The wind has risen.

Late at night on June 1st, at the Great Xia Civilization Academy, the wind was strong.

In the void, the 107th golden rune prototype appeared. Everyone knew that Zhao Li was about to emerge from his seclusion.

It was going smoothly!

At least, that’s how it seemed to them.

The Great Xia府 would soon have a top-tier weapon smith.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the academy would soon gain another Elder, perhaps even the Dean of the Weapon Smithing Academy. Of course, Zhao Li might not accept.

Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating, the wind and clouds surged.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled!

Boom!

Lightning formed in the void, and the 108th inscription prototype officially appeared!

At that moment, everyone waited with bated breath.

And at that exact moment, the Yuan Qi Secret Realm vanished directly.

In the void, Zhao Li put away the Yuan Qi Secret Realm, holding a giant hammer in his hand.

He appeared before everyone’s eyes.

At the same time, suddenly, a surge of Wen Bing aura rose from below!

A smaller hammer directly broke through the roof. Beneath the shattered roof, someone reached out and grabbed the hammer’s handle. Sixty-six golden runes appeared on the hammer, flashing for an instant before disappearing.

The crowd was stunned!

Sixty-six golden runes?

A peak Mysterious Rank Wen Bing!

Was this… forged by Cui Lang?

Zhao Li was forging his own Wen Bing, and Cui Lang was also forging a Wen Bing?

Before the crowd could think too much, someone cheered, “Congratulations, Teacher!”

It was Zhao Li’s disciples. At that moment, several of them were overjoyed, congratulating him loudly.

He succeeded!

Zhao Li remained calm and didn’t say much. He glanced at Su Yu below and said with a faint smile, “Little friend Cui has also completed his forging, which is faster than I expected. It’s a pity that I took away the Yuan Qi Secret Realm, causing some interference on your side.”

“It’s nothing. Teacher Zhao has given me a lot of guidance these days. It’s just a peak Mysterious Rank Wen Bing. I can forge dozens more later for fun.”

“…”

The surroundings fell silent for a moment.

The next moment, Su Yu also took to the air, hovering alongside Zhao Li.

However… they vaguely sensed something was amiss.

Su Yu remained calm and composed, gracefully transforming Yuan Qi into a white robe, covering his body. His carefree and unrestrained appearance instantly reassured those who were previously surprised.

What a handsome and elegant young man!

As for Old Zhao… well, although he had strong muscles, his hair was all white, and he was getting on in years. There was nothing to see.

Zhao Li also paused slightly. Soon, a suit of leather armor, shimmering with light, appeared on his body. It was clearly a peak Mysterious Rank Wen Bing armor, making some people’s eyes light up.

What a treasure!

“Congratulations, Master Zhao!”

“Congratulations to Master Zhao!”

“Great Xia府 has another weapon smithing grandmaster!”

“…”

The crowd spoke up one after another. Some Earth Rank weapon smiths also offered their congratulations. Hu Qi looked at Su Yu and smiled, “Cui Lang, you’re very good. I think if you accumulate experience for a while, you can also advance to Earth Rank. You are a promising young man!”

A group of people came over, not paying attention to the fact that they hadn’t been wearing clothes earlier.

They had been forging weapons for so many days that their clothes had long since been destroyed. What was wrong with not wearing clothes? It wasn’t like they were women.

Su Yu and Zhao Li also looked calm and natural. They had just forgotten. It was fine if they looked. They were still wearing underwear, weren’t they?

Just as the crowd was offering congratulations, the void flickered, and the next moment, Zhao Tianbing appeared.

At the same time, Marquis Xiahou also arrived.

Both of them had beaming smiles. Zhao Tianbing cupped his hands and said with a smile, “Congratulations, junior brother, you’ve finally succeeded. Congratulations, junior brother, on stepping into the Mountain and Sea Realm and achieving Earth Rank!”

“So-so!”

Zhao Li looked calm. Soon, he smiled and said, “It’s little friend Cui who has exceeded my expectations. He will definitely reach Earth Rank within a year. I hope little friend can reach Heaven Rank within ten years and carry forward the art of weapon smithing!”

