Master Wei Jian Played Matchmaker at Random, Qin Siyu Spread a False Romance Rumor

"Fold...?"

Although Lin Yu's words were not easy for Qin Siyu to understand and left her somewhat confused at first, she eventually came to understand what Qin Siyu Lin Yu meant.

"You mean to say that the original 'Palace,' or rather the largest building in this Royal Palace, has been hidden by Formation, senior?"

Qin Siyu asked tentatively.

Although she understood what Lin Yu meant, the matter was still too unbelievable for Qin Siyu, so she was still somewhat uncertain.

Master Wei Jian was standing nearby, also realized what was happening.

"Folding... How is that possible? I've never heard of Formation with such an effect—if it can truly distort the size of a building at will, wouldn't that mean it can shrink the earth to an inch and conceal the sun in the sky? This... how could this Formation be 'permitted' by the Heavenly Dao?"

Upon hearing Master Wei Jian's words, Lin Yu softly replied, "Because this is the 'Heavenly Dao Array Formation'."

As he spoke...

Lin Yu unleashed a burst of power from his palm, blasting the small door in front of him open!

After the wooden door of the four-cornered building was shaken open, what appeared before Qin Siyu and Master Wei Jian was a somewhat "incomprehensible" scene.

Behind the door appeared a narrow passageway—this passageway did not go up or down, but extended straight forward, stretching far beyond the depth of the house as seen from the outside.

And...

A closer look reveals that the passageway seems to widen as you go further in—at the end of the passageway, it appears to connect to some extremely open space.

"There really is such a... Formation!"

Master Wei Jian stared in disbelief, muttering to himself.

Qin Siyu patted Master Wei Jian on the shoulder. "Master, although you are very skilled in Artifact Forging, you are more of a specialist in Formation... Speaking of which, is it safe here?"

Qin Siyu looked at Lin Yu and asked.

Lin Yu nodded. "Of course, I can sense the flow of this Formation perfectly clearly, there shouldn't be any danger involved, just follow me."

With that, Lin Yu stepped into the passageway.

As he stepped into the passageway, Lin Yu extinguished and put away the [Fear Torch].

After all, once he stepped inside, the candlesticks on both sides of the passageway automatically lit up, emitting a light much brighter than ordinary Candle.

By the light, Lin Yu also noticed that the walls and floor of the passageway were extremely smooth, almost so smooth that no seams could be seen.

He led Qin Siyu and Master Wei Jian forward, and the passageway indeed became wider and wider as they moved forward.

At the same time...

As more and more candlesticks lit up, Lin Yu was able to glimpse the space at the end of the passageway.

Calling it the "end" isn't entirely accurate...

Because in the end, the passageway, like a funnel, blends seamlessly into the open space behind it.

The enormous space, about a hundred meters high, was nearly as large as a natural cave, but the smooth, meticulously polished dome-shaped rock walls, resembling an inverted porcelain bowl, revealed that it must have been carved out by human hands.

In this vast and expansive space, at the very center stands a magnificent pyramid-shaped Palace, surrounded by water on all sides and encircled by a U-shaped waterway. Only a narrow stone slab pontoon bridge, wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side, leads to the Palace.

Both the Palace and the surrounding expansive waters, like the unfolded parts of the Royal Palace outside, are a heavy, deep black.

In the dark waters, iron Lotus Candle emerged from the surface, their light, along with the bright spots at the top of the rocky dome, illuminating the entire space.

Although no wind vents could be seen on the surrounding rock walls, a kind of "whistling" sound of wind echoed in the space.

Qin Siyu looked up at the dome that seemed to hang high in the sky, gazing at the countless points of light that resembled stars. She opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed, "Truly magnificent..."

Master Wei Jian nodded in agreement. "Indeed magnificent. I wonder how the craftsmen of the ancient capital of Great Rui managed to create it. Such a large cave wall has been polished so meticulously. It must have been a very large project—thousands of skilled craftsmen working together here... It's truly an unimaginable sight."

Upon hearing Master Wei Jian's words, Qin Siyu scratched her head. "Uh, really? I wasn't speaking from a craftsmanship perspective..."

Master Wei Jian with some curiosity, "From what perspective did you start?"

Qin Siyu said rather embarrassedly, "I was just thinking, those 'starlight'-like lights overhead, hazy yet not dissipating, a soft, bright yellow—if I'm not mistaken, they should all be luminous pearls from Liuyue Mountain... And the fact that they can still illuminate from this distance means each one is at least the size of a human head—how much money would that cost!"

Qin Siyu expressed a rather simple sentiment.

Lin Yu, standing to the side, sighed, "I knew it."

Master Wei Jian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Young lady, you're right, it does cost quite a bit of money."

Then, Master Wei Jian stepped forward, looked at Lin Yu, and asked, "Young hero, our goal... should be to enter that Royal Palace over there that resembles a tower, right?"

