MEIWITA Chapter 450: Only Care About Me
Lou Mu Yan, however, didn’t feel any heartache about smashing out the talismans. Something that others would spend tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones on, she could do it with only a few hundred Spiritual Stones.
The refining of talismans was very complicated. In many cases, an advanced Talisman Master may spend several sets of materials to refine a talisman successfully.
The higher the grade of the talisman, the lower the success rate of refining the talisman, and the more materials wasted, so naturally the cost price was higher.
But that same one set of materials in Lou Mu Yan’s hands could be used to refine five to ten talismans with the same effect, which greatly reduced the waste.
The ability to stack talismans and the method for refining multiple talismans from one set of materials were both learned from the Talisman Pagoda of Enlightenment of the Eight Extremes Sect.
During the preliminaries, she was too lazy to fight, and it just so happened that some of her talismans’ effects needed to be improved, so she tested the flawed talismans she had refined on those pupils.
“Headmaster Feng, Headmaster Huo, congratulations! You actually have a pupil from your Sect this time who entered the semi-finals of all six competitions. This kind of result has only been achieved by the genius Chi Xiu of the Heavenly Secret Palace last session.” The Sword Sect’s Headmaster said with a somewhat envious smile.
Before Headmaster Feng could speak, another Elder of the Vast Mountain Sect spoke first: “That girl is indeed good but is still far from enough to be compared to Chi Xiu.”
In their minds, there was no possibility for those two to be compared at all.
“You’ll know whether there’s a difference or not when the time comes, do you need to be so talkative.” Huo Ling Long snorted coldly, got up and left the competition arena.
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace watched the graceful and imposing figure disappear, and his eyes dimmed.
He closed his eyes—Ling Long still hated him right?
But time couldn’t be turned back, and the damage he had caused couldn’t be repaired. Even if he dug out his heart for her now, she probably wouldn’t care about it anymore.
Not long after Lou Mu Yan returned to the courtyard of the Eight Extremes Sect did Headmaster Feng summon her.
In addition to her, there were also several pupils who had also successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
The Eight Extremes Sect’s luck this time still wasn’t very good. In the six individual competitions, they encountered many very strong opponents from each sect.
Twenty people participated in the preliminaries, but only twelve advanced to the semi-finals, so almost half was eliminated.
“I called you all here today because I mainly wanted to ask how confident you all are in the semi-finals?” Headmaster Feng asked straightforwardly.
“I’m ninety percent certain that I’ll make it to the finals of the Array Competition, while I’m only twenty-percent confident in the Strength Competition.” Di Shi Tian was the first to speak.
Lou Mu Yan knew that Di Shi Tian was very accomplished in arrays, so that should’ve been a conservative estimate.
With his comprehension abilities that achieved the seventh floor of the Array Pagoda of Enlightenment, there wouldn’t be a problem in entering the top five of the Array Competition.
Zi Che Shi then said: “I have eighty percent confidence in entering the finals of the Talisman Competition, and also only twenty percent certainty in the Strength Competition.”
“In the Alchemy Competition, I only have fifty-percent confidence to enter the finals and thirty percent for the Strength Competition.” Luo Cheng smiled bitterly.
He was the strongest in alchemy among the newly promoted Inner Pupils of the Alchemy School, but after the gathering of the Six Major Sects, just limelight alone was all given to Bai Fei Yao and Wei Yu.
Most importantly was that he knew in his heart that if he faced those two, he would definitely lose.
The others also roughly talked about their confidence and most of them only said they had twenty to thirty percent confidence.
Headmaster Feng sighed. This kind of achievement seemed similar to the previous sessions. Could it be that this time, their Eight Extremes Sect was going to be at the bottom again?
“Lou girl, how confident are you for the semi-finals?” Seeing that Lou Mu Yan hadn’t spoken yet, Headmaster Feng asked with a rare eagerness.
Lou Mu Yan’s gorgeous face was filled with a domineering self-confidence, and she said: “A hundred percent.”
“…” Hearing her bold words, let alone the other pupils present, even Headmaster Feng couldn’t resist twitching the corner of his lips.
A hundred percent. Just how confident was she to dare say such a thing.
“Cough cough…” Headmaster Feng coughed lightly and smiled kindly: “Lou girl, we also know that you have that ability, but no matter what, you can’t take it lightly. Many pupils of the other Sects wouldn’t have shown their true capabilities in the preliminaries.”
