236: You offended someone you shouldn't have offended.

It would be better to do him a favor, which would also make people remember him more.

After hearing Feng Zhi’s words, Ge Yunying also nodded and said, “Those beast crystals aren’t worth much, Miss Gu Mingzhu, just take them.”

Who wouldn't want a quad-core weapon?

But people must know their limits.

The rare ores were all put in by Wang Yi and Gu Mingzhu, so the resulting weapons should rightfully be distributed by the two of them.

“Alright then.”

Gu Mingzhu was not a sentimental person; she took the long staff from Wang Yi’s hand and loved it.

After playing with it for a while, Gu Mingzhu put the long staff into her storage bag, brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead, and said to Wang Yi, “I can’t let you suffer a loss. How about tomorrow we bring your longbow and see if this microwave oven can also inlay beast crystals into it?”

“This… will it work?”

Wang Yi had never thought of this.

“Let’s give it a try. I heard my senior brother say that even if a Weapon Refiner fails to refine a weapon, at least eighty percent of the rare ores used can still be salvaged,” Gu Mingzhu said.

“If that’s the case, it’s worth a try.”

Wang Yi, of course, also wanted to own a quad-core weapon. Hearing Gu Mingzhu say this, he had already made up his mind to bring his longbow tomorrow and give it a shot.

The longbow felt very good in his hand, and this was without any beast crystals inlaid.

If a few beast crystals were inlaid… just thinking about it, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel excited.

Seeing Gu Mingzhu and Wang Yi chatting happily and laughing about this, Ge Yunying subtly lowered her head.

She and Wang Yi were indeed not from the same world.

Gu Mingzhu was.

It was right to stay away from him as soon as possible… But then Gu Mingzhu suddenly turned around and said, “And you two, we all have weapons, so we can’t let you go empty-handed. Next time, we’ll bring more rare ores and forge a handy weapon for each of you two as well.”

Ge Yunying suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She actually… Unlike the other emotions mixed with Ge Yunying’s shock, Feng Zhi was simply excited: “Really? That’s great! No wonder everyone says that Miss Gu Mingzhu of the City Lord’s Mansion is upright and kind, with a chivalrous heart, and also as beautiful as a flower, lovely and gentle…”

Wang Yi: ???

What was all this?

Did these words even apply to Gu Mingzhu?

“As beautiful as a flower” was alright, but “kind” and “gentle”—those didn't even come close to describing Gu Mingzhu, alright?!

Yet, Gu Mingzhu accepted all of it, raising her head proudly and saying, “Hmm, it seems you have a good eye.”

Feng Zhi quickly played along: “Of course!”

Wang Yi: “…”

He truly had no shame for money.

“Thank you,” Ge Yunying also stepped forward and thanked Gu Mingzhu. To be honest, she didn't dislike Gu Mingzhu; on the contrary, she even liked her a little.

It was just… the disparity between them was too great. Sometimes, for some people, it was better not to become a burden to each other.

“What are you being polite for? Let’s go.” Gu Mingzhu wouldn't dwell on such minor matters; in her opinion, anything that wasn't a matter of life or death was a small thing.

“Okay.”

...155 Fortress, Martial Artist Training Base.

“Who among you is Xiao Yue?”

In the first-year theory classroom, a tall young man, whose muscles were visible even through his clothes, suddenly appeared and immediately asked who Xiao Yue was.

The students in the classroom looked at each other, whispering, but no one answered.

Seeing this, the young man felt he had been slighted, so he strode to the podium and brought his hand down on the wide podium.

With a “boom,” the podium shattered into pieces. If the students in the front row hadn't run quickly, they would probably have suffered some injuries.

“I’ll ask again, who among you is Xiao Yue? Step out!”

His gaze was fierce and intimidating; some students below were almost scared to tears.

At this moment, a student suddenly said, “Teacher Xiao Yue isn’t here. We are all students.”

“Not here?” The young man frowned tightly, seemingly judging the truthfulness of the student’s words.

Where there was one, there was a second. Immediately, another student spoke up: “This class was supposed to be Teacher Xiao’s, but he hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Yes, Teacher Xiao hasn’t arrived yet!”

There were also those who disliked the young man’s use of violence: “If you’re looking for Teacher Xiao, go to the office. What are you doing in our classroom?”

“Exactly, just because you’re tall doesn’t mean anything, does it?”

“Who doesn’t have the ability to split a podium with their hand?”

“…”

The young man frowned even deeper, but since Xiao Yue wasn't there, there was no point in him waiting, so he prepared to leave.

However, at the classroom door, he ran head-on into the late Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue hadn't realized what was going on, thinking it was a teacher from another class coming to maintain discipline, so he said, “Sorry, I’m late. I was delayed by something on the way.”

He thought that after saying this, the person opposite him would move aside and let him enter the classroom, but the person opposite remained motionless.

Xiao Yue felt puzzled and looked up at him: “This….”

Teacher, or classmate?

Xiao Yue was certain he didn't know this young man and had no impression of him.

Why would he suddenly block the classroom door and prevent him from entering to teach?

“You are Xiao Yue?” The young man’s aura was strong, and his expression was unfriendly.

Xiao Yue carefully looked at the young man, but still had no impression.

“I am. Is there something you need me for?” he said.

“Hmph, it’s you I’m looking for.” The young man didn’t waste many words, directly gathering his primal energy into his palm and fiercely throwing a punch at Xiao Yue!

Xiao Yue didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack, but his reaction speed was at least not slow. He quickly dodged to the side and then similarly used primal energy to counterattack: “Who exactly are you? Why are you suddenly attacking me? Have I offended you?”

His question hit the mark. The young man grabbed Xiao Shen’s hand and said, “You haven’t offended me, but you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have!”

Xiao Yue was even more confused, completely bewildered.

However, he knew this was the Martial Artist Training Base, and right at the classroom door, so Xiao Yue didn’t use his full strength, only intending to defend himself, which was why his fist was easily grabbed by the other party.

His father had warned him that there were many big figures in the Martial Artist Training Base, and he might casually run into a teacher who was a direct descendant of some director, so he must think carefully before making a move.

He also couldn't strike too heavily, to prevent being held accountable afterward.

Xiao Yue had finally taken some of these words to heart, but it also made him very uncomfortable. If he couldn't offend anyone, was he still Xiao Yue?

However, Xiao Yue also knew that circumstances were stronger than people. He was just a bit arrogant sometimes, not an idiot.
