Chapter 149: How Generous

Yin Wuyou sat on the couch with her legs crossed and a blanket wrapped around her body.

She rested her chin on her knees, unable to suppress her smile. “Haitang, did you hear that? He said he’s going to forge a ranked weapon specially for me.”

Haitang rolled her eyes. Your Highness, do you lack ranked weapons?

What you’re using now is an earth-grade weapon. His Majesty is already helping you customize a heaven-grade weapon!

Zhou… Marquis Zhou can only forge yellow-grade weapons now. Is this worthy of your status?

Seeing no reaction from Haitang, Yin Wuyou firmly shook her head. “You don’t understand!

“Haitang, help me freshen up! I’m going to see my father! He’s a Forging Master now. He must have what other Forging Masters have!”

In the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Feng suddenly sneezed and then shivered.

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and his entire body felt cold.

Before Emperor Yuan Feng discovered him, Zhou Shu secretly left the imperial palace.

That’s not right. I didn’t steal or rob. Why should I be afraid of him?

Just because he’s the emperor?

I’m not afraid of the emperor!

I didn’t steal this Heaven Refining Stone from the palace!

Zhou Shu straightened his back. For some reason, he felt a little guilty.

Although Yin Changhao took away the Heaven Refining Stone back then, he gave me money, and it wasn’t a small sum

Now, it’s back.

I’ve done the country a great service. It’s my duty to take this piece of Heaven Refining Stone.

He put away the Heaven Refining Stone. With this Heaven Refining Stone, he didn’t need to worry about anything else.

After forging the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, he had already used up most of the Heaven Refining Stone that the Mi family had given him. He had also wasted a lot of it in between. After all, this was his first time forging his own weapon, and he had taken a wrong turn in the middle.

Although the Mi family had a Heaven Refining Stone mine, his surname wasn’t Mi after all. So it wasn’t appropriate for him to ask for more.

As for buying, Zhou Shu didn’t have that much spare money.

After becoming a marquis, he didn’t see any other benefits for the time being. But his expenditure was visibly increasing.

The increase in the number of servants in the mansion and the sudden increase in social interactions were all expensive.

Putting everything else aside, just for the sake of forging this Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, the cost of the various materials consumed already exceeded 1,000 taels of gold!

Forging a yellow-grade weapon didn’t cost that much.

After all, the market price of a yellow-grade weapon was only so-so. Ordinary yellow-grade weapons could even be bought for a hundred taels of gold.

But it was Zhou Shu’s first time forging, so he had wasted a lot of materials. He could ignore the other materials, but even a little bit of Heaven Refining Stone was worth a lot!

That fellow Sun Gongping lives paycheck to paycheck. His pockets are cleaner than his face. But even if he didn’t live from paycheck to paycheck, it would take him at least a hundred years to save one thousand taels of gold if he only relied on his salary, Zhou Shu thought.

After leaving the palace, he didn’t return to his residence but instead went to the Marquis Weiyuan residence.

Yin Wuyou had woken up, and he didn’t know if Sun Gongping was awake or not.

Regardless of whether he was awake or not, Zhou Shu planned to give him the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword first.

No matter what, Sun Gongping got injured in order to save him. The Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword was what he had promised Sun Gongping he would forge for him.

Marquis Weiyuan was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had a warm smile on his face and didn’t look like a fierce general who had once dominated the battlefield.

After seeing Zhou Shu, he was very friendly and didn’t blame Zhou Shu for Sun Gongping’s injury.

“This little injury of my son’s has worried you, Marquis.”

Marquis Weiyuan exchanged greetings, filled with emotions. This young man before him was a few years younger than his own child, but he was already on the same level as him.

This person was really incomparable to others.

“Marquis Zhou, you and Ziwen are sworn brothers. He is my wife’s brother, which makes you her brother too. You are not an outsider…” Marquis Weiyuan said.

Zhou Shu awkwardly cupped his hands at the beautiful lady who looked to be in her early thirties. “Greetings, Madam.”

He really couldn’t call her sister.

The two of them were wearing divine constable uniforms, so Zhou Shu knew that they were divine constables secretly protecting him.

