Chapter 146 – Li Zixuan's Request!

Time flowed like water.

Several more days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Library, Lounge Area 1.

“Master, could the Array Formation layout here be slightly adjusted?” Li Qinghe pointed at the Array Diagrams on the draft paper and asked softly, “This disciple doesn’t quite understand the circuit arrangement.”

“What’s so difficult about this?” Qin Yang, holding Xiaobai in his arms while completing patterns on the Myriad Formation Diagram, offered brief guidance. “Think about the layout of your Li Family’s Fuhai Villa Complex – doesn’t it share similar principles?”

“Hmm… the residential area layout?” Li Qinghe frowned slightly upon hearing this. Following Qin Yang’s guidance, she recalled the villa complex’s arrangement and suddenly had an epiphany, as if clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

Understanding one principle unravels countless puzzles. She lightly tapped her forehead and exclaimed in realization, “Could it be that our family’s property layout is actually a natural grand formation?”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Yang with hopeful expectation, awaiting his explanation.

During these workdays, she had been constantly seeking Qin Yang’s advice and had gained tremendously, with her Array Formation expertise advancing by leaps and bounds. This progress had even helped complete many missing parts of the Myriad Formation Diagram.

It could be said she had benefited immensely.

While her Array Formation skills advanced rapidly, she genuinely admired Qin Yang from the bottom of her heart, and calling him “Master” came more naturally with each passing day.

“You want to know?” Qin Yang glanced at her expectant expression.

“Yes! I want to know, Master!” Li Qinghe nodded excitedly.

“Then keep thinking about it first.” Qin Yang sneered, immediately playing the enigmatic mentor. “Your current Array Formation understanding is still too elementary, far from adequate. Knowing now would be useless anyway!”

“???”

Li Qinghe’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, feeling utterly speechless inside.

Teasing someone without following through… Are you leaving me hanging here?!

“Tsk, I’m getting a bit thirsty.” Qin Yang leaned back against the chair and suddenly remarked.

“I’ll get it! Master, don’t move!” Li Qinghe, receiving the signal, immediately sprang up and rushed to the vending machine in the corner.

Within moments,

a large assortment of drinks appeared on the table – colorful and dazzling to the eye.

“Which one would you like? I’ll open it for you!” Li Qinghe rested her hand on the bottle caps while closely watching Qin Yang’s expression. But the next moment, Qin Yang didn’t speak, simply reaching out to take a bottle of mineral water and gulping it down noisily.

Then he stretched contentedly.

“Another signal!”

Seizing the opportunity, Li Qinghe quickly moved behind Qin Yang and began gently massaging his shoulders, flattering, “Master, is the pressure appropriate? I can go lighter.”

Her tone was exceptionally soft and gentle, like a delicate bird.

“Barely acceptable.” Qin Yang yawned, glancing at the fawning Li Qinghe, feeling completely relaxed.

Over these past few days, Li Qinghe had fully transformed into an “adulating fox” – thoroughly trained and completely different from the willful, spoiled young mistress she used to be.

“Good, very good.” Qin Yang was quite satisfied.

At that moment,

Xiaobai lifted her head from beside the table, squinting at Qin Yang’s expression before observing Li Qinghe’s ingratiating actions. The more she watched, the more familiar it seemed.

Massaging legs and shoulders, serving tea and snacks…

Wasn’t this…

This Fairy’s signature approach?!

Huh?

This wicked woman is actually copying me?!

“Aow!”

Xiaobai jumped up immediately, climbing onto Qin Yang’s arm and winding her way up to his neck. She bared her teeth at Li Qinghe in warning, flashing her snow-white fangs.

Declaring sovereignty.

Seeing this, Li Qinghe was instantly startled and quickly retreated backward.”Master, what’s wrong with your little fox?”

She trembled as she extended her hand, pointing at the baring-teeth Xiaobai, “She’s so fierce! Why does she act like a food-guarding dog?”

