Two days may not seem long, but if utilized well, many meaningful things can be accomplished.
Today marks the second day of Ye Tian and others studying formations. In the Square Area Hundred Zhang meadow, four figures each held a square, and streams of Aura radiated from them, ultimately manifesting the images of the four divine beasts: Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu.
At times, Qinglong roared, its azure aura coalescing into a dragon that soared high in the sky, exuding unmatched power.
At times, Baihu howled, its blazing white light shining like the midday sun, shooting down countless claw-like Qi Blades.
Zhuque also cried out incessantly, waves of heat rolling and circulating endlessly.
Finally, Xuanwu stirred, its impenetrable turtle shell rapidly enlarging to protect everyone in the center.
At this point, the formation was taking shape, with all four symbols present!
"That's enough!" Ye Tian looked up at the sky; the Sun Shadow was slanting to the west, and the horizon was filled with red clouds.
"Ah, I didn't expect it to be this simple," Duan Liu wiped his nose, looking quite pleased with himself.
Among the four, he had the least comprehension ability and thought he would hold everyone back; however, that did not happen.
"Hehe, this is just the beginning. Although we have all four symbols ready, we are still far from truly achieving it," Ye Tian said this but was clearly very happy.
"What is the name of this formation?" Cold Moon asked with a smile on her face.
"I don't know..." Ye Tian shrugged and shook his head. It was indeed strange that they had completed the formation but did not know its name.
Hearing this, Duan Liu laughed heartily and said, "Naming is my specialty. How about we call it... The Invincible and Peerless Formation of Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu!"
"How is it? Isn't it impressive?!" Duan Liu proudly scanned everyone, waiting for their compliments.
"Tch!"
However, what he received was a collective scoff from the group.
"What kind of ridiculous name is this? It's so long, it's stupid," Cold Moon said dismissively while pondering to herself.
"How about calling it the Four Beast Formation instead?" After thinking for a while, Cold Moon exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone's expressions darkened; this name didn't seem any better than Duan Liu's. It must be said that everyone has their own talents, and Cold Moon certainly lacked talent in naming things.
"What do you think? What should we call it?" Ye Tian asked Yun'er.
"Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, Xuanwu—the four sacred beasts each guarding a direction. Why not call it the Four Sacred Formation?"
"The Four Sacred Formation..." Ye Tian pondered for a moment and said, "No, that's too grand. We probably can't live up to the name. Let's go with the Four Symbols Formation."
Aside from Ye Tian, everyone was indifferent to the name. After all, no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't come up with a name that sounded both good and imposing. The Four Symbols Formation would just have to do.
Thus, the formation ended up with a name that actually had a broader meaning than the Four Sacred Formation—Four Symbols Formation.
However, they naturally didn't know the true meaning of the Four Symbols; otherwise, they would never have chosen such an audacious name. After all, this formation was merely a Yellow Rank formation; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to comprehend its initial form so quickly.
Now that the formation was successfully learned, there was no need for everyone to be overly anxious. In fact, they weren't really nervous at all; it was just that compared to what Tian Lai had said about having more time yesterday, they felt more relaxed.
"Let's start a fire; today I'm going to show you all something!" Duan Liu said as he took out the wild chickens and rabbits he had caught earlier from the tent, ready to showcase his skills.
Moments later, the campfire blazed to life, and the wild chickens and rabbits had been properly prepared by Duan Liu, roasting over the fire until golden and glistening, making everyone's appetite surge at first glance.
Everyone praised Duan Liu, saying, "You have some skills we didn't see before."
Afterward, they drank and chatted merrily. About two hours later, they extinguished the campfire and set off toward Divine Wood County under the cover of night.
...
By the time they arrived at Divine Wood County, the sky was already brightening. Ye Tian led them to the pre-arranged location.
This was a village on the outskirts of Divine Wood County, where Ye Tian had rented a Fence Courtyard again. The courtyard was lush with flowers and plants; although it was autumn, it still thrived with life.
"What kind of flower is this? It doesn't wither in autumn?" Duan Liu asked curiously.
Ye Tian couldn't be bothered to explain and casually brushed him off before unlocking the door and letting everyone in to rest.
After their journey, everyone felt a bit tired. They rested for about three hours, and by noon, they finally woke up.
"Qiu Ziming should have arrived at Divine Wood County by now; we need to get ready," Ye Tian said as he got up first and began making arrangements.
Yun'er was designated as bait; she needed to stay in the house. Due to her similar height and build to Luo Shanshan, this important task had to be entrusted to her.
As for Duan Liu and Cold Moon, they were assigned to two concealed spots that Ye Tian had carefully arranged within the courtyard, ready to block any escape routes or catch any stragglers.
Ye Tian hid himself behind a pre-set dark wall inside the house.
With everything prepared, they just waited for Qiu Ziming to fall into their trap.
Time passed slowly, but Qiu Zhiming had yet to arrive. It was unclear whether Zhao Hongtian had miscommunicated or if he simply had no intention of coming.
