Qin Mo was at his wit's end; this was the limit of his shamelessness. After all, he was a prince, and he couldn't possibly throw a tantrum, cry, or roll around on the ground.
"Qin Mo, you've really shown your face this time. Let's see who dares to cause us trouble now." After everyone dispersed, Xu Luo and Qu Huan walked over and said excitedly.
"There's always trouble, and here's one right now," Qin Mo said, pointing to a pile of stones and rubble, looking quite annoyed.
"Don't worry! The two of us will help you fix it. Old Qu knows the art of construction."
Qin Mo looked at Qu Huan, who nodded. "My father once worked in the Imperial Workshop, where he was in charge of palace construction and the making of utensils. I learned some of it when I was young. I wouldn't dare say I can build a grand hall, but building a residence would be quite easy for me."
Qin Mo's eyes lit up, and she said with a mischievous smile, "That's great, we'll build him a magnificent residence."
In the following days, Qin Mo erected scaffolding on the right side of the fourth row using thin wooden poles. He also had his men outside the temple purchase a large amount of hemp cloth, timber, bricks, and tiles. The hemp cloth obscured everyone's view, and no one knew what the three of them were doing inside.
The construction of the house by Qin Mo and the others took longer than expected, and everyone gradually became suspicious. The houses in Xizhou were all built of stone; although the stones were heavy, it shouldn't have been a problem for Qin Mo, so why was it taking so long?
Bashir also sensed something amiss, but Xu Luo guarded the scaffolding all day, forbidding anyone from peeking into their Great Xia's secret "construction techniques," leaving Bashir helpless. Just as he couldn't resist going to find the Holy Maiden, the house... was completed.
The entire house used very little stone only in necessary places; the rest was in the style of the Great Xia Dynasty, with carved beams and painted rafters, colorful lacquer, bright colors, and exquisite wood carvings, which greatly impressed the onlookers. The collision and fusion of Eastern and Western architectural cultures broadened their horizons.
"Qin Mo, are all the houses in your Great Xia like this? They're so beautiful..." Kelly kept asking Qin Mo questions as she looked at the bright hall and the beautiful embroidered pavilion.
"Oh! Mostly yes, but my skills aren't up to par. There are many buildings in Great Xia that are far more beautiful than this. You must visit Great Xia sometime; its capital is the largest city in the world..." Qin Mo boasted about Great Xia's architecture while secretly thinking, "Great Xia also has thatched houses... I can't say... I can't say..."
Not everyone appreciates the house's oriental charm; Bashir and Morse, for instance, are furious.
The entire cultivator community consists of uniform stone dwellings, with any differences falling within the architectural style of the Western Continent. Now, a house with an exotic flair has suddenly appeared... what will be the consequences?
From then on, all new cultivators would inevitably ask about the origin of this building, and then Lord Bashir would appear and become famous. Morse would also benefit from this, becoming famous throughout the world for hundreds of years.
As long as the temple exists, Bashir's "legend" will continue to be told. Want to chat with more like-minded people about "Sailing and Conquest"? Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read novels, discuss life, and find kindred spirits!
