Chapter 42 Moonlight on the Willow Tips 2

  Continue to watch the fire, it's the last moment, and naturally need to be more careful!

  No one disturbed him, and he stayed by the high-temperature furnace until the moment it was fired up, except for going to the toilet, even eating was done by the furnace.

  Some people are also very suspicious, how can Xiao Yao tolerate such high temperatures. Even if the people here are very tolerant of high temperatures, they won't always be by the stove, and there's another strange thing, Xiao Yao hasn't sweated at all in this situation.

  This is not that Xiao Yao won't sweat, but because he converts high heat into a driving force to promote internal power, using internal power to defend against high temperatures.

  Not only low temperature can promote the operation of internal force, high temperature is also possible!!

  In fact, Xiaoyao not only cultivates his internal strength here, but also integrates his own cultivation in other places. Many years ago, Xiaoyao discovered that everything can be done with a certain law of martial arts.

  To put it simply, a carefree person can find ways to cultivate themselves in anything they do, such as cultivating knife skills and arm strength while in the kitchen.

  That's why he doesn't mind doing anything, and what surprises him is that martial arts training can make him more proficient in these things, and being proficient in these things can also improve his martial arts training.

  And because of this, Xiaoyao is even more unwilling to refuse learning other things. At the same time, he will strive to bring everything to its highest level, not only to perfectly fulfill his family responsibilities but also to gain insight into other things.

  At first, it may have been a bit difficult, but as he went further, he found that it became simpler and simpler, with many things being interconnected, one principle connects everything!!

  As long as you grasp the rules and tricks, everything will be easy to learn!

  Back to the topic, Xīao had already put the pre-made sword mold in place before the iron water came out of the furnace. Then, controlling the crucible, he accurately poured the iron water into the sword mold without a single drop spilling over.

  In this sword casting workshop, only Xiao Yao can achieve this, others will more or less have some waste!

  With such a level of proficiency, I believe that even the number one sword casting mountain villa in the world would want someone with such talent, so Xiao Yao is very popular!

  Many people don't understand why Xīao Yáo, this young man, who could have gotten something much better, is willing to be just a small household servant.

  However, these things need to be noticed by people, and if Xiao Yao remains low-key like this, he will never be noticed. But once he is noticed, even small things can become big deals.

  People are like that, they won't care about the small people around them, even if this small person is very outstanding, no matter how many things the small person has done, they will not be noticed. But once this person becomes a big shot, even if he's not very outstanding, he'll still get attention, even if it's just doing something small and imperfect, he'll still get noticed!

  After completing the sword mold, he put it in a very secret place that only he could open, and at this time, there was only one person in the entire sword casting workshop, and he also believed that no one would see his completed sword mold.

  He then went to the bathhouse in the Sword Casting Workshop to wash and change, before hurrying to the flower lantern festival where Eldest Miss was. At this time, there was only one place in Qingyun City that had a flower lantern festival, so even if Eldest Miss hadn't said anything, he would have known.

  Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qingyun City will hold a grand Lantern Festival in the central avenue.

  Playing with flower lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating glutinous rice balls, and some literary activities will all take place on this evening, which has already gone halfway, I reckon even if I hurry over now it'll be the second half.

  However, the second half was also very exciting, and it was a must-see. Moreover, even if it's the end, it's better to experience it late than not at all.

  When they arrived at the square, Xiao Yao quickly discovered a small problem - where was Big Sister?!

  Although I knew that the young lady was at this flower lantern festival, but here on this wide road of nearly thirty meters, it's all crowded with people, and the scene is so chaotic that it's hard to find a young lady among them.

  Guessing lantern riddles?

  Although Big Sister said she was going to guess lantern riddles, it's impossible for everyone to stay there, and the chances of finding her are very slim. However, having some hope is better than none at all.

  Xiaoyao decided to go guess lantern riddles first, and along the way, she also paid attention to see if she could find her older sister.

  "Boss, give me a bowl of yuanxiao, I want sesame!" Xiangyang first ordered a bowl of yuanxiao at a stall selling yuanxiao and ate it in front of the stall.

  Then, I went to buy a small flower lamp, and then I went to find a snack stall to buy some snacks...

  That's when Big Sister spotted Xiao Yao, and her temper immediately flared up!

  "My goodness! You little rascal is really enjoying yourself, having a blast, aren't you!!"

  The furious young lady appeared in front of him, leisurely took a bite of her snack, and said: "Young lady, I've been searching for you with great difficulty, where would I have the time to play? Enjoying myself is even more impossible!! Ah...!"

  Took another bite!

