"He told to break the formation. If you want to kill him, just kill him, but please don’t kill ," the Array Master voluntarily confessed, without Ye Qiu needing to ask, revealing Li the Pill Master.
In fact, he knew his excuse was flimsy; he just had no better option. He couldn’t exactly admit, "I’m intentionally infiltrating your Dan Shen Sect’s inner circle."
"I don’t know him, and I have no idea what he’s talking about," Li the Pill Master feigned ignorance, maintaining his composure.
"He says he doesn’t know you," Ye Qiu said with a smile to the Array Master. At Ye Qiu’s signal, the burly man holding the Array Master increased his grip, making the Array Master scream in pain.
"Li, don’t deny it. If it weren’t for you, would I be in this situation?" the Array Master roared at Li the Pill Master.
They seed to be good friends, but in the face of life and death, friendship is aningless; self-preservation is the ultimate truth.
Li the Pill Master was silently furious, unable to believe his ’comrade’ could be so ruthless. But he couldn’t bla him; he denied knowing him first, showing cold-heartedness, while the Array Master was rely trying to save himself.
"Li, if you wanted to co to our Dan Shen Sect, you could have visited officially. Why sneak in during the night? You’re shaming your Tian Can Sect, do you know that?" Ye Qiu taunted.
Li the Pill Master stayed silent, knowing that anything he said would just invite more ridicule and humiliation.
Seeing Li the Pill Master silent, Ye Qiu didn’t press further. He instructed Jin Xiaoshun to tie him up and deal with him the next day.
As for the Array Master, Ye Qiu asked a few more questions, and the Array Master confessed everything.
"No wonder they could enter silently. Turns out this guy is a formation practitioner," Jin Xiaoshun said.
"Sect Leader, it seems formations alone aren’t enough to secure our Dan Shen Sect," Hua Wuji added.
Ye Qiu understood. This formation practitioner could break his formations, showing quite so proficiency in the art. His formations needed improvent.
How to improve his formation skills?
Ye Qiu pondered for a while. Suddenly, the Array Practitioner said, "Sir, I’ve fully cooperated. Can you let go? I bear no grudge against you, and I’ve caused no harm. Please, let go."
Jin Xiaoshun suddenly kicked the Array Master. "Quiet, letting you go or not is up to the Sect Leader."
Seeing the Array Master writhing in pain from his kick, Jin Xiaoshun felt a bit proud, proving his True Qi level was enough to deal with the Array Master.
Ye Qiu was struggling with how to advance his formation skills. Then his gaze fell on the Array Master, realizing he had a ready-made resource right there.
Ye Qiu flashed an odd smile at the Array Master and told Jin Xiaoshun, "Take this person to my room."
"What do you plan to do?"
"No, my body has never been touched by a man; you can’t do this."
"Oh hero, senior, master, sir, please let go like a fart; don’t force ."
Upon hearing he was to be taken into the man’s room, the Array Master’s face changed dramatically, fearing Ye Qiu might have so peculiar taste, like a fondness for male love. It was an unbearable thought, worse than death.
Jin Xiaoshun swallowed hard, hesitating before saying, "Sect Leader, do you really have such a peculiar taste?"
Even Hua Wuji instinctively took a few steps back, looking at Ye Qiu with a strange expression.
Noting their reactions, Ye Qiu was speechless, realizing they misunderstood.
"This guy is useful to ; what are you all thinking?"
"Sect Leader, think carefully. One step wrong ans every step wrong afterward," Jin Xiaoshun said regretfully.
"Sect Leader, we know he’s useful to you, but he’s a man. I was even planning to introduce my sister to you, but it seems there’s no chance now," Hua Wuji lanted.
Ye Qiu’s forehead was covered in taphorical black lines. He thought to himself, do I really seem like soone with peculiar desires?
"You all co in with . No one is allowed to leave!" Ye Qiu commanded.
Hearing this, Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji felt a chill down their spines. Four n in one room... the thought was too much to handle.
As they entered the room and heard Ye Qiu questioning the Array Master about formations, Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji realized they had misunderstood.
"I said it before, the Sect Leader is as refined as jade; how could he have such taste?" Jin Xiaoshun chuckled.
Hua Wuji patted his chest. "With the Sect Leader like this, we can still be friends."
Ye Qiu glanced at the two, prompting them to wisely refrain from saying more.
As Ye Qiu questioned the Array Master about formations, the Array Master inexplicably felt a sense of relief and even a bit of gratitude.
Yet, formations were his ultimate secret. He couldn’t just reveal them.
The Array Master refused to speak, and Ye Qiu stroked his chin and said calmly, "If you don’t talk, I’ll find ten n with peculiar tastes to let you experience being a bride. Do you believe ?"
Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji imagined the scene and imdiately found it intolerable, saying Ye Qiu was too dirty-minded.
The Array Master, hearing this and sensing Ye Qiu’s serious tone, dared not remain silent. He spilled out everything in rapid detail.
"Don’t try to deceive . I’m also an Array Master. If I find any deliberate mistakes, I assure you I’ll follow through on my previous promise," Ye Qiu said calmly.
Forced into a corner, the Array Master obediently handed over all the books about formations from his storage ring to Ye Qiu.
Looking at the books on formations, Ye Qiu felt as if he had discovered a treasure. On Earth, ancient texts about formations were scarce. Even the few found in ancient lands and Atlantis’ knowledge repository were basic, negligible at his current level.
His formation skills largely relied on his own comprehension and research, without systematic study.
But the appearance of this Array Master opened a new door for his formation skills, allowing him to see a systematic path in the art of formations.
Although what this person knew about formations wasn’t advanced, it was still greatly beneficial to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu instructed Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji to keep an eye on the man while he began studying the formation books.
Originally, Ye Qiu planned to deal with Li the Pill Master the following day, but he beca so absorbed in the study of formations that he delayed his ergence.
Jin Xiaoshun tightly bound the Array Master, leaving no chance of escape, and ordered several servants to watch over him. As for Li the Pill Master, he was left to suffer exposure to the elents, unmoving, under the sun, enduring the relentless wind and rain, looking truly miserable.
