Chapter 189: Her Ambition
Song Yu stood behind Xie Qin Gui, looked around, and stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Qin Gui, do you have a girl you like?"
Xie Qin Gui's handsome face flushed red, and he dared not look at Song Yu's face: "Master! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Song Yu glanced down at the boy's flushed cheeks, a slight smile playing on his lips, but didn't expose him: "Hmm, I was just talking nonsense. I heard from the other workers that Lord Dongfang came to Poyue Tower to find you, was it to forge weapons?"
Xie Qingui nodded: "Yes."
Song Yu said, "Yes, this is a good opportunity to hone your skills. You still have a lot of room for improvement in weapon crafting."
Xie Qingui nodded, then suddenly asked curiously, "Master, you have never met Lord Dongfang. What do you think of him?"
Song Yu turned and walked into Poyue Tower with his hands behind his back, and Xie Qingui quickly followed.
After a long pause, Xie Qingui heard the man say calmly, "I have seen the weapon design drawings of Lord Dongfang, and I can conclude that no one in the world today has her talent."
"Qin Gui, this Lady Dongfang is no ordinary person. She has considerable ambition, but she also has the resources to support it."
Xie Qingui pondered Song Yu's words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Master, are you worried about Lord Dongfang's character?"
Song Yu turned to look at Xie Qin Gui's spirited face.
That Lord Dongfang's whereabouts are too suspicious. Although he values Qin Gui highly, he has never truly opened his heart to Qin Gui, and even his true appearance is concealed.
This was his most prized disciple, and as his master, how could he possibly want to see his student fall into the tiger's mouth...
"You don't know her completely. In my opinion, you are just business partners, not friends yet."
Song Yu patted Xie Qin Gui on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Qin Gui, you are inexperienced in the ways of the world, but you must understand one thing: the most dangerous thing in this world is not the strong, but the human heart."
Xie Qin Gui clasped his hands and said, "Master, I understand."
"It's good that you understand." Song Yu flicked his sleeve and turned around: "I will be going into seclusion for a while, so I will leave the affairs of Poyue Tower to you and your fellow disciples."

After returning to Lingfeng Academy, Ye Fei spent all her time in her dormitory, either meditating and cultivating or learning how to condense spiritual energy in her spiritual space.
Although Lian had been guiding Ye Fei the whole time, after several days, Ye Fei still couldn't grasp the knack of condensing spiritual energy.
Lian gently patted Ye Fei's head comfortingly: "Little Fei, learning to condense spiritual energy is not an easy thing, don't be discouraged."
Ye Fei shook her head: "I'm not discouraged. Let's take it slow. If I can't learn it in one day, I'll try for three days. If I can't learn it in three days, I'll try for five days. I'll learn it eventually."
Despite saying that, Ye Fei still didn't feel very confident.
Hopefully, it won't take her too long to learn how to condense spiritual energy. Firstly, taking too long would affect her plans, and secondly, she still needs to refine pills to suppress the fire poison for Li Yuan, which is definitely not a simple task, both in terms of the medicinal materials and the difficulty of refining.
Ye Fei took a deep breath, banished these thoughts from her mind, and continued to bury herself in studying the condensation of spiritual energy.
Late into the night, Ye Fei finally managed to condense her spiritual energy into a strange, unrecognizable shape.
She excitedly woke the drowsy Lian: "Get up and take a look!"
Lian rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he saw the strange object in Ye Fei's hand that was barely recognizable as a pill-refining furnace, he opened his mouth in surprise: "Holy crap..."
