Mu Weizhu looked utterly confused. "Brother Ye? What do you mean?"
"My own treasure. Why should I give it to you? Do you deserve it?" Mo Xuanye thought about his little princess consort's current strength. She just needed this Ice Soul Spiritual - Gathering Hairpin to gather spiritual energy and help her cultivate quickly. But now an outsider was coveting this hairpin. He couldn't bear it for a moment and directly retorted.
Hong Xiaoxiao, standing beside them, was secretly delighted to see this. So she didn't even plan to speak up to help.
Moreover, Mo Xuanye had such a powerful aura. Even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to speak for Mu Weizhu when Mo Xuanye was angry.
Mu Weizhu's face turned red and then pale at Mo Xuanye's words. Thinking that Hong Xiaoxiao was watching, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"From now on, don't covet other people's things all the time. You're disgracing your master." Mo Xuanye seemed not to notice Mu Weizhu's blushing and pale face. He gave her another hard blow and then turned around and strode away.
This time, Mu Weizhu couldn't even stand steadily. She subconsciously took a step back, her legs went weak, and she sat directly on the ground.
Although Hong Xiaoxiao was enjoying the show, she couldn't just stand by coldly when Mu Weizhu was sitting slumped on the ground.
"Weizhu, are you okay?" Hong Xiaoxiao helped her up while pretending to be concerned and worried.
Supported by Hong Xiaoxiao, Mu Weizhu watched Mo Xuanye's retreating back. A flash of resentment passed through her eyes.
...
On the other side, Feng Yuqin was constantly studying the formation in order to take the Dragon - Roaring Sword away smoothly for Mo Xuanye to make a contract with.
Moreover, Feng Yuqin acted extremely fast. In less than half a day, she had already studied a small part of the formation.
Xiaojin was shocked by his master's talent.
He knew very well about his master's situation.
Back then in the Cloud Peak Forest, when she fell off that cliff, she hadn't even come into contact with complex formations.
But after just watching Mo Xuanye break the formation, she remembered it and knew how to draw inferences from one instance.
This talent and this intelligence were something he hadn't seen in tens of thousands of years.
"Xiaojin, go and stand in the northeast position for me." Feng Yuqin suddenly said.
Xiaojin was startled and asked in disbelief, "Master, have you already deciphered the northeast position so quickly?"
Feng Yuqin nodded and gave a soft "um".
Xiaojin quickly ran to the position Feng Yuqin pointed to and then said, "Master, others may not even touch the threshold of learning formations in a few years, but you can study such an ancient formation just by watching it once. How can others survive?"
"Actually, this formation has rules. It's just that there's a probability in this rule, and it's not easy to find. If you can figure out this rule, it's still quite fast to learn." Feng Yuqin was able to learn so quickly because of this factor.
In fact, she was benefiting from her past - life experience, because this formation was somewhat similar to the mechanisms she had learned in her previous life.
It was because of this foundation that she could learn so quickly.
That's why she had confidence in this aspect before, because she had guessed this when she saw Mo Xuanye break the formation last time.
Just now when she was breaking the formation, after a test, it was indeed as she had thought.
"Can you teach this rule to others?" Xiaojin asked curiously.
"Sure. I'll sort out these rules and teach them to the people in the Dark Night Pavilion later. After all, when they go out for training in the future, they'll easily encounter formations. An extra skill means an extra chance to save their lives." Feng Yuqin said.
"Master, the people in the Dark Night Pavilion are really lucky to have a master like you. I'm also lucky to have met you." Xiaojin sighed.
Feng Yuqin's lips curled slightly. "To meet is a fate for both of us."
As time passed by, two - thirds of the formation had been deciphered. The Dragon - Roaring Sword in the formation began to stir restlessly again.
"Master, the Dragon - Roaring Sword wants to break out of the formation." Xiaojin said worriedly.
"As long as you stand firm in your position, it can't come out." Feng Yuqin said firmly.
Hearing this, Xiaojin asked in surprise, "Is my position very important?"
"Yeah, it's the most important position, which concerns the key point of the whole formation." Feng Yuqin answered while looking for the remaining methods.
Since there were too many small formation eyes in the formation, she had to find out the real ones.
Then the formation would be cracked.
Soon, another half - day passed, and Feng Yuqin finally found the real formation eyes.
However, after she found them, she didn't break them but started to set up a new formation beside them.
"Master, are you going to set up a formation exactly the same as this one?" Xiaojin asked excitedly.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "I must set up the formation first. Otherwise, what if it runs away? This is the first proper gift I'm giving to a man. I can't let the gift run away by itself."
"What are you doing? Let me go quickly." Hearing Feng Yuqin and Xiaojin's conversation, the Dragon - Roaring Sword's tone began to get a bit flustered.
Because he had been observing. Before, he was quite lucky, thinking that Feng Yuqin was too weak, simply a useless person. Maybe she only had some talent in formations. So he was looking forward to Feng Yuqin breaking the formation so that he could leave and roam the world.
But now he found that Feng Yuqin had let Xiaojin occupy an important position. After she finished studying the formation, she didn't break it directly but set up a new formation beside it. This made him feel something was wrong.
He had been trapped for too long and didn't want to be locked into a formation again just when he saw hope.
"Let what go? You're the gift my master is giving to the lord." Xiaojin retorted angrily at the Dragon - Roaring Sword.
Hearing Xiaojin's address of "lord" for Mo Xuanye while she was setting up the formation, Feng Yuqin twitched the corner of her mouth hard. What a terrible address!
"I don't want to. I knew it when you were discussing before." The Dragon - Roaring Sword protested. "Your master is just a useless person. Except for being a bit good at formations, her strength is extremely weak. The man who can take a fancy to her must also be a useless person."
The Dragon - Roaring Sword's words about Mo Xuanye directly offended Feng Yuqin. She stood up and threw several soul stones into the formation where the Dragon - Roaring Sword was.
Ah...
Soon, the painful wailing of the Dragon - Roaring Sword came from the depths of the formation.
Xiaojin was startled by the sound. He looked at Feng Yuqin, who had started to continue setting up the formation, and asked, "Master, what did you do? Why did you make it so painful?"
"For daring to slander the man I've taken a fancy to, I'm just giving it a little lesson." Feng Yuqin's calm attitude, in contrast to the Dragon - Roaring Sword's painful wailing, seemed extremely strange.
Xiaojin couldn't help shivering. Sure enough, one must never offend the master.
The master's punishment was simply too terrifying.
Listening to the shrill cries of the Dragon - Roaring Sword in the formation, it was completely a way to make the enemy suffer continuously without making a sound.
This was still when the master's strength was not very powerful.
If one day the master became very powerful...
Xiaojin shook his head. He didn't even dare to think about that scene.
