Chapter 1414 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
After leaving the Yan family, Azhen and Xu Shan rushed to Peach Blossom Manor without stopping.
Even though they were moving fast enough, it still took them five days. They had originally planned to catch up with Shen Linsu, but they failed to do so.
When they arrived outside Peach Blossom Manor, a large crowd had already gathered, including Shen Linsu. His face was gloomy, and he was clearly in a bad mood.
Xu Shan suppressed his curiosity and went over to greet Shen Linsu: "Master Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen Linsu, whose face was originally gloomy, softened slightly when he saw that the person who came was Xu Shan, but his tone could not hide his anger: "The illusion array of Peach Blossom Manor has been changed. I have been back for half a day and I still have no clue."
He was able to return so quickly because he was basically traveling day and night and barely slept.
If he hadn't been a martial artist, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. However, he never expected to be stopped at his own doorstep upon his return. Even more humiliating, news of the intrusion into Peach Blossom Manor had already spread throughout the martial arts world, and people were gathered there to watch him arrive.
Upon seeing that it was him returning, they came forward to greet him and inquired whether there had been any problems at Peach Blossom Manor.
From the outside, everything looked fine, but when he tried to go inside to take a look, he couldn't get in.
As the owner of Peach Blossom Manor, he was naturally familiar with the illusion array and knew how to set it up. Given time, he could easily recreate the illusion array.
However, he was temporarily at a loss when faced with the illusion that had now been created.
Undeniably, the person who broke into Peach Blossom Manor must be a master of formations.
Xu Shan was also somewhat taken aback after hearing Shen Linsu's words.
You must understand that in the martial arts world today, no one can guarantee they can break into Peach Blossom Manor, not even him.
Are there really such experts?
In a flash, he thought of his own daughter; the formations in their Forget-Worry Valley were also incredibly powerful.
However, Xu Shan didn't mention that the favor he owed Shen Linsu had now been repaid. He was loyal to his friends, but Shen Linsu wasn't considered one, and he couldn't possibly expose his daughter's talents in such a chaotic situation and cause her unnecessary trouble for the sake of a so-called friend.
Moreover, the other party might be from a mysterious organization, so it's best not to get involved.
Xu Shan asked, "What should we do? Even Master Shen can't solve this formation, so who can?"
When Azhen heard this, she almost burst out laughing.
Sure enough, the client's father was quite intelligent; he wasn't the kind of saintly figure often portrayed in stories who would rush to help anyone in trouble without considering the consequences.
“The illusion array at Peach Blossom Manor is unique, and very few people in this world can master it. If so many people could, then for so many years, apart from this one time, no one would have been able to break into Peach Blossom Manor,” Shen Linsu said. “I can only figure it out myself. Besides, Yue’er’s talent in array formations is superior to mine, and I have already arranged for someone to bring her over. If my daughter and I work together, we might be able to break the array as soon as possible. Right now, we don’t know what the situation is inside.”
"It would be good if there was a way to break it." Xu Shan said. He wasn't surprised by Shen Yue's talent. He had heard that Shen Yue's talent in martial arts was only average, but he was quite knowledgeable about other things.
He quickly thought of his daughter again and silently praised her in his heart, but he thought his daughter was still more capable.
Azhen had no idea that Xu Shan was still feeling pleased with herself. She glanced into the crowd and immediately spotted a familiar face – it was Chao Xianxue, who had appeared at the Yan family's house before. Chao Xianxue wasn't alone; she had two subordinates with her, seemingly just there for the fun.
Upon meeting A-Zhan's gaze, his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he walked over and greeted A-Zhan and the others quite naturally, even showing concern for Shen Linsu. He seemed to be a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Chao, but this formation cannot be broken in a short time." One cannot hit a smiling face. Since the other party was only asking, Shen Linsu naturally would not show a bad attitude, even though he was very annoyed inside.
Chao Xianxue noticed his irritation and didn't say anything more. She wisely stepped aside, acting as if she didn't know anything and was just there to take a look.
Shen Linsu ignored everyone else and continued to immerse himself in the study of the formation.
Azhen smiled inwardly. She should study it carefully. She had already calculated the changes to this illusion array. Without Shen Yue's help, Shen Linsu alone would not be able to break it.
Outside Peach Blossom Manor, everything suddenly became quiet.
Inside the manor, Chaoyue noticed someone had entered. At first, she thought it was Shen Linsu who had suddenly returned, but then she discovered that news of the intrusion into Peach Blossom Manor had somehow spread. Others had tried to break in, but lacking the proper method, they were unable to enter.
Chaoyue didn't interfere much, only arranging for people to guard the area to prevent any accidents, and continued to have people dig the ground.
In the past five days, she has not made any progress. She also sent people to search every part of Peach Blossom Manor, but she did not find anything she wanted, even though some of the items were priceless.
But there's definitely no need to take these things; they're too conspicuous. She doesn't plan to openly confront Peach Blossom Manor yet.
She was able to be so bold this time because the hints on the Heavenly Blade were too tempting, she was well prepared, and coincidentally, Shen Linsu was going to the Yan family with his whole family.
Originally, upon seeing Shen Linsu return, she planned to leave immediately, even if she was unwilling. However, she then discovered that the modified illusion array had actually stopped even Shen Linsu, the master of Peach Blossom Manor. She saw this as a golden opportunity and ordered her men to continue digging.
She had heard what Shen Linsu had said outside, which made her feel much more at ease.
Five days have passed, and she still hasn't found the treasure mentioned on the Heavenly Blade, which is making her a little annoyed.
She already had many guesses. Could it be that the treasure had already been obtained by the people of Peach Blossom Manor?
Wait, why does the Heavenly Blade have a way to break the illusion array?
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Asahi felt a chill run down her spine.
The Heavenly Blade didn't mention that this formation was the Peach Blossom Manor's Illusionary Array; it only recorded the formation and a few ways to modify it.
She took a deep breath and felt a little relieved.
In that case, the treasure might have been obtained by the people of Peach Blossom Manor? But it's also possible that the person who hid the treasure was the ancestor of Peach Blossom Manor, since Peach Blossom Manor has existed for a very long time.
At this moment, Asahi's mind was still somewhat confused.
One moment I was wondering if the treasure was still there, and the next I was wondering why the Heavenly Blade had a record of the Peach Blossom Manor's illusion array and mentioned the existence of the treasure.
Never mind, since she has this opportunity, she'll dig three feet into the ground to see if there's anything hidden beneath Peach Blossom Manor. (End of Chapter)
