Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 553 Don't Disturb My Wise Son-in-Law
Upon seeing the ancient formation before them, the Bai family elders displayed a variety of expressions.

The more array patterns there are, the more complex the ancient array is. In fact, each array pattern is more intricate, making it far more difficult to repair than the broken arrays displayed in the Xiaoyao Pavilion.

Bai Yaosha slightly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the figure in front of her.

Thinking about how they spent the night together, a wave of emotion washed over her.

Qin Yu seemed to sense something and turned back to her to indicate that she didn't need to worry.

Last night, he did not return to his natal space, mainly because he was worried that the Bai family would discover something was amiss.

Aside from his closest family and friends, he would never easily reveal this trump card unless absolutely necessary.

"let me try."

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

Upon seeing this, the Second Elder and other clan elders became solemn, their eyes filled with deep gravity.

As high-ranking members of the Bai family, they knew that if this formation could be repaired, the power of the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Formation could be increased by at least half a percent!

But, it’s so difficult!

“My dear son-in-law, there’s no need to feel pressured. Whether or not it can be repaired, I accept your good intentions.”

Bai Lan laughed loudly, then gestured for the elders to step back so as not to disturb him.

"Om..."

The ancient array in front of him emitted a faint glow, with mysterious patterns flowing around it, subtly exuding an ancient and rustic aura.

Qin Yu glanced at it.

This formation has a total of 360 array patterns.

Of these, only seven are intact. The other array patterns are almost all damaged to varying degrees. Some of them can only be identified by the array stones on which they were placed, indicating that there should have been array patterns here originally.

If it were any other array master, even just a glance would evoke a profound sense of powerlessness, as any incomplete array pattern would require a significant amount of time to repair.

The next moment, Qin Yu's mind stirred, and a flame seemed to flash deep in her eyes.

Under the Heavenly Eye, the originally incomplete array patterns gradually emerged.

"Om..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yu unleashed her spiritual power.

"Mid-stage of the Microscopic Realm!"

"Didn't Yaoyin send the last intelligence report saying that Master Qin's mental strength was at the initial stage of the Subtle Realm? Could it be that his mental strength has broken through again in just a few months?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Lan's eyes, and the elders beside her also looked slightly solemn.

His mental strength was so profound that he could be called a master, and he held a very high position even within the Bai family.

Aside from a few elders, there are very few people who can reach this level of spiritual power in the intermediate stage of the Microscopic Realm!
Of all those present, only Bai Yaosha remained relatively calm.

After all, she already knew.

In comparison, the array patterns that Qin Yu was repairing attracted Bai Yaosha's attention more.

If her father and the clan elders hadn't been there, she would have loved to get closer and carefully observe every change in Qin Yu's spiritual power.

While Bai Lan and the elders were still reeling from the shock brought by Qin Yu's mastery of spiritual power, patterns gradually emerged on the array stone in front of him as his spiritual power surged.

"Master Qin picked it up pretty quickly."

A look of surprise flashed across the Second Elder's eyes as he murmured.

The elder and the others frowned slightly. Although they didn't say anything, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Each elder of the clan has spent a long time immersing themselves in perfecting the ancient formations, and their insights into the art of ancient formations are enough to make them masters.

To repair the array patterns, one must first observe the profound mysteries of each remaining pattern, and then try to repair them one by one. If one can enter a state of enlightenment, it may be possible to repair a portion of them.

However, restoring the ancient formation could never be done by luck!
Qin Yu has only been observing for a few breaths, yet she has already taken action to repair the array patterns.

That's far too sloppy.

And it seemed very casual.

In their view, such behavior was even worse than that of a beginner within the clan.

"Don't be impatient."

Bai Lan took in the expressions of the elders. Although he also had some doubts, he did not rush to express his opinion because of his trust in Qin Yu.

"what?"

As Qin Yu's spiritual power surged, profound arcs were drawn out, and in just a few breaths, the originally incomplete array patterns slowly revealed themselves.

Upon seeing this, all the elders widened their eyes, staring intently at the array patterns in front of Qin Yu, as if afraid of missing something in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yu's spiritual power flowed smoothly, without the slightest hint of obscurity. Every profound arc was drawn out perfectly, as if this array pattern was meant to be this way.

"I wonder how long it will take my son-in-law to repair one of the array patterns..."

Bai Lan was incredibly excited, her eyes filled with anticipation.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he simply couldn't believe it was real.

Given Qin Yu's current speed, even if she fails a few times, it shouldn't take too long to repair a single array pattern, right?
Everyone held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Qin Yu's actions.

"Om..."

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, as the last stroke was completed, a burst of light shone from the array stone in front of Qin Yu.

The array patterns have been repaired?!

This speed is just too fast! The elders hadn't even come to their senses yet, staring at each other in disbelief.

