Chapter 137 The Play Begins

  "It's going to be awkward when I see her again, forget it. Anyway, on the road to heaven, she is her own shackles. Now that the window paper has been pierced, I might as well make it clear and go after her."

  Zhang Shan comforted himself while thinking: "Besides, it seems that Shifu didn't really get angry?"

  "We'll talk about this later, for now let's focus on preparing everything we need for tomorrow."

  He cleared his mind of distractions and put away the Heaven Shaker. He went to the alchemy lab in the underground secret chamber and started making his little trinket.

  In the Mo Wang's manual, there was a method for making a Thunder Exploding Pearl. It wasn't very big, but its power was extremely strong, somewhat similar to his previous life's hand grenade, though it only had the size of a thumb.

  Zhang Shan planned to refine a batch today, in preparation for any unexpected needs. This Thunder Exploding Pearl can be made from various metals, with tiny explosive spell arrays engraved on its surface. During battle, it would explode when activated by one's divine sense, injuring the enemy.

  With his current means, he can inscribe up to three overlapping explosive runes, the power of which after exploding is equivalent to a single strike from a martial artist at the Sixth Stage of Spirit Marrow.

  This thing is a bit insufficient to deal with warriors, the warrior's hands are quick and won't stand still in one place for you to bomb. However, it has a great effect on fixed magic arrays, using multiple overlapping ones together, the explosive power is extremely stunning.

  After a busy half-day, he made more than 100 of them. Finally, after his spiritual energy was almost depleted, he stopped.

  Leaving the secret room, Zhangshan returned to his bedroom upstairs. Under the service of two maids, he finished dinner and instructed them on some matters before returning to his bedroom to rest and recover his spiritual energy.

  The next morning.

  Yuan Keyi arrived on time as agreed. After what happened yesterday, her impression of Zhang Shan had greatly changed and she no longer showed any hostility towards him.

  Zhang Shan chatted with her for a few sentences before suddenly saying: "Almost forgot, does Yuan Shifu have any hidden facial features or spiritual treasures?"

  "I have a treasure that conceals the moon's veil, and once I put it on, unless there is a difference of two major realms, even with divine sense, you won't be able to perceive my appearance. Hmm, why are you asking this?"

  Yuan Keyi asked strangely.

  "It's like this, you know I've been having some trouble lately, the Law Enforcement Hall is investigating and clearing up, so when Yuan Shifu and I went to Letian Town, please wear that veil again, otherwise being with me will have a bad influence on you."

  "What's the big deal? I'm not afraid of any impact." Yuan Keyi said nonchalantly.

  "Just put it on, you don't consider yourself, but also should consider your master. Before things are clear, it's really not suitable to get involved with me in public." Zhang Shan advised.

  "Well, that's okay then."

  Yuan Keyi nodded and looked at him with a gaze, saying: "I didn't expect you to still be so considerate of others, hmm, it seems that I was wrong about you in the past."

  Silly girl, you're so easy to believe in people, you'd probably even help them count the money if they sold you out. Zhang Shan couldn't help but think this, and a faint sense of guilt arose in his heart.

  He smiled awkwardly: "At that time, I was in such an environment, I had to be careful, so I overdid it a bit. It's okay if you don't blame me, Yuan Shifu."

  "Actually, I forgave you as soon as I got back yesterday."

  Yuan Keyi smiled with her head tilted, revealing a pair of cute dimples.

  "It's getting late, let's set off."

  Zhang Shan coughed and stood up, he couldn't bear to take advantage of her anymore.

  People came and went as usual in Letian Town. Zhang Shan and Yuan Keyi, who had already put on a veil, walked towards Qi Cuo Pavilion with smiles.

  In front of the gate of Qi Cuo Ge, an apprentice was pretending to be nonchalant and looking around, occasionally greeting customers who came and went.

  Suddenly, his pupils contracted, he lowered his head and quickly walked into the store.

  "The shopkeeper said, 'That man has arrived, but he's come with a woman wearing a veil.'"

  He went into one of the ear rooms inside the main hall to report.

  "Two people? You go and report to Young Master immediately, I'll receive them."

  The shopkeeper's face turned solemn, and he gave a low order before walking out to sit down behind the counter in the main hall.

  A moment later, Zhang Shan and Yuan Keyi walked in.

  The shopkeeper hastily stood up and went forward to greet them.

  A lavishly decorated room inside the mansion.

  Qiu Feixing listened to the news brought by his partner and nodded towards a silver mirror on the wall in the room.

  The silver mirror reflected the image inside the hall, and Zhang Shan and Yuan Keyi were seen talking to the shopkeeper.

  "Who is this woman? Wearing a veil, can't see her face, does Xing Shidi recognize her?" Qiu Feixing asked.

  Xing Yuebo looked at her twice and said thoughtfully: "Although she's wearing a veil, I feel like it's Ling Yuwei from Qingmu Peak."

  Qiu Feixing furrowed his brow and said: "With one more person, it's an unexpected turn of events. What do you think we should do now, Master Xing?"

  "Ling Yuwei's strength is too weak, having one more of her would just be another innocent soul, it wouldn't affect our plan at all. Besides, the arrow is already on the bowstring, it must be shot, does Master Qiu intend to give up?"

  "Then let's proceed with the plan, she followed Zhang Shan here, can only blame her bad luck, accompany him to send death." Qiu Feixing's eyes flashed a cold light.

  He turned to the fellow and said: "Inform Comrade Lian that everything will proceed according to plan."

  The fellow responded with a grunt and quickly walked out of the room.

  In the outer hall, Zhang Shan was chatting with the shopkeeper.

  Then invited into the ear room inside the main hall for tea.

  "Boss Lian looks like he's in good spirits again, must have made another big deal." Zhang Shan said with a smile while sipping his tea.

  The shopkeeper beamed with a smile: "It's all thanks to some familiar customers who helped us out. Please, do come back and visit us often in the future."

  They chatted for a while, when suddenly someone knocked on the door and said he had something to report. The shopkeeper excused himself and went out for a moment, but soon returned to the room.

  Zhang Shan said at this time: "I see that Lian Zhu is busy with his affairs, I won't sit for long either. Trouble Lian Zhu to take out my things."

  Lian Zhanggui coughed and said, "That's the situation. There's a small problem with your inner armor, so our master craftsman wants to talk to you in person."

  "What's going on? Won't it be broken or something? You guaranteed there wouldn't be any problem at all just the day before yesterday." Zhang Shan said with a frown.

  "It's just that something unexpected happened, you go and take a look yourself and you'll understand." Lian Zhuo's eyes sparkled, and the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.

  "Well, in that case, lead the way then, I'll take a look at what's going on."

  He said as he stretched out his hand towards Yuan Ke Yi: "I'll just go in and take a look, it shouldn't take too long."

  Yuan Keyi nodded in agreement and the two of them followed the shopkeeper out of the room, heading into the store.

  Passing through a central hall, after going out the door is a handrail corridor. Walking straight along the corridor to the end, there is a very large courtyard. The houses around the courtyard are surrounded by a circle, and from time to time, there are sounds of ding-dong-dang, like iron hitting sounds coming from inside.

  "This is our workshop for processing weapons. Please come this way, guest. This room is the refining chamber of our master craftsman, Wang."

  Lian Zhuangui introduced them while leading Zhang Shan and others into the innermost room in the courtyard.
