Otherworldly Carver

Although I really don't want to admit it in my heart, this is the truth that Tongxi cannot deny.At that moment, Tongxi saw himself in Lanxi's eyes, and he suddenly felt so weak and incompetent.No matter how powerful he is as an orc, as the heir of a big family, he still has his own helplessness.

Wen Yu's life of following one's inclinations is what people like them can't dream of. The family is a kind of dependence, and it is also a kind of bondage.Since childhood, Tongxi has always been regarded as the heir of the family. It is an instinct for him to take on the responsibility of the family. He has never felt that there is anything wrong with this, and he has never felt that such a responsibility is a burden on himself.And from this moment, he suddenly understood Lan Xi in front of him.

When you don't miss out on what you care about, you don't feel restricted.And when you lose something, everything is different.Just like Tongxi, he missed Ye Ling just like that—and he missed it irreparably...

"Heh... look at your expression now, lost? Sad? As the heir of a big family, you only have this kind of awareness. This is also the difference between me and you." Lan Xi suddenly put down such a sentence in a mocking manner, She moved her eyes and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely leave the Lan family."

"You are a sub-orc from the Lan family. If you leave the Lan family, what do you want to do?" Tongxi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "It's okay if you are still a senior engraver. But you have lost your engraver qualifications. How are you going to make a living?"

"Yeah... I might starve to death on the street..." Lanxi raised her head, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she said a little emotionally, "But you have the responsibility that you can't let go, but I don't. You can’t let it go, you dare not! But I dare to do it! I’m not afraid of starving to death, because even if I live on the street, I’m free.”

Tongxi stood there stunned. If he had met Ye Ling, he might not have understood Lanxi's words, but now he did.For some unknown reason, he had a feeling of sympathy for this arrogant sub-orc man in front of him.

"You know? The day after tomorrow, after the competition between Mosi and Wen Yu is over, Wen Yu and Ye Ling will be married..." Lan Xi suddenly showed a trace of sadness on his face, and said with difficulty, "If I don't stop him, he will definitely Will lose, maybe even die in the arena! I don't care...I don't care who he combines with, I don't even care who he is with! Now I just hope he can live! Do you understand?"

This sentence is actually equivalent to confessing. Tongxi didn't know why he became the object of Lanxi's confession, but he miraculously didn't feel the slightest bit of boredom. He just nodded slightly and said, "Wen Yu, he won't die." of……"

"Why are you so sure?" Lanxi looked up at Tongxi slightly.

"According to what you said, he is such a different orc. How could an orc like him die so easily?" Tongxi didn't know why he praised his love rival in front of Lanxi, but he Said so naturally, "Since he dares to accept the challenge, it means that he has the determination to win. Since you love him, you must trust him."

If you love him, you have to believe him... Lan Xi thought of Ye Ling's calm expression, and couldn't help but startled for a moment. After a while, he sighed softly, and said slowly: "I will go to see his competition, and I will also participate in it." The union ceremony between him and Ye Ling. I hope he can do well, I only hope he can do well..."

"Everything will be fine, whether it's him or you...don't worry too much..." Tongxi said.

Lan Xi raised her eyes slightly, looked at Tong Xi, and suddenly smiled.

"Do you know what sub-orc people say about you? They all say that you are a cold person, and there seems to be no warmth from the inside to the outside, although they all want to be the young master of the Tong family." Lan Xi looked at Tong Xi said, "But today I know that at least you are not as cold as you appear on the surface."

Tongxi was startled again, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"I'm going back, I'm going back to that cage." Lan Xi said to Tong Xi, "You will go the day after tomorrow, right? If you have the courage, you will go too. At that time, if you can When you see me, remember to say a few words for me."

After speaking, Lanxi turned around and left step by step.

Tongxi pondered over the meaning of Lanxi's words, but he still couldn't figure it out.But there is one thing he is sure of, the competition the day after tomorrow will not go smoothly...

Headquarters of the Black Chess Organization...

"Boy, do you know that the news that you and Xiao Yezi are going to get married has been spread in the academy?" Old man Tu Liang was obviously very excited, looked at Wen Yu and said with a smile, "You really surprised us this time! The news is so shocking! You don’t know, the beard of that soulless dean of the Beastman Academy is blowing up! Hahaha, that old man doesn’t like you very much, don’t mention how aggrieved he is!”

"It's so funny, that old man would feel aggrieved when I married Wen Yu? Who is he?" Ye Ling frowned and sneered, "That old guy is probably just hoping for Wen Yu's bad luck."

"Wen Yu can't change form, he always feels that Wen Yu has lost his face." The old man Tu Liang said kindly, "That kind of stubborn old man has a lot of prejudices, Wen Yu, you'd better be careful, he might let you Can't graduate."

