Chapter 40 Internal Conflict "If your father is also the Imperial Master, you can go ahead and make trouble. ...
Mu Xingchen sighed and sat up resignedly.
"That girl in green that day, I need to check her identity. Xiaoqi, do you remember the sword she was carrying that day? That sword, glowing with spiritual light, must be wielded by a noble family in Kyoto. Since she's not ordinary, and she always carries that spiritual sword around, there must be someone in the capital who recognizes her."
Mu Xingchen got up and walked around the room looking for pen and ink, but as expected, he found nothing.
Mu Qing's room was completely empty, with only a bed, a table, and even one stool.
besides……
Mu Xingchen looked at a mahogany box at the foot of the bed.
In addition to this, there was a box of silver and money sent by the man.
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you out shopping again." After that, she pushed the door open with the purse full of dough.
It's a hot summer day. As soon as you open the door, you're blown away by the heat. The sun seems to be particularly scorching today.
Mu Xingchen was standing at the door, feeling troubled.
Go out through the back door, the back door is guarded by the Mu family. Go over the wall, the wind and snow are nearby, which is not conducive to her maintaining her image.
What should I do then?
Xiao Qi kindly reminded him, "There's a dog hole at the back, and Mu Qing often goes out through that."
Mu Xingchen twitched his lips, "Let me, crawl through the dog hole?"
Xiao Qi asked as a matter of course, "What else? Drilling through a dog hole is very consistent with your personality."
Mu Xingchen took a breath and said, "Okay, let's go!"
A few minutes later, Mu Xingchen came to the backyard. She followed Xiaoqi's instructions, pulled aside the grass around the dog hole, and prepared to crawl out.
"Miss Mu!" Fengxue called her from behind.
Mu Xingchen turned around in shock, and when she saw it was Fengxue, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Fengxue."
Fengxue frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu Xingchen lowered his head and replied somewhat bewilderedly: "I...I want to go out."
Feng Xue frowned and said, "Your body needs to rest. If you need anything, just tell me directly."
Mu Xingchen raised his head and mustered up the courage to say, "I want to go out. Jing... Master Jing didn't say he would restrict my freedom."
The implication was that she had no right to stop her.
Fengxue's breath was choked. That's not what she meant.
"Forget it, I'll take you out." After saying that, she walked up, hugged Mu Xingchen's waist and flew out.
Before Mu Xingchen could react, the two of them had already landed safely on the ground.
Feng Xue said directly: "Next time you want to go out, just call me. There's no need to go through the dog hole."
Mu Xingchen nodded, "Thank you, Sister Fengxue."
"Where do you want to go?" Fengxue asked.
Mu Xingchen didn't say anything but smiled sweetly.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the door of a small shop. Although the shop was small, there were five words hanging on the top: "Gold Medal Forging Shop".
Fengxue felt a little worried when she saw the shop. She still wanted a dagger. The one she gave her was taken away by her master and she couldn't get it back, so she wanted to make one herself.
"Sister Fengxue, please wait for me at the door for a while." Mu Xingchen said to her.
Fengxue nodded. It was just a dagger, and he couldn't hurt himself.
As soon as Mu Xingchen walked in, he saw a variety of weapons. The styles of weapons were roughly divided into two types: one that looked plain but chilling, and one that looked extremely gorgeous, sparkling with glittering gems.
Mu Xingchen twitched her lips. She finally knew where the dagger inlaid with the big red ruby came from.
"What do you want?" A rough voice sounded behind him.
Mu Xingchen turned around and saw a burly man wearing a coarse linen shirt and with charred skin approaching. He wiped the sweat from his forehead as he walked, and his tone sounded quite cold. "If you don't know what you want, just look around. Call me when you see something." As he said that, he was about to walk towards the curtain behind him.
Mu Xingchen stopped him and said, "I want to customize a sword, but I don't know if the master can make it."
The man frowned and said, "Customization is very expensive, and it costs spirit stones."
Since he opened the shop, he has never accepted gold or silver, only spirit stones. He also never refines ordinary weapons. Every weapon here has its own aura, which is the result of forging with a large amount of spirit stones.
Mu Xingchen opened his purse and asked, "One high-grade spirit stone, is that enough?"
