Beside him, Lord Yan Qing also frowned, thinking about the method just now.

With his experience following the General, he really couldn't detect what method the method just now was.

Especially since he hadn't felt any power of the Path, it looked truly incredible.

When everyone was thinking this, Lin Mo focused his gaze on Cheng Cheng Jie's actions.

At this time, Cheng Cheng Jie was constantly flipping through one manuscript after another.

"This is a working principle of the light in the box. It seems that such weapons are related to a demon called the Heliobus. The design plan is Master Gongshu, no."

"This is a design of an Aurumaton. The unsigned craftsman insisted on aesthetics and angrily wrote on the design: 'Idiots don't understand anything at all, they only know how to say my Aurumaton is ugly'."

"This is, the design drawing of the starskiff, found it!"

Cheng Cheng Jie, who was constantly flipping through, suddenly picked up a manuscript excitedly: "It's this. The design plan mentioned a cultivation mode of light dragon bones. It's this."

"However, a part of the manuscript is destroyed."

The next second, Cheng Cheng Jie, who was surprised, looked at the manuscript with only half remaining and sighed: "Still thank the adult first."

Saying this, Cheng Cheng Jie expressed his gratitude to Lin Mo.

If it weren't for this person, he really wouldn't have been able to get this manuscript left by his mentor, although it was destroyed.

"Even the special box containing the manuscript is broken, so it is inevitable that the manuscripts inside are damaged."

Beside him, Hearing Qing Que looked at Cheng Cheng Jie who was sighing and shook her head: "And if it's damaged, you can just repair it."

Even the Artisanship Commission Rongjin Workshop was destroyed. It's not bad that these manuscripts could be left behind.

"No, it's different."

Cheng Cheng Jie shook his head: "I don't have the confidence to repair the teacher's manuscript. I feel that my repair of this manuscript is just painting a snake and adding feet, sigh."

Saying this, Cheng Cheng Jie sighed, and his mood became more and more low.

"Go to the starskiff side to see, find inspiration, and relax."

Lin Mo smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, I am also interested in starskiffs. If you repair this manuscript, you can show me this manuscript. If you have time in the future, help me design a starskiff."

Helping Cheng Cheng Jie find this starskiff design drawing is not just helping, but he is also interested in starskiffs.

Especially Cheng Cheng Jie's starskiff design drawing, which has very professional knowledge inside.

"Guest-sama is right."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Cheng Cheng Jie's eyes brightened slightly, and his originally low mood slowly recovered.

"So are we going to the Starskiff Haven now?"

Hearing Qing Que was eager to try: "Can continue to ride the starskiff and roam in the sky."

While speaking, Hearing Qing Que excitedly pulled Lin Mo and walked toward the starskiff.

A group of people soon took the starskiff and arrived at the Starskiff Haven.

"Even in the daytime, the starskiffs here are still like carp crossing the river."

Looking at the endless starskiffs in the sky, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

Before long, the Diyuan Diyuan Qiong Yu Realm Gate will close, and you won't be able to see these starskiffs.

"Starskiff is the scenery most familiar to all Xianzhou natives."

Beside him, Cheng Cheng Jie looked at the starskiffs in the sky and sighed: "Every day, riding it back and forth in the shipping lane, watching the buildings on both sides of the shipping lane retreat in a hurry, a hundred years like a day. Many Xianzhou natives are like me, never realizing the 'ingenuity and technical update of the starskiff', only caring about enjoying its convenience, and taking it as a matter of course."

"Good design is practical. The more practical it is, the harder it is to be noticed. The master often said so. He was obsessed with starskiffs all his life, hoping to make better starskiffs."

"I should have become a starskiff designer, but my qualifications were too poor. Before I could make a name for myself, the teacher passed away. Now I can't even repair his only manuscript."

"So, the manuscript is the only connection between you and your mentor."

Beside her, Hearing Qing Que nodded thoughtfully: "It can be seen that the relationship between you and your master is very good."

"No, it's that Teacher Ryan was too good to me unilaterally."

Cheng Cheng Jie shook his head: "My level really can't be called his apprentice. I lack talent and love to be lazy, but he never gave up on me."

"After Master Ryan passed away, facing the genius design he left behind, I only felt powerless and remorseful. I felt that I wasted my apprenticeship time and didn't know how to realize the master's final design."

"Sigh, the fate between our master and apprentice was only twenty years, which was too hurried."

Saying this, Cheng Cheng Jie sighed.

"So your master is not a local of the Xianzhou."

Hearing Cheng Cheng Jie's words, Hearing Qing Que nodded: "But twenty years is also a long time."

"Yes, but since I first met him, he has never left the Luo Fu, even more local than the locals."

Cheng Cheng Jie shook his head: "Before he died, he joked with me, saying that if it weren't for me, he would have gone to the Interastral Peace Corporation."

