Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 398: An Offer in Exchange


"I... I..."

"Yue-Xian, what deal did you make with him?" Dan-Hian asked suspiciously since he had only heard Zheng-Fu's words when he sensed psychic killing earlier, and after that, he had not heard anything else at all. But all of a sudden, the young woman said something as if she were having a conversation with someone.

"That's right, Yue-Xian, what did you do with this idiot? And what did he say just now? What does it mean that only you can enter!?" San-Jie was somewhat suspicious as well, so he asked with displeasure, staring at Zheng-Fu.

"In this matter, I cannot tell you why or what happened. The only thing I can tell you is that if I don't follow him, he won't let us go back," the young woman said with a slightly sad face before she shook that feeling off and immediately followed Zheng-Fu. She did not wait for anyone to ask any further questions.

"Won't let us go? Ha ha ha! What are you joking about, Yue-Xian? Do you want to make us laugh to death? Did you guys hear what she said? You think it's worth it…" Before San-Jie could finish his words, when he turned to see the faces of his comrades who were not amused, he stopped abruptly before he asked curiously, "Wha… What happened?

Why are you acting like that? Or do you guys really think that…"

"San-Jie, I think you should shut your rotten mouth up. Otherwise, I'll shut it up by myself if you don't stop talking now!" Dan-Hian spoke up and stared angrily at the young man as he walked closer to stop the young man from talking anymore.

The other comrades also had the same expressions, and that caused the young man to feel extremely stunned by this change. Normally, his comrades would never stop him. But this time, everyone was staring at him as if he were the troublemaker that caused the group to get into trouble.

"I... Yue-Xian?"

But no matter which way he turned, he only saw dissatisfied eyes staring at him. This made him realize that he had done something wrong before shutting his mouth and lowering his head silently.

As for the young woman, she had now followed Zheng-Fu into the magic building. When she entered the building, the first feeling she could feel was that the density of Qi energy that pervaded was very different from the outside as if heaven and the abyss.

"No wonder he didn't let anyone in here!" the woman said, understanding the reason why the young man in front of her did not let anyone inside his building.

Ten minutes had passed…

A moment later, they arrived at a large hall inside the building. Zheng-Fu walked to sit in a chair in the middle of his room and let the young woman sit on the side seat before speaking up, "You must have understood my reason. Why isn't anyone allowed to come inside?" He finished with a slight smile that made him look very charming at this moment.

"So.., I… I don't know what Master wants me to… um…" As soon as she came to her senses, Yue-Xian suddenly asked. But her voice stammered, unable to speak in full words, and her cheeks flushed red.

"What I want you to do isn't that difficult. And it's not morally wrong either. What I need are the forging techniques and all the basic knowledge of forging… that's it." Zheng-Fu immediately spoke of what he needed. The reason he brought the young woman here was that he noticed that she was probably the most knowledgeable and talented person in the group.

This was a great opportunity for him to learn how to forge weapons. Zheng-Fu had already made up his mind that it would not be easy to comprehend in one day, so he thought of talking to this young woman to share the knowledge.

"You want to learn how to forge from me!?" exclaimed the young woman, pointing at herself. She was puzzled and slightly shocked before continuing, "Why are you asking me? There are many books about fundamental forging techniques. You can easily buy them," she asked, staring at Zheng-Fu suspiciously and incomprehensibly.

"Of course, there are some of them for sale. But is the knowledge from the sect directly related to forging available for sale? And the knowledge and techniques from an outstanding disciple like you must be much better than those books," Zheng-Fu smiled and immediately replied to the young woman.

"How do you know that I'm an outstanding inner disciple?" The young woman was even more shocked when she heard Zheng-Fu's words.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing, but just now it's you who let me know. Hehe!" replied Zheng-Fu with a happy smile that he could guess correctly.

"You!!!"

The young woman immediately felt her face heat up when she realized that she had been tricked into telling the truth. And when she had accepted it by herself, she could not deny that she had no better skills or techniques than the average person and also the textbooks that were generally sold.

Sigh…

"I admit it, but... forging the weapon is not something anyone can do. Besides, it took years of practice to understand its principles. And you also need to have a good knowledge of the various minerals that exist in this world. According to the records within my sect, there are more than ten thousand different minerals.

You also need to know about other elements, such as heat and the determination of the force of impact. And what is indispensable is the 'forge hammer', which is the forger's weapon."

Whooooosh!!!

