Chapter 192 Taoist Eyes (9)

Gao Ge fails to understand what the sovereign says—Time waits for no man, but when the words are uttered, he can feel the helplessness of the man.

Master Guanshan is a bit surprised at Gao Ge’s return to the pavilion.

“Why are you here again?” Master Guanshan gazes at Gao Ge in the way as if looking at a demon, “Are you here to occupy the aura of my place again?”

Gao Ge laughs and sits down, saying, “I am recovered.”

“So fast?” Master Guanshan hedges, asking, “Didn’t you say that it would take three or four days to get recovered?”

Gao Ge laughs and says, “Well, it is attributed to the abundant asset of the Heaven School. He sent me 20 spiritual jades just for me to get recovered so that I can heal you as soon as possible.”

Hearing what Gao Ge said, Master Guanshan keeps silent. He frowns and thinks for a while, saying, “Since when the Heaven School had some many spiritual jades? Moreover, why do they want me to get recovered in such a hurry? Is the Heaven School in great trouble now?”

Gao Ge laughs, saying, “There is no point asking that. How do I possibly know it?”

Master Guanshan sighs and says, “You are quite smart. Tell me if you think of anything.”

Gao Ge laughs, “You are the grandmaster of the Heaven School but you are not the sovereign. Why are you worried about that?”

Master Guanshan becomes a bit unhappy with Gao Ge’s words, “Nonsense. As the grandmaster of the Heaven School, I must care about the safety of it. Now that the sovereign is in such a rush to let me recovered, big trouble must be approaching the Heaven School!”

Gao Ge shakes his head without saying anything.

Actually, he has the same thought as Master Guanshan.

Otherwise, he can’t understand why the sovereign is so anxious.

After all, he has told the sovereign that he knows how to heal Master Guanshan, except that he needs some time.

Gao Ge’s power of stars is tremendously consumed for treating Master Guanshan for a while. Yet, it is quite effective. It can be clearly seen that the wound of Master Guanshan has stopped festering.

Master Guanshan is lying on bed, gasping for air.

When Gao Ge is about to leave, Master Guanshan suddenly stops him.

“Boy, did you forget what you said to me?”

Gao Ge turns around to look at him, full of confusion.

Master Guanshan snorts, “Last time you came here, you promised me to learn the array method from me.”

Gao Ge takes a tumble and nods his head.

More skills, greater chances of survival. There’s nothing wrong with the saying.

He will not badger into asking for learning the array method. However, now the opportunity is right in front of him. He cannot think of a reason to reject the offer of learning it from the grandmaster of the Heaven School. After all, when he arrived at the Heaven School and Cloud Climbing Stairs, he noticed that the array methods were rather mysterious. If he can grasp them, he may use the help someday.

“Kneel in front of me first.” Master Guanshan says to Gao Ge.

Surprised, Gao Ge asks, “Why do I have to kneel?”

Master Guanshan says angrily, “What kind of question is that? You want to learn the array method from me. Shouldn’t you take me as your teacher by kneeling down and kowtowing to me?”

Gao Ge hesitates.

Judging from the unwilling face of Gao Ge, Master Guanshan alters his tone and says, “But things are different now. We can leave out the red tape. It will be fine if you just bow to me.”

Gao Ge stares at Master Guanshan without saying anything.

Gazed by Gao Ge in a weird look, Master Guanshan feels rather uncomfortable. He dodges Gao Ge’s eyes subconsciously and coughs, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“You look rather eager to let me learn the array method from you!” Gao Ge says.

“Hmm. If you sincerely want to learn, I can teach you in terms of your intelligence. Yet, if you don’t want to, I will not force you then.” Master Guanshan says.

Looking at the arrogant face of Master Guanshan, Gao Ge frowns and then suddenly smiles, saying, “Since so, I will not bother you then. After I heal you, I will leave Mount Que. By then you can teach anyone at will. It’s none of my business.”

Master Guanshan becomes completely anxious about Gao Ge’s leaving.

“Stop there!”

Gao Ge stops with a cunny smile on his face. It looks as if he has succeeded in tricking the man.

He turns around slowly and yet in a confused look, “Grandmaster, do you have other things to say?”

“You really don’t want to learn the array method?” Master Guanshan asks Gao Ge.

Gao Ge says smilingly, “It is not that I don’t want to but that you look rather unwilling to teach me. I think there are many students in the Heaven School and many of them are quite excellent. I am not gifted after all, so I may as well give up. I don’t want to be scolded by you for making any mistake in learning.”

“No, no, no. I didn’t say that…” Master Guanshan regrets having said that instantly.

He feels as if falling into a trap.

Looking at Gao Ge’s increasingly weird smile, Master Guanshan sighs and beckons Gao Ge.

Gao Ge sits down again.

“Fine, I said you were smart before. Now it seems that I did hit the nail on the head.”

Gao Ge instantly widens his eyes, “So you just said it carelessly?”

“Hmm, it is not important.” Master Guanshan says casually.

Gao Ge feels pain in his chest.

He really wants to tell the man that it is quite important actually!

He feels that he has been insulted in terms of intelligence.

“In fact, not everyone can learn about array methods. Take the array of the stairs for example. Even the sovereign of the Heaven School, Daotu cannot crack it anyway.”

Gao Ge is astounded by his words.

“Over the past years, I have also asked Daotu to bring some gifted students of the Heaven School over but I was disappointed all the time. None of the tens of tested students could crack this simple array method.” Master Guanshan shakes his head with a bitter smile, “For a moment I even doubted whether there would be no one in the Heaven School to get the hang of the magic array in future. It was me who set up the arrays outside the Heaven School and Cloud Climbing Stairs, but the arrays must be changed and amended. Otherwise, they will collapse like dilapidated houses.”

Gao Ge gets a bit confused, “Is it hard to take up the magic arrays?”

“As a saying goes, those who can grasp it won’t feel difficult while those who find it difficult won’t be able to grasp it. Very few people can figure out the simplest array of the stairs, not because that array is so complicated but because they lack something.”

“What is it?” Gao Ge asks subconsciously.

Master Guanshan stares at Gao Ge and gives a smile, saying, “Taoist Eyes.”
