Chapter 298 - The Old Fatty"s Letter!
"These guys sure run fast."
Watching as the figures of the twenty odd Tang Family s quickly disappeared, Tang Xiong couldn"t help but chuckle.
Not long ago, Tang Xing, Tang Jun, Tang Hong, Tang Jiang and more than twenty other Disciples s with the power of Spiritual Fire had all come here. However, other than them, none of them appeared.
They were also worried that their appearance would cause the matter to repeat itself, so they had Tang Xing and the others bring a large number of high-grade gems over.
Tang Huan only spent around a quarter of an hour to absorb all the Spiritual Fire"s energy from more than twenty Tang Family s.
Once the internal injuries were gone, it was as if Tang Xing and the others were amnestied. They didn"t dare to stay for even a moment longer and disappeared without a trace in a short while.
"Brother Tang Huan, it was only until now that Tang Family took the gem …"
After withdrawing his gaze, Tang Xiong subconsciously looked at the two large bags at the side and discovered that they were already empty. He was stunned for a moment before he turned to look at the blacksmith shop and saw the little girl holding them in one hand as she dragged them into the shop.
"This little girl, she sure has a lot of strength."
Tang Xiong exclaimed in surprise.
He had long been curious about the little girl who had always been by Tang Huan"s side. No matter if it was being ambushed outside the Crescent City or in the Tang Family"s Martial Arts Practice Grounds, the little girl was still calm and didn"t even cry.
And now, such a two or three-year-old girl could actually easily carry away a gem bag that weighed several hundred pounds.
This was completely illogical.
In the past, when Tang Huan didn"t say anything, it wasn"t convenient for Tang Xiong to ask, but now, he couldn"t endure it any longer, "Brother Tang Huan, where did you find this girl?"
"If I told you I picked her up, would you believe me?" Tang Huan said while beaming.
"I don"t believe you." Tang Xiong shook his head without even thinking.
"In reality, she was indeed picked up by me." Tang Huan laughed loudly.
"..."
Tang Xiong was even more speechless, he immediately continued with his conversation and lowered his voice, "Brother Tang Huan, Tang Family has only just sent the gem over, could it be that you have guessed correctly?"
"You have to see the results of the Divine Weapon Pavilion"s investigations first."
Tang Huan laughed, "I will go to the Divine Weapon Pavilion later to ask around, it just so happens that my middle Weapon Refiner"s ident.i.ty badge will be changed to a high level Weapon Refiner."
"Alright!" Tang Xiong laughed out loud, "It seems like our Glory Continent"s second young high ranking Weapon Refiner will be appearing soon."
"Second Young? "What"s the number one youth?" Hearing his words, Tang Huan was first slightly stunned, and then she snapped out of it, "But Heavenly Forging City, that …"
"Exactly."
"She was promoted to Stage Seven Martial Master at the age of fourteen, and pa.s.sed the Divine Weapon Pavilion"s test on the second day, becoming the youngest high ranking Weapon Refiner in the past few hundred years. Right now, she is probably already a Martial Lord of the eighth step, Weapon Refining Master."
"Weapon Refining Master?"
Tang Huan was emotionally moved.
Seeing that, Tang Xiong couldn"t help but laugh: "Brother Tang Huan, you don"t have to worry. Although you started later than her, your speed far surpa.s.ses hers. I reckon that in a few years, you will catch up to her and even surpa.s.s her, leaving her with no choice but to follow behind you."
"Thank you, big brother, for your auspicious words."
Tang Huan could not help but laugh, "Oh right, big brother, is there any activity at that weapon shop over the past few days?"
In this period of time, although Tang Huan stayed in the smithy the whole time, he did not relax his focus on the old fatty"s weapon shop for even a day. Almost every day, Tang Xiong would arrange for two people to stand guard near the weapon store. As long as there were any signs of trouble, they would come back to inform him.
But unfortunately, after ten days, the weapon shop was still calm and peaceful. Tang Huan even suspected that the old fatty had met with some mishap in Heavenly Forging City.
"Brother Tang Huan, I was just about to tell you." When Tang Xiong heard this, he heavily slapped the back of his head as he chuckled and said, "Just this morning, that weapon store opened …."
"What?" Tang Huan was ecstatic, he involuntarily grabbed onto Tang Xiong"s wrist and asked anxiously: "Old Fatty is back?"
"Cough cough, Brother Tang Huan, I haven"t finished speaking."
Tang Xiong dryly laughed twice and said, "The shop owner didn"t come back. The one who opened the door was the shop a.s.sistant. He did as he was told and regularly cleaned the shop."
Hearing this, Tang Huan was startled, the happiness between his brows quickly dissipated, and he let go of Tang Xiong"s wrist in disappointment.
Although Tang Xiong did not know the relations.h.i.+p between Tang Huan and the shopkeeper, he could guess that the two must have a deep connection with each other. Thus, he quickly said: "Brother Tang Huan, when that storekeeper was cleaning the shop, he accidentally found a letter there. It was left for you by the storekeeper."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Tang Huan did not dare believe his own ears, only to see Tang Xiong taking out an envelope from his chest and handing it over.
"There"s really a letter?"
Tang Huan was overjoyed.
But the moment he received the letter, Tang Huan couldn"t help but become anxious. In that short moment, his mood was like riding a roller coaster, dropping from the peak to the bottom, and then climbing to the peak. He didn"t know if he would fall to the bottom again after opening the letter.
After thinking about it, Tang Huan could not help but open the envelope and take out a piece of paper. With just a glance, Tang Huan was stunned. There were only a few characters:
Brat, I, the fat grandpa, went out for a stroll. I"m afraid that I won"t be able to return in a short period of time. Take care of yourself, don"t get killed off by someone if you"re not careful! Next June, I will go to Heavenly Forging City. If you are also there, we can meet on the sixth day of the sixth month at the "Return Residence".
"Next year, June 6th?" Seeing that Tang Huan"s expression was strange, Tang Xiong could not help but look over and muttered, "It"s only been about a year and a half."
"Big Brother, Heavenly Forging City also has a place to "return to"?" Tang Huan regained his senses and took a deep breath.
"Of course there are. Those famous cities in the Glory Continent all have families that have come back to live in them. It is said that these cities were opened by the "Glory Sacred Temple"." Tang Xiong nodded his head.
"Glory Sacred Temple..."
Tang Huan nodded. Since it was opened by the "Glory Sacred Temple," it would naturally be opened by the Imperial Family of the Glory Empire, which was also known as the Shan Shan Family. He had originally thought that the old fatty would still be in Heavenly Forging City, but he didn"t expect that he would actually be swimming in the clouds and had even arranged to meet him at the "Return Residence" in Heavenly Forging City on the sixth day of June next year.
After reading the words on the paper again, Tang Huan suddenly had a thought. "Big Brother, how often does the weapon shop a.s.sistants clean the shops?"
"Ten days? "What"s wrong?" Tang Xiong froze.
"Once every ten days. This means that the shop a.s.sistant has cleaned the shop many times. Why was it that he didn"t find this letter when he found it today?" Tang Huan said in a heavy voice.
"It"s a bit strange. I personally asked that shop a.s.sistant this morning, and he was extremely surprised that I found this letter." Tang Xiong suddenly slapped his hand and said in shock, "Brother Tang Xiong, what you"re saying is that this letter was placed in the weapon store by the owner only a few days ago?"
"Very likely."
"d.a.m.n it, I"ll send someone to search the city thoroughly right now..."
"No need, big brother. He must have left by now."
