Chapter 188: Black Weichuan, Treasure Lotus in Bloom
Are they really that "valiant"?
And what is that resentment?
The doubt emerged in Li Ye's heart.
As the most important and unique water vein of the Four Seasons Sect, if resentment got mixed into Weichuan, no need to account for it; the True Men responsible for Weichuan's arrays would probably be utterly ashamed.
"Ah."
"Resentment in Weichuan?"
The Third Senior Brother was also very astonished, furrowing his brows and unable to comprehend: "Why would there be resentment in Weichuan? The arrays here were personally set up by the Divinity Transformation Taoist, and Nascent Soul True Men maintain them regularly..."
Seeing him so surprised, Li Ye instead calmed down.
The sunlight of Weichuan shone on his fair face, as warm and gentle as jade.
His voice was consistently gentle, yet his tone was very determined: "There is nothing wrong with my beavers, and the uncles maintaining the Weichuan arrays shouldn't have any problems either.
Could it be that there's an issue with Weichuan itself?
Such a vast river might be breeding some peculiar entities?"
These words indeed were somewhat audacious.
But the Third Senior Brother thought again and considered that perhaps things were just coincidental like this—he knew even more clearly than Li Ye how much importance the sect's True Men placed on Weichuan, especially as the maintenance of Weichuan was actually being personally conducted by the Sect Leader Uncle.
"Then let's go take a closer look, shall we?"
He reached out and patted Li Ye on the shoulder, then walked forward: "Let's go, go, go, just in case someone gets to your beaver, those little guys are really endearing."
"Alright." Li Ye naturally walked beside his senior brother, and the Third Senior Brother glanced at him, slightly dejected.
Alas, this guy's advancement speed is just too fast.
So much so that there was never any chance to put on the airs of a senior brother, or take the opportunity to protect his junior brother.
If I had known earlier, I would have gone with Junior Brother Ling Ji Vine to guard the Marketplace at Huiya.
Li Ye could somewhat guess what he was thinking.
But now that he was already a Golden Core cultivator, and this matter involved his beavers, he could no longer hide behind any senior or master brothers; it was his turn to face and handle these matters directly.
Of course, those who arrived first were the group of True Men led by True Man Lu, especially True Man Lu, who was very worried whether there was something wrong with his array causing some anomaly in the Qi Fortune Shining Gold.
If that were indeed the case, it's better for it to manifest here now than when it's already widely implemented in the future.
"This resentment seems to carry a peculiar moisture."
"Yes, it's not simply resentment; rather, it's somewhat like some rivers formed of resentment."
"Nephew Li, you understand these little ones the best. What do you think?"
The True Men remained quite composed.
Their profound accumulation and insight, along with their daily life of managing the land and tending to spirit flowers and grasses, allowed them to handle many things with patience.
Panic won't solve the problem.
When Li Ye came over, he had already used his Divine Sense multiple times to sweep over the dike; he could feel the beavers' hearts pounding, mixed with a trace of excitement and impatience.
With a stirring heart, he replied:
"In my view, it should be a good thing."
"This resentment might be an entirely new branch of the Weichuan."
"Uncles, if there's a stable river of resentment for us to purify, would that count as merit?"
The True Men exchanged glances.
Their Divine Senses weren't able to detect much, but they trusted Li Ye.
"Then go ahead and do it," Su Yu said: "The things your beavers stirred up, naturally you should solve them, and any merit will naturally belong to you too."
"As for us old fellows..."
She looked at True Man Lu with a teasing gaze: "The younger generation is striving, so why don't we sit back and watch the show?"
"..." True Man Lu couldn't help but curl his lips, then waved his hand to cast out a shimmering Array Flag, which gathered into a mountain about an acre in size in midair.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Senior Brother Lu's Jiezhi Array Mountain."
"Quick, let's go up and take a look!"
Subsequently, the True Men swiftly flew up, entering the pavilions on top of the mountain to find places to sit, leaving the area below entirely for Li Ye to freely engage.
The speed of casting off was indeed quite fast.
Li Ye, looking at the mountain, was about to rise and enter Weichuan when the disciples around him, accompanied by beavers, gathered around:
"Senior Brother, do you need us to lend a hand?"
"My beaver is doing pretty well too, if you need help, just say the word!"
"Yes, if there's anything needed, we will not hesitate to act!"
Seeing this, the Third Senior Brother, who initially planned to stay here, also silently flew to the Jiezhi Array Mountain, intending to hide in a corner, but Su Yu naturally called him over to serve tea and water.
He had no choice but to obediently serve tea and water.
There was no helping it; even though he was Li Ye's senior brother, he hadn't even cultivated for a hundred years and was in fact still a "Nephew".
And at this moment, Li Ye felt quite moved, as he solemnly said: "Dear junior brothers, if you trust me, let each of your beavers connect these dikes completely.
Since we're doing this, let's make it a big event!
Once this deed is accomplished, I will request merits for you, my junior brothers and sisters!"
With this said, the junior brothers and sisters resoundingly agreed and quickly returned to the arrays, letting their beavers build the dikes.
Li Ye then personally stationed himself on the dike of his beavers, through his connection with them, shared his strength with the beavers, forcibly suppressing the continuously surging resentment at the dike's base.
By now, he could already confirm that this resentment indeed originated from Weichuan!
However, there was still one thing he couldn't understand.
Why wouldn't Weichuan speak up? Clearly, the deities of Weichuan had been watching here all along; he could even feel, through Jianmu, the gentle caress of approval and consent from Weichuan's breeze.
