Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 70 Let’s Do Something Big Together
Mr. Xi was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up.
He drank a cup of wine, bowed to Tang Zheng and said, "Thank you for this touching story! I understand now. The reason why this coffin is unforgettable in your life is not because of its novelty, but because of the unforgettable story behind it."
"Men with stories are the most charming, and objects with stories are the most tasteful... I didn't expect that after traveling on the mainland for so long, I would only realize such a tasteful point of view today..."
"Brother Tang, goodbye, I'm going to find my own story!"
"Everyone, see you again if we are lucky!" Mr. Xi slapped his thigh, drank another glass without saying a word, picked up a handful of skewers, nodded to everyone present, turned around and left.
And just like that, Xiye left as suddenly as he came.
Looking at Mr. Xi's back, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "As expected of a local tycoon who pursues taste, he always goes on a spontaneous trip... Well, Qingyan, the zither he forgot to take away should be worth a lot of money, right?"
Xu Qingyan was silent for a while, then nodded helplessly.
"By the way, Qingyan, did you see how Mr. Xi managed to make Zhen Renxin's star power and constellation unable to function? Judging from his age, he is at most at the peak of three stars. It is impossible for the strength gap to be so big. Moreover, I saw that he couldn't even make his own constellation rise. It's very strange..." Tang Zheng asked while gently tapping the precious Yaoqin, frowning.
This was the first time that Tang Zheng found a situation he couldn't understand during a battle. This feeling of being out of control was very bad. Although Xi Ye was a friend rather than an enemy today, who knew if he would encounter an enemy like him one day?
Tang Zheng suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Xu Qingyan remained calm, and gently plucked a few notes on the harp: "I know, but I won't tell you. When you enter the academy, you will naturally learn this knowledge."
Tang Zheng was immediately embarrassed and angry: "This... Qingyan, I thought you were an honest person, when did you learn the bad habit of keeping things a secret?"
Xu Qingyan played the piano calmly and did not answer any more questions.
The little fox girl Daji, however, looked at the courtyard where Xiye's small building was located not far away, which had just been demolished. She asked with some curiosity and pity, "Master Tang Zheng, do you really want to demolish the building opposite just because it blocks part of our sunlight and vision?"
After following Tang Zheng for a few days, Daji has already understood Tang Zheng. She knows that many of the things he does often seem unreasonable, but there are always deeper reasons behind them.
Tang Zheng smiled, stood up and stretched, then smiled towards the direction of Cuihu Lake : "Well, of course there are other reasons. For example, the rooftop of that small building is much higher than the terrace where we often come here to cool off. So if we want to sunbathe naked in the future, it will be easy for people to peep at us..."
Tang Zheng looked at the disbelieving eyes of the crowd and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, actually I think that the small building is a perfect observation and sniping point for our house."
Hearing Tang Zheng's words, even Xu Qingyan paused his piano music and asked, "What is a sniping point?"
Tang Zheng did not answer directly, but raised his hand. Stars rose up behind him, and he made a gun-holding gesture with both hands. He directly performed the charged and pressurized starting posture, aiming at a seagull flying in the sky.
"Bang--" As the simulated gunshot sounded from Tang Zheng's mouth, a slender, shining star streaked across the sky. The seagull soaring in the sky suddenly let out a mournful cry and fell straight into a small patch of trees in front of Tang Zheng.
"Look, just like this, using ultra-long-range martial arts to carry out precise attack methods is called sniping." Tang Zheng habitually blew away the non-existent gunpowder on his fingers, turned around and smiled.
Xu Qingyan nodded and agreed: "Although I have never seen other warriors with similar martial arts as yours, you must be on guard. At such a long distance, if you are not one or two levels higher than the opponent, you can hardly feel the fluctuation of star power, so it is easy to be sniped and killed by others without any preparation."
"That small building is indeed a very dangerous spot. However, this is the first time I've heard of your idea of sniping. There should be very few warriors in the entire continent who understand and possess this attack method. Maybe it can become one of your killer weapons in the future."
After receiving Xu Qingyan's approval, Tang Zheng proudly held up three fingers and said, "At this distance, a three-star mid-level warrior can be killed with one shot. A three-star high-level warrior or above can only be seriously injured. A four-star warrior or above can probably be caught and killed before I can even open my sniper."
"Hey, Qingyan, how about we take on some of the dirty work assigned by Yingshan sometime? You'll be responsible for tracking and locating, and I'll be responsible for sniping and collecting heads. It will be super exciting to work together to do some big jobs. We can also pay off the debt we owe to Yingshan first. Otherwise, we'll always feel a big stone in our hearts." Tang Zheng suddenly suggested.
"How many Quick Shadow King Orders do you still owe Yingshan?" Xu Qingyan asked.
"It's a Samsung for 40 yuan. I got this discount by using my eloquence." Tang Zheng replied.
