The blind man was Tie Tou's father. Most people in the village called him Blind Tie. He had long gotten used to it and did not care. Instead, his real name had long been unknown.
"Tie Tou, do we have guests?" Blind Tie asked Ye Futian and the others.
"Father, it's Little Ling and her guest. Little Ling passed by here, so I asked her to come over and have a look," Tie Tou said to Blind Tie.
"Uncle Tie." Ling shouted in a crisp voice. She was familiar with Blind Tie. Her grandfather, Old Ma, would come here occasionally. According to her grandfather, her parents and Blind Tie used to be good friends. She had no impression of her own parents, but Blind Tie treated her very well, so they had a good relationship. She and Tie Tou were childhood sweethearts, and they grew up together.
"It's Little Ling." Blind Tie's voice became much gentler. "I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your grandfather?"
"Yes, Grandpa is very good." Ling nodded.
"That's good. Old Ma hasn't been here for a while." Blind Tie said, "Come and take a seat. If you don't mind the shabbiness, feel free to take a seat."
"How could that be? We have disturbed you in the first place," Ye Futian said.
"Since you are Old Ma's guest, you are also my guest. However, I can't entertain you. You can do as you please," Blind Tie said. He turned to Tie Tou and said, "Tie Tou, pour some tea for our guests."
"There's no need for that. I see that your ironware is quite good. May I take a look?" Ye Futian asked.
"Alright." Blind Tie nodded.
"Thank you." Ye Futian walked into the blacksmith's shop and looked at the metal. He picked up a knife. Although it was made of ordinary metal, it shone brightly with a hint of coldness. It was polished to perfection.
Ye Futian plucked out a strand of silver hair and placed it on the blade. The hair fell and was cut in half. He could not help but praise, "Good blade."
"Blind tricks." Blind Tie said casually. Ye Futian looked at the swords. They were all the same swords. What really surprised Ye Futian was that they were all exactly the same. There was no difference at all.
"Exquisite workmanship." Ye Futian praised, "How did Mr. Tie manage to forge all these blades so perfectly and uniformly?"
"You can do it if you work in a blacksmith shop for a few decades," Blind Tie replied. He was probably saying that practice makes perfect.
Ye Futian smiled and did not reply. He looked at the other weapons. Chen Yi stood not far away from Blind Tie and kept looking at him. He seemed to be very curious as well.
"Uncle Tie is the best blacksmith in the village. Everything that the villagers use is made by Uncle Tie." He then looked at Tie Tou and said, "Tie Tou, in the future, when your cultivation is strong enough, you can help Uncle Tie."
"I will." Tie Tou nodded with a silly smile and said, "Actually, training is still useful."
"What else can we do?" Ling asked curiously. Although she had heard some things in Four Corner Village, there were still many things she didn't understand because of her young age. Although she wanted to go to a private school to study and cultivate, she didn't really know what cultivation was.
However, her parents had died due to cultivation, so she had a special feeling about the word "cultivation".
"I heard from the master that if you cultivate well, you can fly in the sky and move mountains and seas," Tie Tou said with some yearning.
"Are you going to fly out of the village?" Little Ling asked.
"It doesn't matter. I will take you with me." The two teenagers talked about a topic that even they didn't quite understand.
Blind Tie started forging again. Ye Futian and the others were also bored, so they said, "Ling, we have been here for a while. We shouldn't disturb Mr. Tie."
"Okay." Ling nodded and stood up. "Uncle Tie, we will go back first."
"Okay." Blind Tie nodded and said, "Tie Tou, see Little Ling out."
"Okay." Tie Tou nodded and stood up to lead the way. Although he was still a teenager, he seemed to be somewhat responsible.
"Goodbye." Ye Futian could see that Blind Tie didn't seem to welcome them, so he left with Tie Tou and Little Ling. Beside him, Chen Yi transmitted his voice to Ye Futian, "This person is not simple."
