Back in his room on the fifth floor of the restaurant, Shan Shan let out a light sigh, as a faint smile appeared on his face.
If he obtained the position of the champion of the Weapon Refining Competition, there would definitely be a great power that would try to recruit him. If he did not have a strong background, it was very possible that he would offend the other party if he refused.
Of course, when recruiting, those great powers were very willing to give up their capital, especially towards those young artificers with especially astonishing potential. The things they offered were extremely attractive, and under normal circumstances, if the chief himself didn't belong to a certain force, he wouldn't refuse.
She had noticed the commotion on the platform just now.
Although he could not hear what they were saying, he could guess one or two things from their actions. After the rewards were given out, it should be the Divine Armament Hall and the Great Tang Imperial Family that continuously recruited Tang Huan.
If Tang Huan was just an ordinary young artificer, agreeing to their recruitment wouldn't be inappropriate.
However, Tang Huan possessed the "Divine Tools Catalogue's scroll", so if he were to accept the invitation and reveal the secret, it was very possible that it would immediately lead to disaster. Even if there was only a single page of the Divine Tools Catalogue's remnant scroll, it would still attract the coveting of countless experts, not to mention that Tang Huan possessed an entire five pages.
The good thing was that from the movements over there, Tang Huan had probably rejected it.
Although she didn't know what kind of offer the Divine Armament Hall and the Great Tang Imperial Family had made, with Tang Huan's performance in the "Artifact Forging Competition", it was definitely not low, and it was difficult for him to resist the temptation.
"Not good, I have to hurry back. Don't let this bastard discover that I've slipped out."
Seeing that Tang Huan was walking down the stage, Shan Shan was startled. He immediately stood up and ran out of the private room, the sound of his footsteps got weaker and weaker.
"Brother Gu, you actually gave away one of the five great Spiritual Fire's, the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire'."
On the high platform, Wu Xin could not help but shake his head and sigh as he watched Tang Huan's departing figure. Mu Kui and Qing Ye's eyes were filled with amazement.
They all knew very well that the special reward that they had originally prepared for the competition's chief was for Master Gu Yi to personally forge a top-grade and medium-grade weapon that was suitable for refiners. He never expected that Gu Yi would change his mind and send the map of the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" out at the very last moment.
"My talent is limited, to become a Master Refiner is already my limit. Even if I obtain the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire', it's impossible for me to successfully fuse it. If the map is of no use to me, I might as well give it to this little fellow."
Gu Yi lightly stroked his long beard and slowly said, "Moreover, giving him a map, to you, is difficult to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse. If he is able to successfully fuse with the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire', perhaps he will be able to become a Tools Refining Great Master by the age of thirty. Naturally, this would be our Human Clan's great fortune, but if he fails … "
As he spoke up to this point, Gu Yi sighed softly and frowned slightly.
Wu Xin, Mu Kui, and Qing Ye fell into silence upon hearing this. Although Gu Yi did not say it out loud, the meaning behind his words was extremely clear.
Speaking from this point of view, the map that he had given Tang Huan the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" was indeed a good thing or a bad thing.
When the four of them were silent, the crowd had mostly dispersed. Then, a large group of young men began to enter the square to clean up the mess. At this point, the "Weapon Refining Competition", which had gathered thousands of young refiners from all over the continent, had completely come to an end.
However, the effects of the tournament had already begun to ferment.
"What?" That Tang Huan obtained the lead representative of the 'Artifact Forging Competition'? Are you sure it's that little bastard? "
In a quiet courtyard in the western part of Nu Lang (Furious Waves) City, a sharp voice suddenly rang.
The one who spoke was a richly dressed woman around the age of 27 or 28. She had a oval face, red phoenix eyes, beautiful looks, and a mature and slim figure. At this moment, she stared blankly at the old man with grey hair, her face filled with disbelief.
This woman was the Tang Family Patriarch, Tang Tianren's main wife, Mei Xin!
"It's indeed him!" The old man bowed slightly, his expression dark.
"Hateful!" Hateful! That little bastard is actually getting more and more popular. "
Moments later, Mei Xin's shock was replaced by an unconcealable anger. "The five people that Tang Tian Shi chose are all trash and have yet to return. Maybe they all died in the forest of the secret realm. Uncle Lin, that nephew of yours is also a piece of trash. He was actually scared senseless and still hasn't recovered from it even now. If that little bastard were to die in the 'Secret Realm Forest,' things like today would never happen again. "
Uncle Lin slightly lowered his head, not saying a word. He could only bitterly smile.
Mei Xin was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. "If we obtain the position of the champion of this tournament, we will be recruited by others. Uncle Lin, do you know which family will be the one to recruit him?"
"I heard that the Divine Armament Hall and the Great Tang Imperial Family recruited him before, and invited him to go to the Heavenly Forging City and the God-down City. Unfortunately, he rejected them all!" When he heard this news, he was also shocked. There was actually someone who continuously rejected Divine Armament Hall and the Great Tang Imperial Family's recruitment?
"Reject? Is there something wrong with that little bastard's head? "
Mei Xin froze for a moment. Clearly, something unexpected had happened, but right after, she sneered and said, "Reject well!" Reject! If he does not reject us, after we go to Heavenly Forging City or Fallen God City, we will be at a loss of what to do to him. But now, there is a chance for us to make a move. "
She paused for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Uncle Lin, you have to think of a way to get rid of this person. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace!"
"Yes, this old servant understands." Lin Bo slightly bowed.
"Where's the Patriarch? But we're back! " A sarcastic smile appeared on Mei Xin's face as she continued, "Seeing those vile seeds of yours be the chief of the 'Blacksmith's Competition', they must be suffering from a bad taste, right?"
"The moment the Patriarch returned, he was summoned by the Old Ancestor." Uncle Lin quickly said.
"That old thing, why didn't he close his doors and cultivate his skills, why did he suddenly appear out of nowhere?" Hearing this, Mei Xin frowned.
"Madam, please be careful." Uncle Lin was startled.
"What are you afraid of!"
However, Mei Xin snorted in disapproval.
At this time, in the depths of the Tang Family compound, Tang Tianren was walking into a simple and ancient small hall. Not long after, a vigorous voice came out from inside: "Tian Ren, I heard that the Tang Huan who obtained the position of 'Artifact Forging Competition' this time is your illegitimate child?"
"Grandfather, you know about it?"
Tang Tianren's expression was extremely respectful.
Opposite him was a haggard old man in white, his face wrinkled as if he had stepped into a coffin.
"How could I not know about such an important matter?"
The white clothed old man snorted, "My Tang Clan has been in the Nu Lang (Furious Waves) City for more than a hundred years, but there has never been a clan Disciples who has been out there. Tianzhen, you have handled this matter too inappropriately. How can you abandon your son because of the woman's words? Go and invite Tang Huan back to the Tang Family, no matter what you do. "
"Grandfather, this … This … "I'm afraid that it won't do …" Tang Tianren's face changed.
"Why not?"
The white-robed old man's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Tang Tianren lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said: "Grandfather, actually this Tang Huan is not a ….."
… ….