“Divine constables, don’t be nervous. I’m not an assassin!” The person who suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Shu raised his hands, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

The two divine constables didn’t relax. They were still holding onto their Spring Embroidered Sabers tightly.

“Who are you!” they shouted.

“Great General Meng sent me.” The man smiled bitterly.

“Great General Meng? Do you have any evidence?” The two divine constables stared at the man with burning eyes.

“Yes!” the man said. “I have a letter personally written by Great General Meng.”

Then he slowly reached into his clothes, as if he was afraid that if he moved too quickly, the divine constables would attack him.

Amoment later, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the two divine constables.

“This letter was written by the great general to the You Marquis. I was going to deliver the letter, but I saw the You Marquis here. I wanted to come over and greet him. It’s a misunderstanding. It’s really a misunderstanding.” The man smiled bitterly.

“Brothers, don’t be nervous.” Zhou Shu smiled and patted the shoulders of the two divine constables. “Since he was sent by Great General Meng, it’s fine.”

“Marquis, that’s not necessarily true. The death soldier that tried to assassinate you was from the great general’s residence. This matter has yet to be investigated clearly.” A divine constable snorted.

Zhou Shu was slightly stunned. He really didn’t know about this. No one would tell him about the case.

‘The messenger from the general’s residence had a flash of shame and anger on his face, but he still said in a low voice, “The great general already knows about that matter. The great general has already sent a petition asking for forgiveness!

“Tm here to give the You Marquis an explanation!” the man said with a serious expression. “The great general said that he brought such danger to the You Marquis because of his incompetence. The great general has already requested punishment from the Imperial Court. For compensation, as long as you

agree, Marquis, the great general wishes to take you as his last disciple.”

The two divine constables were stunned. Great General Meng wants to take the You Marquis as his disciple?

Although they had some doubts about the great general, the great general was still the great general, the undisputed God of War of Great Xia!

Although the You Marquis was a marquis, if he could become the last disciple of the great general, it would be infinitely beneficial to him.

The great general was Great Xia’s God of War. If he became his disciple, he would become a true member of the military. Furthermore, the great general’s connections were not something ordinary people could compare to.

“What can the great general teach me?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.

“In the art of war and the Martial Dao, the great general’s attainments can be said to be top-notch.” the man from the general’s residence said proudly.

“That’s it?” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Then forget about it. It’s useless for me to learn the art of war. As for the Martial Dao, I already have an inheritance.”

The three of them were stunned.

Rejected?

He rejected it?

Could he not know how beneficial it was for him to become Great General Meng’s final disciple?

Great General Meng had no children. To put it bluntly, everything he had would be passed down to his disciples.

Although the You Marquis was a marquis, he didn’t have any real power. If he could become a disciple of the great general, it would only be a matter of time before he entered the military.

“Are you sure, Marquis?” the man from the general’s residence asked.

“Of course. The great general didn’t say I had to agree, did he?” Zhou Shu said.

“That’s true.” The man from the general’s residence shook his head. “Marquis, since you have spoken thus, this humble servant will truthfully report this matter to the great general.”

He cupped his hands and left without leaving the letter behind.

The letter was for accepting him as a disciple. Since Zhou Shu had rejected it, there was no need to keep the letter.

Zhou Shu shrugged. He didn’t care. He had no interest in becoming a disciple. So what if he’s a great general? I’m not going to join the army to fight. ‘m just a Forging Master.

“It’s been hard on you two,” he said. “This is just a little something. Please have some tea, my brothers.”

Zhou Shu took out a banknote from his clothes and stuffed it into the hands of the two divine constables. Then he continued walking forward.

The two divine constables subconsciously looked at the banknote in their hands. Their eyes lit up. Five hundred taels!

How generous!

Five hundred taels was almost as much as their yearly salary.

Originally, protecting the You Marquis was a difficult task. But now it seemed that it wasn’t that difficult

Just as Zhou Shu was rejecting the person from the great general’s residence, in the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Feng clutched his chest.

His chest was tight, and his breath was short.. Is this how you spend the family’s fortune that I have worked so hard to save? Who did you learn this from? My daughter shouldn’t be like this!
