"From now on, you are my follower. Let's go and have a good talk with that Prince Xuexing!"
After reading the envelope, Tang San happily handed it to Dai Mubai and then called out softly.
As a esteemed disciple of the Tang Clan, he absolutely could not afford to be weak in order to gain more benefits from the Heavenly Dou royal prince in the future.
There must be an attendant by your side!
"……it is good."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai, who had originally planned to leave, hesitated slightly but ultimately followed afterward.
After all, there's nothing wrong with the decision Tang San is making now.
Moreover, this is Tiandou City, and with everyone watching, Prince Xuexing shouldn't do anything reckless.
At the very least, he could reveal his identity as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, claiming that he was here incognito, and make a big enough commotion to make the other party hesitate to act rashly.
A moment later, Tang San and Dai Mubai arrived at the auction house and into a huge lounge reserved for Prince Xue Xing.
"Your Highness, the master has arrived."
Upon seeing Tang San and his group arrive, the royal guards at the gate stared at the two for a moment before sending someone inside to deliver a message.
Before long, the door began to slowly open.
"..."
Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai immediately frowned.
Judging from their appearance, it seems they don't intend to give Tang San a big role, otherwise why wouldn't they come out to greet him personally?
Immediately afterward, a sudden inspiration flashed in Dai Mubai's mind.
A certain possibility came to mind:
Surely they don't intend to detain people and make them work as unpaid craftsmen?
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, his ability to read people and situations far surpasses that of Tang San!
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his unease began to grow stronger.
Finally, he forced himself to remain calm and spoke to Tang San.
"Anyway, we're just talking about hidden weapons, so I don't know anything about them. You can go ahead, I won't go in."
"Okay, remember to take care of the things I asked you to do. I'll check them when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Tang San was filled with disdain and spoke coldly.
He knew Dai Mubai had chickened out.
But in order to maintain his identity as a master of hidden weapon forging, he had to pretend that it wasn't that Dai Mubai refused to go in with him, but rather that he had other plans for Dai Mubai.
Ha ha.
You call yourself a former prince of the Star Luo Empire?
It's just that he hasn't seen any important figures for many years, yet he immediately backed down.
He really is a good-for-nothing!
"Master, please."
Soon, Tang San went inside.
At the same moment, Dai Mubai casually made up an excuse to help Tang San buy forging materials and left.
"..."
The royal guards didn't say much about Dai Mubai's stay.
After all, what their prince wanted was a blacksmith who could subtly criticize others.
As for that thing that looks like a delivery person?
It's optional; even if the other person leaves now, it doesn't matter.
"Master, you've arrived."
As soon as Tang San entered, Prince Xue Xing greeted him.
Seeing this, Tang San didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly in front of the other person.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Judging from your voice, Master, you seem quite young. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. May I ask your name, Master?"
"My last name is Tang."
Tang San thought about it and ultimately only gave him a surname.
After all, although the other party will become his subordinate in the future, their relationship is still just so-so for now, so he naturally can't tell the other party their full name.
It's safer for him to only tell me his surname.
However, as soon as Tang San opened his mouth, a strange light flashed in Prince Xue Xing's eyes.
But soon, he smiled and began to flatter Tang San.
"Tang, what a fine surname! Master Tang, may I ask which school you studied under? Who is your father? Your forging skills are truly unparalleled in this world, and I admire them immensely!"
Is your surname Tang?
That's really not a good surname.
Never mind, if the other party is really from the Clear Sky Sect, we can just hand them over to the Spirit Hall later.
This way, he could not only gain credit from the Spirit Hall, but also completely extricate himself from the situation.
"Your Highness flatters me."
Upon hearing this, Tang San slightly raised his chin, turned to the side to pick up the teacup, and avoided looking directly at Prince Xue Xing, appearing as if he were a superior being.
He was very pleased with Prince Snowstar's praise.
If Dai Mubai were here, he would have shown off to the other party.
"My master is just a hermit from the mountains. As for my sect, there's nothing wrong with that. I come from the Tang Sect!"
"Tang Clan? Just hearing that name makes it seem extraordinary, hahaha."
Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing paused slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little.
Tang Clan?
Pooh.
He'd never even heard of that trashy sect in some remote mountain village; it'd made him worry for nothing.
However, since the other party doesn't have any powerful connections, he can simply detain them!
"Master Tang, from now on you will stay here to manufacture that thing for me... well, that thing from the auction house."
Having thought this through, Prince Xuexing stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.
"But Master Tang, rest assured, I never mistreat my own people. Once you and my men have achieved some success in the workshop, I will personally write to His Majesty to recommend you for credit."
"Cooperation is possible, but what about the materials and labor costs?"
Prince Xuexing's directness stunned Tang San, who frowned and immediately asked a question.
Yes, that's fine, but the compensation must be agreed upon first.
He is a noble disciple of the Tang Clan; he would never let someone take advantage of him for free.
Even if the other party is a prince, it won't work!
Unfortunately, just as Tang San opened his mouth, the leader of the royal guard stepped forward and shouted angrily.
"Who do you think you are? Just a blacksmith, yet you dare to be so disrespectful to our Prince! It is an honor for you to serve the Prince, and you still dare to ask for money?"
"Hey, hey, how can you talk to Master Tang like that? Master Tang, he's just a rough man, don't take it to heart."
Prince Xuexing still had a smile on his face, but his eyes narrowed, and his smile was full of smugness.
The loss suffered by the young master of that unknown sect or family can now finally be regained by this blacksmith surnamed Tang in front of him, allowing him to reclaim some of his royal dignity.
"As for materials, the royal family will handle the collection for you. Just tell them what you need, as long as you can produce a sufficient number of finished products, or teach the royal blacksmiths the forging methods."
"As for the reward, I will personally write to His Majesty at that time. The amount of the reward will be entirely up to His Majesty's decision."
"So, you really don't want to pay?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression immediately darkened, and he retorted with a question.
At the same time, he raised his hand to release his martial spirit and threw several poisoned hidden weapons at Prince Xuexing.
He finally understood that Prince Xuexing was planning to take advantage of him for free and even wanted to trap him!
Even Dai Mubai, the prince of the Star Luo Empire, could only be a lowly dog in front of him.
And now, a mere prince among the natives dares to scheme against him?
You are simply looking for death!
"Blue Silver - Entangling!"
