Hearing Mo Lan's tone and seeing her calm expression, which lacked even the hint of perfunctoriness, Qin Su suddenly felt a surge of irritation.
“Miss Mo Lan is right. This matter was indeed not influenced by personal feelings; it was all about interests. I misspoke.”
"It doesn't matter,"
Mo Lan looked up at him, wondering why he was angry.
Qin Su stood up. "Sorry to bother you, farewell."
He shouldn't have come at all; people might even be laughing at him for being presumptuous.
The more Qin Su thought about it, the angrier he became. If it weren't for his appearance, he would have kicked a rock to pieces.
Watching Qin Su's retreating figure, Mo Lan stroked her pointer, blinked, and became increasingly convinced that her guess was correct: he was angry.
Otherwise, my feet wouldn't feel so heavy.
Although she didn't know why, she figured it must have something to do with her, but she wasn't too concerned about the specifics.
The midday sun was still quite strong, but the sunlight filtering through the leaves was warm and pleasant, not too hot. Mo Lan found a relatively flat rock, leaned against it, chewed on a blade of grass, and closed her eyes to rest.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather has turned completely summer. Fortunately, there are many trees in the mountains, so the heat is not unbearable.
At the same time, their first batch of armor was also completed.
The design was personally created by Mo Lan. It's a complete set, featuring a helmet with a hairpin-shaped fin, front and rear breastplates that extend to the shoulder blades, and elbow and wrist guards. It's lightweight and flexible, and would be too heavy to wear all the time.
It was dark and gloomy, exuding a cold aura.
As soon as the finished product was ready, Mo Lan couldn't wait to have Lei Zi and the others try it on. They were in charge of security, and having the armor on them was a good opportunity to test its durability and practicality.
"You all need to keep your clothes on properly, and don't take them off. I want you to tell me how you feel later, and if there's anything that's uncomfortable, we'll make improvements."
"Don't worry, boss. But I think everything is fine now. I never knew armor could be made like this."
Lei and the others accepted it with smiles, jumping around every day. Fortunately, when they first started training, they had to tie sandbags to their legs and arms, so these things didn't feel too heavy for them.
Even though Mo Lan used her as a guinea pig, she didn't complain.
That morning, she had just come out of the boiler room when she saw Han Shuang pacing anxiously back and forth at the door.
"What's wrong?" It's rare to see the usually unwavering Frost get anxious.
"Boss, I believe the iron mine at Tianjiao Peak has been exposed." Han Shuang looked at his master seriously and recounted what he had heard in Ye County.
"I overheard someone mentioning iron mines by chance, so I paid special attention and discovered that many unfamiliar faces have suddenly appeared in Ye County recently. These people are different from the usual merchants. They have a solid foundation and a powerful aura. They are obviously martial arts practitioners, and their identities are probably not simple."
"Although they didn't say the exact location, there's probably no other place like it around here besides Tianjiao Peak."
"Don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. We need to plan carefully. As long as we defend well, we have a chance of winning."
Hearing the news brought by Han Shuang, Mo Lan narrowed her eyes, drew the teaching whip from her waist, and unconsciously stroked it.
