Maybe it's a close friend
In the golden afternoon sun, a girl in a goose yellow dress took two steps toward the distance, then suddenly stopped and turned back.
The girl in blue behind her blinked and tilted her head to look at her.
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly asked, "Do you know where there's a weapon refiner who can make high-level magical weapons?"
She almost forgot that the silver jade bracelet was still damaged and had not been repaired.
Jiang Jingyuan thought: "I should have asked Qin Jiuyan just now, she would probably know."
Hearing this, Hua Simiao thought for a moment and said, "That depends on how high-level the high-level magical weapon is. For ordinary high-level magical weapons, Baiwenlou can directly apply to the weapon refiners, but for more complicated ones, we have to find someone according to our circumstances."
Jiang Jingyuan listened, raised her left hand, and stretched it out. A few of the purple gems inlaid with the silver jade bracelet on her left wrist were broken, shining with a clear purple light in the sunlight. She asked, "What about a bracelet like this one?"
She was not proficient in magical instruments and it was difficult for her to judge the specific grade of the bracelet, but she felt that the things of the witch clan were probably not simple.
Hua Simiao reached out and lifted the silver jade bracelet on Jiang Jingyuan's wrist, examining it carefully with a serious look on her face. When she put her hand down, she shook her head and said, "I guess Baiwen Tower can't find a refiner who can repair this magic weapon."
As expected... Although Jiang Jingyuan had expected this, he still felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
"But I know there's one person. If she can't fix it, then probably no one else can."
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly heard Hua Simiao say this, and she looked up.
Hua Simiao in front of him said very seriously and firmly: "Qin Gejue from Niaoniao Mountain Terrace."
"?!" Jiang Jingyuan was stunned. She had never thought the world was so small. She really should have asked Qin Jiuyan earlier. After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Jingyuan asked carefully, "Are all the people in Niaoniao Mountain surnamed Qin?"
Hua Simiao was obviously stunned when she heard this, somewhat confused. She said blankly, "Shouldn't it be...? I haven't met many people from Niao Niao Mountain either, so I'm not too sure..."
Jiang Jingyuan looked at her and fell into deep thought unconsciously.
Hua Si Miao blinked in confusion.
She opened her mouth and was about to ask something when she heard Jiang Jingyuan in front of her come back to her senses and say, "I know."
Since we are all from Niao Niao Mountain, I should contact Qin Jiuyan directly later to ask her… Jiang Jingyuan thought, thanked the blue-clothed girl in front of him, and then said goodbye: "See you next time."
Hua Simiao paused. From the looks of it, she knew Jiang Jingyuan had a way to find Qin Gejue, but she still warned, "Qin Gejue's whereabouts are erratic, so it shouldn't be easy to find him."
Jiang Jingyuan looked at her when he heard that.
Hua Simiao said, "I don't know her, but my master has some friendship with her. According to my master, no one has seen Qin Gejue for more than ten years, and there is not even a trace of news or clues."
Is that so... Jiang Jingyuan listened, her expression calm, but she was a little worried. If that was the case, even Qin Jiuyan might not be able to find Qin Gejue.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyes to look at Hua Simiao and asked very seriously: "When you have any news about Qin Gejue, can you let me know?"
Hua Simiao smiled when she heard that. Her sparkling eyes curved and she agreed sweetly, "Of course, we are friends."
…………
After separating from Hua Simiao, Jiang Jingyuan walked into the capital of Lin Kingdom alone.
She found a teahouse and sat down by the window on the second floor. While waiting for her meal, she had a thought and the copper bell hanging on the longevity lock on the necklace around her neck suddenly vibrated.
The copper bell swung rapidly, and after a crisp sound that only existed in her mind, Qin Jiuyan's voice, cold yet obviously lazy and casual, rang out in her mind: "Hmm? What's the matter?"
"I want to repair a magic weapon, and others say I should look for Qin Gejue on Niaoniao Mountain. Do you know where Qin Gejue is?" The girl by the window had a calm and indifferent expression on her face, and she asked bluntly in her mind.
She didn't necessarily need to find Qin Gejue, as long as she could repair the magic weapon. On some matters, it was better to be straightforward to avoid making things more complicated.
"Qin Gejue?" Qin Jiuyan's voice was always nonchalant, and she wasn't surprised at all when she heard this. She pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't seen her in a long time. I don't know where she went. What kind of magic weapon do you want to repair? I'll see if I can find someone else to do it."
Jiang Jingyuan listened and was about to ask how to show her the bracelet when she saw a white shadow suddenly flash in front of her.
She looked up suddenly.
Suddenly, an illusory figure appeared out of thin air opposite the wooden table. Jiang Jingyuan was startled and subconsciously turned around to look around. He saw that the people in the teahouse were still chatting and laughing. Even the shop owner who came over left with a smile on his face after putting down the tea and cakes. It seemed that no one noticed anything unusual here.
"It seems that she used some method." Jiang Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. After what she saw in Lin Country and what Hua Simiao said, she didn't want to attract attention in Lin Country.
Jiang Jingyuan collected his thoughts, raised his left hand, and extended it to Qin Jiuyan across from him with his palm facing upwards, saying seriously, "It's this bracelet."
Qin Jiuyan's shadow lowered his eyes and turned the silver jade bracelet on Jiang Jingyuan's wrist. He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Jingyuan and said with a slightly regretful tone, "It seems that I really have to find Qin Gejue."
Jiang Jingyuan nodded without any surprise.
