Su Xia Yue's face immediately darkened, her slender and charming eyebrows knitted together slightly.
"Which one of your eyes saw me talking to a man?"
Su Xia Yue started to urge him again.
"You don't need to ask."
Su Xia Yue waved his hands, telling Long Bi to go back into the house first. She was the only one left, sitting alone in front of the stone table.
The small courtyard under the moonlight was completely silent.
Su Xia Yue had been staring at the thumb man on the stone table the whole time. The thumb person refiner's face was filled with arrogance, as if he was sure that Su Xia Yue would definitely acknowledge him as his master.
"Why aren't you recommending yourself like you just did?" Su Xia Yue asked half-jokingly.
The refiner directly answered, "Because I know that you've suddenly concealed my whereabouts for me. You must have already guessed who I am, right?"
"You are the number one blacksmith in Gaomu, Yi Cun Ding."
"Call me Master One Inch!"
Yi Cun Ding was a little dissatisfied with his way of addressing her, and corrected himself. However, he still couldn't help but praise Su Xia Yue.
"But you are really a clever girl! Say it, is there something you want me to do? That's why they sent the Sixth Prince away? "
"Oh, it's not that I want to beg you for anything big, I just want to show you something."
While Su Xia Yue was speaking, he gave Yi Cun Ding her Nine Palace Box. When Master Yi Cun Ding saw the Nine Palace Box, his eyes shone with excitement.
"Isn't this the Nine Palace Divine Box that I forged twenty years ago? I didn't expect to see it now! Little girl, where did you get this from? "
"Made twenty years ago? You already have that ability twenty years ago? "
How would Su Xia Yue know, that this Master One Inch who looked like he was only forty fifty years old, was actually already a hundred and forty five years old. Even the him from twenty years ago was an old man that was one hundred and thirty years old. However, he used a special method to make him look as young as before.
And this special method was to shorten it by an inch at the cost of height. By now, he had already reduced his height by four to five meters, from the height of a giant to the height of a thumb.
And now, his height no longer allowed him to continue shortening it.
In other words, from now on, he would be older by one year. If he looked like he was a hundred years old, it would be the time of his death. It had only been about twenty years since now.
He had never had the chance to get married and have children. That was fine, but he was full of refining skills. If he just buried himself under the ground for a long time, even as a ghost, he wouldn't be willing to give up.
Therefore, before that, he had to find someone who could inherit his legacy.
It's just that these things were a little too complicated to explain to Su Xia Yue clearly.
Master One Inch then changed the topic: "You don't need to care about that. Just tell me, how did you get the Nine Palace Deity's box?"
The so-called 'harming one's heart can't be found, but one can't let their guard down'.
Su Xia Yue replied subtly: "These were given to me by two seniors. Since this Nine Palace Box was created by you, then you must remember who entrusted you to make it, or who bought it from you, right?"
"The people who asked me to make this box were a mysterious couple with unfathomable powers. They gave me a lot of money, but they were in a hurry and had a lot of requests."
Master One Inch rubbed his chin as he tried to recall something. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. It was as if the memories of that time had been erased by someone.
Perhaps it was a side effect of prolonging his life, but Su Xia Yue could not do anything about it.
She could only take a step back and say something to Master One Inch: "Then, can you help me open this Nine Palace Divine Box?"
When the Master One Inch heard this, his face revealed a coy smile.
"When I was making this Nine Palace Cauldron, I used the blood of that mysterious couple to create it, so it was impossible for me to open it just by relying on my own blood, or the blood of the husband and wife, or their close relatives' blood, as well as the Martial King's strength, to open it again."
"…"
Su Xia Yue fell into a period of silence.
Martial King. It seems that I have to have the strength of a Martial King to open it.
Xuan Tian comforted her with his void state: "Aunt, with your heaven-defying advancement, you will at most need another seven to eight years! Aren't you already a rank two Martial Saint? "
Seven or eight years is too long.
She had to think of a way to find out the whereabouts of her biological parents as well as who her parents' enemies were.
Just as Su Xia Yue's heart was heavy, Master One Inch also felt that Su Xia Yue was abnormal.
"Little girl, you can't be the daughter of that couple, right?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
He had finally found the person who refined the Nine Palace Deity's box, but in the end, he didn't even know where his parents were. He couldn't even open the Nine Palace Divine Box. The disappointment in his heart made Su Xia Yue wish he could blow this Master One Inch to the horizon in one breath.
However …
Master One Inch was a guy who stopped at sight, who ate softly, afraid that he would be tough, hence he stuck to Su Xia Yue while grinning.
"Little girl, I've already helped you look at the Nine Palace Deity's box. Can you be my disciple?"
"This …"
Su Xia Yue looked down and saw the Master One Inch tugging at his sleeves. Although he only needed to flick a finger to send this guy flying, he really needed to have a refining foundation if he wanted to create a space interface.
Thinking about it, Su Xia Yue wanted to open his mouth and agree.
Who knew that in his haste, this Master One Inch had first offered Su Xia Yue generous conditions.
"Little lady, as long as you are willing to acknowledge me as your master, I can guarantee that I will teach you everything I've learned throughout my life. I can also teach you to raise that Xuan Artifact short dagger by several levels, and at the very least, help you upgrade it to a high-grade divine tool!"
