A trace of doubt flashed across Du Yunsheng's eyes, and he asked, "If this secret book is so important, why did it disappear?"

Lin Jue said: "As far as I know, the secret book disappeared because of a fight within the Fuyuan Mansion. Back then, the two sons of the Fuyuan Mansion fought for the position of the head of the family, which resulted in the loss of the secret book."

Jiang Yujing frowned and asked, "So, where is this secret book now?"

Cao Yin was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, this secret book is in the secret compartment of my study. But over the years, I have not been able to uncover the secret."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said, "Lord Cao, in this case, why don't we study this secret book together and uncover the secrets of the Fuyuan Mansion."

Cao Yin nodded in agreement.

It turns out that this secret book records a mysterious formation called the "Eight Desolations Formation". This formation can gather the energy of heaven and earth and has boundless power. Mo Wen left this secret book to prevent the disaster of Fuyuan Mansion.

After discussing with Jiang Yujing and others, Du Yunsheng decided to set up the "Eight Desolate Formation" in the Fuyuan Mansion to ensure the peace of the family.

Du Yunsheng's eyes were like torches, and he held the yellowed secret book tightly in his hand. He said in a deep voice: "The deployment of the 'Eight Desolations Formation' is no small matter. This formation requires the power of the Eight Desolations to exert its maximum power. We must prepare carefully to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Jiang Yujing nodded slightly, with a solemn expression on her face. "Princess Du is right. Once the Eight Desolate Formation is activated, it will require the right time, right place, and right people. We need to thoroughly check the environment inside and outside the Fuyuan Mansion before we can ensure the smooth deployment of the formation."

Duke Fuyuan walked in with a serious expression and a sharp gaze. He looked around at everyone and said, "Since we have decided to set up the 'Eight Desolations Formation', I will have to trouble you all. The fate of my Duke Fuyuan's Mansion rests in your hands."

As night fell, the lights in the Fuyuan Mansion were bright. Du Yunsheng, Jiang Yujing and others gathered together to discuss the details of setting up the "Eight Desolations Formation".

Du Yunsheng said: "The 'Eight Desolations Formation' needs to be centered on the Fuyuan Mansion and extend outward for 800 miles, covering the entire Fuyuan City. We need to first determine the center of the formation, and then use this as a basis to deploy the power of the Eight Desolations."

Jiang Yujing suggested: "The center of the formation should be located in the center of Fuyuan Mansion. There is our ancestral tomb there, which is a good place to gather the energy of heaven and earth."

Duke Fuyuan nodded in agreement: "In that case, I'll have to trouble Lord Jiang to take care of it personally. The safety of Duke Fuyuan's mansion depends entirely on you."

Jiang Yujing bowed his hands in agreement, and then went to the center of Fuyuan Mansion with everyone else. They started digging the ancestral tomb, carefully sifted the excavated soil, and finally selected a piece of stone with fine texture and bright color as the center of the formation.

Under Jiang Yujing's guidance, everyone began to set up the "Eight Desolations Formation" in the Fuyuan Mansion. According to the directions recorded in the secret book, they introduced the power of the Eight Desolations into the Fuyuan Mansion, forming a huge protective shield.

After the formation was set up, Du Yunsheng said, "The 'Eight Desolations Formation' has been successfully activated, but it still needs to continue to inject the energy of heaven and earth to ensure its stable operation. We need to take turns guarding the center of the formation to prevent any accidents."

Duke Fuyuan nodded and assigned the people to guard the center of the formation. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing volunteered to take on the important task of guarding.

It was late at night, and the Fuyuan Mansion was silent. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing stood beside the center of the formation, staring at the stone, as if they could feel the powerful force contained in it.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing felt an ominous breath at the same time. They looked around vigilantly, only to see a dark shadow quietly appear.

The black shadow sneered and said, "So you set up the 'Eight Desolations Formation' here. Unfortunately, you forgot that I still exist in this world."

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

The black shadow pounced on them instantly, and Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing responded quickly. With their superb martial arts, they fought a fierce battle with the black shadow.

During the battle, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing discovered that the black shadow's martial arts were not inferior to theirs. They were secretly horrified, who was this black shadow?

At this moment, Fuyuan Gong suddenly appeared and joined the battle. His martial arts skills were unfathomable, and he suppressed the black shadow in an instant.

Seeing this, the black shadow turned into a puff of black smoke and tried to escape. Fuyuan Gong snorted coldly and dispersed the black shadow with a wave of his hand.

After the battle, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing panted and looked at Duke Fuyuan with respect in their eyes. Duke Fuyuan smiled and patted their shoulders, saying, "You did a great job. From now on, the safety of Duke Fuyuan's mansion will be in your hands."

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Yujing nodded solemnly.

……

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan sat side by side in the main seat, while Duke Fuyuan Li Yu and his son Li Ke stood below with a respectful attitude.

Li Yu was a middle-aged man with a square face and deep eyes. At this moment, he was full of smiles and said, "Princess Jing, Your Highness, I am honored that you can condescend to come to my house. What happened this morning was really a misunderstanding. Please forgive me."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Mr. Fuyuan, we witnessed your arrogance this morning. How come you have become so humble so quickly?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Yu's face, and he hurriedly explained: "Princess, you misunderstood. What happened this morning was actually because my son didn't know the rules and offended you. I have severely punished him, and now he is reflecting in the backyard."

Jiang Shaohan said calmly: "Mr. Fuyuan, since the matter has passed, we will not pursue it any further. I hope that such things will not happen again in your house in the future."

Li Ke stood aside, looking a little nervous. He said carefully, "Your Highness Prince Jing, I did do something wrong, but I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me."

Du Yunsheng looked at Li Ke and thought to herself that although this man was arrogant, he was also a talented person with great potential. She said, "Li Ke, do you know where you went wrong?"

Li Ke lowered his head and said sincerely, "Princess, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked down on you and shouldn't have talked nonsense in the mansion. Please punish me, Princess."

Du Yunsheng smiled gently: "Since you know your mistakes, then you should correct them. From now on, you must assist your father and work for the court together."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Li Ke's eyes, and he nodded quickly: "Princess, I will remember your teachings in my heart."

Li Yu looked at his son and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Du Yunsheng and said with a smile, "Princess, you are so magnanimous that I am ashamed. Today, I have prepared a table of light wine, please enjoy it."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Since Lord Fuyuan is so kind, we would be disrespectful to refuse it."

After three rounds of drinks, Du Yunsheng whispered to Jiang Shaohan: "It seems that our trip was not completely fruitless. Li Ke may be able to help us."

Jiang Shaohan smiled slightly: "Yes, his arrogance is unpleasant, but his talent and potential should not be underestimated. If we can subdue him, it will be beneficial to us."

Du Yunsheng nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Then, we must make good use of this opportunity and make him ours."
