187- Malicious Scheme in the Dark

Ch187 – Malicious Scheme in the Dark

Bai Susu was extremely fearful of Bai Yichen, so she didn’t dare to say anything more as soon as she heard his name.

Bai Honghu also remained silent. Although reforging wasn’t his strength, as a member of the Bai family, and especially a member of the more valued portion, he had naturally practiced reforging before, so he could still compete with the others.

Moreover–

Attack weapons that required reforging were more prone to causing uncontrollable and unpredictable accidents in the crafting process. Even if someone was accidentally injured or killed, it wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary.

Since the remaining six Bai family craftsmen onstage didn’t put forth any opinions, the others would naturally not say much either. The majority of craftsmen looked to the Bai family as the authority on crafting.

Huangfu Jin secretly thought that this Bai family’s young master, who rarely ever made an appearance, indeed held an extraordinary and supreme position within the Bai family. He gave out a competition topic so difficult that even a layman like Huangfu Jin felt that this was too inconceivable, yet these Bai family craftsmen actually didn’t even dare to make a single objection.

He clicked his tongue in admiration. Someday, when he had time, he would go to this Bai family’s young master to ask for some advice on releasing such a sovereign and imposing aura without even needing to be angry.

Huangfu Jin deliberately spoke to Lin Xuanzhi, “If Craftsmen Lin has any opinions, let’s hear them.”

Lin Xuanzhi thought in his heart, the content of this competition was obviously determined already, so there’s no way anything would be changed just because of a single disagreement from him. Clearly, Huangfu Jin still has a bone to pick with him.

So Lin Xuanzhi calmly replied, “I have only one question.”

“Let’s hear it.” Huangfu Jin’s eyes twinkled slightly. He waited for Lin Xuanzhi to express his dissatisfaction so that Huangfu Jin could grab onto that opening and mercilessly slap his face with it–

These days, he didn’t know whether Leng Jixue had fallen under an enchantment or some other form of possession, but he unexpectedly brought up Lin Xuanzhi’s name multiple times without rhyme or reason, which infuriated Huangfu Jin so much that his lungs were about to burst from anger.

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t express any dissatisfaction, as if he had seen through Huangfu Jin, and instead asked, “I want to know — if these broken treasures are completely destroyed in our hands, will we have to provide compensation?”

Huangfu Jin, “…”

Huangfu Jin glared at Lin Xuanzhi as the corners of his lips twitched, “Of course not. The Huangfu family has not yet reached the point where we can’t even afford to part with these few items.”

It seemed that these treasures, which were close to becoming complete trash, were sponsored by the Huangfu family.

“Then what if they were successfully reforged?” Lin Xuanzhi continued to ask, “Would the items belong to us, or to the Huangfu family?”

Huangfu Jin stood with both his hands clasped behind his back and looked askance at Lin Xuanzhi as he spoke with some disdain, “As I said, the Huangfu family hasn’t yet reached the point where we can’t even afford to part with these few items.”

Lin Xuanzhi turned a blind eye to it, as if he hadn’t seen Huangfu Jin’s contempt and the laughter coming from the audience below. He nodded, “In that case, I can rest assured.”
