Chapter 112 Love Brain
Yun Fuzhao thought this formation competition was just a gathering of independent cultivators, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that there were many familiar faces.
Even the Xuan Tian Sect and Ling Yue Sect joined in the fun.
The two sects have been embroiled in controversy over the past two years. First, an inner disciple of the Xuantian Sect was exposed for participating in human trafficking in the human realm, which further damaged the already precarious reputation of the Xuantian Sect. Then, the scandalous news about Xie Wan, the personal disciple of the third elder of the Lingyue Sect, and Wen Yan became the gossip of the cultivators.
Yun Fuzhao really didn't expect that even with the plot falling apart like this, Xie Wan could still have some entanglement with Wen Yan.
It was said to be a trial, and Xie Wan found herself in danger, but Wen Yan came to her rescue. The old-fashioned hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope successfully won Xie Wan's heart.
Wen Yan is also a total philanderer. Even though he and Yu Nian'er have already pledged their lives to each other, he doesn't keep his distance from Xie Wan. On the surface, he rejects her, but in reality, he's giving her hope.
Yun Fuzhao walked straight towards Xie Wan, who was staring intently in the direction of Wen Yan.
“You’ve come back to life.” Yun Fuzhao waved his hand in front of her.
Xie Wan was taken aback. "Fu Zhao? What brings you here?"
"I'm just here to join in the fun," Yun Fuzhao said, pulling Song Ying down to sit next to her. "Haven't you cured your love-struck brain yet?"
Xie Wan shook her head, cupped her face in her hands, and pretended to be a young girl in love. "I don't know why, but my heart beats faster when I see him."
It's hard to believe that the woman in front of me, deeply in love, is the same decisive and intelligent Xie Wan from before.
If it weren't for confirmation, Yun Fuzhao would have suspected that she had been possessed.
Song Ying: "My heart beats faster? My heart beats faster when I see a fine sword."
Two people: "..."
Yun Fuzhao gave her a thumbs up, "You're amazing!"
Xie Wan covered her face, "You guys don't understand."
Yun Fuzhao is exhausted. This plot is ridiculous. Just give Xie Wan back to her normal self already. Why do they have to add these angst-filled moments for the male and female leads?
Right now, she's completely obsessed with love and won't listen to anything I say, so Yun Fuzhao can only keep a close eye on her to prevent her from doing anything foolish.
"Is your sect also here to participate in this formation?"
When it came to serious matters, Xie Wan became a little more normal. "Hmm. Don't you know? This array formation competition is highly prestigious. All array cultivators come to participate in this competition to try their luck."
"How to say?"
“Don’t you sword cultivators have a Famous Sword Ranking? Array cultivators have one too, theirs is called the Famous Array Ranking.” Xie Wan said, “Only by getting on this list can you get a foothold in next year’s disciple selection conference.”
Yun Fuzhao had never heard of this before.
"My junior brother is here today to try and make it onto the Famous Array Ranking. For array cultivators, if their arrays can make it onto the list, it is the highest honor. If they are lucky, they can even be remembered for a thousand years."
Yun Fuzhao became interested, "So all of these top ten are top-tier figures, right?"
“That’s natural.” Xie Wan’s throat was a little dry as she poured herself a cup of tea and continued, “The number one on this array ranking is called the Two Elements Micro Layer Array, which has held the top spot for a hundred years. The number two is called the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Array. The reason I mentioned these two is because both of these array cultivators were renowned geniuses of their time.”
Yun Fuzhao sensed the gossip in the air. "So now, with such high talent, you should be ascending to immortality soon, right?"
"The second one is coming soon. He is now a teacher at the Xuantian Sect, teaching them formations."
Song Ying: "And who got first place?"
“First,” Xie Wan sighed, “he disappeared after creating the Two Elements Micro Dust. After all, the rumors about him at that time were not good. So even though his array is ranked first, his reputation among array cultivators is far inferior to that of the second.”
Because of his master, Yun Fuzhao was quite interested in this formation. "Where can I see this shoe formation?"
Xie Wan took out a booklet from her storage bag and handed it to Yun Fuzhao, saying, "You've come to the right person. I just happened to bring it with me."
"It's actually been printed into a booklet?" Yun Fuzhao was very surprised. "Shouldn't this kind of formation be a family heirloom like a sword technique?"
Isn't the Void Dragon Roar a perfect example? Countless sword cultivators would kill to get into the Xuan Tian Sect for this sword technique.
Xie Wan gave her a look that said, "You don't know this, do you?" She replied, "Formations and sword techniques are different. You'll see when you take a look. You can't just copy them by looking at them."
Yun Fuzhao opened the booklet, and the first page was the number one formation on the list: the Two Elements Micro Dust Formation.
She had practiced setting up formations before, but her rank was low and the formation's movement was relatively simple. Even so, it still took Yun Fuzhao several days to figure it out.
So just by seeing this formation, Yun Fuzhao knew how extraordinary the person who drew it was.
She observed carefully, and for some reason, she always felt something in his eyes.
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
The image flashed through my mind.
Yun Fuzhao remembered that she had seen it before on Qu Wangzhi's unfinished game.
A thought popped into his head, but was immediately dismissed by Yun Fuzhao. Qu Wangzhi was also a formation cultivator, so it was perfectly normal for him to be ranked first on the list of famous formation imitations.
While he was pondering, the formation competition had already begun.
"A seventh-grade formation, not bad, such a high grade right off the bat."
"As expected of the chief disciple of the Xuantian Sect, his abilities are beyond question."
"How could there be such a perfect person as Wen Yan in the world?" Xie Wan murmured.
Hearing this, Yun Fuzhao got goosebumps. "Be normal."
Your persona has collapsed, miss.
Having probably heard this, Wen Yan glanced over and nodded to Xie Wan.
Xie Wan blushed slightly and returned his smile.
Yun Fuzhao saw their interaction, and Yu Nian'er was still there. How could he still dare to do this?
Yu Nian'er sat quietly on the other side, her gaze falling on the beautiful woman. She clearly saw them exchanging glances, but she didn't react at all.
Not right.
Nothing is right.
Yun Fuzhao was the one who understood Yu Nian'er best; how could someone with her personality possibly appear so calm?
Could they be preparing some big surprise?
Xie Wan's methods are not necessarily enough to defeat her.
Yun Fuzhao knew that this matter couldn't be allowed to escalate any further. He had to nip Xie Wan's potential threat in the bud.
Do you have time later?
Seeing Wen Yan walk to Yu Nian'er's side, Xie Wan dejectedly turned her gaze away. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I'll take you to a good place."
Song Ying: "What nice place is it? Take me with you."
"No problem, I must let you know the dangers of the world."
The two looked puzzled.
An hour later, Yun Fuzhao stopped the two who were trying to escape.
Song Ying: "Senior Sister Yun, I just remembered that I haven't let my cow out yet, I have to go."
"Why are you herding cattle? Yours was sold a long time ago."
Xie Wan: "I just remembered I haven't practiced yet today, I'll head out now—"
"No."
Yun Fuzhao pulled them inside, saying, "Come and broaden your horizons, so you don't fall in love with every man you see."
The two, feeling utterly hopeless, were dragged into the "Southern Wind Pavilion" by her.
