Chapter 110: with translation of chapter title

Outside the Dong Fu, Chen Mu wept with tears like pear blossoms in rain, his whole person in ragged clothes sitting collapsed on the ground.

A pair of big hairy legs were also bare and exposed outside.

What a burly man shedding tears, and these wails naturally attracted the passing disciples of Blacksmith Valley.

Although there weren't many, just a dozen or so, they still whispered among themselves.

"What's going on?"

"Just now he seemed to say something about the Grand Elder, something about a male favorite."

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

"I guess that's it, sigh, after all the Grand Elder has been alone for many years; wanting to find a companion is understandable."

"That's what you say, but this method is perhaps a bit..............."

As they were speaking, a black shadow flashed inside the Dong Fu, and Chen Mu instantly vanished from the spot—clearly Wang Tieshu had made a move.

After bringing Chen Mu back to the Dong Fu again, looking at him, her eyes almost spat fire, her teeth grinding with a creaking sound.

"You brat, what the hell did you just fart? Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

With a thud, he knelt down firmly and decisively, his tone even more resolute.

"Even if I die, today I must bring the sword back."

"You...... could you please get up first before speaking?"

"No, if I don't see the sword, I, as a disciple, would rather die than get up."

Faced with this scene, Wang Tieshu instantly lost her temper; you say kill him, but explaining it to Hong Zun would be awkward, and her feelings toward Hong Zun...... how to put it, the situation is somewhat complicated.

Her eyes showed a hint of helplessness as she spoke.

"You say Divine Sword Peak are all sword cultivators, why do you insist on making a kitchen knife? Even if it's a Treasure Weapon, whose kitchen knife can reach that level?"

"I didn't know before, but from now on the kitchen knives of Divine Sword Peak will be Treasure Weapons, even Divine Weapons."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu spoke earnestly, with no hint of lying; he truly intended to forge a Divine Weapon–level kitchen knife for Divine Sword Peak.

Utterly speechless, she realized that if she didn't give him the knife today, this little brat would not give up.

Speechless, she sat back down in her chair, pondered for a while, then slowly said.

"I can make a move, but you must agree to two conditions."

"Grand Elder, just say it; if I can do it, I won't frown at all."

"Heh, don't rush to agree; hear me out first before deciding."

"First, even if I act, I will not leave my name on this knife, and you must not tell anyone that this knife came from my hand; otherwise, even if you are a disciple of Dao Yi Sect, I will surely kill you."

"Okay."

Seeing this, Wang Tieshu was not surprised either; given Chen Mu's persistence, this request was naturally not difficult, the difficulty lay in the next one.

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

"Alright, second: you find an opportunity to bring Hong Zun alone to San Sheng Shi, on the condition that Hong Zun does not know it was I who arranged this meeting."

San Sheng Shi sounds like some treasure land, but it's actually just a scenic spot; it's famous in Dongzhou because many Dao couples go there to express their love and pledge lifelong commitment.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu froze, his gaze toward Wang Tieshu turning strange.

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

Since it's already been said, Wang Tieshu doesn't intend to hide it, letting out a light sigh before speaking.

"Sigh, who hasn't had a deep, unforgettable love?"

Immediately, Wang Tieshu recounted the story between her and Hong Zun.

Back then, both of them were merely fresh-faced newcomers to cultivation, their strength inferior to that of Chen Mu now.

At that time, Hong Zun was merely an Outer Door Disciple of the Divine Sword Peak of Dao Yi Sect.

Once, while out training, in Yuan Mountain, Wang Tieshu stole a treasure from a great demon and was pursued all the way.

She thought she was doomed, but at the very moment of utter despair, Hong Zun appeared.

Recalling the past, Wang Tieshu's face showed a hint of sweet smile, but paired with her appearance, this smile had nothing to do with sweetness; if one had to describe it, rugged would be more fitting.

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

"Do you believe that in this world, marital bonds are actually predestined, with Heavenly Dao using red threads to link two people who were originally strangers?"

"In every woman's life, there will be a true son of heaven who appears when she needs him most, rescuing her from peril, from water and fire."

"Me and Hong Zun are just like that; at the most dangerous moment of my life, it was he, wielding a long sword, selflessly standing before me."

"Looking at his back then, not yet imposing, I decided I would marry no one but him in this life."

"Although at that time I was already an Inner Disciple while he was merely an Outer Door Disciple, I didn't care; in the face of love, differences in status and position, as well as worldly eyes, meant nothing."

"It's actually funny; I openly expressed my affection, but that blockhead said he was merely an Outer Door Disciple, utterly unworthy of me, and told me to wait for him, wait until his cultivation matured, then marry me in grand style."

"He's truly like a stubborn mule, but I know he loves me; over the years, he went from Outer Door Disciple to Inner Door Disciple, then to Steward, then to Elder, and now to Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak."

"I told him, you've already worked hard and succeeded greatly, but he said, now that I am Grand Elder of Blacksmith Valley, a Ninth-Rank Artifact Refiner, and Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak, it's still not enough; wait until he sits as Sect Master of Dao Yi Sect, then come marry me."

"I know he wants to give me the best, but I am already 2,376 years old, having waited for him bitterly for 1,681 years, 3 months, and 7 days."

"I really can't wait much longer, because I want to give him my best self; in a few hundred years, I'll be past my prime."

As she was speaking, a sudden retching sound came from below, as if her thoughts were interrupted; Wang Tieshu frowned and looked down at Chen Mu.

As he was speaking, a sudden retching sound came from below, as if his thoughts had been interrupted; Wang Tieshu, displeased, lowered his head and looked at Chen Mu.

"Nothing, Grand Elder please continue; the disciple is just feeling a bit chilly."

"No, Grand Elder, please continue; I'm just feeling a bit chilly."

Without thinking much, she continued her recollection.

But Chen Mu down below could hardly hold back; you say your fate with the Peak Master is predestined by Heavenly Dao, linked by red threads.

But Chen Mu down below could hardly hold back; you say your fate with the Peak Master is predestined by Heavenly Dao, linked by red threads.

I think the iron chains used are probably about the same, and they'll all have to be broken for nothing.

Just as I was thinking, Wang Tieshu above also finished recalling, and he spoke with a serious expression.

"So, this time I won't let him bear it alone; from now on, I'll stay by his side."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Speaking, perhaps afraid Chen Mu would refuse, Wang Tieshu thought for a moment and added.

"I also know that Hong Ge is your Peak Master; deceiving him like this isn't good, but it's a well-intentioned lie, so..."

I thought it would take some effort to persuade, but who would have thought that before I finished speaking, Chen Mu spoke righteously.

"I am willing; the affection between Grand Elder and Peak Master truly moves me immensely; even if blamed by the Peak Master, I am willing to go through fire and water for the Grand Elder, just to accomplish this moving love."
