"Oh, I'm stuck in this formation," Zhao Teddy said, feigning distress.
"Really? I thought you were here to experience the local culture of Asura Hall," Ye Wenxin teased, causing Zhao Teddy's expression to become even more awkward. "Truthfully, I'm trapped in this formation. If you could..."
At that moment, Zhao Teddy realized he hadn't asked for Ye Wenxin's name.
Ye Wenxin cupped her hands in greeting, introducing herself. "I am Ye Liangchen."
"Ye? Ye Liangchen?" Zhao Teddy's eyes lit up at the familiar name. He returned the gesture, saying, "I am Zhao Ritian."
Ye Wenxin feigned surprise and continued, "The bright moonlight before my bed."
Zhao Teddy responded, "Shoes in pairs beneath."
After their exchange, they both laughed heartily.
"Ah, I've been here so long, it's great to finally meet someone from Earth!"
"Me too."
The two chatted through an invisible barrier, and Ye Wenxin was thankful for it. Without the wall, Zhao Teddy might have hugged and kissed her out of excitement.
"But Brother Liangchen, daybreak is near. If I'm caught, you'd lose a fellow Earthling," Zhao Teddy reminded, wearing a troubled expression to emphasize the urgency.
Ye Wenxin wisely nodded, her lips curling into a sly smile, "No worries, I have some experience with formations."
She stepped back, examining the formation closely.
Everything has a spirit, and when used properly, it can become alive. Formations harness this spirit to create illusions and confound intruders.
Despite their complexity, all formations have a core. Finding it allows for dismantling the formation. However, breaking the core would alert Asura Hall, increasing their vigilance and thwarting Zhao Teddy's plans. Considering the options, Ye Wenxin opted for a more intricate solution.
"Have you figured it out, Brother Liangchen?" Zhao Teddy asked impatiently, watching Ye Wenxin ponder. The sky was growing light, and anyone could soon spot Zhao Teddy standing there.
Given Asura Hall's nature, he feared either becoming a cultivation tool or being killed outright, with no chance for dual cultivation.
Ye Wenxin nodded, circling around before stepping into the formation.
"Are you crazy? I can't get out, and now you're coming in!" Zhao Teddy exclaimed, on the verge of tears. He appreciated Ye Wenxin's bravery, but the cost seemed too steep.
"Don't worry, I'm here to guide you out," Ye Wenxin reassured, directing Zhao Teddy through the formation.
Right turn, right turn, left turn, forward—like drawing symbols within the formation. Zhao Teddy, disoriented, followed Ye Wenxin's confident lead. Before he knew it, he was out of the formation.
"Wow, I'm really out! Brother Liangchen, you're amazing!" Zhao Teddy marveled, attempting to drape an arm around Ye Wenxin, who deftly sidestepped.
