Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 319 - 130: Looking for a Weapon Forger as a Father-in-Law

After the recitation was over, the room was silent for a long time, and then even longer.

After a long while, a cold female voice finally came through: "Since you want to study under Master Zhu, I will write a letter for you; you can seek him out.

His craft is not passed on to outsiders, so in the letter I will explain that you are my husband.

But this is just an explanation, Mr. Li, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Yuan thought about it, and indeed, this way, the main goal would already be accomplished.

He was about to speak when suddenly a light cough from the long-legged maid sounded in the room.

Li Yuan: ...

He was ready to speak, but swallowed his words and said, "Li Yuan requests to see Miss."

As the words fell, the door opened, and a cold, enchanting woman with a noble air stood at the door. She raised her head slightly, her brow emotionless as she looked at Li Yuan, and said calmly, "I have no desire to remarry in this life, but I do admire Mr. Li’s talents..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted.

Li Yuan looked at her and said, "I want to marry you."

Cui Huayin looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "I am the Princess Consort Yin, bestowed by the Emperor, you... cannot marry me."

Beside her, the long-legged maid leaned over and whispered, "Miss, we’ve stayed away for six years now, Mr. Li is so talented, why not leave with him?

Perhaps... perhaps we can even see more of Mr. Li’s poems."

These words made Cui Huayin somewhat tempted, but after glancing at Li Yuan, she said, "Then Mr. Li, go find Master Zhu first. If you can truly inherit his weapon-forging craft, then I will marry you and follow you for the rest of my days.

However, I must clarify that even with my letter, Master Zhu might not allow you to study smoothly."

Li Yuan, after hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the long-legged maid behind Cui Huayin.

The maid cheekily blinked at him, with an expression of "mission accomplished."

Evidently, the first time Cui Huayin mentioned "writing a letter" was a trap, but this time it was genuine.

...

...

Three days later...

Early in the morning, Li Yuan rode out of the city with Cui Huayin’s letter and headed to a mountain outside the city.

In the mountains, clouds hovered.

Looking into the distance from the edge of a cliff, he saw a dense forest.

Strolling along the rugged mountain path, he felt a sense of otherworldliness.

Before he got closer, he heard the clinking sounds of hammering and saw several strong men sweating profusely as they hammered iron before a furnace by a natural stream.

Upstream, a middle-aged man with a stern expression lay on a rocking chair, leisurely swaying, the data above his head showing an exaggerated Sixth Grade: "990~1440."

This middle-aged man was one of the two weapon forgers of the Divine Wood Hall — Master Zhu.

Li Yuan respectfully greeted him, then handed the letter to Master Zhu.

Master Zhu had already received the news. He took the letter, read it for a long time, and with a slight lowering of his eyes, said: "Mr. Li, you are Sixth Grade, and I am also Sixth Grade, I should not be arrogant.

Only, if it involves the inheritance of skills, please forgive my rudeness."

Li Yuan said, "Father-in-law, please speak freely."

Master Zhu gave him a deep look and said, "Since you call me father-in-law..."

He paused and said, "The Cui Family recommends excellent blacksmiths to me every month for further training. If you truly want to learn, then start by being a blacksmith." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

To his surprise, Li Yuan was not angry, but said, "Yes, father-in-law, it should be so."

...

Half a month later.

In the blacksmith shop.

A young man, bare-chested, swung a large hammer. Each strike sent sparks flying while precisely shaping the iron billet.

And the line of data before him was...
