When Qiu Xiyu heard Qiu Ruoshuang's question, he unconsciously fell into some reverie. Qiu Ruoshuang did not disturb them, but waited patiently. “Senior Brother Su is a very peaceful person. In fact, with his talent and potential, he should be very arrogant. But Senior Brother Su is different from others. I have met many young people from large sects. Even if they try their best to restrain themselves, you can still see the sense of superiority they unconsciously exude. I agree that this isn't a big deal. The younger generation under the command of powerful forces have been highly sought after and praised by thousands of people since childhood. It's normal for them to have this problem. But this kind of arrogance does give people a bad feeling.” Hearing this, Qiu Ruoshuang nodded slightly.
But I couldn't help but ask back. "Then is there a possibility that Senior Brother Su is very good at disguising himself, and Xiyu, you didn't see that? Don't get me wrong, my aunt has no prejudice against him. In fact, I have a good impression of people with the surname Su. It’s just that many men are better at concealing themselves in front of others. When judging people, you should not only look at what they say and do on the surface, but also look at the choices they make. They face a lot of dangerous choices.” Qiu Ruoshuang's reminder actually made Qiu Xiyu feel a little uncomfortable. She also knew that her aunt didn't mean to say that. But listening to this, I did feel very uncomfortable. Now, whenever Qiu Xiyu hears others say bad things about Su Chen, she feels unconsciously repulsed. However, Qiu Ruoshuang's words were definitely not directed at Su Chen. “I, my aunt, also met a man who chose to take the risk when faced with a life-or-death crisis. Risking one's life to save others. At that time, he should not have reached the seventh level of strength. The true character of a person can be seen from the choices he makes when facing things. " Qiu Ruoshuang talked about some of her own experiences. Although Qiu Xiyu felt a little uncomfortable, she knew that what her aunt said was right. But then she thought about it carefully and felt that even judging by the choice, Su Chen was still very good. "According to what my aunt said, Senior Brother Su's character is still very good.
It was the second round of assessment for the eighth-grade formation master. We were in danger. The demon ambushed us and I almost died at its hands. It was Senior Brother Su who risked his life to save me." Qiu Ruoshuang listened to Qiu Xiyu describing the situation that day. Although I didn't know whether it was true or not, I didn't raise any other questions. Just let Qiu Xiyu continue to speak and describe her senior brother Su’s talent and attainments in formation. "To be honest, there are many things Xiyu doesn't understand about Senior Brother Su's formation strength. When Senior Brother Su gave me some guidance, I often didn’t understand. Senior Brother Su’s formation theory is very different from what we have learned and used. Of course, not even the underlying theories are different. There is only a very obvious difference in usage. Senior Brother Su also said that he did not learn the basics of formations from the current formation masters. His attainments in formations were all learned from ancient manuals. Senior Brother Su’s formation strength has actually reached that of a fifth-grade formation master. I heard from other formation masters in the formation alliance that they gave Senior Brother Su the identity of a sixth-grade formation master. Mainly because they are not qualified. Those formation masters of theirs, they themselves are only fifth-grade formation masters. Not qualified to be awarded the fifth rank title. Senior Brother Su even gave them a lot of advice during his conversation with them. Master Lian gained a lot from Senior Brother Su. This time when he came to our Qiu family, Daddy gave Senior Brother Su some power for no reason. No matter how good-tempered Senior Brother Su is, he will always have some resentment in his heart. They saw that Senior Brother Su had some abilities, but Senior Brother Su had no way to vent his complaints. As Qiu Xiyu said this, Qiu Ruoshuang thought of Su Chen. She felt that if it were Su Chen, he would definitely not have any resentment in his heart. Even if I'm unhappy, I won't leave like this. He unconsciously belittled Qiu Xiyu's senior brother Su in his heart. She also said that her senior brother Su was far inferior to Su Chen in terms of etiquette and manners.