Finished speaking, the woman immediately took out her forge hammer from the dimensional ring. The hammer she took out was not very large; it fit perfectly in her hand. Only the hammerhead was larger than a normal hammer. And it also released a strange aura.

"Is that… a forge hammer?" Zheng-Fu said when he saw the hammer in the young woman's hand.

"That's right, Young Master. This is my personal forge hammer. It was created especially for me. Others can't use it if I don't allow it," explained the young woman, raising her slender face proudly when talking about her buddy hammer.

"This is how it is. May I take a closer look?" Zheng-Fu immediately asked to see the woman's hammer with curious eyes.

"I can let you see. But our previous exchange must be put to an end," replied the woman with a sly smile.

Huh...?

"You're playing it this way?" Zheng-Fu immediately pulled back his outstretched hand. The young woman's request caused him to simper slightly before returning to the same flat expression as before and saying, "Then that's fine, I'll know anyway," Zheng-Fu said, staring intently at the woman's hammer as if his eyes were a scanner.

"Then it's up to Young Master. But I don't think that day will come," the young woman gritted her teeth as she replied to Zheng-Fu. She thought that Zheng-Fu would be caught in her trap, but the result was not what she thought.

"Alright, let's get into the subject we're talking about. As long as you give me the techniques and knowledge of forging, I'll let your comrades go. But if you don't agree, I won't be able to guarantee their safety," Zheng-Fu turned serious once again as he discussed his proposal to the young woman earlier.

"That matter... Um… Well, I'm... Can I think about it first!?" The young woman was very worried. No matter which options she chose, they were important to her. If she had to choose, it would be a very difficult decision.

"Yes, you can. I'll give you some time before the mysterious ore appears, but during that time, you must stay in this room. Don't go out," Zheng-Fu nodded at the response, as he did not want to push her too much. But no matter what, he had to obtain those methods.

Moooooo!!!

Awooooooo!!!

Roarrrrrrrrr!!!

Suddenly, after Zheng-Fu finished speaking, the three monsters' roars rang out before the owners of the voices hurriedly rushed towards the hall. Just a few more steps left they would crash into the closed door. But before they could reach that door, Zheng-Fu forced the door to open by itself for the three of them to enter.

"Demon monsters!!!"

The young woman's face instantly turned pale as she saw the three monster beasts rushing into the hall, all of which were over two meters tall in size, and their bodies were not even in the monster beasts' records. So, the young woman thought they were demon monsters.

"Don't be afraid; they won't do anything to you," Zheng-Fu immediately comforted the young woman. He turned to look at the three who ran in and said with fierce eyes looking at the three of them, "Hurry up and apologize to her!"

Moooooo!!!

Awoooo!!!

Grrrrrrr!!!

When the three of them heard that, they turned their heads toward the young woman before moaning softly in their native tongue. Of course, the young woman did not understand what they were saying, but she could sense what they wanted to convey. And that caused her to feel extremely dazed.

Her mind was filled with so many questions that she wanted to ask Zheng-Fu but did not know how to start. Besides, she could not believe what her eyes saw because she could sense that these three beasts had a higher level of energy than her and also looked extremely formidable.

"The three of you go out first. I'll talk business with this lady. If you guys want to play, go play with those three.

I'll finish my errands first then I'll play with you guys!" Seeing the girl's expression looking better, Zheng-Fu turned to tell Jin-Tian, Black Lotus, and Solo to go and wait outside, or they could play with the three Song brothers because all three of them often went to play with those three every day.

Moooooo!!!

Awoooo!!!

Grrrrrrrr!!!

Upon receiving the order, the three immediately ran out of the hall, leaving only the young woman's daze and doubt, but before she could regain consciousness, the three of them had already disappeared from the hall.

"You can slowly think about it. Let me rest for a moment. It would be several shichens before the appearance of the mysterious ore, so don't hurry. Besides, your seniors and juniors could always wait for you outside... Yaaawn!!!" Finished speaking, Zheng-Fu yawned and closed his eyes, and immediately fell asleep.

"Wai… wai… wait!! You can't leave my friends like that. They…"

Zzzzzzz!!! Zzzzzzz!!!

'Looks like this young woman is a person who doesn't like to talk or express feelings. But she is someone who loves her friends. Therefore, my offer would make her unable to refuse. And when I know how to forge, I'll be able to forge the weapon I want,' Zheng-Fu thought in his mind, expecting the exquisite results of his weapon after he learned the forging technique.
