Chapter 247: Chapter 181: Refining the Sword Embryo, A Bizarre Misunderstanding_3
Ma Gu simply smiled slightly, playing coy.
Just as Lu Qing was about to remain speechless, Ma Gu took off the long sword from his waist.
“Right, Brother Lu Qing, I just realized a few days ago, is this the sword you gave me?”
Lu Qing looked over, the scabbard seemed familiar; it was indeed the one he had asked Master Lin of Zhu Xin Workshop to make, so he nodded.
“Yes, it is my gift to you, a token of congratulations for your and Young Master Wei’s master-disciple ceremony.”
“Is it really from you?” Ma Gu’s eyes widened, “Brother Lu Qing, do you know that this is a Thousand Refinement Level treasure sword?”
“I know, otherwise why would I give it to you?” Lu Qing continued nodding.
Nonsense, he had personally crafted the sword; how could he not know its quality?
However, Lu Qing was somewhat puzzled.
He had given away the sword some time ago, so why was Ma Gu only asking about it now?
“A Thousand Refinement Level treasure sword is extremely valuable, priceless; Brother Lu Qing, such a precious gift, I really can’t accept, you should take it back,” Ma Gu hastily said.
In his heart, Lu Qing was the great benefactor who had saved him several times.
He had not yet found the chance to repay such a huge favor and had no right to accept such an expensive gift.
You must know, a blade of the Thousand Refinement Level, even among the Ma family’s treasure trove, not one could be found.
So when Ma Gu first discovered this congratulatory gift, not just him, but even the Family Head was utterly stunned.
Lu Qing: “…Didn’t Housekeeper Wei tell you that I made this sword myself, and it didn’t cost much?”
“You personally crafted this treasure sword?”
Unexpectedly to Lu Qing, upon hearing this, Ma Gu’s eyes widened even more, as big as a cow’s, filled with disbelief.
Lu Qing fell completely silent.
Looking at Ma Gu’s expression, which didn’t seem like he was faking, he must truly have been unaware.
But why would Housekeeper Wei make such a mistake?
What Lu Qing didn’t know was that with the thoroughness Housekeeper Wei usually brought to his work, he indeed wouldn’t have made such a basic error.
However, on the day of the master-disciple ceremony, many things happened, especially with Wei Zian being ambushed and seriously injured.
Even though he was saved by Lu Qing with Spiritual Medicine, his life was narrowly spared.
But his Primordial Qi was greatly damaged, causing the master-disciple ceremony to end abruptly.
Afterwards, the Wei Family was in a rush to find out who had placed the bounty to assassinate Wei Zian, resulting in the neglect of the gift matter. They just sent over what belonged to Ma Gu to the Ma family, and the rest were not explained clearly.
Among them, Lu Qing’s gift got mixed in with many others and was very inconspicuous.
It was later, when the Ma family was tallying the gifts, that they saw the name on the gift box and realized it was from Lu Qing.
Upon opening it and seeing the Thousand Refinement Treasure Sword inside, they were shocked.
By that time, Lu Qing and the elder doctor had already set off on their return journey to Jiuli Village.
After hearing Ma Gu’s story, Lu Qing finally understood what had happened.
He smiled, “In that case, Mr. Ma, please keep the sword at ease. This sword was a practice piece I made at Zhu Xin Workshop before, nothing exceptional, and it didn’t cost much.”
These words completely floored Ma Gu.
A Thousand Refinement Level practice piece…
Had Brother Lu Qing’s casting technique already reached such a level?
Wait, when had Brother Lu Qing learned to craft? He wasn’t aware of it?
Had it been during the days when he went home? But that was only a few days!
For a moment, Ma Gu’s thoughts were in turmoil, his brain nearly crashing.
However, knowing it was indeed crafted by Lu Qing himself, he eventually accepted the Thousand Refinement Treasure Sword.
“Mr. Ma, have you eaten yet? I just made breakfast, would you like to join me?”
Seeing Ma Gu’s mood had recovered, Lu Qing asked.
Ma Gu’s eyes immediately lit up, “Of course I want to eat. I intentionally skipped breakfast and timed my arrival, just because I haven’t tasted your cooking in so long and missed it.”
“…,” Hearing such a bold and justified freeloading excuse, Lu Qing could only laugh helplessly, “Alright, you go inside and wait a bit, I’ll go call Little Yan and the others.”
