Chapter 925: Chapter 27: Known in Jianghu as the Black Lotus
Tang Fengyue watched Tianmiao’s figure disappear behind the curtain, then regained his composure and looked down at the crossbow in his hand, contemplating what Tianmiao had just said.
In the world today, none can match it.
None can match it.
None.
None.
Tang Fengyue suddenly widened his eyes, abruptly raising his head to look at the curtain.
Xu Lang was also contemplating Tianmiao’s words with a serious expression.
Just now, Tianmiao had fiddled with the crossbow, and Xu Lang indeed couldn’t understand it. The structure of something as intricate as a crossbow is understood by very few, so it’s not surprising that he didn’t get it. But he could understand the conversation between Tianmiao and Tang Fengyue!
He also saw the deeply affected look on Tang Fengyue’s face. He heard Tianmiao’s words of comfort to Tang Fengyue too.
Actually, Xu Lang also believed Tang Fengyue’s talent was unmatched in the world today. But Boss Tian could not only match but surpass it. The problem was, that the way Boss Tian emphasized the word "none" was so obviously different that even a fool could understand it.
What did Boss Tian mean by that? Could Boss Tian not be human?
How is that possible?
There can’t possibly be any mountain spirit monsters in this world.
"Boss Tian can’t possibly be a mountain spirit monster! Stop imagining things. Even if she isn’t human, she must be a deity. Mind your words, and don’t spread rumors. Otherwise, once I’ve made the new crossbow, I’ll test its power on you," Tang Fengyue’s voice suddenly echoed eerily in Xu Lang’s ear.
"Huh?" Xu Lang looked at Tang Fengyue, dumbfounded.
"You were the one who said it, questioning if Boss Tian might be a mountain spirit monster. I’m warning you, don’t disrespect Boss Tian. Otherwise, the minute you leave the tavern, I’ll kill you," Tang Fengyue said with a dark face.
"Hey? Aren’t we friends?" Xu Lang felt deeply hurt and asked accusingly.
"Yes," Tang Fengyue nodded.
"And that’s your attitude towards a friend?" Xu Lang asked, pained and disheartened.
"When it comes to Boss Tian, we aren’t friends. Anyone who disrespects Boss Tian is against me. Enough said, I’m going back to making the new crossbow. If it can fire ten rounds continuously, I’ll buy you a drink," Tang Fengyue waved his hand impatiently, signaling Xu Lang to leave.
Xu Lang: "..."
What more could Xu Lang say? Nothing at all.
This little brat, previously upset at Boss Tian’s sheltering of the Demon Sect Leader, now worships Boss Tian to the extreme.
People do change, after all.
Xu Lang shook his head and went to the front courtyard to find Shen Hanshu. The Shen Family was planning to open a shop in Xiangyang City and was currently looking for a location, with Shen Hanshu busying himself over this. In fact, the four great martial arts families all had their own businesses. Xu Lang wasn’t talented in this area, but his elder brother was. Xu Lang’s good relations in the martial world and court brought significant convenience to his family’s business.
The four great martial arts families all had extensive businesses, to put it plainly, Xu Lang and Shen Hanshu were wealthy.
Tianmiao was already sitting at the table in front of the hall, eating boiled peanuts. Naturally, these were brought by Old Sun.
Xu Lang walked over and sat in front of Tianmiao.
"Boss Tian, there’s something I’ve been thinking about, and I can’t help but want to ask you," Xu Lang hesitated but eventually said.
"Ask," Tianmiao replied indifferently.
"The crossbow is already a very powerful weapon. You suggested Tang Fengyue create one that can fire even more rounds continuously. Is it really a good idea to make such a weapon?" Xu Lang asked.
Tianmiao slowly lifted her head and looked at Xu Lang, saying, "I just don’t want you lovely great heroes to die young."
