Chapter 21 (1/2)

Ning Jing's Tu-Le the Great was Zhu Di, a very fa dynasty was also the -Le’

However, this was all he knew frouess at the relation between E-Le and this compass, let alone the application of the compass

“Master Xia, can you repair this cohts

“It will be complicated,” said Xia Lei, “But I can try”

“This compass is very important and its value is difficult to estimate I do not want a half-hearted response - I need an exact answer Master Xia, are you confident?”

Xia Lei wasn’t pressured before but Huang Wei-Guo’s words put a weight on his shoulders He thought ‘There is no need to emphasise how important this compass is; it must be the only one in the world! It’ll be a disaster if I make aspoke up, “Master Xia, you have to think this through carefully Miss Long reco her any trouble If you can, you can If you can’t, you can’t We require a 100 guarantee on this matter 99 is not accepted”

Xia Lei understood then that he was able to co had reco Jing They e would most probably have to take responsibility for it

XIa Lei could not help looking at Long Bing and wondering why she would reco’s face was a mask of cool as always

“How about this - Master Xia, ill give you half a day to consider it carefully and analyse if it can be done Give us a reply if you can,” said Ning Jing It see as Xia Lei could be so skilled right from the start and was even more doubtful of his ability to repair the compass

This feaze turned to Ning Jing Perhaps it was because he thought her unfriendly that his eye suddenly twitched and Ning Jing’s clothing dissolved like mist She looked quiet and slim but her body had substance, especially her breasts and buttocks, which gave the iht and they were fairly seductive Her buttocks had a patch that looked like a maple leaf in vivid colour and shape but it was not a tattoo – it was a natural birthmark The special birthmark made an impression on him

‘So she has a hidden side; you really can’t tell Who else can see such an interesting birthmark other than me?’ A small smile appeared at the corners of Xia Lei’s mouth He had used his X-ray vision on her with the intent of punishi+ng her and when that was done, he feltasked suspiciously

Xia Lei stopped using his eye “Nothing I feel you do not believe me and I understand your worry How about this – you can look for some similar parts to let me try my hand and I will accept the job only if you feel I can do it If you don’t, you can look for so Jing exchanged glances, as if co with their eyes

Xia Lei took it in his stride and kept quiet He had gained an understanding of the situation by now He sur Wei-Guo and Ning Jing had already asked for thehad recommended him because he had repaired the key before and thatWei-Guo and Ning Jing doubted his skill due to his age and were trying to give him the opportunity to back away from the difficulty of the task

Xia Lei had his own plans This job would be a troubleso the co a name for himself and he would naturally have customers come to him If he refused the job, he would lose the opportunity and spoil things for Long Bing and that hy he had already decided to accept the job

Huang Wei-Guo and Ning Jing see Wei-Guo spoke, “Master Xia, ill follow your suggestion I shall look for a welding ive it a try and we shall decide whether ill hand the compass to you for repairs afterwards”

Xia Lei nodded “No proble Bing walked to Xia Lei’s side “All good?”

“No proble nodded, “Then good Wait here I’ out toout with his eyes Her back was beautiful but he regarded her with great reverence and never had a desire to look at her with his left eye

Ning Jing walked up to Xia Lei and shtly as she asked, “How old are you, Master Xia?”

Xia Lei looked at her “Almost 24 You?” He was actually just a little over 23 but for so he was older

“So you’re just 24 I’

A Doctor in the archaeological field at 26 – she was indeed an a woman Unfortunately, it seemed she had spent her youth on studies and work It was easy to see how naive she hen she revealed her own age since woer than they were

Xia Lei had no interest in discussing age with her and changed the topic, asking, “Doctor Ning, what is this compass used for?”