The crowd was surprised. Zhao Li was so optimistic about Cui Lang?

As for Su Yu, he was all smiles, somewhat unrestrained, and said with a smile, “Teacher Zhao is too kind! I’m just at the peak of Mysterious Rank now. Speaking of which, Teacher Zhao taught me the Expansion Technique and the art of weapon smithing. I don’t know how to repay your kindness. When I advance to Heaven Rank, I will definitely help Teacher Zhao forge a Heaven Weapon!”

“Hahaha!”

Zhao Li laughed, “Then I hope you advance soon!”

They exchanged a few compliments. Zhao Tianbing looked at his junior brother strangely. Was he really that optimistic about this guy?

This guy was indeed not weak, and could forge a peak Mysterious Rank weapon. But his junior brother was an incredibly proud person. How could he feel that he would lose to someone else?

Could it be that they were both shameless, so they got along well?

Su Yu didn’t say anything more. He looked at Hu Qi and said with a smile, “Senior Hu, you’re here too!”

Hu Qi smiled, “I came to see the scene of forging a Heaven Weapon. Unfortunately, it’s just a pseudo-Heaven Weapon, not a true Heaven Weapon. As for you, you’ve exceeded my expectations. I thought it would take you at least five years to advance to Earth Rank. It seems like it will be sooner.”

“That’s also thanks to Teacher Zhao and Senior Hu’s cultivation.”

Su Yu exchanged a few pleasantries. Over there, Zhao Li also said with a smile, “Little friend, you can come to me more often when you have time to discuss the art of weapon smithing. Among the weapon smiths in the world, the only strong ones are those few like the Heaven Forging King. Your future achievements will definitely not be below them.”

“Teacher Zhao, please don’t overpraise me.”

Su Yu said with a sigh, “Today, after Teacher Zhao’s guidance, I’m confident in reaching Earth Rank. As for Heaven Rank, it depends on luck!”

“It’s just a matter of time!”

“…”

The two of them sang in harmony, dazzling the crowd. Wasn’t this Zhao Li’s day of breaking through?

How was the limelight stolen by this Cui Lang!

Listening to Zhao Li’s tone, it was as if he was about to say that Cui Lang would soon become the number one weapon smith.

Young master, there’s more to this chapter later, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!

If you like the Ten Thousand Races, please bookmark it: (novelonl.com) The update speed of the Ten Thousand Races on 20 Novel Network is the fastest on the entire network.

Was it really that exaggerated?

Of course, thinking about it in their hearts, no one would question it. A 35-year-old peak Mysterious Rank weapon smith, who could soon advance to Earth Rank, was probably hard to find in the Human Realm at the moment. Perhaps some of the Heaven Forging King’s disciples had reached that level.

But Cui Lang was not a disciple of a Heaven Rank weapon smith. His talent in the art of weapon smithing was indeed extremely strong.
Zhao Li stopped there. He looked at Zhao Tianbing and smiled, which surprised Zhao Tianbing. He wasn’t giving me the cold shoulder this time?

Is my junior brother having a change of heart today?

Looks like he’s in a good mood.

However, he soon realized he was wrong. Zhao Li was still polite to others, but when Marquis Xia came up, Zhao Li’s face darkened, and he didn’t even look at him. He turned around and went into his research institute.

As he left, he threw the Yuan Qi mirror to Old Nie and snorted, “The Great Xia Prefecture is getting addicted to using my Yuan Qi Secret Realm. After using it for so long, they really think it’s their own? I used the Yuan Qi Secret Realm, and someone actually stopped me. Next time, let me use the Xia family’s Kaitian Blade for a few days, and will that be mine too?”

Marquis Xia was stunned. Did I provoke you?

Hearing this, he immediately turned to look at Yuan Qingdong and the others who had just arrived. His face was slightly gloomy, and he frowned, but didn’t say anything.

Zhao Li had already entered the research institute and closed the door directly.

