The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder

Chapter 252.1– Oafish

The reason why she left just now was probably because she wanted to take the opportunity to calm down. Now that she appeared in front of Xue Qilin again, she has already removed that scary expression from her face. However, her eyes are still faintly shot with blood and her face is expressionless.

Xue Qilin just stepped back out of fear. But, she didn’t expect Li Wanting to suddenly throw a book towards her.

“Here you go!”

“Ah!”

Pursuing the book that was thrown high into the air with her eyes, Xue Qilin extended her hands in a panic and unconsciously caught it.

“What’s this — it’s heavy!”

Xue Qilin asked, bewildered. The weight of the book is beyond her imagination. Consequently, she almost dropped it.

“A manual.”

Li Wanting answered coldly.

Then, without waiting for Xue Qilin to ask what the manual is for, she picked up a small wooden case from the nearby cabinet and threw it in front of the lass.

When the case fell on the floor, it made a heavy sound. At the same time, sounds of some fine metallic things colliding came from inside.

Xue Qilin lightly kicked the small wooden case. But unexpectedly, it resulted in a series of crisp metallic sounds. She was taken aback, and then asked hesitantly, “... what is this?”

“A toolbox.”

A manual and a toolbox? Xue Qilin was baffled by Li Wanting suddenly giving her these two things. However, just when she wanted to ask about them, she suddenly noticed that there are two large words, namely “Empyrean Universe”, written on the manual.

— could it be...

Xue Qilin, who has a bad premonition, hugged the manual and asked probingly, “Is this ‘Empyrean Universe’s’ manual?”

Li Wanting crossed her arms, shot Xue Qilin a glance, and answered, “Yes.”

“So you want me to do it myself?”

“I gave you the manual, it has detailed diagrams.”

She probably means for Xue Qilin to reassemble the mechanism sword according to the instructions. When she understood this, Xue Qilin fell into a state of stupefaction.

Ignoring the lass, Li Wanting pointed to a cabinet and said flatly, “If there are any parts missing, just look there. They are all Empyrean Universe’s spare parts. You –”

“Wait! Let’s discuss it! This is really precise work! How can I, someone who has little to no understanding of this subject, get it back to the way it was by just looking at the manual?”

Finally, Xue Qilin, who came back to her senses, promptly waved her hands and interrupted Li Wanting.

There is a saying — different trades are worlds apart.

If Xue Qilin was given the spell model diagram, it would still be somewhat possible for her to repair a broken, unfamiliar spell model. However, what she has to repair is not a spell model, but a mechanism sword composed of countless parts and components. It is still up in the air whether she can understand those complicated diagrams.

“Think about it, if I’m not careful — eh!”

Xue Qilin suddenly inhaled.

Li Wanting glared at her with her bloodshot eyes, forcing her to swallow back all the excuses she still hasn’t uttered.

“Young Ancestor, will you fixt it or not?”

Li Wanting tightly grasped Xue Qilin’s shoulders, clenched her teeth, and asked this in an overcast, ominous tone. This tone of voice startled Xue Qilin and made her involuntarily withdraw her neck. She momentarily didn’t answer the question.

Not caring if she scared the lass or not, Li Wanting stared at the other party and asked, “What’s your answer?”

“I’ll fix it, I’ll fix it! I’ll just fix it!”

Xue Qilin vigorously nodded her head.

“Alright, then get to it!”

As if really satisfied with her reaction, Li Wanting released her grip of the other party right away.

“But, I haven’t eaten dinner yet...” Xue Qilin made a crying face, “How about we eat first?”

It is already dusk, it is almost dinner time.

If Xue Qilin, who is a novice, starts to assemble the mechanism sword now, she will never finish it before dinner time. Moreover, judging from Li Wanting’s attitude, it seems that she has no intention to let her have dinner before working.

“If you work hard enough, you naturally won’t feel hungry, Young Ancestor.”

Sure enough, Li Wanting unreasonably turned down Xue Qilin’s request.

I’m not you... Xue Qilin felt like crying.

She didn’t feel hungry moments ago. But as soon as she learned that she won’t have any food later, her belly protested and began to roar.

However, Xue Qilin also knows that although Li Wanting is straightforward and a little dense, but she is more stubborn than Qi Qiqi. When she has decided something, she won’t be swayed that easily, just like her fascination with sword casting and mechanism arts.

Xue Qilin sighed in resignation, and then dejectedly placed the manual on the flor and opened it. Next, she took a few looks at the manual and found that she can’t make heads or tails of the things inside it.

In her eyes, those diagrams are just intelligible scribbles.

Having said that, Xue Qilin has an advantage, which is her rather fast learning ability. She soon caught a clue. According to the tags in the manual, she found a few corresponding tools in the toolbox and finally began to assemble the mechanism sword.

Seeing that she finally started to work, Li Wanting took out a book from a bookcase, went to the only table in the room, and sat down. She monitored Xue Qilin’s work while reading the book.

During her work, Qi Qiqi suddenly paid a visit. It seems that she was looking for Xue Qilin. Xue Qilin thought that she was here to plead for her. But after Li Wanting said a few words to her, she showed an expression of helplessness. In the end, she simply told Xue Qilin to be diligent, and then just left.

Regarding this, Xue Qilin secretly scolded Qi Qiqi for being a traitor, and then continued to work with a bitter expression.

Just like this, a night passed.
