Chapter 192: Can't He Leave Tomorrow?!
Cangzhou.
In the great river, Qinghe's small body burst with huge energy, and several formation bases were buried into the water.
Qinghe's small face was very serious right now. She carefully controlled spiritual energy to connect the formation bases being buried now with the ones buried before.
There was no need for Xie Lingyu to urge her seriously now; Qinghe did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
This thing might really explode if not done properly.
Qinghe had already been blown up several times.
The power of this linked formation was not just talk. Although it was troublesome, its power was real and solid.
Qinghe still remembered when she first set it up carelessly and casually. That brat, Li Xingtian, kept grumbling in the distance—Be careful, these linked formation bases are easy to explode! And the power is quite significant!
At that time, Qinghe wanted to turn her head and tell that kid to be quiet. As a result, she lost focus for just a tiny moment.
In an instant, those formation bases began a chain explosion.
The water splash was truly huge!
Even Qinghe at the Nascent Soul stage was stunned for several seconds on the spot and blasted a hundred meters away.
That kid was really right—this thing really is easy to explode, and the power is truly damn huge!
After being blown up for the first time, Qinghe scrambled and rolled to find Xie Lingyu, accusing them of abusing her.
Let whoever loves this thing do it! Anyway, she couldn't do it!
She was a flood dragon to begin with and not very hardworking. How would she know formation structures? She had only heard a little about it before.
She had never studied it seriously.
Once it was practical operation, she was faced with this high-level setup. What kind of compound linked great array is this? Not only had she never heard of it, but if the construction failed, it would actually blow up to the sky.
Who could withstand this situation?
As a flood dragon, her skin was indeed a bit thicker, but it still hurt a lot!
Xie Lingyu expressed her opinion on this—Would you rather return to the Tianyan Sect and be spun like a top by Master, or be blown up a few times here?
Qinghe argued with reason, but unfortunately, she was rendered speechless by Xie Lingyu in just a few sentences.
She said things like you have lost all face for flood dragons. If your dragon horns were as hard as your mouth, even Master wouldn't be able to chop them down.
Don't tell me you plan to do nothing and just lie paralyzed in the Tianyan Sect acting as a mascot?
Hearing this, Qinghe originally intended to agree with a straight face—after all, being a mascot is quite good. Few duties and good treatment.
But Qinghe, who hadn't prepared her thick skin yet, heard Xie Lingyu's next sentence.
"Given Master's personality, a mascot is impossible. I heard from Master that she wants a mount to pull a carriage recently."
Qinghe thought about it: short-term pain versus long-term hard labor...
Better to just endure the pain. Going out to pull a carriage for Grandmother White would also be very embarrassing.
Besides, Lingyu definitely learned bad habits from that kid! Before, when did she ever say such heart-stinging words!
These words! She, Qinghe, did not like to hear them!
However, no matter how unwilling she was, she still had to do what needed to be done.
Due to a lack of basic experience, even if Qinghe arranged things extremely carefully, she would still occasionally make mistakes and get blown into the sky.
After Qinghe cautiously finished placing all the formation bases in front of her, she hurriedly let out a breath of relief.
After all, sometimes an explosion didn't require resetting just one formation base, but many.
The feeling of starting all over again was truly terrible.
But at least the formation bases here were finally installed, so she wouldn't be blown into the sky here again.
Qinghe excitedly rushed out of the water and looked toward the shore.
She saw Li Xingtian looking at the map in his hand with a thoughtful expression.
Qinghe's figure flickered slightly and arrived in front of Li Xingtian. She was now a bit annoyed with Li Xingtian, who was ordering her around.
Her tone was slightly displeased: "Brat, the formation bases here are finally buried! There shouldn't be any more, right?!"
Hearing this, Li Xingtian skillfully put away the map in his hand first, then looked at Qinghe, who was much shorter than him. He stretched out his hands to clap and praise:
"As expected of Lord Qinghe, your movements were truly crisp and clean."
Qinghe raised her head proudly and said: "Isn't that obvious?"
