Chapter 172: She Wants to Be Stronger
Yu Mei returned to the Qin residence, and in the courtyard, Zhen Tianyi was still instructing the Second Son of Qin family on swordsmanship.
She could see that Zhen Tianyi indeed appreciated the Qin family’s boy and was interested in epting him as a disciple.
However, the man couldn’t ovee the hurdle in his heart, which was why he proposed a knife forging test.
“He gave that young man from the Qin family a glimmer of hope, but isn’t he also trying to sever his own attachments?” Yu Mei sighed, her expression mncholic.
Having experienced the difficulty of forging a second identical weapon at the Divine Workshop when she was in Imperial City, Yu Mei, even with hints and intelligence provided to Qin Feng, still didn’t hold high expectations.
“If it doesn’t work out, perhaps I’ll have to resort to more forceful methods. If his life is threatened, I wonder if that old man will loosen his tongue.” Yu Mei mumbled to herself.
“But that old man is formidable too. I don’t know if it will be sessful,” she contemted the feasibility of her n.
The master of the Divine Workshop, Yuan Zhai, appeared to be just a craftsman on the surface, but his strength was not to be underestimated.
There were even rumors in Imperial City that Yuan Zhai’s strength might rival the thirty-six stars of the Demon ying Department.
Although this im needed verification, Yu Mei believed it wasn’t far from the truth.
Even though Yuan Zhai had never personally taken action,Yu Mei had the opportunity to see him wield a hammer for forging.
When that iron hammer struck, it created a powerful wind, and with each blow, the workshop floor would tremble.
The weight of that iron hammer must have reached an incredible level.
However, someone who could effortlessly wield such an iron hammer couldn’t be weak.
Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Yu Mei wouldn’t resort to threatening the old man.
It wasn’t fear of his strength; after all, she was not far behind in rank among the thirty-six stars.
The main reason was that, aside from being a bit stubborn, the old man was a good person and had a wide circle of friends.
Threatening such a person for her selfish desires would make her feel guilty.
But if she gave up this opportunity, when would that blockhead finally enlighten himself?
Yu Mei sighed again, “I hope that young man from the Qin family can give me a pleasant surprise.”
Just then, she sensed movement outside the Qin residence, “Is he back?”
At the gate, Qin Feng appeared excited, “Once Senior Yuan forges the weapon and we go through the knife bestowment ceremony, my second brother will officially be the disciple of Senior Mad de.
I need to inform Senior Mad de about this news and write down those required materials as soon as possible today.”
Just as he was thinking this, a breaking wind sound came, and a sh of white light appeared before him.
Lan Ningshuang looked at the revealed long white legs, frowned, hesitated, and then decided to remain silent.
“How did it go?” Yu Mei asked with a somewhat anxious tone. She knew the likelihood of failure was high but wanted to believe in that faint glimmer of hope.
Qin Feng smiled, “Mission aplished!”
Yu Mei, upon hearing this, first stared nkly and then expressed surprise, “Really?”
“I rushed back just to bring this news. Senior Yuan has said that I should bring the materials for forging the knife next time I visit him. I’m nning to go find Senior Mad de.” Qin Feng truthfully replied.
Hearing this, Yu Mei’s eyebrows curved like crescent moons. She patted his shoulder and whispered, “Well done. If you need anything in the future, find me.”
“Ah.” Qin Feng looked bewildered, then sighed in his heart. Senior Yu really had it tough.
Lan Ningshuang returned to the pavilion by theke, and the white figure stood on top of the pavilion.
Liu Jianli furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and her ck hair floated without any wind.
A powerful aura swept around her as the center, but it stopped just before leaving the pavilion.
Theke surface rippled with continuous waves, vegetation was trampled, and small white marks appeared on the stones.
After a moment, everything returned to calm, and Liu Jianli lightly stepped on her tiptoes, descending slowly.
Lan Ningshuang approached with a somewhat worried expression, “Miss, about your health—”
Liu Jianli shook her head, “It’s alright. Why did youe back so early today? Huband?”
Mid-sentence, Liu Jianli blushed slightly, as bright as the peach blossoms in spring. She wasn’t mentally prepared and changed her words immediately, “Did he not go to listen to the Listen To Rain Pavilion?”
Upon hearing this, Lan Ningshuang narrated everything that happened during her absence.
The woman in white nodded slightly after hearing the story, “So, the two people fromst night invited him to join the Demon ying Department.”
“Miss, even though the young master is only responsible for treating injuries in the Demon ying Department, with his strength, if he encounters powerful monsters and demons, it could be dangerous. Anyway, I don’t want the young master to join the Demon ying Department.” Lan Ningshuang expressed her concerns.
“Powerful monsters and demons will be handled by other members of the Demon ying Department. Many experts are in the Bureau.
Even my master once said that even if he joins the Demon ying Department, in terms of strength he would probably only rank around the top ten. And that’s if he overestimates himself.
So, you don’t have to worry too much.” the white-d beauty said confidently.
“Moreover, he has you to protect him,” Liu Jianli added after some thought.
“Although that’s true, Miss, the experts in the Demon ying Department can’t always stay by the young master’s side. If not for Senior Zhen Tianyi and othersing to the rescue during the invasion of Jinyang Cityst time, with my strength alone, I wouldn’t have been able to protect the young master.” Lan Ningshuang said with her lips pressed together and fists clenched.
The more she learned about this world, the more she felt her own weakness and powerlessness.
Liu Jianli, seeing this, opened her mouth slightly but didn’t know how tofort her.
After a few moments, Lan Ningshuang took a breath and said, “Miss, supervise my cultivation today.”
“Alright!” Liu Jianli lightly opened her red lips. Soon, a figure in blue robes gracefully moved onto the surface of theke and stood silently.
Liu Jianli looked at the figure on theke, lost in thought.
So, he joined the Demon ying Department. Thinking back to that day in Jinyang City, with strong enemies appearing one after another amid the storm and thunder, it was indeed a formidable situation.
Facing the enemy with peculiar abilities that can devour the void,
She initially intended to resolve it within a short time and return to Qin Feng’s side for protection.
However, the two sides fought for a long time, and neither could ovee the other.
Moreover, she faintly felt that the opponent had not exerted their full strength.
Demons and Ghosts are rampant in the world. In areas where humans dared not tread, deep in the mountains, on the summit of clouds and mist, in the depths of the sea, powerful enemies like this were everywhere.
Furthermore, beyond the Four Regions of The Great Qian Dynasty, there were the watchful eyes of foreign tribes.
The Sword Intent at the fifth level of the Myriad Gods Realm was considered transcendent in the eyes of ordinary people.
But for her, it seemed like just another starting point.
To protect that person, she needed to be even stronger.
Powerful enough to y any monster or demon in the world.
And this idea intensified even more upon learning that Qin Feng had joined the Demon ying Department.
“Third grade. Just wait a bit longer.” she sighed quietly, disappearing into the wind.
