XIAO SHUXIANG'S

119 - Meeting the Forger [Revised]

Xiao Shuxiang was walking around the market, he was just passing by in front of the Branch building of the Peacock Stork Association.

He then approached one of the merchants and bought some cooking spices.

Star Sky City is indeed very famous for the beauty and uniqueness of the market. Especially now, this market is becoming increasingly famous with the existence of the Peacock Stork Association Branch.

Many small hallways that look clean and well maintained. Every morning until night, this market is never empty of visitors.

But among the many small alleys, there is one hall that looks silent, narrow, messy, unkempt and as if hidden from the market crowd.

Xiao Shuxiang scratched his non-itchy head. He had walked here and there, but the place he was looking for had not yet been found.

"Ping Gou said it was around here somewhere. But there are only sellers of clothing and food." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, he returned to walking while putting up his vision well.

Long enough for Xiao Shuxiang to search, he finally found her. A narrow street that only one person can pass through, and it must also go on tilt.

"Ck ck ck, it's worth mentioning as a street rat." Xiao Shuxiang several times had to hit the wooden beam, he almost punched the two buildings clamping him down to make it easier for him to pass.

Xiao Shuxiang finally made it out. He looked at the place behind the hall that turned out to have small shops, but was seedy and uninhabitable.

There was only one building that slightly looked good, the old wooden board that read 'Happy Family' made Xiao Shuxiang's upper lip twitch.

"Gou Ping.. You're not pranking me, are you..? If that happens, all your descendants will be exterminated..!"

Xiao Shuxiang started to step foot towards the Happy Family Shop. There was an old wooden table, one meter tall stretched as he entered the shop.

Xiao Shuxiang started calling the shopkeeper because he did not see anyone standing guard. His eyes glanced around, he only saw some strange paintings on the walls.

"Is this really the right place or not..? Excuse me..?! Is this the Forging Shop?! I want to order a sword..! Excuse me..?!"

"Hey boy, can't you just shut up? Hoaaam.. You're disturbing my sleep?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, he turned his head to and fro, but found no one but himself. Where did that sound come from?!

?!

Xiao Shuxiang heard a resounding rustling sound clearly behind the table in front of him. A head appeared and got higher and higher making Xiao Shuxiang dumbfounded.

"You.. Grandpa Long Beard?!"

"Hmm, ooh! Bad boy, do I know you..?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, it was only fitting that he heard the voice of the old man but could not see it. Apparently the person who spoke earlier was Long Bearded Grandfather, Duan De.

"Grandfather, I'm Xiao Shuxiang..! You ate my chicken a few years ago. The Rest Hall, remember? The Sky Sword Sect, Old Grandpa!!"

Xiao Shuxiang was extremely dislikeful of Duan De's sleepy face. It had not met for a long time, in fact Duan De's body still remained the same, never getting taller.

"Mmm, you offered me to eat it. I never asked for it, so... Who're you?"

Xiao Shuxiang patted his eel, obviously the Two De knew him and still asked who he was..?!

!

Xiao Shuxiang smirked. Both his eyebrows went up and down. Apparently, he just got an idea.

Xiao Shuxiang took out a red-and-white pill, he then placed the pill in front of the chin-backed Duan De with sleepy eyes.

With just two breaths, Dua De instantly fell into shock while covering his nose and mouth. He jumped straight off the stairs.

"Basar the Naughty Boy..! What Stinging Smell Do You Give Me?!" as if the drowsiness went away instantly as Duan De smelled a very pungent scent, even his eyes seemed to be creeping.

Xiao Shuxiang laughed, "It was my red-and-white pill made from rainbow flies. You likey?"

"You made a pill with that stinking insect?!"

"Sure, How? Awesome, right? Hahahaha" Xiao Shuxiang reinserted the red and white pill into his Spatial Ring.

"You are a very rude child, dare to be disrespectful to parents..! I'm your elder..!"

"Grandfather himself why sleep when Xiao Shuxiang speaks? If Grandpa hadn't slept, I wouldn't have done it either."

Duan De shook his head while clucking, he then walked back and climbed onto his beam stairs again.

Duan De said, "I'm just an ordinary human, not like you who are a Cultivator. You haven't slept in a month's time either, but for me it's a big deal. So what brings you here..?"

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled softly, "I heard this is the residence of the Sword Forger. I want to meet him,"

"You're talking to the man you're looking for."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was startled, he was not sure the Long Bearded Grandfather was the Sword Forger.

"It's definitely not you..! My point is the Forger who has made the Night Star Sword, one of the Sky Heirlooms. This place doesn't even have a sword at all..."

