Chapter 40 – Cen Yue (1/2)

“Puchi!” The well-developed young lady to the side laughed and said with a smile, “Look at him, his face is already red. Little brother, your eyes are really pretty.”

The sweet looking young lady rebuked, “Don't be so noisy, Yuan Yuan. Little brother, you want to take the blacksmith's ranking test?”

Tang Wulin nodded and answered somewhat anxiously, “Yes!”

The sweet young lady said, “Where is your family? Or your teacher?”

Tang Wulin shook his head. “My teacher had me come alone and told me to find someone called Grandmaster Cen Yue.”

When they heard the name Cen Yue, the two young ladies' expressions stiffened and the sweet young lady hastily said, “Please wait a moment then. I'll go ask if Grandmaster Cen Yue is available right now. Have you ever spoken to Grandmaster Cen over the soul communicator?”

Tang Wulin shook his head once again. How could he possibly own a soul communicator!? Although a soul communicator was convenient, the communication fees and the equipment costs were extraordinarily expensive! Even his hometown had only one fixed soul communicator. He was even planning to look for a coin-operated soul communicator to call his mother and father later and report that he was safe and sound.

“Grandmaster Cen, there's a child looking for you. En. That's right, he has really large eyes and is wearing plain clothes,” The sweet looking young lady said as she pressed down on a number to connect to Grandmaster Cen.

After hanging up the communicator, the sweet young lady said to Tang Wulin, “Little brother, Grandmaster Cen has some time right now. Follow me.”

As she said this, she began guiding Tang Wulin to the side of the large hall. The well-developed lady, Yuan Yuan, stuck out her tongue as she watched them leave and said to herself, “I couldn't even tell! The little guy actually knows Grandmaster Cen.”

When the soul elevator's metal doors opened up, Tang Wulin nearly jumped with fright. This was the first time he had ever seen anything like this.

“Come, come here.” The sweet young lady didn't tease him at all. Rather, she gave him a tender smile.

Tang Wulin went over to her side.

The sweet young lady said, “My name is Yun Xiaoling. Grandmaster Cen's office is on the 15th floor. I'll take you to see him and then he will take you to conduct the blacksmith's ranking test.”

“Thank you big sister.” Tang Wulin politely said.

Yun Xiaoling looked at him, her gaze moving up and down, sizing him up. Although this child was wearing extremely plain clothing, he was still very good-looking. Most of all were those big eyes of his, which could even make a girl jealous. Moreover, despite his simplicity, he was extraordinarily courteous, giving others a very good opinion of him.

Ding! The elevator stopped on the 15th floor and the doors opened.

The walls were made of a white metal while the ceiling and floors were white too. Neat and tidy, that was Tang Wulin's first impression.

There were two rooms on both sides of the hall leading out of the elevator.

Yun Xiaoling brought him to one of the doors which had Cen Yue's nameplate on it. She pressed the b.u.t.ton above it.

“Grandmaster Cen, it's Yun Xiaoling. I've brought the child here.”

“En.” A deep voice was heard from the within the room. Then the door opened.

The office was approximately 30 square meters in size with a ma.s.sive wooden desk that took up nearly a quarter of the room's s.p.a.ce. Behind the wooden desk stood a man in his 40's. This man wasn't particularly tall, but he was absolutely well-built. His shoulders were especially wide, with a black jacket resting on his deltoids.

At this moment, he was looking at a design plan laid out on his desk.

“Grandmaster Cen.” Yun Xiaoling softly called out.

“En.” Cen Yue raised his head and looked over.

His gaze immediately fell on Tang Wulin as he looked at him with curious eyes. “You're Mang Tian's disciple?”
