"Then we're off. Little Blacksmith, we'll leave this to you. We'll be back soon!"
"Okay~"
The little blacksmith replied, and then saw Hu Ke'er standing on Chen Tianyi's flying sword, flying away into the distance.
"Senior brother, you're flying so fast this time!"
Feeling the oncoming wind fluttering her sleeves, Hu Ke'er couldn't help but grab Chen Tianyi's clothes.
"It's okay. Aren't we in a hurry to take you to see the master-uncle?"
After saying that, the two stepped on their flying swords and rushed into the thick clouds.
"You don't have to fly this fast. This speed is almost as fast as an airplane..."
Hu Ke'er complained.
"Flying chicken? What kind of chicken is that? Can it fly very fast?"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi also asked in confusion.
"It's not a chicken. It can fly quite fast. Anyway, it's a bit faster than your sword flight."
"Eh? Does that airplane need spiritual energy?"
"Well, in my hometown, airplanes don't need spiritual energy. But they need to be refueled."
"Refueled?"
Chen Tianyi and Hu Ke'er chatted idly.
"Yeah. The power for the airplane's flight doesn't come from spiritual power, but from a kind of energy that can raise the temperature when burned."
Afraid that she couldn't explain clearly, Hu Ke'er tried to use more colloquial language to explain to Chen Tianyi.
"I see... Then can you make an airplane later, little junior sister?"
"Well, I'm afraid I can't."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er quickly shook her head.
Although she was a weapon maker, she wasn't an airplane maker. This kind of mechanical equipment that required professional knowledge to make couldn't be made casually just because she had read relevant knowledge in books.
"Why?"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi frowned slightly.
"It's too complicated. I don't think I can do it."
"Eh, there's actually something you can't make, little junior sister?"
"Of course. What do you think I am, senior brother? I'm just an ordinary girl!"
"Ordinary?!"
When Chen Tianyi heard this, he almost burst out laughing. Then he quickly straightened his tone and said seriously.
"If you're ordinary, then there might be no special people in this world, little junior sister!"
"Well, I'm not from your world anyway."
Hu Ke'er muttered softly.
"What?"
Chen Tianyi seemed to have heard Hu Ke'er's muttering, so he asked softly.
"Nothing!"
Hu Ke'er quickly changed the topic.
"Senior brother, are we almost there?"
"Yeah, it's just up ahead!"
Chen Tianyi said and pointed into the distance.
"Little junior sister, do you still remember that memorial archway? The one where Uncle Zheng asked us to wait before."
"Of course I remember. Didn't we just come here?"
"Yeah! We'll just land there later."
"Okay!"
"Then hold on tight?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er was stunned for a moment. Then she felt the flying sword under her feet suddenly accelerate sharply.
"Ahhhhh!"
Hu Ke'er let out a wail. When she came to her senses, she was dizzy and unsteady on her feet. Fortunately, she was now standing under the memorial archway that Chen Tianyi had pointed out to her before, not on the flying sword. Otherwise, if she slipped, she might fall to pieces.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be so nervous, little junior sister."
"Who asked you to accelerate suddenly? You scared me. I haven't even asked you to compensate me for my mental damage!"
Hu Ke'er pouted and said.
"Come on, don't be angry, little junior sister. I won't do it again!"
Seeing Hu Ke'er pouting, Chen Tianyi chuckled.
"Humph, if you do this again next time, I'll never ride your flying sword again!"
Hu Ke'er snorted.
"Then whose flying sword will you ride?"
Chen Tianyi asked casually.
"I won't ride anyone's. I'll definitely make a super powerful flying sword in the future. By then, even you, senior brother, will be left far behind!"
"Then you have to work hard!"
"Senior brother, senior sister, the master asks you to go in!"
"Eh?"
Just as Hu Ke'er and Chen Tianyi were chatting, a little boy suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Then let's go?"
Hu Ke'er readily agreed and was about to follow the little boy into the clouds carelessly.
"Little junior sister, wait!"
Just as Hu Ke'er was about to follow the little boy forward, Chen Tianyi grabbed her hand.
"Is it the master-uncle who asked us to go in?"
Chen Tianyi looked at the little boy and asked softly.
"Yeah!"
"Is there anyone else there?"
"No."
The little boy shook his head and replied.
"What about Uncle Zhao?"
"Senior brother, don't you remember that Uncle Zhao was punished by our master to go to the back mountain?"
"Well, that's good. Little junior brother, lead the way!"
"Okay."
Saying that, the two followed the little boy into the clouds. The little boy made a hand gesture, and the view in front of them quickly changed. When their vision cleared, they were already in the master-uncle's hall.
"Why are you two here? Have you successfully refined the spirit stones?"
Seeing Hu Ke'er and Chen Tianyi, the master-uncle frowned.
"Or have you caused some trouble in the spirit stone refining room that you can't solve?"
"We didn't cause any trouble!"
Hu Ke'er said softly.
"The spirit stones have been successfully refined. This is one of them."
As Hu Ke'er said, she handed the spirit stone she had scraped from the glass wall of the distiller to the master-uncle.
"Good, good, good. This is great. How did you manage to make such high-purity spirit stones?"
"How we did it isn't important. The important thing is that if we want to increase the output, we need an engineering team, and the treatment for this team has to be good!"
"That's no problem. As long as we can get spirit stones of such high purity, we can discuss any conditions. You can go to Lao Zheng about these things! I agree!"
"Yeah! Great!"
Hearing the master-uncle's words, Hu Ke'er jumped up happily. Chen Tianyi, standing beside her, also smiled slightly when he saw Hu Ke'er bouncing around.
"Then we won't bother you anymore, master-uncle. We're going to find Uncle Zheng about the engineering team."
"Okay, I'll send you on your way."
After saying that, the master-uncle waved his sleeve at them. Hu Ke'er's vision changed again. When her sight returned to normal, she was already in front of Uncle Zheng in the Flying Tiger Hall.
"Uncle Zheng?"
"Huh? Why are you two here?"
"Well, we're planning to set up an engineering team, so we'd like to ask for your opinion..."
"Has senior brother, the master, agreed?"
"Yeah."
Hu Ke'er and Chen Tianyi looked at each other and nodded.
"That's great. You can decide for yourselves."
"Great! Then I can do a lot of research!"
