The members of the Fang Family accompanying the meal felt awkward about eating, so they could only sit quietly on the side, watching Hai Buyun devour his food with great enthusiasm.
After a meal that was quickly finished, Hai Buyun comfortably rubbed his large belly a few times and then let out several loud burps.
He then looked up and said, "Isn't there a talented kid with the surname Guan in your Fang Family? Bring him here to show me."
Upon hearing this, the tall man secretly laughed: so the fat guy invited this deity to deal with that kid; that's quite clever!
The Short Elder and Fang Hanshan exchanged glances and realized it was not good. The fat guy was going to deal with Guan Yunfei!
The Fat Elder pretended to be reluctant and said, "Hall Master, you really are well-informed; even our Fang Family's little guest is known to you."
Hai Buyun understood that the fat guy was trying to shift responsibility and helped him save face by saying, "Yes, we've been keeping an eye on this Kuan Kid. However, we find it very strange how he ended up in your Fang Family."
Fang Hanshan quickly said, "This young man is named Guan Yunfei. He is—"
The Fat Elder hurriedly interrupted Fang Hanshan, saying, "Patriarch, quickly arrange for someone to invite Guan Young Master here so that Hall Master Hai can take a look. Who knows, Hall Master Hai might bring him some surprises."
The Tall Elder also said slyly, "Right, since Kuan Kid is so capable, let Hall Master Hai see for himself. If Hall Master Hai is pleased, he might just take Guan Young Master away. That would be like Guan Young Master leaping over the dragon gate. Hehe."
Hai Buyun also chuckled in agreement. The Short Elder genuinely could not understand Hai Buyun's true intentions for coming here.
Fang Hanshan instructed someone to notify Guan Yue to come over. He was uncertain why Hai Buyun wanted to see Guan Yue but had a vague feeling that something was off; after all, he was an old hand at this. However, he did not believe that anyone from the Fang Family would harm his relatives or friends. He only had serious doubts about Hai Buyun.
When Guan Yue was found, he was with Direction East and Brother West. The three of them were puzzled upon hearing that the Hall Master of Tai Shun Pavilion was looking for Guan Yue: how could he know about him?
After some inquiries, they learned that this Hall Master had come with Hai Buyun. The three immediately confirmed that this matter was likely not good and feared there might be something amiss.
Guan Yue thought for a moment and told Direction East and Brother West not to worry. He would go see what was going on first, and with that, he followed the visitor to meet the Hall Master.
Direction East and Brother West were unable to shake off their worries, so they followed closely behind.
As Guan Yue entered the banquet hall, Fat Elder quickly stood up and respectfully said to Hai Buyun, "Hall Master, please look, this young man is the Guan Yunfei you wanted to see. Truly a remarkable young gentleman of this chaotic world, a graceful and handsome youth."
However, Hai Buyun's gaze towards Guan Yue was very cold. He was a lecherous man who instinctively felt repulsed by beautiful youths. Deep down, he lamented his lost youth and harbored jealousy and resentment towards young men in their prime because they attracted the attention of beautiful women while he could only rely on brute force and power.
When he looked at Guan Yue, he realized that as a Xuantian Realm Cultivator, he could not see through this young man. It seemed there was something yellow-black within him, dense and impenetrable. Yet its energy density was astonishing.
What could this young man possess? Even a Disciple of the Breaking Heaven Realm could not discern this thing, while a Disciple of the Mysterious Heaven Realm could only sense its presence but not see through it. What could it be?
For Disciples, energy did not hold much significance; they merely cultivated Origin Energy to increase their Essence quantity. However, Guan Yue possessing such immense energy was extremely rare, even unprecedented.
Hai Buyun raised his eyelids and disdainfully asked, "Guan Young Master, I’ve heard you have quite a bit of knowledge about formations. Why not demonstrate your talents here so that this Hall Master can witness them?"
"I’m not sure what kind of formation the Hall Master wishes to see," Guan Yue asked calmly.
Hai Buyun immediately replied, "I want to see the formation you once used against Brother Fang, the one capable of trapping experts from the Mysterious Heaven Realm."
At this moment, Fat Elder shot a fierce glare at Hai Buyun. He felt betrayed by Hai Buyun. Wasn't it agreed that he wouldn't be implicated? How could a Hall Master go back on his word?
At this moment, the Fat Elder also felt the approving gaze of the Tall Elder, while simultaneously noticing the cold stares from Fang Hanshan and the Short Elder.
Guan Yue's expression was very sincere, but he spoke earnestly to Hai Buyun, saying, "Hall Master Hai, setting up this formation requires a lot of time and effort. If it weren't for an emergency, I wouldn't want to do this pointless task." Deep down, Guan Yue harbored a strong aversion towards Tai Shun Pavilion. He felt as if fate had destined him to be in opposition to Tai Shun Pavilion, and that he would constantly face their difficulties and setbacks. This debt would eventually need to be settled. Therefore, he did not wish to fulfill the wishes of this Hall Master Hai.
