Chapter 138 Are you interested in blacksmithing?
Xiao Yan and the Rolling Ball Beast rode in a rather bumpy carriage for a long time before finally arriving at Tian Dou City after many twists and turns.
He glanced at Dugu Bo, whose expression wasn't very good. After all, the old monster had only agreed to restrain Flander's two Soul Saints for him, and he hadn't expected Chrysanthemum Douluo to suddenly appear out of nowhere.
So the old monster, who originally planned to fly back to his granddaughter's side after finishing his business, can only accompany Xiao Yan on this carriage again, escorting him all the way back to the academy.
After defeating Chrysanthemum Douluo, Dugu Bo made a special trip to Flander's house. Seeing that the four of them were all cultivating their soul power with their eyes closed, ignoring worldly affairs, he couldn't help but admire Flander's temperament. He was truly like an old monk sitting still, indifferent to worldly matters.
However, before leaving, he still woke up Flander. The old miser naturally said he didn't know what had happened and why the academy had become like this. He also asked Poison Douluo why he had come to their academy. Hearing the other party's explanation, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was right.
Ma Hongjun, who was not yet fully in a meditative state, sincerely praised him, saying, "He truly deserves to be called a teacher."
Xiao Yan then expressed his gratitude to Dugu Bo, even offering to give him the remaining pair of mother and child gallbladders of Tang San. However, the old monster turned his head away unappreciatively, saying that Xiao Yan should keep the items for self-defense. He claimed that his companionship for the rest of the journey was merely a pretext to kill Tang San when he arrived at Chrysanthemum Pass. But Xiao Yan knew that Dugu Bo was worried about his safety.
It was already afternoon when the two got off the car, but as it was the main city of the Heavenly Dou Empire, it was still very lively with people coming and going, and there was even a long queue at the city gate.
"Why is Tiandou City even more lively than usual?" Dugu Bo frowned as he looked at the long line of people entering the city gate. In his mind, even with a large number of people, it shouldn't be like this. Moreover, all of these people were dressed relatively luxuriously, with caravans following behind them. They were obviously wealthy merchants passing through this area.
"The auction should be about to begin." Xiao Yan remembered that the auction was around the middle of the year. Now, the national competition was also about to begin, and everyone was inevitably getting restless.
Upon hearing this, the old monster's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xiao Yan with a very malicious intent.
"Old monster, even if you want to buy some treasures for your granddaughter, you don't need to keep an eye on me. I don't have much money for you to squander." Although Xiao Yan had the champion prize card from the selection competition, he wasn't going to use it so easily.
To everyone's surprise, Dugu Bo looked unhappy: "I'm old enough to be your grandfather, why would I care about your little bit of money? You wait for me to get an admission ticket, and we'll go in together."
"But old monster, even if you get in, you still can't afford it." As a leisurely titled Douluo, Dugu Bo has no sect or faction and doesn't even receive much in offerings on a regular basis. Xiao Yan was naturally puzzled. Could it be that this old monster has his own little treasury?
"Don't talk about money, it's so vulgar," Dugu Bo said with a look of disdain.
"I know you have a good eye, little monster. Just let me know when you see something valuable, and I'll naturally follow up with the buyer."
"No way, you old monster, you actually did murder and robbery? Your great image in my heart has weakened a lot right now."
Xiao Yan was speechless, and the rolling beast on his head nodded in agreement.
"What are you thinking? I have my own plans for following you. Those who can afford good things must be very wealthy. If the buyer is being targeted by others, I will step in to help and earn some pocket money. If I arrive too late, I can only avenge them with tears in my eyes."
Then you must have already helped collect the bodies of many buyers.
Xiao Yan looked at the old monster and shook his head.
The reason the carriage didn't return directly to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was because Xiao Yan wanted to check on President Shi's progress; after all, several months had passed, and there should be some news by now.
Dugu Bo stood outside the door and waited. After all, he didn't need inferior weapons, and he couldn't afford good ones.
Xiao Yan naturally walked past the blacksmith shop on the first floor and went up to the second floor, where he handed the guard the identity certificate that Chairman Shi had given him before their last parting.
He went straight upstairs and heard two people arguing with each other coming from the second floor.
"So you went to all that trouble to call me just to rush out this little necklace? And which noble lady needs it? Her taste is terrible. This necklace is useless and not even pretty."
"No, Titan, when I asked your son to deliver the blueprints to you a few days ago, you readily agreed. You haven't made it yet, have you?"
What a coincidence!
Xiao Yan recognized the voice as that of Chairman Shi, but Titan, who was speaking to him, did not respond.
"What's so difficult about a small necklace? I agreed because I haven't crafted anything in a long time and my hands were itching to do it. Who knew someone would use deep-sea sunken silver to do this kind of thing?"
"So you refused to have it made?"
"Of course I created it."

"
Xiao Yan had already reached the second-floor exhibition hall and saw the tall, white-haired old man sparring with the short Chairman Shi.
"Cough cough."
He coughed deliberately to draw their attention to his arrival.
Titan turned his head curiously to look at Xiao Yan, but turned back after realizing he was a stranger.
"If you ask me, the fact that you specially arranged for the blacksmith to take turns guarding the second floor is a complete waste of effort. Even a kid can come up here easily."
"What are you saying? I gave Xiao Yan this privilege. Do you really think just anyone can come to my private room on the second floor like you?"
"A private room? We're all destined to be blacksmiths, what's there to be greedy about? Besides, my face is my passport. Which blacksmith in Tiandou City doesn't know me, Titan?" Titan said, his face revealing his smugness.
"This child is the one who asked you to forge the Silver Necklace."
Upon hearing this, Titan narrowed his eyes and turned his body toward Xiao Yan, who was approaching them.
Then, quite rudely, she grabbed Xiao Yan by the collar.
"Kid, you've turned such a rare material like deep-sea silver into something fun? I went to great lengths to compress the density of the silver and remove impurities."
"Hey Titan, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yan wasn't short, but standing in front of the towering Titan, he still looked rather small. Fortunately, Titan was just holding him and didn't seem to be trying to lift him up.
However, Titan's action provoked hostility from the rolling beast above Xiao Yan's head.
It immediately landed and evolved into Agumon, spitting out a fireball with its temperature controlled.
Seeing this, Titan immediately released his grip, and with just his right hand, he managed to disperse Agumon's flames.
"Huh?"
Titan was pleasantly surprised to feel the intense heat emanating from his hand.
"Xiao Yan, I remember now. It was you who made me lose all my drinking money for a month. I should have known better than to bet on Yu Tianheng to win. Your martial spirit's flame has a pretty good temperature. How about you come and forge some iron?"
