Xue Gui left as soon as he said he would. He only took out ten combat weapons from his own tent, and with his iron hammer in hand, he prepared to leave together with Yang Wu.
He didn't want to follow Yang Wu, but he had unfinished business that he needed to complete personally.
The young man was crying non-stop. He couldn't bear to part with his adoptive father. He had a vague feeling that after this farewell, they would be separated by life and death.
"Xiao Fan, practice the Iron Forging Technique that I taught you well. In the future, you will become the most outstanding Weapon Refiner. Father usually beats and scolds you just to make you work harder. Don't waste your talent." Xue Gui revealed a rare amiable expression as he spoke to the youth.
This boorish man had been silent ever since he left the Great Xia. He treated the young man harshly and rarely treated him well.
Now, he wanted to return to Royal City and ask the royal family why they were so unfair to him. He had suppressed it for ten years. If he didn't ask them himself, he would die with regrets in a foreign land.
"Adoptive father, I … I want to go with you." Xue Xiaofan cried.
This young man was of mixed blood. He had the blood of both the Barbarian Tribe and the Great Xia. He had a tragic life. His parents had died long ago, leaving him to wander around. He had almost become food for the spirit demons. After Xue Gui entered the Barbarian Tribe, he coincidentally saved him and took him in. He took him in as his adoptive son and taught him the art of blacksmithing.
The two of them depended on each other for survival. The depth of their relationship was not something that outsiders could understand.
"I'm going back this time. It's not like I'm not coming back. Stay here and watch over the forge. When I come back, if I find that your blacksmithing skills are rusty, I won't forgive you." Xue Gui said sternly.
Then, he casually grabbed a weapon from a corner and threw it to Yang Wu. "This was made from your red essence stone. I'll give it to you. Let's go."
Yang Wu took the weapon and gently weighed it in his hand. He found that the weapon was incomparably light. It was a sword weapon. The scabbard was very ordinary and emitted a slight heat. He didn't think about it and pulled out the sword. A light sound rang out.
Whoosh!
A streak of fiery light rippled, pulsating with scorching power. Sword radiance rushed into the heavens, as if molten lava was splashing everywhere. It was quite dazzling.
"Royal Armament!" Yang Wu exclaimed softly.
He gave Xue Gui a piece of King Grade material, and Xue Gui gave him a King Grade weapon in return. This was a generous gift.
"Yes, I hope you can use it well," Xue Gui replied.
"Alright!" Yang Wu didn't act pretentious as he lightly agreed. He then took out some pills and handed them to Xue Gui, saying, "These are Healing Pills, Qi Boosting Pills, and Meridian Opening Pills. Maybe he can use them."
He was naturally referring to Xue Xiaofan.
Xue Gui raised his eyebrows slightly and took the pills without hesitation. He turned around and stuffed them all into Xue Xiaofan's hands. Then, without saying another word, he strode forward.
"Godfather!" Xue Xiaofan cried out as he held the pills. Moreover, he knelt heavily on the ground. Scenes from the past few years flashed through his mind.
"Little brat, from now on, you'll stay by my side and be my son."
"From today onwards, I'll teach you the art of forging. Listen carefully. If you can't forge properly, you won't have any food to eat."
"Forge a thousand hammers a day and tidy up the weapons one by one. If you can't even do this, how can you become the most outstanding Weapon Forger in the future?"
"You're an idiot. Watch how your father forges."
… …
Over the past ten years, his godfather had been incomparably harsh to him. He rarely smiled or showed any concern, but he silently remembered it. He knew that it wasn't that his godfather didn't love him, but that he loved him too much, which was why he treated him this way.
He remembered that once, when he burned his hand while forging, his godfather kicked over the furnace without even thinking about it. Then, he carefully applied medicine and bandaged his hand, allowing him to rest for three days.
He remembered that once, when he went out, he was almost trampled to death by a bull demon. That night, he was able to eat delicious roasted beef.
He remembered that once, when he was very cold that day, his body wasn't feeling well and he couldn't stop crying. It was his godfather who held him in his arms and accompanied him to sleep.
… …
His heart was filled with incomparable sadness. He didn't want his godfather to leave. His godfather was his only family in this world. Without his godfather, what meaning would there be in his life?
The black skinned youth madly ran as fast as he could. He wanted to chase after that back figure, but no matter how he chased, that back figure was getting further and further away. When that back figure was completely blurred, he fell to the ground. His mouth was filled with mud as he sobbed, "Godfather, don't go. Godfather, don't go. Fan 'er doesn't want you to go ….."
Unfortunately, no matter how he cried, that rough back figure completely disappeared from his misty eyes, never to be seen again …..
In the distance, Yang Wu sighed and said, "Don't you think it's very cruel? At the very least, you should give him a sliver of hope. "
Xue Gui ran as if he was flying as he said, "He is already an adult and can grow up independently. He doesn't need me to take care of him anymore. Only when I leave, can he become the most outstanding Armament Master."
"You've really given it a lot of thought." Yang Wu said. Following that, he said, "You can ride that wild red hare horse. Walking like this isn't a solution."
Xue Gui didn't stand on ceremony. His body gently floated and landed on the back of the wild red hare horse. The wild red hare horse was extremely wild and wanted to throw Xue Gui off its back. But no matter how it jumped, it was unable to throw him off. The difference in strength between the two was not just a little.