Zhao Tianbing seemed to understand something too. He snorted and said coldly, “Junior brother, if you can’t stay in the Great Xia Prefecture, go to the Great Zhou Prefecture. Your senior brother has some foundation in the Great Zhou Prefecture! The Yuan Qi Secret Realm belongs to my master, your father. Who dares to snatch it?”

Yuan Qingdong didn’t say a word, pretending it wasn’t about him. He only said one sentence, and he knew he shouldn’t have said it.

Offending two top-tier Earth-rank weapon refiners at once is not something to be happy about.

Cui Lang also smiled and said, “Senior Hu, do you think we, the Great Ming Prefecture, can invite Teacher Zhao to be a guest?”

Hu Qi smiled and said, “If Zhao Li is willing to go, the door of the Great Ming Prefecture is open to Zhao Li! Brother Zhao…”

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Tianbing interjected awkwardly, “Senior Hu, you used to call my master Brother Zhao as well, so please change the address and just call him by his name. Call me by my name too, no need to be so polite!”

Awkward!

Have you forgotten?

When my master went to the Great Ming Prefecture, you also called him Brother Zhao, and now you’re calling him Brother Zhao again… It’s too awkward!

Hu Qi was slightly stunned. She was just being polite. Hearing him say this, she glanced at Zhao Tianbing. Is this… implying that I’m old?

She snorted!

Hu Qi said indifferently, “For cultivators, the more accomplished come first. Age is not a problem. What does Clan Leader Zhao think?”

Zhao Tianbing laughed dryly. You say so, I won’t argue with a woman.

Even if the more accomplished come first, you called my master Brother Zhao, and you’re calling his son the same thing. It’s still awkward.

A group of people gathered together, all either Sun-Moon Realm cultivators or Earth-rank weapon refiners.

Su Yu didn’t really stand out among them, but he was calm and composed, not at all awkward. After all, he had reached the peak of the Profound rank, so he naturally had some confidence.

Zhao Tianbing stopped talking about that and interrupted Hu Qi. He quickly looked at Su Yu and smiled, “Little friend Cui has excellent skills and actually received my junior brother’s inheritance. My junior brother is very discerning when it comes to people. Little friend was able to cooperate with my junior brother and refine weapons for so many days. I thank little friend on behalf of my junior brother!”

Su Yu smiled and said, “Clan Leader Zhao is too polite. It’s Teacher Zhao who is teaching me, not me helping Teacher Zhao. I have to thank Teacher Zhao for his guidance…”

Hu Qi interrupted him and scolded with a smile, “You little monkey, aren’t you going to thank me? If I hadn’t taught you the ‘Heavenly Forging Technique’, would you have been able to persist until now? You keep calling him Teacher Zhao, are you planning to marry into the Great Xia Prefecture? You call me Senior Hu. You’ve always been so pragmatic, you little monkey!”

Su Yu’s heart stirred slightly. He laughed dryly and said, “Teacher Hu, how can you say that? I’m just afraid to call you that. In the academy, my cheap teacher is there. If I call you teacher, he’ll get jealous.”

“You little brat!”

Hu Qi scolded with a smile, “You’ve gained a lot from weapon refining this time. Return to the Great Ming Prefecture as soon as possible and advance to become an Earth-rank weapon refiner. We’re all getting old, but you’re still young. Next time you come back, I think you can be the dean of the weapon refining department of the Great Ming Civilization Academy!”

The two of them chatted and laughed for a few words. Zhao Tianbing also smiled and said, “The ‘Heavenly Forging Technique’? In that case, little friend is also a descendant of the Heavenly Forging King. It’s a pity that the Heavenly Forging King didn’t come today. Otherwise, upon seeing little friend, little friend should have joined the Heavenly Forging lineage.”

Hu Qi smiled and said, “In the way of weapon refining, it’s better to walk your own path. Now that Cui Lang has learned the Heavenly Forging Technique and also the Expansion God Art, he should explore and see. Don’t limit himself to one lineage. It’s better for his future!”

