Chapter 417: Good Sword Skills! (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The west wing was a room temporarily arranged for Luo Ning. There were not many furnishings inside. The saber Ye Jingtang had brought back from Yellow Springs Town was placed on the table. Because he wanted to give it to Yunli as a birthday gift, it was still wrapped in cloth and had not been taken out.

After the incident in the city yesterday, Luo Ning had been worried for half the night. After Third Lady left, she sat alone in front of the dressing table and reflected on her problem.

But what was her problem?

She had come over to discuss something. However, she had been pressed down, and her hair had disappeared, but she still had to be obedient. Wouldn’t she be a doormat then?

When Luo Ning thought of the shameful scenery under her dress, her eyes revealed a worried expression. She silently prayed to recover as soon as possible and was also thinking about how to take revenge on the bad Third Lady.

Luo Ning looked up and saw Third Lady packing up in the main room and preparing to go out. She quietly leaned over and took out a mahogany box from under the bed.

The box contained two new pieces of jewelry, as well as a piece of jade, a piece of wood, a carving knife, and other things.

Yesterday, Madam Wang had recommended that she go to the Fan family’s store to buy a few pieces of jewelry. However, she had run over and had been too embarrassed to ask the unfamiliar female shopkeeper, “Do you have any very exciting items here?”

After thinking for a long time, she had only asked if there was any jewelry.

Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?

The female shopkeeper was not familiar with her and was relatively conservative, so she gave her two special little things.

One was a silver waist bell. Women in the northwest would wear it on their waists and dance. It was rare in the Central Plains, but it was not unheard of.

The other one was more special. It was a pair of hairpins with a unique shape. The hairpins were shaped like ears, and they were soft enough to pass for real.

When Luo Ning brought it back yesterday, she felt that this thing wasn’t bad. It even looked quite good on her. Using it to deal with Third Lady was undoubtedly sending supplies to the enemy.

Since Luo Ning couldn’t find a way to take revenge, she could only take out Ye Jingtang’s hardcover version of Tears of a Heroine and rummage through it.

In the end, she had found the right way this time. There were all kinds of ways to bully and humiliate women in Tears of a Heroine. It was too much to take in. Even someone like her couldn’t bear to look at them!

Luo Ning took out the hardcover book from under her pillow and flipped to the page she had found yesterday to study it carefully.

This hardcover version of Tears of a Heroine was quite exquisite. Not only did the characters have illustrations, but the various items inside had also been thoughtfully illustrated by painters to allow readers to understand what they looked like. freeweb novel. com

There were many unpresentable things in the book, but Luo Ning was too embarrassed to find a craftsman to make such things. If she wanted to use something to return the favor to Third Lady, she could only make it herself. She chose this item because it was small and the workmanship was relatively simple. f reeweb novel.com

Luo Ning had secretly worked for half the night last night and had already carved out a rough prototype from wood.

After Luo Ning checked the picture carefully, she put away the book. Then she placed the piece of wood on the dressing table and measured a piece of jade against it. She was thinking about how to cut it, but before she could figure it out, she heard a sound.

Creak-

The door was pushed open!

?!

Luo Ning’s expression froze. Thinking that Ye Jingtang had returned, she hurriedly said, “Little thief! Don’t come in!”

“It’s me.”

Before she could finish speaking, a peerless beauty in a snow-white dress walked in and lifted the bead curtain in the inner room. “Ning’er, what are you doing?”

When Luo Ning saw that it was Daoist Xuanji, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to be calm. “I’m just practicing knife skills out of boredom. I’m carving an ornament.”

“Is that so?” Daoist Xuanji came in front of her and glanced at her. Then she picked up the carved piece of wood in front of the bronze mirror and sized it up. “Your knife skills are indeed ordinary…”

?

Luo Ning had spent all last night carving and felt that she did very well. When she heard this, she was naturally unhappy. “I’m just practicing casually. I don’t need to gain great skills.”

Daoist Xuanji chuckled, put the piece of wood back, and picked up the waist bell. “You’re even learning to dance?”

“I already know how to dance. 1 just bought it for fun.”

“These ears are quite unique…” Daoist Xuanji put the red fur ears on her head with great interest and looked at herself in the mirror. “This thing makes you look like a vixen. Only children like these.”

Luo Ning braced herself and explained, “I bought it for Yunli, my disciple. It looks good on you too…”

Then she continued to focus on carving and pretended to be practicing knife skills.

Daoist Xuanji originally didn’t want to disturb her, but unfortunately, Luo Ning’s knife skills were really mediocre. She would only cut the piece of jade after pondering for a long time, and she kept comparing it against the carved piece of wood.

In order to guide her unskilled best friend, Daoist Xuanji took the piece of jade and casually sized it up before pulling out the Joyful Union Sword.

Clang!

The Joyful Union Sword was one of the top ten famous swords, and Daoist Xuanji was one of the top three experts of the Eight Chiefs. Cutting jade was no different from cutting tofu.

Luo Ning was sitting at the side and watching as the fist-sized piece of white jade turned in Daoist Xuanji’s hand. Broken bits of jade fell onto the table, and in a moment, it changed into a similar shape as the piece of wood.

Daoist Xuanji was skilled in both civil and martial arts. She had taught Dongfang Liren how to draw, and she was a great artist herself. She used the Joyful Union Sword as a carving knife to cut the piece of jade into shape.. When she was dealing with the base, she asked, “What do you want to engrave?”
