Su Yu was stunned. Could he have offended the shopkeeper by unintentionally commenting on the sword?
"Do you know who made this sword?" the old man asked, his gaze unfriendly.
"No." Su Yu shook his head.
The old man snorted. "Ignorance is bliss! There is only one first-grade craftsman in the Treasure Heaven Tower, and that is Master Lin! "
After some thought, Su Yu calmly asked, "Should I know him?"
"Ignorant child!" the old man scolded angrily, as if he had been insulted.
His voice was loud, attracting the curiosity of many onlookers.
When they noticed the old man, many of the powerful fighters looked at him with respect.
Even some of the Dragon Realm Level Five fighters could not help themselves. "Master Lin's first disciple, Lin Huainan, is guarding the crafting area today? What a sin! If I had known, I would have gone there. I did not hope to befriend him, but I hoped to be able to mention him to Master Lin. "
"Hehe, who is that silver-haired kid? His clothes are tattered, and his abilities are passable, but he dares to nitpick and deliberately provoke us! "
"In the Alliance City, not knowing Master Lin is a sin! No wonder Lin Huainan is angry! "
..
Su Yu's eyes and ears were sharp. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows. Had he unintentionally offended a famous craftsman?
But … Su Yu calmly replied to Lin Huainan's accusation. "I only used my judgment to point out the flaws in his artifact. I did not falsely accuse him. What wrong did I do? The path of craftsmanship is about constantly improving. If you hide your faults for fear of treatment, you will never achieve greatness. "
"Hahaha …" Lin Huainan was furious. He laughed in anger. "Junior! Do you think you are worthy of teaching my master?
My master's craftsmanship skills are extraordinary. No one in the Alliance City can compare to him. Who do you think you are to teach him? If you want to become famous, I'm sorry to tell you that you need not waste your efforts! "
The Alliance City was a gathering of talents from hundreds of territories. There were many people who wanted to become famous.
But it was extremely difficult to become famous in such a place.
Thus, there were many unscrupulous ways.
Belittling famous people to attract attention was a shortcut.
Lin Huainan shook his head in disgust. "I've seen many ignorant youngsters like you, trying to become famous in vain! However, to dare to have designs on my master, I can only say that you are too stupid! Do you think that with my Master's status and identity, he would bother with a nobody like you? "
Su Yu shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with disappointment. "Then all of you can continue to hide your ailments for fear of treatment. It is difficult for me to feel at ease handing the artifact that I am crafting over to craftsmen like you."
After saying this, Su Yu turned around and walked out.
"You can't achieve your goal, so you accuse us of hiding our illness for fear of treatment? Ridiculous! " Lin Huainan detested these crooked ways, and he shook his head coldly. "Don't come back. The Treasure Heaven Pavilion doesn't welcome you!"
Su Yu did not pay any attention to them. While the crowd was pointing at him, he left as if there was no one else present.
"Huainan, what happened?" Right at this moment, a voice entered Lin Huainan's ears.
Lin Huainan's aged body trembled, and his eyes were filled with excitement as he turned to look at the second floor of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion!
The second floor was not open to the public.
In other words, it was only open to special groups of people. Those who could enter were all influential people.
His Master was crafting artifacts in seclusion on the second floor.
The commotion on the first floor had startled him, and he had sent a voice transmission.
"Master, it was a troublemaker who found fault with the artifact you crafted. I have already chased him away," Lin Huainan replied respectfully.
Master Lin calmly said, "Found fault? My crafting techniques are still a long way from becoming a true master. It is inevitable that there will be flaws. Do not argue with others over this in the future. "
"Yes, Master!" Lin Huainan deeply felt his Master's magnanimity. "But Master, the lad this time was deliberately making things difficult for you. Master, do not take it to heart!"
Master Lin shook his head lightly. His disciple had not completely understood what he meant.
He could not help but sigh. "How did he make things difficult?"
Lin Huainan asked. "This arrogant lad dared to say that there were cracks in the sword that Master crafted! This is ridiculous. Master's crafting skills are perfect, how could there be cracks … "
"Wait! Did he say how many cracks there were? " But what made Lin Huainan's expression freeze was that Master Lin, who was in the attic, had interrupted him.
Lin Huainan did not understand. He repeated Su Yu's words. "There were three fine cracks!"
"He really said three?" Master Lin's voice was a little faster, his tone a little surprised.
