Chapter 146: Mu Jingshen
Xie Qingui said, "I am a weapon refiner. When forging a weapon for the first time, I must immediately find a suitable balance among factors such as appearance, structure, materials and durability. Only in this way can the weapon be forged to perfection."
He thought for a moment and then added, "Weapons are an indispensable item for cultivators, almost a matter of life and death, so I will not neglect them."
Ye Fei nodded in satisfaction: "As expected of Master Song Yu's personal disciple, it is truly rare to find someone with such determination."
“I went to an auction a few days ago and had the privilege of seeing Master Song Yu in person. I never imagined that he would be such a seemingly calm and collected person.”
Xie Qingui was taken aback: "Your Excellency Dongfang, are you referring to the auction held at Wugui Pavilion a few days ago?"
"Hmm." Ye Fei picked up her teacup and took a sip. "I also witnessed Master Song Yu bid 100,000 gold coins for a piece of Crimson Flame Gold Crystal wrapped in white mulberry silk."
Xie Qingui smiled and said, "That's right. My master heard that Crimson Flame Golden Crystal would be auctioned. Given the reputation of Lingyun First Auction House, it's impossible that it would only be auctioning Crimson Flame Golden Crystal. My master guessed that this Crimson Flame Golden Crystal must be different from the Crimson Flame Golden Crystal we usually see, so he went to the auction to find out."
“My master has no plans to use the Crimson Flame Crystal that was auctioned to forge a weapon yet. If you are interested, Lord Dongfang, I can ask my master for you.”
Ye Fei tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the chair. She was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, I will design a kind of thread-like concealed weapon in the future. However, this concealed weapon has very high requirements for the materials used. I still need to observe whether white mulberry silk can be used effectively."
"I will convey your thoughts to my master, please rest assured," Xie Qingui said, bowing.
"However, this white mulberry silk is extremely rare. If your master needs it to forge other weapons, then I will naturally not force him. I can only say that we are destined to be apart."
Ye Fei picked up another pastry and put it in her mouth. After finishing the pastry, she drank the remaining tea in her cup. "I have something to do, so I'll leave this plum blossom needle to you."
Xie Qin put away the sheepskin blueprints and stood up as well: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will notify you with a jade token once the plum blossom needle is forged."
"That's excellent."
Xie Qin Gui escorted Ye Fei to the entrance of Po Yue Lou, intending to watch her leave.
However, at that moment, he noticed a black figure appearing not far away and was taken aback: "What's he doing here?"
Upon hearing Xie Qin Gui's words, Ye Fei turned around and asked, "Who?"
“I saw students from our college here; they were acquaintances.”
Ye Fei followed Xie Qin Gui's gaze and saw a young man.
The boy was tall and straight, with his black hair tied in a low ponytail hanging down his back. He wore dark black clothes and had a long sword at his waist.
He seemed to be looking for something, and after glancing around the area, he hurried away.
Because her back was to Ye Fei, she couldn't see the boy's face, but judging from his figure... he must be quite good-looking.
"Who is he?" Ye Fei asked.
Xie Qingui introduced him to her: "He is an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the top disciple of the Sword Venerable Elder, Mu Jingshen."
Mu Jingshen?
Ye Fei remembered that Huang Rongyu had introduced him to her at the auction. She never expected that the young man holding the sword was Mu Jingshen.
"However, it's already late. He's either at the academy or the Myriad Swords Sect, so it's a bit strange that he'd be in Guiyuan City at this time," Xie Qingui said, somewhat surprised.
