"It seems like you are hiding a lot of things from me, and you think you consider me your friend?"
Hearing what the old drunkard said, Mu Feng's face became interesting and he said something jokingly.
"Don't you hide a lot of things from me?"
When the matter was brought up, the old drunkard refused to give in. He glared at Mu Feng with his drunken eyes.
"What am I hiding from you?"
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, then spread his palms, revealing an innocent look on his face.
"You didn't tell me before that you have a junior brother who is proficient in divine patterns."
The old drunkard spoke righteously.
"This... you didn't even ask?"
Mu Feng was a little speechless.
After all, how could he mention Ling Tian to an old drunkard?
After all, Ling Tian is just his junior brother.
But Tong Xinye is the daughter of an old drunkard.
The nature is completely different...
"Then you didn't even ask about my identity?"
The old drunkard asked Mu Feng in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Forehead……"
Mufeng was even more speechless.
However, he had no intention of continuing to argue with the old drunkard.
Originally, he was just joking with the old drunkard.
Upon seeing this, Ling Tian interrupted the conversation between the two of them at the right time, and said to them with a smile, "Senior Brother Mu Feng, senior, you two should stop fighting."
"That's right, it's pointless to argue about this."
The old drunkard couldn't let go of his drink, so he took another sip as he spoke.
"Boy..."
When he looked intently at Ling Tian, he was about to speak but paused.
Although he now knows that Ling Tian is Mu Feng's junior brother, he still doesn't know Ling Tian's name.
Considering that he was asking for help from others, it seemed inappropriate to directly call Ling Tian a boy.
"Junior Lingtian!"
Ling Tian understood what the old drunkard meant and smiled.
"Oh, Ling Tian!"
The old drunkard nodded, looked at Ling Tian sincerely, and begged Ling Tian, "Please think carefully about what I just said. Although I have nothing to repay you, I still hope you can help.
Help my daughter."
"I am worried that I will not have the opportunity to repay the kindness that my senior has just done to save me. If possible, I will naturally be willing to help my senior with this favor. However, I hope that my senior can be honest with me."
Ling Tian had a smile on his lips, and while speaking, he cast a curious look at the old drunkard.
In Kunyu, although the Tong family in Shenbing City is not a big force, it still has a profound foundation.
At the very least, it can be regarded as a fourth-grade force.
With the strength and divine pattern attainments that the old drunkard just showed, he should have a high status in a family of weapon refiners such as the Tong family.
But why is he so depressed now?
"Why……"
The old drunkard let out a long sigh.
He obviously also understood that since he asked Ling Tian for help, he should be honest with him.
If he concealed anything, he would have the intention of deceiving Ling Tian.
After taking a big sip of wine, he smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to talk about it, you have to start from more than twenty years ago. If you calculate carefully, it should be twenty-three years since I left the Tong family, right?
"
Notice the sad look in the old drunkard's eyes.
Whether it was Ling Tian, Mu Feng, or Ling Nian, they all chose to listen quietly at this moment.
No one interrupted the old drunkard at this time.
"My name is Tong Gui. Although I was born in a side line of the Tong family, when I was young, I was the most gifted person in the younger generation of the Tong family in refining weapons. I am as famous as Tie Heng, who was also born in the weapon refining family of Shen Wen City. Together, we are called Shen Wen City.
Two prides in weapon refining."
"Twenty-three years ago, the Tong family and the Tie family had a dispute over the ownership of a Millennium Cold Iron Mine. Under the mediation of the Artifact Smelting Guild, the two families finally decided to hold a weapon-smelting competition to determine the ownership of the Millennium Cold Iron Mine.
And the people sent by the two families to compete happened to be me and Tie Heng."
"Speaking of which, Tie Heng and I were born into the feuding Tong family and Tie family respectively, but we have a good relationship with each other. We treat each other as friends and opponents, and we often discuss and learn how to refine weapons together to make progress together.
.”
"Although this weapon-refining competition involves the interests of both families, the two of us just treat it as a normal competition and don't pay too much attention to it."
"I didn't expect that an accident would happen while refining the weapon..."
"The refining furnace I was using for refining suddenly exploded at the critical moment of refining the equipment! The equipment in the furnace exploded, turning into countless hot iron pieces and shooting out, seriously injuring me directly. What's worse is that some of them
A piece of iron splashed towards the iron girder who was concentrating on refining a weapon more than ten steps away, directly piercing the iron girder's throat!"
"Because of this matter, the Tie family invited the Weapon Smelting Guild to put pressure on my Tong family, hoping to seek justice. Under pressure, the Tong family had no choice but to expel me from the Tong family and give the Thousand-Year Cold Iron Mine to the Tie family.
"
"It was also from that day on that I made the decision never to touch a refiner again."
At this point, Tong Gui's lonely face couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile.
Killed a friend in the weapon refining competition.
Later, he was expelled from the family.
This kind of thing would definitely not be easy for anyone.
However, Ling Tian just felt strange when he heard Tong Gui's words.
Judging from what Tong Gui just said, neither he nor Tie Heng paid much attention to the weapon refining competition, so it was impossible to use any radical weapon refining methods in the competition.
Since Tong Gui is the most outstanding weapon-refining genius in the Tong family today, how could he possibly make a mistake in the ordinary process of refining a weapon, causing the furnace to explode?
If there is nothing strange in this, even an outsider like Ling Tian would not believe it.
"Senior, have you ever thought that someone was causing trouble when you blew up the furnace?"
Out of curiosity, Ling Tian asked tentatively.
"Of course I have thought about it."
Tong Gui sneered, and there seemed to be a flash of coldness in his eyes.
But soon, his expression returned to calm, "Forget it, none of this is important now."
After such a big thing happened, how could Tong Gui not have doubts about it?
He has absolute confidence in his weapon-refining skills.
Even if it is a mistake, it cannot be so big as to explode the furnace.
So he was sure that someone must have tampered with the refining materials.
As for who had tampered with it, he could guess a thing or two.
Because there were only a few people who had access to the materials for refining weapons at that time.
It's just that there is no conclusive evidence.
Now that more than twenty years have passed, he no longer cares about the past.
The only thing I care about is my daughter.
"Then what happened to your daughter?"
Seeing Tong Gui like this, Ling Tian had no intention of asking further questions, and instead asked him about Tong Xinye.
He wondered that although Tong Gui was expelled from the Tong family, he did not pay Tie Heng for that incident.
Logically speaking, Tong Gui can definitely take his daughter away with him.
With Tong Gui's skill in weapon refining and martial arts strength, even if he leaves the Tong family, he won't be in despair, right?
