The sun was shining brightly that afternoon.
After finishing his official duties, Su Ye went to the back garden to look for Wei Zifu and Xi Shi.
The two women were sitting in the pavilion playing chess, and the game on the board was already very intense.
Su Ye quietly approached and stood aside to watch the battle.
Wei Zifu, holding the black pieces, was deep in thought; while Xi Shi looked at her with a smile, appearing confident and assured.
"It seems Zifu is going to lose."
Su Ye chuckled softly, breaking the tranquil atmosphere.
"Your Highness has finally arrived! Please give me some advice."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zifu looked up and saw that it was Su Ye who had arrived, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even if Your Highness is here, you can't be biased. I'm sure I'll win this game."
Xi Shi, however, refused.
"I wouldn't dare to be biased, but judging from the situation, Zifu is indeed in grave danger."
Su Ye smiled and shook his head.
After a fierce battle, Wei Zifu was ultimately defeated.
She turned her head away in annoyance, while Xi Shi laughed triumphantly.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry."
"Life is like a game of chess; winning and losing are the norm."
"Besides, Yiguang is indeed more skilled, so it's not unjust for her to lose to her."
Su Ye smiled and comforted her.
"Your Highness is right. I was too stubborn."
Wei Zifu nodded upon hearing this.
"Yiguang won this time, but it won't be so easy next time."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xi Shi.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for Sister Zifu's challenge."
Xi Shi smiled playfully.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint fragrance of flowers and the clear chirping of birds.
Su Ye narrowed his eyes and swayed as he walked out of the governor's mansion alone.
He held in his hand the Mo Xia Sword, which Si Luoying had picked up at a small stall.
He wandered through the ancient streets and alleys of Cangling City.
They arrived at a corner of the city—a workshop meticulously crafted for the Mo family, named "Moyun Workshop".
Moyunfang is the embodiment of Cangling City's highest respect for the Mo family's craftsmanship. It brings together the Mo family's elite craftsmen, dedicated to inheriting and innovating the Mo family's extraordinary skills.
Inside the workshop, tools were displayed in abundance.
Various ingenious mechanical devices and unique smelting furnaces demonstrate the Mohist school's pursuit and dedication to craftsmanship.
As Su Ye stepped into Moyunfang, she felt a simple yet solemn atmosphere.
It is as if every brick and every tool carries the wisdom and history of the Mohists.
"Mr. Huang, please take a look."
Su Ye solemnly handed the Mo Xia Sword to Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan, a senior elder of the Mohist school, took the sword, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration and respect.
The two moved to the study, which was simply yet elegantly furnished, with a wisp of tea fragrance rising in the air.
The gentle swaying of the sycamore leaves outside the window added a touch of tranquility and elegance to the meeting.
The sycamore leaves outside the window swayed gently in the wind, adding a touch of elegance to the conversation.
"Elder Huang, this sword is called the Mo Xia Sword, which was made by the Mo family specifically for chivalrous heroes."
"I hope that the elder can lead the Mohist disciples to study the techniques behind them and create a batch of standardized weapons for my Divine Martial Pavilion."
Su Ye spoke slowly, her voice revealing respect and trust for Huang Chengyan.
"My lord, this sword is indeed extraordinary. Its ingenious design and unique function make it a true treasure of our Mohist craftsmen."
Huang Chengyan gently stroked the blade of the Mo Xia Sword.
The cold, metallic texture filled him with longing, and his eyes gleamed with pride and contemplation regarding the Mo family's techniques.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will certainly live up to your expectations."
"The Mohist school's techniques are profound and extensive, and this sword is one of its treasures."
"I will lead my disciples to study diligently and strive to create a batch of excellent standard weapons for the Divine Martial Pavilion as soon as possible."
He looked up at Su Ye and nodded slightly.
Su Ye was very pleased to hear this.
He was well aware of Huang Chengyan's talent and craftsmanship, and believed that under Huang Chengyan's leadership, the Mo family's skills would surely be carried forward in Cangzhou.
"Elder, the Divine Martial Pavilion is newly established and needs a batch of excellent weapons to enhance its strength."
"I have high hopes for this sword, and I hope the elder can complete its development as soon as possible."
He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious.
"This sword is exquisitely designed and has unique functions; it truly represents the pinnacle that we craftsmen strive for."
"It is truly fortunate that my lord has obtained this sword."
Huang Chengyan examined the Mo Xia sword in his hand again and sighed.
He praised the sword highly, expressing his sincere admiration for its design skills and exquisite craftsmanship.
"Elder, you flatter me. This sword is indeed precious, but in my hands it would be a waste. Only by entrusting it to a skilled craftsman like you can its true value be realized."
Su Ye said modestly.
Cough... Although the credit for this sword of the ink-black sword doesn't belong to him.
But Si Luoying wanted to belong entirely to him.
What's hers is mine, isn't it?
Su Ye thought to himself, feeling a little guilty.
However, Su Ye recalled his previous visit to the residences of the three princesses.
It's likely that she had already heard the true identity of this sword from the Sixth Princess, Si Luoqing.
Therefore, when giving it to Su Ye, she even took the initiative.
After chatting for a while longer, Huang Chengyan got up to say goodbye and prepared to return to the workshop to begin studying the techniques of the Ink Sword.
Su Ye personally escorted Huang Chengyan to the door, watching his departing figure with anticipation and confidence in her heart.
Several days later, Huang Chengyan led the Mo family disciples to begin in-depth research on the Mo Xia Sword.
They worked day and night, constantly experimenting and improving.
Significant results were finally achieved after one month.
Huang Chengyan personally presented the newly forged Mo Xia sword to Su Ye.
The sword gleamed with the same cold light, seemingly identical to the original Mo Xia Sword.
"Elder Huang, you and the Mohist disciples have worked hard."
"This newly forged Ink Sword is just as good as the original Ink Sword in terms of both craftsmanship and quality."
"With such weapons, the strength of my Divine Martial Pavilion will surely reach a new level."
Su Ye took the sword, examined it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face:
"You flatter me, my lord."
"It is an honor for us Mohist disciples to be able to contribute to Cangzhou for our lord."
"We have basically mastered the craftsmanship of this Ink Sword, and now we can begin mass production."
Huang Chengyan also showed a relieved smile.
"That's excellent. Elder Huang, what are your plans next?"
Su Ye nodded in agreement.
"I wish to lead my disciples to continue to study other Mohist techniques in depth, and strive to provide the Divine Martial Pavilion with more valuable weapons and mechanisms."
"At the same time, we will continue to improve and perfect the manufacturing process of the Mo Xia sword to ensure that every sword is a masterpiece."
Huang Chengyan pondered for a moment before speaking.
