Chapter 1626: Efforts
Mu Qing Ying was confused and had mixed feelings. She hadn’t thought Mu Xiao would do that, and she had never thought Mu Xiao would ever become her boyfriend. Even though she wasn’t as amazing as Mu Lin Xue, she was still very beautiful, and she could get a much better boyfriend if she tried. However, she knew what kind of threat Mu Xiao would pose her if he left now.
“Let’s go out and greet everyone.” said Mu Qing Ying, avoiding the topic. Then she ran towards everyone who were currently inspecting the weapon she just made. They all smiled pleasantly when they saw Mu Qing Ying come out.
“Qing Ying, congratulations! Now you’re a real weapon artisan.”
“Qing Ying, it seems like you’re going to be able to participate in the tournament.” everybody was complimenting Qing Ying. Some people were jealous too, especially anyone who was around the same age as her. Mu Qing Ying had made an imperial weapon, which meant she’d surely be able to make it to the tournament, meaning less opportunities for them to be qualified.
“Father.” said Mu Qing Ying, she was looking at a middle-aged man, and smiling in a resplendent way.
“Qing Ying, not bad, you’re even catching up with Lin Xue! You’ll certainly participate in the tournament now.” said Mu Qing Ying’s father.
Mu Qing Ying almost forgot about what happened with Mu Xiao a moment before because she was so very happy. Everyone was flattering her, and she couldn’t get enough of it. She had been jealous of Mu Lin Xue, but she just never showed it. Now, she felt like she could be treated like Mu Lin Xue.
“I really don’t deserve so much praise, father. Sister Lin Xue has been making imperial weapons for a long time already.” said Mu Qing Ying smiling.
“You’re all Level One Professors now, so it doesn’t matter whether she’s been doing it for a while or not.” said her father.
Slash, slash! Strange sounds and a terrifying Qi were coming from Mu Lin Xue’s courtyard.
Then, her laboratory exploded, dazzling lights lighting up the night sky. With those lights, a dazzling armor appeared in the sky.
“Level two imperial weapon, the quality of it is incredible too.” the crowd was astonished. Someone had made a level two imperial weapon! Then, two silhouettes rose up in the air, one was the most beautiful woman of the Mu Clan: Mu Lin Xue.
Mu Qing Ying’s father was dumbfounded. He had just said that his daughter was as talented as Mu Lin Xue, but a few minutes later, Mu Lin Xue already proved she was more talented by creating a level two imperial weapon.
Mu Qing Ying was just as stunned as her father. She initially looked happy, but now she looked dispirited. Lin Xue could already make level two imperial weapons!
“Miss, we still have time to try and make level two imperial weapons.” said Mu Xiao. Mu Qing Ying turned around and nodded, “Indeed, we still have time, so we need to try as well.”
More strong cultivators gathered, including many older people. Making level two imperial weapons under the age of thirty was something incredible. Even in the Mu Clan, only two people could do that, and the other one was even older than Mu Lin Xue, almost thirty.
“Lin Xue, I will get even better materials for you. If you need someone to help you, just ask and I will help you find someone!” said Mu Lin Xue’s second grandfather.
“No need, I can do it myself.” said Mu Lin Xue shaking her head. Finding someone better than Lin Feng was impossible. Even if she did find someone, they wouldn’t help her like Lin Feng. Weapon craftspeople were proud, and they didn’t like doing things for other people for free. Even though she didn’t know why Lin Feng was so good to her, at least she knew he was honest and kindhearted, that was enough.
“Alright.” replied her second grandfather. She was stubborn and expected this answer. However, even if she could make level two imperial weapons now, it still wasn’t enough to defeat Yan Feng.
“Alright, everybody can disperse.” said the old man waving. With that, everybody left, even the people around Mu Qing Ying left. Mu Qing Ying went to Mu Lin Xue and smiled, “Sister Lin Xue, congratulations, you’re a Level Two Professor. If you found someone who could help you, you’d be able to beat Yan Feng.”
