"I didn't let you down. Your performance today really impressed me."

Feng Qiyan imitated Feng Cailan, put her hands behind her back, and looked at Hua Qingcheng with a serious and gratified look of an elder looking at a younger person, nodding as she spoke.

"Congratulations on passing the first level. Now you can enter the hall." Feng Qiyan turned sideways and made an inviting gesture towards Hua Qingcheng.

"Thank you!"

Hua Qingcheng glanced behind her at where Nalan Yunzhi and Feng Cailan were standing, then strode into the hall without a trace of guilt for bullying a child. Just kidding, that wasn't just any kid. With the agility Feng Qiyan had just displayed, she'd be qualified to be a special police officer in modern times.

Hua Qingcheng walked straight ahead and reached the entrance to the hall. She saw a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the hall, dressed in the royal blue, first-rank imperial robes of a noble husband. He was handsome and righteous, bearing a passing resemblance to Feng Qiyan. It seemed he must be General Feng Cailan's husband, and Feng Qiyan's father, Yu Jingyang.

Just as Hua Qingcheng stretched out a foot and was about to step into the hall door, she suddenly retracted it.

"Five Elements Bagua Formation?"

Hua Qingcheng's lips twitched slightly at this. She hadn't expected the General's Mansion to prepare her for the exam to include a task related to breaking formations. Fortunately, she had actually learned this from a master in her time.

This Five Elements Bagua formation is a sophisticated formation derived from Tai Chi imagery, arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Bagua directions and the principles of the Five Elements. This formation includes powerful formations such as Group of Heroes, Long Snake, Crouching Dragon, and Ten-Sided Ambush.

"Tai Chi gives birth to two opposites, two opposites give birth to four symbols, four symbols give birth to eight trigrams..." Hua Qingcheng recited the formula and walked according to a specific pace. In less than half a cup of tea, she arrived in front of Yu Jingyang.

"Hua Qingcheng greets Master Yu!"

Not only did Hua Qingcheng's movements in breaking the formation flow smoothly, but her manners in bowing to Yu Jingyang were also very dignified.

"Good, very good. Congratulations on passing!"

Yu Jingyang in the hall couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw that this woman was not only beautiful, but also knew the formation of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

Chengfeng's vision was truly good. It seemed that his mother's wish to persuade Hua Qingcheng to give up was likely to fail...
