The night was dark, and Xia Huang, who had been tired for the whole day, was lying on his soft little bed, sleeping peacefully.

Suddenly, a figure as black as night jumped from outside the courtyard wall into the Xia family's blacksmith shop and rushed straight into Xia Huang's room.

Although the speed of the visitor was extremely fast, his steps were very light. Apart from a slight noise when he opened the door, there was almost no noticeable sound.

A figure dressed in black walked to Xia Huang's bed and stretched out his right hand to explore Xia Huang's neck.

Just when the man in black's right hand was about to reach Xia Huang's neck, Xia Huang, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, flipped his left hand like an eagle's claw and clasped the man in black's wrist. I don't know when there was an extra thing in his right hand.

The simple blue-grey long sword, which is as wide as the top and bottom of the handle, is placed on the neck of the man in black!

"Who are you?" Xia Huang asked in a cold voice.

The man in black did not expect that Xia Huang did not lose vigilance even in his sleep, and could even restrain himself instantly. He reflexively wanted to break free from Xia Huang's hand that was holding him, but was horrified to find that the hand on Xia Huang's left hand

The power is actually stronger than that of a monk at the second level of Qi Yang Realm! No matter how hard he tries, he just can't get rid of Xia Huang's control!

Does this young man possess the strength of the third level of Nourishing Qi Realm?!

When he thought of his guess, the man in black's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly: "You... aren't you a blacksmith?"

"But I am also a swordsman. If I hadn't discovered that your actions just now were not malicious, you would be dead by now."

"The villain is just following orders and wants to test your strength. The villain definitely has no ill intentions!" Seeing that Xia Huang didn't seem to be an unreasonable person, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief and explained again and again.

Seeing that the man in black didn't seem to be lying, Xia Huang removed the sword from the man in black's neck and asked, "Who sent you here?"

"You can't say anything for a villain. Please don't embarrass me. If you insist on forcing me to tell you, then just kill me! Please believe that we don't have any ill intentions towards you." Regarding the news about his master, the man in black said

He is tight-lipped and refuses to reveal even a single word.

Xia Huang was not a murderous person, and the man in black had a firm attitude and really had no ill intentions, so he released the hand holding the man in black and put the sword in his right hand back to the bedside.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it. Let's go! Go back and tell the person who sent you that if there is a second time, I won't be so polite."

"Yes!" The man in black bowed his head and retreated as if he had been granted amnesty.

After the man in black left, Xia Huang lost all sleep. He walked to the bed and looked at the bright moonlight, muttering to himself: "Testing my strength... This kind of testing behavior can actually be regarded as a certain degree of contempt.

...If I were strong enough, who would dare to get close to me easily? After staying in Pingcheng for a long time, the space for progress is really limited. The real big sects are the places I pursue and yearn for to become stronger! Wait for this time

The transaction is completed, and after borrowing a book of true secrets from the library to study, it is time for me to leave Pingcheng..."

The man in black who left Xia's blacksmith shop did not leave along a straight path, but consciously turned around in the alley. After making sure that no one was following him, he walked to a certain not-so-wide street and ducked out.

Entering a spacious carriage parked on the street.

"My subordinate is incompetent! I didn't find out the specific strength of that person, but was controlled by him!" The man in black knelt down on one knee as soon as he entered the carriage, not daring to raise his head.

"Oh? Was he restrained?"

Sitting on the main seat in the carriage was a beautiful woman with smooth skin and luxurious clothes. When she heard this unexpected result, a trace of astonishment appeared on the woman's beautiful face.

The changes in facial expressions not only did not destroy the original beauty and harmony, but instead added a touch of vivid charm to her.

After being stunned, the woman's expression quickly turned into a smile, and she said to the other woman sitting on her left: "My good sister, the person you like is really good! At such a young age, you have at least

The strength of the third level of Qi Yang Realm can be improved so quickly in a place like Pingcheng. This person is an out-and-out genius... His future achievements are limitless! He is a good candidate to be my brother-in-law."

The woman on her left was Lin Xuan, who had just visited the Xia family's blacksmith shop today.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's face was so red that she was almost bleeding, and her voice was not much louder than a mosquito: "Cousin, please stop teasing me. I just suspect that he is the benefactor who saved my life in Aung San a month ago, and I am not attracted to him.

...What kind of brother-in-law is not a brother-in-law...Cousin, you just know how to make me happy..."

"My heart is filled with love because a hero saves a beauty. This kind of story has to be told at least ten or eight times a day in the storytelling library. Don't be embarrassed, sister."

"Cousin, if you keep talking, I will ignore you."

"You... Speaking of which, if you want to win that martial arts competition, why don't I lend you some weapons and armor? Why are you still searching everywhere?"

"This is not possible." When it came to the martial arts district competition, Lin Xuan's attitude became firm, "I made a bet with my eldest brother. If I can win the district competition with my own ability this time, then he will win the district competition in the future.

Just stop caring about me. If I rely on the help of others, I will lose. So cousin, you must not interfere in this matter."

