She knew all too well that Sun Qingyu, the young master of the Eternal Sect, was never someone so easy to get along with.
This time, Sun Qingyu agreed so readily, which naturally aroused Meng Xiaoru's suspicion.
Ye Liang didn't care about Sun Qingyu; he wasn't worthy of his concern! Ye Liang smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry. They can't cause any big trouble."
After comforting Meng Xiaoru, there was one more thing that needed to be done immediately: "Before leaving, we need to put up another sign to warn future passersby not to come near this place."
Speaking of this, Meng Xiaoru had something to say: "Isn't it true that putting up a sign might attract the attention of immortal cultivators and make them want to come and fight the Beast King? Anyway, that's what happened to Young Master Sun. He saw the sign and knew there was a Beast King here, which is why he insisted on coming here to fight it. I reminded them that the wooden sign said it was dangerous, but they didn't listen at all and even deliberately cut down the wooden sign that the young master had kindly put up."
That is indeed a problem. However, Ye Liang then told Meng Xiaoru his opinion: "I put up the wooden sign to save innocent passersby who wanted to get water to quench their thirst. People who see the sign, know that there is danger of the Beast King, and still risk entering, don't even cherish their own lives. Why should I care about their lives? I've done my best, and they can accept their fate. I don't care about their lives at all."
"I understand!" Meng Xiaoru suddenly realized that Ye Liang's words made a lot of sense.
That's exactly right. The people Ye Liang wanted to save by erecting the wooden sign were ordinary civilians who had to travel back and forth for a living. Not someone like Sun Qingyu, a domineering person who knew no respect.
Wanting to save the common people, Ye Liang's image suddenly became much more noble in Meng Xiaoru's mind. She felt that he was a truly benevolent and skillful person with a very kind heart!
"Junior Sister, why don't you carve the words as a warning?" Knowing that his junior sister loved carving her name, Ye Liang deliberately gave her this opportunity.
The junior sister was indeed very pleased with this idea, and immediately said happily to Ye Liang, "Then let's carve words on the stone this time. That way, others won't be able to easily cut it down and destroy it."
"Junior Sister, you've thought of everything. Okay. Let's do it this way. I remember there's a bluestone by the roadside ahead; let's carve the words on it. Also, the little bridge we had to cross to get here is almost a broken bridge; I'll destroy it while I'm at it. That way, with the bridge broken and it hard to cross the river, it'll be even less likely for others to accidentally wander into this place." Ye Liang had gone to great lengths to prevent more people from accidentally entering this place and dying in this extremely mysterious, abandoned ancient well where powerful beasts like the Ferocious Fish King and the Fish Demon King might appear.
This place is too dangerous.
If someone doesn't have his strength, coming here would almost certainly mean certain death.
The junior sister also remembered that blue stone. She came to the blue stone with Ye Liang and Meng Xiaoru and immediately drew her sword to carve words on the blue stone.
Blackrock City is a sword-making workshop, a place where weapons are made.
As the young lady of the Meng family in Blackstone City, Meng Xiaoru naturally knew a lot about weapons.
Upon seeing her junior sister's Xuan Sword, which could carve words on such hard bluestone with a blade as sharp as a dragon and a stroke as swift as a flying pen, Meng Xiaoru naturally knew that this sword was extraordinary!
"Junior Sister's sword is amazing! Carving words on bluestone is no different from carving words on mud." Meng Xiaoru exclaimed.
When talking about her weapons, the junior sister was naturally proud.
She said, "Sister Xiaoru, you flatter me. Actually, Ye Liang's swords can also do this kind of engraving. My swords were all made by him."
"Brother Ye is also a master weapon maker!" Meng Xiaoru was even more surprised.
Because you couldn't tell at all that Ye Liang was a blacksmith.
People who frequently forge iron will inevitably have strong arms and bodies because they have to swing hammers and exert force all the time.
However, Ye Liang's physique and refined appearance made him look like a wealthy young master, not a rough man who often forges weapons.
In front of Sun Qingyu, Ye Liang wouldn't reveal much about his background, so he casually replied, "It's alright. I'll give you a good sword in the future too. It's not difficult for me at all."
"Well then, thank you very much, Brother Ye," Meng Xiaoru replied casually.
She thought that the sword Ye Liang was giving her was at most a fine steel sword that could cut through iron like mud, which was why she dared to casually agree to it.
If she had known that the sword Ye Liang might give her was not just a fine steel sword, but possibly even a sword from a true immortal, then Meng Xiaoru would certainly not have dared to accept this gift so easily.
That's too expensive.
With the celestial weapon in hand, the junior sister quickly finished carving the inscription on the bluestone.
After taking one last look and confirming that the engraving was done properly, the junior sister was quite satisfied with her work.
Ye Liang smiled and said, "Junior Sister's inscriptions are often very useful. The inscription she carved at the limonite mine last time was very useful. This time, who knows how many people she will save."
"Hehe, hehe." Ye Liang praised her, and the junior sister was very happy.
"Hmph!" Sun Qingyu scoffed.
He really wanted to swing his demonic halberd and smash this inscribed bluestone to pieces.
Just as he was thinking this, Ye Liang, as if already anticipating giving him such an opportunity, said, "You all step back off the bridge first, and I'll break this bridge."
"Let's go. Let's cross the bridge first and wait for Ye Liang on the other side of the river." The junior sister only told Meng Xiaoru to cross the river with her first. As for Sun Qingyu, no one bothered with him.
With Ye Liang there, Sun Qingyu knew he had no chance to chop down the bluestone that his junior sister was so proud of. He glared at Ye Liang with some resentment, then turned and left, saying, "Let's go, let's cross the river first!"
