When I heard a sound outside.
Mo Xun frowned slightly, just as he was about to say something. There were only two things he hated most: being disturbed when he was engrossed in studying the mechanism, or being interrupted when he was speaking.
Without thinking, he shouted, "Get lost!"
Outside, Dai Heng frowned slightly upon hearing these words. However, even if his father were present, he couldn't easily provoke someone like Mo Xun. So, he could only swallow his anger and say, "Senior Mo, I'll wait for you outside. This time, my father has given a strict order: you must incorporate the Primordial Beginning Metal into my weapon."
Mo Xun snorted coldly, about to say something, when he saw Ye Qiubai's eyes light up.
"Senior, why don't we meet him?"
Mo Xun frowned and said, "See what?
He possesses the Primordial Beginning Metal.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xun looked at Ye Qiubai, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You want to get the Primordial Beginning Metal from him?"
Ye Qiubai shrugged. "Let's give it a try."
"Besides, there's no loss to the seniors. Do you think it's more challenging to help them make weapons or to help me build this ship?"
Hearing this, Mo Xun's face twisted into a maniacal smile, then he looked at the wooden door and said, "Alright, come in."
Dai Heng, who had just stepped out of the attic into the wasteland, was stunned by what he heard. Then, his face lit up with joy. He knocked on the door again before pushing it open and entering.
When Dai Heng saw Ye Qiubai sitting in front of Mo Xun, his face, which had been filled with ecstasy, suddenly froze, and then slowly darkened.
When he came to Mo Xun help before, Ye Qiubai beat him to it, preventing him from getting a visit.
now.
Mo Xun's anger likely stemmed from Ye Qiubai discussing matters with him.
This means that in Mo Xun's eyes, Ye Qiubai is more important than the Dai Clan.
However, as a scion of the Aristocratic Clan, one must not lose the art of cultivating inner strength.
Dai Heng immediately changed his expression, looking at Ye Qiubai with a friendly face and saying, "I didn't expect Senior Ye to be here as well."
Ye Qiubai nodded slightly.
Mo Xun waved his hand and said, "You two talk."
Um?
Dai Heng was taken aback upon hearing Mo Xun's words.
What are we talking about? I'm here to talk to you, Senior Mo. What's the point of talking to him?
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm very interested in the Primordial Beginning Metal of your Dai Clan."
Dai Heng frowned and said, "My father said back then that unless you join the Dai Clan as a guest elder, it's impossible for you to get this Primordial Beginning Metal."
Ye Qiubai then looked at Mo Xun and said, "Senior, you probably have no interest in this job anymore, right?"
Mo Xun's brow twitched.
That rascal, he outsmarted him.
To be honest, he would help the Dai Clan incorporate the Primordial Beginning Metal into their weapons because the reward they offered was very generous.
However, compared to Ye Qiubai's shipbuilding, the challenge was simply too much for him to refuse. If Ye Qiubai could obtain the Primordial Beginning Metal quickly, it would also allow him to start construction sooner.
Immediately, under Ye Qiubai's confident smile, Mo Xun nodded.
Ye Qiubai knew that for someone like Mo Xun, who was obsessed with mechanical crafting, and who was a mechanical craftsman of Mo Xun's level, the reward could actually be received at any time.
However, opportunities like Ye Qiubai, who comes with his own resources and can create whatever he wants, are rare.
More than the reward, Mo Xun wants to experience more challenging and interesting things.
It has to be said that Ye Qiubai had a firm grasp on Mo Xun's personality.
Upon seeing this, Dai Heng's expression changed drastically, and he waved his hand, saying, "Senior, you promised the Dai Clan! You can't..."
Mo Xun said directly, "I'll return the payment to you."
"This..." Dai Heng's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. He looked at Ye Qiubai, the instigator, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Even so, the Primordial Beginning Metal is not going to be given to you!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai smiled calmly and said, "Don't be so quick to judge, let's continue our discussion."
Before Dai Heng could interrupt, Ye Qiubai continued, "Your Dai Clan now understands that the Ai Clan has recovered, and from now on, as long as I am here, it will be impossible for you to control resources or block the Ai Clan from going out to sea to fish for resources."
"The large number of external reinforcements we've gathered afterwards are enough to fight this protracted war against your Dai Clan; I'm sure your father understands that as well."
Dai Heng remained silent.
Ye Qiubai was right; he had mentioned these things when his father and the elders were discussing matters.
We discussed countermeasures, but were at a loss.
After all, someone like Ye Qiubai, who is comparable to the patriarch of the Dai Clan, could not be completely Ye Qiubai even if the patriarch himself took action!
Seeing Dai Heng's unpredictable expression, Ye Qiubai's lips curled up slightly. "Then, you can also tell your father about what happened here with Senior Mo today."
Leveraging existing trends.
It was precisely this momentum that was borrowed from Mo Xun!
Mo Xun is someone that no force in Jade Qilin City can afford to provoke.
However, Mo Xun seemed to be more biased towards Ye Qiubai.
It's hard not to imagine just how close their relationship really is.
Upon Mo Xun nearly dropped the small wooden box he was holding. This brat was trying to trick him again!
After thinking about it, I decided to hold back...
Ye Qiubai: "Oh, and give me another message: if the Dai Clan is willing to cease hostilities with the Ai Clan and hand over the Primordial Beginning Metal, not only will Senior Mo forge a weapon of the same level for you, but the Dai Clan won't need to pay any other price to the Ai Clan. They just need to put on a show of cooperation. This will maximize the Dai Clan's face... Take this message back with you; your father will understand."
Dai Heng's face was grim. He pushed open the door and left without even saying goodbye to Mo Xun.
After Dai Heng left.
Mo Xun could no longer hold back and cursed at Ye Qiubai, "I could forgive you for cooperating with me before, but to forge another weapon for the Dai Clan? What, do you think I'll keep cooperating with you forever?"
Ye Qiubai smiled and took out the Azure Cloud Sword, handing it to Mo Xun, "Of course I won't let you help me for nothing. You can borrow this sword to observe and study for three days. Of course, I will also stay here for three days."
Mo Xun looked at the ancient, sheathed longsword, initially filled with confusion.
But the more he looked, the wider his eyes widened, and his pupils began to contract sharply.
My whole body was trembling uncontrollably!
"Where... where did you get this sword?"
He couldn't even tell the level of this sword!
Yet, one can sense a deep-seated fear and submission emanating from the very depths of one's soul through this sword.
Ye Qiubai: "That's none of your business."
"Aren't you afraid I'll forcibly take this sword away?" Mo Xun, puzzled.
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "Try taking me away by force if you want, but I suggest you do so if you want to keep your life."
joke.
A sacred weapon of the Azure Cloud Sword's caliber—if you're not a sword cultivator and your cultivation level hasn't reached a certain point, drawing it completely will surely lead to your death!
Besides, what if it gets taken away? Do you think Master is just sitting around doing nothing?
