"Master, why did you come home so late last night?"
In the courtyard of the camp, five people were having breakfast around a table.
"Have you memorized all the basics of forging? Do you know every step of the process by heart?" Jiang Yuan finished the last mouthful of meat porridge, then got up and walked towards the bronze door underground. "Eat quickly, and I'll personally teach you forging after you finish!"
"Do you think Master is having an affair? When he came back last night, he not only smelled of alcohol, but also had a very strong perfume scent!" Lin Man only dared to mutter softly after Jiang Yuan had completely disappeared.
"Eat quickly, I have a feeling Master is in a bad mood today, we need to be prepared to be abused!" Shi Xuyao said cautiously.
"If anyone's going to be abused, it'll be you. How could Master bear to abuse someone as cute and charming as me!" Lin Man said smugly, cupping her face in her hands.
"Tch, you'd better watch out, Master doesn't care if you're a man or a woman!"
...
"call!"
Jiang Yuan took out the items he bought from Liu's shop and began assembling the forging platform. The forging platform he was making needed to meet the standards for forging weapons at the Void Spirit Realm, so the materials were all top-notch. As for whether it would be wasteful, he never considered that.
When iron charcoal was loaded to preheat the forging table, Jiang Yuan finally felt the pride of being a forger.
"Perhaps, only those who truly own their own forging platform can be considered true blacksmiths!" Jiang Yuan sighed with emotion.
"Master, what kind of material did you find? It's so hard to process!" Lin Man, unlike Jiang Yuan, was not full of ambition. She just groaned and tapped the forging hammer in her hand.
"A blacksmith needs a dedicated blacksmithing table. It's an important tool to ensure a good feel for the weapon. If you want to pursue the three-word inheritance within the weapon stele, then you can't slack off!" Jiang Yuan warned meaningfully.
"Master, I'm all better!"
Shi Xuyao was incredibly fast, finishing almost simultaneously with Jiang Yuan within minutes of Jiang Yuan's completion.
"Not bad, Lin Man, you should learn from her!" Jiang Yuan gave Shi Xuyao an approving look.
"Thank you for the materials, Master!" Shi Xuyao cupped his hands in thanks to Jiang Yuan. Making a high-quality forging platform that met the requirements required many precious materials, and he knew the value of a forging platform.
"Let me teach you how to shape and forge a blank first!"
The forging platform had been successfully preheated, and Jiang Yuan began adding the black rubies inside.
Although the firestone is far better than the black ryoko, good steel should be used on the blade; obviously, the firestone is not needed for practice.
"Master, are you really not going out to check on that young lady? She's been waiting outside all morning!" Lin Man asked casually.
“You don’t need to worry about your master’s affairs. Right now, all you should be concerned about is your own forging skills!” Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Lin Man pouted and whispered, "I'm also thinking about Master's marriage!"
"Let's begin!" Jiang Yuan ignored Lin Man and pulled Shi Xuyao aside, then began demonstrating the process of shaping and forging using energy.
They had been absorbing the dragon energy from the bronze gate while refining their weapons for most of the day. Of the three, Lin Man was still in the exploratory stage, while Jiang Yuan and Shi Xuyao had made great progress.
Although Jiang Yuan possessed the complete inheritance of the Sun and Moon Saint King, practice always proves the truth. Only through personal practice can one accurately judge the advantages and disadvantages of forging weapons.
In the courtyard
Staring blankly at the table full of dishes, Liu Zhaodi murmured to herself, "Does he still not want to see me?"
"Hey girl, what do you want with Jiang Yuan?" Li Xiang asked Liu Zhaodi. This girl had arrived early in the morning, doing housework and preparing a table full of delicious food, but Jiang Yuan and the others hadn't eaten, as if they were deliberately avoiding her.
"I..." Liu Zhaodi hesitated, then sighed and continued to wait.
What can she say? It might feel good to mistreat your husband for a while, but chasing him back will be like going through a nightmare.
"Auntie, Brother Jiang Yuan and Sister Yan Lan are husband and wife, please don't try to break them up!" Xiao Xin said in a sweet, coquettish voice while playing with the doll in her hand.
“Little sister, how do I look like an auntie?” Liu Zhaodi asked with a pained expression.
“It looks like it everywhere!” Xiao Xin replied innocently.
"Xiao Xin, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Xiang shooed Xiao Xin back to her room, then said to Liu Zhaodi, "Little sister, you can keep waiting, I'm going to sleep with Xiao Xin!"
"Mmm!" Liu Zhaodi nodded, then rested her chin on her hand, lost in memories.
She had forgotten everything that happened last night, but she was completely dumbfounded when she saw her lively older sister this morning.
Jiang Yuan did nothing to wrong her, no, he did nothing despicable, because Jiang Yuan never needed to be worthy of her; she had no right to.
As for what happened last night, the blackout isn't scary; what's scary is that there's a clone constantly giving her the memories.
The clone didn't disappear last night; instead, it recorded everything.
First, she got completely drunk, then she kicked down her own door, and finally went on a drunken rampage! And then there was the interaction between the two of them at the end.
Liu Zhaodi slumped dejectedly on the table, imagining Jiang Yuan's anger as he broke free from mind control and pointed a gun at her.
Although Jiang Yuan didn't kill her in the end, and even coaxed her to sleep after helping her get dressed before leaving, the resoluteness he displayed made her afraid to get close to him again.
"He must hate me to death!"
Liu Zhaodi still remembers Jiang Yuan's eyes; that suppressed anger was terrifying.
"Liu Zhaodi, Liu Zhaodi, why can't you control yourself a little!" Liu Zhaodi kept biting her fingernails.
"No, I have to apologize to him! At worst, I'll tie myself up and let him do whatever he wants to me!"
"No, he'll definitely think I'm a very promiscuous woman!"
"That's not right. After what I did yesterday, does that mean he already sees me as a very promiscuous woman?"
"What should I do? Will he never forgive me?"
Liu Zhaodi was completely caught in a dilemma.
"Hey, miss, why haven't you left yet?"
Just as Liu Zhaodi's mind was in turmoil, Shi Xuyao and Lin Man entered.
"I'm waiting for Jiang Yuan to eat!" Liu Zhaodi said awkwardly, pointing to the table full of dishes. The dishes were prepared at noon, but Jiang Yuan didn't come to eat even though it was already evening.
"Wait for your master. He said he's not eating anymore and wants you to go back!" Shi Xuyao said.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, that's not what Master said!" Lin Man quickly corrected him.
Liu Zhaodi was overjoyed and looked at Lin Man with expectant eyes, "So what did your master say?"
“I remember when I asked my master if he would come out to see you, he said ‘get lost.’ I don’t know if he meant for us to get lost or for you to get lost!” Lin Man said.
Shi Xuyao nudged Lin Man with his elbow, his expression clearly conveying his meaning.
"That's exactly what Master said, and I didn't say anything wrong!" Lin Man said nonchalantly.
"Hurry up and let's go, Master finally gave us a day off!" Shi Xuyao pulled Lin Man and walked outside.
"Miss, would you like to come with us to the night market?" Lin Man greeted Liu Zhaodi.
Liu Zhaodi didn't seem very interested. She shook her head and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll wait here a little longer!"