The few of them stopped talking about Zhao Li. That guy has a strange temper. Since he ran back, there’s no point in talking about him.

Hu Qi continued, “It’s rare for everyone to get together today. I’m the oldest, so I’ll take the lead. Why don’t we all discuss the art of weapon refining and find a place to chat? Bring your disciples with you. Cui Lang, you refined weapons with Zhao Li this time. With his temper, he probably won’t say much. Can you tell us about the specific process?”

As soon as she said this, seven or eight Earth-rank weapon refiners around them lit up!

It’s too difficult to ask Zhao Li about anything, that guy is too strange.

But Cui Lang was also there!

Now, even Old Chen of the Great Xia Prefecture said with a smile, “Little friend Cui, why don’t we all exchange ideas? In the human realm, besides the Heavenly Forging lineage and the Zhao family’s weapon refining technique, there are still many other weapon refining techniques. Let’s all exchange ideas!”

Earth-rank weapon refiners are almost all Sun-Moon Realm cultivators. Mountain-Sea Realm cultivators are rare.

This place was filled with seven or eight Sun-Moon Realm experts, but now they were all looking at Su Yu expectantly, with eager expressions.

Zhao Tianbing also smiled and said, “Little friend, just like Senior Hu said, this is a rare opportunity. Today, other than the Heavenly Forging King and the Primal Hierarch and a few others, all the Earth-rank weapon refiners near the Great Xia Prefecture have come. Why don’t we have a heart-to-heart talk?”

Hu Qi smiled again and said, “Boy, why aren’t you agreeing! Do we have to beg you? If you agree, we’ll listen. If there are any benefits, we’ll share some with you. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just go to these old guys for help. They’re all pillars of their respective prefectures. Small matters like that can be easily taken care of!”

The others also smiled and said, they were indeed pillars of their respective prefectures.

Earth-rank weapon refiners are respected everywhere.

Old Chen of the Great Xia Prefecture is respected, and even Marquis Xia has to coax and appease him.
Others are about the same.

People like Yuan Qingdong, the invincible descendants and Sun-Moon experts, weren’t really concerned by many. Those few listening on the periphery were almost ignored by these weapon smiths.

Simply put, they had confidence.

They could thrive anywhere. Even the invincible kings of various mansions had to treat them as honored guests.

Someone like Zhao Tianbing could also get along well in front of the three invincibles, showing no discomfort. The Heavenly Smith King even treated the invincibles with indifference, as it was them who sought him, not the other way around.

If Yuan Qingdong’s father, the son of the Great Yuan King, came, he might be able to join the conversation. Yuan Qingdong wasn’t qualified.

Su Yu lowered his head, a smile on his face, but in his heart, he understood that Hu Qi was building momentum and laying the foundation for him.

Seven or eight Earth-tier weapon smiths, along with a large group of Xuan-tier and Huang-tier weapon smiths, swept up weapon smiths from five or six major mansions around them. If they could really help, these people could speak up in front of the invincibles.

Moreover, these people themselves were not weak; almost all of the Earth-tier ones were Sun-Moon realm experts.

“Then this junior will show off his skills, which is difficult to decline. Seniors, why not find a place, and I will treat, inviting all of you to give some guidance…”

“Hahaha, let’s go together…”

The group chatted happily. Marquis Xiahou, seeing them form their own group, felt helpless. He wanted to win over Cui Lang, but these guys formed their own group and ignored him. He was very frustrated.

Over there, Yuan Qingdong and the others also saw this scene. Yuan Qingdong didn’t say anything. He was excluded and even looked down on them with disdain. It didn’t matter; he was used to being snubbed in the Great Xia Mansion.

But the other Sun-Moon experts couldn’t stand it.

The woman laughed and said, “Prefect Zhao, why don’t we join in the fun and listen together…”

Zhao Tianbing turned his head to look at them. Hu Qi said bluntly, “Forget it, you’re not like-minded people. You wouldn’t understand even if we explained. The professionalism is too strong. Participating would be meaningless.”

