Chapter 214 Negotiation

Master Luo couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he found several formation masters in Tongxian City and gave some instructions. Then he went to Qian's house and found Master Qian.

"I have told them all that they are not allowed to embarrass Mo Hua again in the future, and it is best not to argue with the demon hunters."

Master Qian frowned, "Master Luo, you..."

Master Luo asked back: "Brother Qian, what are your plans?"

"You mean ink painting?"

"good."

Master Qian was slightly startled and said: "I originally wanted to make good friends with him. It would be best if he could serve my Qian family. If that doesn't work, I hope he can stay out of the matter and not help each other. If that doesn't work, then there is no other choice. It's ruthless. Once you take action, life and death are beyond my control."

Master Qian told Master Luo his advice to Qian Hong.

Master Luo sneered, "But Qian Hong took action directly and wanted to kill Mo Hua."

Master Qian was stunned for a moment, then sighed:

"He is the head of the family, there is nothing I can do about it."

The affairs of the Qian family can naturally only be decided by the head of the family. Although he is an formation master and an elder with a high status, he cannot influence the head of the family's decision.

Master Luo's eyes narrowed, "Then have you considered a way out?"

"A way out?"

"If the Qian family always goes smoothly, I can naturally be your moneymaker and elder. But if the Qian family collapses, where will you go?"

Master Qian was dissatisfied, "Master, what you said is wrong. The Qian family has been entrenched in Tongxian City for many years, how can it be possible for them to fall at the drop of a hat?"

Master Luo drank tea and said nothing.

Master Qian thought about it carefully and felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his attitude and said softly:

"I am the elder of the Qian family and the formation master of the family. I receive preferential treatment from the clan and it is not allowed for me to do things that go against the interests of the clan."

Master Luo prompted: "You are an array master, so the family gives you preferential treatment. If you were not an array master, would the Qian family treat you preferentially?"

Master Qian's heart trembled.

He had known this for a long time, but since he was in a high position, he had never thought about it carefully.

Master Qian has come into contact with various monks in the Qian family, including those who look after the home and the courtyard, some who serve tea and water, and some who bow down to serve.

These are all disciples of the Qian family, so why have they ever received preferential treatment?

If he were not an formation master, he might not be any better than them.

The family treated him preferentially because he was an array master, not because he was a disciple of the Qian family. The reason for everything he has gained now is because he is an formation master.

Master Luo further said: "If you are an array master, no matter how weak the Qian family is, you will still receive preferential treatment. If you are not an array master, no matter how strong the Qian family is, you may not be blessed."

Master Qian was silent for a moment and whispered: "Master Luo, please make it clear."

Master Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the most important thing about an array master?"

Master Qian thought deeply for a moment and said, "Is it family and inheritance?"

Master Luo looked disappointed, sighed, and pointed at the table:

"It's a formation!"

"Array masters should study formations and seek higher attainments in formations. If you were a second-grade formation master, would you still care about these little things during the Qi refining period?"

Master Qian hesitated, "But the formation is not that easy to learn..."

Of course he knows that formations are important, but without family support and formation inheritance, how can he learn formations?

Master Luo glanced at him and said:

"You are already considered a first-grade formation master. You don't need to rely too much on your family. The Qian family doesn't have any higher inheritance in formations. What you need to do now is to find a way to go further in formations."

"Master Luo's words make sense, but how can we go further?" Master Qian said.

Master Luo did not answer clearly.

Master Qian thought about the words before and after, suddenly realized, and said slowly: "Ink painting?"

Master Luo nodded.

"But what does this have to do with ink painting?" Master Qian wondered.

Master Luo was silent for a long time, then sighed deeply and said reluctantly:

"I am ashamed of Mo Hua's formation level."

Master Qian opened his eyes wide, "Are you kidding me?"

Master Luo looked unhappy.

Only then did Master Qian realize that he had made a mistake. The formation master was arrogant and no one would make such a joke.

"But...but how is this possible? How old is he?" Master Qian couldn't believe it.

"No matter how old he is, the facts are the facts. The world of cultivation is vast and there are countless amazing geniuses. You and I have limited experience, so it is normal that we have never encountered them."

Master Luo paused for a moment and then said: "And the younger he is, the greater his prospects, and his future achievements in formations will be more limitless."

Master Qian frowned and felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but snorted and said coldly:

"Even if he can become a second-grade formation master in the future, I don't want to curry favor with him and do such a disrespectful thing!"

"You are stupid!" Master Luo cursed in a low voice, "Who made you look up to others? What you have to do is to cultivate good karma. In the future, for the sake of kindness, he can give you some advice on the formation."

"The formation is not afraid of hardship, but it is afraid of taking the wrong path. If he becomes a high-quality formation master, one or two sentences will be enough to make you clear the clouds and avoid many detours."

"You are still fawning? You are so old, you have a wrinkled face, and you are not a pretty little girl. Why do others think you are so fawning?"

Master Qian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Master Luo said was reasonable.

The first-level formation master of Tongxian City has reached the top, and it will be difficult to move any higher.

With neither inheritance nor guidance from a second-grade formation master, he is now confused about many higher-level formations and has no way to start.

If Mo Hua can really go further and become a second-grade formation master, a few words of advice from a high-level perspective will be worth his ten years of hard study.

As for face, Master Luo doesn't care, so what does he care about?

Compared with the great way of formation, these things are insignificant.

"But..." Master Qian worried, "The Qian family wants to kill him, and I am the formation master of the Qian family. What if he is vindictive and holds a grudge against me?"

"Don't worry." Master Luo said, "I have seen Mo Hua. This child has a very good character and behavior, and he is sensible. As long as you don't provoke him, he won't vent his anger on you."

Master Luo has lived for more than a hundred years, and he always has a good eye for people.

Master Qian nodded, then frowned and said, "Then what should I do?"

He couldn't just betray the Qian family...

"Do nothing."

Master Qian was stunned, "Do nothing?"

"Stay out of the Qian family's dispute and don't make things difficult for Mo Hua. Prepare some more gifts, and I'll give them to him on your behalf. Explain the whole story, and he won't blame you." Master Luo said.

Master Qian thought for a long time, and was relieved: "This is the best, then Master Luo will be there."

This way, he has the best of both worlds, and he doesn't have to be in a dilemma.

The next day he went to find Qian Hong. Although he didn't say it clearly, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Qian Hong for not listening to his advice and sending people to kill Mo Hua without authorization, which made him a deep enemy.

Qian Hong was unhappy, and the two of them didn't get along, and finally parted unhappily.

Qian Hong couldn't go to Master Qian to do things again, but at the same time he didn't dare to offend him too much.

Master Qian was an elder and was about to become a first-class formation master. He had a lot of say in the clan.

If he pushed Master Qian too far and made him form an alliance with other elders, then it would be difficult for him to keep his position as the head of the family.

At present, there is only Master Qian who can become a first-class formation master in the Qian family, but there are many people who can become the head of the Qian family, far more than just Qian Hong.

Master Qian also took advantage of this incident to gradually distance himself from Qian Hong.
