Chapter 522: Satisfied with the Formation Flag
Ma Yuanjin proactively asked Yang Haoran about the purpose of his visit, and Yang Haoran naturally did not continue to beat around the bush, as the conversation had reached this point.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the complete set of formation flags on the table.
"Actually, the main purpose of my visit this time is to obtain a powerful formation flag from your Ma Family, as I urgently need such a formation flag. I know that your Ma Family is highly skilled in this area, so I took the liberty of disturbing you."
When Yang Haoran said this, Ma Yuanjin and Ma Hongcheng, the father and son, looked at each other, as if exchanging something through their eyes.
The woman behind Ma Hongcheng, who was Ma Ling's mother, was also very puzzled by this.
Since Yang Haoran's visit was for the purpose of obtaining a formation flag, the Old Man not only took out a set of formation flags, but also brought out a precious elixir that he had collected for many years. Yang Haoran could have simply taken them, not only obtaining the formation flag but also a bottle of elixir. Wouldn't that be great?
However, Yang Haoran did not touch these two items, but instead explained the purpose of his visit, which left her very puzzled.
At the same time, her husband's and the Old Man's reactions also left her very puzzled. Since Yang Haoran needed a formation flag, and one had already been brought out, why were the two of them still exchanging glances?
Although she was very puzzled, Ma Ling's mother did not say anything, and just stood silently behind Ma Hongcheng.
As for Ma Yuanjin and Ma Hongcheng exchanging glances, it was because they understood the meaning behind Yang Haoran's words, and they were considering whether they should bring out an even more powerful formation flag. Fоr а bеttеr rеаding еxpеriеnсе, visit М(VLЕМРYR).
Yang Haoran noticed the reactions of the father and son, and continued to say with a smile.
"Hehe, there's one thing I need to make clear to the Old Man and Uncle. As Ma Ling's friend, rescuing her this time is something I should do. Not only this time, but if she is in danger in the future, I will also rescue her. As for those two corpse fiends, they were just a greeting gift for my visit to the Ma Family Estate. Since I was coming to visit, I couldn't come empty-handed, right? So these two matters are not bargaining chips for me to obtain a formation flag from you. I do want to obtain a formation flag from you, but my intention is to exchange it for one of equal value."
Yang Haoran spoke very sincerely, but as usual, it was a mixture of truth and falsehood.
He felt that Ma Ling was a good friend, and he would definitely do his best to rescue her if she encountered any danger in the future. This was the truth.
As for him saying that the two corpse fiends were not bargaining chips for obtaining the formation flag, this was a lie.
From the beginning, he had regarded the two corpse fiends as one of the bargaining chips for obtaining the formation flag. If the value of the two corpse fiends was not enough, he would add other valuable items as bargaining chips, instead of preparing to exchange something of equal value from the start.
Of course, in order to make it easier for the other party to accept, and to better achieve his goal, he could not tell the truth.
Ma Yuanjin and Ma Hongcheng's eye contact only lasted for a moment, and when Yang Haoran spoke again, the two of them had already withdrawn their gaze and were looking at Yang Haoran.
Hearing Yang Haoran's words, Ma Yuanjin still had a smile on his face and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! I understand the intention of Divine Envoy Yang. No need to say more, just for that speech of yours, we of the Ma Family will help you!"
Amid the laughter, Ma Yuanjin waved his hand and put away the entire set of formation flags on the table. As the formation flags disappeared, a rectangular wooden box about one meter long appeared and floated above the table.
Yang Haoran's gaze was immediately drawn to this wooden box.
The wooden box was brown in color, with mountains and rivers carved on the body, lifelike, and the corners were inlaid with gold edges. Such a exquisite box as a container indicated that the contents were no ordinary item, as ordinary things would not be worthy of such a beautiful box.
Seeing Ma Yuanjin take out this box, Ma Hongcheng's expression changed slightly, but his eyes soon returned to normal.
"Hehe, Divine Envoy Yang, please open it and take a look," Ma Yuanjin said with a smile.
Yang Haoran nodded with a smile and gently opened the wooden box with both hands.
With his abilities, he could have easily opened the wooden box with a wave of his hand, but he did not do so, instead carefully opening it with both hands. This was the minimum respect he could show to the owner.
As the box was opened, the first thing that caught the eye was a formation disc, as it was placed in the center of the box, the most prominent position.
On both sides of the formation disc were two rows of formation flags, eight in total, four on each side.
Just like the box for the elixir, the bottom of this box also had filler, with a yellow cloth covering it. Both the formation disc and the formation flags were embedded in the filler.
From this, it could be seen that Ma Yuanjin had stored this set of formation flags very carefully, and it also showed the value of this set of formation flags. If they were just ordinary formation flags, Ma Yuanjin would not have stored them so carefully.
Comparing this set of formation flags with the previous one, the difference was like heaven and earth. Although Yang Haoran had not checked the power of either set, just from the way Ma Yuanjin treated them, it was clear that these two sets of formation flags were not on the same level.
Of course, it cannot be said that the formation flags Ma Yuanjin had brought out earlier were useless waste. Since he dared to take them out as a gift for Yang Haoran, it meant that those formation flags were also not bad. It's just that compared to this set, they were far inferior.
"Yang divine envoy, how's it going? This formation flag set looks pretty good, don't you think? Why don't you try its power? I'm sure you'll be amazed by both its defensive and offensive capabilities," Ma Yuanjin said with a smile.
Yang Haoran did not touch the formation flag or formation disc in the box. Hearing Ma Yuanjin's words, he shook his head with a smile and carefully closed the box lid.
Seeing Yang Haoran shake his head, Ma Yuanjin's smile faltered, and Ma Hongcheng was also taken aback.
"What's wrong? Doesn't the Yang divine envoy like this formation flag set? I think you should try its power first before deciding. Believe me, this formation flag set won't disappoint you," Ma Yuanjin said persuasively.
"No, no, no, Old Man has misunderstood my intention. I'm very satisfied with this formation flag set. The reason I shook my head is that I don't think it's necessary to try its power. I trust you, and I also trust my own judgment," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Hearing Yang Haoran's words, Ma Yuanjin's smile grew even broader.
"Haha! I'm glad the Yang divine envoy likes it! If the Yang divine envoy wasn't satisfied with this formation flag set, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help much!"
Ma Yuanjin laughed, and it was clear from his tone that he had full confidence in this formation flag set.
"Old Man, I'm sure the Ma Family isn't short on money, so I won't embarrass myself by trying to pay with New Genesis Coins. Instead, I have..."
Yang Haoran's words were interrupted by Ma Yuanjin.
"Haha, that's enough, Yang divine envoy, you're too polite. This formation flag set and this elixir bottle are our Ma Family's gifts to you this time. Please, you don't need to give us anything in exchange."
Yang Haoran forced a wry smile, his expression becoming somewhat troubled.
"Old Man, as I said earlier, rescuing Ma Ling was something I did as a friend. The two corpse fiends were also a gift I prepared for our meeting, not a bargaining chip to exchange for the formation flag. Please don't misunderstand."
Hearing this, Ma Yuanjin shook his head with a smile.
"Since we're all friends, the Yang divine envoy doesn't need to be so polite. The fact that you can give our Ma Family such a valuable gift as two corpse fiends, our giving you a formation flag set and an elixir bottle is nothing in comparison. Moreover, if it weren't for you, my precious granddaughter would have lost her life this time. These material things are worthless compared to her life."
