Chapter 447 (2/2)

“It’s ready? I was about to get a new one.” Shao Xuan was overjoyed. His sword was chipped and he needed a new one.

He thought about how great it’d be if he had top-grade rock here. He could make more tools and grind this blade. Unfortunately, other than the good rocks at the city wall, he didn’t see any good materials.

“I’ve settled my business so I can accompany you. Eh, what happened to your sword? You fought someone at the field?” Black Bear turned to look at Guang Yi’s sword. There were marks on it too.

A sword with marks like that showed that it was no small scuffle. A few more hits and this blade would snap.

Shao Xuan explained what happened to Black Bear.

Balck Bear was silent, his smile disappeared. “Shao Xuan, I advise you both to leave King City as soon as possible. Recently, the Linlu tribe had already moved almost everyone from their tribe here. Once they settle, I’m worried they’ll attack you. Shao Xuan, you don’t know that when you were at the Golden Grains fields, some of my men betrayed us. If it weren’t for the tight security, your stuff would’ve been stolen already. Especially in the grain store and underground chambers. Your grains are there.”

“All this for the Thousand Grain Gold?!” said Guang Yi in a low voice.

“No, not really. That’s just one of the reasons. More importantly, you both have become targets. A lot more things will happen to you,” said Black Bear.

It was no good targeting Black Bear but there were more opportunities to attack Shao Xuan. He did not have his own territory here and did not have an army.

“Alright, I understand.” He had already thought of this during the robbery. After meeting Gongjia Heng and learning about Thousand Grain Gold, it was time to leave. It was dangerous for him to stay.

“Why don’t you leave tomorrow? Maoda intended to leave in three days but since this happened, it’s best you all leave earlier,” said Black Bear.

“Thank you!”

“You don’t have to thank me. Old Black borrowed your name to get Golden Grains and even met Master Heng. You helped a lot.” Black Bear let out a guffaw.

When he went to get the sword, Gongjia Heng was working in the forging room so Shao Xuan did not see him. However, he already instructed his apprentice to bring over the sword, knife and more axes.

At the Flaming Horn tribe, Gongjia Heng had heard that the hunters liked axes. That was why he got his apprentices to make some axes for them.

Shao Xuan took the sword and unwrapped the cloth. The sword was golden, though the colour was darker than the previous. However, Shao Xuan felt like it was a lot sharper. The patterns on the sword were different. Within the golden sword, the silver etchings shone like a white flame.

He tossed a piece of wood the apprentice passed to him and could easily chop it in half.

“Do you want to try with a rock?” asked the apprentice excitedly.

“It’s fine, I already know.” Shao Xuan kept the sword. After its modifications, it might still be not easy to split middle to top-grade rocks. Even if the sword did not chip, it would still affect the blade. And that could lead to future problems like breaking.

If he had the chance, Shao Xuan wanted to make a sword for himself. However, the tribe’s core seed was on the other side of the ocean and the seeds here were all controlled by the great six. The Gongjia family would never let outsiders benefit from it.

He sighed, wondering when he could return. Shao Xuan kept his sword and turned to Guang Yi, also testing his blade.

“How is it?”

Guang Yi was glowing. “It’s awesome!”

“Help me thank Master Heng. Tell him that the next time I have something good, I’ll get the Black Bear people to bring it here,” said Shao Xuan to the apprentice.

Black Bear was happy to hear this. He was basically the line connecting Flaming Horn and Gongjia Heng now, and he was happy to be the messenger. He would benefit greatly from this!

After taking his stuff and thanking them, Shao Xuan did not stay. They had to leave tomorrow.

When he left the Gongjia residence, Ji Fang was coincidentally here.

Shao Xuan greeted him and continued walking. They weren’t close anyway. However, Ji Fang stopped him.

“Wait.” Ji Fang turned around. “If you have no other business, do not stay at King City any longer.”