Li Xingtian sighed slightly in his heart that the method taught by his master was indeed easy to use. He then put on a practiced smile and said:
"Although I really want to tell you it's over, unfortunately, there are still a few small places where we need to set up a simple ambush."
"Still more?!" Qinghe said in disbelief, "With such a small water vein, I have already set up at least seven places, right? You call this setting up an ambush?"
"You brat, hurry up and take out your map to show me! Are you planning to set up an ambush on the entire water vein!"
Li Xingtian naturally would not show any map to Qinghe. Otherwise, this flood dragon would definitely quit on the spot.
This flood dragon was truly clumsy to the extreme. These were just a few simple linked formation bases. His own master could set them up effortlessly, completing an ambush in just a moment.
The water vein in Chizhou was what could be called fine work.
Not only was this flood dragon slow, but she also exploded every now and then.
Although the explosion range did not reach Li Xingtian, he still needed to deal with the sound of the explosion's aftermath.
Otherwise, with these occasional explosion sounds, even a fool should come to see what was happening.
If someone didn't know better, they might think a Nascent Soul cultivator was bored out of their mind and exploding fish here for fun.
Given Qinghe's performance, Li Xingtian had long since stopped hoping she could complete the entire design he laid out.
He would just take however much she could do. However, Li Xingtian had also figured out this dragon's temperament over these past few days.
Li Xingtian spoke calmly: "There aren't many more left. Lord Qinghe, make one more effort. After we finish today, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Eat?" Qinghe's tone softened a bit, and she asked协商ly: "Can we go to the Wangyue Tower in Cangzhou City?"
"This..." Li Xingtian's face showed a bit of difficulty, but finally he sighed and said, "Naturally, we can, but please don't tell my master. The money for this meal has to come from the sect funds."
Qinghe hurriedly guaranteed: "Mmhmm! Don't worry! The whole Tianyan Sect knows that Qinghe has the tightest mouth!"
"Alright then, let's go to the next place. Also, please be a bit more serious when you set up the formation later, stop exploding it all the time..."
"You brat, you are so chatty! Why so many requests!"
"If Lord Qinghe works hard, I'll cover tonight's dessert too."
"You brat, you really know how to treat people right! Don't worry! The Qinghe from now on will be the incredibly serious Qinghe!"
Li Xingtian nodded hurriedly.
The Wangyue Tower Qinghe spoke of was just an ordinary mortal restaurant. Perhaps the price was high among mortals, but for a Golden Core cultivator, it was just a bit of gold and silver.
As long as Li Xingtian was willing, the gold he got from casually selling a small treasure in his hand could buy the Wangyue Tower.
So, Li Xingtian would not feel heartache over the meal.
Expressing such heartache was just to make this flood dragon feel it had gained a big advantage.
What truly made Li Xingtian feel heartache were the formation bases exploded in Qinghe's hands!
Those things were bought with spirit stones!
Li Xingtian, who had not yet gotten used to the sect becoming somewhat wealthy, was still feeling heartache over how hard it was for his master to save money.
When the two rushed to the next water vein and were ready to start work, Xie Lingyu, who hadn't been seen for some time because she said she had matters to attend to, suddenly came looking for them.
Xie Lingyu flew to Li Xingtian and said: "Your master sent a message telling you to go to Chizhou now. He is already waiting for you there."
Hearing this, Qinghe froze and hurriedly said: "Can he go tomorrow?!"
Xie Lingyu looked at Qinghe with suspicion. How did the relationship between this human and flood dragon become so good these past few days?
She asked with a suspicious tone: "Why?"
Qinghe said anxiously: "He is treating me to dinner at Wangyue Tower tonight, and there's dessert too! If he leaves now, what do I eat?!"
Xie Lingyu nodded lightly upon hearing this, looked at Li Xingtian, and said:
"You can set off now."
Li Xingtian nodded lightly when he heard this. Ignoring Qinghe's extremely reluctant gaze to the side, he rushed straight toward Chizhou.
Mn! Saved the master a lot of gold again.
