When Du Shaofu came out of the room, Du Xiaoqing and Du Xiaoyao were in the courtyard, as well as Han Chao. However, Bing Na, Tu Tong, Ou Yangshuang and Du Xiaoman were nowhere to be seen.
Han Chao and Du Xiaoqing were talking endlessly about something. Du Xiaoqing was listening with great interest, not annoyed in the slightest. But when she saw Du Shaofu come out, she immediately threw herself at him happily.
"You've recovered quite quickly." Du Xiaoqing also jumped onto Du Shaofu's shoulder.
A moment later, he learned from Han Chao that Vice Principal Zhuge should no longer be in seclusion. Du Shaofu immediately went to find him.
In the familiar courtyard, still in the refining room, Du Shaofu saw Vice Principal Zhuge. In front of him was a pile of refining materials, surrounded by the aura of spiritual stoves and talisman cauldrons. On his savage face, his seemingly lifeless eyes were filled with shock as he murmured, "Worthy of being the Weapon Sovereign whose name shakes the Central Prefecture. His refining methods are vast and profound, allowing me to benefit greatly."
"Vice Principal." Du Shaofu stood respectfully to one side.
"You've come?" Seeing Du Shaofu, Zhuge Qiangbang's eyes were still filled with shock. Rising, he looked at him for a while before saying to Du Shaofu, "I know the results of the Heaven Martial Assembly. According to the results, after you become the champion, you will naturally receive a weapon refined from my Profound Spirit Connecting Heavenly Vine. During the half year you enter the Heaven Martial Seal Realm, I will be refining in seclusion. By the time you come out of the Heaven Martial Seal Realm, it should be about time."
"Many thanks, Vice Principal." Du Shaofu smiled happily. A weapon personally refined by Vice Principal Zhuge, and refined using the Profound Spirit Connecting Heavenly Vine as the main material, its value and power could be imagined.
"You got it with your own ability."
Zhuge Qiangbang rolled his eyes at Du Shaofu and said, "What weapons are you good at? Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, or whips and daggers? Do you have any special requirements?"
"This …" Du Shaofu pondered deeply. If the Heavenly Palace of Purple Gold could successfully resolve the suppression of the murderous weapon's soul, then he would have to use it in the future. Therefore, if he used the Ice Blade Sword, perhaps he would be more familiar with it in the future.
After pondering for a while, Du Shaofu made his decision and said to Zhuge Qiangbang, "Vice Principal, I want a sword. I don't have any special requests. You can make it for me."
In terms of refining weapons, although he had received the inheritance of his master, the Venerable Weapon, Du Shaofu knew that he was still unable to compare with Vice Principal Zhuge in terms of comprehension. Therefore, he could rest assured in handing over the task to Vice Principal Zhuge.
Zhuge Qiangbang slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Shaofu. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I know. You are domineering and fierce. Although you can defeat ten people with brute force, there is also a saying that softness can overcome hardness. The Profound Spirit Connecting Heavenly Vine's specialty is also in the aspect of dexterity. When the time comes, I will refine a more dexterous sword for you. It just so happens that I have comprehended some of the refining methods of the Venerable Weapon.
"Many thanks, Vice Principal." Du Shaofu smiled. When he came out of the Heaven Martial Seal Realm, he would be able to obtain a weapon that he could use at the moment.
In the refining room, Du Shaofu discussed the refining methods with Vice Principal Zhuge from morning to evening. Then, he did not return to the courtyard. Instead, he went directly to the valley behind the mountain to check on the situation of the King Scaled Demonic Tiger.
The valley was silent. It was obvious that a seal had been placed. From the aura of the seal, it was not difficult for Du Shaofu to feel that it was the work of that girl, Du Xiaoqing. No wonder that girl had not come to the valley to see the King Scaled Demonic Tiger recently. She was not careless and had placed some kind of seal.
Sensing the aura of the seal, Du Shaofu knew that the King Scaled Demonic Tiger was still in seclusion. He did not know when it would come out of seclusion, nor did he know whether the King Scaled Demonic Tiger was in the midst of evolving. Thus, he left the valley after taking a look around.
Only when the sky was filled with the glow of sunset did Du Shaofu return to his courtyard in the Weapon Institute. However, he was somewhat surprised to see Du Yunxin, who was wearing a long light blue dress, in the courtyard. A pair of watery eyes on that rosy moving face was the most attractive sight. She was chatting with Du Xiaobai in a rather familiar manner, as if they had not known each other for a long time.
"Brother Shaofu." Seeing Du Shaofu, Du Yunxin immediately stood up happily. As an influential figure among the new students, her status was equivalent to Gu Xinyan among the older students. In the academy, she was extremely famous. Even in the entire Stone Dragon Empire, she had a certain amount of fame. As an influential figure in Tianwu Academy, her future achievements were naturally imaginable.
"Why are you here?"
Du Shaofu's brows slightly twitched. Thinking back to what his elder sister, Du Xiaoman, had said, he could not help but maintain some distance from the Du Household. He was unable to completely trust them.
