Heaven Defying Formation Mage

Chapter 199 All kinds of temptations
Yin Yanxing's problem must be resolved, but Mo Xingnian, who has points in Meiyuan, will not refuse anyone.

After some haggling, Mo Xingnian hit Fei Zhengxuan mercilessly, but before she had time to talk to Senior Brother Yin, a student from Tianqi Juyuan came to tell her that someone wanted to see her.

To Mo Xingnian's surprise, it was Elder Qin who wanted to see her.

Not long ago, Mo Xingnian saw Elder Qin as a plump woman with a well-maintained face in her early thirties, but it has only been a short period of more than a month, and the Elder Qin in front of him is like a different person.

He looked haggard, his cheeks were so thin that even his cheekbones protruded, his body became even more slender, and the clothes that originally fitted him felt a little empty now.

Mo Xingnian looked at Elder Qin's hair that had suddenly turned gray at the temples, and felt bitter in his heart.Speaking of which, Elder Qin is just a poor man who was implicated.Baili Changsheng was wrong, but his relationship with Elder Qin was right.

Elder Qin was sitting by the bed at this time, looking at the misty Apocalypse Platform from a distance through the window, his eyes seemed to hide endless sorrow and longing.Although she sent someone to call Mo Xingnian, it seemed that she had no intention of speaking.

"Elder Qin." Mo Xing saluted politely, and then stood quietly aside.

Eyelashes trembled, Elder Qin turned his head and looked at Mo Xingnian quietly: "You are here."

Nodding his head slightly, Mo Xingnian had a slightly apprehensive and cautious expression on his face, which was just right.

"One month ago, a major event happened in Spring City, did you know?" Elder Qin looked at Mo Xingnian carefully, and spoke slowly.

This scrutinizing and probing gaze was undisguised, which just proved that Elder Qin already knew something.Mo Xingnian seemed taken aback, her face was full of doubt and uneasiness, she raised her eyes timidly: "I...I know." She swallowed and grabbed the skirt of her shirt with both hands.

Seeing Mo Xingnian's admission, Elder Qin chuckled lightly.Even though there was a smile on his face, Elder Qin was still immersed in a state of sadness: "I know you know. I came to you today to ask a few things. You can tell me the truth, okay?"

Although it was a questioning tone, Mo Xingnian could not refuse the meaning inside and outside the words.

Smiling wryly in his heart, but still maintaining a reserved attitude on the surface, Mo Xingnian nodded cautiously: "What does Elder Qin want to ask?"

"The night Elder Baili was killed, you said that you saw a man in black with silver star marks on his forehead." Elder Qin paused, looked at Mo Xingnian without blinking, and said slowly, "Can you draw this for me?"

Draw it?Mo Xingnian was stunned.

"What? Difficulties?" Elder Qin asked gently, but his eyes were extremely sharp and cold.

Mo Xingnian shook his head in embarrassment: "No, it's just... I've never studied calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid..."

I see.Elder Qin smiled: "It's okay. As long as you try to draw what you saw that night." After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the right.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone have already been prepared, it seems that it is not a temporary idea, but a long time ago to verify whether he has really seen the silver starlight.Mo Xing nodded his head, thinking to himself.Nearly two months later, Elder Qin didn't look for him early or late, so why did he call him now and ask him to draw what he saw that night?It must be related to the matter between the Qisha Gang and Qixingtai that night in Chundu!

Analyzing carefully in his heart, Mo Xingnian made a memory on his face, holding a brush to stop and draw, and smearing it from time to time.

After wasting six or seven sheets of paper, Mo Xingnian finally finished the painting.Scratching her head and looking at her work, she obviously felt a little embarrassed, and hesitated whether to hand it over to Elder Qin.

Elder Qin collected all the scrapped paper of Mo Xingnian's paintings, then looked at Mo Xingnian's completed works with a frown, and reached out to pick them up.

"Is such that?"

"Hmm..." Mo Xingnian blushed, and explained embarrassingly, "It should be like this. The line here is a bit thicker, and the crossed ink dot is unnecessary..."

The quality of teaching in Meiyuan is really getting more and more convoluted, even the basic calligraphy and painting are so bad, it's uneven and straight!Elder Qin's heart suddenly moved. While looking at the picture scroll, he said casually: "Xing Nian, are you a Nian? Maybe you can help me draw a diagram of the formation?"

At this time, Mo Xingnian's hands were stained with ink, and even a few small ink spots were splashed on the skirt of his clothes. She wanted to refuse, but Elder Qin's seemingly casual words let her know that this was another test.

Half an hour later, Elder Qin's face was blackened by Mo Xingnian's success, and the friendly attitude he had pretended to be was completely gone.Holding a stack of scrapped papers in her hand, she stared fiercely at the innocent culprit: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Mo Xingnian's face was stained with ink here and there. Fortunately, her skin was already dyed black, so even adding a little more black would not make much difference.Carefully putting the writing brush in her hand back on the pen stand, she explained with great embarrassment: "Elder Qin, I really didn't mean it, I'm not used to using a writing brush, so..."

Seeing Elder Qin's face as black as the bottom of a pot, Mo Xingnian carefully asked for advice: "Why don't you bring out some more paper, and I will try my best to help you finish drawing this formation?"

Who cares what formation diagram you draw!Elder Qin put his face on Han Yun, and simply stopped making excuses, and asked directly: "What do you mean you are not used to using brushes? Don't you use it to draw formation diagrams on weekdays?"

Mo Xingnian's cheeks flushed again, and he rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "It's okay to use pen and ink once or twice, but as a minder, you have to practice formation diagrams frequently, and if you use brushes all the time, it will cost you a lot of money." So... I usually use charcoal."

Are the disciples of Hanchi Plum Garden already so poor now?Just as Elder Qin was about to question, he suddenly remembered the information about Mo Xingnian, and indeed mentioned that the other party was just an accompanying maid from a small family in the border town of Muhan Country. In this way, Mo Xingnian's explanation is reasonable.

His expression relaxed, Elder Qin signaled Mo Xingnian to sit down, and continued to ask: "Did you see anything on the night when the Qisha Gang and Qixing Terrace clashed?"

"I saw a lot of people, menacing..."

"Then did you see Elder Bai presiding over the Qixing Terrace's protective array?"

Mo Xingnian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "We ran away in the crowd, and we don't know what happened to Qixing Terrace."

"Why did you run away from such a rare opportunity?" Elder Qin was puzzled.

"I'm afraid that if we really fight, we will be injured by mistake."