"Didn't you finish reading it just now?"

Lin Mo waved his hand, and an invitation letter flew out of the box containing the broken manuscript on the starskiff and landed in front of Cheng Cheng Jie: "Isn't this the job invitation letter for a designer from the Interastral Peace Corporation?"

"This."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Cheng Cheng Jie was stunned, subconsciously took the invitation letter, and quickly flipped through it.

When he saw the content inside, his eyes widened: "It really is my master's name. This date is the same day he accepted me as an apprentice twenty years ago."

"So your master chose you, stayed in the Artisanship Commission, and didn't go to the Interastral Peace Corporation."

Hearing Qing Que spread her hands: "You haven't told us the story between you and your master yet. I am interested in this. After all, we are still quite idle now."

Saying this, Hearing Qing Que narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Mo.

If possible, she really wants to play Celestial Diyuan Diyuan Qiong Yu with this person!

But thinking of the other party's Celestial Diyuan Diyuan Qiong Yu technique, Hearing Qing Que felt like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Until now, Hearing Qing Que couldn't figure out how someone could have such good luck.

"The story between me and my master?"

Hearing Hearing Qing Que's words, Cheng Cheng Jie was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I am not very good at telling stories. It might be very long."

"The Artisanship Commission never refuses students from outside the Xianzhou. They are full of vitality, full of ideas, and look forward to learning a skill on the Xianzhou. Teacher Ryan was such an outsider."

"It is said that he himself was a technician studying materials. After studying on the Luo Fu for a period of time, he was granted the status of a craftsman, which is proof of his studies in the Artisanship Commission."

"Generally speaking, such short-lived student international students will leave after learning their craft, either returning to their hometown or seeking another high position."

"Because they soon realized that their enthusiasm and talent were so thin and barren compared to the hundred-year experience of long-lived species. This is a chasm of time. Few short-lived species can cross it. Most short-lived species can only let out a sigh."

"Coupled with the atmosphere of long-lived craftsmen looking down on short-lived species, the arrogance in speech and behavior is sharper and more hurtful than the chasm of time. I think the master wanted to leave at first."

"The Xianzhou has always been cracking down on this atmosphere."

Beside him, Lord Yan Qing, who had been hearing this, frowned: "I didn't expect it to exist. It seems that I have to investigate it thoroughly."

Regarding this atmosphere, the Xianzhou has always had severe punishments.

I didn't expect that even so, it still exists.

"This atmosphere can never be extinguished."

Hearing Qing Que sighed: "The more you explicitly forbid it, the more they will be like this. This kind of looking down between long-lived species and short-lived species has not been a day or two."

Hearing Hearing Qing Que's words, Lord Yan Qing was silent.

"At that time, I was also struggling in the difficult struggle of changing."

At this time, Cheng Cheng Jie sighed: "I studied starskiff manufacturing, but I really didn't have any talent. Many teachers were advising me not to suffer, and I didn't even need to stay in the Artisanship Commission, change to a new environment."

"And when I was about to give up, for some reason, Teacher Ryan applied to the Artisanship Commission to accept me as an apprentice. When I was at the darkest moment of my life, he reached out and gave me the motivation to continue."

"No wonder."

Hearing this, Hearing Qing Que was enlightened: "Two people who wanted to leave, because of accidental encounters, stayed forever. So this is fate."

"So I have always felt that the master is my father in another life."

Cheng Cheng Jie took a deep breath: "I just need someone to tell me that they are willing to accept me as an apprentice, but he could have left as the chief designer of the Interastral Peace Corporation, but he stayed like this."

"Because he saw himself in you."

Lin Mo smiled faintly and said: "He experienced difficult years and saw you helpless, just like the short-lived him in the Artisanship Commission. This mood is different from sympathy."

"In his heart, helping you is like helping the past him. You are his apprentice, and also his most understanding friend."

"The adult is right."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Cheng Cheng Jie was silent, and it took a full while before he nodded gently: "At that time, I didn't think so much. I only remember that our master and apprentice, one willing to teach and one willing to learn. Looking back, these years have been full of happy memories, but time was really too fast."

"When I came back to my senses, the master's head was already gray. On a plain afternoon, he said he was a bit tired and wanted to rest for a while, and then he fell on the design table and never woke up again."

"Time is unfair to everyone. His time stopped, but I am still wasting time in mediocrity."

"The interaction between long-lived species and short-lived species is mostly such an ending."

Hearing Qing Que shook her head: "So now many long-lived species and short-lived species will not enter the hall of marriage, for the sake of both sides, although there are still some examples."

"I really owe the master too much."

Cheng Cheng Jie lowered his head, very self-blaming: "I am naturally lazy, dragging things on and on. If I could have finished my apprenticeship earlier, I wouldn't have left regrets here now." ===== CHAPTER 160 =====
