"Isn't this the magic weapon refined by Qin Dai?" The Qin Dai that Kong Lanying mentioned is a student in their weapon refining academy.
The name that could be said by Kong Lanying was naturally not an ordinary person. Qin Dai was one of the most talented students in the Equipment Refining Academy. In the first year he entered the school, he almost became Kong Lanying's student.
"Dou Dou, can you show it to Uncle Kong?" Kong Lanying seemed to be a little interested in this magic weapon.
Zhongli and Yue immediately returned to their aloof expressions and quietly reserved, "Of course, Uncle Kong."
After saying that, he handed it over.
Kong Lanying's fingers lightly stroked the magic weapon and he was sure that it was a magic weapon refined in the Qin Dynasty. A year ago, he was the only student who could refine a magic weapon.
"You just mentioned that this magic weapon has been repaired by anyone. Can you tell Uncle Kong the details?"
When Patriarch Zhongli heard his friend's question, he was surprised, "Why, is there something wrong with this magic weapon?"
"The problem is that there is no problem." Kong Lanying said with a hint of meaning.
Zhongli, Yue and Song Mingming might not have heard it, but the head of the Zhongli family understood what his friend meant.
Kong Lanying asked them to speak first. Zhongli and Yue knew nothing. Song Mingming, who knew the truth, stood up and cried without tears. He didn't want people to know that the magic weapon his uncle gave him was broken, but he had to say it in public.
Song Mingming didn't dare to hide it. In front of him were two of the smartest elders in China. Not to mention lying, even if he had the idea, he couldn't hide it from them.
"That person was recommended by someone else. I didn't have high expectations, so I gave him Doudou's magic weapon to try. I was surprised that he actually fixed it."
Zhongli and Yue glared at him viciously where the two elders couldn't see.
Song Mingming stuck out his tongue. Now that his grandfather was around, he was not afraid of her.
Kong Lanying touched the stubble on her chin.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered something." Song Mingming exclaimed, "He seems to have a master. He is so powerful, his master must be very famous. I was thinking of asking someone to check if there are any powerful weapon refining masters in Qing City when I come back."
As a result, he was locked up by his family for two days. If it weren't for today, he might have remembered it after a while.
Patriarch Zhongli nodded slightly and looked at Kong Lanying, "Among the weapon refining masters you know, are there any who have recently accepted disciples?"
Those who had accepted disciples in the past were definitely not them, because none of them were from Qing City.
"As far as I know, no. It could be some hidden weapon master. I never thought that a small coastal city like Qing City would have a young weapon master whose talent is not much worse than Qin Dai's. I really want to know who his master is."
The two masters who were led astray by Song Mingming both thought that there really was a weapon refining master behind Gao Han, and the misunderstanding arose.
"The lack of spiritual energy on the earth is becoming more and more serious, and more and more monsters are breeding. If there really is a hidden master of refining equipment, perhaps we can contact him." The head of the Zhongli family said in a light tone, but with a hint of meaning.
Kong Lanying smiled and said, "That's right. I'm also curious about what would happen if China produced another master-level weapon refiner."
Song Mingming and Zhongli Heyue were completely confused.
"Uncle Kong, what are you talking about?" Song Mingming was impatient and asked immediately.
"What's the name of the instrument master who helped you repair the magic weapon?" Kong Lanying answered the question irrelevantly.
Song Mingming's idea was immediately taken away. "I know, I heard from my uncle that his name is Gao Han, and he seems to be a member of the Tang family."
"The Tang family?" Patriarch Zhongli frowned first, "But the Tang family in the imperial capital? How did your uncle know?"
"No, it's the Tang family in Qing City. I heard that it's a branch of the Tang family in the imperial capital," Song Mingming waved his hands quickly, "My uncle asked him to help refine a similar magic weapon for cousin Shu Ting. After a few visits, it seems that they have crossed paths."
"Chen Mingde?" Patriarch Zhongli remembered.
Song Mingming nodded.
"Chen Mingde is a very shrewd businessman. Since he dares to deal with him, there must be something hidden. However..." Patriarch Zhongli suddenly paused and glanced at his friend, "Based on just one magic weapon, are you sure that Gao Han's talent is comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty?"
