Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

The servant who had served Lady Wang for more than fifty years brought lunch. Before the meal, Ma Zhan placed the rosewood food box in the middle of the stone table.

“Madam, this is a gift for you.

Mid-Autumn Festival is when the moon is at its fullest in a year, and this thing is called mooncake.”

As Ma Zhan spoke, he opened the food box and placed five round mooncakes on an exquisite porcelain plate.

Ma Zhan originally planned to make it himself, but after studying it for a long time, he only made baked buns.

Finally, I found the chef of Hongyue Tower and had these five mooncakes made according to my requirements.

Except for Mengyao, the other three people present stared at the mooncakes with curiosity.

"What mooncake? It's just a smaller, thicker pie."

Lady Wang also looked a little embarrassed. She really didn't understand the meaning of mooncakes.

However, since this was the first time Ma Zhan gave him a gift, he didn't want to embarrass the kid, so he could only smile in surprise.

Ma Zhan coughed twice and began his speech.

There are many legends about mooncakes. Ma Zhan abandoned reliable historical facts and began to bring in mythological stories.

There were tributes to the Moon Goddess, Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit, Wu Gang and the osmanthus tree, Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, and so on and so forth.

The other four had never heard of such a legend, although they all thought that Ma Zhan was talking nonsense.

With the blessing of the legend, looking at mooncakes will be different.

What you eat is not the mooncake, but the story behind it.

In the evening, Ma Botong and Yuehua returned to Qingshui City, and Ma Zhan and Mengyao naturally stayed on Haitang Island.

During dinner, Lady Wang ate the last piece of mooncake.

She looked at Ma Zhan with some curiosity and sighed.

Hu Zi, the fact that you can make up such a tortuous and bizarre story to give me a gift shows that you are very clever.

He always has some wild and imaginative ideas, and is a great candidate for a formation master."

"What? I also have the talent to be a formation master..."

"Um~, old lady. Shouldn't a formation master be someone like Mengyao? Someone who is quiet and patient has more advantages."

Lady Wang nodded, then shook her head.

"In the early stages of formation patterns, you need to calm down and accumulate a lot of knowledge.

There are 3,600 basic array patterns in the world, which need to be memorized one by one and practiced over and over again.

When reaching the fifth-grade bottleneck, the basic array pattern can no longer help the array pattern master break through the bottleneck.

The array master understands his own "intention" and relies on the ideas in his own mind to draw his own array pattern.

And it is even more difficult to enter the Tao through array patterns.

It requires a huge accumulation of basic formation patterns, personal thinking about the formation patterns, and a unique perspective on things in the world.

Therefore, the requirements for array masters are very high.

Huzi, your thoughts that go against the Tiangang indicate that you may be a promising array master."

"I see~, so that's how it is."

A formation master truly has the qualities of a scientist. Learning the basic subjects well is one thing, but only when one has made breakthroughs in their field can one be called a scientist.

The technology tree of the 21st century gave Ma Zhan a vision that surpassed everyone else in this world.

The rich cultural heritage and liberated thinking on the Blue Planet have allowed Ma Zhan's thoughts to transcend this world by thousands of years.

Ma Zhan was a little impatient. A formation master was a high-income person with a very high social status.

When it reaches a certain level, maybe he can increase grain output like Grandpa Yuan and become a person respected by the world.

"Old Madam, do you know so much about tattoo masters?

Do you have any powerful formation masters under your command?

Is he as powerful as my fourth uncle?"

Ma Zhan's series of questions left Concubine Wang speechless.

Lady Wang picked up a cup of tea and said softly.

"I am the most powerful array master in the entire Yi tribe."

"What?..."

Ma Zhan's shout of "bad" scared Concubine Wang so much that she almost spit out her tea.

"Don't be so startled, kid."

"Well, well, you, you didn't teach me the formation pattern, so now I'm practicing hammer and axe, and I'm tired as a dog every day."

Lady Wang patted Ma Zhan's head gently.

"When you were little, you never finished copying the scriptures I asked you to copy.

Besides, why don't you check your handwriting? How can I teach you when you have such a whiny temper?"

"Okay~."

Ma Zhan pursed his lips. If he wanted to be a formation master, then his upper limit would be very high.

But getting started is difficult.

In other words, for a sports student, wanting to become a scientist is no different from dreaming.

Ma Zhan himself may not be able to do it, but he has a wife.

“Yes, old lady.

Mengyao is a very talented array master, you can teach her.

When she runs out of ideas, I can help her."

Concubine Wang was defeated by Ma Zhan's train of thought.

"You can't help her. Her thoughts are her own business and cannot be helped by external forces.

But after spending time with you, Mengyao will be influenced by you, which will be of great benefit to her."

Lady Wang held Mengyao's hand and said.

"The first patriarch of the Longzhong Meng family, Meng Shenji, was a second-grade formation master.

His life-long accumulation laid the foundation for the Meng family.

However, since Meng Shenji, there has not been another fourth-grade formation master in the Meng family.

The Meng family has all been misled by worldly affairs.

Girl, you are already a seventh-grade array master at the age of thirteen. You may be the only one in the Meng family who can reach the level of Meng Shenji."

Mengyao said with a firm look in her eyes.

"Madam, I am from the Ma family."

Lady Wang stroked Mengyao's hair lovingly and said.

"Good boy, I'm sorry for the hardship you've suffered.

When Hu Zi goes to Mount Emei, you can come and learn the formation patterns from me.

The accumulation of formation patterns of our entire Yi people far exceeds that of the Meng family."

Meng Yao's eyes were full of expectation, but she still looked at Ma Zhan, as if to seek her husband's consent.

Ma Zhan agreed on Meng Yao's behalf without even thinking about it.

Meng Yao will definitely not suffer any loss if she learns the formation patterns from Lady Wang.

Lady Wang is the daughter of the Yi tribe leader. She dares to call herself the most powerful formation master in the entire Dongshan Road, and her cultivation level is at least third-grade.

Imagine it from another angle. If your wife becomes a high-level array master in the future, you can live off her.

During these days on Haitang Island, Mengyao became Lady Wang's little cotton-padded jacket.

Ma Zhan practiced with an axe and then a hammer alone.

After practicing the Judge's Pen and archery, I had a very fulfilling life.

However, in addition to practicing martial arts, Ma Zhan also insisted on practicing calligraphy for two days, but he could not hold on on the third day.

Lady Wang was not at all disturbed by Ma Zhan's performance.

She had long seen through Ma Zhan. He was a good candidate for a formation master, but just a good candidate.

Ma Zhan, who didn't believe in evil, asked Meng Yao to teach him the simplest defensive pattern.

After wasting a stack of paper, Ma Zhan got so angry that he burned the formation pattern he had drawn, and then took a small boat to the island to shoot fish.

Looking at Ma Zhan's expression, Lady Wang found it funny.

After laughing, she sighed again.

She originally wanted Ma Zhan to inherit her mantle as a formation master, but due to his natural personality, Ma Zhan was unable to calm down and polish each stroke one by one.

The one who least wanted Ma Zhan to follow the path of a warrior was Concubine Wang.

Both of his grandsons are talented in both literature and martial arts. The next generation of the Ma family will not be bad, and can completely ensure Ma Zhan a stable life.
