On the fifth day of the fifth month, the sun had just set.

The Yangxian Tower in Wulong Town was already brightly lit and bustling with people.

All those who received invitations in Wulong Town had gathered early in the tower.

Because the host of this tea party was Lu Huang!

A six-star expert, one of the top hundred blacksmiths in the Hundred Refinements Workshop, and a direct descendant of one of the core thirteen families in the workshop. No matter which title of Lu Huang was mentioned, it was always well-known.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng, the people of Wulong Town would never have the chance to meet such a great person from a completely different world, let alone sit at the same table with him.

Even just feeling the master's presence from a distance would be enough to become a topic of conversation for their grandchildren in the future!

The first floor of the Yangxian Tower had been completely cleared.

Almost all the seats on the second floor were already occupied.

Only a few seats at the main table in the center were still empty.

Everyone who came to the banquet couldn't help but glance at those seats, their eyes filled with complex emotions—jealousy, envy, bitterness...

Unfortunately, they knew that those seats closest to Master Lu Huang could only belong to Tang Family Castle, to Tang Zheng!

Tang Zheng!

Yes, that name.

Since the last sensational "Dagger Appraisal Conference" in Wulong Town, that name had become known to everyone. Many might not have seen him, but no one had not heard of his name!

Because this person actually dared to bet on forging with the Hundred Refinements Workshop, and in the end, he actually won!

While the people on the second floor of the Yangxian Tower were discussing, ...

A young man in a light blue robe, accompanied by a tall, gender-ambiguous warrior and a servant, handed the invitation to the waiter and quietly took his seat.

The three of them didn't say a word.

However, the air on the second floor suddenly became cold and tense because of their arrival.

"Blue Shaoye..." A shopkeeper on East Street frowned subconsciously.

"The one next to him is Xu Qingyan, right?" Another shopkeeper whispered, "Why are they here?"

"I heard Master Lu Huang invited people based on Tang Zheng's last list... so..."

The group fell silent.

Tang Zheng inviting Yilan Manor was a provocation, but what did it mean for the Hundred Refinements Workshop to invite Yilan Manor to this tea party in return?

However, they didn't expect the Hundred Refinements Workshop to figure it out, so they didn't say more.

Blue Shaoye smiled, lifted his robe, and sat down calmly.

He took in everyone's reactions, but his face showed no embarrassment.

Today, he was Lu Huang's guest!

Time passed slowly...

In the kitchen of the Yangxian Tower, exquisite vegetarian dishes were already prepared, waiting for the main guest to arrive.

Not long after, a black-topped carriage pulled by two white horses stopped at the entrance of the Yangxian Tower.

Black top, white horses!

That was the signature carriage of the Hundred Refinements Workshop!

"Master Lu Huang has arrived, Master Lu Huang has arrived..." A group of people actually crowded to the window, some watching the carriage, some watching the people.

"Tsk tsk, Master Lu Huang, truly a master! He arrived early."

"To be honest... Tang Zheng is a bit disrespectful, how can he let Master Lu Huang wait for him?"

Lu Huang, who had already lit six life palaces by his sixties, had no wrinkles on his face, looking much younger than his actual age, at most in his thirties or forties.

Only his hands were very rough, not only very dark but also covered with scars.

He wore a silver and white scholar's robe, always smiling, and his steps up the stairs were steady. Although he didn't speak, he politely nodded to every guest who tried to get close to him.

Of course, there were also particularly excited or particularly fawning guests...

But there was not a hint of impatience in Lu Huang's eyes.

"This is a true great man," Blue Shaoye watched from a distance and smiled, "Young Master Xu, don't think Tang Family Castle was the first to befriend him. Watch how I take him away from Tang Family Castle."

"Hmm." Xu Qingyan let out a cold laugh from his throat.

After Lu Huang took his seat, Blue Shaoye slowly walked over: "I am Blue Shaoye, long have I heard of Master Lu Huang's great name. It is a great honor to be invited by you today."

Lu Huang smiled and nodded at him.

Blue Shaoye continued: "I dare not disturb Master's important matters. May I ask if I can consult you about the restoration of the Yuhua Seal after the banquet?"

At the mention of the Yuhua Seal, Lu Huang's eyes immediately sparkled. Facing a damaged precious engraving, he couldn't help but be interested...

Just as Blue Shaoye smiled and was about to continue the conversation, a sound of footsteps came from the stairs on the second floor of the Yangxian Tower.

