“Have you thought it through?” Zhu Chuanfeng looked as if victory was within his grasp, and he nodded slightly. “You will understand. It will be very beneficial for you to acknowledge me as your master.

“Don’t be fooled by your talent. You won’t become a Forging Master no matter how talented you are. Without a guide, you might have to waste decades as a Forging Apprentice.”

“Grand Craftsman Zhu, what you say does make sense.” Zhou Shu nodded in agreement.

Under normal circumstances, without someone passing on an inheritance, it was indeed impossible for Forging Apprentices to advance to Forging Master.

There were definitely cases of self-taught geniuses, but they were extremely rare. This was the same in any world.

In his previous life, during the information explosion era on Earth, there was no one who became a scientist without going to university.

But Zhou Shu wasn’t an ordinary person. He did not need to be self-taught. He did not need to learn!

As long as there was something in the Legendary Armament Canon, he would naturally be able to grasp it.

When ranked weapons appeared in the Legendary Armament Canon, he would naturally become a Forging Master.


Under these circumstances, why would Zhou Shu find himself a master?

Not to mention, Zhu Chuanfeng didn’t look as though he was accepting a disciple from the perspective of cherishing a talent.

If it was really just taking in a disciple, shouldn’t it be a two-sided affair?

He actually sent two people to help Zhou Shu think it through after he was unwilling to acknowledge him as his master.

“However, I’ve always been a person with no ambitions. Whether I can become a Forging Master is up to fate.” Zhou Shu shrugged.

“I think it’s quite good to be a workshop superintendent. Superintendent Xiao is already so old, but isn’t he still a workshop superintendent? I think he’s living quite freely.” Zhou Shu glanced at Xiao Zongshui, his eyes flashing with coldness.

He had yet to settle the score with Xiao Zongshui. Now, he actually dared to jump out and fan the flames.

Just because a tiger doesn’t show its might, do you think it’s a sick cat?

Initially, he wanted to be a magnanimous person and not bicker with him about what had happened before. However, he was courting death!

Xiao Zongshui was originally Zhou Shu’s superior and had squeezed him dry before. Even when the Huben Saber first appeared, Xiao Zongshui had claimed credit for it.

Zhou Shu had already disliked him to begin with. But when they were working to complete Great General Meng’s mission, Xiao Zongshui had been quite cooperative, so Zhou Shu couldn’t be bothered to find trouble with him.

Who would have thought that Xiao Zongshui would dare to find trouble with him instead?

If he didn’t take action, he would be bullied in the future!

Xiao Zongshui couldn’t help shivering when Zhou Shu looked at him. He subconsciously shrank his neck, but then he thought about it.

We are both superintendents. You have Her Highness behind you, and I have Grand Craftsman Zhu behind me. Why should I be afraid of you?

Her Highness won’t always pay attention to a small workshop superintendent like you!

Zhu Chuanfeng originally thought that Zhou Shu had already figured it out. But when he heard Zhou Shu’s words, he realized that this brat was playing him!

Zhu Chuanfeng’s expression darkened. In the ten years that he had been a Grand Craftsman, no one had dared to toy with him like this.

“Zhou Shu, don’t try my patience,” Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly. “Zhen Cai, take him to the room next door and let him think about it calmly!”

“Yes, Master!” The middle-aged man with the ninth-rank cultivation took a step forward to grab Zhou Shu’s shoulder with his claw-like hand.

Zhou Shu twisted his body and dodged Zhen Cai.

“Zhen Cai? Your name really suits you.” Zhou Shu sneered. “If you dare to reach out to me again, I will break your arm!”

“How dare you!” Zhen Cai was furious. Although he was Zhu Chuanfeng’s servant, Zhou Shu was too disrespectful.

How dare a mere workshop superintendent insult me?

Does he really think that he can trample on me just because Master wants to take him in as his disciple?

Putting aside the fact that he has yet to acknowledge Master as his teacher, even if he has, he would only be a pawn of Master!

In his rage, Zhen Cai reached out with both hands once more. His fingers bent, and his nails glowed with a cold light. Like a hawk pouncing on its prey, he grabbed at Zhou Shu’s shoulder.

Zhen Cai’s strength was all in his fingers. His fingers could even pierce through leather armor. How could Zhou Shu, a Forging Apprentice barely proficient in the Martial Dao, withstand them?

Zhen Cai had a sinister smile. He could already see ten bloody holes appear on Zhou Shu’s shoulder, and then he would cry and beg his master to accept him!

Crack! Wood chips flew everywhere.

Zhou Shu had appeared behind Xiao Zongshui at some point. Zhen Cai’s sure-kill attack had forcefully grabbed the stool Zhou Shu had just sat on.

The hard wooden stool broke into pieces.

“Stop!”

Zhen Cai was enraged and just about to continue attacking when Zhou Shu loudly yelled while standing beside Xiao Zongshui.

“If you dare to take action again, I’ll call the Divine Constable Bureau and the Country Protector Army over to judge!”

Zhou Shu was standing next to Xiao Zongshui, next to the window.

This was the capital of Great Xia. He only needed to open the window and shout, and very soon, people from the Country Protector Army and Divine Constable Bureau would rush over.

