Chapter 1198: Chapter 517: The Blind Artificer, All Glory to Jiang Yunxi_2

Qi Yuan’s father invited the blind Artificer to join their organization to forge the strongest Magic Artifact.

However, the blind Artificer declined.

"This must be noted, after all, to impersonate Son-in-law Qi Yuan, I must grasp all information related to him."

"Impersonating the blind Artificer..."

Qi Yuan pondered.

Suddenly, he squinted his eyes.

"This impersonation is so peculiar, once started, one would become blind, and if it’s not Perfect, one would remain in the state of the blind Artificer?"

The rest of the impersonations didn’t have this kind of problem.

He could be the Kitchen Knife, could be Shen Lin, could even be the Son-in-law Qi Yuan, and switch at will.

But impersonating the blind Artificer was different, once it began, it had to be completed in one go.

"Is this because, among all the roles for impersonation, his will is the strongest, taking control?"

Qi Yuan speculated.

"It seems I still can’t impersonate the blind Artificer now, I still need to impersonate the Son-in-law Qi Yuan and Shen Lin."

"However, even if I don’t actively impersonate, in no more than five months, I will have to."

Qi Yuan felt solemn.

Impersonation had its limits, he currently did not want to solely impersonate the blind Artificer.

But if he didn’t impersonate, in no more than five months, he would be forced to.

"No matter, I still have five months, I must rapidly increase my strength, and... study some more.

After all, the blind Artificer’s lifelong wish was only to become a Divine Grade Artificer, what if I become a Divine Grade Artificer within five months, wouldn’t the impersonation pass immediately?"

Qi Yuan did not want to be blind.

He couldn’t help but look at Jiang Yunxi, showing an expression as if expecting the unexpected.

"This connection... must not be wasted."

...

The fall of the Water Lord Lutan caused a great shock.

Especially on that day, ten Soldier Commanders in the Underwater Palace, the strongest one there, a man named Wei Kun known as Sorrowful Wind, chose to stay in the Underwater Palace.

But who knew, shortly after the other Soldier Commanders left, the Underwater Palace emitted a shocking roar, and the robust Magic Artifact collapsed on the spot, disintegrating into nothingness.

Sorrowful Wind Wei Kun died inside the Underwater Palace, never emerging.

This sudden turn of events took the rest of the Soldier Commanders by surprise, and they couldn’t help feeling... there might be a conspiracy at play.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but the news that Jiang Yunxi stayed behind the Water Lord Lutan spread rapidly.

Especially the next day, when the King of Zhen Mountain found Jiang Yunxi.

Regarding the affair of the Underwater Palace, Jiang Yunxi was evasive, but at night, the King of Zhen Mountain coincidentally discovered her personal diary, unveiling the truth.

"Jiang Yunxi turned out to be the Child of Destiny, favored by a mysterious old man who lent her a Magic Artifact Kitchen Knife, with which she killed the Water Lord!"

"Hisss, a mere Profound Level Soldier Commander actually managed to slay the Water Lord Lutan, whom even the Heavenly Sect struggled with, what level of Magic Artifact is this!"

"From now on, I am nothing but Jiang Yunxi Commandery Princess’s dog!"

"The Water Lord Lutan is gone... gone?"

Those who received the news felt as though it was all like a dream.

While the Artificer convention was in full swing discussing the repair of the mighty Weilong Xuanyuan and various Soldier Commanders had resolved to die attempting to kill the Water Lord.

The result told us that the Water Lord suddenly vanished, slain by an unheard-of Commandery Princess.

Jiang Yunxi can now rightly be called a favored daughter of the heavens.

Daily, many came to deliver gifts to the King of Zhen Mountain’s temporary residence.

The King of Zhen Mountain was all smiles daily, seemingly very happy.

In contrast, Jiang Yunxi lived in seclusion, requesting that those Artificers from the convention deliver ancient tomes related to Artifact Refining, winning the favor of many.

"Neither arrogant nor rash, Commandery Princess Yunxi possesses a phoenix’s grace!"

"It’s a pity, I heard from the storytelling old man in the tavern that when that legendary terrifying Magic Artifact killed the Water Lord Lutan, it withstood several of Lutan’s hits to protect Commandery Princess Yunxi, and turned to ashes."

Some lamented.

Jiang Yunxi ultimately lived in storied legend, and the diary from that time was also altered.

Her Magic Artifact Kitchen Knife, in that tale, heroically protected its master and shattered.

"I wonder when I will be able to acquire such a Magic Artifact?"

Meanwhile, just then, outside a courtyard, Xie Danran looked solemn, appearing righteous but his eyes betrayed a hint of worry upon closer inspection.

He stood respectfully outside the courtyard, his figure tall and straight.

At this moment, a Maid came out.