“…”

The woman gave a dry laugh, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

Yuan Qingdong remained calm. He had guessed this would be the result, so he didn’t say anything. It was clear they didn’t want to bother with them non-weapon smiths.

Yuan Qingdong didn’t care about that. Instead, he looked at Marquis Xiahou and smiled, “Marquis, Zhao Elder has finished forging weapons. When will the Great Xia Mansion start dealing with Feng Qi’s matter?”

Marquis Xiahou glanced at him and said with a faint smile, “No hurry. It’s getting dark. Let’s do it tomorrow!”

“Feng Qi?”

Hu Qi suddenly said, “This matter has caused quite a stir, Mansion Lord Xia. Would you mind if we also go listen tomorrow?”

Note the ‘we’, not ‘me’.

She knew that Su Yu would definitely want to go, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to go rashly. So, they would go openly.

There would definitely be invincibles present at that time.

With a group of weapon smiths present, the invincibles wouldn’t easily investigate them. Offending seven or eight Earth-tier weapon smiths at once was not a wise move, even for an invincible. If they really offended them, would the cultivators in their territory still want someone to help them forge weapons in the future?

Mountain-Sea and Sun-Moon realms all used Earth-tier weapons.

Invincibles didn’t need them, but that didn’t mean others didn’t.

Marquis Xiahou said with a smile, “Of course, Senior Hu has said so. Absolutely no problem. I will await the arrival of all the seniors tomorrow!”

He was also very polite to these weapon smiths.

Some of the other weapon smiths weren’t initially interested, but since Hu Qi had said so, they didn’t mind going to take a look. Zhao Tianbing said with a smile, “Then it’s settled. Tonight, we’ll have a candlelit night talk and continue until tomorrow. We’ll go listen together! I know Feng Qi. I actually met him a few times in the past… Alas, things have become like this, the Great Xia Mansion… is becoming more and more…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, then quickly smiled and said, “When my junior brother stabilizes his realm, I’ll see if I can call him out to share his insights with everyone.”

“Prefect Zhao is too kind. With Prefect Zhao here, tonight’s weapon smithing gathering will definitely be wonderful!”

“…”

The group chatted casually, while Su Yu beckoned to Bai Junsheng not far away and said with a smile, “Little Bai, take us to find a good place to talk and chat. You’re always running around. You should know where the good places are, right?”

Bai Junsheng was depressed!

Little Bai?

Damn it!

We met a few days ago, and you were still calling me junior brother. Now it’s Little Bai.

“I’m not familiar with the Great Xia Mansion…”

He muttered in his heart, but with a group of big shots here, he couldn’t refuse. He said with a dry smile, “I know, I know. I’ll take you seniors there right away.”

With that, he walked out awkwardly. He didn’t care, he would just find a large venue.

Anyway, it was just a group of weapon smiths; they didn’t really care about anything.

Soon, the group left.

There were quite a few Sun-Moon realm experts, and many Mountain-Sea and Soaring Cloud realm experts as well. Su Yu was one of the weaker ones in terms of strength, but his status wasn’t low. At this moment, he was walking behind the Sun-Moon realm experts, on par with those in the Mountain-Sea realm.

…

After they left, the woman next to Yuan Qingdong had an unkind look in her eyes and said in a low voice, “They’re really arrogant enough!”

Yuan Qingdong glanced at her and said indifferently, “Don’t ask for trouble! They’re a bunch of precious babies! They’re honored guests of the Mansion Lords of various mansions. If you don’t want to be blacklisted by the entire weapon smithing world, then endure it. Don’t end up being escorted by your family’s invincible to apologize personally when you’re old. That would be embarrassing!”

Didn’t you see that Marquis Xiahou was ignored but didn’t say anything?

If you’re strong, you have the capital to be arrogant.

Everyone’s in the Sun-Moon realm, but they’re Earth-tier weapon smiths. They’re born a grade higher than you. It’s idiotic to ask for trouble.

