Chapter 379 – Face Change

TL : GoldenLung

“What are you looking at? Do you have any sense of responsibility? Tell me the truth. Where have you been these two weeks? Do you even have a shred of compassion ? I’m working myself to death every day for you, and you left like this just after throwing everything at me, and you don’t even answer my calls. Are you annoyed at me? If you are, I’ll just go. Are you happy with me quitting ? Good luck in finding someone else.”

After saying that, the angry Le Qingling stood up, turned and walked outwards.

Tang Le frowned and looked at her slightly. How could he fail to see that this girl was just tough on the outside but soft inside. Tang Le knew all too well her personality.

Seeing that Le Qingling was about to walk to the door, her pace couldn’t help slowing down a bit. Was this scoundrel really not going to chase her?

Finally, the door appeared in front of her, should she leave ? But how could they patch the situation if she really left ?

She was really reluctant !

She turned around abruptly, with her hands on her hips, “Tang Le, have you already found someone outside? You want to drive me away, right ?”

Her eye sockets then turned red. Recalling her anxiety of the past two weeks, Le Qingling suddenly felt sad, and tears flowed down.

“What are you talking about ! Where is that someone ?” Tang Le stood up, came to her, and handed her a tissue.

Le Qingling said angrily: “You’re still denying it ? If there was no one, why didn’t you stop me from leaving? Without me, who will handle your job? I’m sure you’ve found someone.”

Tang Le raised his hand and touched her forehead, “Do you have a fever ? Why are you so angry.”

“You go away !” Le Qingling slapped his hand away.

“If you stop, I’ll just stop doing it as well.” Tang Le said helplessly: “What does this have to do with me having found someone or not ? And, who would that be ? Who do I know? Aren’t you the one in charge for contact with the outside world?”

Le Qingling was taken aback, “You quit? Do you know how much you will lose if you quit? You’ve signed a contract.”

“Then I’ll just pay the compensation. We should have enough money for that. If you quit, there is no way I can continue ! Therefore I’ll just pay the compensation.” Tang Le said naturally.

“How could this be okay ? I’ve gone through so much trouble to save that money, I wouldn’t bear it.” Le Qingling jumped up immediately, “You have to work, you are not allowed to quit. It was really hard to convince those advertising companies to make them afraid of punishing us. You…, you really didn’t find someone else? Then where did you go these past two weeks?”

Tang Le said: “Remember when we were performing at Heaven Luo, I once met a child? He went on stage with me at the time. I sang Guardian of Time, Guardian of You.”

“What’s the matter?” Le Qing asked puzzledly.

“I met him. He was admitted to Shrek Academy. I was teaching him forging for a few days. That’s why I came back late. I had to help him correctly lay the foundation, if I stayed only a few days it wouldn’t have been enough.”

“Huh?” Le Qing looked at him blankly, “You went to teach someone how to forge? You know how to forge?”

Tang Le said, “I don’t know, but I felt a very familiar sensation when I saw him holding a forging hammer, so I tried it. Then it turned out that I really know how to do it, so I taught him, and I also took the time to experience that feeling again. I seem to be really able to do it. And my level should be okay.”

Le Qingling’s expression became weird, and she asked for confirmation again: “You have been missing for the past two weeks. You went to Shrek Academy to teach someone to forge? You didn’t get kicked out from that place?”

Tang Le shook his head, “No! Shrek Academy was very amiable to talk to, and they let me stay there.”

He was afraid that Le Qingling would get worried, and did not say what happened between him and Wang Tianyu.

Le Qingling’s expression suddenly changed a little. If nothing else, there was one sure she could be sure of. Since knowing Tang Le so many years ago, Tang Le had never told a lie, and always spoke truthfully. He would not say what he didn’t want to say, but there was never any lies.

So he was saying the truth? She was feeling so uncomfortable these past few days, as if a cat’s claw was scratching at her heart, and meanwhile he was teaching forging ?

Looking at Le Qingling’s uncertain face, Tang Le felt that something was wrong.

“Are you fine ?”

The anger on Le Qingling’s face gradually disappeared, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile, “I’m fine. Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat. Well, it turns out that you were just teaching forging. It’s okay, I will take care of the work. You unexpectedly have this kind of hobby.”

With that, she turned around and walked out.

Was everything okay now ? There were still traces of tears on her face. Wasn’t there a saying these days that all women were all pickled chicken claws?

Tang Le felt a little confused.

At this moment, Le Qingling, who had already exited the door, suddenly came back and said, “If you want to forge or teach that kid next time, tell me, I’ll help you plan your working hours. As long as it’s not during work time it’s all good. And, I can also accompany you, right. After all, your identity is quite sensitive, but there are still a few ways for us to brazenly walk in. For example, it’s not a bad idea to hold a concert in Shrek City. There is nothing but big shots over there. It is also very good for your reputation.”

“Ok, good.” Tang Le agreed, and he suddenly felt that this sounded like a good idea. He could invite people from Shrek Academy to listen to his songs. In that case, would it be easier for Xuanyu? And he could see him again.

Shrek Academy.

His state during forging this afternoon was not really good. Compared with when Mr. Le was there, his efficiency was too low. Lan Xuanyu had spent a lot of time adjusting his mentality, and had finally started practicing again with difficulty.

Uncle Le hadn’t even left his soul communicator’s info either.

Only after going back to his meditation room and feeling the strong life energy there, did he feel somewhat better.

The life energy absorbed from Sea God Lake last time was almost fully digested after these two weeks. Moreover, he could clearly feel that he seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and there was just a thin line separating him from breaking through.

The 30th rank was finally in front of him.

Since entering Shrek Academy, his cultivation could be described as a thousand miles a day, and finally he was about to reach his goal.

Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu’s mood naturally improved. After breaking through the 30th rank, it will be a new world.

Now that he was no longer threatened by his bloodline power, his breakthroughs would no longer be dangerous. It was just that whenever he wanted to break through, why did I still feel somewhat difficult? It seemed that there was a barrier at rank 30, a very sturdy one.

A faint smile appeared on his face, he would try again today.

Focusing, he made his soul power circulate throughout his body according to the Mysterious Heaven Skil’s path. Soft soul power ran as usual along his meridians.

At the same time, Lan Xuanyu mobilized his bloodline power to stimulate his life energy, gradually transforming it into soul power, so that his soul power would become more abundant.

These past two weeks, he could feel that his physical strength was improving very rapidly through his forging training. Of course, this was not just from swinging hammers, but from the nourishment of his bloodline to his body.

His skin had become more crystal clear than before, and it was very resilient. His whole body was growing rapidly under the nourishment of his bloodline. This was also one of the reasons why Tang Le said he had made great progress.

He also felt that the benefits of forging were becoming more and more obvious, his physical fitness had improved, and so did his strength. But he had to start anew in getting used to controlling his strength. Learning how to control one’s strength through forging was undoubtedly the best way to do it. In just two short weeks, he had become more and more used to his new strength, and his usage of it was becoming more and more perfect. Although this kind of progress was not as explosive as a Martial Soul’s Second Awakening, it was very comprehensive. Lan Xuanyu himself could feel that his overall strength was improving at a particularly stable rate.

If he still couldn’t break through to rank 30, then it was about time for him to should go to Sea God Lake to cultivate again. Although it was very expensive, as long as he did it once more, he believed he would be able to to break through to rank 30 or above.