Xu Qingyan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take care of Yingshan's missions. You should study hard first. It would be best if you could pass the Star-Seeking Tower and reach three stars first. The warriors who are able to receive Yingshan's bounty and are still alive are not easy to deal with. Even if they are only three or two stars, they should not be underestimated."
When Tang Zheng heard that Xu Qingyan did not refuse, he immediately smiled: "Qingyan, you are really my little cotton-padded jacket!"
Just as Tang was about to discuss with Xu Qingyan how to make good use of his skills as a top assassin in his previous life, there was a gentle knock on the door downstairs.
"Chi Bao? Why are you here? Is Ye Qianhan feeling better?" Tang Zheng stood on the terrace, took a look and shouted downstairs.
"Thank you for your concern. Qianhan is fine now. I came here to inform you that there is a man at the door who calls himself Lu Yilou. He said he is your friend and wants to enter Minglu to look for you." Chi Bao bowed and replied, "By the way, his original words were, 'I am looking for that little bastard Tang Zheng!' So, I guess he should be your friend. If not, I asked him to leave immediately."
"Uh...Lu Yiluo? Yes, he is my friend, let him in." Tang Zheng nodded quickly.
Lu Yiluo came here at this time because he must have made the scabbard for Han Jiangxue. Only with the scabbard can Han Jiangxue really play his role.
And with Han Jiangxue's top-grade dagger, if Xu Qingyan goes to Yingshan to pick a mission, they will have a better chance of completing it. It will definitely be a timely help.
Even though he was called a bastard, Tang Zheng had no choice but to accept it.
After receiving Tang Zheng's affirmative answer, Chi Bao went straight to the gate of Minglu without saying much, ready to let Lu Yilou pass.
Looking at Chi Bao's back as he left, Tang Zheng touched his chin and said, "It seems that we need to find a way Chi Bao will have to run back and forth every time, wasting time and neglecting his friends. It's too troublesome!"
The doorbell rang. Before Tang Zheng could figure out how to solve the problem, Lu Yiluo had already arrived.
"It's a nice house, very grand! You really know how to enjoy life." Lu Yiluo followed Tang Zheng to the terrace, holding a sheath-shaped object wrapped in cloth in his hand.
After everyone present greeted this beggar with a unique personality, Lu Yiluo directly threw the package in his hand into Tang Zheng's hand, and grabbed a few skewers left on the barbecue grill and started to eat them.
Tang Zheng couldn't wait to peel off the cloth, gradually revealing the scabbard inside layer by layer.
According to Tang Zheng's request, Lu Yiluo made Han Jiangxue's sheath into the appearance of a sword sheath. The visual deception effect of it being a dagger when pulled out was still great.
Moreover, after using a variety of rare materials, and Lu Yiluo's skills have also improved greatly, the quality of this scabbard is much higher than the original scabbard of the sword and dagger.
Tang Zheng was stroking the scabbard, which also had a cool frosty white leather texture. The scabbard mouth and both sides were made of dark gold metal, with mysterious patterns outlined on them. It was probably some kind of special engraving array.
"Swish--" Tang Zheng ran into the room, took out the Han Jiangxue, which he had used as an air conditioner and refrigerator for several days, and inserted it directly into the scabbard.
The friction between the dagger and the scabbard only made a very slight sound, and the feel was extremely smooth.
"What a nice sheath! What a nice sheath!" Tang Zheng quickly hung the elegant and delicate sheath around his waist, and a kind of carefree swordsman style from the gaming world came to his mind.
Moreover, just as Lu Yiluo had said before, with this scabbard made of the skins of Qishuang Fuzhu and Aoxue Fuzhu as the main material, the chill that Han Jiangxue was emitting all the time was completely isolated and sealed in the scabbard, and the overly cool ice-blue mist also disappeared without a trace.
"Boy, you've got a bargain. After several days of hard thinking, I came up with the ingenious idea to make this scabbard. Now this scabbard can not only isolate the cold, but also store the cold and warm the dagger. If you often use this Hanjiangxue and the scabbard together, after years and months, there is a good chance that Hanjiangxue will be transformed from a two-star weapon to a three-star weapon, which will be enough for you to use to a five-star one!" Lu Yiluo ate a few skewers cleanly, then wiped his greasy lips with satisfaction and said to Tang Zheng.
"Is there such a benefit?" Tang Zheng took the Hanjiangxue sheath in his hand again, examined it carefully, and simply couldn't let it go. "Haha, it's a pity that Lao Lu said before that it can only meet the requirement of isolating the cold air, and it can't do anything else. Isn't it great in appearance, and it also has a super cool warming function. It seems that this guy is also a tsundere. He says no, but his body is still very honest..."
"Kid, what are you mumbling about? Let's go!" Lu Yiluo glared at Tang Zheng. He had already finished eating the skewers and was impatient to stay any longer, so he patted his butt and left.
Before Tang Zheng could even say thank you, Lu Yiluo had disappeared.
"This...the people I met today are all amazing people!" Tang Zheng couldn't help but complain when he recalled that Xi Ye left so abruptly and cleanly.
