It was almost midnight.
The light in Susan’s room was still on.
Susan stood in front of a sand plate; she used some small wooden logs to solve a formation. The formation was too complicated; it had been more than a month, and she had yet to solve it.
A thin layer of sweat covered her face; she looked elegant under the lights.
There was a knock on her door.
It was already late at night, so who could it be?
Susan furrowed her brows and went to open the door. She was stunned when she saw who was there.
A man in a black robe and golden mask stood at the door.
“Sect Master Darby?” Susan got excited.
She could see the dragon engravings on the mask, and they looked so real; it was the real golden mask! It was the Elysium Gate Sect Master, Indomitable Darby.
Darryl, who was at the door, could see the surprise on Susan’s face. He smiled and said, “A friend of mine, Darryl, called me and said that you would like to meet me. Here I am.”

It is a unique formation, and it has 49 types of changes.”
Susan was delighted. “Do you know this formation? Could you teach me, please?” Susan asked, hopefully.
She had only seen the formation in some ancient manuals. She tried to solve it, but it had been a month, and she had not been able to do it.
Darryl smiled as he picked up a small wooden log. Then he started to demonstrate. “The key to this formation is the south-east corner. Look, you will need to do this…”
Darryl shared his knowledge about snow lily formation, as well as demonstrated the way to solve it.
In just a short while, Susan had understood the essence of the formation. She was impressed. ’’Sect Master Darby, I—”