“I see!” Lou Mu Yan replied lazily, disregarding it.
Headmaster Feng was just too conservative in his thinking, so that’s why he couldn’t surpass Huo Ling Long in terms of cultivation base and specialisations.
Seeing that Lou Mu Yan and Huo Ling Long both revealed a casual and indifferent attitude, Headmaster Feng was going to go crazy.
“‘The Emperor isn’t in a hurry, but the eunuch is1’, do you need to be so anxious?” Huo Ling Long glanced at Headmaster Feng with a look of disgust—what a good-for-nothing.
Headmaster Feng’s old face grew red, then it darkened, and he said angrily: “Isn’t it because I’m worried about the ranking of our Sect. Who can be like you two and be so nonchalant.”
“You call them over to talk about confidence, Lou girl said a hundred percent yet you don’t believe. Aren’t you looking for unhappiness for yourself?” Huo Ling Long felt that Headmaster Feng, this old artefact, really was living so wearily.
“You can all leave, have a good rest and prepare for the semi-finals starting the day after tomorrow.” Headmaster Feng sighed and waved his hands dismissively at Lou Mu Yan and the others.
After exiting, Di Shi Tian, Zi Che Shi, the others, and Lou Mu Yan, said a few words then went back to their own rooms to prepare for the semi-finals.
The moment Lou Mu Yan pushed the door open, she there was a familiar scent.
Sure enough, the door closed automatically, and her entire body was embraced by a tall man from behind.
“Coming to find me now, aren’t you scared of being discovered by the superiors of the Heavenly Secret Palace.” Lou Mu Yan asked with a chuckle.
Ming Xiu took out a little cyan ball and tossed it. The little ball turned into a layer of cyan light that enveloped the room.
“They won’t be able to discover it.” Ming Xiu pulled Lou Mu Yan to a chair and sat down, holding her in his lap as usual.
“You should still better be careful.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were dyed with concern.
The true identity of Ming Xiu was the Monarch of the Nine-Layer Hall. There must be a secret hidden in the Heavenly Secret Palace for him to lurk here. If he was discovered by the superiors of the Heavenly Secret Palace, it would definitely be dangerous.
Ming Xiu kissed her cheek, his voice sexy and cheerful, “Yan is caring about me.”
“Obviously, if I don’t care about you, who should I care for?” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him.
Ming Xiu domineeringly placed his forehead against her forehead, and his deep and boundless eyes were filled with domineering, “You can only care about me.”
“I still have family.” Lou Mu Yan looked at him with amusement.
Ming Xiu lowered his head and kissed her tender lips as if to punish her, then it gradually grew gentle, as if there was only each other.
After the kiss, Ming Xiu said with a hoarse and magnetic voice: “You know what I mean.”
“I know!” Lou Mu Yan smiled helplessly and nodded.
Except for her family at home and a few close friends, she really didn’t care about other men.
Ming Xiu’s handsome and unparalleled face bloomed into a smile that seemed to be able to melt the ice of winter, “I will also only care about one woman—you.”
“Mm.” Lou Mu Yan nested in his embrace and lazily replied, making Ming Xiu’s heart ticklish, as if being scratched by a cat’s claws.
“This is the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron. You should have it recognise you as Owner.” Ming Xiu took out the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron and handed it to her.
Lou Mu Yan took the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron and rubbed it gently. She loved it very much and wasn’t polite either as she put it away immediately.
Then she raised her head and took the initiative to kiss Ming Xiu’s handsome cheek, “Thanks!”
There was a feeling of peace and happiness that Ming Xiu had never felt before lingering around his heart, and he just wanted to spend his entire life together with this woman he embraced.
The two quietly leaned against each other and enjoyed their rare reunion time.
When Ming Xiu was about to leave, he placed a jade slip in Lou Mu Yan’s hand, “This is the information of the pupils in the semi-finals, and those of the other Sects who are thought to be able to win the championship.”
“Mm. I’ll take a look later.”
Because the time and place weren’t suitable, the two of them couldn’t stay together for a long time. Ming Xiu quickly disappeared from the room.
1basically saying that Lou Mu Yan (‘Emperor’) who’s involved and impacted by this isn’t even worried, so why’s Heamaster Feng, an observer (‘eunuch’) so worried about it?
