Upon hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, Xu Qiuyuan was taken aback even further.

“Are you familiar with this formation?”

Xu Qiuyuan exclaimed in disbelief, “It can’t be! My father once told me that this is his exclusive secret formation, known only to a select few. And yet, you’ve recognized it at a glance?”

“It seems my father has deceived me once again,” Xu Qiuyuan said with a helpless expression. “I was actually planning to boast about this third-tier spirit formation to you, but you’ve seen through it in an instant.”

At this moment, Ye Wushuang stepped forward and gazed at the core of the formation, murmuring, “Perhaps your father hasn’t lied to you after all. In the entire Qingyun Empire, there probably aren’t more than ten people who can recognize this formation!”

“Even this you can identify?” Xu Qiuyuan said in amazement. “Ye Wushuang, your alchemy skills are already unparalleled, and it seems your knowledge of formations is equally profound. Is it possible that your craftsmanship is also invincible?”

Ignoring these remarks, Ye Wushuang said, “Xu Qiuyuan, if you want me to take over this mansion, have your father come and see me.”

“Huh?”

Xu Qiuyuan was stunned. Ye Wushuang had just agreed to take it, so why was he changing his mind now?

“Now, immediately!” Ye Wushuang insisted.

“Now? Immediately?”

Xu Qiuyuan was bewildered.

Why was Ye Wushuang in such a hurry?

“Brother Ye… my father… he’s very busy. Even if I ask him to come, he might not,” Xu Qiuyuan replied hesitantly.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Wushuang waved his hand, and dozens of spirit patterns coalesced into a formation hub, which he handed to Xu Qiuyuan. “Keep this small formation hub safe and show it to your father. I believe he will come to see me.”

Xu Qiuyuan, taken aback, said, “I’ll give it a try.”

As Xu Qiuyuan left, Ye Wushuang called over Qing Shiyu, Xiao Yuan, and Ye Feifei.

“Qing Shiyu, could you please take my sister and Xiao Yuan back to the Qingyun Pavilion?”

“No problem, but remember to teach me swordsmanship,” Qing Shiyu replied.

“Deal!”

Ye Feifei sensed that her brother seemed a bit off and tugged at Ye Wushuang’s sleeve, saying, “Brother, if you don’t want to owe them a favor, we don’t have to take the mansion. It’s okay.”

Ye Wushuang bent down and pinched his sister’s cheek affectionately, smiling, “Don’t worry, I’m taking this mansion. It will be our new home from now on.”

“Really?”

“When have I ever lied to you?” Ye Wushuang smiled. “Go back and tell Mother and Uncle San to pack up. We’ll be moving in soon.”

“Okay!”

Ye Feifei was overjoyed.

Turning to Xiao Yuan, Ye Wushuang said, “Send Uncle He over here.”

“Sure.”

As the three left, Ye Wushuang went to the pavilion in the backyard, where he looked at the formation hub on the table. His expression was momentarily vacant, his eyes filled with a mix of anticipation, nervousness, and unease.

At the same time, on the other side, Xu Qiuyuan returned to the headquarters of the Dark Soul Hall within the capital.

“Qiuyuan, what’s the rush?” a figure appeared in front of Xu Qiuyuan as he entered the spacious hall.

“Uncle Lei!”

Seeing the burly middle-aged man before him, Xu Qiuyuan immediately asked, “Where’s my father?”

This man was none other than Lei Chengtian, the renowned third hall master of the Dark Soul Hall.

Lei Chengtian chuckled, “Your father is discussing matters with Uncle Wang…”

However, just as Lei Chengtian finished speaking, two figures arrived from the side of the hall.

“What do you want?” one of them asked.

One of the two was Xu Wenyuan, the hall master in a black robe, and the other was a man who appeared somewhat gaunt, with half his face covered and eyes that glowed with a pale light, as if he were blind.

“Uncle Wang!”

“Dad!”

Seeing all three of them present, Xu Qiuyuan immediately flipped his palm and said, “Today, I met Ye Wushuang and gave him the mansion. He accepted it, but when he saw the protective formation inside, he insisted on meeting you, or he wouldn’t take it.”

“I told him you were busy and might not come to see him, but he condensed this small formation hub and asked me to bring it to you, saying that if you saw it, you would definitely come to meet him… Dad, what is this small formation hub? I…”

At that moment, as Xu Wenyuan looked at the small formation in his son’s hand, his eyes suddenly brightened, his pupils dilated, and his body began to tremble. He slowly grasped his son’s hand…
