He seems to have noticed me... Should I just run away?

and many more......

Why do I feel my sadness being stirred up, and why is it getting sadder and sadder...? I think of the helplessness I felt when Master Jiekong kicked me out of the temple, and my mother...

That's not right.

Isn't the Twelve Labors Formation a unique ability belonging to me?

......

Lu Mingfei frowned as he stared at the back of the tall but thin Taoist priest.

He scratched his head, puzzled.

Something's not right. This time, the force used was much stronger than when it was used on Xu Si. Logically, he should be wailing and crying.

Within the Twelve Labors Formation, he can control the emotions of everyone within the formation. Depending on the amount of Qi used and the duration of manipulating emotions, he can destroy a person from within.

He only encountered one situation that he couldn't control using the Twelve Labors Emotions Array—Feng Baobao. He had a hard time capturing Feng Baobao's emotions; in fact, he couldn't.

Could this person in front of me be another Feng Baobao?

Thinking of this, he intensified his efforts to stir up his sorrowful emotions once again.

Even so, Daoist Gao remained unmoved.

Something's not right. Twelve out of ten things are not right.

It seems like... I've encountered the real person. What should I do? I'm a little panicked.

"Oh my god~" The person standing next to the tall Taoist priest pouted, squinted, and knelt down with a thud. Tears instantly streamed from the corners of his eyes like a continuous stream, and then he burst into loud sobs.

"Oh no, I used too much force and now I've affected innocent bystanders." Lu Mingfei quickly dispersed the Twelve Labors Formation, glanced at the people affected, and returned to where Gao Daoren was, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Mingfei breathed a long sigh of relief.

If Lei Yanpao Gao Ning doesn't run, he will.

However, he quickly realized that he was using a precise single-point attack within a certain range, not a barrage of fire, so there would be no cascading effect.

The person crying for their mother was a tactic Gao Ning used to distract her.

Lu Mingfei wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead, turned around, and headed towards Xu Si's location.

......

"You mean, Hu Jie is a puppet of Shen Chong, the root of all evil in Quanxing? And he might even have killed his own father?" Xu Si asked.

There were only a few people in the room, including the Old Celestial Master, Tian Jinzhong, Lu Jin, and Na Dutong.

Liu Yanyan nodded. "That's right. Although I'm not good at fighting, I have other talents. Dealing with corpses all year round allows me to easily distinguish their scent. Hu Jie has the scent of a corpse I controlled back then. Even if he's burned to ashes, I won't forget it..."

“This Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is a place for young extraordinary individuals to compete. The Quanxing people really dare to come,” Lu Jin said. “I’ll have those brats bring Hu Jie here right now.”

"Old Lu, don't worry..." the old master said.

"Aren't you worried? They've gone so far as to bully you, how can you not be worried?" Lu Jin said, standing up for the old master.

dong dong.

Zhang Chulan opened the door, and Lu Mingfei walked in, bowing to each of the elders.

“I’ve encountered a new situation. I’ve run into Gao Ning, one of the Four Madmen,” Lu Mingfei said.

“Even this kid is here, so the others from the Four Madmen must be here too. It seems that Quanxing is determined to cause trouble at the Celestial Master’s Mansion. Old Celestial Master, the people from Quanxing are already standing on your neck and peeing…” Lu Jin joked.

The old master, with a stern face, asked seriously, "Xu Si, where did this young man Lu learn the Golden Light Mantra from?"

Taking advantage of Lu Mingfei and Xu Si's presence, he asked directly.

They didn't ask Lu Mingfei, after all, he was a junior and could very well be instigated by someone like Xu Si.

Xu Si pointed at Zhang Chulan, who had just become the Grandmaster's grandfather and was thus forging a closer relationship with the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Zhang Chulan taught me!"

Xu Si decisively betrayed his teammates.

Zhang Chulan's lips twitched, his eyebrows furrowed, and his head tilted slightly, his face showing utter confusion.

“That’s right, it was Brother Lan who taught me!” Lu Mingfei decisively added insult to injury.

When Zhang Chulan turned his head towards Lu Mingfei, he felt like an owl, his head able to turn 180 degrees.

He had an expression that said, "Oh, right."

The old Celestial Master's aged skin was deeply wrinkled, and he hadn't shown any emotional fluctuations for many years. This was the first time he had done so. He had just recognized a grandson, and the grandson had already revealed the Golden Light Mantra.

He looked up and saw Zhang Chulan, who had been completely sold off, looking bewildered and helpless.

He let out a deep sigh.

"Xu Si, his relationship with Chu Lan..."

Xu Si kicked Lu Mingfei in the leg, causing the unsuspecting Lu Mingfei to fall to his knees, facing the Old Master.

“This is a friend’s child. He has no parents and was deliberately oppressed by his uncle and aunt for more than ten years. He couldn’t take it anymore and ran away. Luckily, he met me, otherwise he might have starved to death. I took pity on him and took him in.”

