Chapter 601 - 553: Don’t Disturb My Virtuous Son-in-law

Chapter 601: Chapter 553: Don’t Disturb My Virtuous Son-in-law

Seeing the ancient array before them, the expressions of the Bai family elders varied.

The more array patterns there were, the more complex the ancient array was, and even each array pattern was more intricate, making the difficulty of repairing it far beyond the remains array displayed in the Carefree Pavilion.

Bai Yaosha lightly lifted her beautiful eyes, looking toward the figure in front of her.

Thinking about last night’s interaction, her heart couldn’t help but ripple with emotion.

Qin Yu seemed to sense it and turned back to signal to her not to worry.

Last night, he didn’t return to his Lifebound Space, mainly because he was worried about the Bai family discovering something unusual.

Except for the most intimate people, this kind of trump card would never be easily revealed unless absolutely necessary.

"Let me try."

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Lan and others, Qin Yu slowly stepped forward.

Seeing this, the Second Elder and other clan elders wore solemn expressions, their gaze incredibly serious.

As high-ranking members of the Bai family, they knew well that if this array could be repaired, the power of the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Array could increase by at least five percent!

But it was so difficult!

"Son-in-law, you don’t need to feel pressured. Whether you can repair it or not, I appreciate your intention."

Bai Lan laughed heartily, then signaled the clan elders to step back a bit to avoid disturbing him.

"Buzz..."

The ancient array before him emitted a faint glow, with mysterious lines flowing, subtly exuding an ancient aura.

Qin Yu glanced over.

This array had a total of three hundred and sixty array patterns.

Of them, only seven were intact, while the others were damaged to varying degrees. Some could only be discerned with the arrangement of array stones showing that an array pattern originally existed there.

If it were any other Array Master, even a glance would evoke a deep sense of helplessness. Any broken array pattern would take a lot of time to repair.

The next moment, Qin Yu’s heart moved, with flames seeming to flash in the depths of his eyes.

Under the Celestial Eye, the originally damaged array patterns appeared one by one.

"Buzz..."

Without any hesitation, Qin Yu unleashed his Spiritual Power.

"Middle Tier!"

"Didn’t Yaoyin say that Master Qin’s Spiritual Power was at the Initial Stage when she relayed the information? Could it be that in just a few months, his Spiritual Power broke through again?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Lan’s eyes, and the elders beside him also showed similarly focused expressions.

Spiritual Power at the Initial Stage was enough to be called a Master, holding an extremely high status even within the Bai family.

However, reaching the Middle Tier, apart from a few clan elders, those achieving such a level of Spiritual Power were very few!

Among those present, only Bai Yaosha remained relatively calm.

After all, she had known for a long time.

In comparison, the array patterns Qin Yu was repairing captured more of Bai Yaosha’s attention.

If it weren’t for her father and the clan elders being there, she would have wanted to get closer to carefully observe every change in Qin Yu’s Spiritual Power.

While Bai Lan and the elders were still immersed in the shock brought by Qin Yu’s proficiency in Spiritual Power, the patterns on the array stone before him gradually emerged as his Spiritual Power surged.

"Master Qin seems to be picking it up quickly."

The Second Elder muttered in surprising tones.

The Great Elder and others couldn’t help but furrow their brows. Though they said nothing, some doubt lingered in their eyes.

Every clan elder had long immersed themselves in perfecting ancient arrays, with insights into ancient arrays sufficient to call themselves masters.

Repairing array patterns required first observing the mystery of each residual array pattern, then attempting repairs one by one. If one could reach an epiphany, part of the array might be fixed.

But repairing an ancient array could never rely on luck!

From observation to now, it had only been a few breaths, and Qin Yu was already attempting to repair the array patterns?

This seemed far too careless.

And it appeared very casual.

In their view, such behavior ranked even below the initial learners within the clan.

"Stay calm."

Bai Lan took in the expressions of all the clan elders. Although he also had some doubts, out of trust in Qin Yu, he did not rush to comment.

"Huh?"

As Qin Yu’s Spiritual Power surged, mysterious arcs were drawn out. Within just a few breaths, the originally damaged array patterns slowly manifested.

Witnessing this, the clan elders couldn’t help but widen their eyes, staring intently at the array patterns in front of Qin Yu, afraid of missing any detail in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yu’s Spiritual Power was smooth and unhesitant, with each mysterious arc drawn coming together naturally, as if this array pattern was always meant to be this way.

"I wonder how long it will take for the son-in-law to repair an array pattern..."

Bai Lan’s heart was incredibly excited, his eyes full of expectation.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he could hardly imagine that this was real.

At Qin Yu’s current speed, even if he failed a few times, it shouldn’t take too long to repair an array pattern, right?

Everyone held their breath, not daring to take a deep breath, for fear of disturbing Qin Yu’s movements.

"Buzz..."

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, as the last stroke completed, the array stone before Qin Yu burst with radiance.

The array pattern had been repaired?!

This speed, wasn’t it too fast?

The clan elders hadn’t even snapped out of it, bewildered.

Bai Lan opened his mouth, just about to praise a couple of lines, only to see Qin Yu already moving on to the second array pattern.