Kong Lanying smiled and handed over the magic weapon.
Although the head of the Zhongli family is not a weapon master, he has come into contact with a lot of weapons over the years. After a closer look, he found that this is a formation weapon.
"This formation device is Qin Dai's masterpiece from a year ago. It is a formation device with the device body as the formation. There are only a few people in the Equipment Refining Academy who can make it. I didn't expect it to fall into Doudou's hands." Kong Lanying said with a smile.
"Oh?" Patriarch Zhongli looked at the magic weapon carefully again. With his eyes, he could still see that the magic weapon had been repaired twice, but it was close to perfect.
"This person should have some knowledge of battle formations, but he may have only been in the field for a short time. However, the fact that he was able to perfectly repair this battle formation is enough to show that he has extraordinary talent," Kong Lanying said, "Mingming, do you know where this person is now?"
"I heard from my uncle that he seemed to be a student of Penglai University as well, and he left Qing City because school had started." Song Mingming smacked his lips in amazement. He didn't expect Uncle Kong to praise him so much. He felt a little proud in his heart, as if he hadn't misjudged him.
"I see." Kong Lanying stroked his stubble. "Since he is a student of Penglai and has such talent, he might be a freshman."
After listening to Song Mingming's description, he thought that this weapon maker must be quite old, but he didn't expect that he was still a student.
With such a talent, he would become famous in Penglai within a year, but he had never heard of it. The only possibility was a new life.
"Uncle Kong, are you going to look for him?" Song Mingming asked excitedly.
Kong Lanying shook her head and said with a smile, "Since he is a student of Penglai, I believe we will meet soon. You are lucky to meet a young and capable weapon master in a small city like Qing."
Song Mingming's tail was raised with pride, but Zhongli and Yuebai looked at him and said that he was fat and out of breath.
The head of the Zhongli family still sent people to investigate Gao Han. For a prominent family like the Zhongli family, it would be easy to investigate a person.
But within one day, someone handed over all the information about Gao Han.
"I didn't expect that Gao Han is actually Yuan Zhengrong's son." After reading Gao Han's life, the head of the Zhongli family couldn't help but sigh, and then told Kong Lanying about it.
"Yuan Zhengrong who was exiled to the branch?"
It had been a long time since the incident, but the two had heard of the name Yuan Zhengrong. It was easy for spirit cultivators to remember things, so when the name was mentioned, even Kong Lanying, who didn't pay much attention to students, remembered it.
Because Yuan Zhengrong was once a student of Penglai, but he dropped out before completing his studies and was demoted to a branch in a small city by the powerful old man of the Yuan family.
At that time, I felt it was a pity, because Yuan Zhengrong had a talent for refining weapons. If some things had not happened, his achievements might not even be comparable to those of the Qin Dynasty.
"That old guy Yuan Tianli is really cruel. He has been dead for so many years, but he has not made any statement. It seems that he really treats him as if he has never had this grandson. What a pity." Kong Lanying sighed.
"The Yuan family is now at its peak, and Yuan Zhengrong is not the only talented descendant. In Yuan Tianli's heart, a disobedient grandson can be given up, and the Yuan family can afford to compensate." The head of the Zhongli family had a dignified and indifferent expression. He always sneered at such a family that could casually abandon and ignore even blood relatives.
"No wonder his son is so talented. It turns out that he inherited his father's talent. Interesting." The more Kong Lanying thought about it, the more interesting it became. "If the Yuan family knew that Yuan Zhengrong, whom they had demoted, had given birth to an outstanding son, I wonder if they would change their minds."
"Humph, it was Yuan Tianli who personally demoted the people back then. Given his stubborn character, he will never admit it." said the head of the Zhongli family.
"That's true. Why don't you win him over?" Kong Lanying suggested jokingly.
Patriarch Zhongli shook his head. "There is no rush now. If this person is really capable, he will become famous in Penglai sooner or later. It won't be too late then."
As for the Tang family, even if they are half related by blood, the other half of their blood is still from another family. The Tang family will never bring back a person from another family who has become alienated from the family for training.
