53 Meeting Xiao Yi Once More (2/2)
It would appear that Li You Ran’s plans would be foiled yet again. Without any rhyme or reason, his plans would be torn apart. All because of two debauchees, one who could not tolerate the sinful existence of Northern City Clan, while the other who had just wanted to get rid of his miserable situation at home. These two selfish debauchees had somehow managed to destroy a plan that was meticulously thought up by Li You Ran...
Is this what Heaven’s will is like?
Jun Mo Xie proceeded slowly along the way. The Divine Weapons Store was just ahead. Before the shop was a luxurious carriage bearing a crest with two crossed swords!
This was the special crest belonging only to the Dugu Family! Someone from the Dugu Family was here!
Jun Mo Xie was shocked but did not pay it any attention as he slowly strode inside. If this was the original debauchee, Jun Mo Xie, he would not dare to cross paths with a member of the Dugu Family. However, this Jun Mo Xie was different! What does he need to fear from the Dugu Family?
”Dear Young Master, what kind of weapon are you looking for?” As he entered the shop, a middle-aged man came forth. There was no small number of Young Masters like Jun Mo Xie within the city. All of them favored the habit of carrying a magnificent looking sword. However, these swords would only have the purpose as a decorative item with no real ability to kill. Naturally, these weapons had no real practicality.
”I am not here to buy ready-made weapons. I am here to inquire; do you have the cold iron for sale? Money is not an issue!” Jun Mo Xie laughed out, portraying a look of wealth and power.
The man’s eyes flashed as he thought to himself: I thought this kid was just a debauchee. Could it be that he is actually an experienced professional? I cannot afford to make this mistake! He appraised Jun Mo Xie once more before replying.
”It turns out that Young Master here is a professional. However, our shop currently does not have any cold iron, as it is something too hard to procure normally. Would a Hundred Tempered Steel Iron suffice instead?”
Jun Mo Xie chuckled and replied.
”If it has truly been tempered a hundred times… then it would suffice, however, this Hundred Tempered Steel Iron… has it truly been tempered a hundred times?”
The middle-aged man’s face showed an awkward expression of embarrassment.
”Young Master here is a true professional. Although my shop’s Hundred Tempered Iron has only been tempered around ten times, the quality is indeed above the norm. Even if it is to be compared to others around the world, it can be considered one of the best.”
”Ten times… I understand. In that case, what about Mysterious Iron? Do you have any?” Jun Mo Xie sighed. How terrible! Could the technology of this world be lacking by ten thousand years as compared to Earth? Putting his hopes into their forging methods would be hopeless. As of right now, all he could do was hope to find some special metals! When it comes to special metals, the Mysterious Iron was the best!
”There is none in this shop...” The middle-aged man wiped his sweat. Why was this man asking for all sorts of materials that were hard to procure? He suddenly remembered something. ”But a few days ago, we received a piece of Meteoric Iron. Would that be good enough?”
”Meteoric Iron?!” Jun Mo Xie’s eyes lit up. ”Let’s me go and take a look!”
When asking for the Mysterious Iron back then, Jun Mo Xie was only hoping for a ”what if”. He had fully expected there to be none. Unexpectedly, they had managed to have the Meteoric Iron! Even though the Mysterious Iron was rare, the rarity of the Meteoric Iron was even higher. It seemed that his luck was quite good!
Jun Mo Xie followed the middle-aged man through the storeroom as they walked into the store behind the shop. Before they had even reached the storeroom, a clear voice could be heard from within. ”Excellent! I want this Meteoric Iron.”
The owner of the voice was someone that Jun Mo Xie had feared the most – Dugu Xiao Yi of the Dugu Family!
Why am I always bumping into her? How frightening!
Jun Mo Xie’s heart started beating hurriedly; he quickly stepped through the door. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he quickly opened his mouth. ”Hahaha… Miss Dugu, I did not expect that we would meet again in such a place. This must truly be fate.”
”It is you? Jun Mo Xie?” Dugu Xiao Yi turned around, her eyes sparkled as she straightened her chest. ”Jun Mo Xie, you are far too irregular. Why is it that I would end up meeting you no matter where I go, you are just like a clingy ghost! How strange!” Suddenly, she jumped, pushing her face before Jun Mo Xie, asking viciously. ”Jun Mo Xie, you are not stalking me on purpose, are you?”