He pointed into the distance, towards the black building in the middle of the water—from afar, it looked more like a majestic mountain than a Palace.

Lin Yu nodded. "That's right, Master. Based on my perception... that place is both the convergence point of the Earth Vein and the final destination of all the Formation, so—no matter what, we must go there and take a look."

As Lin Yu spoke, Master Wei Jian cupped his hands in greeting. "Very well, since the young hero has already taken the first step, let this old man scout ahead."

Before Lin Yu could speak, Master Wei Jian had already stepped onto the stone slab pontoon bridge.

Looking at the old man who resolutely took the lead, Qin Siyu praised, "What a noble spirit you possess, Master!"

Master Wei Jian laughed and said, "We can't let the young hero do everything by himself. Since the young hero saved my life, I should do something in return."

"Since we're traveling together, we should divide the work and help each other."

Lin Yu nodded. "Master is right... When we enter that Palace later, you should go first."

As he spoke, Lin Yu looked at Qin Siyu.

Upon hearing this, Qin Siyu immediately suppressed her admiration for Master Wei Jian and pointed to herself in confusion. "Eh? Senior, me?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, there are three people in total. Master Wei Jian and I each took the lead once, so it's your turn now."

Qin Siyu blinked, looked at Lin Yu, and after seeing that Lin Yu's expression remained serious and calm, she said, "Senior... are you joking?"

Looking at Qin Siyu's expression, Lin Yu finally laughed and shook his head, "Of course I was joking. If I let you go first and something happens, I'll have to save you. What benefit could I possibly get?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu stepped onto the stone slab floating bridge.

"Let's go, Heroine."

As Lin Yu spoke, Qin Siyu's face lit up with joy, and she quickly followed up, "I knew you wouldn't make me do something so dangerous, senior."

Hearing their conversation, Master Wei Jian was walking ahead, turned around. "Young hero, your relationship with this girl... is better than I imagined. Are you two fellow Senior Brother?"

Before Lin Yu could answer, Qin Siyu said, "Master, you're old and hard of hearing. I've been calling him 'senior' the whole way. If we were Senior Brother, why would we address each other like that?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Actually, we haven't known each other for very long."

Master Wei Jian stroked his beard. "Then... young hero, are you engaged?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Of course not."

Qin Siyu said with great interest, "Oh, Master, you have a daughter and granddaughter of marriageable age, right? I know, that's how it's always portrayed in stories—you're planning to act as a matchmaker for your senior to repay his life-saving grace!"

Master Wei Jian smiled and said, "I do intend to act as a matchmaker... but I'm not talking about my own children. I've dedicated my life to casting Artifact Forging, and I have no children, let alone grandchildren. I only have two apprentices, neither of whom are married and both are men, so there's nothing for them to introduce."

Master Wei Jian paused for a moment, then continued, "Young lady, you just said that your teachers have also passed away, so I was thinking... if you're willing, I can be your teacher and make decisions for you..."

When Master Wei Jian finished speaking, Qin Siyu and Lin Yu both realized what was going on.

Lin Yu sighed helplessly, "Master, we've only known each other for three or four days... I don't have any plans for these romantic feelings right now..."

Master Wei Jian laughed, "Three or four days is enough—I think the girl is quite fond of you. I saw how concerned she was when you were injured."

Master Wei Jian added, "Besides, that's how it's always said in storybooks—don't waste the chance to meet along the way!"

Master Wei Jian spoke, Lin Yu felt helpless.

It's surprising that this master, at his advanced age, is also addicted to reading storybooks.

These storybooks and comic books from the Prison Mountain Realm are truly poisonous; how can they not guide people towards goodness?

Therefore, Lin Yu looked at Qin Siyu, signaling her Qin Siyu also quickly refuse.

Qin Siyu immediately retorted righteously, "Master, please don't speak nonsense. Senior is focused on slaying demons and monsters and has no time to start a family—besides, although Senior saved me, I have already repaid your kindness in my own way."

Just as Lin Yu was about to agree with Qin Siyu, he heard Qin Siyu say something else.

"Back in Martial Town, I already shared a room with you, senior... Ouch!"

Are you out of your mind?

Lin Yu kicked Qin Siyu in the butt, almost sending the little girl flying off the stone slab bridge.

Thanks to Qin Siyu's excellent lightness skill, she flipped over and landed back on the stone slab.

Lin Yu looked at Qin Siyu, who was clutching her bottom with a wronged expression, and Master Wei Jian, who was dumbfounded, and then said, rubbing his forehead.

"Sleeping in the same room doesn't mean you're sharing a room—weren't you sleeping on the floor?!"

"Besides, we weren't even asleep when we were attacked by Yaomo... It hardly qualifies as sharing a room!"
