Outside, the world was in chaos because of a single video, but inside the Lin Family Estate, everything remained peaceful and serene.
Lin Yuan lay sprawled across the priceless exotic-beast hide sofa in the living room.
His eyes were half-closed as he enjoyed life.
Beside him, a beautiful and slender personal maid carefully peeled a crystal-clear Purple Jade Grape brimming with Spiritual Power and gently fed it to his mouth.
“Mmm…”
Lin Yuan smacked his lips in satisfaction.
This was what life should be like!
Fighting and killing?
Doesn’t exist.
Competing for fame and profit?
Too tiring.
Lying flat was the most comfortable.
Just as he was savoring this rare moment of peace and preparing to nap again, hurried footsteps approached from afar.
“Brother! Brother! I’m here!”
The voice arrived before the person.
A petite pink figure bounced in like a happy little rabbit.
It was his genius formation master sister, Lin Ke’er.
Ever since Lin Yuan casually pointed out several fatal flaws in her prized “Nine-Bend Trapped Dragon Formation,” Lin Ke’er had completely turned into his number-one fangirl, pestering him every day with all kinds of advanced formation questions.
Lin Yuan looked at his sister rushing over, blinking her watery eyes and staring at him with a face full of curiosity, and immediately felt a headache coming on.
Annoying!
Way too annoying!
This Young Master only wanted to lie flat in peace. Who wanted to discuss formations with you?
“Brother, explain it to me again! I still can’t quite figure out that spatial node substitution theory…” Lin Ke’er hugged his arm and shook it nonstop while acting cute.
“Stop, stop, stop!” Lin Yuan sat up impatiently.
His mind turned, and he suddenly thought of a system reward from a few days ago.
The Zhou Tian Star Array · Fragmented Chapter!
Although it was only a fragment of an ancient divine formation, its complexity and depth were more than a hundred levels higher than Lin Ke’er’s so-called Nine-Bend Trapped Dragon Formation!
Got it.
The corner of Lin Yuan’s mouth curled into a barely noticeable mischievous smile.
He cleared his throat and said in a deliberately profound tone, “Ahem, Ke’er, that Nine-Bend Trapped Dragon Formation is too basic. Studying that all day is pretty boring.”
“Huh?” Lin Ke’er froze, her small mouth puffing up slightly. “That’s a top-grade Earth-tier formation. How is it basic?”
“I recently happened to obtain a fragment of an ancient formation. It’s quite interesting.”
Lin Yuan spoke slowly, deliberately teasing her curiosity.
“Ancient formation?!” Lin Ke’er’s eyes instantly lit up like two brilliant stars.
As a formation fanatic, those four words had fatal attraction for her.
“What is it? What is it? Let me see!” She urged impatiently.
“Hmm…” Lin Yuan pretended to hesitate. “This formation is called the Zhou Tian Star Array. It’s a bit profound. For your current level, it might… still be too early. I’m afraid it’ll hurt your confidence. You’d better keep studying your Trapped Dragon Formation.”
A classic provocation tactic.
Simple, but effective.
Sure enough, Lin Ke’er’s little face immediately flushed red, and she puffed out her chest defiantly.
“Brother, don’t underestimate me! I’m a once-in-a-century formation genius! There’s no formation I, Lin Ke’er, can’t understand! Hurry, give it to me!”
“Alright, alright, since you insist.”
Lin Yuan spread his hands with a “you asked for it” expression and casually transmitted the fragment’s information directly into Lin Ke’er’s mind with divine sense.
Buzz—!
An incomparably vast, complex, and profound torrent of information instantly flooded Lin Ke’er’s consciousness.
Just a single foundational formation rune at the beginning contained tens of thousands of variations, involving space, time, stellar power, and countless profound laws!
Lin Ke’er froze completely.
A full minute passed.
Only then did she suddenly snap back to her senses.
Immediately afterward, she let out an excited scream louder than ever before!
“Divine… divine miracle! This is the true formation of the gods!”
She didn’t even look at Lin Yuan again, turning around and rushing toward her personal Formation Training Room while shouting like a madwoman as she ran, “No way! I must figure this out! Nobody disturb me!”
Watching his sister’s “qi deviation” retreating figure, Lin Yuan lay back down in satisfaction.
Done.
By his estimate, with this girl’s level, it would be absolutely impossible for her to grasp even a little of this fragment without at least ten days or half a month.
The world was finally quiet.
However, this thought didn’t even last three seconds.
The crisp sound of high heels tapping the floor approached from afar.
His business-elite sister, Lin Mengyao, walked over with her arms crossed, stepping forward with queen-like strides.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
Lin Mengyao circled the sofa once, looking down at him with a teasing smile.
“Our Young Master here is now the capital’s hottest celebrity. Even sleeping at school can land you on the top trending searches.”
She waved the light-brain in her hand, the screen playing the video of Lin Yuan making Huangfu Zhuo kneel with a single glance.
“Explain it to me. How did you scare that arrogant Huangfu Family genius into losing control with just one look?”
Lin Yuan didn’t even bother lifting his eyelids. He took another Spirit Fruit from the maid and chewed slowly.
“Explain what? There’s nothing to explain.”
He swallowed the fruit and said in a flat, matter-of-fact tone, “He’s just too trash. Can’t handle being scared.”
Lin Mengyao choked on his Versailles-style reply and couldn’t help laughing and crying at the same time.
Lin Yuan paused, as if thinking of something, then added casually, “If the Huangfu Family’s juniors are all like this. Then I’d say the Huangfu Family isn’t far from collapse.”
