Not only Master Yang, but now everyone else also realized that the rusty sword in Qin Chen's hand must be a powerful treasured weapon; otherwise, it wouldn't have easily broken the treasured weapon crafted by Master Leng Mo.
It was laughable that they couldn't see it before and thought Qin Chen had been mistaken, gambling on a piece of trash.
"Who would have thought that Qin Chen had such insight in weapon crafting? No wonder Master Liang Yu from the Artifact Hall was so attentive to him during the year-end examination not long ago."
"Indeed, could it be that this kid is a disciple of Master Liang Yu? Otherwise, how could he have such understanding at such a young age?"
"Disciple of Master Liang Yu? Impossible, though Master Liang Yu is a genius in the Artifact Hall, he has just recently broken through to a second-tier weapon craftsman. His crafting skills are probably still inferior to Master Leng Mo, so how could Qin Chen be his disciple?"
"That's true!"
Those who participated in the year-end examination and knew the relationship between Qin Chen and Master Liang Yu spoke one after another.
"What? Are you saying that Qin Chen from earlier is the same Qin Chen who excelled in the year-end examination at the Tianxing Academy?"
Upon hearing the others' words, Leng Mo, who had been standing there stunned, suddenly jumped up, shouting with a face full of shock.
He was shaking like a leaf, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Indeed, Master Leng Mo, didn't you know?"
Someone asked in confusion.
"It's him, it really is him. No wonder I felt the name Qin Chen sounded so familiar earlier; it turns out it's him!"
Leng Mo displayed a look of regret and shouted to the sky, "I'm just an animal!"
He dashed downstairs quickly, but could no longer find any trace of Qin Chen.
"Damn it, I'm an idiot, I'm truly an idiot!"
Returning to the Treasure Building, Leng Mo muttered to himself, his face full of self-blame.
He was well aware of Liang Yu's accomplishments as they were both second-tier weapon craftsmen in the Artifact Hall.
Liang Yu was famous only because he broke through to a second-tier craftsman in his thirties, being the first genius in the Artifact Hall with boundless potential.
In terms of actual crafting skills, Liang Yu, who had just recently broken through, was far inferior compared to him, an established craftsman who had been in the second-tier realm for over a decade.
However, during a recent exchange with Liang Yu, he discovered that Liang Yu's crafting skills were unexpectedly on par with, or even slightly superior to his.
This left him greatly astonished and puzzled.
Later, after some investigations, he discovered that Liang Yu's rapid improvement was entirely due to a crafting session with Qin Chen from the Dingwu Royal Mansion not long ago. After that, Liang Yu's crafting skills seemed to have transformed completely.
Coupling this with the information he gathered about Liang Yu's performance at the Tianxing Academy year-end examination, where Liang Yu stood up for Qin Chen, Leng Mo became even more suspicious.
Today, seeing Qin Chen's crafting skills made him fully realize that Liang Yu's breakthrough was entirely because of Qin Chen.
"I'm just an animal. If I had known this person was Qin Chen, how could I have offended him..."
Leng Mo nearly wanted to bash his head in out of regret.
Now it was all ruined. He originally wanted to establish a connection with the other party, but everything was destroyed.
"Yang Yan, if it weren't for you, how could I have offended Young Master Chen? And you little brats, wait for the old man; I'm so furious."
His hair stood on end, and Leng Mo wished he could kill Lian Peng and the others with a single strike, his heart filled with hatred towards Yang Yan.
If they hadn't fanned the flames when he arrived, he wouldn't have acted on impulse and offended Young Master Chen without figuring out who he truly was.
Thinking of this, Leng Mo felt like crying but had no tears, angrily waving his sleeve as he left.
Seeing the drastic change in Leng Mo's attitude, everyone was dumbfounded.
