Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Qin Mingyue walked ahead alone. Lu Fengjin wanted to go over, but was stopped and persuaded to stay by the people from the manufacturing plant.

Such a cautious and careful demeanor made Chu Yueli realize that what Qin Mingyue was holding was a thunderbolt.

They wanted to test the power of the thunderbolt.

Sure enough, Qin Mingyue stopped after walking to an open space.

Lu Fengjin, who was following her at a distance, also stopped, and the others dared not approach.

Qin Mingyue raised her hand.

The people behind her instinctively took two steps back, distancing themselves from her.

Qin Mingyue suddenly raised her hand and threw the thunderbolt, which quickly crashed into the mountainside in front of her.

With a loud bang, the thunderclap exploded in the stone forest on the mountainside, instantly sending sand and stones flying and splashing everywhere.

Jing Lei couldn't help but secretly break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, they hid in a different mountainside stone forest. If Qin Mingyue had chosen this area as a testing ground, they would have been exposed.

He glanced back at Chu Yueli and saw her frowning, staring at the spot where the thunderbolt had exploded, deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.

Jing Lei swallowed back what he wanted to say and, together with Chu Yueli, focused on looking into the distance.

After Qin Mingyue finished her experiment, she returned to Lu Fengjin's side. The two talked about something, but they didn't seem very happy.

They went back into the manufacturing plant.

There were four guards at the entrance of the manufacturing plant. Jing Lei could tell at a glance that they were imperial guards disguised as civilians, and all of them were highly skilled.

This posture clearly shows that he has undergone special training; his steps and physique are extremely rigorous.

After they went inside, Jing Lei approached Chu Yue Li and whispered, "Your Highness, what are you thinking about? Is there something wrong with the experiment just now?"

"Indeed, something's not right."

Chu Yueli wanted to go over and take a look, but Jing Lei was startled and gently tugged at her sleeve: "Your Highness, it's dangerous."

The place where the thunderclap exploded is now a mess. Jing Lei is still not familiar with thunderclap bombs and doesn't know if it will suddenly explode again.

Chu Yueli shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

She insisted on going to see it, and Jing Lei had no choice but to go ahead of her and risk his life.

The people from the manufacturing plant had all gone far away, and there was no one guarding this area. Chu Yueli and Jing Lei went over without being stopped.

Chu Yueli stared at the spot where the thunderbolt had exploded for a long time before saying, "The range and power are not enough... She hasn't fully mastered the method of making thunderbolts yet. It seems they will continue to research and improve the formula."

Not long after, more people came out from the manufacturing plant; it was Lu Fengjin and Qin Mingyue.

They're leaving.

Chu Yueli looked at Jing Lei and said, "I'll go with them and take a look. After they leave, go inside and walk around for a bit, then come back and draw me a map."

"No!" How could Jing Lei be willing to be separated from her? He had said he would protect the princess.

“With Lu Fengjin’s internal strength, it would be easy for you to be discovered if you followed behind him.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Lei blushed immediately: "Your Highness, my... lightness skill is not bad."

“I’m not looking down on you, but I’m more familiar with Lu Fengjin. With your lightness skill, you can only follow from a distance. But I want to hear what they have to say.”

Lu Fengjin was clearly somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Mingyue. She didn't know what Qin Mingyue had done to make Lu Fengjin angry.

Not necessarily, it's just a matter of the blasting shells not being powerful enough.
