"Not bad!" Ye Chen nodded and asked, "You already knew my name just now, right?"
"Long Hao, the young master of the Long family in Qingye City?" Ran Chengyun said subconsciously.
When Ye Chen was chatting with her just now, he did tell her her name and origin.
Ye Chen did not deny it, "Yes, I am indeed the young master of the Long family in Qingye City, but you should have seen it just now. I have always regarded fame and wealth as floating clouds, and I don't like to show off!"
"Then what master means..." Ran Chengyun still didn't quite understand.
"I can ask Wang Dachui to forge a sword for you, but the prerequisite is that you must keep it a secret for me!"
"You just don't reveal your true identity to anyone, Master?" Ran Chengyun frowned.
"Exactly!" Ye Chen nodded, "If you agree, I can ask Wang Dachui to forge a long sword for you immediately!"
"I agree, of course I agree. As long as you, Master, allow Master Wang to forge a long sword for me, I hereby swear that I will never reveal your true identity to a third person!"
Ran Chengyun almost didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
Although she most hoped that Ye Chen would make one for her personally, when she thought of the superior status of the weapon refiner, she could only settle for the next best thing.
After all, before this, she had repeatedly asked Wang Dachui for a sword but failed.
Nowadays, it is extremely rare for Ye Chen to let Wang Dachui forge one for her. She does not dare to expect that this weapon refiner, who is far superior to Wang Dachui in weapon refining skills, will personally forge a weapon for a little person like herself.
"Very good, I hope you can keep your word!"
Seeing that Ran Chengyun agreed, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then walked back to Wang Dachui.
"Do the three conditions you just mentioned still count?"
"Of course it counts!" Wang Dachui assured, patting his chest: "Thanks to the guidance of the master, I can take a step forward in the art of refining weapons. Let alone three conditions, even if it is thirty, I, Wang Dachui, will never refuse!"
"I haven't thought of the remaining two conditions yet, but now, I need you to fulfill the first condition!"
Ye Chen was straightforward and immediately asked Wang Dachui to forge a long sword for Ran Chengyun.
To this, Wang Dachui naturally agreed happily and immediately built it on site.
However, Ye Chen did not stay. He talked about the "philosophy of the great road" that even he could not understand, and then drifted away in the eyes of countless pairs of awe.
"Oh, what a pity!"
Looking at Ye Chen's retreating figure, Wang Dachui sighed with emotion: "I thought that after getting to know an expert in weapon refining, I would be able to ask for advice on weapon refining in the future. It seems that I just overestimated my capabilities and offended this expert!
"
While feeling emotional, he also secretly vowed that no matter what, he would find out the origin of this mysterious weapon refiner and then try his best to make friends with him.
Except for Wang Dachui, everyone present felt sad and felt that they had missed an opportunity to get to know a senior weapon refiner.
Of course, some people thought of following him secretly and digging out more secrets of this talented weapon refiner.
But no one dared to take action.
The reason is that no one dares to offend or offend such a mysterious weapon refiner!
You must know that weapon refiners are extremely rare like alchemists, and they are the targets of major forces competing to win over them.
Offending such a high-level weapon refiner is tantamount to becoming an enemy of all major forces.
Since Ye Chen doesn't want to reveal his origins, he naturally doesn't want to show off too much. If he is found to be being followed, no one can afford the consequences.
As Ye Chen left, soon, the news here spread to the ears of Xieyang City's senior officials, as if it had wings.
For a time, high-level officials from all major forces came after hearing the news.
Even the Nangong family is no exception.
Not only the head of the family, Nangong Xian, came, but the eldest lady, Nangong Liuli, also showed strong interest.
But when the top leaders of the major forces came to see this talented weapon refiner, it was too late.
"With such amazing weapon refining skills, a young man under twenty years old can actually do it? It's incredible!"
"This Xianyang City is truly a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"
"It's a pity that this genius weapon refiner is also unwilling to reveal his name and origin just like the genius pharmacist. Otherwise, as long as I can ask him to forge a weapon, my family will be willing to bankrupt it!"
While everyone was disappointed, one woman attracted widespread attention.
This woman is Ran Chengyun!
Many high-level forces have to pay a huge price in order to obtain a weapon forged by Wang Dachui himself. Even if many people are willing to pay a high price, they may not be able to do so.
However, for the first time, this Ran Chengyun actually got a long sword forged by Wang Dachui himself, and it was free of charge.
The most enviable thing is that the quality of the long sword has reached an unprecedented level.
"How virtuous and capable is this girl that she actually receives such preferential treatment from Master Wang?"
"My family leader was originally willing to pay one million gold coins to ask Master Wang to forge a medium-grade weapon, but he was always rejected. How did this girl do it?"
"The most incredible thing is that Master Wang not only forged it for her for free, but the quality of the long sword that was forged reached an unprecedented level!"
While everyone was filled with envy, they also began to ask about the cause of the incident.
When they learned that Ran Chengyun had had a chat with the genius weapon refiner beforehand and was awarded such an honor, many people turned from envy to jealousy.
"Before, I thought he was a playboy who talked nonsense. If I had known that he was such a genius in weapon refining, I would have definitely been the first to strike up a conversation with him!"
"I was standing next to him before, but I ignored him. It's a pity. What a huge pity!"
If others were like this, Ran Chengyun himself felt that he had met a noble person.
If it hadn't been for that small talk, let alone the high-grade long sword in my hand, even if it was a mid-grade long sword, I don't know when I would have had the chance to obtain it, let alone for free.
"Sister Chengyun, can you tell me the specific story?"
When everyone left disappointed, Nangong Liuli, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, approached Ran Chengyun.
Because they are both direct descendants of the Xieyang City family, they have known each other since they were children.
"When I talk about this, I still can't believe it..."
Ran Chengyun did not hide anything, and immediately narrated how she accidentally chatted with Ye Chen, and finally how Ye Chen asked Wang Dachui to build a weapon for her.
However, she did not mention a word about Ye Chen's identity as the young master of the Long family in Qingye City.
Because Wang Dachui was willing to make a long sword for her, it was a deal Ye Chen made with her.
The content of the deal was that she could not reveal Ye Chen's identity.
"Sister Chengyun, your luck is really extraordinary. You were able to meet such an amazing genius by accident. Sister, I am a little envious of you!"
After listening to Ran Chengyun's narration, Nangong Liuli smiled mockingly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you, sister!"
As if remembering something, Ran Chengyun asked curiously: "I heard that your Nangong family will hold a grand party tomorrow. Is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Liuli's expression became even more bitter.
