Chapter 395 Body Technique Attribute

Ou Yangming immediately spotted Deng Xiyuan and Li Xinfan after he left the smithing workshop.

The two officials dared not barge into the smithing workshop, but they dared not stay too far away too. Therefore, they replaced the protectors and guarded the secret room with Woo Lejia and Wu Haohan.

In actuality, they knew it was not a great office to let Her Royal Highness and Ou Yangming being in the same room together. If His Majesty was aware of this, they would certainly be in trouble. Nonetheless, they knew this was probably what the princess had been yearning for. If they dared to disturb the two of them, she would definitely take her revenge on them.

One was far away while the other was near within reach, so the men knew how to choose.

They looked at each other seeing as the door was still shut. None of them said a word, but they were all anxious.

At last, when the door was opened with a loud bam, the four men instantly turned to look.

Ou Yangming rushed out like the wind, but Her Highness was nowhere to be seen.

The four men were shocked. They went up to greet the young fellow right away and subtly blocked his way.

“Brother Ou, you failed?” Woo Lejia asked in confusion.

“Since it was me who did it, of course, it was a success!” Ou Yangming responded snappily.

Ou Yangming felt like a free bird once he left the secret room, where he was alone with the princess. He no longer felt like he was restrained.

Woo Lejia sighed a breath of relief because he naturally knew the importance of Her Royal Highness’s personal weapon. “If you succeeded, why are you in such a hurry…” Woo Lejia frowned and asked.

Who knew, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a loud cough.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, many people are still waiting for magic tools from you.” Li Xinfan laughed and got out of Ou Yangming’s way, then he added after a pause, “We’re on a tight schedule since we don’t know when the spirit beast will attack again, so please make the best use of your time.”

“General Li, don’t worry.” Ou Yangming nodded and cupped his hands, then he left in haste.

“What are you doing, General Li?” Woo Lejia later questioned because he found it strange.

Li Xinfan turned to look and asked in a lowered voice, “Didn’t you notice his clothes?”

“What about his clothes?” Woo Lejia became even more curious.

“There are wrinkles on it, and they’re new,” Deng Xiyuan noted in an even softer voice.

Woo Lejia and Wu Haohan were stunned. The meaning behind the looks in their eyes was clear to every man.

Needless to say, though they were well aware, they did not have the guts to say it out loud.

A graceful figure was seen as Wu Hanning left the secret room too. She glanced at the people and uttered, “Let’s go back.”

“Yes,” Woo Lejia and Wu Haohan responded, then they intentionally but covertly looked at a certain spot on Her Highness’s body. Although they were not daring enough to stare at Wu Hanning, n.o.body would notice if they just stole a quick glance. Nevertheless, a quick glance was all it took for the men to gasp at the same time.

There was naturally a condensation of water vapor when Ou Yangming’s body slowly became frozen. As such, when Wu Hanning used her body’s heat to resolve the chillness, there were creases on the parts of their clothes where their bodies touched. The lines were not obvious, but the four sharp-eyed men spotted them at once.

After sending off Wu Hanning, the prefecture’s highest administrator and military boss exchanged glances without saying a word.

They only saw the fact but did not know what exactly happened between Wu Hanning and Ou Yangming in the secret room, hence they imagined all sorts of scenarios.

****

By the time Ou Yangming returned to the Ni residence, sure enough, numerous people had been waiting for a long time.

There were more than 100 Supreme Great Ancestors including the local great ancestors. Most of them were rather undecided about Ou Yangming’s suggestion, because skills similar to the Indestructible Defense and the Stone Awl Penetration were important inheritances in their clans, after all. If they were to reveal those skills like that, they might not be able to explain to the other clan members.

Despite that, some people liked to take risks. Besides, they understood that given the spirit beast was eyeing them, even if Ou Yangming could constantly smith magic tools, n.o.body could guarantee how long their temporary peace could last. The early bird would get the worm, thus if the powerhouses wanted to ensure that they would gain a suitable magic tool, it would be best to agree with Ou Yangming’s suggestion as soon as possible.

He Xinfang was the first to go to Ou Yangming’s door.

The Supreme Great Ancestor told the young fellow about his greatest ability without any hesitation.

Though He Xinfang did not have a spiritual cultivation base in actual fact, every martial art skill that could be inherited for generations in an aristocratic family could be turned into formidable offensive or defensive skills.

The He family’s inheritance was close to 1,000 years, so they did not lack top-notch martial art skills.

Body technique!

It was the He family’s greatest lost art, such that anyone who performed it could move unpredictably like a ghost.
