No. 8 is a subordinate of Master Craftsman, but he is even more outstanding in his cultivation and management skills.
His forging skills are not very high and are not as good as his formation level.
Therefore, No. 8 still has reservations about Qing Yi’s judgment.
Qing Yi said that he could achieve a masterpiece within ten years. Although No. 8 did not deny it, he was not very sure.
But now it is a group of fine blacksmiths who are judging, and those blacksmiths also assert that Tsing Yi will only take nine years!
This shocked No. 8 greatly, and also made No. 8's confidence in Qing Yi skyrocket!
"Nine years to achieve a masterpiece? Master Craftsman's apprentices are just like this... The apprentices also have Master Craftsman's personal guidance, but Qing Yi only read a book of forging methods from the mortal family, and the people who taught him were just mortals.
!Doesn’t this mean that Qing Yi’s talent is far superior to that of Master Craftsman’s apprentice?”
Before No. 8 knew Tsing Yi's forging talent, he only regarded Tsing Yi as trash.
If he hadn't been extremely doting on Qi Qi, and Qi Qi was infatuated with Qing Yi, he would have slapped Qing Yi to death!
The fox tribe can only have one partner in their life, but the snake tribe has no such rules.
There is a saying in the mortal world that "snake nature is inherently yin". Although there are loyal people among the snake tribe, there are not many loyal snake tribes. They are more merciful.
Although Qing Yi and Shi Qi are on good terms,
But this is nothing in the eyes of No. 8.
Number 8 also wanted to delay time when he asked Qing Yi to learn blacksmithing and change his identity to join the snake clan.
No. 8 thinks that Seventeen is just playing with Qing Yi. After getting tired of playing with her, Seventeen will get rid of Qing Yi.
And when that time comes, No. 8 will not have to take the risk of being discovered by the Snake Clan, disguise Tsing Yi, and let Qing Yi join the Snake Clan.
How long does it take to go from nothing to something great?
Just look at those fine mortal blacksmiths and you will know,
Those fine blacksmiths are the best among mortals, and their forging talents are outstanding!
But even for them, it will take at least fifty or sixty years to be promoted to fine blacksmiths.
And what about Qing Yi?
Although Qing Yi is a cultivator, being able to practice does not mean that he can forge. There are only one cultivator who can become a fine blacksmith.
No. 8 originally looked down on Tsing Yi, and he didn't even think Tsing Yi could compare with these fine blacksmiths.
It takes at least fifty or sixty years for a fine blacksmith to become a fine blacksmith.
Tsing Yi requires at least hundreds of years of training.
In hundreds of years, let alone Qing Yi, No. 8 would believe her even if she said she was tired of the men in the same village.
Therefore, No. 8 had no hope that Qing Yi could become a fine blacksmith.
Until now, he was convinced that he had found a treasure!
"This guy is a genius who completely surpasses the disciples of Master Craftsman. It is a great achievement for me to hand him over to Master Craftsman!"
Then, No. 8 turned his gaze to Seventeen. At this moment, his heart almost melted.
"My little Seventeen is indeed my lucky star. On the day she was born, I picked up a strange treasure, and my cultivation level increased greatly. Now, if I pick up any piece of garbage on the street, I will be a genius who is expected to be promoted to a craftsman!"
No. 8 was always doting on Qiu Ji, but now, he simply regarded Qi Qi as his heart.
Qing Yi continued to forge, and more and more people were watching.
Some blacksmiths who had gone back to the guest rooms to rest also came back because they heard the rumors. They also wanted to confirm with their own eyes that the blacksmiths who were able to produce fine products in nine years.
More and more voices of admiration surrounded Qing Yi,
Seventeen happy flowers bloomed,
And when he saw Qin Shuo, who was belatedly arriving, Qi Qi's eyes narrowed into slits.
Shi Qi made no secret of her malice towards Qin Shuo. She picked up several pieces of equipment forged by Qing Yi and handed them to Qin Shuo.
She said coldly: "You know how to forge, right? Come on, take a look. This is how fast my men are progressing. How does it compare to yours?"
Qin Shuo had a black line: "Can I tell the truth?"
Seventeen snorted coldly: "If you dare to tell a lie, I will chop you up right now."
Qin Shuo pursed his lips: "Very good! Very good! Much better than me!"
Seventeen nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Shuo stood still in a daze,
Then, after half a day,
He pretended to be confused and asked: "What? Didn't you chop me up because I told lies? Why didn't you do it? I was waiting?"
Shi Qi was stunned for a long time before he realized what he was doing.
She raised the iron sword in her hand and was about to chop it down.
But where could Mei and Lan tolerate her?
With just one move, the two of them stood in front of Qin Shuo.
Jianlan also grabbed Qi Shi's arm with one hand, pinching Qi Qi's skin until it wrinkled.
Shiqi was shocked when she saw the deathly look in their eyes.
She suspected that Mei Lan and the two were zombies, so she pulled her arm back for fear of being poisoned.
There were several scratches on Shiqi's arms, almost causing them to bleed. She was horrified: "They and I are both in the Inspiration Realm, why is the gap so huge?"
She felt aggrieved and knew that she was no match for Mei Lan, so she turned around and shouted to No. 8: "Brother Eight! They bullied me!"
No. 8 also saw Qin Shuo,
His current state of mind was extremely inclined towards Qing Yi, and when he saw Jianlan scratching his precious seventeen, he felt sullen.
He stepped forward and said coldly to Qin Shuo: "Scratch the head of the Green Snake Palace in the Green Snake Palace? Is this how you teach your servants?"
Qin Shuo shrugged: "Attempting to kill the guests of the Green Snake Palace in the Green Snake Palace? Is this how she became the head of the palace?"
When No. 8 saw that Qin Shuo dared to talk back, his impression of Qin Shuo became even worse.
He was already leaning heavily towards Qing Yi, and now he has even sentenced Qin Shuo to death.
He said fiercely: "Apologise! Otherwise, you have despised the authority of the snake clan, and I can kill you now!"
Qin Shuo smiled bitterly: "Okay, I apologize."
He bowed to Seventeen,
Seventeen turned his head and ignored him.
Qin Shuo then said: "I'm sorry, Sir, I just offended you. I shouldn't have told lies. I was wrong."
Seventeen snorted, feeling a little more comfortable.
But Qin Shuo continued: "I'm telling the truth now. Your man's forging talent is rubbish, worse than a dog. Putting it on show here is embarrassing. How can he be embarrassed?"
Shi Qi was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She turned around and wanted to hit him again.
However, No. 8 grabbed Qin Shuo and his eyes became serious when he looked at Qin Shuo.
He thought to himself: "He is provoking the head of the palace and me in public, how dare he?"
To be honest, Qin Shuo himself had no intention of offending No. 8.
Because, before, No. 8 was still conflicted. He had not yet decided whether to choose Qing Yi or Qin Shuo.
But No. 8 knew clearly that Seventeenth was the one who started the trouble, and forcefully asked Qin Shuo to apologize, which made Qin Shuo a little unhappy.
Qin Shuo is just cautious, he is not a coward.
Moreover, No. 8's tendency is already very obvious. He has already made a choice. He chose Tsing Yi.
Now that he has become an enemy, Qin Shuo has no need to use his hot face to stick to his cold butt.