He had learned his lesson. It’s best to be low-key when you’re out and about, not in a holy land.

He had been snubbed countless times these days. Did you see me getting angry?

Just endure it!

The people of the various mansions don’t really care about the holy lands. In their eyes, only the invincible realm is worthy of respect. As for the others… If they don’t give you face, there’s nothing you can do.
Just like Zhu Tiandao, let’s just say it, they’re just a bunch of servants!

Generally, it’s the second son or a branch family stationed in the holy grounds. The direct descendants are in the various prefectures. To be honest, those Invincibles naturally lean towards the prefectures more. If you fight with the prefectures and don’t show respect, you won’t end up well.

Having been in the holy grounds for a long time, you really think the two holy grounds are the leaders of the human race. But once you come out, you realize… you’re overthinking it.

Yuan Qingdong sighed in his heart. He didn’t really want to get involved in the public trial of Feng Qi tomorrow, but… he had to get involved. If he did, he might be plagued with trouble.

Not to mention, Hong Tan’s side is a huge problem!

The Great Xia Prefecture’s attitude is also quite clear now, trying to protect the Multiple Divine Runes faction as much as possible. This way, they’ve offended the Great Xia Prefecture badly. Unless Xia Longwu fails to prove his Dao, once he succeeds, there will be trouble in the future!

But even if he fails, the Great Xia King… is also incredibly difficult to deal with. Things might go wrong.

Only after coming out did Yuan Qingdong realize that he had thought too little before. Now, the Great Xia Prefecture is turbulent, and with one wrong step, even if he is a Sun Moon realm expert, even if he is a descendant of an Invincible, he could still fall here.

The Multiple Divine Runes faction involves too many things.

***

On the other side.

Su Yu and a group of weapon smiths entered a large courtyard. Entering the hall, the environment was very nice, fragrant, and the venue was good…

Su Yu smiled on his face, but cursed in his heart!

Bai Junsheng, that idiot, where did he bring them!

This place… Cui Lang would probably like to come here, but the key is, this is a group of weapon smithing masters! You bring them here? I’m speechless!

He didn’t expose it. He didn’t know if the masters knew. Anyway, if they knew, they probably wouldn’t care.

Soon, in the hall, a group of people sat down and discussed.

A group of Earth-Tier weapon smiths, plus Su Yu, all began to talk eloquently. Su Yu’s experience and foundation were not bad now, so he wasn’t afraid to talk with these Earth-Tier smiths. For a time, the host and guests were very happy.

***

At the same time.

In the Great Xia Prefecture, Marquis Xia Hou compiled a file about Cui Lang, looked at it up and down several times, and finally handed the file to Xia Huyou, smiling and saying, “Take a look, see if you find anything.”

Xia Huyou took the file and looked at it for a while, envyingly said, “The people of Great Ming Prefecture really know how to have fun. Cui Lang, his life… is much more colorful than ours!”

“What are you looking at? Did I ask you to look at this?”

Marquis Xia Hou was annoyed. Did I ask you to see how Cui Lang picks up girls?

Xia Huyou chuckled dryly and quickly continued to look. After looking for a while, he rubbed his fat chin and said, “There’s nothing special. However, he was only a Yellow-Tier weapon smith before, and his progress is too fast. He was chased by Senior Cheng Mo these past few years and didn’t dare to come out. Could it be that he gained something from closed-door cultivation?”

He’s at the peak of the Profound-Tier!

Of course, according to some people, Cui Lang was only at the early to mid-stage of the Profound-Tier before. This time, he was able to reach the peak entirely because of Zhao Li’s help.

Old Zhao actually helping an outsider he just met is quite rare.

Xia Huyou looked around and didn’t find anything different.

Marquis Xia Hou said faintly, “Keep an eye on him. It’s not clear whether there’s a problem with this Cui Lang… but many people are eyeing Old Zhao’s Mind Expansion Technique. This guy… is a bit unrestrained, so be careful not to spread the Mind Expansion Technique everywhere.”

