CHAPTER 885: CHAPTER 882: TRICKED BY A BEAUTIFUL MASTER

Xu Wendong had no idea that Fuyao was keeping an eye on his every move. After dinner, he returned to his room.

He even refused Xiao Die’s suggestion to enjoy the moon.

She mentioned that Jade Maiden Palace had a perfect place for moon viewing, where, if lucky, one could see the Guanghan Palace on the moon.

If it were the Sword Pavilion or the Elixir Sect, Xu Wendong wouldn’t mind going to enjoy the moon.

He really wanted to see if there was a Guanghan Palace on the moon after all.

But this was the Jade Maiden Palace!

He was the only man in this grand Sect.

If he went out, it would surely cause some inconvenience to the other disciples.

So.

The best way was to stay indoors and go nowhere.

He slept until dawn, feeling refreshed and inexplicably at ease.

When he pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, Xiao Die, dressed in a long azure robe, came over with a delicate breakfast and Hundred Flowers Dew.

After placing the breakfast on the stone table, Xiao Die smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu, please eat; I’ve already eaten."

Xu Wendong hummed in acknowledgment and sat down to enjoy the breakfast of Jade Maiden Palace.

At that moment.

Fuyao, dressed in a long red dress, walked in with a graceful stride, an air of dignity and an arrogant look in her eyes.

She seemed to be a high and mighty Female Emperor, too awe-inspiring to look at directly.

Xu Wendong got up to pay his respects, "Greetings, Senior!"

"Sit, no need for formalities." Fuyao’s face revealed no emotions as she elegantly sat in front of Xu Wendong, motioning for Xiao Die to leave.

Fuyao: "What did you think about the matter from yesterday?"

Xu Wendong replied, "This junior is willing to join the Jade Maiden Palace."

"That is a very wise choice!" Fuyao’s stunning face broke into a captivating smile, mesmerizing Xu Wendong.

He didn’t know how to describe Fuyao’s smile; it felt like the whole world stopped at that moment.

It was as if a cup of warm wine in an ice-cold world could warm one’s heart.

Fuyao continued, "Since Jade Maiden Palace is ultimately for female disciples, accepting you as a disciple might provoke gossip from others in the world."

"Therefore, the matter of accepting you as a disciple will not be announced to the world."

"You know."

"I know."

"Heaven and earth know; that’s enough!"

Xu Wendong solemnly stood up, knelt on the ground, "Disciple Xu Wendong pays respect to Master!" saying this, he kowtowed three times.

Fuyao nodded with satisfaction, "Rise."

"Yes!" Xu Wendong stood up respectfully.

Fuyao added, "Since you have become my disciple, I will adhere to our previous agreement. Relax your mind, and I will pass the Formation to you!"

She pinched the spell with both hands, a brilliant golden light gathered at her fingertips, and she gently pressed it against Xu Wendong’s brow.

In an instant.

A vast knowledge of formations burst forth in Xu Wendong’s Sea of Consciousness like a dam breaking, Confinement Array, Slaughter Array, Illusion Array, all there.

Xu Wendong absorbed the knowledge madly, gaining a new understanding of formations.

Formations are not just about using Spirit Stones to create an array base, serving to kill and fend off enemies.

Truly powerful arrays need no Spirit Stones as bases.

Because, grass and wood, mountains and rivers, the sun and moon, stars, all can form a formation.

"I never thought the knowledge of formations could be so vast and profound." Xu Wendong was full of astonishment; the formation inheritance he received today overturned his previous understanding.

Fuyao said, "The Path of Formation is vast and unpredictable, achieving something is as hard as ascending to heaven."

"But for you, it’s different. Your achievements in the Alchemy Dao are unparalleled, and there are similarities between Alchemy Dao and formations."

"Given your understanding, you’ll surely achieve something."

Xu Wendong smiled slightly, without saying much.

He was a humble man.

Whenever praised, he felt somewhat at a loss.

"To learn formations, first, you must learn Breaking the Formation!" Fuyao whispered, "I previously set up an array, start your learning by breaking this array today!"

"Okay." Xu Wendong agreed readily, with only less than three months left before the Nine Provinces Elite Tournament, he must enhance his abilities in this time.

Swish!

A cyan longsword appeared under Fuyao’s feet, carrying Xu Wendong away from the Jade Maiden Palace.

After flying for over ten minutes.

A mist-covered mountain forest appeared below.

It looked no different, but Xu Wendong sensed a faint formation fluctuation.

Fuyao: "Go!"

Xu Wendong curiously asked, "Master, may I be so bold as to ask, to which kind of array does this belong?"

"If you know it’s bold, why do you still ask unnecessarily?" Fuyao showed no expression, but her tone carried a chilling coldness: "Do you also need me to tell you how to break it?"

Xu Wendong was full of embarrassment.

Before he could speak, Fuyao kicked him off the Flying Sword.

"···"

Xu Wendong was utterly bewildered.

This woman’s mood changes too unpredictably, doesn’t it?

Not fun.

Not fun at all.

After all, he had three masters, Wuming might be unreliable, but never would lift a hand against him.

Much less Xu Canghai, who was very indulgent towards him.

As for Fuyao.

He had just joined her as a disciple and she already laid a hand on him, Lord knows what would happen in the future.

He composed his mind, landing steadily in the mist-shrouded forest.

What took him by surprise was.

The mist here was particularly dense, visibility was less than three meters.

Of course.

That wasn’t the main issue.

The main issue was that his Soul Force was strangely restricted, unable to envelop this place, let alone find the array base.

"Is this a Mist Array?"

"If it’s merely a Mist Array, it wouldn’t affect my Soul Force."

Xu Wendong frowned tightly.

To break the formation, one must first identify what kind of array this was.

If it’s a Confinement Array, and you treat it like a Slaughter Array, it’s impossible to break.

And now.

Xu Wendong was stuck.

Because he couldn’t figure out what kind of array this was at all.

He had no clue right now.

As he was at a loss, Fuyao’s cold voice came from above, "If you can’t break the array in three days, don’t hope to see those four girls again!"

"Damn it! Are you kidding me?" Xu Wendong was displeased, he agreed to join Fuyao’s tutelage because of Zhongli, Zhu Qing, Yun Yao, and Jian You.

If he couldn’t see them for life.

Then what was the point of joining the Jade Maiden Palace?

Fuyao’s voice echoed again, "I’ve changed my mind; now you only have one day."

Xu Wendong’s scalp tingled.

He never expected this woman to be so ruthless.

He didn’t doubt her seriousness at all; if he couldn’t break this array in a day, she definitely wouldn’t allow him to meet Zhongli and the others!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes slowly, and attentively sensed the wind and grass around him.

Whether he could meet those four confidants depended on whether he could break this array today!