Many things are like this; repairing is always more difficult than creating. Jiang Jingyuan didn't feel too heavy in his heart, but just silently thought about adding another task to his tasks and plans.
Retracting his hand, Jiang Jingyuan looked at the woman in white before him, who looked as holy and lonely as a banished immortal, and asked with some reluctance, "Is there no way to find Qin Gejue?"
In fact, if it were someone else, repairing a high-level defensive magic weapon and going to look for a mysterious and elusive figure would be a waste of time. Many people would choose to give up repairing the magic weapon.
After all, if you can really find someone and have the opportunity to negotiate in person to request a trade to repair the magic weapon, it is better to choose something else that is more important, more valuable, or even more long-term.
Besides, it is the fate of defensive magic weapons to be damaged and scrapped.
But Jiang Jingyuan just wanted to repair this magic weapon.
Others say that she is indifferent to everyone and everything, but only she knows that she is a very stubborn person. Once she makes up her mind, no one can change her mind.
"I didn't say that." Qin Jiuyan glanced at her and said with a smile.
Jiang Jingyuan stared at her in shock, blinked, and asked in disbelief, "Can you find Qin Gejue?"
"It's not me." Qin Jiuyan looked at her with a smile and said, "It's you. If it were you, I would just place a few phonograph stones in the Niao Niao Terrace and shout in a loop for a few days. If Qin Gejue is interested, she will appear on her own."
Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can I?"
It's not her, but she who has obtained the Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow. Can she lure Qin Gejue?
Qin Jiuyan raised the corner of his mouth and gave her an affirmative look. He said with a relaxed but very firm look: "Okay."
Jiang Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Qin Jiuyan added slowly, "But regarding the compensation, I don't know what Qin Gejue thinks."
Jiang Jingyuan nodded, looked at her calmly and seriously, and said, "I know."
What Qin Jiuyan meant was that if it were her, the reward she would ask for would be the one they had discussed before, but the person who actually repaired the magic weapon was Qin Gejue, so it was not certain whether Qin Gejue would choose to ask for other rewards.
"Hmm..." Qin Jiuyan narrowed her gilded eyes. The slanting sunlight fell on her, making her look like a sleepy cat in the afternoon. The matter was basically resolved, and her temperament suddenly became lazy and casual. She said, "If you have nothing else, then I'll leave first."
Jiang Jingyuan nodded, "Thank you."
The white veil floating in front of him covered the sky and the sun. In just a moment, Jiang Jingyuan opened his eyes and looked forward, but the white figure was no longer in front of him.
Jiang Jingyuan brewed herself a cup of hot tea. The steaming heat blurred her vision but also warmed her fingers. After a pause, Jiang Jingyuan raised her cup and took a sip. She turned her head and looked out the window. Her sight swept across the streets decorated with colorful lights and she caught a glimpse of the towering imperial palace in the distance.
A breeze blew the white smoke rising from the hot tea sideways, and the platinum sunlight fell on the face of the girl by the window, but could not illuminate the depths of her dark eyes.
Jiang Jingyuan was eating cakes when he suddenly thought of a question:
"What is the relationship between Qin Gejue and Qin Jiuyan?"
When Jiang Jingyuan first heard Hua Simiao say that Qin Gejue had some friendship with her master, he took it for granted that Qin Gejue and Hua Simiao's master were of the same generation. But now, recalling the relaxed and casual tone Qin Jiuyan used when talking about Qin Gejue, he became a little uncertain.
"Maybe we're close friends...?"
Jiang Jingyuan thought silently.
But it's just curiosity, these things have nothing to do with her.
…………
After a quick tour around the capital of Lin Kingdom, Jiang Jingyuan didn't have many thoughts in his mind.
It was not until she walked out of the Baiwen Building in Yu Country and saw the street scene outside the building that Jiang Jingyuan silently despised Lin Country with an expressionless face.
What is Yuguo like?
If someone asked Jiang Jingyuan this, Jiang Jingyuan would only say one word -
"rich!"
Jiang Jingyuan stood outside Baiwen Tower, staring at the row of tall and magnificent teahouses and taverns in front of her. They were so exquisite that even the smallest wooden railings were carved with intricate patterns and inlaid with gold and silver. She was completely stunned.
Lowering his gaze, through the gaps in the crowd, Jiang Jingyuan clearly saw a set of carved tables and chairs outside the teahouse across the street. The porcelain cups and bowls upon which lay a simple meal, each painted with delicate patterns. Two people sat at the table, quickly tucking away at their meal with gilded wooden chopsticks. With a clatter, they tossed their bowls and chopsticks onto the table, gulped down their teacups, and then stood up to greet passersby.
"Here I come, sir, please go upstairs!"
"Come to our house for tea and reading! Mr. Old Monster in the Deep Mountains Doesn't Like Catching Shrimp's latest story, 'Little Monster, Don't Run Away,' is exclusively performed by us!"
"Sir, please come upstairs and enjoy this authentic work of Master Hehe - 'Sunlight Shining on Lonely Mountain'! You have a good taste!"
The shouts were mixed with the laughter of passers-by. A bright and beautiful figure passed by her. Jiang Jingyuan stood in silence for a long time among the crowd.
too……
Yuguo is really... too rich... and his wealth is displayed so openly!
It’s nothing like the Lin Country. The people of Lin Country make a lot of money, but they are still stingy and don’t spend money unless it is necessary.
Jiang Jingyuan paused in thought, remembering the thieves he had seen in Lin Country. They were all dressed so brightly and attractively that outsiders would never have guessed they were capable of stealing.
