An hour later, the grand ceremony ended. Five elite disciples led by Wu Qingce slowly walked down the high platform.

“Brother Wu is now the number one among the young disciples in Rivernorth. He’s too amazing.”

“Sigh, I’m so envious. I wonder when I’ll be as strong as Brother Wu.”

“Brother Wu’s aura is so strong... I don’t even dare to look at him directly.”

Looking at Wu Qingce, the group of Sect of Returning Hearts disciples discussed animatedly. Their tone was filled with envy and respect. However, other than these ambitious disciples, there were also many other disciples kept looking at the girl that was behind Wu Qingce. Her black hair draped over her red windbreaker, and a charming smile on her snow-white face.

That smile was like a lake full of stars, causing one’s gaze to sink deeply into it, unable to extricate themselves.

It was not until the five elite disciples completely disappeared from sight that all the disciples gradually withdrew their gazes.

However, a name had been carved in their hearts.

Order of Ink and Language – Lin Yuyan.

After leaving Lotus Peak, the five elite disciples waved goodbye and returned to their respective halls. However, Lin Yuyan stopped and looked around a few times. After confirming that there were no other disciples around, she immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the Order of Blue Heart.

She hid herself while running all the way to the entrance of Jiang Beiran’s hut. After confirming that there were no other people around, Lin Yuyan raised her hand and knocked on the door three times before quickly retreating to a small hill beside her.

A moment later, the door was not opened. She felt a little regretful. “Looks like senior has gone to patrol the mountain again.”

When she was receiving the prize on the high platform just now, Lin Yuyan was searching for Jiang Beiran in the crowd. Unfortunately, she could not find him. That was why she ran towards Jiang Bairan’s hut right after the ceremony.

“Then let’s wait for him to come back.” contemporary romance

On the other side, after Wu Qingce returned to the hall to greet his master, he also came to the hall of the Order of Blue Heart and headed straight for the back mountain.

The mountains of the Sect of Returning Hearts were all supported by a formation. Clouds and mist lingered all year round, twining around the mountainside like elegant silk.

After passing through layers of mist with ease and familiarity, Wu Qingce stopped between two oddly shaped rocks.

Taking out a jade flute from his pocket, Wu Qingce was just about to blow it when an idea popped up in his mind.

“I’ve finished studying the Four Polarity Symbols Formation that senior gave me, and I’ve also successfully set up the Thousand Antelope Gates Formation. This time... I might try it myself so that Senior Jiang can see my progress.’

After confirming his thoughts, Wu Qingce put away his jade flute and stepped into the middle of the two mountain rocks.

In an instant, Wu Qingce felt that the fog around him had become thicker, and there was a faint fragrance that made people feel dizzy.

After holding his breath, Wu Qingce warned himself that he had to calm down first.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic. First, remember the chant that senior taught you. Loosen the wrist and focus the fingers, lift the wrist up to the chest, close the eyes, and interlock the fingers. The chant is directed to the heart.”

After reciting the chant once, Wu Qingce immediately became much calmer.

“Probing Formation.”

As Wu Qingce spoke, he pinched the second section of his index finger with the thumb of his left hand.

“Wood!”

Then, his hand gesture changed. He pinched the third section of the ring finger of his right hand.

“Gold!”

In the next second, Wu Qingce’s two hands emitted different faint lights at the same time.

“Prepare, the formation, the person, the array! Six armors, nine chapters, the sky is round, the earth is square, four seasons, five elements, green, red, white, and yellow!”

After reciting the chant, Wu Qingce opened his eyes again to see that the surrounding fog had disappeared, and the scenery also showed various colors.

For example, all the rocks were yellow, all the trees were red, and all the bronze was black, and so on.

After quickly scanning the surrounding various artifacts, Wu Qingce already had an idea in his mind.

“Eight palaces big cauldron, four symbols counter-shock, the heavenly wind and silver rain formation, spirit in plants, death in scorched land, step on the seven north stars.”

Wu Qingce was delighted when he thought of this. He turned around and walked towards the southwest direction.

Just like that, he passed through several small paths consecutively. Wu Qingce became more confident as he looked at the scenery around him was kept changing.

However, the confidence and joy on Wu Qingce’s face had faded after a while. Instead, it was replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

“I should have left the formation... something must have gone wrong. Could it be the double gate array? It’s possible. Let’s walk again.”

Therefore, Wu Qingce followed the sequence from before. However, he felt dizzy halfway through this time, and the surrounding scenery gradually became unchanged.

“Sigh, I can’t figure why. Senior Jiang is too powerful.’

Wu Qingce was panting heavily. He decided not to be stubborn anymore. Just as he was thinking of how to ask his senior for help, a black shadow suddenly attacked him.

“Who is it?!” Wu Qingce shouted loudly. At the same time, the eight darts in his hand had already been thrown out.

However, the black shadow did not dodge or give way. It directly blocked the darts and slashed at him!

Wu Qingce did not expect the other party to be so reckless. He hurriedly ran away. However, the figure was not going to let him go. It chased after him and kept hacking at him.

When Wu Qingce was being chased and hacked, his breathing became increasingly hurried. He knew that he could not fight for long, so he directly took out six Fire Dragon Darts.

“Star picking hand!”

Wu Qingce threw the six Fire Dragon Darts with a special technique. They drew six perfect red arcs in the air and hit the black shadow at the same time.

However, the darts had no effect on the black shadow at all. It did not even have the intention to pause. It raised its saber and slashed at Wu Qingce!

“Ah!”

At the critical moment, Wu Qingce roared and pulled out the soft sword at his waist to meet it.

“Dang!”

The two weapons collided. Wu Qingce only felt a huge force coming down, and he knew that he was absolutely unable to resist it.

However, when the big saber struck his head, he didn’t feel any pain at all. Instead, it was a little bit bouncy.

“Hey, wake up.”

“S-senior?” Wu Qingce’s expression was almost distorted as he blinked his eyes twice. There was no more black shadow in front of him, only Senior Jiang who was wearing a long sect robe.

“You’re awake?” Jiang Beiran went over to confirm.

“I’m... I’m awake.” Wu Qingce was about to nod when he felt a heavy slap on his head.

“Didn’t I tell you to stand at the door and play the flute when you came? Why are you rushing around blindly?”

“I was wrong...” rubbing his forehead that was about to swell up, Wu Qingce quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake.

“Besides, if you knew you couldn’t get through, you should have asked for help. You insisted on forcing your way through and triggering the Eight Asura Formation. If I didn’t come quickly, you would have died here, do you understand?” As Jiang Beiran spoke, he slapped Wu Qingce on the head again.

Feeling a wave of dizziness, Wu Qingce hurriedly shouted, “Senior, stop hitting me. Stop hitting me. I’ll faint.”

“I’ll beat you to death!” Jiang Beiran said as he took out a small jade bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Wu Qingce. “Take a sip quickly. The poison is almost spreading to your internal organs.”

“Ah!?” Wu Qingce cried out in surprise. He quickly took the small jade bottle and sucked hard.

“Pa!”

There was another crisp sound. Wu Qingce touched his swollen forehead and looked at Jiang Beiran with a wronged expression.

“I said just take a sip, why did you drink so much? Have you forgotten everything I taught you in the past?”
