Chapter 317: 316. Setting up a Formation

Seeing Luo Shu’s unexpected return to the Divine Doctor Family, everyone was a bit surprised. Could it be that someone secretly informed her?

Noticing the odd looks on everyone’s faces directed at her, Luo Shu was full of astonishment, "What are you all staring at me for? Are you not pleased with my return?"

"Who asked you to come back?" Luo Xiuran swept a glance over everyone and asked.

At these words, Luo Shu’s astonishment deepened even further; she looked at everyone and said, "Has something happened at home?"

"No!" Everyone quickly shook their heads, denying it. In their minds, they were thinking about how to get Luo Shu to leave the Divine Doctor Family sooner.

"You’re definitely hiding something from me. We’re a family, and I hope you can tell me what’s going on. If you don’t consider me as part of the family, then it’s fine not to tell me." Luo Shu’s face showed a hint of sadness, her eyes slightly reddened. What on earth had happened?

Lu Hanmo reached out and pulled Luo Shu into his arms, gently patting her back, "Don’t be upset, you still have me!" Although he knew Luo Shu was pretending, seeing her like this still made him feel distressed.

"They all treat me like an outsider; I am so heartbroken..." Luo Shu sobbed in Lu Hanmo’s embrace.

"Shushu, don’t cry, how could daddy consider you an outsider?" Seeing Luo Shu in this state, Luo Xiuyi was both anxious and pained. However, without his elder brother’s permission, he felt it wasn’t right to divulge anything. Moreover, his brother’s intention to keep Shushu in the dark was for her safety.

"We haven’t treated you like an outsider, Shushu please don’t cry." Luo Qianyu looked towards Luo Xiuran, her eyes asking him. Maybe it was time to tell Shushu everything.

Luo Xiuran, upon seeing Luo Shu’s manner, felt a wave of discomfort in his heart as well. After a long moment, he nodded. He hoped Shushu would understand their good intentions and leave quickly once she knew the reasons.

Receiving Luo Xiuran’s consent, Luo Qianyu turned to Luo Shu and said, "It’s the Feng Family—they’ve come knocking, hoping we would hand over the Plum Blossom Space to them. I lied to them, saying we had the backing of True Cultivation Families, which made them leave."

Luo Shu lifted her head from Lu Hanmo’s arms, looking incredulously at everyone,"Why has the Feng Family come knocking at this time? How did they know that we possess the Plum Blossom Space?" In her previous life, it was supposed to be two years later that the Feng Family made their move. Why this sudden deviation? Could it be a butterfly effect triggered by her rebirth?

Seeing that her face showed no signs of having cried, everyone realized they had been duped and felt a sense of resignation.

"It must have been leaked by the Ghost Doctor Sect and Medicine Valley; they have already been exterminated." Luo Qianyu said.

The shock was clear in Luo Shu’s eyes, "The Ghost Doctor Sect and Medicine Valley have been wiped out?!" In her previous life, she had attended a medical competition held by the three sects together; it was unbelievable that there would be such a drastic change in this life.

Luo Xiuran nodded, his expression grave,"The Feng Family doesn’t know of your existence; they won’t come looking for you. Shushu, you and Hanmo should leave as soon as possible."

"Big Uncle! I know you mean well, but how could I possibly leave at a time like this? The Divine Doctor Family is my home!" Luo Shu looked resolutely at Luo Xiuran. She was part of the Divine Doctor Family. How could she abandon her family to save herself when they were facing life-or-death peril?

"Shushu, if you are alive, even if our family is truly wiped out, there will still be a glimmer of hope." Luo Xiuran tried to persuade her.

"Big Uncle! My mind is made up!" Luo Shu looked at Luo Xiuran, her face full of determination.

"My feelings are the same as Shushu’s," Lu Hanmo spoke up. Wherever Shushu went, he would follow. If she died, he would never live alone.

Luo Shu extended her hand and gripped Lu Hanmo’s hand, offering him a grateful smile, then turned to Luo Xiuran and said, "Once the Feng Family’s people return, they will definitely send someone over to probe us. Hanmo understands formations, and we can set up a formation around the perimeter of the Divine Doctor Family’s territory. That way, whether it’s the Feng Family or any other True Cultivation family, they won’t dare to act rashly." The original formation of the Divine Doctor Family was just an ordinary one, but if a true cultivation formation was set up, the effect would be different altogether.

"This is a good idea!" Luo Qianyu agreed. He had also thought of this method, but the family disciples who learned formations had very limited skills. Even if they set one up, it wouldn’t be much stronger than the current formation. It might even give the impression to the Feng Family that their supportive family hardly mattered, unable to set up a decent formation.

Luo Xiuran also nodded, then looked at Lu Hanmo and asked, "Hanmo, what level of formation can you set up now?" If the level was too low, it wouldn’t serve to deter the enemy.

"Mid Level Formation, and if I use Spirit Stones to set it up, the level can be even higher," Lu Hanmo said.

"That will do!" Luo Xiuran nodded, smiling. If Lu Hanmo really could set up a Mid Level Formation, the Feng Family would definitely not dare to act rashly.

"Other than Spirit Stones, what materials do you need?" Luo Shu looked at Lu Hanmo and asked.

"I just need some Formation Flags, which I can handle," Lu Hanmo confidently stated.

Luo Shu nodded, smiling, and took out all the Spirit Stones she had on her and handed them to Lu Hanmo, "Are these Spirit Stones enough?" She could find more Spirit Stones if necessary; the family must be protected at all costs.

"These are enough," Lu Hanmo replied, nodding. "Let’s go craft the Formation Flags."

"Okay!" Luo Shu smiled at everyone and, holding Lu Hanmo’s hand, headed towards her room.

Once inside the room, they immediately entered the Plum Blossom Space.

The Plum Blossom Space was abundant in spiritual energy, which made the Formation Flags crafted there contain a hint of spiritual energy, making the formation that would be set up even more effective. Moreover, there was a special place for Talisman Crafting within the palace.

While Lu Hanmo crafted the Formation Flags, Luo Shu didn’t remain idle either; she began to cultivate while crafting talismans. Her level in Talisman Crafting had reached Mid Level Late Stage, and the Attack Talismans she crafted could inflict severe injuries on Foundation Establishment Cultivators, if not claim their lives.

A day and a night passed in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu arrived at the council hall, everyone was already there waiting.

"I have crafted the Formation Flags. Setting up the formation will take about ten shichen," Lu Hanmo began. He had already worked out a plan for setting up the formation based on the topographic map Shushu had provided the day before.

"Do you need help?" Luo Xiuran asked with a smile. He felt much better than the day before. It turned out Shushu truly was their Divine Doctor Family’s lucky star.

"No need! I can do it all by myself," Lu Hanmo declared confidently.

"Good lad!" Luo Xiuyi heartily patted Lu Hanmo. He was becoming more and more satisfied with his future son-in-law.

"I’ll get started on the formation now," Lu Hanmo nodded to everyone and started heading out. Once he had set up the formation, perhaps his future father-in-law would be so pleased that he’d agree to move up the wedding date.