Lu Huang looked up and saw a young man with a carefree smile, accompanied by a few teenagers and three middle-aged men, walking toward him.

"Master, Tang Zheng has arrived," Mo Feng, who had been standing stiffly next to Lu Huang, said in a low voice.

"Oh?" Lu Huang immediately lifted his robe and stood up, walking toward Tang Zheng.

The guests who came to the banquet were stunned.

If you said the people of the Hundred Refinements Workshop didn't understand social graces, Lu Huang had already done a good job, smiling all the way, unlike the others who kept their distance. But if you said he understood social graces...

How could a six-star expert, a renowned blacksmith of the Hundred Refinements Workshop, stand up to greet a young man?

Tang Zheng had never met Lu Huang.

But seeing Mo Feng following behind, he could guess the identity of the newcomer.

He had just raised his hand to greet, but before he could finish saying "Master, hello," he saw Lu Huang grab his hand and examine it closely.

Tang Zheng's hands, used to playing games and rarely exposed to sunlight, looked even cleaner and longer compared to Lu Huang's.

Lu Huang stood in front of Tang Zheng and looked up.

His eyes stared intently at Tang Zheng!

The aura of a six-star expert was overwhelming. If you were a true expert, "killing with a glance" was not just a joke.

The people from Tang Family Castle standing behind Tang Zheng immediately felt nervous.

The three brothers, Tang Boyuan, who had the highest cultivation, were instantly drenched in sweat.

But Tang Zheng, although feeling Lu Huang's gaze like a scanning beam, still smiled at him: "Am I still handsome and charming?"

Lu Huang actually nodded.

Tang Zheng almost choked on his own saliva. He didn't blush when he praised himself, but the other's nod really made him feel embarrassed.

Before he could recover from this topic, Lu Huang suddenly, very suddenly, and even more suddenly, said, "Tang Zheng, join the Hundred Refinements Workshop and learn forging from me, what do you say?"

...

What is a combo attack?

What is one mountain higher than another?

This was the first time Tang Zheng had met someone who spoke and acted more directly and abruptly than himself.

All the guests were stunned.

Lu Huang's decision not to speak after entering the Yangxian Tower was indeed correct. When he didn't speak, he seemed like a gentleman, but once he opened his mouth, it was a mess.

Taking on a disciple!

Not to mention how he suddenly wanted to take on a disciple, but for such a big decision, there should at least be some buildup, some preparation, right?

This was too sudden!

A glint of surprise flashed in Blue Shaoye's eyes, but it was only for a moment before he hid it deep in his eyes.

"Master, why don't we... take our seats first and talk while we eat?" Tang Zheng didn't understand Lu Huang's intentions, so he didn't answer directly.

"Alright!" Lu Huang was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

The guests were almost driven mad—Lu Huang had already proposed to take on a disciple, and Tang Zheng didn't rush to grab the opportunity. Was his brain filled with mud?

Eating, is eating so important? Has he never eaten before in his life?

Tang Zheng and Lu Huang, each leading people from Tang Family Castle and the Hundred Refinements Workshop, took their seats at the main table.

Music played...

One by one, the special vegetarian dishes of the Yangxian Tower were served.

Tang Zheng's hand played with a cup in his sleeve, not touching his chopsticks, and said to Lu Huang, "I am a warrior who uses dual weapons. I invited Master to Wulong Town to forge a secondary weapon, as the design is quite complex, and only a master like you could complete it... But why did you suddenly propose to take me as a disciple?"

Lu Huang also didn't touch his chopsticks.

When Tang Zheng asked, he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "You were born with the Sun and Moon stars, you should be one of us in the Hundred Refinements Workshop!"

Tang Zheng swallowed.

Wait, he found it a bit difficult to communicate with Lu Huang...

How did he suddenly become "should be" a member of the Hundred Refinements Workshop? Where did this "should be" come from!

"Young man, choice is very important! Although the Treasure Gathering Pavilion has your juniors, we in the Hundred Refinements Workshop are different. We are not like the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, whose lives are full of money, money, money..." Lu Huang began to persuade.

"Uh..." Tang Zheng felt that his life was also full of money, money, money.

"They treat forging like a game, thinking that money can buy the best products..."

"..." Tang Zheng was hit again.

"The worst part is, they say one thing to people and another to ghosts, with no principles at all!"

"..." Tang Zheng was completely defeated.

Combo... combo... another combo...

Every word was about the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, but why did he keep getting hit?
