Chu Li followed Yue Ru up to the third floor and entered a room.
His surroundings suddenly became quiet as if all sounds had disappeared and he was completely isolated from the world. He could hear his own breathing clearly.
Chu Li looked at Yue Ru in shock.
Yue Ru smiled sweetly. "This is a Sumeru Formation. It's a world of its own that is completely isolated from the outside world. As long as you stay here, the White Tiger Sect's White Tiger Soul-Tracking Technique will not be able to find you."
Chu Li asked, "Is the Tian Luo Sect proficient in formations?"
"Of course." Yue Ru smiled. "The Formation Path is also one of the cultivation methods of the Tian Luo Sect. Unfortunately, the aptitude required to study formations is too high and almost no disciples are able to learn it. However, the legacy of our ancestors still exists."
Chu Li asked, "How many formation masters are there in the Tian Luo Sect?"
"Two," Yue Ru replied. "Are you interested in formations too, Young Master Zhao?"
Chu Li nodded. "It's very magical. I want to learn it too."
"Sure." Yue Ru smiled. "Formations are different from other martial arts. It's not forbidden to teach it to outsiders. If you can learn it, it'll be your own fortune."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Isn't formation the ultimate study of your sect?"
Yue Ru shook her head. "Our sect has the Sect-Guarding Formation, but the Formation Path isn't one of them. If you want to learn the Formation Path, I can get you some books. However, the Formation Path is too profound and unpredictable. It's enough to make one's head explode, so I won't be able to study it."
"Thank you very much," Chu Li said.
Yue Ru shook her head. "Young Master Zhao, you'll feel very bored here. Time passes very slowly. It's not a bad idea to study formations to kill time."
Chu Li nodded.
Yue Ru said, "The White Tiger Sect will probably give up after a month. Young Master Zhao, you can stay here for a month."
"I won't implicate you, will I?" Chu Li asked.
Yue Ru chuckled. "We're allies with the White Tiger Sect. We'll fight the Holy Church of Light together."
Chu Li asked, "Is hiding me a personal grudge?"
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded. "Tan Jin has a blood feud with me. I have to avenge him."
Chu Li said slowly, "I'll kill him."
Yue Ru smiled sweetly. "Young Master Zhao, I'm afraid that you're no match for him with your current martial arts skills. If you want to kill him, you'll have to wait until the future."
"He's that powerful?"
"He's one of the top elders in the White Tiger Sect. He's much more powerful than Zhu Qingyou." Yue Ru pointed at a thin rope in the corner of the wall. "Pull this rope if you need anything. I'm the only one who can enter this place. No one else can."
Chu Li nodded.
Yue Ru curtsied and retreated gracefully.
Chu Li looked at the Sumeru Formation.
This formation was indeed mysterious. When he first entered, the Omniscient Mirror could not detect its existence. Now that he was in the middle of the formation, he could still use the Omniscient Mirror to observe his surroundings without any obstruction. It was like a one-way shield.
He watched as Yue Ru gracefully left the room and arrived at another room on the third floor. She entered the room and curtsied. "Master."
Sitting cross-legged on the bed in the room was a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure. She was like a ripe peach, and there wasn't a single part of her body that didn't emit an alluring aura.
She opened her eyes and glanced lazily at Yue Ru. "Has he hidden himself?"
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded obediently. "Master, why do you want to help him?"
"What do you think?" the beautiful young woman asked lazily.
Yue Ru shook her head. "I don't understand. After all, he's a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. He'll be our opponent in the future."
"The Four Major Sects have been fighting each other for so many years." The beautiful young woman said, "There's no need to worry about the sects being wiped out. It's all a battle of interests. … The Holy Church of Light is powerful because they're relying on the Li Dynasty's imperial court. The Three Major Sects are small, so they can only work together to fight against the Holy Church of Light for their own interests. However, the Three Major Sects won't be united when it comes to interests."
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded.
The Three Major Sects had their own interests. Moreover, they had different ways of doing things and philosophies, so there were conflicts between them.
The beautiful young woman said, "So don't be so stubborn. Forming an alliance means that you'll really hate the Holy Church of Light. If there's a chance to befriend them, why not?"
"Master, are you saying that he's an important figure in the Holy Church of Light?" Yue Ru frowned. "He doesn't look like one. He's more like an abandoned pawn."
She felt that Zhao Dahe was foolish and did not have a good appearance. He did not give people a good impression and did not seem like an important figure. Without the spirit of an important figure, she felt that it would be difficult for him to achieve great things.
The beautiful young woman said, "That's because you don't understand how the Holy Church of Light trains their disciples. The Holy Church of Light is extremely strict with their disciples. Compared to them, the disciples of the Tian Luo Sect are like flowers in a greenhouse."
"No matter how I look at it, he'll definitely die," Yue Ru said.
The beautiful young woman said, "The Holy Church of Light trains their disciples by putting them in a desperate situation to stimulate their potential and find the strongest disciple. This is how they train their disciples. As for whether they die or not, it all depends on their luck. The Holy Church of Light won't save them."
"How cruel." Yue Ru curled her red lips disapprovingly. "How many disciples will die? How can they be loyal!"
"Instead of dying in the future, it's better to die early. The Holy Church of Light is ruthless!" The beautiful young woman scoffed. "However, this method gives us a chance to befriend the disciple of the Holy Church of Light. He'll provide timely help when he's in trouble. In the future, when he becomes an important figure in the Holy Church of Light, the Holy Church of Light's attitude toward the Tian Luo Sect will be affected."
"Master, do you really think that Zhao Dahe will become an important figure in the Holy Church of Light?"
"My premonition is very accurate. He'll be a powerful figure. Treat him well," the beautiful young woman said. "Befriend him and you'll benefit greatly in the future."
"Yes, thank you, Master." Yue Ru nodded. "He wants to study formations."
The beautiful young woman scoffed and said, "Give him an introductory book on formations. Let's see how capable he is."
She waved her hand as she spoke.
"Yes." Yue Ru agreed and curtsied before she left.
As soon as she closed the door, the room disappeared from Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror. He could not see it anymore. It was obvious that this beautiful young woman's room was also protected by a formation.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and retracted the Omniscient Mirror. Just as he had expected, Miss Yue Ru had not fallen in love with him at first sight or simply wanted to avenge herself. Instead, she had been ordered by her Master to save him.
Yue Ru's Master was planning to burn the midnight oil stove and bet on him. She had a good eye!
Soon, Yue Ru returned with a few yellow silk books and placed them on the study table. She smiled sweetly and said, "These are the introductory books on formations. Why don't you take a look at them first, Young Master Zhao? If you're able to understand them, you can read more about formations."
"Alright, thank you, Miss Yue Ru." Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Yue Ru smiled sweetly and said, "If Young Master Zhao can master formations, you'll have a higher chance of defeating Tan Jin."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
