Since Jun Xie’s strength has yet to be improved to a great level, he must first create several weapons for him to defend himself. At the very least, the projectile weapons he has must be able to penetrate the defensive strength of a Jade Xuan expert’s body. This was also Jun Xie’s minimum requirement! However, normal iron would not be sufficient in this regard.
Jun Xie continued forward with his head lowered as he made his way to the “Divine Weapons Store”. In order to acquire high quality materials for his self-made flying knives, the “Divine Weapons Store” may be the only place within Tianxiang Kingdom where he could find it. By Jun Xie’s calculations, the best material available here would be mysterious iron; cold iron would be an acceptable replacement if need be. If all else fails, then he would need to resort to fine steel.
After parting ways with Jun Xie, Eldest Young Master Tang, Tang Yuan excitedly rushed back home. Once he arrived, he immediately requested an audience with his grandfather.
For the past few days, Grandfather Tang had been feeling extremely irritable. In addition to having his one pride and joy, the Xuan Core stolen, there was also no news or leads regarding the case. This made him even more furious. His mind kept thinking back towards Tang Yuan. If not for this debauchee brat’s mess with the gambling incident, this would never have happened. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became. He eventually decided to order the servants to summon Tang Yuan here so that he can vent out his fury.
Just as he was calling out, a servant suddenly came in to report that the Eldest Young Master was seeking an audience. He became surprised. Disregarding the current situation, meeting this brat was hard even on normal days. These days, Tang Yuan would hide as much as he could, and yet he suddenly had the guts to come forward himself? Could it be that he has gone mad from the scolding? “Bring him in!” After thinking for a bit, he added. “Bring in the iron abacus!”
Right after he entered, the first thing Tang Yuan saw was the iron abacus, causing his face to turn bitter.
“What kind of vile problem is it this time?” Grandfather Tang was very angry! As he asked, his chin indicated the iron abacus, signalling for Tang Yuan to kneel on it before saying anything. How could he not understand his own grandson? The only reason Tang Yuan would request to meet him would be if he had caused an insoluble problem! If not for this, Tang Yuan would never ever come to him!
Tang Yuan’s face were filled with bitterness as he sadly knelt down, his belly falling all the way to the ground, causing a clear sound to be heard.
“What happened?” Looking at the belly of his grandson reaching the ground, he found himself unable to become angry. “Would it hurt you to lose some weight? Or have you resigned yourself to becoming a pig?”
Tang Yuan was originally excited as he thought of making a huge contribution. But after receiving such a kind of treatment, he became dejected. Looking at his own belly, he solemnly replied. “It is not like I wanted to be this fat… having received your scolding for the past few days, I could not even eat properly. But, even if I only drink water…”
“Enough! Just tell me why you came here!” Grandfather Tang felt angry and yet felt like laughing. “Don’t talk nonsense, just what kind of trouble did you cause this time?”
“Grandpa, I…” Tang Yuan suddenly became excited as he thought of what Jun Moxie said about him being free from this miserable circumstance. Unable to help himself, he stood up, ignoring the furious expression on his grandfather’s face. “Grandpa, I think I may have found a lead on the stolen Xuan Core.”
“Oh?” Grandfather Tang who was originally about to become enraged and planned to have Tang Yuan kneel down again became surprised. His eyes bulged widely as he ignored what happened earlier. “Quick, spit out what you know.”
