Luo Shifu couldn’t sleep for a whole night. The next day, he found several array masters in Tongxian City, gave them a few instructions, and then went to the Qian family again to find Qian Shifu.

“I’ve told them all that from now on, they are not allowed to make things difficult for Mo Hua. It’s best not to have any disputes with the Hunter Demon side either.”

Qian Shifu frowned, “Luo Shifu, you…”

Luo Shifu asked in return, “Old brother Qian, what are your plans?”

“You mean Mo Hua?”

“Exactly.”

Qian Shifu was slightly startled and said, “I originally wanted to befriend him. If he could serve my Qian family, that would naturally be best. If not, I hoped he would stay out of it and not help either side. If that’s still not possible, then we can only act without mercy. Once we start, life and death are determined by fate, it’s not something I can control.”

Qian Shifu told Luo Shifu about the suggestions he had given to Qian Hong.

Luo Shifu laughed coldly, “But Qian Hong acted directly and wanted to kill Mo Hua.”

Qian Shifu was stunned, then sighed:

“He is the family head, I can’t do anything.”

Qian family matters are naturally decided by the family head. Although he is an array master and an elder with a respectable status, he cannot influence the family head’s decision.

Luo Shifu’s gaze narrowed, “Then have you considered your way out?”

“Way out?”

“If the Qian family is always smooth sailing, you can naturally always be a Qian family elder. But if the Qian family falls, where will you go?”

Qian Shifu was displeased, “Shifu, your words are wrong. The Qian family has been rooted in Tongxian City for many years, how could it fall so easily?”

Luo Shifu drank his tea and didn’t speak.

Qian Shifu thought carefully, his heart chilled, and he lowered his attitude, saying softly:

“I am a Qian family elder, and also the family’s array master. I have received the clan’s favor, it’s not good to do things against the clan’s interests.”

Luo Shifu pointed out, “You are an array master, so the family favors you. If you were not an array master, would the Qian family favor you?”

Qian Shifu’s heart trembled.

He already knew this in his heart, but being in a high position, he never thought about it carefully.

Qian Shifu thought about the various cultivators in the Qian family, some guarding the house, some serving tea and water, and some bowing and serving.

These are all Qian family disciples, how much favor have they received?

If he wasn’t an array master, he might not be much better than them.

The family favors him because he is an array master, not because he is a Qian family disciple. Everything he has now, tracing back to the source, is because he is an array master.

Luo Shifu continued, “If you are an array master, even if the Qian family is weak, you will still receive favor. If you are not an array master, even if the Qian family is strong, it might not bless you.”

Qian Shifu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, “Please enlighten me, Luo Shifu.”

Luo Shifu raised an eyebrow and asked, “What is most important for an array master?”

Qian Shifu thought deeply for a moment and said, “Is it family and inheritance?”

Luo Shifu’s expression was disappointed, he sighed, and tapped the table with his finger:

“It’s the array!”

“Array masters should research arrays and seek higher array attainment. If you were a second-grade array master, would you still care about these trivial matters of the Qi Refining stage?”

Qian Shifu hesitated, “But arrays are not that easy to learn…”

Of course, he knows the importance of arrays, but without family support, without array inheritance, how can he learn arrays?

Luo Shifu looked at him and said:

“You are already considered a first-grade array master, you don’t need to rely too much on the family. The Qian family also has no higher array inheritance. What you need to do now is to find a way to advance further in arrays.”

“Luo Shifu’s words are reasonable, but how do I advance further?” Qian Shifu said.

Luo Shifu did not answer directly.

Qian Shifu connected the previous and subsequent words and thought for a bit, suddenly realizing, and slowly said, “Mo Hua?”

Luo Shifu nodded.

“But what does this have to do with Mo Hua?” Qian Shifu was doubtful.

Luo Shifu was silent for a long time, then sighed deeply, somewhat reluctantly saying:

“Mo Hua’s array level, I feel inferior myself.”

Qian Shifu’s eyes widened, “You’re not joking, are you?”

Luo Shifu’s expression was not good.

Qian Shifu then realized he had misspoken. Array masters have arrogant temperaments, no one would make this kind of joke.

“But… but how is it possible? How old is he?” Qian Shifu couldn’t believe it.

“Don’t care how old he is, the fact is the fact. The cultivation world is vast, with countless stunning geniuses. You and I have limited experience, it’s normal not to have encountered them.”

Luo Shifu paused for a moment and then said, “Moreover, he is younger, his prospects are greater, and his future achievements in arrays are even more immeasurable.”

Qian Shifu’s brows were tightly locked, and his heart was somewhat uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but hum lightly and said coldly:

“Even if he can become a second-grade array master in the future, I don’t want to fawn on him and do this kind of looking up to people!”

“You’re stupid!” Luo Shifu scolded in a low voice, “Who told you to look up to people? What you need to do is to build some good karma. In the future, when he sees you, he might give you a few pointers on arrays.”

“Learning arrays is not afraid of hardship, just afraid of going down the wrong path. If he becomes a high-grade array master, one or two sentences from him might be enough to enlighten you and save you many detours.”

“Still fawning? You’re this old, full of wrinkles, not a spirited young girl. Why would others care about your fawning?”

Qian Shifu felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed upon hearing this, but after thinking carefully, he also felt that Luo Shifu’s words were reasonable.

The first-grade array masters in Tongxian City are already at the top, and further progress is very difficult. Without inheritance or guidance from a second-grade array master, many higher-level arrays are confusing for him to learn now, with nowhere to start.

If Mo Hua can really go further and become a second-grade array master, a few pointers from a high position at that time would truly be worth his ten years of blind study.

As for face, Luo Shifu doesn’t care, what does he still care about? Compared to the great path of arrays, these matters are simply negligible.

“But…” Qian Shifu worried, “The Qian family wants to kill him, and I am the Qian family’s array master. What if he holds a grudge against me?”

“Rest assured.” Luo Shifu said, “I have seen Mo Hua. This child’s character is extremely good, and he is reasonable. As long as you don’t provoke him, he won’t vent his anger on you.”

Luo Shifu has lived for over a hundred years, and his ability to judge people is always reliable.

Qian Shifu nodded, then frowned again, “Then what should I do?”

He can’t possibly directly betray the Qian family, can he…

“Do nothing.”

Qian Shifu was stunned, “Do nothing?”

“Stay out of the Qian family’s disputes, and don’t make things difficult for Mo Hua. Also, prepare some gifts, and I will send them to him for you and explain the situation, he won’t blame you,” Luo Shifu said.

Qian Shifu thought for a long time and then breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s best, then I’ll trouble Luo Shifu.”

This way, it’s perfect for both sides, and he doesn’t have to be in a dilemma.

The next day, he went to find Qian Hong. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, he expressed dissatisfaction with Qian Hong for not listening to his suggestions, arbitrarily sending people to kill Mo Hua, and creating deep enmity.

Qian Hong was displeased, and the two of them disagreed, finally parting unhappily.

Qian Hong couldn’t go to find Qian Shifu to cause trouble again, but at the same time, he didn’t dare to offend him too much.

Qian Shifu is an elder and is about to become a first-grade array master. His words carry considerable weight in the clan.

If he were to push Qian Shifu too hard and let Qian Shifu ally with other elders, his position as family head would be difficult to maintain.

Currently, only Qian Shifu can become a first-grade array master in the Qian family, but there can be many people who can be the Qian family head, far from being only Qian Hong.

Qian Shifu also used this matter to gradually distance himself from Qian Hong.
