Chapter 2961 - 2962: Difficult Problem

Chapter 2961: Chapter 2962: Difficult Problem

"Huh...Hmm?"

Yang Mufeng widened his eyes, seemingly not expecting Xue An to say something like this at all.

"No...not going to fight me?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"But...aren’t you afraid I’ll kill this guy?" Yang Mufeng raised her hand and pointed behind her at Wu Nianyin.

"Then go ahead and do it, but I believe you won’t!" Xue An said calmly.

Yang Mufeng’s face turned green at once, and after a long while, she said hoarsely, "How do you know I won’t?"

"It’s simple because you’ve never killed anyone before!"

Xue An’s words hit the core of Yang Mufeng’s soul, leaving her standing there speechless, her face full of complex expressions.

Just as Xue An said, she actually had never killed anyone.

This wasn’t particularly strange, but given her level and status, it was certainly something to ponder.

After all, cultivating is all about defying heaven and competing with others; it’s rare to have a smooth journey without encountering issues that force you to take action.

But Yang Mufeng was a rare exception.

Because her hands truly had never been stained with blood,

Others might not see this, but Xue An knew at a glance, which is why he said what he did.

However, soon, Yang Mufeng’s face turned to one of shame and anger.

"You...you’re just a coward!"

Xue An’s gaze grew slightly cold, but the smile on his face remained, only now tinged with a heavy sense of mockery.

"Better than showing off in front of a child!"

"You..." Yang Mufeng became even more enraged.

She really never encountered such a rogue person before.

Looks like he’s sure she wouldn’t dare to kill.

"No need to make that kind of face!" Xue An was quite composed.

"I know you reached this level without a stain because of powerful backing, but your mistake is bringing such arrogance in front of me!"

Yang Mufeng wanted to retort about where her arrogance came from.

But Xue An didn’t give her the chance.

"No need to explain, it was revealed the moment you impulsively came to the Wu Family and tied up the Family Head waiting for my return!"

At this, a mocking smile appeared on Xue An’s lips.

"Do you find this amusing, thinking it shows your character? That even if you lose to me, there will be someone to clean up the mess?"

Yang Mufeng was driven pale by Xue An’s words.

She even began doubting herself.

Is that really what she thought?

At that moment, a constantly rotating Metal Cube appeared at Xue An’s brow.

"Didn’t you want a duel with me? I’ll give you the chance, but first, you have to solve this!"

As he finished speaking, the Metal Cube appeared in front of Yang Mufeng.

Initially, Yang Mufeng didn’t pay much mind, even feeling a hint of disdain.

This guy really underestimated people, thinking to test her with a Metal Cube?

Didn’t he know she grew out of such tricks by the age of three?

Undeniably, Yang Mufeng indeed had a high talent in the field of mechanics.

She had been dealing with machinery since she could barely walk, and her achievements in the field vastly improved with age.

That’s why she could become the logistics chief and R&D director of the Firearms Society at such a young age.

But as she truly delved into the Metal Cube, her original slight disdain instantly vanished.

Because this Cube was apparently different from what she had imagined.

It seemed to hold much more within.

Shush!

The Metal Cube began spinning rapidly in mid-air in an almost dazzling manner.

Such an extremely complex cube was impossible to manipulate with the hand; it required using mental Divine Sense.

The further she sought to decipher it, the more solemn Yang Mufeng’s expression became, with a subtle excitement glinting in her eyes.

Interesting!

The design idea of this thing is very interesting!

No, this involves not just mechanics but seems to have traces of ancient Alchemy.

As a genius deeply immersed in the mechanical field, Yang Mufeng naturally knew about Alchemy and had studied it quite a bit.

But the more it was so, the more shocked she became.

The concepts involved in this were ones she had never encountered before.

This made her feel even more awed.

Who was the genius behind this Cube?

Was it this man before her?

But soon those thoughts were thrown to the winds.

Because she was utterly captivated by the endless novel concepts emerging from this Metal Cube.

At the same time, Shu Jingchu, Wu Shaobei, and others also arrived.

On their way back to the Wu Family, they encountered people heading to Senluo Valley to report the unfolding situation.

Thus, they all knew what had happened to the Wu Family.

Xue An had them follow and he returned to the Wu Family on his own first.

However, the time difference wasn’t much.

So, it wasn’t long before Wu Shaobei and others hurriedly arrived.

They expected a bloodbath, even ready for the complete downfall of the Wu Family’s main house.

But when they arrived, they found nothing much had changed.

Aside from the vigilant crowd in the air, not a drop of blood could be seen on the ground.

"This... Mr. Xue, what happened?" Wu Shaobei landed with a dazed look, asking Xue An who was untying Wu Nianyin’s ropes.

Xue An broke the incredibly tough metal ropes, his tone indifferent as he said, "Nothing much, just a clueless crazy girl!"

Wu Nianyin stretched his blood-stiffened limbs, immediately thanking Xue An, "Mr. Xue, I..."

Xue An waved his hand, "No need to thank me. In a sense, you’ve helped me, so naturally, I couldn’t ignore it!"

"Oh, this girl is proving her way through mechanics?" Nearby, Nezha suddenly said in surprise.

"Senior also knows mechanics?" Xue An smiled.

"Don’t take me for an out-of-touch relic, I’ve dealt with it before!" Nezha pouted.

"But is that Mechanical Cube she is working on your creation?"

Xue An nodded, "Just a toy made out of boredom!"

Nezha gave Xue An a long look, "Didn’t see you had such alchemical prowess!"

"Just happened to learn a bit, but handling this one isn’t an issue!" Xue An appeared very nonchalant.

At this point, Yang Mufeng wobbled slightly, her face becoming somewhat pale.

But her eyes grew brighter.

"Xue An, you are impressive. This thing isn’t something I can solve immediately, I need to go back!"

"Suit yourself!"

"Once I solve it, I’ll come back to settle with you!" Yang Mufeng gritted her teeth.

Xue An smiled lightly, "Solve it first."