Lin Huainan's heart skipped a beat. "Three … Master, could it be that the sword that you crafted …"
"Huainan, the person you met was not a troublemaker, but an expert!" Master Lin sighed after a long time, his tone filled with reproach.
"This sword was used for display, so I did not use my full strength to craft it. There is a flaw in it. When the sword was formed, I discovered three fine cracks, but it was too late to fix it. I did not expect an expert to be able to see through the surface of the sword and accurately discover the flaw! How shocking! "
Lin Huainan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
In his eyes, the sensationalist youth had actually … actually spoken the truth!
"Huainan, where is he?" Master Lin instructed. "Invite him upstairs. I want to meet him in person."
Lin Huainan was stunned. His expression turned ugly, as if the sky had collapsed. He said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, Master!"
Lin Huainan caught up to Su Yu, who had just left, with a look of shame on his face. "Mister … Mister, please wait!"
Su Yu clasped his hands behind his back, his brows creasing. "That's all I have to say. Do you have anything else to say?"
Lin Huainan's face turned red, his heart feeling as if it had been pierced by needles. He was ashamed, finding it difficult to speak. "Mister, I was blind and did not recognize your identity as an expert. My words have offended you. Please come upstairs. My master invites you."
Whoosh —
A gust of cold wind blew past, causing the surrounding onlookers to freeze on the spot.
This youth had actually received an invitation from Master Lin?
In their eyes, the arrogant, sensationalist youth was actually a hidden expert?
Master Lin? Su Yu shook his head. "I'm sorry, I have matters to attend to. I appreciate Master Lin's good intentions."
With such a disciple, how could his master be any better?
Lin Huainan groaned inwardly, knowing that he had implicated his master!
At that moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the second floor. A white-haired, youthful, and spirited old man hurried down the stairs.
The moment he appeared, the entire first floor fell silent.
Only excited whispers could be heard in all directions.
"It's Master Lin! Master Lin, who has not shown himself in half a year, has finally appeared! "
Master Lin strode over, quickly arriving in front of Su Yu. He wore an apologetic smile. "I am Lin Yunhe, and I apologize to you on behalf of my disciple. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. I have been in seclusion for many years and have not taught my students well."
The crowd looked at him with respect. Lin Yunhe had an illustrious status, but he was broad-minded and open-minded.
The reason why he was loved and respected was because his refining skills were extraordinary, but his character was the main point of respect.
Su Yu was surprised. Lin Yunhe did not seem to be as bad as he had imagined.
At this point, Su Yu naturally let go of his prejudices. He smiled and replied, "It's just a small misunderstanding. It doesn't matter."
"Hehe, there are too many people here. Why don't we go upstairs for a chat?"
Su Yu happily agreed. As the crowd envied him, he stepped onto the second floor, where only the rich and powerful had the right to enter.
The crowd dispersed in bewilderment. Ouyang Yuxin and Tan Lin entered at that moment.
Ouyang Yuxin saw that it was Lin Huainan in charge of the craftsmanship area. She bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Elder Lin!"
Lin Huainan's attitude toward Ouyang Yuxin was amiable. "Are you here to meet with my master?"
"Yes," Ouyang Yuxin said, her expression expectant. "Please wait a moment, Elder Lin. Master is meeting with an important guest."
But Lin Huainan had a troubled expression. "Miss Ouyang, please wait a moment. Master is meeting with an important guest."
Important guest? Ouyang Yuxin was shocked. Anyone who could be called an important guest by Lin Huainan had to be extraordinary.
Furthermore, anyone who could enter the second floor was definitely no weaker than the Ouyang family.
"I will wait a moment." Ouyang Yuxin did not dare disturb him.
On the second floor.
Su Yu entered a simple stone room. Lin Yunhe did not put on any airs as he poured tea for Su Yu.
"You are young," Lin Yunhe said with a self-mocking smile. "You are an expert like me at such a young age. You make me feel inferior."
Su Yu realized that he had been misunderstood.
He did not hide anything. "Master Lin, you have misunderstood. I only have some special techniques that allow me to vaguely detect the internal situation of an artifact. I know nothing about craftsmanship."
Lin Yunhe was taken aback. After a long while, he broke into laughter. "Does this mean that you have a unique skill?"
"Master Lin, you flatter me." Su Yu was embarrassed.
