”Interesting. This old man has forged countless weapons in his life, but I have never seen a weapon that I am unable to create.” You can go ahead and call first, and I'll name a price when the finished product is out. ”

Elder Iron's lifelong wish was to forge out all the weapons in the world. Now that someone had suddenly come looking for him but not for the sake of forging the weapons, although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, there was also a trace of anticipation.

”Alright, old man, lead the way!”

Bai Zhixi saw that the old man did not believe that you could forge a weapon and did not point it out. She had used her actions to prove that she had gained the approval of others.

”Let's go!”

With that said, he waved his hand towards the door. Soon, a man who looked like a waiter came out and pushed him towards the door.

”Old man, you …”

From the moment Bai Zhixi entered the room, he had been observing the room and talking to the old man. He had not realised that the old man's legs were actually convenient.

”What's wrong? Do you not believe that a person like me can fight a weapon?”

Elder Iron's eyes flashed as he rubbed his legs, but he calmed down in an instant. But Bai Zhixi found out, and thought that he mentioned someone else's sore spot, causing them to think of something sad. He awkwardly stood there.

”Old man, I didn't mean that. ”I just thought that you could forge iron for someone else even though you are acting in such a manner. That spirit of yours is worthy of respect and admiration.”

Although his life was not as good as expected, but to be able to support himself through his own hard work. Bai Zhixi admired this kind of person, and his good impression of Elder Iron increased by another level.

”Hey, where is he? He had to find a job to support his family. Forging weapons is the greatest wish of my life. I must learn to forge weapons in my lifetime. As an old man, I don't like to be condescended to others. The best thing to do is to be the best, the best in the world. Little miss, if you don't mind, please call me Elder Tie. ”

Elder Iron looked at her. The aura he exuded was different from that of an ordinary girl, possessing an awe-inspiring aura. Furthermore, she had broken all the traps that he had discovered after dozens of years of research. Who would have thought that this girl would break it with just a single glance? Who was her teacher and what sect did she come from? Which family's daughter was she?

The more Elder Iron saw, the more satisfied he became.

”Elder Iron, I quite agree with your words.” Humans must have a goal, and they must strive to achieve it. Only then would their lives not be in vain. If you don't mind, you can call me Lady Liu. ”

Bai Zhixi smiled, feeling very happy in his heart. The reason Elder Tie could tell him his name was a form of acknowledgement towards him. In this world, one must have a few friends. Although there was a huge difference in age between Elder Iron and her, it was still a form of fate that they shared the same view of life.

”Look, here it is.”

”Elder Tie brought them to a stop in front of the stone door built on top of the mountain. He saw the waiter push him towards the stone door on the right side, lightly pressing on the protruding tiger head and forcefully twisting it.” Kacha. The stone door was instantly opened.

Elder Tie signalled for them to follow closely. There must be more traps hidden inside, so he couldn't help but to reach out and pull Lan Yi who was behind him. This caused Lan Yi to not know whether to laugh or cry.

Each part of the winding corridor had different mechanisms. The deeper they went, the more spacious it became. It was not as frightening and pitch-black as they imagined it to be. It was instead brightly lit, with the cave extremely flat. It was as if there was no way anyone could lead them into such a huge underground palace, and that they would die without a doubt.

After a long time, the rumbling sound of a rotating machine came closer and closer. The sound alone was terrifying. One could only imagine how many machines were operating.

”Miss Liu, I usually forge iron at the platform up ahead. Miss can go there and fight your weapons. I and the waiter will wait here.”

Elder Tie stopped at a bright and spacious area, pointed at an empty area in front of him and said to Bai Zhixi. He was very curious as to why a little girl could make weapons.

”Wow, Elder Tie, I didn't think that you would have such a miraculous place, it's practically a paradise on earth. I am using your tools to make jewelry today, not the weapon you are talking about. This piece of jewelry is very special, but it means a lot to me. ”Thus, it is not that I do not believe in your skills, but rather, I want to make it myself. It will be more valuable.”

She knew that the reason why Thistle had agreed to let her come to her secret base was because of what he had done. But she didn't want to lie to Elder Iron and could only tell him the truth. She only hoped that Elder Iron wouldn't have any thoughts in his heart.

She looked around at the design of the mechanism and the various forging tools, and was amazed. Earlier, she thought that the ones outside were just there, but she didn't expect that they were just there to hide from the eyes of the onlookers. The real quality of the goods was hidden in a place that no one could think of.

”What?” ”Lending me some tools is a thug's thing, you're not joking with me!”

Elder Iron looked at her with a joking expression, seeming as if he would scold her if she nodded.

But Bai Zhixi really nodded at him, causing his lungs to explode in anger. This girl was too scheming. It would be an insult to his reputation as a master craftsman if she were to tell him outside that she would never be allowed into this place.

”Elder Iron, don't be angry.” I want to make jewelry that only you can make. ”You wait here for me. After I finish doing it and show it to you, it won't be too late for you to scold me again.”

Seeing Elder Tie's expression as if he was going to eat someone, Bai Zhixi knew that he was angry. There was no helping it, she had to ask around for a long time before finding a suitable place to do what she wanted. She couldn't let Elder Iron kick her out.

”Hmph, I will wait here. Let's see what kind of treasures you can make. If you can't answer my request, the fee will be very high. ”
