Ling Xiang had considered using the method Xuanyuan Qi suggested, but in the absence of a trustworthy weapon refiner, who could guarantee that they would not collude and crack her blueprints?
Xuanyuan Qi waited for a while, but Ling Xiang didn't agree. He became unhappy and said, "Hey, Miss Ling, we've worked together so many times. I even helped you rescue Xiaoyu and the others today. How dare you still not trust me?"
Ling Xiang immediately grasped the key point: "You saved Xiaoyu and the others? You betrayed your own cousin?"
No wonder the King of Qin sent people to send Xiaoyu and the others back. It turned out that it was really the King of Huai who was behind this.
The King of Qin was betrayed by his own cousin. Did he know?
Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are smart."
Even if the King of Huai was not there, the King of Qin would definitely release Xiaoyu by tomorrow at the latest.
However, Ling Xiang was still very grateful to Prince Huai for his efforts in saving people.
Even if it was to thank him for his kindness, Ling Xiang had no reason to be stingy with a blueprint and not trust Xuanyuan Qi.
She took out a stack of blueprints and said seriously:
"This is the blueprint for the crossbow I'm using today. I had an idea during the competition today. If the arrows could be imbued with spiritual energy, then my seven arrows today would be able to scatter all seven spheres at once. With this power, killing a spiritual user would be no problem at all. If the user is strong enough and the arrows can carry spiritual energy, maybe they could even kill a spiritual master."
"According to you, if we can find strong enough materials to make this crossbow, and if the user is strong enough, maybe it can kill the Spirit Master?" Xuanyuan Qi said half-jokingly.
Ling Xiang thought about it carefully and nodded, "The strength of a weapon depends on its own attributes, which only account for 30% at most. The strength of the user is the most important factor."
Xuanyuan Qi agreed: "I happen to have some good refining materials, which can be used to refine your crossbow."
Xuanyuan Qi was willing to share his good stuff, so Ling Xiang was of course very happy: "Okay, let's split the finished product equally."
Xuanyuan Qi raised an eyebrow: "I paid for it and put in the effort, but I only get 50%?"
Ling Xiang said as a matter of course: "What else? Without me, could you design such an exquisite crossbow?"
"No." Xuanyuan Qi was very honest.
"That's it, you got a blueprint from me for free and you're still not satisfied. If you feel you're losing out, you can just stop cooperating with me and give me back the blueprint!" Ling Xiang stretched out his hand, as if he really wanted to take the blueprint back.
Xuanyuan Qi put the blueprint away at lightning speed: "Once it's in my hands, there's no reason to take it back!"
Ling Xiang's mouth twitched: "Okay, if we have a pleasant cooperation this time, I will look for your cooperation again if I want to build weapons on a large scale in the future."
"Alright." Xuanyuan Qi said with a reluctant look, "Ling Xiang, do you have something good you haven't shared with me?"
Ling Xiang raised an eyebrow: "What?"
Xuanyuan Qi said unhappily, "Think about it carefully!"
Ling Xiang bit her lip and thought for a while, but she couldn't figure out what this guy wanted: "Your Highness, you can just tell me clearly."
Xuanyuan Qi was very unhappy. He treated her so well with all his heart, but she had such a good thing in her hand, but she would rather give it to Yuan Zhengqing and Nangong Yu than to him!
He is so angry!
Xuanyuan Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you another cup of tea to think carefully!"
Ling Xiang felt like she was about to face a storm. After racking her brains for a while, she tentatively asked, "Could it be that the prince has taken a liking to Jishitang's medicine?"
Jishidiang is the pharmacy opened by the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
Xuanyuan Qi's expression softened a bit: "What else?"
Ling Xiang felt a deep sense of powerlessness: "I really can't remember! Prince, if you want the medicine I sell, just buy it directly. Go to Jishiditang and tell them your name, His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai. I promise they will quickly give you what you need! As for other things, as long as you want something, just tell me, and I'll give you whatever I have!"
Xuanyuan Qi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode: "Where's the VIP treatment! Where's the 20% discount! Where's the elixir!"
Ling Xiang: ...
It turns out that this guy knew about her deal with Yuan Zhengqing?
"You're spying on me?" Ling Xiang's expression became very serious. If he dared to admit it, she would definitely turn against him!
Xuanyuan Qi said angrily, "Yuan Zhengqing even showed off the VIP jade token you gave him in front of me!"
Would Yuan Zhengqing do such a childish thing? Ling Xiang expressed doubt: "Your Highness, Prince Huai, Lord Yuan is a good official. He works diligently for your family. Please don't discredit him."
Being suspected by Ling Xiang, Xuanyuan Qi was really furious: "Ling Xiang, you are very good!"
There is a reason why Xuanyuan Qi was so angry.
Last night, after arranging Wei Ming to protect Ling Xiang, he went to Shuntian Prefecture to find Yuan Zhengqing.
At that time, Yuan Zhengqing was holding a black jade token in a daze, smiling foolishly!
Yuan Zhengqing is such a rational person, yet he would do such an abnormal thing. Xuanyuan Qi would of course ask Yuan Zhengqing where the jade token came from and see why he was grinning foolishly.
Yuan Zhengqing immediately put away the jade token, as if afraid it would be snatched away: "Your Highness Prince Huai, how old are you? Why are you still like a child, so curious?"
"Even if you don't tell me, I will find out! Then, I can't guarantee that I will keep it a secret for you!" Xuanyuan Qi threatened.
Yuan Zhengqing was speechless and could only confess: "This is a thank-you gift from Miss Ling. How come you don't have it? I thought that since you helped her, she would give you one too..."
Xuanyuan Qi clearly saw showing off in Yuan Zhengqing's eyes.
He was very sure that Yuan Zhengqing was doing it on purpose to make him angry!
But he still couldn't help getting angry!
Why am I not the first!
It was obviously he who knew Ling Xiang first!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got! He was so angry that he left without even finishing his work, went home and lay in bed all night without sleeping!
Ling Xiang didn't know the inside story. If she knew, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged!
Jishidiang had just opened and the VIP system had just been established. The jade token was only made two days ago. It just so happened that Yuan Zhengqing helped a lot, so she gave him a black jade token. It was all just a coincidence.
Ling Xiang was really worried that the Devil King would misunderstand and do something outrageous, so he quickly took out a black jade token and admitted his mistake sincerely:
"Your Highness, I was wrong. I'm giving you this at a 20% discount. Oh no, 30%, 40%! It really can't be any less. If it's any less, I'll lose money!"
Xuanyuan Qi confiscated the jade token, with an expression that said, "A gentleman doesn't accept food given out of pity." "You even sold eleven Heart Protecting Pills to Nangong Yu! It seems like they can all buy your things, but I'm the only one who's not worthy?"
Ling Xiang: ...
She looked at his chest and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, I see you are in good health. Could it be that you also have a heart disease and need a heart-protecting pill?"
Xuanyuan Qi was not comforted at all, but became even more angry: "You have a source of elixirs! And you didn't even give me a single one!"
