Chapter 11: Let Bygones Be Bygones

  Dong Changliang was beaten dizzy and got up from the ground, Xu Jia Bing Qi Fang had never encountered such a thing.

  "Youre going too far, daring to cause trouble at Xus Armory!"

  Those little servants rushed out one after another to reason with the crowd. The Xu family had been doing business for many years and had a very good reputation, but these people were openly slapping them in the face.

  "Damn it, take them down for me and see if the steward of the Xu family comes out or not."

  The leader of the mercenary group had a long scar on his face and was known as Scar Tiger, who did things ruthlessly.

  Who gave him the guts to openly challenge the Xu family? The master of the Xu family, Xian Lingjing, and several other pre-heavenly realm executives were present, making this situation somewhat unusual.

  All the mercenaries rushed forward, punching and kicking, the weapons shop was in a mess, the weapons hanging on the wall fell down with a clatter, scattering all over the ground.

  Pedestrians on the street heard the sound of fighting and rushed over in large numbers, gathering around and pointing fingers.

  "Is Dào Hén Tū taking the wrong medicine? He openly smashed Xus shop. Is he tired of living?"

  The crowd gasped in shock, stunned by the actions of the scarred mercenaries. The blacksmiths workshop was in disarray, with several apprentices lying on the ground wailing in pain alongside Dong, who had been beaten until he was covered in bruises.

  "The Xu family is really having a bad year, the master craftsmen theyve been cultivating for years have almost all been poached by the Tian family, causing their business to decline day by day."

  Sighs echoed from all directions, the city of Canglang rose and fell, some people emerged, while others fell.

  "Its their own fault for being so stubborn. I heard that the Tian family was willing to form an alliance with the Xu family through marriage, but Xu Yilin refused, choosing instead to honor the promise between the Xu and Liu families, and would rather marry off such a beautiful woman to a useless person."

  The beauty of Miss Xus family is known to everyone in Canglang City, and her stunning looks have long been spread throughout the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

  Such a peerless beauty, married to a good-for-nothing who cant even truss a chicken and spends his days idling about, makes many young talents sigh with regret at the injustice of the world.

  After the scar-faced tiger injured someone, he didnt leave and instead sat inside with an air of nonchalance, waiting for Xus family manager to arrive. Someone had already run out to inform Xus family, who quickly sent people over.

  Alchemists Laboratory!

  It has come to a critical moment, and the long knifes appearance is basically formed. Hu Shi exhausted all his physical strength and sat down on the ground with a thud.

  "Clang......"

  The last hammer fell on the long knife, issuing a clear and crisp sound that resonated throughout the entire forging room.

  "The first forging, flaws do not hide the beauty, a few minor defects do not affect the quality of the long knife."

  Liu Wuxie was very satisfied with the long knife, which was two feet long, three fingers wide and weighed seventy catties. Such a small long knife was so heavy, it had a lot to do with the thousand folds, the density of the refined iron increased by more than ten times.

  The knife is not very long, with a curved arc, convenient to wear. The blade releases a sharp air, pulls out a strand of hair, lightly cuts it, and the hair breaks in two, cutting off even the finest hairs.

  "What a sharp long sword! Young Master, is this your first time forging a weapon?"

  Hu Shis eyes were filled with admiration, he stood up and followed Liu Wuxie to forge a long knife. The harvest was too great, the first thousand-refined weapon was forged, if this gets out, wouldnt it shock the entire Canglang City?

  "Hu Shi, do you still remember what I told you just now? Do you want to become a great master of alchemy?"

  Liu Wuxie took out a red cloth and wrapped up the long knife, holding it in his hand, and asked Hu Shi very solemnly.

  "Uncle... no, Master, I am willing to take Uncle as my master."

  Hu Shi suddenly knelt down with a thud and asked Liu Wuxie to be his teacher. Strangely, Liu Wuxie did not refuse.

  "Alright, Ill accept you as my disciple. Only the two of us will know about todays events, dont leak it out. The Xu family is in need of someone with your talents right now. In the future, when outsiders are around, still address me as Gū Yé (maternal uncle)."

  Liu Wuxie, the majestic and powerful Emperor of Immortals, took in a mortal named Xu as his disciple, although it lowered his status, for the sake of the Xu family, some things had to be done.

  Xus family urgently needs a master of refining instruments, Hu Shi is very suitable, and he is also very loyal.

  "Yes, I guarantee not to leak a single piece of information."

  Hu Shi stood up, his face excited, he had already guessed that the young master must be deliberately pretending to be a playboy, mainly to cover peoples ears and eyes, but in fact he was very formidable. The set of refining techniques just now, even in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, was among the best. What puzzled him was that although he was obviously very capable, he was low-key and unassuming.

  "Squeeze out a drop of your precious blood."

  Soon, Hu Shi squeezed out a drop of essence, floating in the air, Liu Wuxies hands were sealed, and strange marks were injected into it. The essence emitted a faint glow, and Hu Shis face changed from shock to habituation. Todays scene overturned his understanding.

  "Go!"