"I'm an orc who can't change form. Even if I graduate, no department in the military will want me." Wen Yu said this very plainly, "Whether I can graduate from the Orc Academy is a big question to me." It doesn't make sense at all."

"It's true." The old man Tuliang was familiar with Wen Yu's temperament, and knew that he really didn't care, so he shifted the focus to the issue he was most concerned about, "Wen Yu, how sure are you in this competition? I think There must be something wrong with that Moss."

"Then do you need to ask? That guy must be on his guard, and he can come up with any tricks!" Uncle Cheng frowned and said, "I've heard of that Mo Si, since he climbed up to Lan's house, he has been domineering in the academy , A lot of people have been bullied by him, not to mention, he also collected a lot of protection money. That guy is extremely despicable, it's better to be careful."

"Since he is such a person, we must be prepared. By the way, what about Jade? What about Jade?"

Although the old man Tuliang said this, he didn't show any anxiety on his face. He secretly glanced at Ye Ling and asked pretending to be nervous.

"What are you worried about?" Uncle Cheng rolled his eyes, "With Ye Ling here, are you still worried that Wen Yu doesn't have jade to wear?"

Ye Ling couldn't help laughing because he liked and felt helpless for Tu Liang, an old kid.After laughing, he took out a few boxes from his pocket and put them on the table.

Everyone looked forward to seeing Ye Ling take out the box.After opening the box, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and found that today's carvings are really special.

The one pushed by Ye Ling to the front was the piece of jade that he planned to polish last night.This piece of jade was about to be finished, and Ye Ling finished the last process when he was free in the morning.

The carving is hollowed out and looks very thick, and it is also made of the best glass-type golden jadeite. The jadeite is crystal clear, and the dark green is bright and moving.The shape of the brand is regular, and the emerald cloud patterns carved on the front and back are smooth, warm to the touch, delicately polished, and exquisitely designed.At a glance, you can tell that it is Ye Ling's style, and you can't move your eyes away.

After staring at it for a while, Uncle Cheng held his breath, held the jade with both hands and put it in the jade identification machine to test it.There is no doubt that this is a tenth grade carving with perfect carving.

Seeing this carving, thinking of Ye Ling insisting on getting up in the morning to do the last bit of trimming on it, Wen Yu only felt warm in his palms, and a tinge of warmth rippling in his heart.He looked at Ye Ling and asked softly, "Is it hard work?"

"Don't worry, there's no problem. Why do you feel tired doing what you like?" Ye Ling smiled sweetly at Wen Yu, "I've already done almost all of this, it's just a little finishing touch at the end. You'd better hurry up Take a look at the other carvings I have selected, those are the focus of today."

After hearing what Ye Ling said, everyone turned their attention to the other three carvings.The three carvings placed side by side have different colors, but none of them have been seen before.

Ye Ling pointed at the four boxes on the table and said: "Time is limited, I don't have time to make you a jade belt like last time. I have inquired, unless it is a bracelet, orcs wear multiple jadeite pieces at the same time. It won’t make the attributes superimposed. In this case, it’s better to go all out and test the functions of these carvings.”

With that said, Ye Ling pushed three of the boxes to Wen Yu and the others, and explained: "Wen Yu, the girdle I prepared for you last time can be inlaid with a whole emerald jade belt. Inlaid with four jade plaques. I thought about it and prepared these for you besides the tenth-level jade carving."

The three boxes were getting closer, Uncle Cheng and the old man Tu Liang stretched their necks eagerly, trying to look inside.

One of the boxes contained a lapis lazuli safe and sound plaque, with the exquisite Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra carved in fine detail.The other piece is a palm-sized beeswax safety lock, golden and rich in appearance, exquisitely carved, and round in shape, with the word "Ping An" engraved in the center, surrounded by complicated cloud patterns.The last hanging tag was a bit strange, even Wen Yu had never seen it before.

It was a tea crystal tag, also the size of a palm, engraved with a hovering dragon.The flying dragon is imposing and lifelike, each scale is polished finely and brightly, and even the dragon's whiskers are clearly visible.

Looking at these carvings, everyone present was speechless for a while.

"What is this?" After a while, Uncle Cheng first reached out and picked up the lapis lazuli safe and sound plaque, looking at it with interest.Unexpectedly, Wen Yu's expression changed drastically, and he snatched the lapis lazuli tablet from his hand.

"What's the matter? Are you crazy? Are you so stingy?" Uncle Cheng was taken aback, and looked at Wen Yu inexplicably.

Wen Yu blushed, and couldn't help but look at Ye Ling.Ye Ling knew exactly what Wen Yu was thinking, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
