Chapter 118: The Dazzling Male God
better than those outside, but judging by his stingy personality, he probably won't give you too many. Just take two at random." Fu Zimo stood beside her, giving a simple introduction.Man is killed b...Her docility made Xiao Fan proudly raise his neck. His arrogant appearance was almost as if he was looking down at Yun Tianzi with his nose. At that time, she didn't know that in the Tiangige, among the younger generation, only Xiao Fan dared to speak to Yun Tianzi like this. Because Xiao Fan was also a genius, he had the confidence and capital to be arrogant.
After Xiao Fan's words, Yun Tianzi's smile became stiff, he could only awkwardly hold the tea and stay silent.
The atmosphere was awkward, but suddenly the crowd became lively again. Several people looked towards Mei Lin and saw an elderly man walking over with two disciples. The old man had snow-white beard, hunched back, and his long robe didn't have a single wrinkle, showing that he was a very particular person.
"This is Elder Yin, the Third Elder," Xiao Fan explained to Qin Luo'yan. "The one standing beside him is his eldest disciple and the other is his second disciple. Look, don't they look like ox-headed horse-faced"
Qin Luoyan was startled, then took a closer look. Sure enough, the two people were one with a long face and the other with a square face. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Senior Brother, your nickname is quite fitting."
"That's right Those two, the ox-headed and horse-faced ones, are nothing but useless. They can't make weapons, they don't know any formations, all they do is flatter people. Especially the eldest apprentice, look, the one who looks like an ox, he's a real scoundrel. He's harassed many maidservants in the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. With your beauty, sister-in-law, it's hard to say he won't come bother you later. But don't worry, if he dares to come, I and your second brother will beat him until he cries for his mother."
“Uh… okay.” Qin Luoyan nodded, a gentle and kind smile on her face. At the same time, a warm current flowed through her heart, and she liked the people inside the Si Changlao’s sect even more. Her master was disrespectful to elders but fiercely protective of his disciples. Her senior brother was dashing and elegant, while her second senior brother was shy but kind.
Xiao Fan saw that she was smiling too calmly, thinking that she didn't take his words to heart. He urged again: "Junior Sister, don't think that Senior Brother is joking. Now, besides Tianqing, you are the only female disciple in Tiangige. If he takes a fancy to you, don't bear it and dare not speak."
Qin Luoyan smiled and put down her teacup, saying, "Senior brother, please rest assured, I know. If he dares to harass me, I will tell you immediately."
"That's good." Xiao Fan then nodded in satisfaction.
Elder Yin sat at the small table in front, supported by Niu Tou and Ma Mian. A handyman immediately came forward to warm him some tea. He asked Niu Tou to hang a map under a plum tree. Everyone knew he was about to start his lecture, so they all fell silent.
Qin Luo yan frowned, she couldn't help but look around, but she didn't see Fu Zi Mo's figure. He was also a newly promoted inner disciple. Logically, he should have come at this time, but he didn't
Before she could question him, Elder Yin Ge's voice came from ahead.
Last month, I left this formation. After a month, has anyone figured out how to break it" Old Man Yin stroked his beard and asked the people present, his gaze sweeping over each face one by one. When his eyes fell on Qin Luo's face, a flash of disdain appeared in his eyes.
At that glance, Qin Luoyan knew this was another old man who looked down on women from the bone. She was also glad she made the right choice yesterday and didn't let Feng Sihai meet this grumpy Third Elder.
Several disciples sitting near the plum grove fidgeted. One stood up first, bowed respectfully to Elder Yin Ge, and began to talk about his understanding of the formation. As he spoke, Elder Yin Ge nodded, but when he finished, Elder Yin Ge simply waved his hand and snorted coldly: "The front is acceptable, a viable path. But the back... dead end, dead end."
When the disciple heard this, he blushed and sat down, seemingly still unconvinced.