Given Gao Han's current level, the two of them would not personally take action. The head of the Zhongli family would investigate Gao Han only for the sake of his grandson.
After this incident, the two put it behind them.
When they heard about Gao Han's deeds again, the course of events had deviated completely from what they had imagined.
…
Gao Han visited the Equipment Refining Academy before going to check in for accommodation. Freshmen at Penglai University need to live on campus for a full year before they can live outside.
However, the school’s accommodation conditions are relatively good, and many resources can be enjoyed nearby, which may not be available if you live off campus. Therefore, not many people are willing to live outside.
Accommodation conditions vary. Given the original owner's situation, the dormitory he lived in was undoubtedly the worst four-person dormitory.
Penglai College has four types of accommodation: single, double and quadruple. Single rooms are divided into villas and ordinary dormitories. Only students from Class 1 are eligible to live in the villas. Others can apply, but they need to pay high fees.
Gao Han emptied his savings and moved from a four-person dormitory to a single dormitory. The whole procedure took three days, and during these three days, he had to live in the original four-person dormitory.
Before going to the dormitory, Gao Han sent a message to Zhongli Tingzhou, asking him when he would come over.
No one knows him better than Zhongli Tingzhou. As soon as I saw his message, I knew that he might use his psychic power tonight, so he replied with the two words "wait for me".
Gao Han put away the communicator with confidence.
Penglai University is very large. It takes more than half an hour to walk back to the dormitory from the Equipment Refining College, because the more people a dormitory can accommodate, the more remote the location.
Gao Han was the first one to come back. Although it was a four-person dormitory, the space inside was actually not small. It was divided into four spaces, but there were no doors, so others could see what you were doing inside just by looking inside.
The original owner had very few things, including a bed, a table, a chair, and a cabinet. He had everything he needed, but the only extra things were several bags of garbage piled at the door and some miscellaneous items in his room.
These are not the original owner's things.
Just as I was thinking about it, the dormitory door opened, and a burst of lively sounds of talking and laughing filled the dormitory as the door opened.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Gao? He comes to school so early in the new semester." Yang Ding is one of Gao Han's roommates. He sleeps opposite Gao Han and he is the one who puts all the sundries in the room.
When the original owner first entered school, the room assigned to him by the school was also filled with Yang Ding's sundries. This holiday, he didn't seem to go home, and he used the same trick again, using his room as a place to store sundries.
Yang Ding's words were not without irony. The original owner was not a rich young master at all, and he just transferred to the school late last semester. However, because of his late enrollment, he had a bad relationship with the three roommates in the past month. Yang Ding and the other two also ignored the original owner.
Yang Ding noticed Gao Han looking at the clutter on his bed, and said with a fake smile: "I'm so sorry, I thought you wouldn't come for a long time this semester. I have something to do right now. If you don't mind, I'll clean it up in the evening."
"What if I mind?" Gao Han leaned against the door with a cold look.
The smile on Yang Ding's face froze, "What did you say?"
"Now, take away your debris and garbage immediately." Gao Han spoke loudly, and an aura that could not be ignored rushed towards Yang Ding.
Yang Ding's face changed. Gao Han, who was once so cowardly that he didn't dare to say a word, actually refuted him?
"Can't you wait a while? I have something to do now." Yang Ding was unhappy and said unhappily.
"Do you think you are right now?" Gao Han raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
Yang Ding was suddenly speechless.
"How are you? Yang Ding said he had something to do. Would it be a loss of meat if we cleaned up later?"
"That's right. We all live in the same dormitory. Yang Ding works so hard. There's nothing wrong in being more tolerant of him." The two roommates couldn't stand it anymore.
"Whether he works hard or not has nothing to do with me. Are we friends?" Gao Han's cold and indifferent eyes swept across their faces one by one, with a sarcastic look on his face, and finally fixed on Yang Ding, "Are you jealous, or have an inferiority complex? Do you need to find a sense of existence on me?"
Yang Ding suddenly had the illusion that his clothes had been stripped off and he was standing naked in front of him, as if his most dirty thoughts were seen clearly, and he couldn't help but feel resentful.
