Chapter 19

Yun Xie opened one of Lonely Peak's many windows, making his way into the back of the house.

"Prove! I have nothing to prove!" That was the first thing he heard, as an angry feminine voice rang through the small adobe.

"Welp." Yun Xie walked into the main room, where an angry Li Shuangyan was confronting Li Qi Ye.

Yun Xie casually walked over and sat down, producing a few cups of tea and looking at the two expectantly.

Li Qi Ye turned and looked down at the nonchalant figure sipping tea. Li Shuangyan also looked, sort of surprised. She had not sensed him at all…..

"Tea? Anyone?" Yun Xie drank from his porcelain cup, trying to lighten the mood somewhat.

A few Minutes Later….

Yun Xie had somehow gotten Li Shuangyan and Li QI Ye to sit down and drink some tea. He had also taken out some biscuits and crackers, which Li Qi Ye tried.

"Quite good." Li QI Ye commented through the silent room.

"Yup. I baked them myself…." Yun Xie exclaimed proudly. He had, after all….

In his previous life, Yun Xie's parents owned a small bakery in the countryside.

The biscuits were a specialty of his, topped with sugar and an apple butter dip.

Li Shuangyan also decided to try one, for some reason, positively delighted. It was, surprisingly good from such a lax, seemingly laidback person.

She had not eaten anything in a long time, being a cultivator….

Maybe she herself should pick up baking too…

After all… The path of cultivation is long… Without a little interest or hobby, what is the point?

"Dang…. So I heard you got downgraded to a maid. Sucks for you really…. " Yun Xie idly started a conversation, dipping a biscuit in the apple butter.

"Yes, this ungrateful lot did." Li Shuangyan's mood turned sour once again when Yun Xie once again brought up the topic.

"Well….. Li Qi Ye is an unbearable arrogant annoyance half of the time…." Yun Xie replied, not really caring that the man in question was a few inches away from him. "But, if you really get to know him, besides the other 40% of the time were he is also an unbearable troublemaker, the last 10%... He is somewhat okay."

Li Qi Ye deadpanned. Yun Xie was even more shameless than himself…..

Li Shunagyan and Yun Xie continued to exchange in a back and forth conversation about Li Qi Ye's bad traits.

"He is shorter than an average thirteen-year o-"

"Loves beating up children-"

"Dropkicked an orphan once."

Yun Xie had a unique trait, which was his ability to get the coldest most arrogant person into a relatable conversation. Usually insulting someone else.

Li Qi Ye's million-year-old composure was almost falling. Yun Xie truly…. Was a jerk that had probably not been seen in over a billion years…. Only a few managed to come close.

"Yun Xie." Suddenly Li Qi Ye spoke. "Can you stop please?"

"Sure…. Anyway. I just baked a fresh batch of-" Yun Xie changed the conversation, once again chatting amicably with the other two.

Li Shuangyan was surprisingly sociable at times, actually talking and sharing her opinion on the biscuits, while….. Li Qi Ye, was just Li Qi Ye. Big mouth.

Suddenly, Li Shuangyan, remembered what she was going to say before Yun Xie came in with teh tea. Time had really flown by, and it was already almost the vening.

She cleared her throat awkwardly, at the two boys who were chatting about some menial sect matters. "I have a magical formation; if you can just say a few mysterious truths regarding it, not to mention you being able to solve this formation successfully or not, then you do have some ability!"

After Li Shuangyan finished speaking, she took out what seemed to be an "ancient" beast scroll….

It had a bunch of random myriad mystical Dao stuff that Yun Xie did not recognize. He decided to activate Wisdom King Raphael…. Sometimes, Yun Xie wanted to flaunt his phony knowledge to the world too…..

Li Qi Ye started speaking, extremely confident and relaxed.

"This is only a corner of a broken formation. Listen carefully, now: Starting from Kui Xing constellation, go towards the Nine Entrances, avoid the Eight Full Moons, turn into Nine Stars, switch to the Milky Way, and then return to the Dao…"

Li Qi Ye spoke calmly, pointing with his fingers at a certain area.

"And-"

Yun Xie interrupted him, completing his sentence. "This is only a corner of a seemingly broken formation. Then, there is this part….. Starting from Kui Xing constellation, go towards the Nine Entrances, avoid the Eight Full Moons, turn into Nine Stars, switch to the Milky Way, and then return to the Dao…" Yun Xie blabbed on before the conversation switched back to Li Qi Ye.

"This will be the center of the broken formation; it is carefully protected by six Beasts and four Immortals, together. From the past until now, the people who could successfully break through this formation could be counted on one's fingers." Li Qi Y spoke eloquently, not a tone of doubt in his voice. Each word from his mouth made the formation sound like it was some random crap on the streets….

(A/N: Something trivial basically… For the last sentence..)

Even though Li Qi Ye and Yun Xie acted like it was some trivial technique and such, Li Shuangyan was shocked.

Ske knew the heaven-shattering secret of this small beast fur. The original patriarch, the ancestor of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, was extremely lucky to even possess this small fur. The likes of Virtuous Paragons had spent three generations researching this fur…

Only with the knowledge and guidance of the Sect's Virtuous Paragon, did Li Shuangyan only comprehend that piece of fur…

Li SHuangyan did not think that Li Qi Ye would be able to comprehend the fur, let alone Yun Xie too. Well, it was more probable in terms of Yun Xie, as his capabilities had been somewhat revealed at the Sect "exchange".

It was also a huge slash to her ego, in one day, two random people had deciphered a formation that had taken her ancestors generations to uncover….. And even more in depth.