The next moment, spiritual power fluctuations surged forth once again.

"This... my worthy son-in-law, is this how he usually repairs ancient formations?"

Bai Lan’s voice was somewhat dry.

Bai Yaosha nodded, without giving any further explanation, her beautiful eyes full of yearning. She wanted Qin Yu to guide her on how to comprehend this ancient array pattern.

"Hehe..."

Bai Lan’s mouth twitched, what did his daughter’s matter-of-course demeanor mean?

Could it be that I am making a fuss over nothing?

Bai Lan glanced at several clan elders, each of them looking dazed, clearly yet to come back to their senses.

Actually, it’s no wonder the Bai family’s elders were like this. In their impression, the fastest time anyone had repaired an ancient array pattern was by the first clan leader of the Bai family, the first recorded Array Grandmaster of the Human Race, who seemed to have taken only five days to repair one array pattern.

But that was not such a complex core pattern!

Moreover, that ancestor had entered a state of enlightenment, which allowed him to repair the pattern in such a short time.

And Qin Yu?

From the beginning to the complete repair of this array pattern, it hasn’t even been a quarter of an hour, right?

"Clan Leader, I will first imprint this array pattern."

"Presumptuous! Seventh Elder, do not forget your status. Is it your place to imprint it?"

"Let this old man do it. I have painstakingly studied this array for over thirty years, and I am faster."

After a brief silence, the clan elders suddenly came to their senses, a hint of excitement rising in their eyes, even erupting into arguments for the chance to be the first to comprehend the pattern.

Were it not for Qin Yu and Bai Yaosha being present, they might have come to blows over it.

Bai Lan furrowed his brows. If not for having to maintain his dignity, he would have wanted to fight for it as well.

With the authority of a clan leader, is it even possible that he couldn’t compete with these old folks?

"Silence, do not disturb my worthy son-in-law as he repairs the pattern."

Bai Lan scolded lightly, stopping the crowd’s arguments.

However, he seemed to have underestimated the elders’ enthusiasm for the ancient array patterns. After a glance at him, they resumed their quarrel.

Is this a joke!

Clan Leader?

For major and minor matters they may listen to you, but when it comes to comprehending ancient array patterns, absolutely not!

The spiritual power on the pattern had yet to dissipate; if they could strike while the iron is hot and comprehend it now, they could certainly use the residual spiritual power left by Qin Yu to unlock its mysteries, making the task considerably easier!

"Elders, why not wait a bit longer?"

Bai Yaosha gazed in astonishment at these clan elders, who usually bore sober expressions and an air of authority, guessing that few clan members have ever seen them act in such a chaotic manner.

But...

It’s just an array pattern, although precious, is it really enough to move them so much?

"Ahem, you don’t understand..."

Bai Lan looked at Bai Yaosha’s clear eyes and couldn’t help but think of the information transmitted by Bai Yaoyin.

This daughter, living too comfortably, didn’t know hardship.

Qin Yu, meaning to make connections, was naturally willing to put forth the effort to meticulously guide her in comprehending the pattern.

But these clan elders, haven’t they all devoted half their lives to the ancient arrays?

Now that someone has repaired a pattern right before their eyes, how can they remain calm?

"Clan Leader, to welcome Master Qin, I went to the outside world to guide him in. You be the judge, shouldn’t I be the first to comprehend this array pattern?"

The Second Elder couldn’t care less about saving face.

Old scoundrels, wanting to seize the advantage?

Dream on!

This elder’s proficiency in spiritual power had been stuck in the Middle Tier for over twenty years. Comprehending the pattern might allow a breakthrough. What are you fighting for?

However, before the Second Elder could finish, he was squeezed out by the other clan elders.

The merits and achievements, the clan elders blurted out one after another.

For the contributions to the ancient race, they had all now become the capital for being the first to comprehend the pattern.

Bai Lan’s expression darkened; acting like this, if he were to join in fighting for the opportunity, it would probably damage the dignity of the clan leader, right?

If not for the fact that the clan elders still showed some restraint and did not affect Qin Yu’s repair of the pattern, he really wanted to take the opportunity to kick them out.

"Buzz..."

Just as Bai Lan was undecided, a glimmer of fluorescence surged up in front of Qin Yu once more, a mysterious fluctuation spreading quietly.

"It’s repaired again?"

The Great Elder was stunned, a hint of incredulity flashing in his old eyes.

Compared to repairing the first array pattern, Qin Yu’s speed was clearly much faster, seeming more adept?

"Great Elder, do not disturb my worthy son-in-law."

Bai Lan dropped this sentence, his eyes flashing, spiritual power already spreading on the first array pattern.

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"Bah, a disgrace to the Bai Family Clan Leader!"

The Great Elder and others were stunned, a surge of indignation appearing on their old faces.

If not for the fact he kept calling Qin Yu "worthy son-in-law", they would really want to impeach this clan leader on the spot!

The Great Elder glanced, shocked to find Qin Yu had already begun to repair the third array pattern, his disregard for the clan elders’ squabbling making the Great Elder feel deeply ashamed.
