Waiting until all the food had been eaten, Ke Xin Er bid farewell to Su Xia Yue.

"Beautiful elder sister, I'll come see you again tomorrow. I'm staying at the western courtyard of the honorable cloud palace! I live in that elven house. "

Long Bi, who had been sitting beside Su Xia Yue the entire time, now stood up and went to cover the room door. Then, he turned around and walked in front of Su Xia Yue.

"Yes sir!"

Long Bi stood up and pushed the door open, he walked to the center of the courtyard and looked outside. However, the sound of knocking could be heard outside the courtyard, yet there wasn't a single person in sight, as if they'd seen a ghost.

Long Bi was shocked.

She immediately raised her hand and a green ray of light shone from her fingertip. He then used this light to look through it. He looked outside the yard again.

"Strange, there aren't any ghosts either. What the hell is that thing causing trouble outside our courtyard?"

"Long Bi."

Su Xia Yue walked out of nowhere and called out from behind him.

"Eldest Miss, there's something weird here, you should go back first! "I'll stand guard here and see who dares to come to our young mistress' misfortune."

"It's not weird, look down."

Long Bi frowned, although he could not understand what the young miss had said. She still lowered her head and looked at it. He didn't know, but he was shocked when he saw it.

On the round millstone beside Long Bi's feet, there was a little person that was as long as his thumb.

He looked to be around forty to fifty years old. His temples were a little gray. He was wearing a proper refiner's robe, but he couldn't see what the emblem of that refiner's robe looked like.

At this moment, this fellow, who was much smaller than the elves and could already be considered a thumb person, was currently brandishing the extremely fine hammer in his hand and striking a treasured sword that was burned red by the fire. Be it the crafting furnace, treasured sword or iron hammer, they were all suitable for this thumb sized person.

Only, to Long Bi, these things were so small that she could have overlooked them.

Su Xia Yue noticed this.

She did not think that the person who came to the Imperial Palace in the middle of the night and chose the forging method at the entrance of her courtyard was a bad person either.

Although Long Bi was disdainful to be on guard against this fellow, after thinking about it, for Su Xia Yue's safety, he decided to do his duty and pull out his sword sheath a little, and place it in front of Su Xia Yue to protect him.

Su Xia Yue, on the other hand, passed by Long Bi, went straight ahead, and bowed slightly so that his face would be at the same size as this thumb sized person. Then, he asked about this blacksmith who was only an inch long.

"Who are you?"

"Ding dong, ding-dong, ding-dong …" Only a series of hammering sounds rang out in reply to Su Xia Yue, as if the little thumb man was obsessed with artifact forging and didn't care about Su Xia Yue's questions at all.

This time, Long Bi was not happy.

She drew her sword and gestured. He felt that the sword was too big and might not be able to aim accurately, so he picked up a rock and pinched it to threaten this uninvited guest.

"Speak, who are you? How dare you ignore our young miss's question? "

"Who I am is not important. I only came here because I felt that this place was filled with spiritual energy and a bit of celestial spiritual energy! It won't hinder you at all, so don't you dare obstruct me. "

With the hammer in hand, the refiner who was drenched in sweat turned his head and coldly replied to Long Bi and Su Xia Yue.

Su Xia Yue, who had been looking straight at the thumb man, suddenly laughed.

"Your weapon absorbed my maid's and my spiritual energy and immortal aura, so how can you say that it does not obstruct us?"

"Hmm?"

The weapons craftsman didn't seem to think that this woman could be even more shameless than him, and he immediately let out a puzzled voice. Then, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at Su Xia Yue.

One was tall and the other was short. One was young, while the other was old.

This strange scene under the moonlight made the stone in Long Bi's hand feel somewhat awkward. She silently put down the rock and waited for Eldest Miss to personally inquire about this fellow's background.

Who knew that the previously extremely arrogant refiner would suddenly swoop down towards Su Xia Yue like an octopus.

Su Xia Yue was also shocked by the sudden scene, he subconsciously wanted to shake the thumb person refiner who was attached to his sleeves.

"What are you doing?" What are you doing? "

Su Xia Yue swung his hand a few times, but still did not shake it off. At this moment, he realized that the thumb man was wearing a pair of extremely attractive gloves. The moment the gloves touched his sleeves, he could no longer move.

"Lady! It's you! You can be my disciple! "

"…"

Su Xia Yue, who was flustered and flustered, instantly stiffened, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously twitched.

This guy must be crazy!

It was one thing to not sleep in the middle of the night and instead come to the Imperial Palace to forge artifacts. It was hard to understand why a woman who was several dozens of years younger than him, who he had never met, would suddenly want to acknowledge him as her disciple.

This refiner's thumb saw the disdain in Su Xia Yue's eyes, but he did not mind it at all. Instead, he climbed towards Su Xia Yue's arm with even more effort.

While crawling, he explained.

"I just saw your spirit energy from afar, and also touched your body's bones, I really found out that you're a genius with extraordinary talent and surprising bones. Not coming here to refine is truly a pity!" Right now, I can make an exception and take you in as my disciple. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, please do not miss it! "

"Who are you? How rare is it to be your disciple?"

Su Xia Yue lifted one of his arms. Seeing the Barbarian Tiger-like artificer's thumb lying on his sleeve, his face filled with black lines, he was simply speechless.

Who would have thought that this guy would actually be able to raise his head up and laugh in such a difficult situation?

"Hahaha, you actually don't know my name!" Looks like I was still ignorant and ill-informed! "

"Don't tell me you are …"

Su Xia Yue frowned, just as he was about to speak out his guess, he heard Qing Qing's footsteps and questions coming from the entrance of the courtyard.

"Elder sister, who are you talking to? He could hear that person's laughter from far away. It seems like he's a man … "

When Su Xia Yue raised his head, Mu Rong Qing was already in front of him. His expression made it seem as if he was here to catch a traitor.
