Chapter 31: Flying Dagger
After that figure left the backyard, it moved towards the Qiaochu Wing. It entered a room and with the reflection of the torch, the face that appeared was Ye Lingyue's.
What was Ye Lingyue doing at the courtyard in the middle of the night?
Ye Lingyue carefully took out the thing she found earlier.
It was a dagger about the width of two fingers and the length of three inches. Its two edges were as thin as paper, and with a soft knock, it buzzed like a nest of bees.
"What a good thing. The Song family is generous. This is a dark iron dagger with 60% purity." The thing that Ye Lingyue went to search for in the courtyard in the middle of the night was the 'gift' that almost killed Ye Gu during the day.
Ye Gu was still angry while the other Ye family members couldn't tell the specialness of this 'gift.' Ye Lingyue was the only one who noticed that it wasn't a normal dagger.
First, it was a dark iron dagger with 60% purity.
Extracting a dark iron ore of 60% purity was something that the current Ye family couldn't do, not to mention making it into a dagger.
Everyone that came in contact with dark iron knew that extracting a pure dark iron was difficult. It was even harder to make weapons out of it! From what the workers from the quarry said, no one in Autumn Maple town had such strong skills. Only those people in the county city could make a dark iron into a weapon.
However, this was not what Ye Lingyue was most concerned about. Instead, she was most concerned about the last bit of psyche lingering on the dagger.
If Ye Lingyue didn't use her psyche earlier on that day to make the dagger turn a different angle in the last second, Ye Gu would have died on-the-spot.
