Chapter Eighty-Six: The Trial

r, would take them out for a hike to enjoy nature. Work-life balance is key to getting twice the results with half the effort.There are no friends here, but the habit of work-life balance she develope...It is rumored that the current Left Minister Yin Qi is the wisest and most brilliant strategist. People are amazed by his insights, and if he takes notice of a young person, it must mean that this individual possesses extraordinary qualities.

This young man seems like a tough nut to crack. He wanted to warn his sister, but just as he was about to tug on her sleeve, he saw Yun Tianqing walk past.

"Lord Yin, you said, how can we compare" Yun Tian asked angrily.

Yin Qi calmly rose to his feet, ignoring her question. He walked up to Feng Yi Pavilion and addressed the surrounding crowd, "I am Yin Qi, the official in charge here. Although I have no intention of interfering in this competition, both sides have asked me to pose a question for fairness. I think it's a rare sight to see such a competition in our Nan Yue Kingdom, so I won't shirk my responsibility and act as a witness. After much deliberation, I believe that since the Tianji Pavilion excels at crafting, we might as well base the challenge on weapon manufacturing."

He strode a few steps before the Feng Yi Pavilion, picked up two snow pears from a table, and raised his hand to say: "Then let's have the two young masters competing in a duel. Within two hours, each of them creates a weapon to strike these snow pears. Whoever has the greater lethality and better aim wins. What do you all think of this way"

This is what sets Yin Qi apart from other officials. Under the feudal system, he learned to solicit the opinions of ordinary people. Naturally, the common people supported and admired officials who were willing to seek their input. He gained the hearts of many scholars not by chance alone.

The onlookers, upon hearing the current chancellor asking for their opinion, had nothing more to say. They immediately shouted, “Good! Good! Good!”

Hundreds of onlookers cheered at the same time, this scene was already exhilarating.

For a moment, Qin Luoyan seemed to see a different Yin Qi. The scholar who had always been so elegant and refined now appeared as a mesmerizing demon, captivating everyone around him.

Perhaps he was a monster all along, just hiding it so well that everyone thought he was an ordinary human.

Since everyone agreed with this method, Qin Luoyan also expressed no objection.

“Making weapons is such an easy thing It takes more than just specialized tools, it also requires special materials. How can something made in two hours be called a weapon” Yun Tianqing seemed dissatisfied with this way of doing things.

Qin Luoyan shook her head, sighed and said: "Since you are from the Tiangji Pavilion, why would you be bound by the idea that weapons must use special materials and tools Weapons are tools of harm, anything that can inflict damage at a specific time can become a weapon. This competition requires us to strike pears. Pears are not a very hard object, so a weapon capable of striking a pear doesn't necessarily need to be made of steel. Two hours to make a simple weapon, I think that's enough. If you think it's insufficient, you can directly admit defeat."

She hadn't expected someone from the Tiānjīgé to say something like that. Had her expectations of the Tiānjīgé been too high

Yun Tianqing's face flushed red at her words. Just as he was about to argue, a man behind him grabbed his arm and pulled him closer. He whispered in his ear, "Don't say anything, she's right. If you still want to save face, then accept this way of competing and beat her."

Yun Tianqing was a little unwilling, but at this critical juncture, she was still willing to believe her own older brother. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! Since that's the case, let's compare it like this!"

Since both parties have agreed, the competition can begin. Yin Qi instructed someone to light an incense stick to record the time.

Both contestants began to get busy. Yun Tianqing was initially flustered, unsure of what to use as a weapon. In the end, it was the man behind her who sighed and stepped forward. The man was none other than her older brother, Yun Tianzi.

He originally wasn't planning to get involved in this matter, but seeing Qin Luo's imposing presence, he felt that Yun Tianqing might not be her match. He couldn't bear to see the reputation of Tiangji Pavilion ruined, so at a crucial moment, he stepped forward.

He retraced his steps along the path he had come, but after a short while, he retrieved a box from his carriage. It resembled a traveling doctor's medicine chest, and when he opened it, it was a sight to behold.

Originally, the box contained some peculiar and cute little tools, along with some scraps of metal. The amount of material wasn't much, but it was enough to make something to strike a pear with.

As the crowd witnessed this scene, cheers erupted once again. In their eyes, these two individuals truly lived up to their reputation as members of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. Look, even their tools were so professional! Victory seemed to already belong to the Heavenly Machine Pavilion in their eyes.

Qin Luo'yan wasn't in a hurry, she just glanced faintly, then began collecting things around Feng Yi Pavilion that were useful to her. Luckily, many people came here today, and many of them had some small items with them. When she asked those people to borrow things, everyone was very generous.

Yuntai Zi casually glanced in her direction and saw Qin Luoyan asking a child selling candied haws for half a skewer, buying a blackened silver bracelet from an old woman's hands, and then asking a hunter watching the commotion for several wires...

Seeing her rummage through a bunch of random stuff, seemingly unrelated to weapon making, Yun Tianqing scoffed and sneered, “Sure enough, you're nothing but a pathetic excuse for a craftsman. What could possibly be made with those useless trinkets It’s laughable!”

However, Yun Tianzi's face grew increasingly grim. Faced with Yun Tianqing's words, he could only shake his head helplessly. His younger sister had no talent for weapon manufacturing and had been spoiled since childhood. That's why their parents sent her to Fengqicheng with him to broaden her horizons.

As the saying goes, there are people outside of people and heaven outside of heaven. A person who can make weapons out of ordinary things is truly terrifying because it means she can create something to protect herself or kill her enemies at any time and place.

Yuntanzi hesitated. If she let Yuntaqing make this weapon, the chances of losing would be too great. If she took the field herself now...

However, his idea had no chance to be put into action, for Yin Qi had already walked up to him. Yin Qi's sharp eyes stared at him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“Sir, I reckon you’re from the Tiāngjī Ge as well,” Yin Qi said with certainty, without waiting for Yúntiānzǐ’s response. “But since the competition has already begun, it would be unbecoming of the Tiāngjī Ge to change players at this stage. Since you’ve entered the fray, you should see it through with courage till the very end. Don't you agree, sir”
