Chapter 378 – I’m Not Tasty, Right ?
TL : GoldenLung
“Humph!” Only then did Le Qingling snort with satisfaction and hung up the communication.
Rubbing his pained ears, Tang Le felt very helpless.
Starting from the third day, Le Qingling had been calling him from several soul communicators every day. He didn’t answer at the beginning, but then Le Qingling started bombarding him with information, sending him all kinds of threats to urge to go back as soon as possible.
Currently, Le Qingling was sitting in her room sulking.
This guy had finally agreed to come back. Two weeks! He had left for two whole weeks.
For some reason, she had suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart. There were too many things he could do within two weeks. What could make a man disappear for two weeks, and who had a lot of work left to do ?
Could it be that he found someone he liked ? He stayed with that person ? Was that why he ignored her ? Although Mr. Le would occasionally be unreliable, but something like this time, disappearing for two weeks at once was unprecedented. One had to know, although he had held a concert recently, there were still many activities to do, especially shooting sessions for several major advertisers.
If it weren’t for the current Mr. Le being extremely popular and thus the advertisers didn’t dare to offend him, otherwise that would have been fined very heavily already.
Now, Tang Le had agreed to come back, but Le Qingling was not happy at all. She was very worried about what Mr. Le was doing during the past two weeks.

Lan Xuanyu almost trotted all the way to the Blacksmith Association. As soon as he entered the door, he ran into Yang Yingming, who hadn’t seen him for a few days.
“Hey junior brother. How is your self-study going.” Yang Yingming asked with a smile.
He had looked at the attendance sheet. Recently, Lan Xuanyu had come to the Blacksmith Association every day, which meant that this little junior brother was completely ready to embrace forging. However, he had only been doing self-study, how much progress could he make like this ? At most, it meant being familiar with some forging knowledge. One had to know, forging had many different kinds of technique, and weren’t recorded. Someone had to give pointers and then keep trying on your own to progress by leaps and bounds.
He felt that Lan Xuanyu should have accumulated a lot of questions over the two weeks, and it was time to contact him for his lessons.
“It’s going alright, senior, I’ll go in.” As he said, Lan Xuanyu hurriedly sped up and ran straight to his forging room.
The least popular auxiliary profession among Shrek Academy students was forging, although it was very important. Therefore, the Blacksmith Association had lots of forging rooms for these students. So Lan Xuanyu’s forging room was exclusive to him.
Shrek was not entirely dead set on wanting money, for example, the forging room was free for students to use. If this was changed to another place, there were not many academies with forging rooms of this quality. It was not a matter of money, but a question of whether one had the ability to get them.
Yang Yingming saw Lan Xuanyu jogging away all the way and couldn’t help being a little stunned. Why was he in a hurry? He hadn’t asked him yet how his learning was going. And looking at his appearance, he didn’t seem to want to learn from him at all ! Could it be that he had found someone else ? However, there was no recording of that!
What a stingy little guy. However, one couldn’t be stingy when it comes to learning, as he would not be able to progress. He’ll have to remind him once more later on. Or was it because his offer was too expensive and that he should lower his price?
Lan Xuanyu didn’t know what Yang Yingming was thinking about, at this time he had already rushed into his forging room.
He closed the door and exhaled, and as he was trying to calm himself down, he suddenly found a piece of paper left on the forging table.
He picked it up subconsciously and read what was written, “Xuanyu, I have to leave first because of work. I have been very happy to be with you for these past two weeks. You are a very smart child and very talented in forging. Just follow the instructions I taught you and continue to practice. Don’t rush to practice with rare metals, train well in the basics that I taught you. Whenever you’ve become able to swing 36 consecutives strikes using the hammer technique leisurely, you can try to forge with rare metals. The piece of refined iron I forged previously is for you. When you make a battle armor in the future, it can be used as a part of the breastplate. I will see you again when I have time later. ——Looking forward to our next meeting, Tang Le. “
“Uncle Le!” Lan Xuanyu blurted out without thinking.
However, there was no response this time.
Tang Le was gone? He had left so soon and so suddenly. He didn’t even meet him for the last time, leaving just a note.
Suddenly, a huge sense of loss emerged spontaneously, and Lan Xuanyu plopped down on the forging counter, suddenly losing the mood for forging. Holding the paper in his hand, his heart was filled with reluctance.

Eternal Sky City.
“Gone.”
“He’s gone?”
“Yes.”
“He didn’t say anything, right. It seems that he’s come here specifically for that child. I don’t know what kind of relationship he has with that child. Maybe this is fate.”
“The Eternal Tree’s will must be followed, let’s keep it secret. He has become a singer for quite a few years. According to our investigation, there has never been any problem. The Eternal Tree knows what it’s doing. Perhaps, he will come again in the future.”
“Well, that’s it. Pay more attention to that kid too.”
“Yes.”

Night fell.
Le Qingling stood on the large terrace and was staring into the distance. This was a skyscraper, and they were living on the top floor. The top two floors added up to more than 1,500 square meters, including an open-air swimming pool on the top floor, all owned by them.
With a total height of 162 stories, this building was one of the best luxury apartments in Mingdu.
This was bought by Le Qingling for Tang Le, and the real estate registration was also under Tang Le’s name.
Over the years, Tang Le’s income had risen along with his influence, but he had never managed money himself, and all his income was controlled by Le Qingling.
Except for a part of it put aside by Le Qingling for him, most of the money had been invested into various value-preserving and increasing assets. Only she knew how much Mr. Le had now.
In a city such as Mingdu, where the federal government was located, the value of real estate had always been very stable. This house alone was worth more than 50 million federal coins. And its value was steadily increasing every year.
Yue Qingling asked herself, was she absolutely worthy of Tang Le’s trust? Over the years, she didn’t take much of Tang Le’s money except for her manager’s salary, and she did her best to help him in investing and sorting out his assets. And she found out that she liked doing these things very much, and often checking Tang Le’s list of assets was already one of her happiest moments. Perhaps this was the so-called mentality of a landlord’s wife.
However, this time Tang Le had left for two whole weeks! She definitely wasn’t in the mood to count those assets.
This guy, is he really seeing someone outside? If that’s the case, isn’t everything she’s doing for someone else? When the time comes and that she has to hand it over to someone else, would she feel uncomfortable?
No, she won’t feel uncomfortable. Only in pain ! Oh, her heart would hurt so, so much.
As Le Qingling thought of this, she fell on the sofa and rolled, and muttered to herself: “Tang Le, you’re a scoundrel, a bastard, a pig’s hoof, all men are pig’s hooves.”
“I’m not tasty, right ?” Tang Le said somewhat helplessly.
Le Qingling suddenly bounced up as if electrocuted. Since God knows when, Tang Le was already sitting on the sofa next to hers, looking at her helplessly.
