Chapter 136: News About the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame
"The Fire Restraint Net is indeed a third-tier weapon!"
As the results of the evaluation were announced, everyone in the room couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"What a terrifying individual..." The members of the Liu family exchanged glances, each silently acknowledging the young man's incredible talent. A nineteen-year-old who could forge a third-tier weapon—this was something that could break records not just in the Mulan Empire, but across the entire northwest region!
"He... actually succeeded? He's only nineteen and can already forge third-tier weapons? That's unbelievable!" Lin Fei muttered in astonishment, her lips slightly parted.
Beside her, Xue Mei also nodded, though she had always known that Mo Yu was extraordinary. However, this level of talent was beyond extraordinary—it was monstrous.
At the same time, a sense of guilt welled up in Xue Mei's heart. She had doubted Mo Yu earlier, thinking he might have been boasting. But now, she realized how wrong she was, and the shame stung.
Glancing at Qing Lin, who had always believed in Mo Yu without question, Xue Mei felt she wasn't even as perceptive as his servant.
As the Liu family members around the room marveled at Mo Yu's abilities, Liu Ye, the head of the family, couldn't help but internally remark on Mo Yu's frightening potential. Even setting aside the fact that the Fire Restraint Net was a third-tier weapon, Mo Yu's control over the heat and his precise handling of the materials during the forging process were on par with, if not better than, that of seasoned third-tier weapon forgers. Liu Ye himself felt a twinge of inadequacy in comparison.
If a seasoned weapon forger with years of experience had displayed such skill, Liu Ye wouldn't have been surprised. But this young man was just a teenager... When Liu Ye was his age, he had only just become a first-tier weapon forger under the guidance of his father, the previous family head.
"Father, I don't believe it! How could he forge a third-tier weapon? He must have cheated!" Liu Xing's voice cut through the silence, his face twisted with jealousy as he shouted angrily. If it was confirmed that Mo Yu had indeed forged a third-tier weapon, then no matter how exceptional his Blazing Fire Spear was within the second tier, he had still lost the competition. Liu Xing found this impossible to accept.
Hearing this, Liu Ye frowned deeply. He had always been proud of his talented son, but now he realized that Liu Xing's arrogance had clouded his judgment. In front of so many high-ranking members of the Liu family, how could Mo Yu have possibly cheated? Was Liu Xing questioning Mo Yu, or doubting his own family?
"Enough, Xing'er. A loss is a loss. Our Liu family can afford to lose!" Liu Ye said sternly.
"No! I didn't lose! I didn't!" Liu Xing shouted, refusing to accept defeat. His eyes turned cold as he glared at Mo Yu, accusingly. "Mo Yu, you must have cheated! Admit it, or I won't let you leave the Liu family estate alive…"
"Enough!" Liu Ye interrupted harshly, signaling to the guards at the door. "Take Xing'er to his room and let him reflect on his behavior!"
The guards at the entrance exchanged uneasy glances but ultimately followed the family head's orders, escorting the future head of the Liu family out of the hall.
Seeing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. He had to admit, the Liu family head was sensible. If Liu Ye had tried to deny the results, Mo Yu was prepared to give him a serious lesson.
Observing Mo Yu's calm demeanor, Liu Ye felt uncertain. To produce such an outstanding disciple, Mo Yu's teacher must be incredibly powerful—certainly not someone the Liu family could afford to provoke lightly. If they detained Mo Yu, they might be courting a disaster far greater than they could handle.
"Master Liu, it seems the results of the competition are clear. As for the bet between me and Liu Xing?" Mo Yu asked, bringing the conversation back to the agreement.
Liu Ye smiled. "Don't worry. Since I agreed to the competition, I won't go back on my word. In a few days, I'll write to Brother Xue to formally cancel the marriage between Xing'er and Xue Mei."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xue Mei's face lit up with joy. She stepped forward quickly, expressing her gratitude. "Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your understanding."
"Hehe, you should be thanking Mo Yu instead," said Elder Liu Fa with a laugh. "If it weren't for you finding such an outstanding partner, this marriage wouldn't have been so easily annulled."
Hearing this, a blush crept across Xue Mei's cool face as she looked at Mo Yu, who remained calm and unflustered, as if winning the competition was no big deal. A certain feeling slowly began to grow in her heart.
"Well then, it's almost noon. Why don't you all stay for lunch?" Liu Ye offered. He then turned to Mo Yu, his smile widening. "Brother Mo Yu, I have a favor to ask. Could we talk privately?"
"Oh?" Mo Yu paused, curious about the request. He nodded. "Since Master Liu invites me, I won't refuse."
With the Violet Flame protecting him, Mo Yu wasn't worried about any tricks. He was also intrigued about what Liu Ye wanted to discuss.
Seeing Mo Yu agree, Liu Ye's serious expression relaxed into a smile. After giving orders for lunch preparations, he led Mo Yu to a study.
Once inside the elegantly decorated study, Mo Yu took a moment to appreciate the surroundings before getting straight to the point. "Master Liu, what can I help you with?"
Liu Ye hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking. "Brother Mo Yu, I wonder if you would be willing to share the blueprint for the Fire Restraint Net with the Liu family?"
Mo Yu's expression instantly hardened, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Liu Ye.
Weapon blueprints, like alchemy formulas, were the lifeblood of a weapon forger. Although the third-tier blueprint of the Fire Restraint Net wasn't particularly precious to Mo Yu, the idea that someone might covet it was enough to make him consider delivering a harsh lesson.
Sensing the sudden change in Mo Yu's demeanor, Liu Ye felt a shiver of unease. Just a moment ago, he had felt a vague sense of danger emanating from the young man. Shaking off the thought, Liu Ye chuckled softly. "You misunderstand me, Brother Mo Yu. I'm not asking for it for free. I intend to offer something of equal value in exchange."
"What exactly are you offering?" Mo Yu asked, his tone still cold. He had no need for the gold coins typically offered in such trades—his current wealth far exceeded that.
"A piece of information," Liu Ye replied, surprising Mo Yu.
"What information?" Mo Yu asked, his interest piqued.
"The Fire Restraint Net has unique properties for resisting high temperatures and flames, even capable of briefly restraining lesser Heavenly Flames. Brother Mo Yu, you must have a specific purpose for creating such an item," Liu Ye said with a knowing smile. Then, lowering his voice, he added, "The information I offer concerns the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame..."
