Holding On to My Man

Chapter 23: Fantasy Cinnabar Mole (Part 1)

Translated by peonynoveltl

There’s a connection between Qin Shitian and Nie Qingcang, or maybe they are simply the same person, because no matter how the physical body changes, that feeling from the soul is the only one of its kind.

With this conclusion, Gu Bai can’t understand his current mood, moved? happy? Or something else? He doesn’t know, because his heart still doesn’t beat. There’s only a feeling that’s like being in a very good mood.

Perhaps it’s not as complicated as he thinks. It might be a coincidence, it just so happened that that person reincarnated, and they happened to meet again. It’s as simple as that.

He already said that he doesn’t have a heart, so after a brief thought, Gu Bai calmed down. He doesn’t know what the future will be like, but now he’s only a passerby in these worlds, so the first priority is to complete the task.

Ah Jiu’s wish is to protect Mozong’s sect leader. Before, he had to be by Qin Shitian’s side because of his low ability, but now with the help of the mysterious master, his cultivation directly upgraded to the highest cultivation level.

Therefore, even if he isn’t by Qin Shitian’s side, he can still do his task of protecting Qin Shitian very well. Gu Bai calmly accepted his demotion to the Weapons Hall.

The Weapons Hall, as its name suggests, is the place where Mozong refines its weapons.

The refining of weapons in this fantasy world is completely different from the mortal world’s forging, it uses the body’s inner spiritual energy to create weapons. In addition to sharpness, the refined weapons will also have some spiritual attacks, it’s very amazing.

Of course, this kind of weapon isn’t easy to make, the process is very complicated and hard, so working in the Weapons Hall is the most tiring place in Mozong.

Therefore, there are no women in the Weapons Hall and all the disciples are those 180cm burly chaps. A thin and little boy like Gu Bai who suddenly popped up is as conspicuous as a crane standing among chickens.

At the beginning, Gu Bai was teased and laughed by everyone for looking like a weak chicken, but he quickly won the worship and respect of everyone with more than ten good weapons produced monthly.

It must be known that other than the hallmaster, no one can accomplish this achievement.

At the Weapons Hall, Gu Bai refines weapons during the day and rests or lurks around Mozong at night. Paying attention to Qin Shitian while also paying attention to Mo Haige’s movement, life is very busy.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

In the past three years, Gu Bai stayed vigilant to the activity of the task object while enriching himself. He lurked at Mozong’s library and used his current powerhouse brain gifted with extraordinary retentive memory to look through a bunch of miscellaneous secret manuals and learned a lot.

He believes that these things imprinted in his mind will certainly be useful for his future tasks, it does no harm to him.

The only thing that is a little regrettable is that Mozong’s top secret manual is inside Qin Shitian’s space ring. Gu Bai won’t be able to get it for the time being.

In three years, Gu Bai is like a fish in water* not only in the Weapons Hall, but also in the entire Mozong. He has a fixed status because of his excellent refining skills.

*someone who performs well in a certain situation, making it seem like they were meant to be in that environment.

The quality of the weapon in this world is determined by the spiritual energy of the refiner. The stronger the refiner, the more powerful the weapon is.

With the help of the mysterious master, those who can defeat him in this world with his current cultivation can be counted with one hand, the weapons he refined are top products.

However, as a powerhouse, they all have their arrogance and won’t casually give people their refined weapons. Furthermore, powerhouses have their own matters to do and don’t have that much effort and time to waste like Gu Bai.

Of course, aside from powerhouses, there are also talented geniuses who can refine magic weapons. In order to hide his cultivation, Gu Bai naturally chose the aura of a refining genius.

In this way, as Gu Bai expected, the reputation of his refining talent was like a loud thunder that sounded on a sunny day. It quickly became a sensation in the entire Mozong. Everyone in the sect, including the elders and the hallmasters, couldn’t help but ask him for a handy weapon. They give him lots of face when they meet.

However, Mo Haige’s prestige in Mozong is gradually declining.

Since the day he rejected and injured Qin Shitian, Qin Shitian seems to have awakened and is no longer so obsessed with him.

Although he still attached great importance to him, after all, this is the youth that he raised for so many years and is an apprentice who he carefully taught, but the gaze he used to look at Mo Haige gradually lost it’s passion.

His daily meals doesn’t need Mo Haige’s company. When Mo Haige is practicing martial arts, he doesn’t watch from the sidelines. When other party makes a mistake, he doesn’t spoil and protect him, unwilling to beat and scold like in the past, but gave stern lessons instead. Even Mo Haige’s yearly grand birthday celebration was cancelled.

According to Qin Shitian’s character, this behavior clearly meant that a separation from Mo Haige emerged. The subordinates in the sect realized this all at once.

Other than his face, Mo Haige was born ordinarily talented. If Qin Shitian didn’t taught him personally and gave him the best secret manuals for cultivation, he would just be a regular disciple in Mozong.

Now Qin Shitian doesn’t care about him anymore. He doesn’t teach him and doesn’t give him the wealth of heaven and earth’s cultivation panacea. His cultivation naturally started to slow down. Without great power and Qin Shitian’s favor, this little sect leader really doesn’t quite live up to his name.

However, Mo Haige is indifferent in nature and doesn’t feel anything. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief thanks to Qin Shitian’s alienation. He unexpectedly developed a little bit of gentleness that he never had before towards Qin Shitian.

This made Gu Bai can’t help but secretly mutter that this Mo Haige must be a masochistic madman. He didn’t like Qin Shitian when he was good to him, but now he’s happy that Qin Shitian is cold to him. He can’t understand this at all.

Anyway, the weaker the feelings between Qin Shitian and Mo Haige become, the closer it is to his intentions......
