Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 117 "Justified"

A few days later.

Although the Lan family tried their best but failed to invite Li Ye out, they had corresponding solutions if he did not come, so the apprenticeship ceremony was naturally held as scheduled.

"Master, please have some tea!"

Lan Ming looked solemn as he knelt down and served tea to Tu Zhiyong.

Tu Zhiyong took a sip of the tea, then took out the jade slip he had prepared and handed it to Lan Ming.

"This is the notes on formations that I have summarized. Take it back and study it carefully. If you have any questions, come and ask me..."

"Thank you, Master!"

Lan Ming's face lit up with joy, and he immediately kowtowed to Tu Zhiyong with the jade slip in his hand.

In this way, the relationship between master and disciple is established.

Many people who came to watch the ceremony expressed their congratulations, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Their attitude towards the Lan family, which had already improved greatly, became even more enthusiastic as this relationship was established.

Li Ye has been suppressed and isolated by Pingyang Mountain. Among the Red Mountains, only Tu Zhiyong is a famous formation master, and he has the support of the Tu family.

Being able to establish such a close relationship with him, the Lan family suddenly became different...

If the alliance is willing to help them take back Changcui Mountain, there will be more benefits to exchange.

Faced with this change which was almost a reversal of their treatment over the past year or so, the group of old men from the Lan family were grinning from ear to ear.

They all looked excited, as if they could live another ten years for the bright future of their family.

Although Lan Xinyi had some distance between herself and her brother, tears welled up in her eyes when she saw him. Seeing that no one was noticing, she wiped them away gently without leaving a trace.

But Tu Zhiyong seemed not to understand the current atmosphere, and spoke coldly,
"Although we have established a master-disciple relationship today, if you fail to master the art of formations within the time limit I give you, don't blame me for expelling you!"

"After all...people who are too useless are not worthy of being my disciples!"

As soon as these words came out, the warm atmosphere froze. Lan Ming, who was about to stand up, also froze in his tracks and bowed again.
"Disciple must study hard and live up to Master's expectations!"

"Um……"

Tu Zhiyong nodded, and looked outside the door with a happy expression.

"I didn't expect to be a step late..."

Xie Yushu stepped into the doorway, holding his folding fan, and said with a smile,

"I heard that Master Diagram Array has gained a talented disciple. Xie has come to congratulate you on behalf of the Alliance Leader!"

As he waved his hand, Yao Hong, who was following beside him, presented him with the gift box.

"Are you Lan Ming?"

Xie Yushu looked at Lan Ming and immediately nodded in praise, "Really good!"

Then he looked at the group of Lan family elders and said, "I heard that your Lan family can only use a low-level spiritual vein to maintain their cultivation on their own mountain... Isn't this going to hinder Brother Tu's disciples' cultivation progress?"

"If you have any grievances, you can report them to the alliance. The leader will certainly make a decision for you!"

For such a long time, the alliance had never shown any intention to interfere with the fact that Li Ye and Lan Xinyi had signed a contract to occupy the first-level spiritual vein of Changcui Mountain for their own use.

Even in the many summons in the past, it was clear that he had recognized Li Ye's leadership of Changcui Mountain!
But today, four years later, when representatives from so many factions gathered together, he suddenly brought up this matter, and it seemed as if he wanted to make the decision for the Lan family.

How can this be an attempt to make decisions for the Lan family? It's obvious that they want to use this name to take down Li Ye!

Lan Xinyi's expression changed slightly. However, the old man from the Lan family was ecstatic!

Lan Ming showed some hesitation on his face, but he gritted his teeth and knelt heavily on the ground, bowed to Tu and Xie respectively, and said in a hoarse voice,
"Thank you, Alliance Leader, for your understanding! Changcui Mountain is the foundation of our Lan family, but now that Li Ye has deceived my sister, he has set up a formation and occupied it for years. No one from our Lan family can even enter... Master and Alliance Leader Xie, please help our Lan family!"

"This is happening!"

Xie Yushu was surprised and suddenly angry. "Such behavior is simply outrageous. Don't worry, nephew Lan Ming. I will report this matter to the leader of the alliance and make the decision for your Lan family!"

"I didn't expect Li Ye to be so domineering..."

Tu Zhiyong snorted coldly, "Don't worry, disciple. I will definitely break his formation and take Changcui Mountain back for your Lan family!"

The three of them sang in unison and directly accused Li Ye of occupying Changcui Mountain.

In this way, if we attack them again, it will be justified, and no one can say anything wrong about Pingyang Mountain!

"Thank you, Vice Alliance Leader, for your wisdom. Our Lan family is eternally grateful!"

Several old men and Lan Ming bowed deeply with tears in their eyes.

Lan Xinyi was mixed in with them, and was surprised that she knew nothing about it. At the same time, she had to follow their actions and did not dare to say anything about the truth.

Everyone knows that if it weren't for Li Ye, all the Lan family siblings would have died outside, and Changcui Mountain would never have been recaptured...

But since Xie Yushu wanted to redefine the matter, no matter what she said, it would be useless!

Lan Xinyi couldn't hide the bewilderment on her face. It wasn't until now that she understood why Li Ye had reacted that way when she had advised him...

This Pingyang Mountain... No! Perhaps it was Xu Pingyang himself, who had probably already had murderous intentions towards him...

Naturally, no matter what he did, as long as he didn't leave these barren mountains and land, he would not be able to escape the final disaster!

Originally, Li Ye could barely protect himself by defending the Changcui Mountain formation and not falling. Now with this pretext, even if Pingyang Mountain and Tu Zhi jointly attack the formation, it would be justified and not against morality at all!
Everyone present felt a chill in their backs watching this scene. What virtue or ability did Li Ye have to deserve Pingyang Mountain targeting him like this?
Is it because he was determined not to participate in the battle of Dengyunfang City?
Or... is it simply because he displeased the leader?
This is a bit too exaggerated!
But no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
"Okay! Vice Leader Gao Yi!"

"Brother Tu, the deep bond between master and disciple truly moved us!"

"I never thought that Li Ye would be such a despicable person who took over my position. We must not let him continue to act so recklessly!"

"If there's anything we can do to help, please let me know!"

All kinds of praise, good words and promises came out of this group of people one after another, making Xie Yushu nod with satisfaction.

But in his heart he still felt regretful.

If we can trick Li Ye into coming to watch the ceremony this time, we can also convict him and take him down right away.

But now, they are going to attack the formation under the pretext of retaking the mountain gate from the Lan family...

Lian Tuzhi can use the essence of the second-order formation to construct a quasi-second-order formation.

Considering Li Ye's mastery of formation techniques, which allowed them to easily break the market formation with just a diagram, I'm afraid the formation he set up in Changcui Mountain might be of the second level...

If this is true, Tu Zhiyong will definitely not be able to break the formation, and Xu Pingyang will most likely have to take action himself.

It would be fine if we could successfully break the formation and kill him, but if we fail to do so, my reputation will be ruined!

Thinking of this, Xie Yushu couldn't help but think of the foundation-building cultivator who was invited by Xu Pingyang to help, but took advantage of Xu Pingyang's serious injury to occupy the second-level spiritual vein of Dengjin Mountain.

Either way, they're already inviting a wolf into the house. Perhaps it would be better to accommodate Li Ye, who doesn't have big ambitions but has great potential...

But it didn't matter what he thought about Xu Pingyang's order, he could only carry it out obediently!