“I will do my best. Qing Ying, you’ve improved as well! You just made an imperial weapon. We still have time, so let’s do our best.” said Mu Lin Xue smiling. Then, she took the armor and said to Lin Feng, “Take the armor.”
Mu Qing Ying took in a deep breath of surprise. Lin Xue wanted to give Lin Feng a level two imperial weapon?
“Miss Lin Xue.” said Mu Qing Ying unhappily. What had that perverted bastard done to Lin Xue? Did he make her take drugs against her will?
Lin Feng initially wanted to refuse but when he saw Mu Qing Ying’s reaction, he smiled and took it, “Thank you!”
“You…” She also didn’t think that Lin Feng would take it, but then Mu Lin Xue said, “Alright, Qing Ying, you can leave. I have things to do.”
Mu Qing Ying’s mouth was wide open. She was astonished but finally, she nodded and said, “I’m also going to make more weapons. Sister Lin Xue be careful.”
After Mu Qing Ying left, Mu Lin Xue smiled at Lin Feng and shook her head, “Lin Feng, Qing Ying is not a bad person, she just doesn’t understand you.”
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. Mu Qing Ying was from a noble and powerful clan, even though she was talented, she hadn’t traveled much. She was spoiled growing up that she had developed a bad temper. Lin Feng had no time to waste with such people, he wasn’t her dad.
“Just beware of Mu Xiao.” said Lin Feng indifferently. Mu Lin Xue turned around, beware of Mu Xiao? It seemed like she had to warn Mu Qing Ying if Lin Feng was serious.
Mu Lin Xue looked at the cauldron and said, “A level two imperial weapon isn’t enough. We have to stabilize our knowledge and then continue improving.”
“Lin Xue!” said Lin Feng.
“First, think of what imperial weapon you want to make at the tournament, then, let’s see what deployment spell we need. I still need to practice and improve my deployment spells. I should mention that I didn’t use my full strength for that armor, I can even do better than that.” said Lin Feng to Mu Lin Xue. He knew the three-thousand great deployment spells from a great emperor, how could that be the best he had? He just needed Mu Lin Xue to know exactly what she wanted to do and then he’d think of the deployment spell he could use. With some practice, he could figure it out before the tournament.
Mu Lin Xue looked surprised, his deployment spells could be even more powerful?
“Lin Feng, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.” said Mu Lin Xue smiling.
“You keep thanking me.” said Lin Feng smiling wryly before he joked, “Since I keep telling you not to thank me, but you continue to anyways, how should I go about asking you to stop thanking me?”
Mu Lin Xue’s eyes twinkled and she said, “Maybe we could have sex? Would you dare?”
“Eh…” Lin Feng was dumbstruck, he smiled wryly and said, “I wouldn’t dare. First, tell me what imperial weapon you want to make, I’ll go for a walk while you decide.”
Mu Lin Xue looked at Lin Feng and smiled. She was thinking, “You little cutie. You came to the Mu Clan just to help me, and I thought you really liked me, but now I tried to offer you sex and you ran away.”
She leant against the wall and daydreamed about Lin Feng. Now, she had to think of which weapon she wanted to make. Lin Feng had told her he could make even better weapons, so if she used her full strength, used the best fire, and the best materials, maybe then she would be able to make a level three imperial weapon. If that happened, then maybe she could win against Yan Feng.
Time passed, and the date of the event was quickly approaching. There were only seven days left before Lin Feng finally came out of his room. As the sun shone upon him, Lin Feng closed his eyes and took in a deep breathe of fresh air.
“Finally, you came out.” said Mu Lin Xue, smiling in a cute way.
“I’m done. Should we try to make a level three imperial weapon? I think it’ll be easy.” said Lin Feng.
“No need. We should rest and save our energy before the competition.” said Mu Lin Xue. Then, she got closer to Lin Feng, smiled, and said, “Lin Feng, my life is in your hands.”