"Oh! So I am that 'other person'!"

"Cousin, if you make fun of me again, I will get off the carriage..."

The two beauties were in front of them, but the man in black who returned after defeat did not dare to raise his head to admire them. He only hoped that the two sisters would chat more happily and forget their mistakes today as soon as possible...

The next morning.

Xia Huang moved his arms that had been overexerted yesterday and found that his strength had been fully restored. He put on his blacksmith's outfit with satisfaction.

Since he was a child, Xia Huang has discovered that his body recovers faster than others. Some small wounds caused by bumps and bruises in his childhood healed on their own without waiting for him to clean and bandage them. After embarking on the journey of cultivation, Xia Huang even discovered that,

Regardless of whether it is physical strength or true energy in the body, after being exhausted, it recovers much faster than others.

Regarding this, Xia Huang knew in his heart that it was the effect of the two forces, one cold and one hot, in his body, but his adoptive father, Old Blacksmith Xia, insisted that it was because of the excellent blood inheritance of his Xia family.

No matter how stupid Xia Huang is, he will never believe Old Blacksmith Xia’s nonsense!

Where does the blood inheritance come from between the adoptive father and the adopted son?

Just when Xia Huang was about to start selecting materials for the weapons needed by Lin Xuan, the third daughter of the Lin family, there was suddenly a rough knock on the door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom!"

"Open the door! Blacksmith, open the door quickly!"

"Master, it seems that the door is not closed! You see, when I just smashed the door, the door moved inward."

"Then you two work hard together and break the door open for me!"

"One, two, three, hit!"

The heavy iron door of the Xia family's blacksmith shop was violently knocked open from the outside. The two people who knocked the door rushed in, rubbing their sore shoulders and arms, and shouted to Xia Huang: "Blacksmith! Come and greet our family quickly.

Master!"

Xia Huang didn't bother to pay attention to such rude people. He walked to the corner where the materials were piled and picked out the materials for making weapons for Miss Lin today.

Although Pingcheng is small, the big families in Pingcheng are very bad-tempered.

Many children of several big families in Pingcheng are used to being arrogant and domineering in Pingcheng. Even when they walk, they want to throw their legs into the sky. Many ordinary people and small businessmen who are unable to resist are often bullied.

, but what can be done? I can’t just swallow my anger.

Xia Huang has actually seen this kind of thing before and heard about it a lot, but Xia Huang didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to him, and it would happen at such a good time in the morning.

The two minions had no idea that they had chosen the wrong person. Seeing that Xia Huang ignored them at all, they almost became angry!

This is really unreasonable!

They were following the young master to show off their power outside. How had they ever encountered such rude treatment? However, thinking of the brute strength of blacksmiths, the two of them, who had not practiced yet, resisted the urge to rush up and beat Xia Huang.

There was still a lot of shouting.

"You rude fellow! How dare you not take our young master seriously because of your brute strength! Our young master is a monk at the second level of the Qi Nourishing Realm! Just wait for death, kid!"

"Oh? Don't you take me, Ling Wu, seriously? You dare to build weapons for that little girl from the Lin family and go against my Ling family. You are really brave!" An extremely arrogant voice came from the iron gate.

I saw that the person who came here was about twenty years old. Because he had been pampered since he was a child, his skin was as white and tender as that of a woman. The corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a faint arrogance in his eyes.

As a famous genius of the younger generation of the Ling family, Ling Wu has been taken care of by everyone like a star holding the moon since he was a child. The strength of the second level of Qi Nourishing Realm has given him the strength to walk sideways in a small place like Pingcheng.

The Ling family and the Lin family have disliked each other for a long time because their surnames have similar pronunciations. The two families refuse to give in to each other in all aspects and insist on competing.

This time in the martial arts district competition, since the strongest opponent was the team of Lin Xuan, the third daughter of the Lin family, Ling Wu deliberately took out the precious "Reverse Evil Divine Ink" armor from home, just to be sure.

Unexpectedly, news suddenly came last night that the Xia family's blacksmith shop actually agreed to forge weapons for Lin Xuan to restrain the "Reverse Evil Divine Ink" armor. How could Ling Wu sit still after learning this news?

That's why he came to the door early in the morning with two servants and beat the Xia family who didn't understand current affairs.

Seeing Xia Huang's back rummaging for various materials, Ling Wu's heart surged with anger! This guy didn't even look at him!

"Blacksmith! I order you not to make any weapons for the Lin family, otherwise I will demolish this shabby shop of yours!"

When Ling Wu's two young followers saw that the young master was angry, they immediately jumped forward, pointed at Xia Huang and yelled: "Boy! Did you hear what our young master said? With our young master's ability, he can do it with just a finger.

I can grind this kid like you into powder! If you are sensible, please kneel over and apologize to our young master and beg our young master to calm down!"

"Why are you still lingering there? Why don't you get over here quickly!"

Xia Huang stopped what he was doing, turned around slowly, and his eyes turned cold: "If there is nothing else, you can leave."
Chapter completed!
