Chapter 214 Negotiation

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

"I've told them all that they are not allowed to embarrass Mo Hua anymore. It's better 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 Mo Hua?"

"Yes."

Master Qian was slightly startled and said, "I originally wanted to make friends with him. It would be best if he could work for my Qian family. If that doesn't work, I hope he can stay out of it and not help either side. If that still doesn't work, then I can only be ruthless. Once the fight starts, life and death are determined by fate, and it's not something I can control."

Master Qian told Master Luo about his advice to Qian Hong.

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

Master Qian was stunned, then sighed:

"He is the head of the family, I can't do anything."

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

Master Luo's eyes fixed, "Then have you considered the way out?"

"Way out?"

"If the Qian family has been smooth sailing, you can naturally continue to be the elder of your Qian family, but if the Qian family falls, where will you go?"

Master Qian was unhappy, "Master, this is wrong. The Qian family has been entrenched in Tongxian City for many years. How can it fall just like that?"

Master Luo drank tea and didn't say anything.

Master Qian thought about it carefully, and his heart sank. He lowered his attitude and said softly:

"I am the elder of the Qian family and also the formation master of the family. I am favored by the clan and it is not good to do things that go against the interests of the clan."

Master Luo pointed out: "You are a formation master, so the family favors you. If you are not a formation master, will the Qian family favor you?"

Master Qian's heart trembled.

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

Master Qian had come into contact with various cultivators of the Qian family, some guarding the house, some serving tea and water, and some bowing to serve.

These are also disciples of the Qian family, how could they have been treated preferentially?

If I were not a formation master, I might not be much better than them.

The family favored him because he was a formation master, not because he was a disciple of the Qian family. Everything he has now is because he is a formation master.

Master Luo further said: "If you are a formation master, no matter how weak the Qian family is, you will be treated preferentially. If you are not a formation master, no matter how strong the Qian family is, it may not bless you."

Master Qian was silent for a moment, and whispered: "Please tell me, Master Luo."

Master Luo raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is the most important thing for a formation master?"

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

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

"It's the formation!"

"A formation master should study the formation and seek higher attainments in the formation. If you are a second-grade formation master, would you still care about these trivial matters in the Qi Refining Period?"

Master Qian hesitated, "But this formation is not so easy to learn..."

Of course he knew that the formation was important, but without family support and formation inheritance, how could he learn the formation?

Master Luo glanced at him and said:

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

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

Master Luo did not answer directly.

Master Qian thought about the previous and subsequent words together, and suddenly realized, and slowly said: "Mo Hua?"

Master Luo nodded.

"But what does this have to do with Mo Hua?" Master Qian was puzzled.

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

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

Master Qian opened his eyes wide, "You are not kidding, are you?"

Master Luo looked unfriendly.

Master Qian realized that he had spoken out of turn. Formation masters are 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.

"Don't care how old he is, the fact is the fact. The cultivation world is vast, and there are countless brilliant geniuses. You and I have limited experience, so it's normal that we haven't met any."

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

Master Qian frowned, feeling a little awkward in his heart, and 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 thing of relying on others!"

"You are stupid!" Master Luo cursed in a low voice, "Who asked you to rely on others? What you have to do is to make as many good connections as possible, so that he can give you a few pointers on formation in the future for the sake of kindness."

"Formation is not afraid of hardship, but afraid of taking the wrong path. If he becomes a high-grade formation master, one or two words will be enough for you to see the light and avoid many detours."

"Still fawning? You are so old, with wrinkles all over your face, and you are not a pretty girl, how can others fawn on you?"

Master Qian felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but after thinking carefully, he felt that what Master Luo said made sense.

The first-grade array master in Tongxian City has reached the top, and it is difficult to go any further.

Without inheritance and guidance from second-grade array masters, he is confused about many higher-level arrays and has no idea where to start.

If Mo Hua can really go further and become a second-grade array master, then a few words of guidance from a high-level strategist will be worth his ten years of hard study like a headless fly.

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

Compared with the great way of arrays, these things are simply 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, frowned and said, "Then what should I do?"

He can'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 will 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 breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best, then Master Luo will be there."

This way, he can get 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 did not 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 led to a deep hatred.

Qian Hong was unhappy, and the two did not get along well, and finally parted unhappily.

Qian Hong could not go to Master Qian to do things again, but at the same time he did not 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 hard and made Master Qian form an alliance with other elders, then his position as the head of the family would be difficult to sit on.

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

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