AST 1701 - She was Betrothed to Others, Watermoon Cavern

“Senior, please say it. As long as it is within my ability, I will never decline.” Qing Shui said promptly.

“Ye`er is an unfortunate child. I hope you can treat her well,” The old woman looked at Qing Shui seriously. That statement was solemn but also did not contain any sense of strictness, so it wouldn’t cause unease.

Qing Shui felt conflicted today about kissing Qing Hanye muddle-headedly. As he arrived here, he unexpectedly decided things with Qing Hanye. Everything seemed to have been prepared well beforehand.

Qing Shui definitely knew that it wasn’t a deliberate plan with everything being such a coincidence. Most importantly, the old lady was strong enough to see his constitution in one glance. As she said, Qing Hanye and he were perfectly made for together. Under normal circumstances, any obstacles could hardly prevent it once they met. The constitution itself for both of them was the greatest temptation towards one another.

This was something unexplainable!

“Rest assured, senior. As long as I’m alive, I won’t let anything hurt Ye`er.” Qing Shui said with a straight face.

“I trust you. Although I’m already an old lady, I am still confident in my judgments. Plus, Ye`er, this girl has been thinking about you…”

“Master, what are you saying? Aren’t you afraid of me getting teased? Please don’t say that.” Qing Hanye interrupted the old lady shyly. After all, girls were sensitive.

“Alright, I’ll stop talking,” The old woman was apparently over the moon. It was pleasing to look at Qing Hanye’s dainty manner. It was rare to see her acting like this. She would only behave in this way in front of the man she liked.

“Qing Shui, can you see anything peculiar about my flowers and plants?” The old lady shifted her topic, pointing at a garden nearby.

Qing Shui smiled after looking around. In fact, he noticed the situation the moment he stepped into this place. The old lady should have been a master of formations. The display here was a formation. Furthermore, it was a layered formation.

“Eight Trigrams Orientation in all directions, blossoms towards the South. There are Gates of Life and Death. Old lady, this courtyard is a Gate of Death. Yet, there’s another unique formation inside.” Qing Shui said slowly, observing the surroundings.

“Any method to decode it?” Old lady kept smiling at Qing Shui.

“Is this supposed to be difficult?” Qing Shui’s shadow flashed at once. In a glimpse, he destroyed several plants. He moved swiftly and naturally and soon, he returned to his former position in a methodical order.

Qing Shui knew that the old lady had a slightly different thought previously. Perhaps because of him or the Nine Yang Body, or else, there would have been a battle at the moment.

Qing Shui felt that the old lady wasn’t easy to confront with his current strength. He wasn’t certain but he believed he could escape unscathed. That was only an assumption.

“Not bad. It’s surprising that you’re also a great master of formations,” Old lady was astonished.

Not many knew that Qing Shui mastered formations here. Qing Shui had never seen anyone with greater attainment in formations to date. Even the old lady’s attainments before him were child’s play in formations compared to Qing Shui’s.

“It’s not that great. I have a combination of Maze Formation and Killing Formation here. We can study it if you’re interested. It’s not bad.” Qing Shui took out a picture scroll.

“Sure, I like formations the most. Unfortunately, I’m not gifted.”
