Chapter 909: Regret, Si Fuqing’s Medical Skills, Pain in the Face (1)
Due to his secret mission, Xi Jiang and Feng San always kept a low profile among the Mo family’s non-clan members, remaining unnoticed and without any reputation or fanfare.
Xi Jiang making it to the top four in the martial arts assessment was already astonishing to everyone, even more so when he defeated Feng Dong with a single move.
But for him to achieve an SSS rating in hidden weapon crafting was beyond anyone’s imagination.
In the history of the final assessment, there had been a few S-ratings, but never an SSS.
This was because external members were thought to have a ceiling on their abilities.
Feng Dong’s smile gradually froze, and he shouted incredulously, “This is impossible!”
His outburst was sudden, but successfully brought everyone back to reality.
“SSS... the last S-rated contestant only managed to create the ninth-ranked hidden weapon...”
“What on earth did he create? I suspect it’s one of the top five hidden weapons!”
“This is terrifying; I can’t even imagine it.”
“The Elder Council has always been fair,” the second elder looked coldly at Feng Dong. “If you have any objections, win against me first.”
Feng Dong couldn’t catch his breath, his body trembling uncontrollably.
It felt like a thousand bees were buzzing around his ears, his mind was ringing, and his vision turned black.
Mo Chuyi was also perplexed but didn’t react as impulsively as Feng Dong. She frowned and left the scene with a cold expression.
Feng Dong meant little to her; he could be replaced at any time.
Seeing Xi Jiang’s high rating, she always thought of recruiting him.
She felt a pang of regret.
Why hadn’t she directly trained Xi Jiang herself?
“Congratulations, Brother Tan,” many people came forward to congratulate Xi Jiang. “Congratulations on achieving first place.”
Xi Jiang remained humble and steady. “Thank you, everyone.”
After this assessment, Xi Jiang became well-known in the Mo family, with everyone recognizing that an external member had achieved power on par with the core family members.
Father Tan couldn’t stop smiling, finally feeling relieved. Before he could pull Xi Jiang aside for a private word, the Elder Council had already taken Xi Jiang away.
As the assessment concluded, Si Fuqing stood up. “Brother Nine, I’m going back to send my grandma off”
Yu Xiheng nodded. “Go ahead.”
In the courtyard, their luggage was already packed.
“Grandma, I suspect your sedative has been tampered with.” Si Fuqing handed a bottle of medicine to Old Lady In, her expression serious. “I’ve helped regulate your body. Within a year, using your evolved abilities normally shouldn’t cause a loss of control, but there’s always a chance.”
“This is an auxiliary medicine I refined over the past two days. If you feel unwell, take one. Don’t tell anyone.”
Old Lady In’s eyes turned cold. “It seems many in the In family still want me dead.”
There were too few Class A or higher evolved beings for the In family to allow internal killings.
Those who wanted Old Lady In dead could only resort to other means.
The In family was ironically the safest place.
Si Fuqing’s tone was indifferent. “Let them try.”
The In family was too far from the Great Xia Empire, so her sensing talismans weren’t very effective. She gave Old Lady In some single-use attack talismans and several new handguns before letting the great elder escort her out.
On the way, In Qiushi hesitated. “Actually, with the little young lady’s medical skills, this alone was worth the Elder Council to invite her back.”
Yu Tang browsed through the comments.
Ninety percent of Si Fuqing’s fans believed she was solely focused on making money.
Yu Tang sighed.
Qingqing’s love for money was evident to all.
Her Uncle Nine was truly pitiable.
Yu Tang quickly took some screenshots and sent them to Lu Xingheng.
[Yu Tang]: If you don’t take me to play games and dare to kill me, I’ll send these screenshots to my Uncle Nine.
[Lu Xingheng]: ...
[Lu Xingheng]: I’ll take you. I’ll stand still and let you kill me. Ancestor, please don’t harm me.
Yu Tang was very satisfied.
Her Uncle Nine was truly effective everywhere.
Although she didn’t understand why someone as arrogant as Lu Xingheng feared her Uncle Nine, it didn’t stop her from bullying him.
Yu Tang gave herself a mental pat on the back.

In the afternoon, the prototype of the Unseen Needles of Grace created by Xi Jiang was specially displayed in a glass case by the second elder, showcased to the Mo family’s direct descendants.
Mo Chuyi looked at the exquisite hidden weapon and couldn’t help but gasp.
The prototype of the Unseen Needles of Grace was crafted by an external member?!
No wonder Xi Jiang’s hidden weapon rating was the highest, SSS.
Such a top-tier hidden weapon, even with blueprints, wasn’t easily made.
That’s why the Mo family had openly shared the Meteor Sleeve Arrow blueprints.
They had been public for decades, yet only about eleven or twelve external members had managed to make them.
“See that?” the second elder said. “You all need to step up your game, or you’ll be overtaken.”
Mo Chuyi’s expression turned grim. “Yes, thank you for the guidance, Second Elder.”
She took a deep breath, even more determined to recruit Xi Jiang.
With Xi Jiang, perhaps she could create the Unseen Needles of Grace herself.
Mo Chuyi left the exhibition area hurriedly, feeling a surge of excitement.
Feng Dong was waiting outside.
As an external member, he wasn’t allowed inside.
Seeing Mo Chuyi come out, he opened his mouth. “Miss Chuyi, I...”
Mo Chuyi ignored him and walked straight past.
Feng Dong clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. He then saw the second elder coming out and immediately approached.
The second elder didn’t remember Feng Dong and gave him a cursory glance. “What do you want?”
“Second Elder, I have a question,” Feng Dong’s voice was loud. “Why does Xi Jiang have an SSS rating? What hidden weapon did he make? I’m not convinced! Why is my rating lower than his?”
“Why an SSS rating? Fine, I’ll tell you why!” The second elder finally looked at him, coldly saying, “Because he created the prototype of the Unseen Needles of Grace! Because the Unseen Needles of Grace can be brought back to life in his hands! Are these reasons enough for you?”
If he couldn’t understand this, what was the point of staying in the Mo family?