Xia Huyou nodded, “Understood. Mind Expansion Technique… Su Yu also knows it. I thought it was good before, but now it seems to be really good stuff. Old Zhao is hard to deal with. If I have the chance, I’ll ask Su Yu if he can teach it to me.”

“Su Yu…”

Marquis Xia Hou was slightly startled and picked up the file again, looking at it for a while.

Suddenly, he said, “Does Su Yu know how to smith weapons?”

“Huh?”

Xia Huyou was at a loss and quickly said, “No, he only learned the Mind Expansion Technique from Old Zhao. He didn’t learn anything else. He’s only been there three or four times, right?”

“Doesn’t know how to smith weapons?”

Marquis Xia Hou tapped on the table and asked, “Do you think Su Yu knows about Feng Qi’s public trial?”

“He’s injured and in closed-door cultivation. He might not know, right?”

Xia Huyou said, his expression strange, “Second Grandfather, do you mean…”

Marquis Xia Hou shook his head, “Just curious. Mind Expansion Technique, Zhao Li, Su Yu, Cui Lang, weapon smithing… Cui Lang suddenly emerged with amazing talent. I was wondering if it has something to do with Su Yu.”

Xia Huyou laughed and said, “Second Grandfather, don’t be so suspicious. This Cui Lang is already a peak Profound-Tier weapon smith…”

“Before that, he was just a low-level Profound-Tier!”

Marquis Xia Hou said lightly, “Su Yu knows the Mind Expansion Technique. If he can study hard for a period of time, with his talent, is it difficult to advance to the Profound-Tier?”

“…”

Xia Huyou shook his head, “No! Where would he get the time to learn? It’s only June now. He’s only been to Great Ming Prefecture for five months. He’s been researching cultivation techniques, cultivating, advancing, challenging Shan Xiong, and then healing…”

As he spoke, Xia Huyou stopped.

It’s not possible, right?

Marquis Xia Hou didn’t say anything and quickly said, “Never mind him. It doesn’t matter whether it is or not!”

There was something else he didn’t say!

When Cui Lang was in Nanyuan, people died in Nanyuan!

And the person who died just happened to be related to Su Yu.

That day, he was wondering if Su Yu sent someone here, or if the Great Ming Prefecture sent someone. Now that he thinks about it… could it be that this guy did it himself?

Su Yu, Cui Lang?

But a Cloud Soaring Realm ninth level expert died!

Cloud Soaring Realm ninth level!

“Fire word divine rune, escaping technique, powerful physical body, will power of the Mountain and Sea Realm…”

Thinking of the information about the murderer sent over that day, Marquis Xia Hou sighed and didn’t say anything else.

Weapon smiths having the Fire word divine rune is normal.

Su Yu knows escaping techniques, he knows that, such as wind and water transformation, including the shadow being studied by Hong Tan and others for many years.

Mind Expansion Technique, Multiple Divine Runes combat techniques, causing some misjudgments is normal.

Marquis Xia Hou closed his eyes, Cui Lang… Su Yu!

He really has a lot of guts!
He really is a genius! He could hardly believe it. Who could become a Xuan-tier peak blacksmith in just a few months? To be honest, he only considered it for a moment. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of Su Yu.

Did Su Yu have time to learn blacksmithing?

And learning blacksmithing, could that get you to the Xuan-tier peak?

If blacksmithing was that simple, the Great Xia Mansion wouldn’t only have one Earth-tier blacksmith!

Of course, now there are two.

Even he, who knew Su Yu quite well, found it hard to believe, let alone others.

Others are still unaware of the common points among the few people from Nanyuan who were killed. Only the Great Xia Mansion knows the full list of those who went to Su Yu’s house.

With several people dead and no clear connection, many people thought someone was trying to cause trouble.

No one considered Su Yu, except for him, who immediately thought of Su Yu.

Coupled with Cui Lang being in Nanyuan that day, he had to connect Cui Lang and Su Yu.

