Because of the decline of the Wu family and the death of his grandfather, the originally glorious and prosperous Wu family quickly fell from heaven to hell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Never changed.

What is friendship...... Perhaps, except for a vague memory when she was very young, she never experienced it again, and the endless pursuit had already exhausted her, and in the process, her heart became colder and colder, and there was no longer the slightest temperature.

She turned her head, not letting Ye Bai see her red eyes, and didn't ask again.

......

Ximen Sword Workshop.

The figures of Ye Bai and Wu Mei had long since disappeared, and for a long time, Ximen Xionglie, who was motionless and facing the wall, suddenly said coldly: "Ghost!"

As his words fell, a black figure suddenly appeared from the wall next to him, as if it had been hanging there before.

The black shadow bowed to Ximen respectfully: "What does the master command?"

Simon Xionglie's face loomed with murderous intent on his face, and said, "Follow up, if there is any change between these two people, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

The black shadow didn't ask why Ximen Xionglie did this, after listening to the order, he just agreed, and then flashed, and the whole person was like a fluttering black smoke, which dissipated in an instant, and disappeared again.

Seeing the disappearance of the black shadow, Ximen Xionglie turned his face, his thick bearded face was full of cold killing intent, and the words he said were as if they had been frozen in the ice: "I can't kill you in Ximen Sword Fang." It doesn't mean that I can't kill you outside the city!"

"Ye Bai, if you are too arrogant, you will have to pay the price after all! If you obediently left that innate blood crystal, I could have spared your life, but unfortunately...... Young man, if you don't know how to advance or retreat, then you have to blame others!"

After speaking. As soon as Ximen Xionglie's eyes opened, an overwhelming killing intent suddenly came out of his body, and with the coverage of this killing intent, in an instant, many people felt an inexplicable coldness in the entire Ximen Sword Workshop.

Countless people were amazed.

Fortunately, Ximen Xionglie quickly sensed that something was wrong and withdrew his breath. This killing intent quickly faded, but. Some people who are extremely sensitive. Still feeling a chill to the bone, they opened their eyes in horror and looked towards the inner square, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

Above the nine heavens, the wind and clouds change.

......

On the street.

Ye Bai and Wu Mei continued to walk forward, turning a few more corners, and the houses on both sides quickly decreased. After a while, the two of them came to a somewhat dilapidated alley.

Here. There is no one and there is no trace of it, and it is overgrown with weeds. Not even a pedestrian could be seen.

Wu Mei was full of worries before, and didn't pay attention, but at this time, Fang came back to his senses, and in a blink of an eye, he found that Ye Bai had brought him to such a deserted place, although he was still in Blue Mountain City, he was obviously far away from Fang Cai's city center, and couldn't help but be surprised, caught up with Ye Bai and asked, "What are you bringing me here for?"

Ye Bai turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "You'll know in a few moments." ”

Wu Mei was stunned, and didn't say anything more, Ye Bai took a big stride, his big sleeves fluttered, and continued to move forward, Wu Mei was helpless, although he was confused, he could only follow him.

The two of them became more and more remote, and the surrounding scene quickly became desolate, Wu Mei's doubts became deeper and deeper, and he didn't need to ask, he knew that this must be a slum in Blue Mountain City.

Any city has its prosperity, its dilapidation, its glamour, and its unknown side.

No city can do without both, and obviously, in this remote town on the coast of the North Sea, there is no exception.

Looking at Ye Bai's appearance, it seemed that he hadn't reached the end yet, Wu Mei was full of doubts, and finally couldn't hold it back, and caught up again and asked, "Where are you going to take me?"

When Ye Bai heard this, he had to stop, and there was nothing to hide anyway, so he told her directly: "Let's go to Uncle Tai's Sword Workshop!"

"Uncle Tai's Sword Workshop?"

Hearing this, Wu Mei couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Isn't Uncle Tai's Sword Workshop in decline a long time ago? ”

When Ye Bai heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I know this, but even the Ximen Sword Workshop can't do it, the rest of the Zhang and Lu families, not to mention, maybe only the Taishu Sword Workshop, which was stronger than the Ximen Sword Workshop in the past, can do it, we are not far away, come all the way here, we can't go back empty-handed, even if it doesn't work, we have to try." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Mei and said: "After reading it, there is no regret after all, it really doesn't work, let's go to other places, this Tianlong Continent is vast and boundless, and those who can refine six-grade sword weapons must have their own people, and it is impossible to only have this one Blue Mountain Sword City, therefore, either get an unexpected joy, or, directly die, the two must always choose one of the two." ”

When Wu Mei heard this, he couldn't help blinking, and said strangely: "Didn't that Ximen Xionglie just now say that they are eighty percent sure of refining a six-grade sword weapon? A six-grade sword weapon is a rare thing, and I believe that no one dares to say that they will be able to refine it 100 percent successfully, and eighty percent certainty is not low...... Why did you reject him?"