Then two more disciples stood up and shared their thoughts, but Old Master Yin was not satisfied with either of them. After they finished speaking, he suddenly slammed his fist on the table and roared: "You are all useless! In a month's time, has no one been able to come up with a truly effective way to break the formation"
As expected, this temper is just as terrible as the legends say. This roar scared a few of the timid disciples so badly that they couldn't help but tremble.
Qin Luoyan was astonished. Those who could become inner disciples were supposed to be extraordinary, so why did they get scared by Elder Yin Ge But reality didn't allow Qin Luoyan to be surprised for too long, because in the next instant, she was astonished to see Elder Yin Ge accept the whip that the little servant had brought.
He stood up, whip in hand, and starting at the table by the entrance to Plum Forest, pointed at one of them. "Come, you first. Speak truthfully; if you do, this whip will be spared. If not, old man that I am, I shall not be so polite."
The disciple rose up trembling, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. The few people beside him didn't even dare to breathe. He struggled for a while but couldn't utter a single word.
Old Yin sighed, raised his whip and smashed it down on the man.
"With a sharp crack," Qin Luoyan's thoughts, which had been drifting away, were pulled back. She swallowed nervously and quickly turned to Xiao Fan, "Senior brother, is this how the three elders teach their disciples Are we going to be beaten too"
She has absolutely no idea what formations are. She doesn't even know the basics, so there's no way she could answer that question.
“Don’t be afraid, junior sister. He won’t hit us.” Xiao Fan saw her worry and immediately explained: “The three elders only hit their own disciples. They are his true disciples, the ones he genuinely teaches. Those few tables over there are all his disciples. After that, they are the disciples of the pavilion master and the second elder. Except for the three elders’ own disciples, he won’t really lay a hand on other sect disciples; at worst, he’ll just say a few words.”
"I see," Qin Luoyan sighed, taking a sip of tea to soothe her parched throat.
Wu Yi heard her words and leaned in to say, "Don't worry, junior sister. Besides, I know the formation on that diagram. If Elder Yin asks you about it, I'll help you."
"Second Senior Brother, do you know formations" Qin Luoyan widened her eyes in surprise.
Wu Yi hadn't even finished his response when Xiao Fan rolled his eyes and snatched the conversation away, "Of course he will, not only him, but I can too, look, the young master next to you can do it as well, what's so amazing about that."
"You are capable, but when it comes to the speed of breaking formations, the best here is still Shao Gezhu, followed by me, and lastly, your brother." Wu Yi shook his head, stating the cruel truth.
"Wu Yi! Did you intentionally ruin my moment" Xiao Fan laughed, landing a playful punch on Wu Yi's shoulder. The punch was light and carried no real force.
Wu Yi shyly rubbed her chest, giggled bashfully and no longer refuted Xiao Fan's words.
Even the usually stoic young master, Shao Gezhu, smiled along with everyone else. He then turned to Qin Luoyan and asked, "Luoyan, are you proficient in formations"
"Hee hee..." Qin Luoyan awkwardly smiled and replied with four words, "Not a clue."
“It’s okay, you can start from the basics. I have a few introductory books on formations here. I’ll bring them over later. If you don’t understand anything, just ask me.” Yun Tianzi spoke, his eyes never leaving Qin Luoyan’s face. Ever since he learned she was a woman, a light had appeared in his gaze that he didn't even realize himself.
Within just a few exchanges, two more disciples were struck by Old Yin Ge's whip. It seemed as if everyone at the table was about to be beaten. Old Yin Ge's temper grew increasingly volatile. As he saw another disciple unable to answer, he raised his whip again. Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out from afar, stopping him in his tracks.
"Master Yin Ge, how come you suddenly teach your disciples and beat them up again" Walking in from the entrance of Meilin was Yun Tianhai, the master of Tiangijiao. Following closely behind him was Fu Zimo with a face full of grievance.
