Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Black Toad Tail, Fox Bear Bone, Wolf Spider Fur, it sounds like you've picked up quite a few things. I wonder if you still remember the front claws and whip tail of the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard?"
"Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard? This guy's body is full of treasures. Who would throw away his things like trash? Is there something wrong with his head? Wait, did you say Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard? " The King of Junk mumbled subconsciously. When he took a closer look at Lin Yi, he was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. He was so excited that he stuttered, "You … Who are you? The Second Brother Lin?"
"Hehe, you finally recognize me. I thought you're ready to turn your back on me after such a long time." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
"You flatter me. I've been waiting for you for the past few months. How could I turn my back on you?" The King of Junk was overjoyed. For a person like him who valued forging as his life, it was rare for Lin Yi to promise him that he could handle a high-end material like the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard. This was something that he had always dreamed of. He was excited every day when he thought about it.
For the past few months, the King of Junk had been making various preparations for this. The reason why he had gone out to collect so many materials from spiritual beasts was also because of this consideration.
Even the King of Junk had once suspected that Lin Yi had forgotten about it. After all, he called himself a forger, but he'd never succeeded in crafting any decent weapons. He didn't think that he had any persuasiveness, or he wouldn't have gotten the reputation of being the King of Junk. It was only natural that he'd be forgotten by people.
If it wasn't for Lin Yi mentioning the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard, the King of Junk would never have linked this person's identity to Lin Yi. He would have thought that this person was here to make trouble for him, just like the other three people.
Lin Yi couldn't help but lament at the sight of the King of Junk's ecstatic expression. This King of Junk really had it tough. Putting everything else aside, he was still obsessed with the path of smithing despite being in such a sorry state. At the very least, it proved that his passion for forging was unparalleled. Just based on this point alone, Lin Yi felt that he had found the right person. Regardless of whether it was dead or alive, as long as one put their heart into it, everything in the world would have spirituality. For a person like the Tattered King who could fully devote his attention to the art of forging, no matter how low the level of the item he forged was, it would still be extraordinary.
"Brother Wang, it looks like you've been in a lot of trouble recently?" Lin Yi pointed at the surrounding ruins and asked with a smile.
The King of Junk's expression froze. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said with an embarrassed smile, "I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Brother Lin. I merely picked up something from the pile of junk they threw away. I didn't expect to get myself into so much trouble. It was clearly something that they threw away, but I picked it up and they insisted that I stole it. Brother Lin, don't you think they're being too unreasonable?"
"Hehe, that's how people are. It's fine if you're just throwing away some junk that no one wants. However, once they find out that they've made a mistake and thrown away the wrong item, it's like cutting off a piece of flesh from their body. Of course, they won't let it go, "Lin Yi shook his head and suddenly asked," How did they know that they made a mistake? Brother Wang, you didn't pick it up in front of them, did you? "
The King of Junk scratched his head awkwardly again and said with an embarrassed smile, "Come to think of it, it's also because of me. Brother Lin, you can also see that people like me can't stand people wasting good things. When I saw them throwing away good things like they were trash, I couldn't help but mutter a few words about it. I don't know how it spread to their ears. That's why they came looking for me. "
Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. The King of Junk's temperament was indeed like this. When he first traded with Chen Heihu, this guy couldn't help but say a few words to change his mind at the last minute and cut off the Nine-tailed Cloud Leopard's front claws and whip tail.
In other words, the reason was actually because of the King of Junk himself. If those people knew that the junk they threw away was good stuff and was picked up by someone else, it would be strange if they could bear it.
If those people were a little narrow-minded, it was inevitable that they would come looking for trouble. Moreover, the King of Junk was basically a coward that could be trampled on by anyone. It could be seen that the King of Junk's EQ was really not high.
"Looking at the situation, they should have been looking for you more than once. Brother Wang, why don't you leave this troublesome place as soon as possible? Instead, you stay here in such a mess?" Lin Yi was puzzled.
The wooden house here should have been burned a few days ago. The King of Junk's burnt and miserable appearance was not caused by Lin Yi's Frenzied Fire Fist just now. After all, the Frenzied Fire Fist had locked onto the three people just now. The King of Junk was at most slightly affected by the fist intent.
If it was not unexpected, the King of Junk's current appearance was left when the wooden house was burned. If it were someone else, they would definitely find a chance to leave in these few days. Even if they were worried and came back to take a look, they would at least clean themselves up. They would not look like this.
"Hehe, I was afraid that Brother Lin wouldn't be able to find them when you arrived, so I've been waiting here." The Tattered King said straightforwardly and honestly.
Lin Yi could not help being speechless for a while. At the same time, he was secretly moved. It was just because of an agreement with a stranger that he stayed here regardless of the danger. It was really rare to see such an honest person like the King of Junk these days.
"Brother Wang, you have been staying here all this time? Then why didn't they find you when they burned the house last time? " Lin Yi could not help but ask curiously. Although the King of Junk's strength was really weak, he could feel that he seemed to be good at hiding himself.
"Yes, they couldn't find me last time, so they burned my house to vent their anger. In fact, I have been hiding here from beginning to end. I just used the Calm Heart Holding Method, so they couldn't find me." The King of Junk smiled proudly.
"Calm Heart Holding Method?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned.
