Chapter 202: The Pitiful Hei Corps? (1/2)

~Ahem~

Duan Ke coughed to get Jing Wei's attention.

”I asked you something grandfather, please clarify.” Duan Ke spoke in a cold tone.

Jing Wei noticed the change in her tone and knew that he should drop the act now, lest he angers his precious granddaughter even more.

”I gave Lin Mu the thousand armament blade scripture.” Jing Wei said in a straight tone.

Duan Ke's expression, which was cold before went still for a moment before shock appeared on her face.

”WHAT! You gave an outsider that? When?!” Duan Ke spoke in shock.

A few seconds later she herself realized when that must have happened.

”You mean… back then… when… when…” She stuttered.

”Yes, I did. I admit it was a decision made in haste, but now that I've seen the result I don't regret it.” Jing Wei interrupted Duan Ke, not wanting her to embarrass herself in front of Lin Mu.

The person in question, Lin Mu himself was having a great time listening to the banter of the pair of grandfather and granddaughter. He had an amused expression on his face and kept on listening without uttering a word.

~Sigh~

Duan Ke sighed and thought to herself there was no use crying over spilled milk.

'No wonder, he kept on switching weapons and improved against my own weapon skills. The sword technique I use is a lesser derivation of the Thousand armament blade scripture. It's obvious that the technique is much more superior.' Duan Ke consoled herself.

”You should have told me beforehand grandfather, I would have used a different tactic then.” Duan Ke uttered in defeat.

”I didn't know he would be able to do that either. I never expected anyone to learn it that quick, especially since the requirements of that technique are quite harsh.” Jing Wei said and continued, ”How did you do this? I mean, the number of weapons required for this is astounding and some of them are even unorthodox.”

Both Duan Ke and Jing Wei's eyes were now focused on Lin Mu, and they were waiting for his reply.

Lin Mu realized what Jing Wei was talking about and replied, ”Yes, the requirements did indeed make it difficult for me at first. But then I got an opportunity and had the Hei corps procure them for me.”

Lin Mu did not mind that he spoke about the Hei corpse as it was already known to him that the Hei corps and Jing Wei had previously met before. Though if he knew the context of that meeting, then perhaps he would have thought of avoiding mentioning them.

”The Hei corps?” Both Duan Ke and Jing Wei repeated with momentary confusion.

”You mean those bunch of weaklings in Dark blue robes and masks?” Duan Ke spoke in a depreciating tone.

”Ah, I remember. Weren't those the people who were snooping around the shop back then? I nearly forgot about them.” Jing Wei said as he stoked his beard in realization.

Lin Mu looked at the two of them with a strange gaze.