Elder Yin put down his whip and sighed, “Shame on me, shame on me. I excel in formation techniques, yet not a single disciple in this sect is capable! Look at this, just an intermediate formation, and after a month they still can’t figure out how to break it. It really makes me furious!”
"Why are you getting angry We're both half-way to the grave. Don't you want to leave this world peacefully by handing over your belongings" Yun Tianxi said.
Elder Yin shook his head, "I'd like to teach them too, but these fools just won't learn! Oh, Master, is the person behind you your new disciple"
Yun Tianxi nodded, "That's right, it's been many years since I've taken on a disciple. When I met someone with talent, I couldn't help but take them in. Come, He Huan, meet the Third Elder."
Fu Zi Mo bowed forward with his fist cupped, "Greetings, Third Elder. This disciple is Fu Na He."
His voice was low and alluring, coupled with his handsome features, which momentarily stunned everyone. Especially Yun Tianqing, who sat far away, her gaze fixed on him for a long time, unable to look away. She didn't even realize when her cheeks had started to flush slightly.
Qin Luoyan pulled the corner of her mouth into a dry smile, and from the corner of her eye, she noticed Yun Tianqing's expression. She was even more speechless in her heart. Fu Zimu, even with a mask on, could attract so much female attention. It was no wonder that when he revealed his true form, Fu Zimu had so many women throwing themselves into his arms and vying for his affection.
"What's the matter, Huan" Old Master Yin Ge muttered his name and then asked, "Since the Sect Leader said you have talent, I might as well test you. See that formation over there, what kind of formation can resolve it"
“This…” Fu Zimo looked in the direction he was pointing, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Tianqing quickly walked over.
“Third Elder, you’re asking him to answer right now after everyone else spent a whole month trying to figure out the solution Isn’t that unfair” Yun Tianqing walked up to the group, his voice filled with discontent. His eyes couldn’t help but linger on Fu Zimu.
Yuntai Xi saw Yuntai Qing standing up to speak, and was a little displeased. "Qing'er, how can you speak to Elder Yin like that"
"Father, I'm just afraid my junior brother will be bullied," Yun Tianqing came to Yun Tianxi's side, acting coquettishly and shaking her arm, a pair of eyes rolling around.
Yun Tianxi shook his head helplessly, “This little girl has been spoiled by me. Elder Yin Ge, please bear with her a bit more.” Before Elder Yin Ge could reply, he turned to Fu Zi Mo, “He Huan, have you thought of a way to break the formation”
Fu Zi Mo smiled slightly and nodded, “Sure.”
After finishing his explanation, he gracefully strode towards the formation diagram and picked up a branch from the ground, pointing at a specific spot: "This formation appears to have three focal points, but it's actually one true and two false. The false focal points are very obvious, anyone can see them at first glance. If you start cracking the formation from here, initially it might be possible, but in the end, it will definitely lead to a dead end. The true focal point seems insignificant, but once discovered, there's a glimmer of hope. If you begin breaking the formation from this point, there are eighteen methods you can use. However... if you want to break the formation with the least amount of damage, you can only start from here..."
As his branches moved, the crowd had unconsciously held their breath. Even the two disciples who had previously argued about the method and were somewhat unwilling to accept it, when they heard his explanation, their faces were filled with astonishment. Looking at Fu Zimuo again, almost everyone's face was filled with disbelief.
Qin Luoyan didn't understand the formation, nor did she understand what he was saying. But from the reactions of those around her, she knew that Fu Zimo must have used some amazing method.
Even Xiao Fan and the others next to him couldn't help but put down their teacups and listen attentively.
"It seems that another freak has come to the Tianji Pavilion today," Xiao Fan said with an unsatisfied expression, but admiration in his eyes, "Even I couldn't come up with this many ways to break the formation, and the best method he mentioned, I couldn't think of it. Wu Yi, can you come up with that method"
Wu Yi, who had been called upon, only now came to her senses. She frowned and shook her head. “I can’t either. I wonder which Young Master might it be”
The ball was kicked to Yuntai Zi, but it turned out that Yuntai Zi also had a face full of worry, and then shook his head helplessly.