"Master Xie, please come in, the Commandery Princess is waiting for you inside."

Xie Danran quickly performed a courtesy.

His heart, however, was a tumult of emotions.

Some time ago, he had met that foolish Commandery Princess on Yesan Lake.

At the time, the two had a conflict.

The Commandery Princess said she was there to save the world and asked not to be hindered.

He didn’t care and mocked her in his heart.

But who could have known that the Water Lord would actually be slain by Jiang Yunxi.

"Commandery Princess detests evil as if it’s her enemy, she’s naive and vivacious...It must have been my fault last time for vexing her. This time we meet, I need to reverse my image. I can’t deceive someone as astute as Shen Lingxuan, but her—I can’t deceive her?"

Xie Danran’s thoughts spun as he stood up even straighter, appearing as a modest gentleman.

He had to change his image before the Commandery Princess.

Soon, led by a maid, he met Jiang Yunxi who sat behind the curtains.

Xie Danran hurriedly paid respects, "Heavenly Sect’s Xie Danran greets Her Highness the Commandery Princess. The Princess’s brave stand saved the dawn of the world from fire and water, I truly admire you!"

His body bent so low, it was nearly a kneel, his attitude was extremely humble.

"At Yesan Lake, Danran failed to recognize the true phoenix and vexed the Commandery Princess; I often reminisce with endless remorse!"

Behind the curtains, Jiang Yunxi’s toes curled in delight—it seemed she loved to be flattered.

However, recalling Qi Yuan’s serious orders, she said in a crisp voice, like a deer nibbling at young lotus stems, "I heard that you once offered a poison plot, wishing to present Shen Lingxuan to Rakshasa Country visitors from the Central Land?"

Xie Danran was puzzled. Wasn’t the Commandery Princess seeking him for his obstruction?

Instead, she was asking about this.

He quickly knelt, his expression turning earnest, "Your Highness is unaware, the person I admire and care for the most, is my Junior Sister Shen Lingxuan.

To send Junior Sister to the people from Rakshasa Country—ask who would be most heartbroken, naturally, it’s me. This pain is so great, even digging out my heart ten times wouldn’t suffice.

But even if it’s painful, for the sake of thirty million people of Jining Prefecture, I would still propose this poisonous plan!"

Xie Danran was kneeling on the ground, his tears flowing in seemingly sincere remorse.

As he spoke, he beat his chest relentlessly, tears streaming.

Jiang Yunxi, behind the curtains, was also moved by Xie Danran’s performance.

Could it be that Master Kitchen Knife was wrong?

Was Xie Danran a good person? Had they made a mistake?

Nevertheless, remembering Master Kitchen Knife’s instructions, she still scoffed, "Hmph, who knows what ill intentions you harbor!"

"If it means saving the multitudes, why fear even if this body should shatter?"

The two continued to exchange words.

Although Jiang Yunxi was somewhat clever, she wasn’t particularly bright.

After talking for two hours, Jiang Yunxi was swayed by Xie Danran.

Confidence filled Xie Danran’s eyes even more, and he stood straighter than before.

He felt that given a few more hours, he could completely win Jiang Yunxi over.

"You may leave now."

Jiang Yunxi waved her hand.

This left Xie Danran somewhat melancholic, feeling as though he still had many tactics left unexerted.

However, he had no choice but to leave.

"Master Kitchen Knife, I feel like this Xie Danran seems like a good person. When he speaks, he is righteous and passionate, just like the heroes in storybooks.

Alas, I did as you said, deliberately provoked him, and he didn’t even get angry or utter rudeness," Jiang Yunxi whispered softly.

Not far away, Kitchen Knife paused in his reading.

"You’re still too young. I’m leaving tomorrow, so I’ll give you the last lesson of your life."

"Come, let me ask you, during this period, hasn’t Xie Danran avoided saying any curse words or insults?"

"Yes," Jiang Yunxi nodded.

"That means he knows curse words and insults like the back of his hand, which is why he can perfectly avoid them."

"Ah?"

"Understand now, what good person can be so adept with these?

He’s not a common morally degraded person, he’s an adept pretender of moral degradation!"

Jiang Yunxi’s eyes widened, "Master Kitchen Knife, you make sense!"

She had an epiphany.

"Moreover, these past two hours, hasn’t he never denied being a murderer, rapist, bandit, Strange Spirit, and the like?"

"It seems... not."

"So the answer is clear."

"It’s extremely scary; Master Kitchen Knife, if it weren’t for you, I would never have realized how well he can pretend. I’ll have someone execute him right away!"

Jiang Yunxi said hurriedly.

Now, having slain Water Lord Rakshasa and saved Jining Prefecture, her power was substantial, her words carrying weight.

Xie Danran having offended her, had but one path left—death!