Just like this, Yang Wu brought Xue Gui with him on the return journey.
Although the barbarian soldiers wanted to keep Xue Gui, they knew that Yang Wu was an extraordinary person. They didn't dare to make a rash decision and could only wait until they reached the barracks to make a decision.
On the way, Yang Wu took the initiative to talk to Xue Gui. Unfortunately, Xue Gui was like a taciturn gourd. When he asked one or two questions, he only replied with one or two words. He was simply colder than Meng Bingxue. Yang Wu could see that he wasn't in a good mood, so he didn't continue to pester him. Instead, he took out a bow and tried to figure it out. He wanted to practice archery.
Archery was the barbarian's strong point. Although Yang Wu won the competition against Shi Lige, it didn't mean that his archery skills were outstanding. He had more potential than them and used his own advantages to win the competition.
Now, he had obtained Shi Lige's Fallen Moon Bow. This bow felt extraordinary. Even though it was missing a corner, it still had an incomparably sharp aura. He couldn't bear to part with it.
Yang Wu lightly held the Fallen Moon Bow and asked Little Hei on his shoulder, "Little Hei, I feel that this bow is extraordinary. Do you think so?"
Little Hei's senses were much sharper than his. She only glanced at it and said, "There is something hidden inside. There is a set of archery skills hidden inside. It's a pity that the main part of the bow is damaged. Otherwise, it could be considered a celestial weapon."
"What? This is a celestial weapon?" Yang Wu cried out.
Xue Gui's ears were very sharp. He was born with a keen sense for weapons. He rode his horse to Yang Wu's side and looked at the bow. "Give me the bow."
This kind of harsh tone would make anyone unhappy, but Yang Wu didn't mind. He casually tossed the Fallen Moon Bow to Xue Gui.
Xue Gui caught the Fallen Moon Bow and said in surprise, "How did this bow end up in your hands?"
"I won it." Yang Wu replied.
"Oh." Xue Gui replied softly. He touched the bow and said, "The Fallen Moon Bow is indeed a celestial weapon. It's a pity that the core part is damaged. There is no way for me to use it to its full potential. If I can find heaven-grade materials, I am confident that I can reforge it."
After he finished speaking, he threw the Fallen Moon Bow back to Yang Wu.
Then, he muttered, "It is said that the Fallen Moon Bow was a weapon used by a barbarian ancestor. It was refined from moonstone. One arrow could cause the sun and moon to fall. Its power was limitless. After this ancestor died, the Fallen Moon Bow disappeared after many twists and turns. It was only recently obtained by the Shi tribe. Unfortunately, it has already been damaged. It can only be compared to a normal royal weapon."
"With such a powerful background, it seems that I have struck it rich." Yang Wu said complacently.
"Of course. When they came to me to restore this celestial weapon, it was a pity that they were barbarians …" Xue Gui said calmly. Then, he leaned back on his horse and lay down without saying another word.
His meaning was very clear. Because they were barbarians, he didn't reforge the celestial weapon for them. Once the celestial weapon reappeared, it would only kill the people of the Great Xia.
Yang Wu sincerely admired Xue Gui's patriotism. He was in the Cao camp, but his heart was in the Han camp. It was a pity that the royal family had made him bitterly disappointed.
"Little Hei, you said that this bow has a set of archery techniques. How do I get it?" Yang Wu asked.
"Use the power of your Celestial Court to break through the restrictive power of this broken bow." Little Hei replied.
"It's that simple?" Yang Wu said in surprise.
"How difficult can it be? This kind of small trick is the same as the Sealing Bead. It's a pity that not many people have discovered it. When you reach the Heavenly State, you can easily do it too." Little Hei said.
"Heh, when we return to the Great Xia, I will try again." Yang Wu laughed and put away the Fallen Moon Bow. He didn't intend to do this in public. If he caused a commotion, the barbarians wouldn't allow him to take the bow away.
Soon, they arrived at the place where the barbarian army was located.
Huangfu Dalong and Shi Shafeng led a team to personally receive Yang Wu.
They were incomparably enthusiastic. They didn't look like they were hostile at all.
"Honored guest, Yang Wu, have you enjoyed the beautiful scenery of our tribe and the enthusiasm of our ladies?" Huangfu Dalong asked Yang Wu with a smile.
"The scenery of the grasslands is extremely beautiful. The ladies are also very enthusiastic. It's very good." Yang Wu answered truthfully.
"Then why don't you stay for a few more days?" Huangfu Dalong asked.
"Haha, no matter how good the grasslands are, it's not as good as my hometown. I should go back as soon as possible so that everyone can be at ease." Yang Wu laughed.
"Well said, well said. General Shi has already asked people to prepare good wine and dishes. How about we drink together before you go back?" Huangfu Dalong said.
Shi Shafeng also revealed a warm smile and said, "That's right. Young Master Yang, drink with us. May our friendship last forever."
News of Yang Wu's actions at Mount Barbarian God had already spread. They treated Yang Wu differently.
Yang Wu pondered for a moment before answering, "Okay!"
He didn't know that not only did the barbarians know about his actions in the grasslands, but even the barbarian army had received secret reports.
