Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

"Is there a problem?"

The old man shook his head and said, "That's not the important issue right now. Let's go to the Hidden Array Pavilion at the summit and see what's going on with the Turbulent Wave Array!"

Lu Yang had anticipated his master's response and added, "Of course, but Master, I strongly suggest you go and see the little devil that Junior Sisters Jin Lulu and Yang Rong caught!"

"Their ghost-catching attempt didn't go smoothly that day. I went to the scene and saw it. Although the little sea ghost wasn't particularly ferocious, a powerful person had intervened to help it on the day it was captured!"

"A master?"

Upon hearing Lu Yang utter those two words, his master sneered and asked, "How tall are you? How do you compare to your master?"

"More than you should—"

Lu Yang almost blurted it out, but he immediately thought of his master's personality and hurriedly changed his words, saying, "I suppose you and your master each have your own strengths."

Lu Yang understands his master, and his master also understands Lu Yang.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words and seeing his expression, the old man immediately understood that in his disciple's eyes, he, as the master, was no longer worthy of respect.

What master would want to be seen as inferior to others in their disciple's eyes?

He didn't say anything, but the arrogance in his eyes became more and more obvious.

In his view, if there really was such a powerful person backing him up, how could the sea ghost have been captured by his own academy disciples?

Since they were captured, it means that the mastermind behind that sea monster wasn't "masterful" enough.

Suddenly, the old man said thoughtfully, "I just remembered, Jin Lulu and Yang Rong are injured? And they seem to be seriously injured?"

"Although they are not my disciples, your Uncle Changyun and I are not only fellow disciples but also close friends of many years. His disciples were seriously injured. You should seek justice for them, both morally and logically."

"We can't just stand by and do nothing when our esteemed academy disciples have all their bones shattered. That would make people think our academy is easy to bully."

Lu Yang: "..."

"Master, let's go check on the Turbulent Wave Formation first."

The old man nodded and said, "That makes sense. Didn't you say there was something wrong with the ghosts your two junior sisters captured?"

"Then tomorrow we'll have your Uncle Changhong from Tianzhao Peak come with us to see who's backing that little sea demon!"

"By the way, I heard that your assessment at the Special Administration Bureau didn't go very well?"

"Yes, the assessment team is still unwilling to assess me."

"Hmph! Those people in the Special Administration Bureau are blind! If it's really not that easy, then don't even think about it. Staying at the academy and being a chosen one is just fine."

Lu Yang said in a low voice, "Master, for people like us, money is just a number now."

"Shouldn't the pursuit be to join the Special Administration Bureau, do more for more people, and realize greater value in life?"

The master gave a cold laugh and said disdainfully, "You've only made a little money and you're already saying things like that?"

Lu Yang was taken aback. "Master, how much have you earned this time?"

His master's expression changed slightly, and he said, "How can I remember that clearly? Let's walk and stop talking!"

The master and apprentice continued their ascent to the summit along the stone steps of the mountain path.

Not far along, Lu Yang's master, who had been walking forward, stopped, turned around, looked at him, and said with a serious expression, "Lu Yang, you are the most outstanding disciple of my academy in recent decades."

How did the academy treat you?

Lu Yang felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He had heard his master ask him this question many times before.

He also knew how to answer in a way that would satisfy his master.

"Master, the academy has been incredibly kind to me. In my life, the people who have shown me the deepest gratitude are my parents, followed by the academy."

As he said this, Lu Yang suddenly thought of the refined young man in the Lingwa shop thousands of miles away.

He casually stroked his wrist inside the sleeve of his antique-style long robe, where three small red ropes were tied.

Hearing Lu Yang's answer, the old man's face showed a satisfied smile: "Lu Yang, I know you have a very good character, otherwise I wouldn't have broken the academy's rules so many times to teach you things that ordinary disciples can't learn."

"Even if you successfully join the Special Administration Bureau in the future, don't forget that Qichuan Academy is your foundation."

Lu Yang nodded: "Of course!"

At this moment, a glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and he suddenly asked Lu Yang a question he had never asked before: "So, if the academy is in trouble, Lu Yang, what will you do?"

As Lu Yang listened to the lingering echo of his master's words, he felt the mountain wind whistling past on the Hidden Array Peak path gradually becoming colder.

......

Hidden Array Peak, Hidden Array Pavilion.

For the academy, Cangzhen Peak is similar to a "scripture repository," where the source diagrams of the twenty-eight arrays passed down by Qichuan Academy are enshrined.

Every year, outstanding disciples of the academy are allowed to enter the Hidden Formation Peak to study. Now, the Twenty-Eight Formations, the Wave-Turning Formation, has run into trouble, and several of the most respected "elder" generation "teachers" in the academy have gathered at the Hidden Formation Pavilion.

Buddhist temples have monks, Taoist temples have Taoist priests, and academies have teachers.

There are spirit mediums in Lingmen.

When Lu Yang and his master Changfeng arrived at the main hall of the Hidden Array Pavilion, a large number of people had already gathered inside.

They were all senior teachers of the same generation as Master Lu Yang, and their most outstanding disciples.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, almost everyone else, whether teachers or disciples, looked at him with envy and jealousy.

The teachers envied Changfeng for having such an outstanding disciple as Lu Yang, while the disciples envied Lu Yang's exceptional talent and superior treatment at the academy.

Upon seeing Changfeng and Luyang arrive, the master of the Hidden Array Pavilion came out to assign tasks to everyone.

Even though the disciples who are here at this time are all extraordinary, most of them can only do odd jobs.

Only a handful of people, represented by Lu Yang, were truly able to enter the core of the Hidden Array Pavilion and participate in the work of reviving the depleted array spirits.

Under the guidance of Master Zangzhenge, Lu Yang's master Changfeng and several other senior masters took their seats in different directions.

In front of everyone was a model of a sand table, which was about three or four hundred square meters in size.

The sand table shows a formation made of star iron as array stones.

Upon seeing this formation, Lu Yang was filled with shock and couldn't utter a single word.

The formation before us is the source diagram of the Turbulent Waves Formation.

Lu Yang had witnessed this formation under normal circumstances before; back then, even before getting close, one could hear the sound of surging waves emanating from within it.

Getting closer, it feels like facing the ocean directly, as if you are in the deep sea.

However, today, the feeling that this surging wave of the source image gave Lu Yang was...

The sea seems dead.

......

Zhongzhou, Yundu Road, Lingwa Shop.

Yang Ning sat behind his desk, watching the drizzling autumn rain outside, waiting for guests to arrive, yawning and lost in thought.

Suddenly, he laughed.

Yang Ning placed a wooden plaque, broken in two and bearing the words "Fan Lang" (翻浪, meaning "Overturning Waves"), on the table and said with a smile, "Let me see..."

"Does the spiritual energy of heaven and earth obey your academy teachers, or does it obey me, the spirit medium?"
