Mo Hua helped An Xiaopang draw the formation, even only charging a friendly price. Several other classmates from well-off families, but not skilled in formations, also sought Mo Hua’s help, and he agreed to help them as well.
Mo Hua had formation diagrams to draw and spirit stones to earn, so he had no interest in thinking about anything else.
Three days later, the formation homework was handed in. Instructor Yan singled out the formation patterns drawn by Mo Hua, examined them carefully, then put them into his storage bag and went to Fated Gathering to find Fatty Steward.
When Fatty Steward saw Instructor Yan, he became a little wary, “Are you here to have tea with me this time, or are you here to ask me to do something?”
Instructor Yan said, “Not for tea, nor to ask you to do anything, just to ask you about something.”
Fatty Steward breathed a sigh of relief, “Oh, that’s fine.”
“Do you still have the formation diagrams Mo Hua handed over to you?”
“Mo Hua?” Fatty Steward paused for a moment, “Ah, that young man. Yes, I have them. What are you going to do with them?”
“How many do you have?”
“Both the Bright Fire Formation and Solid Earth Formation, I have several copies. I keep them for backup.”
Fatty Steward took out one copy each of the Bright Fire Formation and Solid Earth Formation that Mo Hua had previously delivered and handed them to Instructor Yan.
Instructor Yan looked them over and then took out the formation homework submitted by Mo Hua, comparing the patterns with those on the drawings one by one.
After looking them over, Instructor Yan took a deep breath.
Fatty Steward leaned in to see and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Instructor Yan pointed at the formation patterns and the drawings at hand and asked,
“Do you think these formation patterns and these two drawings were done by the same person?”
Fatty Steward took the patterns and drawings, looked at them closely with a frown, and nodded, “The brushwork looks quite similar. Unless there’s a surprise, they should come from the same person…”
The Fatty Steward paused and then suddenly asked, “Have you met Mo Hua’s older brother?”
Mo Hua doesn’t have an older brother.”
“No older brother? Then who drew these formations?”
Instructor Yan looked meaningfully at Fatty Steward.
Fatty Steward hesitated for a moment, “You don’t mean to say he drew them himself, do you?”
Instructor Yan nodded.
Fatty Steward was silent for a moment, then scoffed,
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Let’s not talk about the Bright Fire Formation; there’s a chance he might be able to draw it, but the Solid Earth Formation contains four formation patterns. Where would he get so much divine sense from? Does he have two heads and two seas of consciousness or something?”
Fatty Steward looked suspiciously at Instructor Yan and continued,
“Are you trying to say you’ve taught a Qi Refinement third layer genius who can draw formations? Are you trying to glorify your own face… I’ve known you for so many years, you’re not that kind of person!”
Instructor Yan looked at him coldly and pointed to the formations before him, “You said these formation patterns and the two drawings came from the same person’s hand. These patterns were drawn by Mo Hua, so who drew these two formations then?”
Fatty Steward was stumped and couldn’t find the words to respond.
After staring long at the formation patterns on his left and the drawings on his right, he finally murmured, “That can’t be…”