  A sharp and piercing sound, it entered Hu Shis forehead, disappeared without a trace, extremely strange.

  "Ive sealed some refining techniques within this drop of pure blood, aiming to craft the first spiritual weapon within three days."

  Liu Wuxie said with a profound meaning, he still needs to cultivate and cant spare time to forge weapons. Hell just hand it over to Hu Shi and let him find a few trustworthy people to train, then the Xu familys armory will rise quickly.

  The Tian familys martial arts, Liu Wuxie had seen it before, there was no spiritual energy, and the method used was still the Xu familys refining technique.

  Once a spiritual weapon is put on the market, Xus weapons will definitely be snapped up and the lost shares can be quickly recovered.

  Infused with spirituality, the grade of the weapon has been greatly enhanced, and the materials are not expensive, just adding a few spiritual patterns. However, there is no spiritual pattern master in Canglang City.

  "Yes, Master, I will start contemplating now."

  Hu Shi was overjoyed and sat down immediately, with many alchemy knowledge appearing in his mind.

  "Then you stay here and ponder slowly, take your time to make a scabbard for me, you know the size."

  Liu Wuxie finished speaking and turned to leave, but there was another secret. The handprint he had imprinted on his vital energy still had a contract seal. If Hu Shi dared to betray the Xu family, relying on this seal, he could take his life in an instant.

  This was just in case, Liu Wuxie didnt say it out loud, he still believed in Hu Shi.

  The noise in the hall grew more intense, the Xu family had arrived, looking at the scattered weapons and the injured Xu family owner, the executor who came forward with a black face.

  Lan Zhi was on an errand nearby, accompanied by another person. The figure was slender and wore a green gauze veil to cover her face - it was none other than Liu Wu Xies wife, Xu Ling Xue, who had also arrived.

  "Knife Scar Tiger, you have a big nerve, daring to hurt someone at Xus Armory."

  Lan Zhi shouted loudly, this group of people was too overbearing, they really didnt put the Xu family in their eyes.

  "The military equipment your Xu family sold to us has serious quality problems, which led to the death of my two brothers in the Sunset Mountains. How do you plan to settle this account? Your Xu family wont dare not acknowledge it, will you?"

  The scar-faced tiger took out the broken long knife in his hand and threw it in front of Blue Executor, letting him check it himself.

  News of Xus family weapons having problems had spread throughout the entire Canglang City, and there have been people returning goods for these few days. The Xu family has refunded them at the original price, and no one has come to make trouble.

  Lans brow furrowed, just as Knife Scar Tiger had said, things were going to get troublesome. The reason for the Xu familys weapon had resulted in loss of life, and would have a devastating impact on the Xu familys reputation, even causing it to collapse completely.

  "If its really because of our Xu familys weapons that caused casualties, well investigate thoroughly and give you a satisfactory answer. But youve injured our people, this is somewhat excessive."

  The Xu family does not want to make a big deal out of this, and hopes that Knife Scar Tiger will give the Xu family an explanation. The matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet, and it remains to be seen whether it was indeed due to a problem with the Xu familys weapons.

  "My brother is dead, just a few of you were injured, are we being excessive?"

  Dao Hu stood up, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light as he swept his gaze over Xue Lingxue. It was said that she was the number one beauty of the Great Yan Empire, and few people had seen her true face. Normally when going out, she always wore a veil to cover herself.

  "Its not excessive, the Xu family must give an explanation."

  Some people follow suit, weapons are second life, related to family and life, cant afford to be careless.

  Lan Zhis face turned iron-green, his body trembling with rage. The power of the scarred tiger stirred up the crowd, standing on a moral high ground, making it difficult for the Xu family to retreat.

  "Dont say I didnt give the Xu family a chance, as long as Miss Xu is willing to take off her mask and let everyone see her face, we can put the past behind us regarding the matter of the sword."

  Scar Tiger said with a sly tone, actually wanting to let Xu Lingxue take off her mask in public. The crowd suddenly boiled over, and many people wanted to see Xu Lingxues true face. Immediately, countless people stood up to echo him, and every word Scar Tiger spoke was provocative.

  Liu Wuxie walked out of the refining room and happened to hear a sentence from Knife Scar Tiger, asking his wife to unveil her veil in public.

  A thread of murderous intent shot out from his eyes, Xu Lingxue was his wife, although there was no actual husband-wife relationship, she was still his lawfully wedded wife, not to be desecrated.

  "Let bygones be bygones!"

  Liu Wuxie took a big step forward, his eyes scanning the surroundings before locking onto Xu Lingxue. They exchanged a brief glance, and Xu Lingxue wondered how he ended up here.

  Finally settled on Kōteis body, a ruthless killing intent permeated the entire Armory.

  Lan Zhi was taken aback and hadnt expected Liu Wuxie to be at the Arms Workshop.

  "Xu Jias son-in-law, what is he doing here?"

  The crowd erupted in gasps and whispers, with too much information circulating about Liu Wuxie: wastrel, prodigal son, good-for-nothing...

  "Whats going on, Lan?"

  Ive been busy refining arms and wasnt aware of what happened at the Arms Workshop.
