Just as Yun Chujiu was feeling a little surprised, Li Zhuangzhi arrived.
Ever since he returned from the Blood Sand Island, Li Zhuangzhi often came over to give Yun chujiu some spirit fruits and food. He almost shocked the other disciples!
p
How would they know that Li Zhuangzhi was paying off his debt!
Every time he sent some spirit fruits, Yun chujiu would deduct some spirit stones from his loan slip. It wasn’t easy for him either!
Yun chujiu saw him coming over and asked, “Is elder Duanmu one of elder Wan’s People?”
Li Zhuangzhi shook his head. “I heard from my father that although the two of them have a good relationship, elder Duanmu’s mind is on forging the sword. Therefore, he doesn’t participate in the fight between the sect leader and elder Wan.”
Yun chujiu nodded. If that was the case, even if there was something fishy going on, elder duanmu would probably be kept in the dark.
No matter what, since the mission had to be completed, she would go and take a look.
Therefore, early the next morning, Yun Chujiu strolled to the No. 1 Sword Forging Hall of the upper house.
This sword forging hall was much more imposing than Hall Master Zhuge’s sword forging hall. There were even disciples guarding the door.
The Prime Minister’s former third-grade official. Although the two disciples guarding the door were also inner disciples, their eyes were almost fixed on their foreheads. They were very arrogant.
After Yun Chujiu explained the purpose of her visit, the two of them curled their lips. “A half-baked person like you was actually sent to our upper house’s sword forging hall? Isn’t that ridiculous? !”
Although the two of them said so, one of them still went in to pass the message.
A moment later, that person said with some schadenfreude, “Elder Duanmu said to let you go in through the back door and then go to the backyard to clean the sword. If you do it well, you will be considered to have completed the task.”
That person thought that Yun chujiu would be extremely embarrassed and angry after hearing that and would even argue with them. Who would have thought that Yun chujiu would immediately go to the back door with a smile and humming a song.
What a joke. She was not stupid. It was much easier to clean a treasured sword than to hammer a sword billet. Only a fool would choose to hammer a sword billet! As for why elder Duanmu did not allow her to hammer a sword billet, it was probably because of the old feudalism. He felt that women should not go near the weapon refining furnace.
When Yun Chujiu reached the back door, the disciple guarding the door had obviously received the notice. He did not ask any more questions and directly let Yun Chujiu into the sword forging hall’s backyard.
Yun chujiu looked around and saw that although this was only the sword forging hall’s backyard, it was very spacious and exquisite. There was even a rockery.
Yun chujiu thought to herself, as expected of the sword forging hall of the upper house. It was indeed high-end and high-class.
When she was looking around, she heard a cough. She looked up and saw elder duanmu looking at her with a straight face.
Yun chujiu bowed with a smile. “Greetings, Elder Duanmu. I’m here to do a mission.”
Elder duanmu nodded coldly. “Logically speaking, you should be assigned to the sword forging hall in the lower or middle court. Perhaps something went wrong with the Bounty Hall, which is why you were assigned to me.”.
“However, since you’re here, I won’t make things difficult for you. Wipe the treasure sword in the storeroom. When the sun sets, you can go back.”
Yun chujiu hurriedly said, “I understand. I promise to fulfill my duties.”
Elder Duanmu’s expression was still very cold. He asked a disciple behind him to tell Yun chujiu what to do, then turned around and went to the front yard.