“If Cui Lang is Su Yu, then Old Zhao’s attitude is easily explained. It’s not just a weird temper; this guy knows Su Yu’s identity and is covering for him. And Hu Qi too!”

“So, Hu Qi should also know his identity? Hu Qi, Zhao Li… Who else?”

Marquis Xia Hou looked towards the Cultivation Pavilion. Did that guy guess it?

Would Su Yu returning to the Great Xia Mansion disrupt some plans?

That kid has a bad temper and can’t stand being wronged. Tomorrow’s public trial of Feng Qi will inevitably expose Chen Yong. The Human Realm will certainly define Chen Yong as a traitor, which is a must, unless evidence of several generals’ crimes is provided!

If that happens and Chen Yong becomes a traitor and a criminal, how will Su Yu react?

“He’s weak, but his ability to cause trouble isn’t! Don’t cause me big trouble and ruin our plans!”

Thinking of this, he looked at Xia Huyou and said, “Tomorrow, you go and win over Cui Lang. During the public trial of Feng Qi, you stay by his side!”

“Huh?”

Xia Huyou was still a little dazed. What did his second grandpa mean?

Cui Lang, Su Yu?

Hearing what his second grandpa said, Xia Huyou’s eyes flickered, and he nodded, “I understand! By the way, second grandpa, the three Invincibles are holding a public trial in the Great Xia Mansion. My dad isn’t here, and neither is great-grandpa. Will there be any trouble?”

“No!”

Marquis Xia Hou said with a faint smile, “It’s alright, this is the Great Xia Mansion after all! Your great-grandfather is still alive, not dead! If they cause trouble here, the three Invincibles will have to think carefully. Don’t worry!”

“Okay then!”

Thinking of this, Xia Huyou added, “Second grandpa, should the army be mobilized tomorrow? The three Invincibles might not cause trouble, but others still need to be guarded against. Why not mobilize the Dark Guards and conscript some Sun-Moon and Mountain-Sea realm experts? If things get really unpleasant, just wipe them all out and say they’re remnants of the Myriad Races Sect!”

“…”

Marquis Xia Hou glanced at him silently.

Damn!

This fat kid is ruthless now!

Afraid your dad won’t die fast enough?

“You want to succeed the position early?”

He asked, and Xia Huyou chuckled, “Second grandpa, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? But honestly, being bullied time and again within the Great Xia Mansion, the people below can’t take it anymore. They need to suffer a bit and see how sharp the Great Xia Mansion’s knife still is!”

Marquis Xia Hou leaned back in his chair, smiling, “Our knife is too sharp. Do you think anyone would dare to come to the Great Xia Mansion? The Xia family’s knife, starting with your father, is no longer sharp. Now that your father isn’t here, the Xia family’s knife is a dull knife!”

“A dull knife…”

Xia Huyou pondered, puzzled, “Second grandpa, do you mean…”

Marquis Xia Hou leaned back in his chair, lazily, “Figure it out yourself! How can a dull knife be sharpened?”

“Sharpen it.”

“Sharpen it?” Marquis Xia Hou smiled and didn’t say anything.

Xia Huyou raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a while, nodded, “Understood! Second grandpa, I’ll leave now.”

Understood what?

Marquis Xia Hou didn’t ask, and he didn’t say.

A dull knife can be sharpened, but that’s a clumsy way. Actually, if you kill more people, kill ten thousand, the knife will naturally be sharp!

What kind of knife is the sharpest in the Xia family?

The knife that beheads people!

The knife that kills the Myriad Races Sect members is the sharpest knife in the Great Xia Mansion. Before the knife even falls, the head is off, with too much murderous aura.

Walking out of Marquis Xia Hou’s residence, Xia Huyou looked up at the sky, which was pitch black.

“Hehe…”

Laughing, Xia Huyou grinned, then let it be sealed. Sharpening the knife, it seems too early.

As for whether Cui Lang is Su Yu or not, he was too lazy to guess.

If they meet tomorrow, he’ll know when he sees him.

But tomorrow isn’t a good day, hopefully this guy won’t cause any trouble.
