Ye Fan was leisurely arranging flowers with Hua Nongyu and Hua Nongyue.

In the Great Xia Capital, at the Tang Sect Branch.

"A big client has arrived, but it's a bit tricky!"

An elder walked in, holding Ye Fan's blueprints in his hand.

Two young women were having a late-night conversation in a pavilion.

One of them was Nalan Xueyan:

"The past two days in the Great Xia Dragon Capital have been more exciting than the past few years~ First, Ye Fan crippled the Metropolitan Champion Qin Feng, then stormed the palace and killed the Crown Prince's guards, and then the Crown Prince himself was deposed!"

"I thought today's events were over, but unexpectedly, in the afternoon, North Suppressing Prince Ye Fan was assassinated!"

"North Suppressing Grand General Chen Murong might have already fallen! The Great Xia Northern Frontier is likely to be leaderless and in chaos!"

Opposite Nalan Xueyan, a woman in luxurious attire had a slight look of surprise in her beautiful eyes: "Has the number one wastrel of Great Xia, Ye Fan, suddenly changed?"

"How would I know! But Grandpa said, this is the true bloodline of Ye Zhengrong!"

Nalan Xueyan shook her head.

Sitting opposite her was her cousin, also the most outstanding mechanist among the younger generation of the Tang Sect!

Tang Miaoyi!

The sudden intrusion of the elder made Tang Miaoyi turn back with some displeasure: "Elder Liu, what is it that you can't complete? Why must you disturb me?"

Elder Liu was a bit embarrassed: "Cough cough... it's too intricate!"

"If you give me seven days, I should be able to craft it by hand!"

"However, the client offered a very high price and needs it done within a day, the sooner the better!"

"Moreover, you'll definitely be interested in this!"

Tang Miaoyi became intrigued: "Oh?"

She took the blueprints, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she immediately became engrossed!

"Interesting! Prepare the materials! Have all twelve elders come out to assist me!"

"Miaoyi sister, you promised to spend the evening with me~~" Nalan Xueyan shook her hand.

Tang Miaoyi gently brushed her hand aside: "Another day!"

With a flick of her long sleeve, she tapped Nalan Xueyan's nose and quietly turned to leave.

That night, in the Tang Sect Branch Workshop, the flames soared, and the sound of metalworking was incessant.

It wasn't until the eastern sky lightened that dawn broke.

Tang Miaoyi, her expression serious, looked at a table full of parts: "Goodness! These things are so strange! There's an organic spring, screws, and pipes..."

Elder Liu was puzzled: "Miss, is this a crossbow?"

"If it's a crossbow, it doesn't need to be so intricate, does it?"

To confuse matters, Ye Fan deliberately added a bow body and crossbow bolts to the blueprints.

Even if the Tang Sect people managed to create it, they wouldn't think it was a modern sniper rifle!

They also looked at the custom bullet casings and bullet heads Ye Fan ordered: "And these, what are they for?"

"Could they be for the crossbow?"

The other elders began discussing it all at once!

"No, that's not right!"

With her keen sense for weapons and hidden devices, Tang Miaoyi decisively shook her head: "This is a weapon!"

"A weapon? Could it be a repeating crossbow?"

Elder Liu and the others were puzzled.

"Even if it's a repeating crossbow, it wouldn't cost so much money!"

"The Tang Sect already sells ten-shot repeating crossbows! Why would the number one wastrel spend so much to custom-make a repeating crossbow?"

"Even if it's a repeating crossbow, with just that one spring, the ejection force is definitely not enough to shoot the crossbow bolt, and even if it could, it wouldn't be enough to harm anyone!"

The twelve elders discussed, shaking their heads repeatedly.

Only Tang Miaoyi turned back, staring at Elder Liu: "Who ordered this?"

"Who else could it be, of course, it's the number one wastrel of Great Xia, Ye Fan!"

Elder Liu replied with a smile.

"His people seemed in a hurry, I asked for a thousand taels of gold for one blueprint, and he didn't even blink!"

Dozens of blueprints together, at least tens of thousands of taels of gold!

He truly is the number one wastrel of Great Xia, agreeing without batting an eye!

Tang Miaoyi decisively shook her head: "No! Where in the world is there such a precise crossbow?"

She began to work, selecting parts and assembling them rapidly.

About half an hour later, a bizarre iron lump was assembled, unlike anything in their world!

