Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1837 - 831: Defiance_2

"Father! Tomorrow’s auction will feature a mysterious array blueprint from the previous dynasty. Might Father be interested?"

As a martial artist, he gathered his Qi and projected his voice outward so the person inside could naturally hear him.

Actually, they hadn’t verified whether the auction would feature array blueprints from the previous dynasty. All they wanted was for Master Ouyang to step outside the gate.

As long as he stepped out, they would gain endless benefits.

Furthermore, given the wide circulation of the news, it seemed unlikely to be false. If it were indeed a false rumor, the Family Head would erupt in fury, and someone would certainly be in trouble.

Sure enough, a deep, aged voice soon resounded from within.

"Blueprints from the previous dynasty? Tomorrow, I will appear."

With just this sentence, the man in the green long robe felt a surge of Spirit through his entire body.

Father is going to step out!

This news, this matter, would affect countless people’s interests! And they would gain untold benefits.

But before that, he needed to ensure certain people were aware of this event; otherwise, if some were unprepared, the benefits they could get would be limited.

The father has long been isolated, not engaging with the outside world. In the Capital, besides those few special individuals, others, no matter how high-ranking, could only meet him when he decided to step outside.

"Then I’ll go prepare arrangements."

Though excited inside, the robed man suppressed his emotions and retreated steadily.

Soon after, the news of Master Ouyang’s impending outing spread without restraint, prompting those wishing to curry favor with Master Ouyang to start mobilizing connections, offering benefits to other members of the Ouyang Family, smoothing relations, and arranging the timing of chance encounters.

Everything began to operate secretly, and simultaneously, people from Tianji Pavilion started narrowing their suspicion range, with some subordinate organizations, white gloves, even demons disguised in human skin, appearing around Bo Mansion, as if observing something in secret.

...

Bo Mansion.

"You want to take my array blueprint to auction?"

Ding Hui immediately raised her voice, loudly questioning.

As she spoke, Ding Hui glanced at the woman in all pink attire, with wild hair beside Fang Yu.

That playful appearance, completely contrary to the previous coldness, inexplicably made Ding Hui feel a bit uncomfortable.

Since when could a prisoner show such ease?

Having saved this person’s life, they could still kill her.

Lacking value, why keep this woman?

"It’s also to verify your array’s value."

Fang Yu murmured softly.

"I need others to prove it??"

Ding Hui raised an eyebrow, displaying an unparalleled demeanor of avoiding issues.

In her professional realm, Ding Hui was very confident, with her own pride.

Fang Yu’s move was truly having Ding Hui sell her exclusive work.

If one encountered someone who didn’t understand, that’s one thing, seeing the blueprint as a heavenly book. But if they met someone who did, her array would be learned by others - this even she couldn’t accept.

Though there are technical barriers, unique methods of combining her hand techniques and arrays.

From the array teachings in Sunset City to the special clones with Blood Demons in Thunder City, the array prototype was completed and then gradually perfected to create something truly hers.

Yet Ding Hui remains uneasy because her expertise in arrays is so shallow that masters could easily see the core, though the rest might leave them perplexed, still leaving the impression of having one’s efforts stolen.

This differs from Medicine Pills; blueprints are meant for learning and arranging arrays based on them, with a certain analytical and learning space.

But Medicine Pills, with their finished forms, are incredibly difficult to reverse trace, with firm technical barriers.

After all, which Array Master shows you the blueprint? They simply set up arrays directly, keeping blueprints for themselves unless teaching others or having someone set up an array on their behalf.

In short, this thing is valuable. Ding Hui is unwilling to auction it, feeling as if she’s selling her life’s work.

"Then perhaps you could play a trick, use another array that works but remains unrecognizable - serving as the previous dynasty’s array blueprint?"

"... Do you think the auction is for children? They likely employ Array Masters themselves. Try fooling them, and they’ll see through it instantly and throw you out."

Fang Yu scratched his head.

This aspect, he truly didn’t know well.

"Actually..."

At this moment, Zhuge Shi spoke, batting her eyes and grinning brightly.

"I have means to obtain a previous dynasty array blueprint."

Swish——

Ding Hui’s gaze immediately fixed on Zhuge Shi, with Diao Xiaohui surprisingly aligning with Ding Lake to also glare at Zhuge Shi.

For a moment, the atmosphere felt frozen.

Three women, one play.

Suddenly, Fang Yu sensed several ominous feelings.

At this moment, Ding Hui spoke.

"I’m discussing things with my husband. When is it your turn, Zhuge girl? My daughter hasn’t said anything, but Zhuge girl is very eager indeed."

Zhuge Shi’s previously smiling expression slowly stiffened, her brow furrowing.

For a long time, no one dared speak to her like this.

Those willing to challenge her ended up killed, denied the chance for wild words.

Even so, having endured several life-or-death crises, Zhuge Shi adapted to her current weakness, then displayed a cheerful smile again.

"I’m just trying to relieve Madam and Master’s worries. Since Madam doesn’t want to give out the mysterious array blueprint, even Master’s plans face difficulty like cooking without rice. Isn’t that so, Master~?"

The slightly casual "Master" made Ding Hui smile, although her eyes grew more dangerous.

The expression made Fang Yu’s heart skip. He quickly grabbed Ding Hui’s hand.

"What are you trying to do?"

"It seems like Husband really cares about Zhuge girl."

The voice directly echoed in Fang Yu’s mind.

"I did tell you..."

Fang Yu’s voice dropped.

When he returned to his room, Zhuge Shi was kept outside as he privately discussed with Ding Hui matters regarding Zhuge Shi.

This person, hunted by Tianji Pavilion with a mysterious organization behind her, linked to the Thunder Cloud Sect, led Fang Yu to hope to follow trails possibly leading to Qian Guxing.

Moreover, Ding Hui’s previous study of human skin, laboriously studying proliferation, yet an organization elsewhere having such individuals, readily dispatched for Ding Hui’s research.

Not to mention the Supreme Golden Petal Flower still unattained.

In practice and principle, such individuals must be kept and utilized first.

"I don’t plan to take Zhuge girl’s life."

Ding Hui replied cheerfully, her voice still originating in Fang Yu’s mind, while her smiling face was directed at Zhuge Shi.

Big brother, for all things, remember Zhuge Shi is a Wood Realm Peak Combat Power with Eight Thousand Blood; don’t act rashly.

"About the blueprint’s matter..."

Fang Yu began.

Unexpectedly...

"Let me try to research and forge a prior dynasty array blueprint."

"Leave it to me; my people will soon arrive and join me. I’ll arrange it then."

Both uttered simultaneously.

Both spoke truthfully, each having practical solutions.

There was no need to elaborate on Ding Hui’s ability; if she applied herself, the task wouldn’t be difficult. Despite the presence of verifying Array Masters, Ding Hui’s methods extend beyond arrays, surely capable of bluffing through.

As for Zhuge Shi’s background, her hidden organization retrieves a previous dynasty array blueprint with ease. However, this requires close contact with Zhuge Shi’s organization, which Fang Yu found troubling.

Without having understood the organization’s full scope, Fang Yu refrained from excessive actions.

"Then perhaps... Ding Hui should?"

Fang Yu hesitated, glancing toward Ding Hui.

"With a word from Husband, how could I possibly disobey."
