C183 Gao Tian Country
Even if Star Moon Holy Lord were to make a move, he wouldn't be able to shake the Tieling City!
Su Ze said solemnly to Old Man Wanshou, "Big brother Shou, about this, I -"
"No need to talk about favors, no need to talk about anything else." Old Man Wanshou said, "I will only say one thing. From today onwards, we are brothers!"
"That's right, we are brothers!" Su Ze remembered Old Man Wanshou's friendship in his heart. He understood that he had gained a big brother today.
Another two days passed, and the Artefact-crafting Conference of the Heavenly State would begin one day. Su Ze bid farewell to Old Man Wanshou and rode on the 30 meter long Star Swallowing Night Crow, heading straight to the Heavenly State.
After watching them leave, Old Man Wanshou also ordered people to make some preparations. After arranging all the matters in the Changqing Country, they would head to the Tieling City.
He did what he said. It was definitely not because his sworn brother was hot-headed that he decided to go to Tieling City and help Su Ze guard it.
The Star Swallowing Night Crow flew extremely fast. In half a day's time, they had already arrived a thousand miles away.
After coming down from the Star Swallowing Night Crow, it was outside the capital city of Heavenly State, Wancheng. The Star Swallowing Night Crow turned into a crow and stopped on Su Ze's shoulder. Xiang Yongming and Ai Xiaoyu followed behind Su Ze.
"It's like a dream... Master, your Spirit Beast is really powerful!" Ai Xiaoyu said with a surprised expression, "In just half a day, you have gone from the Longevity Villa of Changqing Country to the Wancheng of the Heavenly State!"
Xiang Yongming said coldly from the side, "Then why don't you have some more dreams."
Su Ze accepted this suspicious and hostile disciple because it was interesting. Although Xiang Yongming was not as perceptive as Su Ze to confirm Ai Xiaoyu's problem, he was very sure that this girl who pretended to be pitiful would not be loyal.
To Xiang Yongming, this was enough as a reason to be hostile to Ai Xiaoyu. Even if it was in front of Su Ze, he would not give Ai Xiaoyu any face.
Of course, Ai Xiaoyu was not made of wood. She also had her own feelings. When she heard Xiang Yongming's words, she revealed an angry expression. "You..."
Su Ze said faintly, "Alright, no need to argue."
"Xiang Yongming, prepare well. The weapons refining assembly will begin tomorrow, right? Don't think too much. Tomorrow, the weapons refining exchange may even compare with the weapon refining standards of the same kind."
Xiang Yongming nodded silently.
"Ai Xiaoyu, when I called brother Old Man Wanshou earlier, I forgot to ask you. How is that seventh generation grandson of Old Man Wanshou, Wan Qingsong, getting along with you?" Su Ze asked Ai Xiaoyu again.
Ai Xiaoyu's face was a little ugly, and she said, "He pestered me so much that I was very annoyed, and he was clumsy and funny. I said the food was good, so he asked people to make a lot of food with me. Do you think I am a pig?"
"He also asked me if I liked a man. I told him that I was a child bride of an old farmer, but I didn't scare him away and actually believed him. He even advised me not to be sad about the past and want to pester me again. Before I left this time, I told him clearly that I asked him not to bother me again! "
Su Ze looked at Xiang Yongming. Xiang Yongming also nodded with a smile in his eyes. He paid attention to Ai Xiaoyu's movements and prevented her from poisoning him. Therefore, he took all of this into his eyes.
"En, well done." Su Ze praised Ai Xiaoyu, "If he pesters you again next time, I will slap him on your behalf. Anyway, I am the sworn brother of his family's old ancestor. It would be a waste to slap him."
Ai Xiaoyu originally thought that Su Ze would not think for her, but when she heard these words, she felt flattered.
"Master, you are willing to help me?"
"I am not helping you, but helping the right side." Su Ze said, "There's no reason for a man to be so obsessed with love. A woman should accept it. It's not a good thing for a man to be stubborn until he accepts it."
"You have repeatedly rejected Wan Qingsong. Although you have let this guy who doesn't know how to flirt hit a wall, it's also a good thing for you to protect yourself and him. If he continues to pester you, the man's self-reliance will be gone. He deserves to be slapped by me."
"That's right, master." Ai Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "I just don't like him!"
Su Ze looked at her and smiled. "Not bad. You even learned to act spoiled with your master?"
Ai Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, as if she was struck by lightning.
Unknowingly, she had become closer to Su Ze.
No, no, this was wrong!
She forcefully suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and made a deliberately distant smile towards Su Ze. "Master really knows how to make fun of people. I am just acting spoiled..."
It was a natural expression just now, but now it was a very stiff and deliberate smile. Even Xiang Yongming could see it.
Su Ze didn't say anything else. He walked into Wancheng with Xiang Yongming and Ai Xiaoyu.
Currently, the Wancheng was bustling and crowded.
In the past, the warriors had heard that the Ancient Martial Cultivator Remains was going to the Tieling City. In addition to the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, Holy Son's competition had created the prosperity of the Tieling City. The current Wancheng was the same because of the weapon forging competition. It was just that there were slightly more Artifact Refiner among the warriors.
When they walked into Wancheng, there were also storytellers who thought they were well-informed about the various things that happened in Tieling City. Although the things that happened were probably true, the details were always a little out of place.
For example, how Su Ze killed Second Palace Holy Son from the Star Moon Holy Land, how he bravely took the first place on the Hidden Dragon Rank, and what kind of Celestial Rank spirit artifact was found in the Ancient Martial Cultivator Remains that made people drool.
And the result of the competition in the Three Great Holy Lands, how did Su Ze kill the elder of the Star Moon Holy Land, Zhao Liji?
Each and every one of them was like a legendary story. When Su Ze looked back, he found it very strange.
Previously, when he went to the imperial court and Ji Kingdom, these things had also been spread among the martial artists. Most of them had been spread in a strange way, and the feeling of believing was shocking. He listened to it in disbelief and laughed. As for the Changqing Country, there was no such thing that could be spread. This was also the reason why Wan Qingsong and Old Man Wanshou didn't know about Su Ze's reputation and the situation in Tieling City. They had never heard of any rumors.
For example, the Hidden Dragon Ranking, because Su Ze easily climbed to the top and did not deliberately spread his name, was not very famous among those Martial Cultivator of Acquired Stage. It had a greater impact on Innate Stage and Soul Separation Stage warriors.
However, most of the warriors in the world were Martial Cultivator of Acquired Stage, so it was not a big deal.
After smiling and listening to some rumors and ridiculous stories about "Young Master Suze," Su Ze, Xiang Yongming, and Ai Xiaoyu found that they could not find a place to stay for a while.
Because of the Artifact Refiner and warriors gathered at the Artefact-crafting Conference, the inns in the city were already full. There were no empty rooms.
Helpless, Xiang Yongming found the assembly and used his Artifact Refiner identity to ask for a small courtyard. Only then did he stay.
Early in the morning of the next day, gongs and drums filled the sky, and it was a hubbub of voices.
The Artefact-crafting Meeting was about to begin.
