My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Luo Hanying patted her chest loudly to indicate that she was in excellent health, and then said, "By the way, I have to tell you where the key points of these formations are."

Ruan Chayan stared disapprovingly at Luo Hanying: "This is your special skill. You can't tell me. You should hide the array's core."

Luo Hanying made up a plausible excuse: "No one knows how many things we will encounter in the future, and I am afraid that I will be controlled by others again."

"My cultivation level is low, and I'm easily fooled. Last time I was controlled by Le Shu, it was Le Shu's consciousness that controlled my body. If I encounter someone who controls my consciousness again, I'll use my formation to deal with you. What if you get injured because you can't handle it?"

Ruan Chayan suggested another possibility: "Don't you ever think about what would happen if I were controlled, and you told me your secret, and then I told someone else?"

Luo Hanying suddenly realized: "You're right, then I won't say it outright, I'll give you a hint."

Unable to refuse, Ruan Chayan had no choice but to listen attentively.

"Just remember, if you want to break the formation, you must find my avatar in the illusion."

After speaking in a low, mysterious voice, Luo Hanying immediately laughed, "How about that? Hard to believe, right?"

Ruan Chayan affectionately patted Luo Hanying's head, but then brought up another matter: "Thinking about it this way, you have a good chance of getting a spot to enter the Lanxi Secret Realm. So I'll work hard too, and go in with you."

"Trust in yourself. Your peppercorn is a hybrid of a rare and powerful shrew. No one can deal with it, and it can also weave illusions!"

Luo Hanying clicked her tongue, "I've figured it out, we two have an inexplicable connection with illusions."

Looking at Luo Hanying, who was so excited she seemed to have lost her bearings, Ruan Chayan couldn't help but worry: "Tongming asked you to discuss formations in three days. What will she want to ask you? She won't want you to teach her your formations, will she?"

I really can't imagine what you could possibly discuss in your formation discussions.

Luo Hanying said confidently, "They probably just want to know about my epiphany and what inspired me."

Or it could be an understanding of formations.

You're overthinking it. How could that be?

-

"You want to become my disciple? How is that possible?!"

Luo Hanying stared at Tongming in astonishment, "Are you kidding me?"

Luo Hanying had been rehearsing countless answers in her mind these past few days, hoping that she could answer any question Tongming might ask her fluently.

When Tongming invited her to the corridor, he didn't ask her a single question about the formation. He just threw down the silence array plate and said he wanted to become her disciple. It sounded absurd no matter how you looked at it.

“This is not a joke, I’m serious.” Tongming immediately kowtowed to the ground, which frightened Luo Hanying so much that she knelt down and kowtowed as well.

Tongming and Luo Hanying, who was kneeling opposite him, looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"Senior Sister Tongming, I'm serious too." Luo Hanying glanced at Ruan Chayan with a troubled expression. Ruan Chayan was still in shock and couldn't help her.

Luo Hanying didn't understand the cultivators' obsessive thoughts about cultivation. She sighed and said, "Didn't we agree that we were just discussing formations?"

"I'll tell you what you're asking, you really don't need to go to all this trouble, it's making me feel so awkward."

"Based on past experience, once a cultivator has an epiphany, he has a complete system that can be passed down."

Tongming shared his understanding: "If you hadn't joined the Shiren Sect so recently and your cultivation level wasn't so high, you could have become the next elder."

I've already mentioned it to my master, and he understands me; he agrees.

Luo Hanying's expression was strange: "Has your Shiren Sect always been like this? In the past, all the cultivators who achieved enlightenment knew the entire lineage?"

Tongming nodded.

“But I’m not like that.” Luo Hanying was also confused. “I can only use verses to create arrays. In fact, I can’t even describe the details of the illusions I weave.”

Do you understand that feeling? I can write down a line of poetry that I understand, and it instantly forms a magic array. How am I supposed to explain that to you?

"What?!" Tongming suspected that Luo Hanying was lying to her, but her expression was genuine.

Ruan Chayan stepped forward and gestured for the two to stand up.

While brushing the dust off her knees, Luo Hanying said, "If you are interested in formations, I can demonstrate them for you. Feel free to ask me any questions you have, and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

There's no need for any apprenticeship; if I were to teach you, I would be misleading you."

Tongming's mind was filled with her words: "You really don't feel any sense of inheritance? Is it because you just had an epiphany and don't know it yet?"

“It’s true. What good would it do me to lie to you?” Luo Hanying said. “You said that those with a lineage can become elders and take on disciples. If I had those qualifications, I would definitely apply to the sect leader. Elders have far more resources than disciples.”

Ruan Chayan spoke up to increase the credibility of Luo Hanying's words: "I was wondering why I didn't understand what you were saying before. It turns out you didn't quite understand either."

Tongming was greatly disappointed. She had thought that her learning was in line with Luo Hanying's, and that she could improve her cultivation by following Luo Hanying.

But according to her current statement, whether she is lying or not, she will gain nothing.

Luo Hanying could see Tongming's dissatisfaction and disappointment. She said, "Although... this doesn't affect our mutual learning, does it?"

Tongming thought that Luo Hanying had made such a firm statement that she didn't want to talk to him about anything, but he didn't expect that Luo Hanying would bring it up again now.

Tongming then said, "Of course it won't affect anything. Let me explain my famous formation to you first. Maybe after you read it, it will deepen your understanding of formations and allow you to understand the formations you have suddenly realized. That way, I can also learn a thing or two."

Luo Hanying glanced at it again and again, then stammered, "But you already said that's your signature formation, if you tell me that, then you..."

Tongming understood Luo Hanying's meaning and reassured her, "There are already solutions available outside, so you don't need to feel too much pressure."

Seeing that the two wanted to study the formation, Ruan Chayan felt that she might not be able to keep up with their train of thought even if she stayed here. She thought it would be better to study the spells in Nahai Tower, so she left the space to them.

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying have a close relationship that is obvious to all. They are inseparable and it is hard for anyone not to know about them.

Now that Tongming needed Luo Hanying's help, he took out the jade slip, hoping to do her a favor through Ruan Chayan.

Tongming handed the jade slip to Ruan Chayan: "I have heard that Junior Sister Ruan is quite knowledgeable about magic. I happen to have a fragment of a scroll that I obtained while traveling, so I will share it with you."

Ruan Chayan initially refused, but couldn't resist Tongming's earnest invitation, so she reluctantly accepted the jade slip.

"Senior Sister Tongming is so generous, but I don't know how to repay her." Ruan Chayan's mind raced, trying to recall what she could give away from her storage ring.

"I am also grateful for Junior Sister Luo's care, so you don't need to worry about it." Tongming hinted, "The competition at Yuling Peak should begin the day after tomorrow, so you should prepare in advance."

“That’s right.” Ruan Chayan knew that Tongming wanted her not to disturb them, so she took the opportunity to say goodbye.