"Even if you don't consider us friends, there's no need to say that. You're the last in Class 9, what can make me jealous and feel inferior? Are you kidding?" Yang Ding sneered.
"That's right. So what if you have good academic performance? Your ability is still useless. Yang Ding is in the same class. Why does he need to be jealous of you? You are more likely to be jealous of Yang Ding."
"The last one in the class?" Gao Han narrowed his sharp eyes. For someone like Yang Ding, he could tell what he was thinking.
People from ordinary families may have hundreds of thousands of savings, but this amount is definitely not enough to support a son to attend Penglai University.
Penglai University is full of children from wealthy families. Yang Ding, who is not strong-willed, has lived here for a semester, and naturally his mentality has become unbalanced quickly.
He worked so hard, practiced and earned money, turned his days and nights upside down, and slept less than three hours a day, all for the sake of ensuring that he would not be kicked out of the class and lose the glory and aura of being a top student. However, those rich kids could get what he worked hard for, and even more, without having to pay anything. How could he be willing to accept that?
Therefore, when he found out that the original owner was also a rich second-generation, with a soft personality and easy to bully, Yang Ding vented his pressure on the original owner.
But he didn't know that there were many people in his class who came from ordinary backgrounds like him. Why didn't they complain about everything like him?
Ultimately it's a matter of character. If he continues to practice with this kind of mentality, his future achievements will not be very high. He tried his best to maintain his place in Class 1, and it was only a matter of time before he fell down.
Yang Ding’s roommate couldn’t believe that a student at the bottom of Class 9 was actually laughing at Yang Ding who was in Class 1.
But only Yang Ding knew that Gao Han’s meaningful words hit the most fearful part of his heart.
"Forget it, let's just clean up." Yang Ding grabbed his roommate who wanted to go up and argue with Gao Han.
"People like this deserve to be ostracized. We are here to help you." The roommate glared at Gao Han.
It was obvious that they were the ones who made the mistake first, but after a few words, Gao Han became the bad guy who was always right and refused to let go.
He moved out three days later, and Gao Han was too lazy to waste time talking to them.
This kind of phenomenon of protecting one's own child is normal no matter where it happens. Friends and relatives will always ignore the essence of the problem and involuntarily put themselves in their own shoes, thus ignoring right and wrong. That's why they say that bystanders see more clearly.
The three of them quickly took away the things that had been placed in Gao Han's room, but they did not intend to help him clean it up. After being reminded and glaring at Gao Han, they cleaned it up reluctantly.
Gao Han shook his head and that was it.
If it weren't for the school's regulations, he wouldn't want to come here and see these people's faces.
After making sure they were clean, Gao Han went out.
As soon as he left, Yang Ding and the other two gathered together again.
"How come Gao Han seems like a different person? If you hadn't called out his name, I wouldn't have recognized him." Roommate Zhang Wen couldn't help but say to Yang Ding.
Yang Ding forced a smile. He didn't actually look carefully. He was able to recognize Gao Han because there were only four of them in the dormitory. Apart from the three of them, only Gao Han had the key to come in. He saw Gao Han only after he finished speaking and almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.
Gao Han had not only changed in appearance, he looked completely unfamiliar. His looks and temperament had undergone tremendous changes. He had become the rich and powerful young man who was so arrogant and looked down on them in his impression.
"He seems very difficult to deal with now. Let's just ignore him in the future. Yang Ding, you should also be careful and don't bring bad luck upon yourself." Another roommate also said that they, the civilians with no background, didn't want to get into trouble.
Yang Ding's face darkened, he lowered his eyes and said, "Well, I know my limits."
Gao Han left the dormitory. He had already familiarized himself with Penglai University in the morning and soon found an open space on the road that students had to take to return to the dormitory.
They took out tables and chairs from the Yayoi ring, put up a sign promoting the repair of ritual instruments, and waited for business to come.
The semester had just begun, and many of the civilian students who were short of money would do the same, but they had specific locations to set up their stalls, and few would set up their stalls in the aisles like he did, which looked a bit conspicuous.
