Chapter 907: 897 Weapon (11) Fourth Watch

He only saw the other person’s pitch-black hair in front of his eyes.

Then there was the sound of "whooshing" broken stones falling beside his ear.

And the sound of fabric tearing.

Ye Shaohua was closer to the cliff. She had one hand grabbing Shen Jiran and the other trying to grasp a rock, but the rock rolled down with her.

Shen Jiran, initially suspended in mid-air, finally reacted after Ye Shaohua made contact with the cliff wall. Both of them rolled over the rugged rocks, and with a light touch of his toes, Shen Jiran easily brought them both back to the top of the cliff.

At the same time, the nurse and some still-panicked servants rushed over.

Seeing the two of them climb up, the nurse collapsed onto the ground with a white face, "You... you scared me to death!"

"Nurse, I’m fine." Ye Shaohua felt somewhat apologetic towards Ye Shaohua deep down, this whole incident was her own design.

She reached out to help the nurse up.

The maidservants and the family’s guards also came over to ask if the two were all right.

Shen Jiran didn’t respond, nor did he react, but instead just looked at Ye Shaohua in shock, unable to say anything, "You, you don’t practice martial arts, so why did you come to save me?"

"I didn’t think that much. The situation was so dangerous, and you accompanied me up the mountain. If something had happened, how could I have faced Uncle and saved Mother? When Mother and I were outside before, she often spoke of you. The jade pendant hanging around your neck was given by her, right..." At this point, Ye Shaohua stopped talking and just smiled, shaking her hand, "You’re my cousin, it’s right for me to save you."

"The two of you Ye were too careless," the nurse finally came to her senses, noticing the blood seeping from Shaohua’s left arm, her complexion changed drastically, "Lady, let the nurse take a look at your arm, what happened to it!"

Shen Jiran didn’t know what expression to use. He looked at the blood flowing down from the woman in front of him, dripping from her fingertips.

A smile still hung on her face, as if she was not the one who was hurt.

At that moment, everyone knew that saving him was almost the same as sacrificing their own life, yet she hadn’t thought twice and just pounced over.

Shen Jiran’s mouth opened silently. When she risked her life to save him, what he had in mind was to take her life!

He admittedly felt only slightly better towards Ye Shaohua than towards a stranger; he had never regarded her as a cousin.

Just like the Ye Family’s old butler, in his heart, there was only Ye Yanyu.

So there were other injuries too?

Shen Jiran was genuinely surprised for the first time to learn that a person who forged weapons could also suffer burns.

He opened his mouth, "If it’s so dangerous, why do you still learn from your uncle? Yanyu wants to learn too. Why do you not let her learn, and why not let her follow your parents?"

"If one could choose, which young lady would wish to have such burns on her body?" The nurse couldn’t continue.

Shen Jiran, of course, knew what this meant for a woman; with such severe burns, even if the Ye Family were still at their peak, Ye Shaohua wouldn’t be able to find a good match.

Seeing the medicine applied, Shaohua couldn’t help but touch the scar on her arm that could be considered unsightly.

Recalling the life that the original owner never shared with anyone, she slowly spoke, "The ancestral craft of the Ye Family is brutal to master. Every Ye male child starts working with iron and forging at the age of seven, and the heir is chosen from among them. Successors for generations have all been male, but in our generation, the Ye only had my sister and me."

"Due to reasons of physical strength, aside from forging, girls also have to train their arm strength. At seven, I really didn’t want to learn. I was envious of my sister who could wear beautiful clothes every day, play with other sisters, and catch butterflies. After getting hurt, I didn’t want to learn anymore, but my father refused. I asked him why my sister didn’t need to learn this, and he locked me up for seven days. After I came out, my father took me to see my sister. That was when she passed out - she was only five years old. Then I found out she couldn’t learn; she couldn’t even be too close to the furnace. That’s when I accepted it."

"In order to get me to complete the learning faster, father took me everywhere, teaching me how to find ore, how to hammer out impurities, and how to craft a divine weapon... Along the way, we faced countless risks. Once during a heavy rain, a mountain landslide almost buried us there."

Ye Shaohua’s voice was very calm, yet it thundered in Shen Jiran’s ears.