Upon hearing Guan Yue's words, Hai Buyun was momentarily stunned: What is this kid saying? He doesn't want to set it up for me? He truly couldn't believe his ears, so he asked again, "Are you really not going to listen to me?"
Guan Yue reiterated, "Hall Master Hai, I truly do not wish to set up that formation right now. The consumption is too great and it serves no purpose."
A hint of a smile appeared on Tall Elder's face. The Fat Elder was extremely pleased with Guan Yue's performance: This is a path to self-destruction. Now Fang Hanshan won't blame me for this, right? Your future son-in-law is digging his own grave.
Fang Hanshan understood that Hai Buyun was a strong man who made unreasonable demands, but Guan Yue's reaction puzzled him. Right now, Tai Shun Pavilion was actively hunting you down; shouldn't you handle this properly instead of forcing them to capture you before complying with their will?
"You? You! You!!?" Hai Buyun exclaimed three times in anger, his eyes blazing with fury.
Fang Hanshan immediately stepped forward to advise, "Hall Master, please calm down. Allow me to persuade Young Master Guan."
Fang Hanshan approached Guan Yue again, constantly signaling him while saying, "Young Master Guan, since it's such a hassle and requires effort, just reluctantly set up the formation for Hall Master Hai. This is also a recognition of your formation skills."
Seeing Fang Hanshan in a difficult position, Guan Yue nodded and said, "Since the clan leader has spoken, I will set it up. However, it will consume a lot of energy; I hope everyone can be patient."
Tall Elder's face showed disappointment as he realized that Hai Buyun had actually tolerated Guan Yue's arrogance and had been persuaded by Fang Hanshan.
Guan Yue walked to the other end of the banquet hall and began setting up the formation. Hai Buyun, Fat Elder, Tall Elder, Short Elder, and Fang Hanshan all stood by watching every move he made. They hoped to understand how to break this formation by observing Guan Yue's setup.
Guan Yue was aware of Hai Buyun and Fat Elder's intentions. Although he was extremely reluctant to set it up, he began the process for the safety of the Fang Family. However, during the setup process, he deliberately mixed up the order—moving things here and there—so that those nearby would be completely confused about the normal sequence. Moreover, he knew that soon Hai Buyun would definitely enter the formation himself to test it out; therefore, he sprinkled some powder within the formation to cause him a bit of embarrassment.
Hai Buyun felt increasingly alarmed as he watched from the side.
Although Hai Buyun was not very proficient in formations, he was familiar with the basic formations of Tai Shun Pavilion, and he knew that each hall served to protect the main formation. However, seeing Guan Yue's arrangement was completely different from Tai Shun Pavilion's formations. He silently admired, "No wonder, this kid's method of arranging formations is truly advanced. Such a complex arrangement must possess immense power."
Fang Hanshan, Fat Elder, Tall Elder, and Short Elder were all deeply shocked: how could there be such a complicated method of arranging formations? It was simply outrageous! Who could possibly remember such a formation arrangement?
Out of curiosity, the siblings Direction East and Fang West, who had been hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but approach to observe Guan Yue's method of arranging the formation. Being young, their curiosity was naturally quite strong!
At that moment, everyone was focused on Guan Yue, so no one noticed the two of them.
Since Guan Yue had infused countless small points into the formation, outsiders could not see it at all. At the same time, he also arranged methods to control the medicinal properties within the formation.
After about an hour, Guan Yue felt that it was almost time; if he took any longer, it would raise suspicion. He withdrew and signaled for those watching nearby to step back.
He suddenly looked up and saw Direction East and Fang West, signaling for them to leave quickly. However, it was too late; Hai Buyun had suddenly spotted the fresh and elegant Fang West. The old lecher's face lit up: "Wow, your Fang Family girl is truly enchanting. This young lady is really impressive; she has caught Old Man's eye."
Fang Hanshan had long heard that Hai Buyun was a lecher; now that he saw his daughter—such a talented daughter—he felt a wave of dread. He immediately signaled for his daughter to leave quickly, but Hai Buyun grabbed Fang West and looked at her with infatuation.
Seeing the situation turn dire, Fat Elder quickly said to Hai Buyun, "Hall Master Hai, this young girl is our Fang Family's genius maiden and also the daughter of the Fang Clan Leader. She is already a Disciple at the Breaking Heaven stage and will surely become a talented successor for our Fang Family in the future."
Hai Buyun held onto Fang West without letting go and turned to Fat Elder saying, "Didn't I tell you? A genius girl like her should definitely come to our Tai Shun Pavilion for a brighter future. Only if she succeeds can your Fang Family truly stand on its own. So this young lady must come to our Tai Shun Pavilion to live, cultivate, and fight alongside me."