After a pause, Wu Mei said even more strangely: "Besides, don't say anything else, but don't you still have a large piece of Qianpo silver and bronze on your body? Why don't you take it out together, the chance of casting success should be a few points greater." ”

Hearing this, Ye Bai glanced at her with a smile and said, "I believe that you must not know how to forge a sword." ”

Wu Mei looked at him strangely and said: "Wu Mei has spent time chasing and fleeing since he was a child, how can he have time to contact these things, naturally he doesn't understand, do you understand?"

Ye Bai smiled, but did not speak, reached out and took out a thin booklet from his arms, handed it to Wu Mei, and said, "You will understand after reading this." ”

Wu Mei glanced at him suspiciously, and then, taking the booklet in his hand, after only a few glances, Wu Mei was surprised: "Ah, so that's the case, I finally understand, that Simon Xionglie didn't want to forge a sword for you at all, he was just a liar." ”

After speaking, he returned the booklet to Ye Bai, there was still a trace of indignation on his face, I don't know if it was for Ye Bai or for himself, in short, he felt that his young heart had been deceived.

It turned out that all the reasons were actually in this booklet in Ye Bai's arms.

A few years ago, in the Blue Moon Purple Realm Valley, Ye Bai followed his senior sister Gu Xinhua and others to go to the Sword Worship Valley to worship the sword to celebrate his birthday, there, there was once a sword-casting master Gongfu, who had given Ye Bai his life's work, a thin booklet, and the above was all about the sword, all kinds of exquisite, mysterious methods of sword casting.

Ximen Xionglie thought that Ye Bai and Wu Mei were young, and with such a superb material as the innate blood crystal, they would come to the door if they didn't know how to forge swords, if so...... Ximen Xionglie had a wonderful poisonous trick to deceive the innate blood crystal in Ye Bai's hand.

He told Ye Bai and Wu Mei that with this piece of "innate blood crystal", the success rate of casting a six-grade sword weapon could reach more than eighty percent, but in this booklet of the master of gongbu, he clearly told Ye Bai that although a congenital blood crystal alone is precious, if it is used to cast a six-grade sword weapon, its success rate is not more than thirty percent.

And the reason why Ximen Xionglie did this, its ultimate purpose was to let Ye Bai and Wu Mei rest assured that the innate blood crystal in their hands would be handed over to his Ximen Sword Workshop, and then, when Ye Bai and Wu Mei returned to the Sword Workshop to get this sword weapon after a period of time, he deduced that the casting had failed and the blood crystal had been destroyed.

At that time, the contract for casting the sword had been signed, although the success failure rate of the sword casting explained above was very low, only twenty percent, but it was always allowed, and once it failed, when the time came, Ye Bai and Wu Mei could only admit that they were unlucky, the materials and sword weapons were lost, and there was no place to reason, and it was impossible to recover it.

Although after this incident, Ximen Sword Workshop may have lost its reputation for a short period of time, but it secretly enjoys supreme profits, and a superb material for sword refining, innate blood crystal, which cannot be bought with money, in the eyes of sword casters like Ximen Xionglie and others, these superb materials for sword refining are far more precious than any rare treasure, and the loss of reputation for a period of time can be completely affordable.

And Simon is looking at the long term.

What he thought was that once this innate blood crystal fell into their hands, at that time, after tens of hundreds of years, the Ximen Sword Workshop would gather a few other superb materials, and if it could successfully cast a sixth-order, or even just a fifth-order high-grade sword weapon, the Ximen Sword Workshop would be famous, and its prestige would be unmatched for a while.

At that time, the stain of today's sword refining failure will be completely forgotten by people, and instead a legendary reputation that will regain the glory of the ancestors will be achieved in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Ximen Xionglie lied to Ye Bai and Wu Mei, but he never expected that although Ye Bai and Wu Mei did not know how to cast swords, they were by mistake, and they had such a treasure scroll of sword casting, and they were not ignorant of the knowledge of sword casting.

Therefore, Ximen's majestic lie was silently exposed, and his careful thinking of plotting to seize the innate blood crystal in Ye Bai's hand was also in vain, and the boat capsized in the gutter, and to this day, he still doesn't know where he failed.

In fact, what Ximen Xionglie didn't know was that long before entering the Ximen Sword Workshop, Ye Bai had already seen the flashiness of the Ximen Sword Workshop, and then according to the plan to listen more, watch more, and talk more, he knew that the Ximen Sword Workshop had been corroded by the comfort and pleasure of these hundreds of years, and he couldn't make the original six-grade sword weapon at all.

If it weren't for the hope of reporting on the eventuality, Ye Bai would not have gone in at all to ask, and the reason why he only took out a piece of innate blood crystal, but did not take out the other two pieces of Shenxing Meteorite Iron and Qianbo Silver and Bronze was to test whether Ximen Xionglie was honest.