The plot!

"How old are you, Grandpa?!" Xiao Shuxiang became curious, obviously Duan De was just an ordinary human. Having such a long life like her was simply impossible..!

Xiao Shuxiang, "Did the angel of life forget to write your name into his book?"

"Lack of Ajar, watch your words. If there's nothing you want, you better get out of here. I'm going to bed,"

The two Des intended to hit Xiao Shuxiang's head again, but quickly the wooden bar was held back by the boy's hand.

Xiao Shuxiang, "So, you've been disguised as a janitor in the Sky Sword Sect all along, huh?"

"Who is undercover? That's my side job-!!"

Duan De gasped when he saw someone dressed as black as night seem to be walking over. The look on his face turned tense, "You. Come and stand by me."

"Why..?"

"Hurry up, boy!!"

Xiao Shuxiang said, he walked quickly to one side of the table and then stood beside Duan De.

Xiao Shuxiang looked at a man with a cold gaze and face walking in, then stopped in front of himself and Duan De.

The man was about 38 years old, with a sword tucked in his waist. Both Xiao Shuxiang and Duan De could smell the scent of blood on the man's body. It seems... He just committed murder.

"Customer, welcome to my shop. Is there anything I can help you with?" Duan De smiled kindly at the man in front of him.

"He.. Coming from the Blood Skull Sect..!" Xiao Shuxiang saw that the ring finger on the cultivator's left hand in front of him was not intact, he then stared carefully at the man's face.

"Just go ahead, I want you to make Xiao Shuxiang this Night Star Sword."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, he met one of the people who dared to wear his name.

Both of his hands clenched, he glared at the man in front of him with a gaze that was like wanting to swallow him alive.

The man noticed the 14-year-old boy's gaze, "You want to die, boy?!"

!!

Duan De immediately pressured Xiao Shuxiang's head to duck, laughing awkwardly he apologized to the Blood Skull Sect cultivator in front of him.

"... He's my grandson, sir. It's his first day learning to forge a sword, please forgive his mistake."

"Hmph, so how's Duan De. Can you make it for me?" the Blood Skull Cultivator no longer cared about Xiao Shuxiang, he asked Duan De to immediately fulfill his order.

"Customer, the Night Star Sword can't be made just like that. If you can find the ingredients, then I'll forge them for you."

Duan De had yet to let go of Xiao Shuxiang's head, he continued to hold back so that the child would not make a mistake that could kill himself.

"The maker..? What do you want?"

"Customer, the basic material of the sword maker is the stars that are in the sky. If you can bring one here, then I can make that sword."

"You're not kidding Xiao Shuxiang, are you? Because if that happens, then all your descendants will be exterminated."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang opened his mouth wide, just now this cultivator spoke in his style?! It is so inexcusable! How dare he become Xiao Shuxiang!!

"Based on the rancid boy..!!"

"Customer, I'm not kidding. Every time someone comes here, they're just like you. That is to make the sword of the Destroying Star. My words are always the same, the sword can be forged if there is a material to make it."

The Blood Skull Sect cultivator then turned his head towards the child whose head was still suppressed by Duan De.

"Well, I'll find that star. You taught your grandson well, especially when acting in front of Xiao Shuxiang."

The Blood Skull Sect cultivator then walked away, Duan De immediately released his pressure on the boy beside him.

Xiao Shuxiang growled, he jumped up the wooden table Duan De and intended to attack the Blood Skull Sect cultivators, but Duan De immediately pulled the collar behind him and slammed Xiao Shuxiang backwards.

Fortunately Xiao Shuxiang was able to balance himself to the point of not hitting the ground. He looked in annoyance at Duan De.

"Grandpa Long Beard, Don't Stop Me! That Person Dares To Wear This Xiao Shuxiang Name, I'll Kill It!!"

"Calm down, you Naughty Boy! I told you once that there were a lot of people who had names like you, you were also one of the fake ones for impersonating other people's names."

"Yes Old Bangka!! I'm the Genuine Xiao Shuxiang..!! They are the Fake..!!"

Xiao Shuxiang was so loud that he claimed to be the Star of Destruction. He almost blew up his temper for meeting the person who wore his name.

Hah ... Hah .. Hah …!

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face, trying to calm down. Duan De shook his head slowly, he then descended from the stairs of his beam and walked away to fetch Xiao Shuxiang a glass of water.

"I will remember his face, I will remember the face of the man who dared to use my name. When my business is done, I'll find him and I'll kill him..!"
