I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 423 How could you see this?

Although she felt like she was being targeted by a persistent salesperson, Feng Xue didn't have any particular goal in mind. Seeing that Tao Qing didn't seem to mind, she followed her.

Meanwhile, Deng She of the Mo family led the two men around a military platform after a few turns, and finally they saw their stall. Luckily, there were people coming and going on the street, otherwise Feng Xue would have suspected that this guy was planning to lure them into some remote corner to rob them or something.

"Hiss... How did you manage to bring this thing into Xianyang? Is there some secret channel involved?"

Just as Feng Xue was still trying to figure out what was on the display stand, Tao Qing suddenly gasped. Upon hearing this, Feng Xue immediately perked up her ears, waiting for what would follow.

“Brother, that’s going too far! We came in through the main gate with impeccable manners!” Before Deng She could speak, a Mo family disciple dressed in plain clothes stepped forward from beside the stall and righteously corrected him. Tao Qing, however, rolled her eyes and said:
"We're all workers, do you think I don't know what kind of stuff can pass censorship? If you're going to argue with me, I'll call the authorities against the National Security Bureau right now!"

"Don't make a sound! Don't make a sound!" Seeing that Tao Qing had truly seen through the deception, the Mo family disciple panicked and hurriedly waved his hands while whispering:
"It's just a small gadget, something that could be checked or not. It had already passed inspection, but if you call for it, it will definitely be inspected using the strictest methods!"

"Heh!" Tao Qing curled his lip, giving off a "you think you can fool me?" vibe. However, being a seasoned professional, he quickly noticed that Feng Xue didn't seem to know much about this, and immediately explained:

"Brother Feng, don't let its shabby appearance fool you. It's powered by a 'black cube,' albeit a small one. If it explodes, it could blow up half a street..."

Upon hearing Tao Qing's words, before the Mo craftsman could say anything, Deng She, a member of the Mohist school of debate, became agitated and immediately retorted, "What are you saying! What nonsense are you spouting! How could our Mohist artifacts be so easily destroyed?"

"Your ancestral home is Tianjin, right?" Feng Xue thought to herself, but she took a closer look at the little thing. According to Tao Qing, the Mo Fang should be an energy system or an engine or something like that.
Thinking of this, Feng Xue immediately said:

"Little bell, scan me!"

"I know Master!"

Little Bell immediately obeyed the order and began contacting nearby nanounits. Just then, the quiet young ink craftsman, who had only argued briefly when accused of using contraband, suddenly brightened up and darted forward, almost catching Feng Xue off guard.

Fortunately, Liu Yunxi reacted quickly, maneuvering her wheelchair slightly backward, thus avoiding the young ink-craftsman's "surprise attack." The young man, realizing his lapse in composure, immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Brother, I am Meng Zhen from the Mo Gong San Biao School. I was just intrigued by your mustard seed mechanism. Please don't take offense."

"What? A mustard seed mechanism? Brother Feng, you have such a good thing?" As if she had heard something outrageous, Tao Qing, who was still arguing with Deng She, turned her head at an angle that was almost like twisting her neck, which startled Feng Xue.

However, these nanounits are quite sensitive, so he immediately shook his head and said:
"What mustard seed mechanism? I have no idea!"

As he spoke, he moved two parking spaces back, not to avoid them, but to use the airflow to give Little Bell and Fina a chance to mimic the nanounits.

Tao Qing's expression turned strange upon hearing this. A silvery-gray aura, visible through the Qi Observation Technique, emanated from him. Amidst the commotion, he shook his head and said:
"No way! You must be mistaken. My brother Feng is from the Yin-Yang School, how could he possibly have something like a mustard seed mechanism?"

"But I clearly saw a surge of life force in front of Brother Feng just now. It wasn't human life force, it must be a man-made spirit! There are no other creations here, so it can only be a mustard seed mechanism!"

Meng Zhen was clearly a very serious person, completely lacking in emotional intelligence. Feng Xue sighed inwardly, but hearing what he said, she had an idea and immediately spread her hands, saying:

"If it's a sign of life... is this what Brother Meng is seeing?" As he spoke, Feng Xue clasped his hands together, and the words above his head quickly switched. The next moment, with a surge of magical power, a cute little bat "hatched" in his palm.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?" Tao Qing's mouth dropped open when she saw Feng Xuelu's move, and Meng Zhen, who had been chattering away, was also speechless for a moment. Only her eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets.

"This is the method of 'manipulating creation.' You must know that all things in heaven and earth are subject to the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. By grasping the rotation of the Five Elements and the transformation of Yin and Yang, one can create things out of thin air and turn stone into gold. However, my cultivation is still shallow, and what I create is ultimately a fake."

With a casual pinch, the squeaking little bat vanished into thin air, turning back into magic. Tao Qing, Meng Zhen, Deng She, and the others were dumbfounded.

In fact, Feng Xue was quite worried that the magic she got from Bigeley might become commonplace in this world. Fortunately, judging from Tao Qing's expression, it should still be competitive.

"Brother Feng, you're too modest!" Tao Qing's gaze towards Feng Xue had completely changed at this moment. He originally sought to partner with Feng Xue mainly because he saw that Feng Xue was wealthy. After all, a businessman needs to find some investors, right?

Although it wasn't as clear as directly observing the manifestation of willpower, Feng Xue also noticed the subtle change in Tao Qing's tone. Originally, although he spoke very politely, it was like a senior leading a junior, carrying a bit of a senior's feeling.

However, Meng Zhen was different. After a brief moment of confusion, he suddenly shouted loudly as if he were going crazy:

"This is it! This is it! This is exactly what's missing!"

As he spoke, he began to gesticulate wildly, as if possessed. After a long while, it seemed he had finally gathered his thoughts, and he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Brother Feng! Big Brother Feng! You absolutely have to help! Whether we can win the Casting Award this year depends on you!"

"What the hell?" Feng Xue, with her small, scrawny physique, was unable to break free from Meng Zhen's grip on her hands and could only turn her head to look at Tao Qing.

Seeing this, Deng She quickly stepped forward to help pry Meng Zhen apart, and then apologized:

"I'm so sorry, this guy just gets like this when he gets carried away. We were wrong this time, and we will definitely come to apologize in person later!"

"No..." Feng Xue turned to look at Tao Qing, only to find that Tao Qing was looking at her with a thoughtful expression. Feeling a little uneasy, she brazenly prepared herself to have the scheming woman carry her, the wheelchair, and Liu Yunxi away, while nervously asking:

"Brother Tao, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ah!" Tao Qing suddenly slapped her hand, a look of realization on her face, then shook her head and said:

"It's a pity, our group's project for this year has already been finalized, otherwise I really wanted to bring you over! Don't worry about this guy, the Mo family may be a bit eccentric, but they still follow the rules. They won't force you to join the group if you don't want to..."

"So what exactly is the reason?!"