Bai Lan opened her mouth, about to say a few words of praise, but saw that Qin Yu had already walked to the second array pattern.

The next moment, the fluctuations of mental energy surged out again.

"My dear...my dear son-in-law, is this how you usually repair ancient formations?"

Bai Lan's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Bai Yaosha nodded, offering no further explanation, her beautiful eyes filled with longing. She desperately wanted Qin Yu to guide her on how to comprehend the ancient array's runes.

"Hehe..."

Bai Lan's lips twitched. What did her daughter mean by acting so matter-of-factly?
Or perhaps I'm overreacting?

Bai Lan glanced at the elders, who all looked dazed and clearly hadn't come to their senses yet.

Actually, this is not surprising to the elders of the Bai family. In their memory, the fastest time to repair an ancient array pattern was when the first patriarch of the Bai family, the first array master in human records, repaired an array pattern in just five days.

However, those core array patterns are not that complex!

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

What about Qin Yu?
From the beginning until the array pattern was completely repaired, it took less than a quarter of an hour, right?
"Clan leader, let me first make a copy of this array pattern."

"How dare you! Seventh Elder, don't forget your place. Do you think it's your place to make a copy?"

"Let me do it. I have been studying this formation for over thirty years, and I am faster."

After a brief silence, the elders snapped out of their daze, their eyes gleaming with fervor. They even got into a heated argument over who would be the first to try and decipher the array patterns.

If it weren't for Qin Yu and Bai Yaosha being there, they probably would have fought over this.

Bai Lan frowned. If he weren't too proud to ask, he would have wanted to compete for it.

With the clan leader's authority, surely he can't even lose to these old folks?

"Silence, don't disturb my son-in-law's repair of the array patterns."

Bai Lan gave a light rebuke, stopping everyone from arguing.

However, he seemed to have underestimated the elders' longing for the ancient array patterns. After glancing at him, the elders continued to scramble for it.

joke!

Clan leader?

I can listen to you on matters big and small, but not on comprehending the patterns of ancient formations!

The spiritual energy on the array pattern has not yet dissipated. If we can strike while the iron is hot and try to comprehend it now, we will surely be able to use Qin Yu's remaining spiritual energy to glimpse its mysteries, which can be described as achieving twice the result with half the effort!
"Elders, perhaps we should wait a little longer."

Bai Yaosha stared at the elders in astonishment. They were usually solemn and dignified, and probably few of the clansmen had ever seen them fighting like this.

but……

It's just a single array pattern. Although it's precious, it shouldn't be enough to move them so much, right?
"Ahem, you don't understand..."

Looking at Bai Yaosha's clear eyes, Bai Lan couldn't help but think of the information Bai Yaoyin had sent.

This girl has been living a life of luxury for too long and doesn't know the meaning of poverty.

Qin Yu was keen to befriend her, so he was naturally willing to devote his heart and soul to carefully guiding her in comprehending the array patterns.

But which of these clan elders didn't dedicate half their lives to the ancient formation?

Now that someone has repaired the array patterns right before their eyes, how can they remain calm?

“Clan leader, I went to the outside world to guide Master Qin in order to welcome him. You be the judge, shouldn’t I be allowed to comprehend this array pattern first?”

The Second Elder didn't care about saving face.

Old scoundrels, trying to seize the initiative?

dream!

This elder's spiritual power has been stuck at the mid-stage of the Subtle Realm for over twenty years. Once this elder comprehends the array patterns, he might be able to break through. What are you all scrambling for?
However, before the Second Elder could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by the other elders.

The elders rattled off a list of their achievements and deeds.

The contributions made by the ancient race have now become the foundation for him to be the first to comprehend the array patterns.

Bai Lan's expression was gloomy. Given their attitude, if he were to join in the scramble for the initiative, it would probably damage the clan leader's prestige.
If it weren't for the fact that the elders were still somewhat restrained and didn't interfere with Qin Yu's repair of the array patterns, he would have really wanted to take this opportunity to drive them all away.

"Om..."

Just as Bai Lan was still undecided, a fluorescent light surged up in front of Qin Yu again, and a mysterious fluctuation quietly spread out.

"It's fixed again?"

The elder was stunned, a look of disbelief flashing in his old eyes.

Compared to repairing the first array pattern, Qin Yu's speed was obviously much faster, as if she was more adept at it.
"Elder, please don't disturb my son-in-law."

After Bai Lan uttered those words, his eyes flashed, and his spiritual power spread across the first array pattern.

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

"Bah! You are unworthy to be the head of my Bai family!"

The elder and the others were taken aback, and a look of indignation rose on their old faces.

If it weren't for the fact that he kept calling him "my dear son-in-law," I would have wanted to impeach this clan leader on the spot!
The First Elder glanced over and was shocked to find that Qin Yu had already begun repairing the third array pattern. He felt ashamed at the elders' indifferent attitude towards the competition.
