âHello? Ms. Qin! To what do I owe this call to?â Chen Xiaobei asked politely.
The person on the other line was the number one genius of Vermillion Phoenixâs top-tier family and was in possession of a three-star Earth-God Instrument.
âChilde Chen, are you free these few days? Iâd like to ask you for a favor.â Qin Yitian said.
âI am! Ms. Qin helped me get the Black Water Stone and I havenât even had the chance to repay you! Just tell me what you need!â
âYesterday, a war broke out in Vermillion Phoenix. My comrades sustained severe injuries and the doctors here canât do anything. Can you come and take a look?â
Chen Xiaobei hesitated. âI can but Iâve never been to Vermillion Phoenix before, and I donât have a high-grade spacecraft⊠Iâm afraid it might take me a while to get there. Can the patient make it throughâŠâ
âHe canât!â Qin Yitian almost shouted into the speaker. âWhere are you? Iâll come and get you!â
âIâm in Tenshou Starfieldâs capital planet. In the princeâs official residence. I will ask the prince to meet you when you arrive!â
âYou really are somebody, Childe Chen! You even have the authority to dispatch the Tenshou Prince!â Qin Yitian sounded surprised and impressed.
âYouâre too kind, Ms. Qin. Compared to you, Iâm nothing.â
âAlright, I need to go now! I will be in Tenshou Imperial City by tomorrow morning at the latest. Please get ready!â
âAlright! Weâll contact each other on the phone then!â nodded Chen Xiaobei.
After they had both hung up, Chen Xiaobei turned to Wugui Wangba and said, âAlright. The exchequer is cleaned out. You can do as Iâve asked and deploy the missiles! Iâll be going back to Wugui Kojiroâs place. If you have questions, just give me a call!â
âDonât worry, master!â Wugui Wangba patted his chest confidently. âI know Tenshou inside out. I will make sure that everything goes according to plan!â
âŠ
Chen Xiaobei returned to Wugui Kojiroâs place afterward.
âZhufeng! How was it? Something big happened in the palace!â Ao Liancheng asked as he walked in the door. âThe Army General and the Grand Chancellor were executed and members of the royal family and their officers were whipped until they were bedridden! Are all these your doing?â
Luo Bin and Lin Xue, too, were eager for an answer. Unless they heard it from Chen Xiaobeiâs own lips, they found it difficult to believe.
It was all so outrageous that no logical person would have accepted that as the truth.
âIt seems that you guys are pretty well-informed.â Chen Xiaobei commented. âYes, it was me. My plan is working smoothly. Next, weâll have to wait for the right opportunity before going further!â
âGood heavens!â Ao Liancheng shouted. âZhufeng! Are you sure youâre not a deity? Is there nothing in this world that you cannot do?â
Chen Xiabei shrugged. âIâm not a deity, but I do have a lot of deity friends!â
âOh, youâre too humble! Truly, you are the godliest person I have ever met!â Ao Liancheng praised.
Chen Xiaobei was actually telling the truth. All that he had achieved owed greatly to his deity friends in the Three Realms Red Envelope Group.
Considering Ao Liancheng had never met a deity before, he was unaware of their existence.
To him, Chen Xiaobei was merely kidding to downplay his achievements.
âChilde Zhufeng!â Luo Bin and Lin Xue, too, were impressed. âYou really are remarkable! You are extremely capable! We are blessed to have you on Saint Dukeâs side!
âYouâre too kind!â Chen Xiaobei said. âIâm doing this all for Puti! It is my duty! If I fail, then Iâve neglected my duty!â
Luo Bin and Lin Xue nodded approvingly. âChilde Zhufeng, you are a hero in the making! This maturity, spirituality, and mentality are practically non-existent among the young!â
âŠ
The group chatted for a while after that.
They shared dinner before Ao Liancheng left Tenshou Starfield returning for Neptune.
Wugui Kojiro arranged a separate living quarter for Luo Bin and Lin Xue. It was attended by his most trusted subordinates.
Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, remained in Wugui Kojiroâs study.
âQin Yitian will be here tomorrow morning. Although thereâs not a lot of time left, I shouldnât waste it.â
Chen Xiaobei took out his Green Jade Cauldron and set it on the floor.
âMaster, what are you doingâŠ?â Wugui Kojiro stared openly at the unfamiliar thing. âThis cauldron possesses an extremely powerful Spiritual Attribute! I donât think this is an ordinary itemâŠâ
âYou have a good eye! Iâm going to forge!â
âWhat?! You know how to how to forge?!â Wugui Kojiro repeated, an octave higher. âBlacksmiths are very rare! Most of them are in the forties or fifties! Iâve never seen or heard of a blacksmith as young as you!â
âWell, here is your chance to broaden your knowledge and experience!â Chen Xiaobei then placed a ring and something that looked like crystal into the Green Jade Cauldron.
Wugui Kojiro gasped. âThatâŠThat is a Frozen Heart Spirit Ring! And the other oneâs a material used to craft Frozen Heart Spirit Ring! These two are Tenshou Starfieldâs most precious items!â
Chen Xiaobei made no reply and summoned the Transmogrifying Flame.
âMaster⊠You also know pyrokinesis?! You really are a blacksmith!â Wugui Kojiro was feverish. âChilde Liancheng was right! Master, there really is nothing you cannot do! You really are incredible!â
Chen Xiaobei confessed, âActually, Iâm only an amateur blacksmith. Only if someone tells me the specific instructions, can I learn how to execute it! Without directions, I wonât be able to forge independently!â
Wugui Kojiro looked bewildered. âThen⊠Then what are you doing now? Arenât you forging something?â
âRight now, Iâm just going to embellish this ring!â Chen Xiaobei shrugged. âBack home, I used the Transmogrifying Flame to make many fine jade carvings! Embellishing jewelry and precious stones is just an old profession of mine!â
âEmbellish jewelry and precious stones?â Wugui Kojiro repeated. âMaster, are you planning to use this Two-star Earth-God Instrument to pick up women?â
