At that moment, Xu Qi Yuan seemed to realize his abruptness and immediately clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect, saying, “I am Xu Qi Yuan. My words were presumptuous, and I apologize. I hope Master Ye will forgive me!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression softened significantly.
Only then did Xu Qi Yuan continue, “I heard from Hall Master Mo Xuan that a genius in the art of spirit arrays has emerged in Liu Yue City. I happened to be passing through and came specifically to witness this for myself. I sincerely wish to learn from Master Ye and hope you will not hesitate to share your knowledge!”
Meanwhile, Mo Xuan, standing beside Xu Qi Yuan, appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was utterly astounded. Xu Qi Yuan was a true first-class spirit array master, yet he had used the word “learn” just from observing Ye Wushuang’s array construction. Could Ye Wushuang’s mastery of spirit arrays truly be that profound?
Ye Wushuang, looking into Xu Qi Yuan’s sincere eyes, finally spoke: “The Yuanwu Five-Element Array is a sealing array, while the Minor Thunder Spirit Array is an offensive one. Since you are a first-class spirit array master, you should know that there are seven array patterns within these two arrays that share a commonality…”
Xu Qi Yuan immediately replied, “I understand that, but merely seven common array patterns are not enough to eliminate the mutual repulsion between the two spirit arrays.”
“Repulsion is not absolute,” Ye Wushuang explained. “As long as the arrays are not completely incompatible, like yin and yang or fire and water, there is always a way to find resonance. By seizing the opportunity and finding the right moment, one can use the array patterns to their advantage during the construction of the array, merging them according to their own will.”
Ye Wushuang spoke eloquently, even occasionally condensing spirit patterns to illustrate his points, which earned frequent nods of agreement from Xu Qi Yuan. Their discussion lasted for over an hour.
During this time, Xu Qi Yuan couldn’t help but ask Ye Wushuang numerous questions about ordinary arrays and first-class spirit arrays. Ye Wushuang answered every question in detail. It wasn’t that Ye Wushuang enjoyed being a teacher; rather, as a former Emperor in his past life, he had his own pride. In the face of Xu Qi Yuan’s sincere inquiries, Ye Wushuang treated him more like a younger generation to be guided.
After a long while, Xu Qi Yuan looked at Ye Wushuang, his eyes transformed and gleaming with admiration. Ye Wushuang, however, remained extremely calm, though inwardly he thought to himself, “I’m not interested in men!”
“Master Ye!” Xu Qi Yuan clasped his hands together again and said sincerely, “If Master Ye does not disdain me, I, Xu Qi Yuan, would be honored to become sworn brothers with you!”
These words left Mo Xuan and Mo Xiao stunned in their tracks. Sworn brothers? Xu Qi Yuan, being the son of a hall master from the Dark Soul Hall and a first-class spirit array master at the age of nineteen, was proposing to become sworn brothers with Ye Wushuang?
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow and waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Not interested.”
Becoming brothers with him? Xu Qi Yuan simply wasn’t qualified.
At that moment, Xu Qi Yuan gritted his teeth, seemingly making up his mind, and with a thud, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, “If Master Ye does not disdain me, I, Xu Qi Yuan, sincerely wish to become your disciple!”
Mo Xuan and Mo Xiao were left speechless, as if turned to stone. Becoming a disciple! This was a monumental matter! After listening to Ye Wushuang’s hour-long discourse on spirit arrays, Xu Qi Yuan wanted to become his disciple? It was simply too astonishing.
However, neither Mo Xuan nor Mo Xiao knew what Xu Qi Yuan was thinking at that moment. Growing up in the Dark Soul Hall, Xu Qi Yuan had received excellent education, even being personally tutored by second-class and third-class spirit array masters. But after years of learning about spirit arrays, he realized that none of it compared to what Ye Wushuang had shared in just that one hour. Every word was profound and insightful, revealing the true essence of spirit arrays. This was not something a mere spirit array master could possibly know. Ye Wushuang was no ordinary person. Becoming his disciple would be an invaluable opportunity.
But at this moment, seeing Xu Qi Yuan kneel down and offer to become his disciple, Ye Wushuang’s frown deepened even more…
