Chapter 390 - 390 Former Lover
390 Former Lover
Xu Qing predicted that Ji Yueyue might attack her, so she had been thinking about how to deal with Ji Yueyue these past few days. Although Qiao Yanhui would protect her, there might be loopholes. She had heard that Ji Yueyue was very skilled in martial arts. Even if Xun Fen and the other three attacked together, they probably wouldn’t be able to defeat her. Since Xu Qing didn’t know martial arts, she could only utilize her strength in other aspects!
Ji Yueyue had been seriously injured by Qiao Yanhui last time and probably wouldn’t appear for the time being, so Xu Qing had time to study and make weapons. Then, Deng Jiangming was captured by Xu Qing to be her coolie!
After Xu Qing handed Deng Jiangming a blueprint, she left to get intimate with Qiao Yanhui. After Deng Jiangming saw the blueprint, he locked himself in his room for a few days and nights. If not for the sound of metal colliding from time to time, they would have thought that Deng Jiangming had starved to death!
“Sister-in-law, what did you draw for Deng Jiangming to lock himself in his room for a few days and nights? I remember the last time he acted like this was when he made a long-lost concealed weapon.” Hua Yuncheng looked at Xu Qing in admiration. Xu Qing was a genuis. Not only did she know medicine, but she also had comprehensive knowledge about business and military tactics. Moreover, she even knew about concealed weapons! She was too amazing!
“It’s no big deal.” Xu Qing shrugged. She really didn’t understand why Deng Jiangming was so exctited.
Hua Yuncheng clearly didn’t believe Xu Qing’s excuse. If there wasn’thing that intrigued Deng Jiangming, would Deng Jiangming be so preoccupied? Just as Hua Yuncheng was thinking about it, the door that had been closed for a long time was suddenly opened from the inside. An unfamiliar figure appeared in front of everyone.
Xu Qing looked at Deng Jiangming, who had completely changed, in shock. Was he still the same handsome man from her memories?
“Ever since that woman left, I haven’t seen Deng Jiangming in this state!” Hua Yuncheng couldn’t help but lament. However, just as he finished speaking, he realized something and immediately covered his mouth as he looked at Deng Jiangming in fear. As expected, Deng Jiangming immediately gave Hua Yuncheng a sinister look, making him tremble.
Every time that woman was mentioned, Deng Jiangming would become like a different person!
Xu Qing caught the main point of Hua Yuncheng’s words. “Who is the woman you’re talking about?” Xu Qing immediately started to gossip. She knew it. Deng Jiangming was already so old, so how could he remain single?
When Xu Qing saw that Deng Jiangming’s expression became colder and colder, she was even more surprised. What kind of woman could make Deng Jiangming become like a completely different person?!
Qiao Yanhui shook his head dotingly when he saw Xu Qing’s curiosity, but he didn’t plan to say anything in front of Deng Jiangming. He only asked, “What did you discover through your research this time?”
Upon hearing Qiao Yanhui’s words, Deng Jiangming walked up to Qiao Yanhui excitedly and handed the thing in his hand to him.
“I modified this according to Xu Qing’s crossbow.” Deng Jiangming looked at Xu Qing in admiration. If Xu Qing hadn’t provided him with this idea, he probably wouldn’t have been able to make such a powerful concealed weapon!
Xu Qing sized it up for a while, but didn’t say anything because she didn’t know if this was enough deal with Ji Yueyue, who was the intended target.
“The crossbow that Xu Qing originally drew wasn’t a threat to a top expert, but after I modified it, it will definitely pose a threat to a peerless expert. I also added some other devices to it, so that those experts can’t determine the true location of the crossbow! The internal energy can’t be sensed, so it can also lower the other party’s vigilance,” Deng Jiangming said excitedly.
“Let me try!” Xu Qing was eager to try. She wanted to see how fast Deng Jiangming’s modified crossbow was!
With a whoosh, an arrow that was so slender that it was difficult to see with the naked eye shot out from the crossbow at an astonishing speed. A moment later, it actually passed through half of the tree, which was Xu Qing’s target!
“It’s so fast and so lethal,” Hua Yuncheng exclaimed in shock!
Xu Qing put away the crossbow in her hand and praised, “Not bad!”
Qiao Yanhui also looked at Deng Jiangming. “Go wash up first. You reek!”
Deng Jiangming sniffed himself. He did smell quite bad, so he turned around and left.
As Xu Qing looked at the exquisite crossbow in her hand, she marveled at how brilliant Deng Jiangming was.
“Speaking of which, what happened to Deng Jiangming just now?” After Xu Qing’s weapon and the children’s weapons were prepared, she felt even more gossipy.