And if you are really interested in Qiu Xiyu, you can come down and talk in detail about any grievances you have. It shouldn't be just walking away. Qiu Ruoshuang believed that if Su Chen was invited by her to be a guest at the Qiu family, even if he suffered a great injustice, Su Chen would temporarily endure it. When I feel unhappy, I complain to myself. But I won't do this in front of others and embarrass everyone. Qiu Ruoshuang thought about it in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. It would be bad if Qiu Xiyu said anything more about her senior brother Su's attitude. Not only would Qiu Xiyu not listen to her, she would definitely be very resentful towards her as her aunt. Thinking of this, Qiu Ruoshuang naturally wouldn't say much. Although he has some skills in martial arts and has achieved some achievements. But on these issues, no one will listen to you. What's more, this is an emotional matter. What others say doesn't seem to mean that much. Qiu Ruoshuang didn't think about these things, but was thinking about the formation talent of Senior Brother Su described by Qiu Xiyu. From what Qiu Xiyu said, Senior Brother Su’s strength in formation was a little too strong. Even the masters of the Zhenmeng Alliance need to ask him for advice. This sounds a bit exaggerated, and Qiu Ruoshuang doesn't quite believe it. “Xiyu, since your Junior Brother Su is so powerful in formation. Our Qiu family’s camp in the north happens to need the help of a formation master. Could you please invite him to come with you to the northern border? Of course, his family can give him double the compensation he deserves." After hearing what Qiu Xiyu said, Qiu Ruoshuang still had some doubts about the true ability of this Senior Brother Su. I even feel like he might be a liar. It just so happens that the northern border needs a formation master. Didn’t my cousin ask me to go and talk to Senior Brother Su and give him some comfort? Take this opportunity, that's all right. Hearing Qiu Ruoshuang's proposal, Qiu Xiyu shook his head. “Little aunt, you don’t know that Senior Brother Su actually has no obsession with the art of formations.
He would rather spend his energy and time on practicing martial arts. This trip will definitely take quite some time. If I go to invite him, Senior Brother Su should also come. But in my heart, I am definitely unwilling.” Qiu Xiyu's answer made Qiu Ruoshuang more suspicious. There are so many reasons, but the only reason is to avoid showing up, which makes him seem more like a liar. “Since there is no chance this time, Xiyu, you should make other arrangements. My cousin asked me to talk to him and give him some comfort. If you have some free time recently, you can arrange it during this period of time." Qiu Ruoshuang's doubts in her heart increased. She now wanted to meet with Senior Brother Su, more importantly, she wanted to confirm something for Qiu Xiyu. See if there is anything wrong with this person. If there was a problem, she would not allow a genius of the Qiu family like Qiu Xiyu to be ruined by a liar. He is really capable, just as Qiu Xiyu described. Then Qiu Ruoshuang will not only give her full support, but will even prepare a generous gift. Give it to two people and wish them both the best. "I have written a letter to Senior Brother Su. If he is free, he should reply soon. It’s just that Senior Brother Su said before that he would concentrate on practicing martial arts during this period of time. I’m afraid it’s hard to find time during this period.” Qiu Xiyu actually knew that it was impossible to let Qiu Ruoshuang wait for Su Chen. The time of this young aunt of mine is more precious than that of many leaders of large sects. If her senior brother Su wants to see his aunt, he can only wait and see when Qiu Ruoshuang is free. After this incident, Qiu Ruoshuang began to talk about some serious matters with Qiu Xiyu. During the conversation, there were questions, prompts, and many tests. Qiu Xiyu's identity as an eighth-grade formation master is indeed true, and everything she said is quite appropriate. When Qiu Ruoshuang heard this, she nodded repeatedly. Especially regarding Qiu Ruoshuang's idea of array arrangement, she couldn't help but learn more about it. "Xiyu, tell me more about your ideas for setting up this formation, especially the improved route. I think what you said is quite new. Please analyze the pros and cons with me."
