Chapter 34: Flunky
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Zhangsun Ziqian recognized from the voice that the speaker was Song Mao, his fellow disciple, so he went out with his face down.
When Song Mao saw him, he gushed in an ironic tone, “You were indeed in Uncle Xiang’s house. Hum, I thought you would become low-key after stealing my magic weapon to finish the task, or you would be ashamed to stay here and pack up to leave Hailu Village and Haishan College consciously. Unexpectedly, in order to save your reputation, you used Uncle Xiang to help you forge the holy magic weapon, and asked him intentionally to tell everyone it was your work. How shameless you are! You think everyone is an idiot and can easily be fooled? With your ability, you can’t even forge a low-grade magic weapon, let alone a holy one. So hilarious!”

Hearing this, the disciples from the academy who came to watch the fun whispered in a low voice, “It turns out that he wants to use the magic weapon made by uncle Xiang to restore his reputation. The man is so shameless. I really thought it was he who made it just now.”
Zhangsun Ziqian pulled his face long, “Song Mao, I think you know better than me who the real criminal was to steal the magic weapon. What else you can do after you get the quota to enter Nine Void Sect? You still wouldn’t be able to forge a good magic weapon in the following days in there. Sooner or later, everyone will find out that you have no capability at all.”
Song Mao then turned to the crowd, “Everybody listen to what he said. He is jealous and even begins to curse me.”
“Song Mao, you are the shameless one.” Xiang Lv could not help sneering, “I saw with my own eyes how Ziqian refined the ingredients and made a first-class magic weapon. What about you? Seeing Ziqian truly made it, you’ve become jealous. On one hand, you sucked up to Ziqian and asked him if you could borrow his work to study how to make a real magic weapon, while on the other hand, you shamelessly publicized that you were its true maker. You even colluded with your evil fair-feather friends to let them be your witnesses and then returned the magic weapon to Ziqian. When he handed his work to your master, you jumped out and claimed that he stole your magic weapon. Didn’t you think your behavior disgusting? I have never seen such a scheming villain in Hailu Village for all these years. People like you are destined to walk not far on the road to real cultivation. Sooner or later, you will get yourself destroyed. You will never defeat your devil in the heart on the road of promotions.”
Song Mao’s face sunk, “Uncle Xiang, you are can’t speak for him just because he shares a yard with you.”
“I’m telling the truth. The villagers and the disciples who came here at the same time with me all know who I am. I won’t take sides with him just because he lives in my yard. Everyone, if you believe me, you should also believe Ziqian instead of this flunky.”
Disciples from the academy who knew the characters of Xiang Lv began to speak for him, “I believe Uncle Xiang, he treats everyone with no difference and only sticks to the truth instead of taking side with his close friends. Since he said he saw with his own eyes, the real forger must be Zhangsun Ziqian.”
Seeing everyone gradually shifting sides to Zhangsun Ziqian, Song Mao became ferocious, “What’s the use of your quibbling? Even our master shifu believes Zhangsun Ziqian stole my magic weapon as his own assignment.”
Xiang Lv sneered, “Your master must have taken your spiritual stones in private. Is that why he is partial to you? If he really wants to cherish real talents, he should ask you two to refine the magic weapons again before the public, and then he will be able to tell who is the real thief.”
Realizing that Xiang Lv had figured out the truth, Song Mao was both anxious and angry, “I respect you as an old-timer, so I won’t argue with you. But if you continue to talk nonsense, don’t blame my rudeness.”
“Are you angry because I told the truth?” said Xiang Lv with his arms crossed, “I’d like to see how you would deal with me, and how you would hurt me with your weak spiritual power.”
Being looked down upon, Song Mao was so angry that he took out a level one pure magic weapon reserved for his assignment and rushed to Xiang Lv, “I’ll let you know how miserable your fate would be if you look down upon on me.”
At the same time, Zhangsun Ziqian picked up his magic weapon to block in front of Xiang Lv. With a loud “clang”, the two magic weapons collided together.
Song Mao sneered, “Your level one ordinary magic weapon can’t compete with my pure one, don’t daydream.”
Xiang Lv was also worried that Zhangsun Ziqian would not be able to handle this. So he persuaded him, “Ziqian, step aside, let me handle this. I will make him suffer, otherwise, he would think we are easy to be bullied.”
“Uncle Xiang, I am responsible for the incident. I want to solve it myself and do not want to get you into trouble.” Zhangsun Ziqian infused his spiritual power into the magic weapon, and then the magic rune stuck on the weapon fell off to the ground.
Xiang Lv looked down and saw that the rune on the figure was missing.
