Kelu scratched his head and quickly waved his hand, changing the subject: "Old Wang, how about I find you a companion someday? Then you can have your companion accompany you while I go out and explore the world."
"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?"
Old Wang's face was covered in sweat as he cursed at Kru.
"Hehehe, you're too lonely, so I want you to find a companion so you don't have to be lonely anymore. And since I can't be with you in the future, wouldn't it be nice to have someone by your side?"
"Tsk! You kid, you only know how to think about these useless things. You still want to go out and explore the martial arts world? Let me ask you, where are you going? How can you make a name for yourself with your limited strength? Besides, the martial arts world is full of fighting and killing. You can't protect yourself with your limited strength. You'd better listen to me and stay here. This iron shop is enough for you to live on. Isn't that good?"
Old Wang looked at Kru and advised him earnestly.
"Old Wang, I know you're doing this for my own good, but you should know that my dream isn't to be a blacksmith. I don't want to be an ordinary person anymore. I want to practice cultivation and become a leader!"
Kru said excitedly.
"What kind of person do you think you are? Who do you think you are?"
Old Wang waited for Kru and said, "You're not a descendant of a powerful faction, nor are you from a famous family. You don't have any cultivation resources that are offered to you. You have to rely on yourself to get everything. You don't have enough strength. So tell me, how do you become a strong person?"
"So what? Old Wang, if you don't try, no one knows what your future will be like. I have no choice but to give it a try and fight hard. Only in this way will I not regret it. Even if I die somewhere else, I will never regret it!" Kru said firmly.
Old Wang looked at Kru helplessly and said, "I think you're trying to piss me off to death! You said you met a benefactor before, but what about now? How have you changed? Not different, but not better? You keep talking about your benefactor, but I think that guy is just lying to you. You're not young anymore, so why don't you listen to an old man like me? I've watched you grow up, and you still don't believe me? Will I hurt you? Why do you insist on being obsessed with that benefactor? Don't you understand now? Have you ever seen him come to you?"
Old Wang asked Kru a series of questions, which made Kru's heart begin to waver.
"No, Old Wang, that's not what you said. Master Gu would definitely not lie to me. Besides, I've already made inquiries. He's been out training for the past six months, so he hasn't arranged anything for me. Don't worry, he will definitely come find me again. I just need to improve my strength quickly so that I can help Brother Gu!"
Kru explained to Old Wang.
"Well, whatever you want. I'm old now, and my words are no longer pleasant to hear. I just hope you can stay safe. No matter what you do, you have to stay alive first! I know your goal isn't to become a blacksmith, so I'm telling you this: I won't stop you from doing anything in the future. But I hope you can recognize yourself and the people around you. Don't let yourself be sold and then count the money. Remember that?"
Old Wang said to Kru seriously.
Kelu nodded and said, "Old Wang, I know you are worried about me, but don't worry, I have grown up. I have my own ideas and choices, and I will take responsibility for my choices!"
"Okay, I can rest assured that you can say that. It means that you have really grown up." Old Wang said with some relief.
"Hey? Someone's coming towards us! Quick, Kru, get your stuff ready and see if they're coming here to make iron tools! My eyes are blurry, take a look."
Suddenly, Old Wang saw a figure appear on the street in the distance, approaching him.
Kru raised his head and looked in the direction Old Wang was looking. He was stunned at first, then he couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and then looked at the figure again.
The figure soon arrived in front of the iron shop and kept staring at Kru.
"Kru, I'm back."
That figure was Gu Yuan.
"Master Gu! It's really you! You're back! I thought you had forgotten me!"
Kelu walked up to Gu Yuan with excitement on his face and said to Gu Yuan.
Patting Kru on the shoulder, Gu Yuan said, "How could that be? I, Gu Yuan, would never do such a thing!"
"Hehehe, I knew Mr. Gu wouldn't do that!" Kru scratched his head and said.
"Well, I haven't come to see you in the past six months, mainly because I have been out for training for more than half a year, and I asked you to go to the Abyss Pawnshop, but you never went." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, the main reason is that I'm really not cut out for business, so I feel redundant there. I just wanted to ask Master Gu if you have any odd jobs for me! Although my strength isn't high, my physical strength is still okay, you see..."
"Hahaha, Kru, you really make me ashamed to say that. Don't say that. I came here to tell you that the Abyss Pawnshop will have a meeting tomorrow morning. I hope you can be there on time. I will arrange all the affairs of the Abyss Pawnshop in detail. By then, you may have a lot of things to do!" Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Really? That's great! Hahaha, I'm here working as a blacksmith with Old Wang every day, but it's actually not that interesting at all. It's not as interesting as working under Master Gu! If you need anything, Kru is always ready!"
"Hahaha, great! If that's the case, I'm truly very grateful to you. Well, I have other things to do now, so let's meet at the Abyss Pawn Shop tomorrow!"
“See you there!”
Kelu excitedly watched Gu Yuan leave, muttering, "Finally he's here. Thanks to him, my wait wasn't in vain!"
Old Wang walked up to Kelu and asked, "Is this young man the Master Gu you mentioned?"
Kelu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Old Wang, my chance has come!"
Old Wang looked at Kelu helplessly and said, "This young man doesn't even look as old as you. What ability does he have that makes you want to follow him so loyally?"
"Hey, Old Wang, do you know anything about the Abyss Pawn Shop?"
"Of course I know. This pawnshop is now more famous than forces like the Golden Blade Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. It's simply unbelievable. But what is the connection between this young man and the Abyss Pawnshop?"
"Hey, this young man, he is none other than the master behind the Abyss Pawnshop, Gu Yuan!"