Seeing Qiu Ruoshuang asking so seriously, Qiu Xiyu showed a little pride on his face. "My aunt also thinks this idea is feasible~ This is what Senior Brother Su told me before. He said that the current formation arrangement is a bit too conservative. It may not be easy to express the word "conservative", but to put it more clearly, it means always wanting to be comprehensive. I want nothing to go wrong.” As Qiu Xiyu spoke, Qiu Ruoshuang beside him listened seriously. She thought this statement was interesting. Over the years, she had rarely heard of anyone proposing new ideas. "Our current border defense line and the arrangement of the formation are like a long city wall. All we want is to keep those monsters out. Just like our Qiu family mansion. After the city wall was built, it was divided into inside and outside. There is actually nothing wrong with this idea, but the strength of our current formation is far from enough. Not to mention our Qiu family, even if all the masters of the Formation Alliance came out, we would not be able to do this. As long as there is a problem in any part of this blocking formation, our city wall will be ineffective. The rotten gap in this defensive wall is like a moat. If there is a gap, the flood will rush through the river bank and into the city. If there is a gap in the city wall, then this place will become the flood outlet for monsters to sneak in. The entire array defense belt has completely lost its function." Qiu Ruoshuang had a serious look on her face. What Qiu Xiyu said made a lot of sense. At least in Qiu Ruoshuang's opinion, she agreed with it. The blocking zone formed by the formation will become a decoration if there are problems in one or two places. Especially when these formations had problems and were destroyed, the people of Jin State still needed time to investigate. And countless monsters have already infiltrated through these gaps. The effect of the formation is far from achieving the desired effect. It also consumes a lot of resources and has extremely high maintenance costs. "Go on, Xiyu, the drawbacks you mentioned do exist now. We have discussed this issue a long time ago. But are you sure that the concepts you mentioned can solve these problems?" Qiu Xiyu nodded.
“The method that Senior Brother Su told me may not be perfect, but it will definitely be more effective in dealing with the monsters at the border. When we arrange the countermeasures, we should not close the entire line with the formation as we did before. This kind of blockade is only effective for a short time and has no deterrent effect on monsters. The methods that Senior Brother Su talked about are completely different in concept. We don't defend or isolate monsters. Instead, he attacked with formations, severely damaging those monsters. Our goal is not to guard against them, but to make them suffer a great loss and make them so scared that they dare not come near us." Qiu Ruoshuang frowned slightly when she heard this. I feel like I have heard this idea from Su Chen before. However, what Su Chen said to her at that time was from the perspective of a warrior. There is still a big difference between this concept and what Qiu Xiyu said. After all, what Qiu Xiyu said was from the perspective of a formation master. "Xiyu, please continue. I think this concept is feasible. Just on the line of formation, how should we actually deal with it and what actions should be taken, let’s talk about it in detail.” Qiu Ruoshuang continued to ask, if no practical application could be given. All the words before that were just empty talk and meaningless. “Senior Brother Su’s idea is that the formation we set up at the border should no longer be so rigid and connected into a line to hinder the monsters. The formation we set up has an uncertain location, an uncertain area, and an uncertain number. The formation is not meant to hinder monsters, but to severely damage them. In some areas, we may leave them completely empty. Some areas are covered with dangerous thorns. The powerful monsters already have intelligence. These spiritual wisdoms have helped them accomplish many great things and make many decisions, making them increasingly difficult to deal with. But it is precisely because of their spiritual wisdom that these monsters feel afraid. The top celestial demons value their lives much more than the little demons." When Qiu Ruoshuang heard this, she actually understood everything. "Xiyu, what you mean is that the means we use to resist the monsters this time is actually their own fear. The location of the area where the formation is arranged is uncertain. They didn't know where the formation that could severely damage them existed.
Let them be afraid and terrified every step they take. Is that what you mean? " Qiu Xiyu nodded. Just a little hint would be enough to talk about these things with her aunt. "Do you think this is feasible, little aunt? I talked about this with my dad before, and he said I was daydreaming and unrealistic." “This is not an unrealistic idea; in my opinion, it is a useful approach. And we can also add some small tricks when arranging the formation. The closer an area is to our border, the more damaging formations there are, and the farther away from it, the less danger there is. We need to let those monsters know that as long as they stay in the wilderness, they will be safe." Qiu Ruoshuang always said what she thought and never spoke up for Qiu Xingchuan just to save his face. She strongly supports Qiu Xiyu's idea on this matter. “Senior Brother Su also gave other ideas to be used in conjunction with these formation arrangements. The formations we set up are assisted by mechanical techniques. Use simple mechanisms to stop small and big monsters, and other low-level monsters. Prevent them from being the vanguard and blocking the disaster for the demons of heaven and earth." (End of this chapter)
