Chapter 32: Breaking Through the First Forging Tower
Li Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Could it be that you designed the prototype of the weapon yourself and are going to Poyue Tower to find the weapon refiners there to forge it?"
Ye Fei nodded: "That's right."
"What kind of weapon could a little girl like you design?" Li Yuan was not very convinced.
"Looking down on me?" Ye Fei winked slyly at Li Yuan: "I guarantee that no one in the Eastern Continent will know how to use this weapon."
Li Yuan said expressionlessly, "We'll see."
He pushed the paper bag towards Ye Fei: "Eat."
"You eat too." Ye Fei picked up a meat bun and handed it to him with a bright smile. "I saved your life, and now you're going to be my classmate. If you eat this bun, we're friends."
Li Yuan: "..."
Friend? Be friends with him?
Li Yuan slightly curled the corners of his lips.
If she knew he wanted her dead, would her expression still be as joyful as it is now?
I really look forward to that day.
Li Yuan didn't say anything, and took the meat bun from her hand.
The two quickly finished their meal, then took their academy tokens and headed straight for Guiyuan City.
...
Guiyuan City, Poyue Tower.
Ye Fei had prepared two hooded cloaks in advance, and she and Li Yuan each put one on.
The girl pulled down the hood of her cloak to cover most of her face. The two walked slowly through the gate, one after the other. A handsome young man greeted them: "Welcome to Poyue Tower, sir. Do you need a custom weapon made?"
Ye Fei raised her head slightly, and the sound of a hammer forcefully striking metal echoed in the air, filled with the strong smell of rust.
Many weapon refiners stood in front of their workbenches, while apprentices pulled the bellows beside them, the intense heat from the furnace almost assaulting their senses.
Ye Fei withdrew her gaze and lowered her voice, saying, "I need three weapons. What is the best metal you have here? And how much does it cost?"
The young man sized up the two men in black before him, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "The best metal material we have here is Crimson Flame Gold Crystal. The price depends on the size and quality of the material. The smallest Crimson Flame Gold Crystal costs fifty gold coins."
Ye Fei then asked, "Then who is your best weapon refiner? I want to see him."
"Uh, sir, you mean you want to see our best weapon refiner?" The young man hesitated. "Our Master Song Yu, the lord of Po Yue Pavilion, is the best weapon refiner, unmatched by anyone, but he usually doesn't receive guests..."
"Xu Huan, what happened?"
A pleasant, deep male voice came from behind. Ye Fei turned around and saw a boy wearing a dark gray battle robe standing behind them. He was about fifteen years old, with handsome features, a tall figure, black hair tied in a ponytail, and eyes that seemed to hold a deep yet burning flame. He exuded a dignified youthful aura.
"Senior Brother Qin Gui!" Xu Huan beamed with joy upon seeing the young man and quickly went over to whisper in his ear.
Ye Fei wasn't in a hurry. She and Li Yuan stood quietly in place, patiently waiting for them to finish their conversation.
After a while, the boy patted Xu Huan on the shoulder: "Okay, I understand. Leave this to me. You can go and take care of other things."
Xu Huan left quickly, and the young man walked up to the two of them, clasped his hands in greeting, and said: "I am Xie Qin Gui, an inner disciple of Po Yue Lou. May I ask if we can talk in a quiet place?"
Ye Fei had a good first impression of the young man named Xie Qin Gui. He was neither arrogant nor servile, and his temperament suited her taste: "Okay, please."
