Ye Chu chuckled and said, “You’d better pray that when Mo Ran comes looking for trouble, you can handle it yourself or find someone else to help you.”
He definitely didn’t say that because he was exposed and got defensive out of spite.
“Otherwise, if you want me to help you, you’ll have to pray that day I get possessed by the Virgin Mary and brainwashed…”
“Holy crap, bro! My kami! I was wrong! Please, be magnanimous and forgive my petty faults!”
Although Ye Qingyi thought Ye Chu was being petty, for the sake of her own life, she chose to immediately kneel and apologize at the speed of light.
Ye Chu grunted in satisfaction, “Mm,” his tone softening a bit.
“That’s more like it.”
After all, he couldn’t really abandon Ye Qingyi; enough was enough.
Ye Qingyi rolled her eyes inwardly but didn’t dare show it.
“In any case, Senior Brother Mo Ran won’t let this go.”
Wang Xiu shook his head.
“He’s currently on a mission outside the sect. When he finishes and learns that Senior Sister Shen Qian was injured because of you, he’ll definitely take action.”
“Moreover, Senior Brother Mo Ran is at the peak of Core Formation, and he carries weight in the sect. Several elders think highly of him.”
Wang Xiu solemnly warned Ye Qingyi, “Senior Sister Ye, be careful.”
In the sea of consciousness, Ye Chu snorted with a laugh: “I thought he was tough, but it’s just peak Core Formation? Well, given your strength, you really can’t handle it.”
Ye Qingyi didn’t respond.
She cursed Ye Chu thoroughly in her heart.
After all, it wasn’t him who would get beaten, so of course he could be so carefree.
“I understand. Thank you for telling me this, Junior Brother Wang.”
Wang Xiu nodded: “Senior Sister Ye, don’t mention it. Last time you guided me, I… I can’t just watch you remain in the dark.”
“Moreover, I don’t want Senior Sister Ye to take it out on Senior Sister Shen Qian. She… has already received her deserved retribution. I hope Senior Sister Ye can be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against Senior Sister Shen Qian from now on.”
Ye Chu laughed.
This young man was truly innocent.
He came to tip her off, claiming to worry about Ye Qingyi, but actually he was worried about Shen Qian, afraid that Ye Qingyi would again take out her anger on Shen Qian because of Mo Ran.
Isn’t this a form of deep affection?
Ye Qingyi nodded: “Don’t worry. I’m clear about grudges and favors. I’ve already taught Shen Qian a lesson. As long as she doesn’t cause me trouble in the future, I won’t do anything to her.”
“I hope Junior Brother Wang Xiu will also advise her.”
Wang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that given Ye Qingyi’s personality, she wouldn’t hold a grudge against Senior Sister Shen Qian, getting Ye Qingyi’s verbal promise undoubtedly made him feel more at ease.
He felt that Ye Qingyi still didn’t seem to take the matter of Mo Ran coming after her seriously, so he could only solemnly warn her again:
“Senior Sister Ye, the cultivation technique Senior Brother Mo Ran practices is very good at offense, and he has a Dharma artifact bestowed by the sect, said to be unstoppable by anyone below the Nascent Soul stage.”
“So please be careful, Senior Sister Ye, and try to avoid direct conflict with Senior Brother Mo Ran as much as possible.”
Ye Qingyi’s heart sank, but she didn’t let Wang Xiu see it.
She just nodded seriously: “I understand.”
Wang Xiu added a few more words about being careful, then left in a hurry.
The cave became quiet again.
Ye Qingyi’s fists clenched unconsciously.
Peak Core Formation cultivation and a Dharma artifact unstoppable below Nascent Soul.
If this guy let his love sickness get the better of him and used underhanded tactics to sneak attack or trick her, this beautiful young lady, how could she withstand it?
She was afraid she’d be in life-threatening danger before she could even call out Ye Chu!
She said to Ye Chu in her heart: “Didn’t you say at the beginning that the Taiyi Sacred Sect was a righteous sect?”
“How come I’ve only been here a few days, done nothing wrong, yet someone is coming to bully me?”
“And now I’m even in danger of my life!”
Although feeling a bit guilty, Ye Chu still said matter-of-factly, “This is the cruel world of cultivation. And back then, did you have room to refuse?”
Feng Xianyun is a good person; agreeing obviously had many benefits.
If Feng Xianyun were a bad person, refusing might immediately start a fight.
At the Nascent Soul stage, Ye Chu could protect Ye Qingyi, but others might not be so lucky.
Ye Qingyi understood this reasoning, but still couldn’t help feeling irritated: “So annoying!!!”
“How does this person have such an overpowered Dharma artifact, and I don’t!”
Ye Chu felt that Ye Qingyi was hinting at him, so he said unhurriedly, “Don’t worry, you’ll have it. Bread will always be there…”
Ye Qingyi snorted coldly and didn’t respond.
That guy introduced himself as a master artifact refiner when they first met, didn’t he?
It’s been so long, and he hasn’t refined any useful treasure for her!
Now she was deliberately hinting at him, but he still didn’t react.
Could it be fake?
No, she decided to come clean!
“Didn’t you say before that you were a very powerful artifact refiner?”
“Why haven’t I seen you refine any powerful Dharma artifacts for me to use?”
Ye Chu laughed.
So this is what she was waiting for.
He didn’t refine for Ye Qingyi before because it wasn’t necessary.
For Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, no matter how powerful the artifact, it would be discarded at Core Formation.
Moreover, with him around, did enemies below Nascent Soul need any powerful artifacts?
Isn’t it all a matter of one punch?
If that’s not enough, then a few more punches.
Also, he didn’t have any good refining materials.
Although the three families’ treasuries had some things he could use, the quantity was too small.
Now considering Ye Qingyi’s actual situation, Ye Chu decided it was time to forge a defensive artifact for her.
“Look for a black box in your storage pouch and take out what’s inside.”
Hearing this, Ye Qingyi thought Ye Chu had already prepared something for her, so she eagerly took it out.
“What? A big iron hammer and a few iron bricks? What does this mean?”
Ye Qingyi was dumbfounded.
Was Ye Chu asking her to smith?
What a joke!
She was just a delicate, weak woman!
“It’s just as you think. If you want a powerful artifact, make it yourself.”
“As the ancients said, ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.'”
“First step, use this big iron hammer to beat these iron bricks into iron sheets one centimeter thick.”
“Come on! I believe you can finish it soon!”
Ye Qingyi was stunned.
This was a tiny bit different from what she thought.
She stood frozen, feeling her hands already starting to ache.
“Ye Chu, are you serious?”
Ye Qingyi gritted her teeth internally.
“When have I ever joked?”
“You joke every day!”
Ye Chu laughed helplessly: “You don’t expect a spirit body like me to refine artifacts for you, do you?”
What Ye Chu said was so reasonable that Ye Qingyi didn’t know how to refute it for a moment.
Ye Chu continued to ask, “So, are you going to smith or not? If not, don’t call me when Mo Ran comes.”
Ye Qingyi took a deep breath and lifted the big iron hammer, which was much heavier than she imagined.
With a “thud,” the hammer struck off target, hitting the ground hard, and even almost hit Ye Qingyi’s own foot.
“Hey, sis! Don’t screw around! You even miss when smithing?!”