While Yun Tianqing standing beside the host had completely become a lovestruck state, looking at Fu Zimo's eyes from the initial shyness to the final admiration, a girl's heart was once again harvested by Fu Zimo completely.
As the wind blew, petals of plum blossoms gently drifted down and landed on Fu ZiMo's shoulder. He raised his hand, his slender fingers flicked slightly, and the petal flew away.
His actions, his expressions, were like the most beautiful landscape painting.
Not only was Yun Tianqing dazzling, even Qin Luoyan was momentarily struck by his presence. She remembered him coming to her room last night, a shameless and rogue figure in bed, yet here he was in the daylight, disguised as such an elegant god!
When Fu Zimu finished explaining his method, Elder Yin stared at him with wide eyes, "You kid, are you really a genius who just arrived at the Tiangige yesterday"
"Yes." Fu Zimu replied calmly and collectedly.
Yingu Ge slapped his chest and heartacheedly roared at Yun Tianxi: "Master, you're too unkind! You haven't accepted disciples for so many years, then just don't accept any anymore! Look, a good one who understands formations has finally come along, and you took him away! This is going to leave this old man with no successors!"
"Oh, Elder Yin Ge, what are you saying My disciple isn't also your disciple Why be so distant Besides, my apprentice is not best at formations, so of course we should choose his strengths."
"What's his strong point" Yin Ge, the elder, pondered for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Master, you excel in martial arts. Could this child also be a martial arts prodigy"
"That's right." Yun Tianxi laughed proudly, putting a hand on Elder Yin Ge's shoulder and leading him to the small table from before. "Blame it on this child for being so outstanding in every way. It's just that there was a bit of an accident during the disciple selection process this time, otherwise, there might be several more talented ones."
“Alright, things have come to this. This old man can only wait a few more years.” Old Yin sighed and sat back down at the small table. Then he ordered someone to bring out another formation diagram. However, this time, he didn't test anyone, but instead began to slowly explain the formation on the diagram.
Yun Tianxi was sitting beside Nai Hehuan. In fact, he wouldn't have come on a day like this, but since it was Nai Hehuan's first day entering the sect, he brought him to meet everyone and show off a bit.
Fu Zi Mo merely glanced at the array diagram lightly, seeming not interested at all, so he quickly shifted his gaze. However, in the instant he turned his head, he saw Yun Tian Zi diligently pouring tea for Qin Luo Yan. His brows furrowed slightly and he retracted his gaze.
After a half-day of teaching, Qin Luoyan was completely dumbfounded. She had no foundation, and listening to the explanation of the array formations was like listening to heavenly scriptures.
So when she got back to the courtyard, her face was creased with worry. Even when Elder Yue cooked her a meal, she couldn't muster any spirit.
At the dinner table, Elder Yuege picked up a chicken leg and placed it in her bowl. "Girl, don't give up. It's just an array formation. In the future, I'll have your senior brother and second senior brother teach you first. If they can't teach you, I'll peel their skin!"
Xiao Fan and Wu Yi immediately chimed in, "That's right, little junior sister, starting tomorrow, we'll take turns teaching you."
Qin Luoyan's mood was a little better now, "Well, thank you, Master and Senior Brother."
“Well, eat quickly.” Xiao Fan comforted her for a few words, then suddenly remembered something and awkwardly said, “Oh no, I forgot. I just received a task a couple of days ago to make a weapon and deliver it these days. So, Wu Yi, would you mind staying with your sister for a few days”
Wu Yi nodded, "Good. Starting tomorrow I will practice the teacher's sister formation. By the way, Master, I remember you had a few books on formations before. I'll find them and use them later."