The man's brows furrowed even more tightly. There was no trace of joy in his eyes at seeing the spirit stones. Instead, he said in a cold voice, "Not enough."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow. So expensive? Isn't this a shady shop?
Xiao Qi explained, "The weapons here seem to be forged with spirit stones. During the forging process, the spiritual energy within the spirit stones is introduced into the sword energy. To refine a weapon imbued with spiritual energy, a very large number of spirit stones are consumed. The failure rate is very high, and a large number of spirit stones will be wasted. This blacksmith is very brave and talented."
Mu Xingchen twitched her lips. She just picked a shop at random and was lucky enough to meet such a blacksmith.
Sighing, Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "This is just a deposit. I'll give you whatever amount Master wants."
Anyway, it wasn't her who gave the money.
The man turned around without saying a word, and soon he brought a set of pen and ink.
"painting."
Mu Xingchen picked up the pen and began to draw the sword he had seen that day based on his memory.
After a moment, she handed him the drawing.
The man took one look and refused directly: "I can't do it."
"Why?" Mu Xingchen asked in confusion. "A few days ago, I saw a woman wearing this sword on the street. It was very beautiful, so I wanted to have one too. Since Master forged it with spirit stones, why can't you make it?"
The man pursed his lips. "Every weapon in my hand is unique in this world. I will never make a second one."
When Mu Xingchen heard his words, he understood in his heart that the sword actually came from his hand.
She raised her eyebrows, "I can add spirit stones!!!"
"I won't do it even if you spend so many spirit stones. Go back." He refused bluntly and was about to leave.
Mu Xingchen grabbed his sleeve and said, "If you don't do it for me, I will go to that woman to make trouble and ask her to sell the sword to me. I tell you, you can't afford to offend me, and neither can she. If things get out of hand and you don't do it for me, she might come after you to settle the score! You've offended her and you've offended me. How can you keep your shop going then?!" Her tone was quite threatening.
The man first looked her up and down at her clothes, then smiled, as if mocking her for being an idiot, "If your father is also the Emperor's teacher, you can go ahead and make a scene."
Three years ago, he didn't want to sell the sword, but the Imperial Master's Mansion forced him to buy it.
He looked at Mu Xingchen with disgust, and left without looking back, leaving Mu Xingchen alone standing there in a daze.
"No, after all this time, it's an internal conflict???" Mu Xingchen stroked his forehead, "Damn! It's actually someone from the Mu family who wants to kill Mu Qing!"
Xiao Qi was puzzled: "So that woman is the daughter of the Mu family, and she wants to kill Mu Qing for Prince Yan."
Mu Xingchen stared at him, "Not necessarily. Her reaction that day made me feel that things are not that simple, but who could it be? No, how many daughters does Mu Qi have?" she asked puzzledly.
Xiao Qi began to look through Mu Qing's memories. "Four, besides Mu Qing there are Mu Lin, Mu Yao, and Mu Qinxin."
Mu Lin did remember that Mu Yao and Mu Qinxin had never seen the child of the second wife.
"It seems they didn't come on the day the old man lost the medicine."
Xiao Qi confirmed, "She didn't come. Mu Yao's mother is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She holds a high status in the mansion and is usually the most favored by Mu Qi. Therefore, Mu Yao has been spoiled since she was a child. She is quite flamboyant and likes to show off. Mu Qinxin's mother also had a high status in the past. She was brought up by Mu Qi after her family fell into poverty. The people in their courtyard are usually low-key, and Mu Qinxin is also gentle and rarely makes things difficult for others."
After saying that, Xiao Qi added, "Mu Qing likes her the most."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow. "He sounds like a good person, but the old man's medicine was lost that day, and there was such a big scene, but those two people didn't show up. What does this mean?"
Xiao Qi asked, "What does it mean?"
"This means that the family that Mu Qing thought was peaceful and aloof from the world is very likely to be hiding something. Otherwise, why didn't they invite them over that day?"
Xiao Qi agreed: "That makes sense, then let's check them first?"
"No." Mu Xingchen curled his lips, "I already know who it is."
"Mu Yao?" Xiao Qi asked back.
Mu Xingchen's smile deepened. "Well. I have to find an opportunity to let the Mu family know that I'm back."
