Chapter 1933 The Cold Glimpse of the Arrow

While Lü Song was sharpening the rust on the arrows, Lu Zhaoling and Yin Changxing sat in the hall, each of them slowly sipping a cup of hot tea, their minds seemingly preoccupied with many things.

Anyway, none of them look very easy.

They've been dealing with a lot of things lately.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Lu Zhaoling glanced around at everyone and couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong with everyone? Why are you all so quiet?"

She then looked at Yin Changxing and asked, "Master, why don't we talk about rebuilding the First Mystic Sect first? Aren't you happy to have received so much gold and silver today?"

With this large sum of money, the reconstruction of the First Mystic Sect should not be difficult.

Yin Changxing glanced at her and took out a small roll of paper from his pocket.

“Take a look.”

"What is it?" Lu Zhaoling walked over, took the small roll of paper, and unfolded it.

Yin Yunting and the others also came over to take a look.

It turned out to be several blueprints.

The drawing depicts a building that resembles a palace.

Mountain gate, stone steps, main hall.

There are several other buildings behind it.

Looking at these drawings, Lu Zhaoling vaguely remembered them.

"Master, is this what the First Mystic Sect originally looked like?"

"Hmm," Yin Changxing said, "So that's how it is. I drew it from memory. But I plan to make some changes. Do you have any suggestions or requests?"

Lu Zhaoling said, "I don't have any recollection of it yet, and I don't know what should be changed..."

“The stone steps at the mountain gate weren’t long enough,” Yin Changxing said calmly. “I want to increase the number of steps to nine hundred and ninety-nine.”

"Hiss." Lu Zhaoling gasped. "Such high steps? I hate climbing steps the most."

“It doesn’t matter. You hate it, and others hate it too. It’s hard for ordinary people to climb up.” Yin Changxing suddenly sneered and said, “Those who casually follow people to the door begging for this and that probably won’t be able to climb up.”

Yin Yunting looked at him.

Zhou Shiyue's gaze also shifted over. He had a feeling that Yin Changxing meant that in the past, people from the First Mystic Sect would always come to their door asking them for favors.

Those people who made Yin Changxing remember this must have done something wrong.

Or were those the people who ultimately forced Lu Xiaoer?

"And there's the back hill. The wall behind the courtyard wasn't high enough before. After the reconstruction, I'm going to build a high wall."

Yin Changxing then said, "Seal off the road behind the mountain as well, and set up a talisman array to prevent people from entering."

“Master,” Lu Zhaoling said with amusement, “you seem to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.”

So now we have to guard against this and that.

Yin Changxing glanced at her.

"As a teacher, I also have to be wary of some of my disciples who are always wandering around when they have nothing to do, and then they end up rescuing this person or that person."

Lu Zhaoling pointed to herself.

Who? Her?

Was she this kind of person before?

"The rust on the arrow has been cleaned off."

Lü Song brought in the half-arrow, carrying a wooden tray.

His expression looked a little strange.

“This arrow is unusual,” Lü Song said.

"Let me see it." Zhou Shiyue was the first to wave, signaling him to send the arrow over.

Lü Song then presented the broken arrow to him.

Lu Zhaoling also walked over quickly.

When she saw the broken arrow, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Junior Brother Lü, is this really the same broken arrow from before?" It wasn't that she didn't believe Lü Song, but the arrow had completely changed appearance.

Previously, the arrowheads were covered in thick rust, so they assumed they were just ordinary iron arrowheads.

But now the rust has been completely worn away and cleaned, revealing the arrowhead in its original form: silver, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, sharp, and with a shape that is both fierce and beautiful.

Moreover, a simple eagle head is engraved on the tip of the blade, just a few strokes, yet it conveys a sense of aloofness.

The arrow even has an engraved mark, which means it's definitely not something an ordinary person would use.

Moreover, even after the rust was worn away, the arrowhead did not show much wear.

“It wasn’t all rust before; some of it was soil that had accumulated on it, so it wasn’t as badly rusted as we initially thought,” Lü Song said.

Zhou Shiyue picked up the half arrow and gently stroked the arrowhead with his fingers.

When she saw his fingers lightly touch the tip of the arrow, Lu Zhaoling didn't know why, but she subconsciously reached out and grabbed his wrist, holding it tightly.

Zhou Shiyue looked up at her.

Lu Zhaoling was a little flustered. "Be careful, this arrow looks very sharp."

What the hell? Why does she feel a little panicked?

Zhou Shiyue curled her lips slightly, "Do you think I'm such a careless person?"

“This arrow is something the Great Zhou has never seen before,” he added.

"Has no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty ever made such an arrow?" Lu Zhaoling said. "Whether someone did make it, you don't know."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty does not allow the manufacture of weapons. Those who forge iron, cast swords, or make knives must register with the government. Even if some families want to make their own weapons, they must report to the government."

Zhou Shiyue spoke of these things as if they were very familiar.

"Of course, it's not impossible for someone to make arrows secretly without being caught, but I can't think of anyone who has that kind of ability."

"After all, once such an arrow is made, it's impossible for it not to have been used. Once it's used and seen by someone, rumors will naturally spread."

Lü Song was somewhat surprised.

The Prince of Jin meant that he would know as soon as any related rumors spread.

What does this mean?

This shows that he was actually watching many people and things all along.

“That’s definitely not an arrow from the Great Zhou period,” Yin Changxing suddenly said. “This kind of arrow is from the Great Jin period. The arrowhead is relatively long, and there is a fishbone-like ridge in the middle of the arrowhead. It is the Jade Bone Flowing Light Arrow created by the last empress of the Great Jin.”

Everyone turned to look at him.

Yin Changxing seemed oblivious to their shock and continued, "And the Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty came from the He Kingdom."

The country of He has an even longer history.

Back when the Great Jin Dynasty still existed, the He Kingdom was at its peak.

The young emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty sought to marry the beloved princess of the He Kingdom, thus establishing a marriage alliance between the two countries.

Yin Changxing said just a few words.

Lu Zhaoling was taken aback and said, "What? There's a He Kingdom? I've never heard of it."

“Well, even the Great Jin Dynasty is gone, so of course you haven’t heard of the He Kingdom,” Yin Changxing said. “Because the Great Jin and the He Kingdom had a marriage alliance less than ten years ago, and the He Kingdom suffered a series of misfortunes, eventually submitting to the Great Jin.”

Everyone found it hard to believe.

Originally, the He Kingdom was powerful, so how could it have submitted to the Great Jin in less than ten years?

"Because the little princess of He Kingdom betrayed her country, digging up large swathes of He Kingdom's cities and giving them to her husband."

hiss.

Lu Zhaoling frowned.

I really don't like that.