  "That's right, it's so tiring! With lanterns on my shoulders and bags of snacks in my hands, I have to use my busy hands to eat, it's really too exhausting!!" The big sister is already almost at the edge of bursting.

  "This isn't even for your sake that I rushed over, and didn't even have time to eat dinner. Young Miss, are these expenses reimbursable or not?" Xīao Yáo said, his words having a tendency to be infuriating.

  "Reimburse your head!" The big sister was furious, snatching a bag of snacks from Xiao Yao's hand. "I've been waiting for you here for so long, and now you finally show up, still having time to eat and buy things. Believe it or not, I'll make you pay!!"

  Then, the big sister picked up the snacks she had snatched away and ate them all up!!

  Of course it's eaten, can't just throw it away?

  Watching the big sister devour her snacks like she was eliminating an enemy, Xiao Yao didn't mind and continued eating something else while casually asking: "Big sister, how's your progress going? Is there any update?"

  "There's something..." The young lady said while eating, she seemed a bit hungry too.

  At this time, the behavior of these two people made some people feel strange and puzzled. How could a young lady be so close to a small servant? The feeling was absolutely not that of master and servant, but more like friends or family members.

  Could it be that this little fellow is one of Mo's family members, but somehow has never been seen before?

  Of course, there is also someone who has seen it in the middle and has a deep impression of Xiao Yao. That is the eldest sister of the Nan Gong family. She came to play with several young ladies from the Nan Gong family today.

  Among them is naturally included the Third Miss Nanguo. If she were not here, the Eldest Young Mistress would not have waited until now without leaving. She has no interest in these lantern riddles.

  "Hmph!" The young mistress of the Nangong family snorted disdainfully from a distance.

  "What's wrong, Sister?" The several Nangong misses were somewhat puzzled, because they weren't unfamiliar with Nangong Suxin being like this, it was just that this humming sound came a bit too suddenly, and they didn't know who it was directed at.

  "It's nothing, I just saw a despicable person!" Nangong Suzi replied.

  “？？”

  ……

  Back here, Xiao Yao casually asked again: "How's the progress?"

  "I just talked to Nangong Su and was rejected!" The young lady replied, her tone very calm, as if she wasn't returning in defeat.

  "This is also considered progress?" Xiao Yao asked back with a bad tone.

  "Of course! I just failed, that's all..." The young lady replied with a straight face.

  "Alright, let's just say that! Is there anything else?" Xiao Yao said helplessly, unable to reason with the young lady in front of him.

  "Yes, I just went to guess lantern riddles with them, and as a result, I lost and was ridiculed by them!" The young lady is still so calm, as if it's a very ordinary thing.

  She, carefree, looked at the several South Palace sisters, he knew that Big Sister was referring to these few South Palace ladies. If Big Sister went, she would definitely be given a hard time. These women were formidable, and Xiao Yao had investigated them before. Except for Nan Gong Su, who was relatively harmless, the others were not easy to deal with.

  "Damn it! You've been ridiculed, let's go find a place to save face!" Xīao's expression turned serious. After all, she was the young mistress of our household, and being ridiculed by others made us, as her servants, lose face as well.

  "Alright, let's go and have a match with them right now! If we win, I'll reward you heavily. But if we lose, you won't see the sun tomorrow!" The young lady said excitedly.

  "......" You're being so unreasonable, I'm trying to help you, and this is how you treat me.

  "It's just a one-day confinement, it's not like you're going to die or anything! Why are you looking so miserable?" The young lady said with a glance.

  "…No need, I won't see tomorrow's sun anyway. I'm going to train at the Sword Casting Workshop, and don't look for me in the next month, I'll be busy!" said Xiao Yao.

  "Oh, then you go ahead with your business, I'm going to participate in the Longmen competition preliminaries! Hmm, that's not right, are you going to be at Zhu Xiang Fang for a month? Does it really take that long?" The young lady asked somewhat curiously, she knew that Xiao Yao was forging a sword for Gu Xing, but how could one sword possibly require an entire month.

  Xiao Yao took a bite of his snack and replied, "Got it! It was almost enough to begin with, but I think I'll add some more things. One month might not be enough."

  "In a month, that must be a good sword. At that time, I'll take a look too. If it's good, you can also get one for me." The young lady believed that Xiao Yao would forge a sword and might unexpectedly turn out to be very good, because she had already seen Xiao Yao's unexpectedness more than once.

  "...we'll talk about it later..." Xiao Yao didn't want to make a promise because this would really take up too much time.

  "When the time comes, you'll see to it yourself, humph!" The young lady clearly saw that Xiao Yao was perfunctorily placating her and immediately threatened. [bookid=1784657,bookname="Alchemist's Storm"] Ranking battle begins, seeking recommendations...
