Schilling's Shadow hadn't expected that Jin Yijue and Xi Mengdie would still be there when he returned to the Black Iron Association.
The two of them stood to the left and right of Jin Yijue. They looked like they were picking out the black iron, but in reality, only Jin Yijue was concentrating on the selection. Xi Mengdie, on the other hand, was glaring at Jin Yijue's back with resentment.
Jin Yijue was still carefully picking out the black iron when he sensed a figure walking in. Only Xi Mengdie, who had an ulterior motive, would be distracted to take a look. Her brows furrowed slightly when she saw the figure walking in.
"Ninth Sister, why is he back?"
Her soft mutterings floated into Jin Yijue's ears. He abruptly raised his head to look at the door. Indeed, the person who came in was Xi Nuoying.
He immediately walked towards her. "You're back after all." There was a faint confidence in his voice. "I've said it before. In such a short period of time, you definitely won't be able to gather so many gold coins."
He smiled faintly and ignored his fiancée, whose face had turned extremely ugly when she saw him walking towards Schilling's Shadow. He waved at the shop assistant.
"Bring out the black iron rulers that Miss Nine has taken a fancy to. I'll pay for them."
Xi Mengdie's face darkened when she heard his words. She walked over quickly and put on a fake smile. "So Ninth Sister doesn't have the money to buy things. Why didn't you tell Third Sister? You're too much. How can you let Yijue pay for this kind of money? Let me do it."
The shop assistant brought out the black iron rulers as she spoke.
Although they were just two small black iron rulers, two shop assistants had to carry them out with both hands. They were already drenched in sweat after just a few steps.
The shop assistant who served Schilling's Shadow earlier was a smart guy. When he saw Schilling's Shadow enter the Black Iron Association, he went to do his job and came to Schilling's Shadow's side.
"Miss Nine, I've already reserved the blacksmith. I'll bring you to him after you pay the gold coins."
Schilling's Shadow nodded, satisfied with his quick service.
Jin Yijue took out the gold coins, but before he could hand them over, Xi Mengdie hurriedly spoke up.
"I'll pay the gold coins as his sister." She gritted her teeth and glanced at the two black iron rulers with a pained expression. She knew that these two black iron rulers had to be expensive, but she didn't want her fiancé to pay for his ex-fiancée, so she could only pay for Schilling's Shadow first. When she returned to the Xi Family … she would settle the score with Schilling's Shadow face to face!
The shop assistant was surprised when he saw Jin Yijue and Xi Mengdie fighting to pay for Schilling's Shadow, but he quickly regained his composure and reported the price with a smile.
Xi Mengdie's eyes twitched. "That expensive?"
The staff member bowed slightly. "Ninth Young Lady has good taste. These two black iron rulers may not be big, but the iron essence in them is extremely pure. The concentration can be said to be one of the highest in the entire Black Iron Association, so the price is naturally much higher."
Xi Mengdie frowned and looked at Schilling's Shadow suspiciously.
"Sister Nine, let's not talk about how you can't afford these two black iron rulers. Even with your status, you don't deserve to own these treasured swords forged from black iron. Won't you become a joke if you hold onto such a treasured sword?"