However, based on Ye Tian's analysis of Qiu Zhiming, it was unlikely that he wouldn't be interested at all. Could it really be Zhao Hongtian's fault?
"I must find a way to deal with him when I get back!" Ye Tian thought angrily. After days of planning and arranging everything, if the whole situation fell apart because of Zhao Hongtian, who was supposed to be the simplest part, Ye Tian would almost go crazy.
"How should I tempt him?" Yun'er seemed to sense Ye Tian's worries and joked, "Should I take a petal bath?"
"Ha ha, go ahead and do it, right now," Ye Tian replied. Despite his worries, he wasn't feeling down since there was still time. Hearing Yun'er's joke made him start to tease her back.
"Do you want me to do it for you?" Yun'er shot him a glance.
"Are you really going to bathe for that scoundrel Qiu Zhiming?"
"Fine, I'll do it for you." With that, Yun'er began to pretend to undress. Ye Tian's eyes widened in surprise; being young and full of energy, his curiosity and desire regarding such matters were still quite strong.
"Undress..." Ye Tian knew Yun'er wouldn't actually go through with it; sure enough, her hands stopped at her collar and didn't move further.
"Undress your big head! How shameless!" Yun'er pretended to be angry and scolded him.
"Weren't you the one who wanted to undress? I didn't ask for it," Ye Tian shrugged, feigning indifference.
"If I wanted you dead, would you go die?"
"Sure," Ye Tian replied with a chuckle. "But you wouldn't want that."
"Tch, you're really... Oh! He's here!" Yun'er suddenly stopped mid-sentence and quickly lay down, covering herself with a blanket, leaving only half a leg and an arm exposed.
Ye Tian could see outside from the dark wall he was in. He looked out and indeed saw Qiu Ziming leading a group of over ten followers, walking towards the courtyard.
Qiu Ziming was dressed quite inconspicuously today, to the point that Ye Tian thought he had mistaken him at first glance.
Next to him was Guan Yangyu, as expected, but what surprised Ye Tian was another person.
Bai Kuo!
"He actually came too."
While Ye Tian was astonished, Qiu Ziming and his group had already entered the courtyard. The more than ten people, aside from Guan Yangyu and Bai Kuo, dispersed throughout the courtyard to keep watch.
"The setup is quite impressive. They've gone to such lengths and yet are dressed in hemp clothing; it's truly foolish." Ye Tian sneered inwardly. The reason Qiu Ziming wasn't dressed extravagantly was probably to conceal his identity, but he didn't consider that no ordinary person would have dozens of followers trailing behind them.
Knock, knock, knock...
Qiu Ziming tapped on the door. "Ahem, is anyone home?"
"Tch, acting all polite while intending to commit beastly acts." Ye Tian secretly scoffed.
"Miss, are you home? I’m just passing by and would like to ask for some water." Qiu Ziming continued weaving his lies. However, it must be admitted that his voice was pleasant—clear and magnetic—something most young women would find hard to resist.
"Just passing by and already knows it's a miss? Trying to fool a fool." Ye Tian continued to scoff inwardly. Qiu Ziming's lies were full of holes; there was no point in playing with such an opponent.
"Forgive my intrusion; I'm coming in." After saying this, Qiu Ziming pushed open the door.
Then Ye Tian saw Qiu Ziming walk into the inner room with a lewd smile on his face, followed closely by Bai Kuo and Guan Yangyu.
Bai Kuo's expression was calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Guan Yangyu frowned slightly, seemingly disapproving of such unscrupulous behavior, but due to being under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to come.
Once inside the inner room, Qiu Ziming was stunned. Under the Thin Veil blanket, a graceful figure was faintly visible. Although she was clothed, it only intensified his desire.
Being completely bare seemed less exciting; peeling off each layer would be much more enjoyable.
Moreover, the half-exposed calf and jade-like arm outside the blanket resembled mutton-fat jade, seemingly shimmering with a faint glow—delicate and fair, captivating to the eye and soul.
"Glug." Qiu Ziming swallowed hard and licked his lips, appearing eager.
"Bai brother, I didn't expect you to be so fortunate! Just looking at her is making it hard for me to hold back." At this moment, Qiu Ziming no longer concealed his true nature and revealed his ugly side.
Bai Kuo chuckled and said, "The skills on the bed are even better. You'll know soon enough, Second Young Master. I guarantee you'll be enchanted. Soft and elastic up top, and down below—heh heh—it's incredibly tight!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian in the dark wall nearly rushed out. Was Bai Kuo even human? Luo Shanshan had deep feelings for him, yet he treated her merely as a tool for release. Moreover, he spoke about it so casually; truly a beast!
"Is that so? Then I really must savor it. You all can leave." Qiu Ziming jabbed his palm, eager like a hungry tiger ready to pounce on its prey and ravage "Luo Shanshan."
The two nodded and exited the room. However, it was evident that Guan Yangyu and Bai Kuo were not in sync; small details revealed their discord.
"Darling, I'm here!" Qiu Ziming began to undress...
