Silence, as calm as still water, precisely heralded the coming storm.
The Black-Clad Youth waited patiently like a cat stalking a mouse, poised to strike. After Axi finally managed to calm down, he spoke, "Tell your master to come here."
His tone was even, devoid of any emotion, yet Axi sensed the underlying threat.
Indeed, this Black-Clad Youth, with his attire, demeanor, and his uncanny ability to infiltrate the courtyard unnoticed, instilled genuine fear in him.
Yes, fear!
He had once weathered many storms himself, but before the Black-Clad Youth, he suddenly felt as insignificant as dust.
Perhaps only a person as divine as his master could rival the one before him.
"I'll come back at this time tomorrow."
Afterward, the man left as if he were in his own home, departing silently.
Half an hour later, in the courtyard where Yang Yichen had shut himself in under the pretense of studying and had turned away several classmates' visits, he saw a familiar face again.
However, it was not Abei this time but Axi, the more tactful subordinate.
"Master, there might be some trouble this time. That person guessed that I couldn't make decisions and requested to meet with you."
Yang Yichen smiled slightly; someone who could discern the unusual aspects of the Blacksmith Shop without being noticed was certainly no ordinary individual. It was not surprising that he figured it out.
“Ming Wo, you’re right on time. You can go back now and do whatever you need to do!”
Axi walked out of the courtyard, and a gentle breeze blew at the street corner, causing his heart to tighten suddenly.
After living for so many years, he felt he was not as good as this young master.
Well, Yang Yichen was only fourteen after the New Year, yet his calm demeanor and confident strategic mind made this twenty-year-old feel ashamed.
At the same time, halfway to Linyi County, in Ten Li Pu.
The girl was dressed as low-key as ever; even in coarse linen clothes, her elegance shone brightly.
After some preparations, the Mud Brick from Sanhe Village had officially begun production according to her methods, and the people had grasped the essentials.
Liu Qingxi had more important matters to attend to and would not stay at Sanhe Village throughout the process.
Only when there were problems that could not be resolved would Village Head Liu send someone to ask for help.
What was the girl doing now? One could see that the largest Threshing Ground in Ten Li Pu was bustling with activity, comparable to a market. What surprised everyone most was that dozens of strong farmers stood neatly in the center.
The surrounding area was packed with onlookers from Ten Li Pu, including curious villagers who had come upon hearing the news.
As for what was happening? Just look at the audience's eager expressions to find out.
“Hey, hey, hey! We came all this way just to hear about what you’re up to in Ten Li Pu!”
"Yes, yes, I saw a lot of people coming this way on my way here. Why is there such a commotion?"
As for those in the know, they merely smiled slightly; this was their unique privilege and benefit as members of Ten Li Pu. Why should they share it?
At that moment, as a member of Ten Li Pu, they felt proud and honored!
Because this place offered them more opportunities and more motivation to strive.
Of course, as hosts, they couldn't let the spectators feel too awkward, so someone stepped forward to ease the tension.
"It's not as exaggerated as they say; these are just the good lads chosen from our village. They will be our construction team for Ten Li Pu—our own."
"The key is that those who can get in are quite remarkable. They were selected from among a hundred or so people, you know? Once inside, the pay is quite good, the working hours are short, and as long as you work hard, there are rewards during the holidays."
As members of Ten Li Pu, they couldn't be prouder. Even if they weren't chosen themselves, what was there to fear? Qingxi would have plenty of opportunities in the future.
"So why are so many people lined up so neatly now?"
"This is a rule set by our village; we need to conduct unified training for the great Kid. Even if you've never done masonry work before, it's fine—if you're willing to learn, that's all that matters. There are also some rules of the construction team that need to be announced."
The outsiders could only listen enviously to the generous conditions being discussed. How could such good fortune not occur in their own village?
At this point, everyone thought of the initiator of this event, Liu Qingxi.
By now, Liu Qingxi's name was known far and wide; at least in Ten Li Eight Villages, there was no one who didn't know it. As for Liu Qingxi's background, it had long been talked about until there was nothing left to say.
What is the Liu Family, an outsider? What about Liu Qingxi being driven out of her home by a ruthless Aunt? The Liu Family faced relentless persecution, but the girl was not afraid; she relied on her abilities to carve out her own path.
In this way, most of the discussions were filled with praise for Liu Qingxi.
Then the question arose: why didn’t their own village take in the Liu Family at that time? If they had, wouldn’t all the benefits now belong to them?
They lamented and regretted, but alas, the situation had already been decided.
It was at this moment, when everyone was discussing fervently, that Liu Qingxi made her appearance.
Dressed in simple clothes, she did not stand out in the crowd at first glance. However, upon closer inspection of her face and her straight posture, she radiated confidence.
Standing there in the center, she possessed a unique advantage that earned her genuine respect and trust from the people.
Her voice was not loud, but her clear and crisp words reached everyone’s ears.
At that moment, all they could see was that figure; notions of women needing to be modest or adhere to traditional virtues were cast aside.
At this moment, no one doubted the girl’s ambition; no one questioned whether she could achieve her goals or if she was merely boasting.
Eventually, the girl would rise to heights they could only dream of reaching.
The wheels of fate have their unique arrangements; each person's life trajectory serves its purpose.
It does not casually arrange anyone's arrival, and these twists of fate will ultimately shine brightly.
Due to certain specific factors, two individuals who originally had no connection began to draw closer...
Linyi County Blacksmith Shop
Two men sat facing each other, or rather, two youths.
One was dressed in black and the other in white, both with expressionless faces and a hint of darkness about them; one was resolute, while the other exuded a charming malevolence.
Both were sizing each other up. Yang Yichen looked at the newcomer, feeling a slight shock. The man's aura was restrained, and he couldn't discern whether he possessed martial skills.
There was only one possibility: the man had reached a level where he could control his aura at will.
The Black-Clad Youth was equally surprised; it was unexpected to encounter someone with such a unique presence in this place, someone who did not fear the darkness surrounding him.
He managed to remain calm in front of him. More importantly, the youth's face still bore traces of innocence, no more than a teenager—interesting, very interesting.
Both pondered each other's limits, neither willing to speak first.
"Who are you?" Finally, the White-Clad Youth broke the silence.