Gao Han didn't go there because he had a concern. Most students at the Magical Instrument Academy were familiar with instrument makers and would generally not hand their instruments over to strangers for repair. It would be impossible for him to snatch Li Da and his people's business like he did in Qing City.
The students who returned to the dormitory after eating in the cafeteria soon noticed Gao Han's presence, especially the girls.
That strikingly handsome face was the face of the place, but since no one knew him, they hesitated and didn't dare to approach.
…
In the cafeteria, three energetic students were walking out while talking.
"Haozi, are you really planning to go find that guy Yuan Zhe?" The Haozi mentioned by Yu Sheng had a bored look on his face.
"What else can we do if we don't look for him? Yuan Zhe has clearly decided to take over Haozi. He even told the students in Class 1 not to help Haozi. The school ranking competition will start soon. This will affect our ranking and whether we can enter Class 1! If the magic weapon is not repaired by then, Haozi's combat effectiveness will be discounted. He knew this, so he dared to do that."
Another person who was also very angry was Yan Pang, whose full name was Yan Yunjing, and was nicknamed Yan Pang because of his fatness. He was so angry that he stuffed another handful of potato chips into his mouth.
"But if we go back to find him, wouldn't we be contradicting ourselves after the boast we made in the first place? Why don't we find someone else? I don't believe that there is no one else in the entire Penglai University except them." Yu Sheng said hesitantly.
"The question is where to find it." Zhang Hao was like a rat, with his head hanging, not having any idea in his mind. He sighed again when he heard what they said.
"In the Equipment Refining Academy, the best students are in Class 1, and they have a good relationship with Yuan Zhe. Whoever dares to help Haozi repair the magic weapon is against Yuan Zhe. No one even in Class 1 dares to stand up, let alone the classes behind. He wants to force Haozi to death." Fat Yan said with a clatter.
"Tsk, does he really think that he has the final say in the first-year weapon refining academy? At worst... at worst we can just buy a new weapon." Yu Sheng said angrily.
"The problem is that I don't have money." Zhang Hao gave him a resentful look. If he had money, he wouldn't have to find someone to repair the magic weapon. "Besides, a mid-level magic weapon would empty my family's savings. How can I get the money to buy another magic weapon of the same level?"
Yu Sheng frowned and said, "Fat Yan and I can also raise some money for you. You can't keep going like this. Without your magic weapon, it will be difficult for you to conduct actual combat training. If you fall behind during this period of time, who knows if someone will catch up with you later."
"Forget it. Let me take another look. The magic weapon I'm using now is the one you borrowed money from me to buy." Zhang Hao said gloomily.
"In fact, based on Haozi's ranking last semester, his grades shouldn't fall below the bottom of the class in this school ranking." Fat Yan's tone was comforting, and there was a hint of truth in it.
Zhang Hao shook his head. "This is not a matter of falling out of the first class. Our resources are limited to begin with. If we don't work harder than others, the gap will only widen in the future."
Speaking of this, Yu Sheng and Yan Pang's expressions also became a little gloomy.
Although they are not as short of money as Zhang Hao, they do not have his talent. Now one of them is in Class 2 and the other is in Class 3.
"Hey, have you heard that there is a student from the Equipment Refining Academy setting up a stall in front, claiming that he can repair anything."
"I don't know if it's true, but he's very handsome, and he's pleasing to the eye even from a distance."
"Really? Then I must go and take a look. There are several handsome guys in the Equipment Refining Academy. Which handsome guy is he?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's a new student. I've never seen him before."
"A freshman is brave enough to set up a stall on his first day of school. This guy is quite brave. Let's go and take a look."
The two girls said as they ran past the three people.
Zhang Hao and the other two looked at each other.
"A new student? Why don't we go and take a look? Maybe this guy can help Haozi repair the magic weapon?" Fat Yan suggested.
Zhang Hao was a little hesitant. They knew nothing about the freshmen. If something went wrong, would the other party be responsible?
"It's better to go and take a look, and then make a decision." Yu Sheng felt that it didn't matter if he just took a look.
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and agreed.
The three followed the two girls and came to Gao Han's stall.
