As expected, Gu Fenglin substituted for the class on Monday.

As soon as he entered the classroom, a series of quiet gasps and exclamations rippled through the room.

"Hello everyone, Ms. Xu is busy, so I will be teaching for you for the time being," Gu Fenglin said gently, standing upright in front of the desk.

The students' eyes lit up when they heard this.

Gu Fenglin comes from a top-tier forging family and is a rare forging genius. He is also gentle and approachable. With his guidance, one will surely gain something.

"Let's start with the theoretical knowledge. Everyone, turn to page 100." Gu Fenglin picked up the book, his slender fingers turning the pages one by one, glancing at Chu Yun casually.

I noticed she was engrossed in reading a book.

I couldn't help but chuckle; she really was completely focused on her studies.

Gu Fenglin was certainly capable, explaining the knowledge in the books very thoroughly.

His voice is gentle and his pronunciation is clear. He can often get to the point in just a few words. Listening to his lectures is undoubtedly a pleasure.

After theory comes practice.

Everyone went to the forging room and sat in their respective seats.

Chu Yun arrived late and sat in the last row, where the seats that her classmates had left were the ones that were left over.

Chu Yun was the only one in this row, but she didn't feel lonely at all. On the contrary, she was very happy. The quiet place was more conducive to her forging magical artifacts.

The main task of this practical lesson is to solidify the second step in forging ritual implements—shaping and carving.

The classroom task is to complete the shaping of the storage bracelet.

These students have been enrolled for more than half a year, so the things they need to carve are naturally not simple.

The storage bracelet is small in size and of medium carving difficulty, making it perfect for them.

Chu Yun stared at the mithril in front of her, her heart filled with surprise.

Mithril is much more expensive than meteorite iron. It has a higher density and is more durable, but it is also more difficult to carve. This is the first time she has used mithril to carve a magical artifact.

The students were just as surprised as Chu Yun.

It's not that they can't afford mithril, it's just that using mithril for training is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—it's such a waste!

“You’ve all been enrolled for a while now, and simple sculpting shouldn’t be difficult for you, so I’ve started with the materials to make the course a little more challenging.”

"Don't feel burdened, everyone. You are students of Imperial University and rare talents in magical artifacts for the Empire. You will definitely come into contact with mithril in the future, so it's not a bad thing to come into contact with it in advance."

"And I believe you will not let me down and will definitely be able to make the most of mithril."

"Even if it really breaks, it's not a big deal. A few pieces of mithril, my Gu family can afford it."

Gu Fenglin stood in the center of the forging room and raised his voice slightly.

All eyes were on Gu Fenglin.

His few words once again made the students in the forging workshop's eyes light up.

Chu Yun's eyelids droop slightly.

Gu Fenglin certainly has good methods!

The status of imperial artifact blacksmiths is extraordinary, and all the students in this room are top-notch talents.

His words not only inspired the students and won their favor, but also demonstrated the Gu family's substantial financial resources and their appreciation for talent.

It's easy to imagine that after graduation, if given a choice, most of these students would choose to dedicate themselves to caring for their families.

They're already trying to win people over!

Moreover, the methods are gentle and silent, and not at all annoying.

Gu Fenglin is truly not to be underestimated.

"Alright, everyone, let's begin. If you have any questions during the forging process, feel free to ask me." Gu Fenglin said no more and gestured for everyone to begin.

Chu Yun withdrew her gaze and focused intently on preparing to carve.

She picked up the hammer on the table and immediately sensed something was wrong.

The hammers provided to students in the school's forge were made of mithril and weighed five pounds.

But the hammer in her hand was very light; Chu Yun estimated it weighed only two pounds.

Let's take a look at the exterior.

Although it is also silver, its surface has a subtle red fluorescence, making it look more noble than plain silver. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell the difference.

This hammer is clearly made of a crystal that is even more precious than mithril!

Other tools, such as carving knives and tweezers, are also made of crystal.

Crystals are rare minerals in the empire, and ordinary people may never even have seen them.

This tool set is made entirely of crystal, and its value is immeasurable.

Chu Yun noticed a piece of paper covering the tool tray and gently picked it up.

Several words suddenly came into view.

"Good things go well with good people; I hope this toolkit can help you." — Gu Fenglin

Chu Yun suddenly felt the paper in her hand was hot, so she quickly folded it in half and held it in her palm.

He glanced around, as if trying to cover something up.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that no one was watching her.

His gaze fell on the front of the podium.

A group of people surrounded Gu Fenglin, encircling him in three layers.

If he weren't so tall, Chu Yun wouldn't have been able to see his face clearly.

Surrounded by so many people, Gu Fenglin showed no impatience whatsoever, and a smile remained on his face.

They were quite far apart, and Chu Yun couldn't hear what they were saying, nor did she care what they were saying.

The note in her hand felt like a hot potato, leaving her feeling bewildered.

As if sensing something, Gu Fenglin raised his head and met Chu Yun's gaze.

His expression remained as gentle and serene as ever.

He nodded slightly to Chu Yun, then lowered his head to carefully explain to the classmate next to him.

Chu Yun's heart was no longer at peace.

Like a pool of spring water suddenly rippling.

Why did Gu Fenglin do this?

Chu Yun put away the note and pondered over the tools on the table.

Even after racking her brains, she couldn't figure it out, and a rare look of worry appeared on Chu Yun's face.

Pick up the tools and force yourself to carve mithril.

Seeing this from a distance, Gu Fenglin slightly curled the corners of his lips.

Can't figure it out? No matter how smart and insightful you are, you're still inexperienced in the ways of the world.

Two days ago, Chu Yun disturbed his mind, and Gu Fenglin, unusually, felt a competitive spirit.

He managed to turn the tables today, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Chu Yun took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

Ultimately, her studies were more important, so Chu Yun could only use the tools Gu Fenglin had given her to begin forging magical artifacts.

This tool set is truly remarkable. Not only is it easier to use, but it is also lightweight, saving a lot of effort.

Chu Yun had always excelled in carving, and with such excellent tools, she felt as if she had divine assistance.

Once the shape is sculpted, it's time to carve the design.

For some reason, Chu Yun's mind drifted to the wolf head necklace that Han Cheng'an had been wearing last night.

With a sudden inspiration, his hands gradually sculpted the shape—and it was clearly a wolf's head.

Chu Yun didn't see Han Cheng'an's wolf very clearly; she simply sculpted it based on the wolf she had seen in a book.

Because it's a bracelet, carving it is a very delicate process.

Chu Yun was completely focused, all her attention concentrated on the bracelet in front of her.

They didn't even notice a figure quietly appearing behind them.

Gu Fenglin stood there, quietly watching Chu Yun busy herself.

A gentle breeze brushed her cheek, lifting the stray hairs from her forehead.

She sat very upright, with a graceful posture. Her hair was all tied up, revealing her slender and long neck, making her look like a noble and beautiful white swan.

Gu Fenglin is a perfectionist who views everything with an extremely critical eye.

There's practically nothing that catches his eye.

But now, he felt that Chu Yun could be described as perfect.

He is a perfect match for her.
