——(POV third person)——

"I did this to ensure your safety, please give me a lighter punishment." Formation master Tu said. If he were to lose his position in the Tianteng organization, his life as a formation master would be almost over because no one would be willing to accept him, he would also lose the benefits that he would have as a member of this esteemed organization.

Other formation masters were also pitying him a little as they thought that he only did so to keep their grandmaster and leader safe, but grandmaster Huili didn't see it that way, she knew that this type of action would only create more problems in the future.

"You seem to be mistaken." Grandmaster Huili said and every eye in the room turned to her, "I did not ask you to do such thing." She stayed silent for a few seconds and then continued.

"Even if I were to walk into the fire, you have no right to stop me." Grandmaster Huili said and reminded them that they are not here to babysit her. They could give her advice when making a decision but they couldn't make decisions for her.

All of the other formation masters bowed even lower when they now understood how wrong they were. They were sent with the grandmaster to help her in the case that she needs it and to learn more from her, not to do as they desire. They could fully understand her frustration with them and they couldn't bring themselves to question her further. Well, even if they wanted to, they didn't have any right to do so.

Li Huang didn't expect grandmaster Huili to be this sharp when it comes to understanding others but he was wrong. It seemed to him that she was aware that there was something wrong with master Tu and she decided to dispose of him before he could do any major damage. By doing this she would not only get rid of a dangerous factor in her faction, but she would also show her goodwill to Li Huang and extendedly, to the Li family.

'If I'm not overthinking about it, she could be a dangerous enemy or a resourceful ally.' Li Huang thought. At the same time, he was checking the facial features of every master there to see if he could find out something new.

Master Tu who saw that he couldn't get anything done like this, changed his strategy. This time he used another angle to appease grandmaster Huili.

"Grandmaster! I have been fateful to the organization for years, please be more lenient in your punishment!" Master Tu shouted again and pressed his forehead to the ground harder. He didn't want to lose this position, he didn't want to risk it and see what would happen.

Grandmaster Huili just looked at him for a second and waved a hand dismissively.

<script>ChapterMid();</script><br/>"Do not test my patience, this is me being lenient." She said and the other formation masters understood what they were supposed to do. That simple hand gesture from grandmaster Huili was not only to dismiss master Tu, but it also contained many formation instructions with it.

The instant grandmaster Huili waved her hand, the warding formations of the Tianteng organization changed slightly. From that point forward, the entry privilege was taken from him and he couldn't enter any of their establishments ever again. The next instant he was banished from the manor and he got ejected outside of the formation range.

Li Huang who was watching this now understood that the formations that he was working on were like toys if he were to compare them to what grandmaster Huili did. He wanted to use the peeping eye of heaven to get some more information about how it worked, but he couldn't risk it and do so in front of all these formation masters. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Just as Li Huang was marveling at the use of formations like this, grandmaster Huili looked at the other formation masters and spoke.

"You are no longer needed here." She said and every one of the formation masters bowed and left the room. They knew that right now they needed to show their grandmaster that they are not against her so they didn't argue.

Li Huang didn't say a thing and waited for the formation masters to get out of the room. This wasn't a development that he foresaw but it was a welcome one nonetheless. Now he just had to add the formation master Tu to the list of people who might want to kill him and he could come up with enough preparations for the possible confrontation.

Li Huang was deep in thoughts when grandmaster Huili turned to him and spoke.

"I have to apologize for what you had to go through because of one of our members." She said apologetically.

"The matter is already taken care of, there is no need to dwell on it." Li Huang said with a small. He knew that grandmaster Huili was trying to prevent creating animosity between them and the Li family and Li Huang couldn't agree more, such conflict would be as meaningless as it is counterproductive.

Grandmaster Huili nodded and understood what Li Huang meant by his words. Li Huang hinted that if she didn't handle this matter, there would be consequences. Of course, it would be foolish to think that you can 'test' someone from one of the nine big families and think that you won't be 'tested'.

"At the auction, you said that you have the schematics for those rings, can I see them now?" Grandmaster Huili asked. She wanted to change the subject and in all honesty, she was really interested to see if Li Huang could provide her with the schematics for those rings.

"Of course." Li Huang nodded and gave grandmaster Huili an information jade that contained the schematics. Of course, he used Qi to move the jade as it would be rude to just hand it to her.

The moment that grandmaster Huili got the information jade, you could see that she was only acting mature in her role as the leader of the Tianteng organization. Right now, she was acting like a child who got a new toy to play with.

As she was checking the information, she asked a question.

"Can I ask where you got these schematics from?" she asked without even looking at Li Huang as she was writing down some information about the formations that she was checking out.

"That is in fact my own work." Li Huang said proudly, it wasn't every day that you could show off in front of a grandmaster and Li Huang wasn't going to let this chance go by. If Li Huang were to think Like a typical main character, he wouldn't be willing to share something like this but for him who had enough power backing him, revealing it wouldn't have any bad consequences.

"Really?" Grandmaster Huili said in a tone that was not befitting of her status. Well, if you think about her age it wouldn't be that surprising.

"Of course, it took me a few weeks but I did map everything." Li Huang nodded and said. He was too proud of his achievement that he forgot for a moment that he is talking to a grandmaster in the art of formations.

"…A few weeks?" Grandmaster Huili said under her breath. She too forgot for a moment that not everyone is like her and they could get the schematics in a day or two.

Li Huang who now understood the situation better, couldn't believe that he was trying to be boastful in the art of formations in front of the only person in the world who is deemed the number one in it.

This led to an awkward silence for Li Huang who didn't know what to say and grandmaster Huili who was too absorbed in reading the schematics that she forgot that Li Huang was there.

After a few minutes, grandmaster Huili finished checking the schematics but she was confused as she couldn't figure out how it worked, it seemed to her that something was missing there.

"This is not all of the schematics, is it?" She asked.
