Chapter 111: A Talent Beyond Measure
With the Mo family's alliance on the brink of destruction, the countdown to their downfall had officially begun. Three days had passed since then, during which Mo Yu tirelessly worked on repairing the Six-Harmonies Void Sword in the quiet room provided by the Ye family.
Fortunately, although the Six-Harmonies Void Sword was a formidable weapon, Mo Yu only needed to repair it rather than forge a completely new one. With the ample materials provided by the Ye family, he successfully restored the sword after three days of intense work.
As he gazed at the restored sword, shining with a cold and imposing light, Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel at Ye Fan's luck. Although swordsmanship was not widely practiced on the Dou Qi continent, it didn't mean it was weak. In fact, the way of the sword was a profound path. In his previous life, Mo Yu had encountered many powerful sword masters whose strength even he had to respect.
For Ye Fan, a man who had risen from humble beginnings to become the founder of one of the four great families of the northeastern province, this sword and the accompanying sword techniques must have played a crucial role in his success.
Even though the sword was impressive, Mo Yu had no intention of coveting it. After tidying up, he headed out of the room.
In the dimly lit corridor, Ye Fan was leaning against the wall. His aged and frail face appeared calm, but the way his fingers tapped anxiously against the wall betrayed his nervousness and agitation.
As time passed, Ye Fan glanced at the tightly closed door at the end of the corridor, unable to suppress a frown. After a moment, he sighed.
Three days ago, Mo Yu had requested a quiet, undisturbed room and promised to return the sword in perfect condition within three days. But now that the deadline was approaching, Ye Fan couldn't help but worry. If Mo Yu failed, Ye Fan might not survive the worsening of his injuries...
Rubbing his hands together, the old man's calm face finally showed signs of concern. He muttered to himself, "Did he fail? Maybe I was too impulsive. Mo Yu's skills are impressive, but he's still so young... Even if he started learning the art of forging from birth, it's only been a little over ten years. How skilled can he really be?"
Clenching his fists, Ye Fan's expression shifted repeatedly before he sighed in resignation, shaking his head with a bitter smile. "At this point, I can only hope for a miracle from this boy. After all, he's someone even I can't fully see through..."
As time ticked by, the atmosphere in the corridor grew increasingly tense. Ye Fan's fingers drummed impatiently against the wall, and at one point, his impatience caused a surge of Dou Qi to wrap around his finger, accidentally punching a hole through the wall.
"Go check on him!" Ye Fan finally snapped, unable to endure the wait any longer. He took a deep breath, ready to storm down the corridor.
But just as Ye Fan turned to leave, his body froze. His eyes widened in shock as he stared down the corridor at the young man in blue robes, casually leaning against the wall, watching him with a calm and relaxed expression.
After a moment, Ye Fan swallowed hard and rushed forward. "Little Brother Mo Yu, did you succeed?" he asked anxiously.
Mo Yu smiled lightly and walked towards the eager Ye Fan, handing him the sword. "Mission accomplished," he said with a slight smile.
As Ye Fan carefully accepted the restored Six-Harmonies Void Sword, his old hands trembled with emotion. His whiskers, too, quivered in sync with his heart.
Holding the sword in both hands, Ye Fan looked at the perfectly restored blade, feeling a surge of familiarity and warmth. Unbeknownst to him, the damaged parts of his soul were already beginning to heal.
Realizing this, Ye Fan's old face lit up with a mix of joy and astonishment.
The joy was for the complete restoration of the Six-Harmonies Void Sword.
The astonishment came from his disbelief that this seemingly young boy had managed to repair the sword in just three short days—a task that had stumped the entire Ye family, even after searching the entire northeastern province for help.
"Incredible... This boy is no ordinary person," Ye Fan thought to himself, recognizing Mo Yu's extraordinary talent.
Seeing the old man joyfully clutching the sword, Mo Yu smiled and said, "Old Master Ye, now that the sword has been successfully repaired, we can start planning the downfall of the Mo family once you've fully recovered."
Ye Fan nodded, still grinning. With the sword restored, he could now use it to heal his soul. In fact, after surviving this ordeal, he might even make a breakthrough to become a four-star Dou Ling!
With newfound respect for Mo Yu, Ye Fan laughed heartily and said, "Indeed! Give me about half a month, and I'll be back at full strength. Then, with your help, we shall bring down the Mo family!"
Mo Yu nodded, satisfied. Though the old man was cunning, his fighting strength with the Six-Harmonies Void Sword was undeniable.
And Mo Yu wasn't worried about Ye Fan going back on his word after regaining his strength. While repairing the sword, Mo Yu had discreetly added a little something extra. If things turned sour, his Artifact Explosion Technique would send Ye Fan to his grave.
"Oh, by the way, has the Ye family found the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill I requested?" Mo Yu asked, remembering his still-slumbering beast, Zihuo.
Ye Fan frowned slightly and replied, "I've left that matter to Ye Cong. He's gone to see Frank, the president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Association, with whom I have a good relationship. We should hear back soon."
As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, a Ye family servant approached, bowing respectfully before saying, "Old Master, the Patriarch has returned. He brought back President Frank and Miss Xue Mei from the Alchemist Association and asked for Master Mo Yu to join them."
"Oh?" Ye Fan's aged face showed a hint of curiosity. Frank visiting the Ye family personally was a rare occurrence. Glancing at Mo Yu, Ye Fan speculated that Frank's visit might have something to do with the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill.
Seeing Ye Fan's gaze, Mo Yu also had a hunch and said, "If that's the case, Old Master, you should go and restore your strength. I'll head over and take a look."
