Chapter 3803: Stingy Shop (1)
Hearing Feng Wu's sigh, the teenager couldn't help but laugh. "Do you find my shop too shabby?"
Feng Wu was woken up by Huyan Yichen's voice. When she came back to herself, she saw that they were outside his shop.
"Singy Shop?"
Feng Wu looked back at Huyan Yichen and wanted to laugh. That name…
Huyan Yichen rolled his eyes at Feng Wu. "Laugh all you want. Don't hold it back."
Feng Wu chuckled.
Huyan Yichen shrugged. "I don't know why the old master gave us that name. It sounds so petty, and it doesn't mean well. My grandpa said that our patriarch came up with the name. I'm sure that's not true."
"What are you talking about?"
A slim, handsome old man strolled out of the shop. He glanced at Huyan Yichen, then glanced at Feng Wu out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but glance at her again.
But that was it.
He wasn't interested in her after that.
Huyan Yichen greeted Feng Wu warmly. "Come in and have a seat."
His grandfather glanced at him. "Who's that?"
Huyan Yichen gave the old man a warning glance.
The old man pulled Huyan Yichen to the side and whispered to him.
He frowned. "Can that scrawny girl do it?"
Huyan Yichen said, "Although she's a scrawny girl, she looks full of vigor. Maybe she'll do."
Old Huyan was still frowning.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu was studying the shop with her hands behind her back.
In short, it was a blacksmith's shop with all the necessary furnishings. Moreover, Feng Wu saw a few pieces of dark iron in a corner.
Wait!
Feng Wu's eyes lit up.
Just then, Huyan Yichen walked up to Feng Wu and saw that she was interested in the iron in the corner of the wall. He said grumpily, "These are just pieces of junk. It'll be a shame to throw them away, but they won't make anything useful. They're useless."
Feng Wu turned around and looked at Huyan Yichen in bewilderment.
The look gave Huyan Yichen the creeps. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Feng Wu stared at Huyan Yichen again. "A piece of junk?"
Huyan Yichen nodded. "Of course it's junk. If it really was dark iron, we would have used it to build weapons already. You know what? Although our shop is known as Stingy Shop, all the weapons we build are for influential people.
"Even the commander-in-chief of the empire's military uses weapons that My grandfather made."
Feng Wu glanced at Huyan Yichen, indicating that she didn't believe him.
"Hey, why won't you believe me? Our shop is one of the most famous shops in Northern Yan. Why won't you believe me?"
Huyan Yichen caught up with her and saw that Feng Wu was staring at the pieces in the corner again. He was speechless. "You don't know anything. Why are you staring at that junk?"
"Have you heard of Lord Timeless?" Huyan Yichen glanced at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu had never heard of that title until a few days ago.
"Lord Timeless? You mean Gui Qulai?" Feng Wu asked indifferently.
"That's right! It's him! He's the best swordsman in Northern Yan! We made his sword!"
Feng Wu frowned a little. "That's a peak sage-level weapon, right?"
"You don't say." Huyan Yichen was elated to see that Feng Wu knew what it was. "I saw my grandpa make Strike One when I was little. Do you know how amazing our shop is now?"
Feng Wu rolled her eyes. "I missed the part where that's my problem?"
Huyan Yichen grinned.
Feng Wu frowned. "What do you want?"
She saw the cunning smile on Huyan Yichen's face.
Huyan Yichen didn't answer Feng Wu's question. Instead, he asked casually, "Now that you've mentioned it, may I ask where you're from and what's your name?"
Feng Wu said grumpily, "Is this a household register?"
Huyan Yichen was confused. "Miss, what's that?"
Feng Wu waved her hand indifferently. "I'm only joking. It's nothing. My surname is… Feng, as in the wind that blows through water without leaving a trace."
"Feng isn't a big surname in Northern Yan, but it's a major surname in the Junwu Empire. Feng Xiangnan, the Northern Feng General, is a well-known figure in the Junwu Empire. I wonder if you've met him before?"
Feng Wu shook her head.
Huyan Yichen was disappointed. "You have a point. The general is so superior, and I can tell that you're just an ordinary girl. It's only normal that you haven't met him. As for Feng Xun, I'm sure you haven't met him either."
Feng Xun?
Feng Wu glanced at Huyan Yichen. "Feng Xun? As in the son of Northern Feng Mansion?"
"You don't say. That's him! Feng Xun! Do you know him?" Huyan Yichen stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu thought, "You didn't tell me if Feng Xun is your friend or an enemy. How am I supposed to know if I know him?"
Hence, Feng Wu didn't answer.
The silence was the best answer.
As expected, Huyan Yichen thought that Feng Wu didn't know who that was. He snorted. "He set me up a long time ago, and I haven't had a chance to make trouble for him yet!"
Feng Wu was glad that she didn't reveal her relationship to Feng Xun.
She wiped away her cold sweat and smiled at Huyan Yichen. "He tricked you? What did he do?"
For as long as Feng Wu could remember, Feng Xun had been driven mad by Jun Linyuan and her, but she had never seen him setting anyone up.
Huyan Yichen snorted. "See those pieces of scrap metal in the corner? He sold them to me! He said they were sacred iron and could make a top-grade sacred weapon! I thought I could make another sword like Strike on, so of course I bought them!
"And with the iron, he gave me a drawing, saying that I could build a sacred-level Arm of Commandment. I believed him then!
"Do you know how much I paid for it?"
Feng Wu looked at him in bewilderment.
"A million! I spent a million Yan coins to get back from someone else. I thought I could forge the arm, but I…
"I only realized later that the iron was fake! There was only a layer of dark iron on the outside, but it was fake on the inside!"
Huyan Yichen was so frustrated that he almost stomped his foot.
Feng Wu glanced at him. The fact that he was still so angry showed how much he hated Feng Xun.
"When did it happen?" Feng Wu asked curiously.
Huyan Yi said, "When we were ten!"
Feng Wu was speechless. It had been years.
However, ten years ago, Huyan Yichen was able to make a deal with Feng Xun, and he was the buyer…