"How is he not simple?" Ye Futian replied.
"I believe that practice makes perfect, but do you believe that someone who can't see can achieve such a level of proficiency?" Chen Yi said, "Moreover, although those ironware are ordinary, they are the best of the best. He can forge ironware to the extreme. If he could cultivate, he would definitely be a great artificer."
"However, I can't sense any aura of cultivation." Ye Futian had the same feeling as Chen Yi.
"It is precisely because we can't sense it that he is not simple. His cultivation might be above us, and much higher," Chen Yi replied with a smile. The two of them communicated telepathically, so no one else could hear them.
Ye Futian revealed a thoughtful expression. If even a blacksmith in the iron shop was this powerful, then the waters of Four Corner Village might be more complicated than he had imagined.
Among the group of teenagers who had walked out of the private school, the young man named Mu Yun had an extraordinary status. Obviously, Tie Tou's status was not that high. However, if Tie Tou's father, Blind Tie, was as they had guessed, then would the fathers of Mu Yun and the other teenagers be ordinary?
Judging from the young man's words, his elder brother should be cultivating in the outside world and was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, the young man wouldn't be so arrogant and speak with such arrogance.
The group continued to walk back. On the way, several teenagers suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way. The young man in the lead was Mu Yun, whom Ye Futian had met before.
"Muyun Shu, what do you mean?" Tie Tou stood in front of the young man and stared at him. Muyun was his first name, and Mu Yun was his surname.
In Four Corner Village, the surname Muyun was very famous. It was one of the most influential surnames in the village.
"Master said that you have made great progress recently. I was wondering when the blind blacksmith would be rewarded by Master. Today, I am here to test on behalf of Master to see if you are worthy." Muyun Shu's eyes were a little frivolous and seemed to be a little disdainful.
The son of the blind blacksmith was rewarded by Master.
This itself made him very uncomfortable.
Ye Futian looked at the three teenagers in front of him with some surprise. He didn't expect these young people to have a conflict here.
He didn't like Muyun Shu. He found that there seemed to be two different ethos in the village. One was secluded from the outside world and didn't fight with others, and the other was like Muyun Shu.
Sure enough, where there were people, there would be grudges. Even teenagers were no exception. This was somewhat similar to his younger days.
"Okay." Tie Tou took a few steps forward, shielding Ling behind him. Flowing light flowed around his body, and an overbearing aura surged from his body. The flowing light made Ye Futian feel a faintly discernible might of the great path.
This surprised Ye Futian. Tie Tou was only in his teens, and it was impossible for him to comprehend the Great Path at this age. Back then, he had only seen one person with a Divine Fetus of the Great Path, but that person was an exception.
It was impossible for Tie Tou to comprehend the will of the Great Path. Then, it could only be said that they were born with this kind of power. Perhaps, it was activated for some special reason.
Was it in that private school?
Previously, when he stood outside the private school, he saw that the sound inside turned into golden characters, like the divine sound of the Great Path.
Muyun Shu glanced at Tie Tou with an unfriendly look.
"Tie Tou, they are outnumbered. Don't fight with them," Ling said hurriedly.
"You talk too much. An orphan is an orphan." Ye Futian frowned. This was the second time that this young man had said such harsh words. He was so young, but his behavior was improper.
"Shut up," Tie Tou shouted angrily. He was very angry.
"This group of little brats." Beigong Ao took a step forward, but he saw Muyun Shu glancing at him coldly. He looked at Beigong Ao and said, "You are not qualified to intervene in the affairs of Four Corner Village. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
Beigong Ao looked at the young man. He was also a little depressed. How could a little guy be so arrogant?
However, at this time, people appeared in the surrounding area one after another. A young man with extraordinary temperament and dressed in luxurious clothes stood quietly in the distance and watched.
It seemed that many people had come, and they were all looking at this side with great interest.
"He is right. Don't meddle," a young man said lazily!