"What is this thing?"

If one had to describe it, it looked like a 'paddle' for rowing a boat!

If Ye Fan were here, he would be shocked!

Tang Miaoyi was simply a genius; despite all the useless parts drawn to confuse and the bow and crossbow to cover it up, she still assembled the Barrett!!!

"This thing is like a perfect work of art!"

"Can't you feel the terrifying killing intent it exudes?"

"He drew so many useless parts just to disguise its true form!"

...

The next morning, Ye Fan finished detoxifying.

Just as he got up, Wang Danian, with red eyes, knelt outside the door to report: "Your Highness! The item you requested last night has been completed!"

"What?"

Ye Fan was a bit surprised: "So fast? Where is it!"

He quickly rushed out of the room, and Wang Danian raised his head: "Your Highness, she said it must be delivered to you personally!"

Moments later, Ye Fan walked out of the Duke's Mansion, countless eyes on the street turned to him!

"It's Ye Fan, he's out!"

"It seems he's really fine after the assassination attempt, quickly report back to the master, didn't see Chen Murong..."

Ye Fan ignored these people and headed straight to the Duke's Mansion gate, where a Tang Sect carriage awaited.

"Your Highness!"

Tang Miaoyi stood beside the carriage, smiling as she performed a grand salute: "I've brought the item, but I'm very curious, what exactly is it?"

Ye Fan frowned: "I pay, you work!"

"Isn't that the Tang Sect's rule? You have no right to question what the customer is making, right?"

"Alright!"

Tang Miaoyi didn't dwell on it, instructing someone to bring over a box.

Ye Fan opened it and almost blurted out 'Damn', his eyes nearly popping out!

A fully assembled Barrett lay quietly in the box among a pile of misleading parts!

Bang! Ye Fan slammed the box shut, staring intently at Tang Miaoyi: "How did you do it?"

Tang Miaoyi smiled: "I've been immersed in mechanical weapons since childhood! Any part in the world, once in my hands, I know its purpose and function!"

"Except for this, I can't tell what it is!"

"But..."

"But what?"

"I'm certain, it's a weapon! A very, very terrifying weapon!" Tang Miaoyi gave Ye Fan a deep look.

Ye Fan appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was already in turmoil!

In this world, there actually exists someone like Tang Miaoyi?

"Besides you, is there anyone else who could assemble this from a pile of parts?" Ye Fan asked seriously.

Tang Miaoyi smiled proudly: "Ha! In the entire Tang Sect, besides me, there's no second person!"

Ye Fan sighed in relief.

Many eyes around were watching, trying to figure out what was in the box!

Ye Fan suddenly smiled mysteriously, an idea forming in his mind: "Do you want to know what this thing is for?"

"Of course!"

"Come with me!"

Ye Fan had the box loaded onto the carriage, driving it himself, heading out of the city.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Wang Danian's face changed drastically, shouting: "Everyone! Leave three hundred to guard the mansion!"

"The other five hundred, follow me to protect His Highness!"

Ye Fan scolded: "Wang Danian, you are not to follow!"

Wang Danian was rigid: "Your Highness, you..."

"Disobey and be executed!"

Ye Fan said just one sentence.

Wang Danian shouted in grief and anger: "Everyone, stay put!!!"

Tang Miaoyi mounted her horse, ready to chase after Ye Fan!

Elder Liu was horrified: "Miss! Don't... Chen Murong is dead, but it's a secret! The North Suppressing Prince is now in danger himself!"

"Going out of the city now is tantamount to seeking death!"

Tang Miaoyi was fearless: "I'm not afraid! I must know today what that thing is!"

As Ye Fan's carriage dashed out of the city gates, countless people immediately went back to report!

"Ye Fan has left the city!"

"What? He dares to leave the city at this time? And doesn't allow the Prince's Manor Guards to follow? Is he seeking death?"

"It's over... from today on, there will be no more North Suppressing Prince in Great Xia!"

...

At the same time, deep within a luxurious residence, two mute women rushed in, anxiously signing: "The North Suppressing Prince, alone, has left the city!"

"He's gone mad!"

After a brief shock, the person chuckled: "Hahaha! He was always a madman!"

"Nothing he does is surprising!"

The voice was cold and bloodthirsty: "Inform Feng Qingyang, his opportunity has arrived!"