Upon hearing this, Yuege immediately used his chopsticks to rap Wu Yi on the head, "My formation book contains advanced formations. How could your junior sister understand it without a foundation"
"What should we do then" Wu Yi looked distressed, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Why don't we ask the young master Didn't he say today that he had some basic books"
"No!" This time, both Yuege Lao and Xiao Fan let out a low growl in unison.
"Why" Wu Yi asked, puzzled.
Elder Yue took his chopsticks and tapped them on the table, a look of frustration etched across his face. "You foolish boy, you just won't learn! When a weasel greets a chicken, there is no good intention behind it. I've heard from your eldest brother that this Yun Tianzi has eyes only for our young miss. He looks at her with flames of desire burning in his eyes. Do you understand Hmph! This old man won't give him the chance to court my daughter!"
In just one day, Qin Luoyan had automatically risen to the position of his family's maid.
She curled her lip and said with a hint of displeasure, "It's just borrowing a book. It shouldn't be a big deal, right" They were overreacting, weren't they She was an individual, capable of making her own decisions. Just because someone flirted with her didn't mean she would fall for it.
“Is that all there is to it” Yuege Lao raised his voice. “There’s give and take in borrowing and returning, isn't there With give and take comes an excuse, and with excuses come countless ways to get involved. Back in my day, I used this method to… well, let’s just say it worked for me. In any case, you can’t find him.”
"What should I do then" Qin Luoyan sighed, encountering these overly protective masters and senior brothers was a headache.
Yue Ge Lao tapped the table with his chopsticks, seemingly racking his brains for a solution. After a while, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "We can't borrow it, but we can steal it!"
" "..." Qin Luoyan was speechless. This solution was truly the last resort.
To their surprise, Xiao Fan and Wu Yi found the idea quite reasonable. After some discussion, they decided to put the plan into action that very night.
Qin Luoyan's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, but her heart was unknowingly melting with warmth.
That night, the three old men of Yuege prepared their tools for burglary, donned their night clothes, and set off with high spirits under Qin Luo'yan's watchful gaze.
Qin Luoyan carried a lantern into the courtyard, hung it on the crooked neck tree in the courtyard, then sat down on the stone bench under the tree. She had even prepared some snacks to reward them when they returned later.
On a spring night, the chill had disappeared, leaving only a slight coolness. The sky was ablaze with stars, each twinkling like a brilliant diamond, carrying the dreamy aspirations of countless young hearts.
She unconsciously hummed a little tune, her fingers lightly tapping to the rhythm. Thinking back to the exaggerated expressions of the three people she had just met, she couldn't help but chuckle again.
"You seem to be in a good mood." A sudden voice interrupted her humming.
Qin Luo yan raised her head and saw a figure appear in front of her at some point. She was not panicked because the voice was already too familiar to her.
"How did you get here"
"Can't I come" Fu Zi Mo smiled as he walked up to her, pulled her up from the stone bench, and then sat down himself. He pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Qin Luoyan was forced to sit close to him, a slight stiffness in the smile on her face. "No, it's just that I think Your Highness hiding his identity at Tiangige, coming here frequently, what if someone finds out and ruins your reputation"
Fu Zi Mo chuckled lightly, his hand trailing along her waist as he moved upwards. His lips brushed against her ear, and in a captivating voice, he murmured, "But, this king has grown accustomed to your body. Without you warming my bed, this king...cannot sleep."
Damn it! Isn't this just another case of beastly urges getting out of control You talk so subtly! Beast!
Qin Luo'yan roared inwardly, but her face remained a smile. She only pressed down on his hands that were about to move, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate in this courtyard..."
“Your master and the others didn’t just leave, did they Yun Tianzi is after all the young lord of the palace, his place isn't so easy to come and go from.” Fu Zi Mo brushed her hand away, continuing upwards, “Besides, let me ask you, if those protective masters and senior brothers of yours knew that the person they were desperately protecting had long since become a plaything under this king’s control, what would they do”