As the words fell.

Xiaobai wrinkled her nose and barked even more fiercely, her frantic growl immediately drawing sidelong glances from many people.

But right now she didn’t care about that, so angry she just wanted to bite Li Qinghe’s finger.

“How dare you call this Fairy a dog? How outrageous!”Clearly you’re the one who’s the sycophant!”

This Fairy will bite you to death!

The next moment.

She extended her short fox legs, leaped high, and was about to pounce on Li Qinghe.

But before she could bite Li Qinghe, she suddenly felt her tail tighten.

“Ying.”

A tremendous force pulled her back.

Qin Yang grabbed the fluffy tip of Xiaobai’s tail and dragged her back into his embrace.

“Stop causing trouble.”

Qin Yang scolded, pressing down Xiaobai’s squirming head and holding her in his arms, then cast an apologetic look toward Li Qinghe.

With the current Star Pet unrest, if he really let this silly fox bite someone, he estimated the Star Martial Police Department would come knocking tomorrow to check the records…

“So fierce, Master, truly frightening.”

Li Qinghe stared at the wriggling Xiaobai in Qin Yang’s arms, feeling the hostile gaze, and patted her chest with lingering fear, “This dog… fox seems to be guarding food?”

“Lacks discipline, my apologies. Let me set up another Array Formation for you.”

As Qin Yang spoke, just as he was about to pick up the draft papers, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye another graceful figure approaching him from the doorway.

It was Li Zixuan.

Currently, her face was full of worry, clearly troubled by something. After scanning the hall’s environment and spotting Qin Yang, she came directly over.

“Oh, why has Zixuan-mei come?”

Li Qinghe was surprised to see this and immediately went to greet her. Noticing the worry on her face, she asked concerned, “Are you alright, Zixuan? Why do you look so pale?”

“Sister Qinghe…”

Li Zixuan frowned, stepped past her, slowly came to the table, gathered the draft papers on the table, and turned back to say, “I have something to discuss with Senior Brother. Could you please step away for a moment?”

“Have me leave?”

Li Qinghe was taken aback upon hearing this, just about to open her mouth to ask further.

“Hmm? Shimei is here,”

Qin Yang immediately picked up Li Zixuan’s words, saying leisurely, “In that case, you may withdraw for now. Your Martial Aunt has matters to discuss with your master.”

As the words fell.

Li Zixuan directly shoved the draft papers from the table into Li Qinghe’s arms.

“???”

A series of blows left Li Qinghe speechless, looking down at the draft papers in her arms.

No way…

Have I really become the junior?

With no say at all, completely just a disciple’s position in the sect!

Seeing Li Qinghe frozen, Qin Yang frowned and said sternly, “What? Not even listening to your master’s words now?”

As soon as the words were spoken.

Li Qinghe’s nose inexplicably felt a bit sour.

Fine, fine! If you don’t want me to listen, then I won’t! I… this young lady doesn’t care to listen anyway!

Thinking this, she pouted, turned around with a pitiful expression, and ran off…

“Sigh…”

Li Zixuan watched Li Qinghe’s retreating figure and sighed inwardly, “Indeed, the only one who can tame Li Qinghe is Senior Brother…”

Just her willful temperament alone was famous within the family, yet now she was completely docile in Qin Yang’s hands.

“Ahem, speak, Shimei.”

Qin Yang stroked Xiaobai’s head, “What matter brings you to find me? And you specifically avoided your cousin?”

“Well…”Li Zixuan lowered her gaze, restlessly staring at her knees with a hesitant expression. She spoke with uncertainty, “There’s something I’d like to ask of you, Senior Brother.”

“Go ahead.”

Qin Yang nodded, “If it’s within my ability to help, I’ll naturally do my best.”

“Alright.”

Li Zixuan fixed her eyes on Qin Yang and said hesitantly, “Senior Brother, are you able to contact our teacher right now? I’d like to see him.”
