Dragon's Origin

Chapter 270: Caught Up With (Part 1)

Shopkeeper Chen originally didn't want to pay attention to Wang Sheng, but for the sake of his female boss, he reluctantly responded to him. But when he heard Wang Sheng mention Old Tie, his expression changed.

Wang Sheng knows Old Tie? Judging from Wang Sheng's tone, it seems they had some connection before. But if he knows Old Tie, doesn't he know where Old Tie is?

"I came in passing by, originally planning to go directly to Old Tie's place, but after coming here, I thought it would be better to ask Shopkeeper Chen to inform him." Wang Sheng saw Shopkeeper Chen's hesitation and explained with a smile, "I don't know if he's in the workshop, going directly inside would be a bit impolite, please trouble Shopkeeper Chen."

Hearing Wang Sheng mention inside and outside again, Shopkeeper Chen understood that this person really knew Old Tie and had a relationship with him. Recalling what Wang Sheng had just said about breaking a star iron hammer once, Shopkeeper Chen suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard of this matter somewhere.

Immediately, Shopkeeper Chen no longer hesitated, invited Wang Sheng and his companions to sit in the reception room of the shop, served fragrant tea, and then hurried to the Heavenly Craft Workshop.

Before long, Shopkeeper Chen returned to the shop with a smile on his face, cupping his hands at Wang Sheng repeatedly: "So it's a distinguished guest, please forgive my previous impoliteness, please forgive me."

Wang Sheng quickly got up and returned the greeting, his politeness was impeccable, completely different from his casual attitude in front of Lingxu Old Daoist.

"Old Tie and the others happen to have something going on, hearing of the arrival of distinguished guests, they specially invited you to go over." As he spoke, Shopkeeper Chen began to lead the way, inviting Wang Sheng and his companions to go: "Old Tie said that he might need the distinguished guest to comment a few words."

"Oh? What needs commenting?" Wang Sheng asked curiously. Although Mei'er didn't speak, her fluttering eyelashes fully revealed her curiosity. Only Qingling Old Daoist still had that peaceful smiling expression.

"I didn't know it originally, it was just by chance." Shopkeeper Chen's smile was even more exaggerated than Qingling Old Daoist's: "Today, it just so happens that a Grandmaster wants to advance to Great Grandmaster, and he has invited Old Tie and others to judge. Thanks to the distinguished guest, I also have the opportunity to feast my eyes, I'm just tagging along!"

A Grandmaster wants to advance to Great Grandmaster? They actually caught such an important moment? Mei'er's eyes were almost narrowed into a line with laughter. Such an opportunity is not just precious, it's simply once in a lifetime. They actually caught it, great!

Qingling Old Daoist, who was not easily moved, was also excited upon hearing this. No matter what skill it is, reaching the Grandmaster level is remarkable, achieving Great Grandmaster can be said to be eternally famous. The moment of advancement, such a big pie that many people never even dreamed of fell on their heads, it's unbelievable. Taking the initiative to propose to Lingxu Old Ancestor to guide Wang Sheng in distinguishing herbs was simply the most correct decision he had made in recent years.

Shopkeeper Chen led the way, walking through the small streets and alleys inside the Heavenly Craft Workshop, and soon came to the door of a courtyard where the sound of clanging was constant. Shopkeeper Chen stepped forward and gently knocked on the knocker, and someone quickly opened the door and welcomed the four in.

After entering and passing through a courtyard, they arrived at a spacious place. The sound of clanging was coming from here. After entering, Wang Sheng saw Old Tie at a glance.

Different from when he last saw Old Tie, Old Tie seemed even more energetic. Perhaps because of the improvement in his cultivation, he looked like he was a few years younger. There were a dozen or so old men and women sitting around the yard, and four or five middle-aged people who looked relatively younger were watching the middle-aged man who was constantly hammering the iron ingot.

Among the crowd sitting around, Wang Sheng also saw Master Lu. Seeing someone coming in, except for the one in the middle forging iron, the eyes of the outer circle of old men and women and several middle-aged people swept over.

"Little assassin, you're here?" Old Tie saw Wang Sheng at a glance. Although Wang Sheng was now using his original face, not the assassin mask of Worry-Free City, Old Tie recognized him instantly.

People's faces can change, but their aura and temperament will not change. Especially since Shopkeeper Chen had come to report once before, recognizing Wang Sheng was effortless.

Wang Sheng hurriedly saluted, Old Tie was about to ask Wang Sheng to sit down, but Master Lu called Wang Sheng over. Wang Sheng could only salute Old Tie, and then led the three towards Master Lu, saluting again.

In terms of friendship, Old Tie and Wang Sheng only met once, Wang Sheng helped Old Tie figure out a tangled problem which led to Old Tie's advancement. But Master Lu has given Wang Sheng guidance, although he didn't formally become his apprentice, he had the substance of a master-disciple relationship, so Wang Sheng could only listen to Master Lu first.

Old Tie didn't mind this, anyway, it was good that the person had come. Among the onlookers, Wang Sheng saw several people who had guarded Old Tie's spiritual energy quenching with him last time he came to the Heavenly Craft Workshop, and later ate and chatted together. They all saluted from afar, but didn't nag. Now someone is advancing to Great Grandmaster, it's not a place for exchanging pleasantries.

However, Mei'er was already excited. So many old men and women greeted Wang Sheng, obviously it wasn't false that Wang Sheng said he knew several Great Grandmasters. Thinking of the future glory of Qianshengyuan, Mei'er trembled with excitement.

Feeling the trembling of the jade beauty beside him, Wang Sheng reached out and held Mei'er's small hand to help her calm down first. This was just meeting them, it shouldn't be this exciting, right? Wang Sheng thought so normally, but he didn't expect the admiration and respect people in this world had for Great Grandmasters.

There was no doubt that these people were Great Grandmasters. There was no need to look at anything else, just looking at Shopkeeper Chen's face, which was almost as excited as Mei'er's, was enough to tell. Don't look at Shopkeeper Chen as the manager of Linglong Pavilion to the outside world, but he's not always qualified to meet Great Grandmasters. In terms of the fanaticism of chasing stars, Shopkeeper Chen was even more exaggerated than Qingling Old Daoist. Qingling Old Daoist only chased one, but Shopkeeper Chen wished that everyone in the yard would give him an autograph.

The commotion of Wang Sheng and his companions entering quickly disappeared after they sat down and observed. Everyone's attention was once again focused on the middle-aged man.

This should be the Grandmaster who is about to advance to Great Grandmaster. Just looking at his focused attention on his work, without even glancing at Wang Sheng and the others, they knew that this Grandmaster was definitely a well-deserved Grandmaster. Just this seriousness alone was worthy of being called a Grandmaster.

After hammering for a while, the middle-aged Grandmaster put the iron ingot back into the furnace to heat it up again, then raised his head and saw that there were several more people, including two young people, one of whom was a veiled woman, and his expression changed immediately.

"Old Tie, it's not appropriate for outsiders to come to my advancement assessment, right?" The middle-aged blacksmith was not afraid of offending Old Tie and questioned him face to face.