"I'm here to congratulate you on becoming the champion. Congratulations, Brother Shaofu." On Du Yunxin's rosy and moving face, there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes. Her voice was soft and gentle, causing Du Shaofu to be unable to say anything.
"Brother, so Yunxin is also brother's little sister." Du Xiaoqing raised her head and held Du Shaofu's arm.
"Yes … but it's not the same."
Du Shaofu wasn't completely clear about the situation and could only maintain some distance from the Du Household. However, facing Du Yunxin, from her clear eyes, Du Shaofu couldn't say anything. Although he maintained some distance from the Du Household, at least he had a good impression of Du Yunxin. Perhaps it was just as Du Yunxin had said. Stone City's Du Household and Stone Dragon Empire's Du Household were originally one family, just a branch family relationship.
The sunset covered the horizon, but Du Yunxin didn't have any intention of leaving. From her conversation with Du Xiaoqing, Du Shaofu guessed that Du Yunxin and Du Xiaoqing were going to sleep together tonight. The two of them were abnormally congenial and they even held hands as they went to the mountain stream to play.
Du Shaofu looked at the mountain stream and the two young and beautiful figures illuminated by the sunset. A slight smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to turn around and return to the courtyard, he once again saw Big Sister Du Xiaoman.
"It seems like you've recovered well. Tomorrow, you will enter the Heavenly Martial Symbol Boundary to comprehend for half a year. I also plan to return to Stone City tomorrow."
Under the setting sun, her figure was graceful. Her long black hair was as smooth as a waterfall. Her eyes were ethereal as she looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Comprehend well and cultivate. You are the hope of our Du Family."
"Big Sister, when you return, send my regards to Big Uncle and Second Uncle. Tell them that I'm doing well in the academy. Also, Second Brother is in Orchid Mountain City. You should also go there. When the time comes, tell Second Brother to go back with you. Second Uncle must also miss Second Brother."
Du Shaofu smiled faintly. After that, he suddenly thought of something and withdrew a Qiankun Pouch from his hand and passed it to Du Xiaoman. He said, "Bring this to Big Uncle. There are some things inside that can be distributed to the members of the Du Family."
Within the Qiankun Pouch was a considerable amount of Du Shaofu's collection. Its value was absolutely shocking to the extreme to the current Du Family.
"Alright, I'll pass it to my father." Du Xiaoman didn't refuse. The two siblings naturally didn't need to be courteous. Her appearance was handsome, and her pitch black eyes were clear like a stream. Under the sunset, she also emitted a tranquil aura. She patted Du Shaofu's shoulder and said, "Third Brother from back then has grown up now."
"Even after growing up, I'm still Big Sister's Third Brother."
A smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face, but his eyebrows slightly raised without leaving a trace. He secretly thought that the twin sister that he had never seen before had also grown up now. He didn't know if she would be like him, often missing the brother that she had never seen before.
"Silly boy, of course you are Big Sister's third brother. Could it be that you are someone else's third brother?" Du Xiaoman smiled. It wasn't too devastatingly beautiful, but it still had an extraordinary beauty. There was also an indescribable allure, and also an otherworldly beauty.
Du Shaofu put away the thoughts in the depths of his heart, then once again thought of another matter. He said, "Big Sister, Du Yunxin of the Du Household came to find me."
Then Du Shaofu roughly told Big Sister Du Xiaoman what Du Yunxin said.
After a moment of silence, Du Xiaoman looked at Du Shaofu. Her eyebrows slightly creased, and the corners of her delicate mouth slightly raised. Her red lips slightly opened, and she said, "What she said should be correct. As far as I know, our Stone City's Du Household and the Stone Dragon Empire's Du Household are also related to each other."
After pausing for a moment, Du Xiaoman continued to say to Du Shaofu, "But I feel that this matter is far from that simple. This time, after I go back, I will properly understand this matter with my father. But at least before this matter is clear, you shouldn't get too close to the Du Household."
"Okay."
Du Shaofu nodded. He also felt that perhaps this matter wasn't too simple. If it was simple, then why didn't he know that the Du Household and the Stone City's Du Household were one family? Why didn't the other people in the family mention it?
After the curtain of night fell, Du Xiaoman said a few words to Du Shaofu before leaving.
Du Xiaoqing and Du Yunxin also came back from playing in the mountain stream. Their faces were rippling with smiles.
In the dark night, the distant mountains and nearby trees, the forest mounds, everything was hazy, as if covered by a layer of black veil.
At the top of the mountain stream's cliff, Du Shaofu quietly stood. The hazy moonlight illuminated his tall and slender figure. His purple robe slightly fluttered, and the hair on his temples gently swayed.
"What are you thinking about?" In the small pagoda, Zhen Qingchun's illusory figure floated out and quietly stood beside Du Shaofu. She also slightly raised her head and looked at the moonlight in the sky.
"Thinking about my father, and my mother and sister whom I have never met?" Du Shaofu softly said.
"Your drunkard father's strength and innate talent are very strong." Zhen Qingchun looked at Du Shaofu, her eyes slightly moved, and said, "But I have never heard of your mother and sister. I thought you only had your father and sister to rely on."