Xu Si first played the victim card, then said:

“Since he has learned the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master’s Mansion, he is now a member of the Celestial Master’s Mansion. Quickly, Mingfei, kowtow and call him Master.”

"Master, Master..." Lu Mingfei hadn't even realized what was going on when he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Alright, forget about the Golden Light Mantra, and skip the mountain gate ceremony too. Is he the only one who knows it?" the old master asked.

Xu Si looked at Lu Mingfei and replied affirmatively, "He is the only one who knows the Golden Light Mantra."

Lu Jin's gaze swept back and forth between the group, taking in the expressions on their faces. They were trying hard to suppress their laughter, which caused their bodies to tremble.

"That's good." The old master breathed a sigh of relief, then thought for a moment that something seemed amiss.

He asked suspiciously.

"Did Lei Fa learn it too?"

You can start learning from Chapter 41 onwards (please continue reading).

The thunder magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion has always been used only by the Celestial Master. Thunder magic is only taught when a successor needs to be trained, which means that the person will be the next Celestial Master.

Decades ago, there were two successors who could use thunder magic. One of them left the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, causing bloodshed and chaos in the world of supernatural beings, which continues to have an impact on the present day, decades later.

The cause and effect from decades ago continues to this day without being severed.

The old Celestial Master never expected that he would face the same situation as his master, having to choose between two successors to the Celestial Master position. In the end, he made up his mind to uphold his master's original decision.

This matter of cause and effect has been settled.

Unexpectedly, another unexpected event occurred: a person of unknown origin appeared who seemed to possess the thunder magic of Longhu Mountain.

He waited quietly for Lu Mingfei to give him an answer.

Tian Jinzhong remained silent, turning to look at the old Celestial Master's serious expression. He didn't speak, understanding that this was a matter of great concern to the old Celestial Master, a matter that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

Although Lu Jin occasionally teased the old master, he suppressed his impending burst of laughter under the old master's serious expression and reverted to his usual image as a serious, handsome old man in a suit.

He calmly straightened his slightly shifted suit jacket and sat gracefully in the solid wood chair.

Even Xu San and Xu Si remained silent, quietly waiting for Lu Mingfei's response.

The serious and quiet environment of the room made Lu Mingfei's thoughts explode like a bucket of cold water being poured into hot oil.

Have I learned it or not?

Did I actually learn it or not?

It's only been a little over ten days since I came into this world. I didn't have time to learn any thunder magic. I just copied the Golden Light Mantra and casually learned the Qi Transformation Technique and the Twelve Labors Formation from Zhang Lingyu.

A group of people were acting like they were interrogating me, which made me a little uneasy.

"Uh..." Lu Mingfei swallowed, momentarily at a loss for words in such a serious situation. "That..."

How can I explain that I have absolutely no skill in using Thunder Magic?

He answered cautiously and hesitantly:

"I don't know how now... but I can learn later?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know if his answer was acceptable, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered a trick: when asked if he knew it, he answered that he could learn it later, and it just came out naturally.

He even cautiously glanced up at the old master, whose face was gloomy, like a primary school student facing a teacher after making a mistake.

"Pfft! Hahaha..." Lu Jin burst into laughter, the sound loud and long, not at all like the voice of an old man. He covered his stomach with one hand and slapped the table with the other.

“In the future… you can learn…” Lu Jin repeated, laughing again, and increased the force of his hand slapping the table, causing tiny cracks to appear on the solid wood table with each slap.

Lu Jin's loud laughter echoed in the room.

It was accompanied by the sound of him complaining as he took a breath.

“They treat the things they've treasured at home like they're part of an extracurricular class.”

The thunder magic, passed down only between masters and disciples since the founding of his own sect, was the ability to protect the sect. However, Lu Mingfei spoke of it somewhat casually.

Tian Jinzhong felt that his senior brother might have one more thing on his mind.

After Lu Jin's comment, the old master's already serious face became somewhat gloomy, his brows furrowed tightly, and his expression filled with deep doubt, as if he did not understand what Lu Mingfei meant by "you can learn it later".

Still with questions...

If he doesn't teach, what will the other person learn from?

"Old Lu, you're getting on in years, aren't you afraid you won't be able to catch your breath?" The old master glanced at Lu Jin with displeasure and retorted.

After being rebuked by the old master, Lu Jin gradually suppressed his unrestrained laughter, coughed a few times, and forcibly stopped laughing.

Lu Mingfei, lying on the ground, was still in a daze. He didn't realize how far things had developed. Could it be that he had said something wrong?

It doesn't look like it at all. The old master wasn't angry, and even Lu Jin was amused.

"Well..." Xu Si noticed that the old master's expression was off. He could only see deep worry in his expression, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking. So he quickly spoke up.

“Mingfei isn’t very good at speaking, please forgive him, Celestial Master. This kid doesn’t know any thunder magic, he only knows the Golden Light Spell.”

"His ability is copying. He can copy other people's abilities and use them himself. When Chu Lan was practicing the Golden Light Mantra, he copied it over."
