"Hey, by the way, what's your full name, Xiao Chen?"
After bidding farewell, Xiao Chen still stepped onto Chen Tianyi's flying sword and followed the two of them towards Mount Longhu. With some free time, Hu Ke'er asked out of curiosity.
"I still don't know your specific situation!"
"Uh... My name is Chen Tie. I'm my master's disciple."
What does it mean to be just the master's disciple?
Sure enough, he's really a bit of a dolt! But he's so tall at just sixteen. I really wonder what he's been eating!
And this name is too straightforward. Most likely it was given by that blacksmith uncle. It sounds so ugly!
"Do you have any other relationship with your master?"
Hu Ke'er asked casually.
"Other relationship?"
Chen Tie frowned, looking puzzled.
"Well, for example, are you your master's son?"
Hu Ke'er gave an example.
"I'm not my master's son. I was picked up by my master. I've been an orphan since I was a child. At that time, I helped my master watch the bellows while he was forging iron, and he would give me white flour steamed buns. That's how I've always stayed by my master's side!"
"I see!"
After hearing the young man's answer, Hu Ke'er lost interest in the relationship between Chen Tie and his master.
"Senior brother, let's build a blacksmith shop for Chen Tie after we get to Mount Longhu."
"It's no problem to build a blacksmith shop, but based on Chen Tie's current situation, he may not be able to join our Mount Longhu sect."
Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Junior sister, you just joined our sect. You should still remember the rules for joining Mount Longhu, right?"
"Um..."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er just realized that although she and Chen Tianyi had promised the old blacksmith to take Chen Tie to join Mount Longhu, Mount Longhu was not some ordinary sect. One had to pass a test to join. So now they simply couldn't take Chen Tie up the mountain.
"What should we do then? We've already promised the old blacksmith. We can't go back on our word now."
Hu Ke'er asked anxiously.
Now it was even impossible for them to let Chen Tie take the entrance test, because the entrance test was held only once every certain period of time. If Chen Tie wanted to take the test, he would have to wait for a long time!
"Then we can only ask Brother Chen Tie to suffer a bit for the time being."
Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Hey? Senior brother, are you going to take him up the mountain secretly?"
"How could that be!"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi shook his head repeatedly.
"There are so many senior brothers and sisters on Mount Longhu. If they get serious, they can tell even a single hair apart."
"Really? That's so scary. So you're going to leave Chen Tie behind?"
Thinking of what Chen Tianyi had just said about making Chen Tie suffer, Hu Ke'er exclaimed in surprise.
"Senior brother, if you're going to leave Chen Tie behind, I won't agree. We just promised that blacksmith uncle. We can't go back on our word!"
"Junior sister, don't be so excited. I didn't say I was going to leave Chen Tie behind. We just can't take him up the mountain for the time being. So I plan to let him stay at the foot of Mount Longhu for the time being. There's a waterfall there, which will make quenching much more convenient!"
Chen Tianyi explained.
"Um, I see. I have no objection to this, but I don't know what Chen Tie thinks..."
As Hu Ke'er said this, she glanced at Chen Tie.
"I'm okay with it. As long as it's safe and reliable, it doesn't matter where I forge iron!"
Chen Tie patted his chest and said.
"Okay. There's a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain. It's a place where my master and I used to stay. I'll let you use it for the time being."
After Chen Tianyi finished speaking, the flying sword suddenly accelerated. Before long, they arrived in front of the small wooden house he had mentioned.
"Um, it's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the spiritual energy is abundant. This place is really nice!"
Seeing the delicate small wooden house in front of him, Chen Tie immediately rushed forward in a hurry, looking around while whispering softly.
"Of course. You don't even know whose secret base this is. If it weren't for you, no one would know the location of this base!"
Chen Tianyi said proudly.
"Anyway, don't touch things that aren't yours. Just find a guest room and live by yourself!"
"Okay."
Chen Tie nodded in agreement and then bid farewell to the two of them.
But before saying goodbye, Hu Ke'er still asked Chen Tie to forge more molds.
"Okay, senior brother, let's go back!"
By the time Hu Ke'er had told Chen Tie all the things he needed to pay attention to, it was already very late. Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi quickly grabbed her and headed back to the sect.
"Clang!"
Before long, as Chen Tianyi and Hu Ke'er landed in the center of the sect, two young men in Taoist robes immediately rushed out and blocked their way.
"Are you Chen Tianyi and Hu Ke'er?"
The young man in Taoist robe at the door actually recognized their identities at a glance.
"Yes, it's us!"
Chen Tianyi didn't expect himself to be so popular. There were already people admiring him so soon! He had only helped his junior sister make some super - powerful weapons. Had the news spread so fast?
"Arrest them!"
"Hey hey hey?"
Chen Tianyi, who had been immersed in joy just a second ago, was immediately stunned.
"Why are you arresting us? We reported our going down the mountain in advance!"
"Humph, don't you know about the incident in the spiritual stone mine?"
The guard who came to arrest them snorted and asked.
"Uh, what incident?"
Seeing Hu Ke'er's innocent look, Chen Tianyi quickly asked.
"There was a collapse accident in the spiritual stone refining factory. According to the supervisor senior uncle, it was you two who told her to dig out the high - concentration spiritual stones on top, which led to this."
"What? How could this happen!"
Hearing what the other side said, Hu Ke'er was completely confused. She was sure she hadn't told them to dig out so many spiritual stones!
Now that such a collapse accident had happened, Hu Ke'er didn't know what to do for a moment!
"It's okay, junior sister. Even if we told them to dig, we're not responsible, because the people who were digging the spiritual stones had nothing to do with us at that time!"
"Uh, but..."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er still looked worried.
"It's okay. My master is very protective. Even if we really have to take responsibility, it's okay. Our master will protect us!"
"Um, if that's the case, I don't really care. I'll just wait for your master to come and rescue us then~"
Seeing the guards surrounding them, Hu Ke'er sighed. Sure enough, cultivation was far more difficult than she had imagined!
