Rong Xing stiffly raised his arms, awkwardly turned his face to the side, revealing his ears, which were flushed slightly.
Fang Ruotang was unaware of Rong Xing's shyness. She touched his arm with both hands and even unconsciously sighed in her heart.
【It feels so good to touch!】
Gu Nancheng immediately grabbed Fang Ruotang's hand, rolled up his sleeve, and let him touch it, saying, "Touch mine, mine is smoother and softer."
Fang Ruotang was taken aback, not understanding why.
Her actions and thoughts just now were all unconscious. She didn't even realize that Gu Nancheng had bothered her. She touched him a couple of times and said soothingly, "Stop messing around. I'm asking about something important."
Then she asked again.
"So this isn't real jade?"
Cui Shixu held the jade in his hand and touched it, saying with certainty, "It is jade, but the feel is a little different. If it were really touching a person, even if Xun Zhu didn't react and only called out 'Master,' Zhuang Xinghe should have said something, but he didn't react either. This is clearly not touching them."
"It scared me to death! I thought these were all human skin! Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted, peeling them off bloody and raw."
Not only Fang Ruotang breathed a sigh of relief, but the men did too, since they didn't want to have another sworn brother.
Rong Xing, however, glanced sideways at Gu Nancheng, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Even after realizing it was a jade pendant with a unique feel, Fang Ruotang still didn't dare to reach out and take it. She was still a little traumatized. She craned her neck and asked Cui Shixu.
"Will the jade work if I put it on you?"
"I have no idea."
Cui Shixu answered honestly.
The little mirror chuckled mockingly within the seven people's consciousness.
"Sir, you overestimate them. Are they comparable to you? If they were as special as you, would six of them tied together be unable to defeat you?"
Fang Ruotang felt that Xiao Jingzi's words made some sense.
Although she didn't have the chance to fight all six of them.
But there was another kind of fighting they had, and more than once, only when they were in a mortal city, where she couldn't keep up with the men in any way, including in terms of physical strength.
After the mortal city evolved, the Heavenly Dao awakened, and it reconnected with this Cloud Deep Continent, she became acutely aware of the changes in her body.
She could handle six men tied together with her without breaking a sweat, and she didn't even pant when she was done.
On the other hand, the six of them were always lying down and unable to get up, looking completely drained.
"Here, give it to me!"
Fang Ruotang didn't reach out to catch it. Instead, she took out a purse, opened it, and gestured for Cui Shixu to throw it inside.
As long as you don't keep holding it and touching it, and keep it in your pocket or storage bag, the six men won't be petty or jealous.
Cui Shixu took the purse, stuffed the jade inside, tied it back around Fang Ruotang's waist, and patted it afterward.
"Don't you think I am the greatest treasure?" Fang Ruotang suddenly had a whimsical thought, smiling broadly.
The six men were all taken aback, and then changed the subject.
"You've always been our precious darling."
"Yes, you are the most important person to us."
"Nothing in this world is as precious as you."
...
The men chattered amongst themselves, each offering a few words, and all of them were very sweet-talking.
Fang Ruotang was very happy to be coaxed.
At this moment, Fang Ruotang completely forgot how powerful her blood was, yet it still terrified the six men.
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere here at Fang Ruotang's place.
Sect Master Zhuang and the First Elder were studying the array within the jade pendant with serious expressions. Their voices were constant as they continuously poured spiritual energy into it, trying to break the array.
But each time it would elicit a scream from Zhuang Xinghe. The couple were so concerned that they lost their composure, and despite being cultivators, their foreheads were covered in sweat.
"Xinghe, just bear with it a little longer, Mother will definitely be able to do it."
"Yes, Xinghe, don't be afraid, trust your parents."
After watching Xinghe's soul weaken once again, the couple were devastated. They couldn't believe that after studying formations for so many years, they could only watch helplessly as their son was trapped and died, unable to save him.
"Father and Mother, don't be too anxious. It's alright. If one day isn't enough, then a year will do. I won't disappear. Send me to Sect Master Fang's side. I can hold on and wait for you to figure out a way to break the formation."
"Yes, no rush! We still have a way out." Sect Master Zhuang reassured himself while also persuading his Daoist partner.
Both of them clearly lost their composure, and the son's soul was visibly weakened.
After all, this son had been lost and then found again.
The two of them were not as calm as their son.
The next day, the two brought generous gifts to Fang Ruotang's door, asking her to help take care of their son.
Fang Ruotang, thinking that it was the same whether she raised one cow or two, happily agreed.
"Thank you, Sect Master Fang. If you ever need anything in the future, our Tianyan Array Sect will never refuse and will do our utmost to help."
Although the Tianyan Array Sect is not a family of cultivators, the former sect leader was the father of the Zhuang Sect Leader, the First Elder was her Daoist partner, and the Second and Third Elders were also her father's personal disciples.
Seeing that the next generation's most outstanding disciple is her daughter, and it's likely that she will succeed the Heavenly Evolution Array Sect in the future, Sect Master Zhuang didn't need to consult with anyone before saying such things.
"Then I'll thank Sect Leader Zhuang in advance." Fang Ruotang thought that Sect Leader Zhuang was worth getting to know, and said it aloud in her heart.
[Actually, I can break this formation, but nine times out of ten it will injure the people inside. I have the formation from the jade here; I wonder if Sect Leader Zhuang would have a way to save them without harming anyone.]
Fang Ruotang's solution was to use brute force to overcome all obstacles.
Therefore, she did not intend to pull the person out directly, because it would be difficult to do so without injury, and the two souls were too fragile. If they were injured or bumped even slightly, they might be gone.
The eyes of the Sect Master and the Grand Elder lit up immediately, and they looked at Fang Ruotang with eager anticipation.
Fang Ruotang directly pulled out a tattered array diagram.
“I found this by chance. I think it’s very similar to the formation in the jade. Why don’t you take it and study it to see if you can break the formation sooner and rescue the person?”
[Actually, I have the complete one here, but this kind of formation is not a good thing. It was developed by evil cultivators, so it's best not to use it to harm people.]
However, I possess the Ten Great Ancient Formations. If our Tianyi Sect disciples excel in their studies at the Tianyan Formation Sect, I can share these formations with them.
Sect Master Zhuang and the Grand Elder stared at Fang Ruotang in astonishment, unable to believe what they had just heard.
Ancient times? The Ten Great Formations?
What is it?
Do things that are said to not exist in legends really exist?
They were suspicious, yet also convinced, of what was going on.
In particular, the broken formation that Fang Ruotang mentioned, when examined in hand, truly was the formation they had studied for a day and a night.
Many things that haven't been thoroughly researched and understood suddenly become clear at first glance.
After all, there are two completely different levels of difficulty: having a problem to solve and not having a problem to solve.
