While the outside world had been turned upside down by a single video, the Lin Family Manor remained as peaceful as ever.
Lin Yuan lay sprawled on all fours across the priceless Exotic Beast hide sofa in the living room.
His eyes were half-closed as he enjoyed life.
Beside him, a beautiful, slender personal maid carefully peeled a crystalline Purple Jade Grape brimming with spiritual energy, then gently fed it to his lips.
"Mm..."
Lin Yuan smacked his lips in satisfaction.
Now this was living!
Fighting and killing?
Didn't exist.
Competing for fame and profit?
Too exhausting.
Lying down was still the most comfortable.
Just as he enjoyed this rare peace and prepared to take another nap.
A burst of hurried footsteps drew nearer from afar.
"Brother! Brother! I'm here!"
Her voice arrived before she did.
A pink petite figure bounced into the room like a happy little rabbit.
It was none other than his genius Formation Master Sister, Lin Ke'er.
Ever since Lin Yuan had casually pointed out several fatal flaws in the Nine Bends Dragon Trapping Array she had been so proud of, Lin Ke'er had completely transformed into his number-one fangirl, pestering him every day to seek advice on all sorts of profound formation questions.
Looking at Lin Yuan's sister, who had rushed to his side and was blinking those watery big eyes at him with a face full of thirst for knowledge, Lin Yuan felt his head swell.
Annoying!
Far too annoying!
This Young Master only wants to lie down in peace. Who wants to discuss formations with you?
"Brother, tell me more! I still can't quite understand the substitution theory for Space Nodes..."
Lin Ke'er clung to his arm, shaking it incessantly as she coquettishly pleaded.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Lin Yuan sat up impatiently.
He knew that if he did not send this little girl away, his peaceful afternoon would be completely ruined.
His mind turned, and he suddenly thought of a cultivation method the system had rewarded him with a few days ago.
Heavenly Cycle Star Dipper Array · Fragment!
Though it was only a fragment of an Ancient Formation, its complexity and profundity surpassed the Nine Bends Dragon Trapping Array Lin Ke'er had been studying by more than a hundred levels!
I've got it!
A barely noticeable wicked smile curled across Lin Yuan's lips.
He cleared his throat and said in a deliberately profound tone, "Ahem, Ke'er, that Nine Bends Dragon Trapping Array is too childish. There's no point studying it all day."
"Ah?" Lin Ke'er froze, her little lips pouting slightly. "That's an Earth Grade High Rank formation! How is it child’s play?"
"I recently happened to acquire a fragment of an Ancient Formation. I find it rather interesting."
Lin Yuan spoke slowly, deliberately whetting her appetite.
"An Ancient Formation?!"
Lin Ke'er's eyes instantly lit up like two brilliant stars.
As a Formation Fanatic, those four words held a fatal allure for her!
"What is it? What is it? Hurry and let me see!"
She urged him impatiently.
"Hmm..." Lin Yuan pretended to ponder. "This formation is called the Heavenly Cycle Star Dipper Array. It's somewhat profound. For you right now, perhaps... it's still a little too early. I'm afraid it might damage your confidence, so you should just study that Dragon Trapping Array of yours first."
A provocation!
Simple, but effective!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lin Ke'er's little face immediately flushed red, and she defiantly puffed out her small chest.
"Brother, you're underestimating me! I'm a Formation Master genius seen only once in a century! There isn't a formation that I, Lin Ke'er, can't figure out! Hand it over!"
"Fine, fine, since you insist."
Lin Yuan spread his hands, wearing an expression that said, You insisted on seeing it, so don't blame me, then casually transmitted the fragment's information directly into Lin Ke'er's mind through Divine Sense.
Buzz—!
An incomparably vast, intricate, and mysterious torrent of information instantly flooded Lin Ke'er's Consciousness Sea.
Just a tiny formation foundation rune at the beginning contained tens of thousands of variations and involved countless profound laws concerning space, time, Stellar Power, and more!
Lin Ke'er froze completely.
The focus vanished from her beautiful big eyes in an instant, her small mouth opened into an "O," and it was as though her soul had been ripped away, turning her into a statue.
A Full minute passed.
Only then did she suddenly come back to her senses.
Immediately afterward, she let out a shriek more excited than ever before!
"A... a miracle! This is the true formation of the gods!"
Without sparing Lin Yuan another glance, she turned and charged toward her private Formation Laboratory, running as she shouted like a madwoman:
"No! I have to figure it out! No one is allowed to disturb me!"
Watching his Sister's "qi deviation" retreating figure, Lin Yuan lay back down in satisfaction.
Done!
By his estimation, with this girl's skill level, it would be absolutely impossible for her to grasp even a little of this fragment without ten days to half a month.
At last, the world was quiet.
However, that thought had not even lasted three seconds.
The crisp sound of high heels striking the floor approached from afar.
His business Iron Lady sister, Lin Mengyao, walked over with her arms crossed and a queenly stride.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Lin Mengyao circled the sofa once, looking down at him with a teasing smile at the corner of her lips.
"Our young master is quite the celebrity in the capital now. He can even reach number one on the trending searches just by sleeping at school."
She waved the Optical Computer in her hand. On its screen was a video of Lin Yuan making Huangfu Zhuo kneel with One Glance Kneel.
"Care to explain how you scared that arrogant genius from the Huangfu Family so badly with just one look that he pissed himself?"
Lin Yuan could not even be bothered to lift his eyelids. He accepted another Spirit Fruit from the maid and slowly chewed it.
"Explain what? There's Nothingness to explain."
He swallowed the fruit flesh and said in a matter-of-fact, indifferent tone:
"He was just too trash. Couldn't handle being scared."
Lin Mengyao was choked by his shamelessly boastful answer, caught between laughter and tears.
Lin Yuan paused, seeming to think of something, then added:
"If the Huangfu Family's younger generation are all like this."
"Then I'd say the Huangfu Family isn't far from being finished."
