Chapter 109 Xiao Tianhao is used
Only she herself knew that she had never been a genius, and the reason why she could be as famous as her two brothers was because of her unparalleled hard work.
In order to research a new magic weapon, she could stay up all night studying in the library. In order to ensure that the magic weapon she made was flawless, she could stay in seclusion for months at a time.
With this kind of self-torturing effort, Li Muchen has come all the way to where she is now. But the gap in talent cannot be made up by hard work. As her cultivation gradually improves and her research on magic weapons becomes more and more in-depth, she feels more and more her own limitations.
Whenever it was late at night and she faced those ancient and complex runes alone, Li Muchen would always feel powerless. She longed for a breakthrough, and longed to find a way to make herself truly powerful, rather than just relying on hard work and wisdom to catch up with those born strong.
Therefore, she focused on the secret of the Dao League, especially the powerful power that Dongfang Tianyu obtained from it, which attracted her to explore and study it. She believed that solving this mystery would allow her to find a new and unprecedented way to become powerful.
For this purpose, she even played the role of "good sister" to Dongfang Tianyu for four years, just to get this secret from him.
"Since Sister Chen specially compiled the information for me, I will definitely read it carefully."
Seeing that Li Muchen didn't speak for a long time, Dongfang Tianyu expressed his gratitude again and then said goodbye and prepared to leave.
"Brother Tianyu, wait a moment!" Li Muchen suddenly stopped Dongfang Tianyu who was about to leave, grabbed his arm with both hands and shook it twice, and then continued, "Brother Tianyu hasn't agreed to what Sister Chen mentioned to you yesterday."
Seeing Li Muchen acting like a spoiled child to him, Dongfang Tianyu's eyes were filled with confusion: "Did you say anything to me yesterday?"
Li Muchen was also stunned when he heard this, and a hint of anger appeared on his face: "Brother Tianyu, is what I said not worth your attention?"
Dongfang Tianyu felt a little sorry for a moment when he saw this, and quickly explained: "Mu Chen, you misunderstood, I just...just too many things happened recently, and my memory is a little confused. If I really overlooked something important, please be sure to tell me."
Li Muchen looked at Dongfang Tianyu's slightly apologetic eyes, and the anger on her face also dissipated for the most part. She sighed softly and said slowly: "Brother Tianyu, I hope to borrow your demon mask for research, but you were a little hesitant at the time and said you would give me an answer after considering it for a while."
"Brother Tianyu came to see me today. I thought you had made a decision, but I didn't expect you to come and just ask such weird questions."
Dongfang Tianyu was even more surprised when he heard this. He had no impression of what Li Muchen said.
"Could it be that that person did something to me?"
In a trance, Dongfang Tianyu thought of the vague golden figure again.
Seeing Dongfang Tianyu struggling, Li Muchen thought that Dongfang Tianyu was unwilling to lend him the devil mask, and a hint of hostility suddenly appeared on his face, but he quickly concealed it.
"If Brother Tianyu doesn't want to, Sister Chen won't force him, but I want Brother Tianyu to know one thing. Sister Chen wants to study this demon mask for your own good."
"The power you received from the secret teachings of the Dao League can be both an opportunity and a disaster. I hope that after studying it thoroughly, I can help you control this power, or at least prevent you from being harmed by it."
Li Muchen's words were sincere and heartfelt, as if he really cared about Dongfang Tianyu's safety. Although Dongfang Tianyu was full of doubts, he couldn't help but be moved by Li Muchen's sincere eyes. "Muchen, I understand your intentions. However, since the demon mask attached to me, it has been closely related to me, and I can't easily hand it over to others. However, I promise you that if there is any progress in the future or I discover more secrets about this demon mask, I will share it with you as soon as possible, and consider whether it is possible to let you conduct more in-depth research under the premise of safety."
Dongfang Tianyu said this seriously. He knew very well how strange and powerful this mask was and was unwilling to put Li Muchen in unknown risks easily.
After hearing this, Li Muchen's eyes flashed with disappointment, but then he regained his composure. "Brother Tianyu, I understand your concerns. However, no matter what, I will stand by you, support you, and help you."
Dongfang Tianyu couldn't help but look a little weird when he heard this. Li Muchen's words sounded like something he would say to express his love.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Dongfang Tianyu looked at Li Muchen's still slightly immature face and shook his head secretly in his heart.
A little girl of only twelve years old, does she know what love is? At most, she just regards me as a good playmate.
Dongfang Tianyu thought so in his heart, completely forgetting that he had told Dongfang Huaizhu that he wanted to marry her when he was six years old.
Perhaps, Dongfang Tianyu was just a child at that time, but the love he felt for her did not fade away with the passage of time. Instead, it continued to ferment in his heart and intensified.
"Okay, sister Chen, it's getting late. I should go back to Wangquan Villa to practice swordplay, or my master will scold me for being lazy again."
Dongfang Tianyu patted Li Muchen's head lightly, trying to ease the delicate atmosphere between the two in this way, then turned around and returned to Wangquan Villa.
Until Dongfang Tianyu's figure disappeared in the Li family's villa, Li Muchen's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"You are such a good Dongfang Tianyu! I have spent four years but still cannot gain your trust. Since you are unwilling to hand over the demon mask to me, don't blame me for using my backup plan."
After saying that, Li Muchen took out a conch-shaped magic weapon from her arms, which was the sound transmission magic weapon she made herself.
"Brother Tian, I'm Sister Chen. Sister Chen misses you. Can you come and see me?"
The person to whom Li Muchen transmitted his message through the magic weapon was officially Xiao Tianhao, the young master of the Xiao family.
Since the Blue Sky Conference, Li Muchen discovered that Xiao Tianhao always wanted to get close to her intentionally or unintentionally. She was more thoughtful than her peers and soon realized that Xiao Tianhao was interested in her, but she did not respond to this feeling. Instead, she took advantage of this and carefully wove a net, waiting for him to jump in.
At this moment, Xiao Tianhao was practicing alone at home. Suddenly, he heard Li Muchen's gentle and coquettish voice coming from the conch. His heart trembled suddenly, and the sword in his hand trembled involuntarily, almost slipping out of his hand. Xiao Tianhao quickly calmed down, with an unconcealable joy on his face. He quickly put the conch close to his ear, fearing that he would miss any word.