Although Zhu Chuanfeng wasn’t afraid, he didn’t want to cause more trouble.

He waved his hand, signaling Zhen Cai to step back.

“Zhou Shu, do you really want to take things so far?” Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly.

“Grand Craftsman Zhu, what do you mean?” Zhou Shu blinked his eyes innocently. “I am extremely flattered by your desire to cherish talent. It’s just that I know that I am shallow and not worthy of your teachings, so I don’t want to become your disciple.

“Is there a problem with this?

“I’ve never heard of anyone forcibly accepting another as their disciple.”

Zhu Chuanfeng’s expression darkened. There really was no reason to force him to become his disciple.

But Zhu Chuanfeng had never been rejected since he became a Grand Craftsman, much less by a mere Forging Apprentice!

Besides, there was a reason why he had to take Zhou Shu as his disciple!

“Very good.” Zhu Chuanfeng coldly said. “Zhou Shu, you are a talent, so I will be more lenient with you. My stance remains, and I won’t change my mind for now.

“After tomorrow, I can’t guarantee what will happen. You’re on your own.”

Zhu Chuanfeng waved his hand. “Send the guest out!”

Zhen Cai’s expression was cold as he glared at Zhou Shu and gestured him out. “Please!”

With a smile on his face, Zhou Shu cupped his hands toward Zhu Chuanfeng and Xiao Zongshui. “Goodbye.”

Zhen Cai walked Zhou Shu all the way to the door. Before he returned, he whispered darkly into Zhou Shu’s ear, “Superintendent Zhou, the road is slippery at night. You have to be careful!”

“Thanks for your concern,” Zhou Shu said with a smile.

He could tell that Zhen Cai was threatening him, but he didn’t care.

Zhen Cai was just a rookie.

Although he was injured, if he really made a move, he could beat Zhen Cai to the ground with one hand.

Upstairs, Xiao Zongshui bent down and moved closer to Zhu Chuanfeng.

“Grandmaster Zhu, you’re letting him go just like that?” Xiao Zongshui said unwillingly.

“What else can we do? If we start a ruckus here, the Divine Constable Bureau will come. Would it be you who steps in or me?” Zhu Chuanfeng coldly snorted.

“I didn’t expect Zhou Shu to be so stubborn!” Xiao Zongshui said embarrassedly. “But he doesn’t understand your strength, Grandmaster Zhu. If he knows your true strength, then he won’t wait until tomorrow. Tonight, he’ll crawl back here!”

“Cut the crap!” Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly. “If he hadn’t already shown his face in front of Her Highness, things wouldn’t have been so troublesome.

“Hmph, why didn’t you say earlier that you had such a person under you?”

“Grandmaster Zhu, I didn’t know Zhou Shu was so capable,” Xiao Zongshui quickly protested. “If I had known, how could I have let him show his face in front of Her Highness?”

If he had known that Zhou Shu had such abilities, he would have locked him up to develop new weapons specially for the 97th Workshop!

“It’s not too late now.” Zhu Chuanfeng grunted coldly. “Listen carefully. His Majesty has already seen Zhou Shu’s name. There is no need for any other methods. He must acknowledge me as his master. There can’t be any mistakes in this matter, understand?”

“Understood!” Xiao Zongshui hurriedly said. “Grandmaster, what should we do now?”

“Do you need me to teach you how to do it?” Zhu Chuanfeng said unhappily. “Weren’t you full of ideas in the past? I don’t care what you do. I only want results!”

A cold light flickered in Zhu Chuanfeng’s eyes, and Xiao Zongshui felt a chill run down his spine.

“I know what to do. Don’t worry, Grandmaster. I’ll definitely settle the matter.” Xiao Zongshui gritted his teeth.

“Let Zhen Cai follow you. I don’t want any accidents to happen!” Zhu Chuanfeng’s eyes flickered with a cold light.

Zhou Shu walked along the streets for a long time. He could still feel someone staring at him from behind.

He didn’t mind. Although Zhu Chuanfeng was a Grand Craftsman, his Martial Dao cultivation wasn’t high. Even if he personally took action, Zhou Shu wouldn’t fear him.

Unless he shamelessly invited experts, but this was impossible.

After all, on the surface, he wanted to take him in as his disciple. Although he didn’t understand why he wanted to do so, he was certain that he didn’t want to make things too ugly.


So what if he was following him?

He could slap a ninth-rank martial artist to death.

Zhou Shu felt a bit regretful. He should have eaten at Zhu Chuanfeng’s place before turning hostile. What a waste.

I’m hungry. Where can I find something to eat? Zhou Shu rubbed his stomach. Am I really going to put the bill on my tab?

He, Superintendent Zhou, couldn’t afford to do something so embarrassing. He was a superintendent and a famous person on the assassination list. How did he end up having to put a bill on his tab?

Even though he was just a superintendent, he didn’t want to embarrass himself like that.

Zhou Shu was thinking about where he could get a meal when he suddenly heard a voice.

“Superintendent Zhou? Why are you here?”

Zhou Shu was slightly stunned. Am I already so famous? I can be easily recognized on the streets?
