Chapter 110: Moving and Tragic

Outside the cave, Chen Mu was crying like rain, sitting on the ground in tatters.

A pair of hairy legs were also exposed.

What a tough man shedding tears. And these wails naturally attracted the passing Blacksmith Valley disciples.

Although there weren't many, only a dozen or so, they still whispered.

"What’s going on?"

"Just now he seemed to say something about the Grand Elder, something about a boy toy."

"Could it be that the Grand Elder wants to...........?"

"It’s probably like that. Sigh, after all, the Grand Elder has been alone for so many years, it’s understandable that she wants to find a companion."

"That may be true, but isn't this method a bit...............?"

Just as they were talking, a black shadow flashed inside the cave, and then Chen Mu disappeared from the spot. Clearly, Wang Tieshu had taken action.

Bringing Chen Mu back into the cave dwelling again, she looked at him with eyes that were almost spitting fire, her teeth chattering.

"Kid, you.......... what kind of fart did you just let out? Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

*Thump*—clean and crisp, kneeling firmly, his tone even more resolute.

"Even if I die, I must take the blade back today."

"You............ can you stand up and talk first?"

"I won't. If I don't see the blade, this disciple would rather die than get up."

Facing this scene, Wang Tieshu instantly lost her temper. If you kill him, it’s hard to explain to Hong Zun, and she has feelings for Hong Zun........... how should I put it, the situation is a bit complicated.

A look of helplessness appeared in her eyes as she said.

"You say you are all sword cultivators at Divine Sword Peak, why do you insist on getting a kitchen knife? And a treasure weapon level one at that! Whose kitchen knife can reach the level of a treasure weapon?"

"I didn't know before, but from now on, the kitchen knives of my Divine Sword Peak will be treasure weapons, or even divine weapons."

Hearing this, Chen Mu said seriously, not at all like he was telling a lie, but truly wanting to get a divine weapon-level kitchen knife for Divine Sword Peak.

She was completely speechless. She could see it now: if she didn't give him the blade today, this little brat wouldn't give up.

Sitting back in her chair speechlessly, Wang Tieshu pondered for a long time before slowly saying.

"I can take action, but you have to agree to two conditions."

"Grand Elder, just say it. As long as this disciple can do it, I will never frown."

"Heh, don't be in such a hurry to agree. Listen to me finish before deciding."

"First, even if I take action, I will not leave my name on this blade. In the future, you must not tell anyone that this blade came from my hand. Otherwise, even if you are a Dao One Sect disciple, I will kill you."

"Good."

This point was completely fine. As long as he could get the blade, Chen Mu agreed without even thinking.

Seeing this, Wang Tieshu wasn't surprised. With Chen Mu’s persistence, this requirement naturally wasn't difficult. The difficult one was the next requirement.

To be honest, Wang Tieshu wasn't sure if Chen Mu would agree, after all, it concerned their Peak Master.

"Good. Second, find an opportunity to bring Hong Zun alone to the Three Lives Stone, on the condition that you cannot let Hong Zun know that it was I who invited him."

The Three Lives Stone sounded like some treasure land, but it was actually just a place with nice scenery. The reason it was famous in Dongzhou was that many couples would express their love and promise their lives to each other there.

Hearing this, Chen Mu was stunned, and his gaze toward Wang Tieshu became strange.

"Grand Elder, you........... and our Peak Master............"

Since she had already said it, Wang Tieshu didn't intend to hide it. She sighed softly and said.

"Sigh, who hasn't had a heart-wrenching love?"

Then Wang Tieshu told the story between her and Hong Zun.

Back then, both of them were just greenhorns who had just stepped into cultivation, their strength even inferior to Chen Mu’s current level.

At that time, Hong Zun was just an outer disciple of Divine Sword Peak of the Dao One Sect.

Once, when they were out on an expedition at Ape Mountain, Wang Tieshu was hunted down because she stole a treasure from a great demon.

She thought she was dead for sure, but just when she was most desperate, Hong Zun appeared.

Recalling the past, a sweet smile appeared on Wang Tieshu’s face, but paired with her appearance, this smile really had nothing to do with sweetness. If one had to describe it, "rugged" would be more appropriate.

Anyway, Chen Mu found it an eyesore no matter how he looked at it, but Wang Tieshu didn't care at all, completely immersed in it.

"Do you believe it? The marriages in this world are actually destined by heaven. Heaven uses red threads to connect two people who were originally strangers."

"In every woman’s life, there will be a true love who appears when she needs him most, saving her from danger and fire."

"It is the same for me and Hong Zun. At the most dangerous moment of my life, it was him, holding a long sword, standing in front of me without hesitation."

"Looking at his back, which wasn't yet majestic at that time, I decided that I would not marry anyone but him in this life."

"Although I was already a direct disciple at that time, and he was only an outer disciple, I didn't care. In the face of love, the difference in status and the eyes of the world don't count for anything."

"It’s funny to say, I took the initiative to express my love, but that blockhead said he was only an outer disciple and didn't deserve me, telling me to wait for him, wait for him to achieve success in cultivation, and then marry me in a grand way."

"He really was like a stubborn donkey, but I knew he loved me. In the years that followed, he went from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, then from an inner disciple to a deacon, and from a deacon to an elder, until he became the current Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak."

"I told him he was already very hardworking and successful, but he said that now I am the Grand Elder of Blacksmith Valley, a ninth-grade artifact refiner, and being the Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak is not enough. He said he would wait until he sat on the position of the Dao One Sect Sect Master to marry me."

"I know he wants to give me the best, but I am already two thousand three hundred and seventy-six years old this year. I have waited for him bitterly for one thousand six hundred and eighty-one years, three months, and seven days."
