Chapter 287: Do you know this woman? Part1
Xavier immediately sighed. It looked like this brother of his had already made up his mind.
He looked awkwardly at Jorden and scratched his head. “If you don’t mind, can we stand here and watch what the young girl is doing?”
“It’s been a while since I have witnessed a smith’s excellent work.”
Xavier’s weak ass explanation did nothing to ease Jorden’s doubts.
He was now more sure than ever that there was something going on here.
But the dwarf simply smiled and bowed, before leaving the area.
His troop members were still vigilantly searching for the assailant but Jorden silently went back to the palace courtyard and watched the young dwarven girl and the two elven princes standing beside her from afar.
He wanted to see just how many surprised this young no name dwarven girl could bring him.
Once the various experts and the other examiners sort of dispersed, everything calmed down and returned back to its previous state.
The crowd had also been cleared, so mostly it was just Tang Yue and a few other dwarves now, and of course, the two elven princes.
Because of this huge incident, the people not longer chatted about the single dwarven guy who had actually been accepted as a Grandmaster’s personal disciple.
They were rather gossiping more enthusiastically about the young girl Yana, who apparently had heaven-breaking talents, which even the elves acknowledged.
Rumors were flying far and wide, each more exaggerated than the other.
Some said that the elven princes who had visited the royal city were so impressed with Yana that they even wanted to personally recruit her to work in Eldoria.
Others argued that the young girl had apparently broken through and become a Grandmaster herself in the midst of the contest.
Some even envied the young girl, lamenting that the elven Crown Prince had fallen in love with her on the spot.
So the man was personally standing guard next to her and waiting for her while she was in the state of enlightenment state.
In the end, the name Yana became extremely famous in the royal city in just a couple of hours!
And the woman under the spotlight was still peacefully drifting in her own world, comprehending insights into the Hundred Bangs Refinement technique.
It was almost a little past midnight when Tang Yue finally stirred awake from her stupor.
She had no idea what had just happened and blinked her eyes as if she was waking up from a deep slumber.
Immediately, Xavier clapped his hands, happy from the fact that he didn’t have to stand here anymore like a lunatic.
The smile on Xander’s face widened as well.
But before either of them could talk to Tang Yue, she suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Xander was immediately about to unleash the full power of his cultivation base when a voice quickly transmitted a small message into his ears.
“Bro, what happened? What happened? Where is she?” Xavier hurriedly asked.
He had aged more than 10 years just this day worrying over when his brother might erupt and declare war.
Xander, however, surprisingly remained calm. “Let’s go back for now.” He mouthed the words with a pensive expression on his face.
“Go back to the Dwarven palace?” Xavier asked, a look of uncertainty on his face.
“No, let’s go back to Eldoria,” Xander replied.
What? Without Tang Yue?
He didn’t know why his brother who had been doting on Tang Yue to such an extent would suddenly leave her side.
And where did Tang Yue disappear to?
Xavier was extremely confused, but he didn’t question his brother.
He knew when to mess around with his brother and now didn’t seem to be the time for it.
Xavier silently followed Xander and the duo casually alighted onto the sky in the middle of the night.
After that, they disappeared from the Dwarven Empire in the next couple of seconds, traveling almost at the full speed that they could muster.
“Brother, seriously, what happened?” Xavier looked extremely worried.
Xander stopped moving and turned and looked back at him solemnly.
“There is a Deity realm elder in the Dwarven Empire.”
Xavier shuddered, almost losing his balance mid-air.
“D… Deity level expert???” He disbelievingly repeated back. “But that’s impossible!”
“We would have known?”
“No. No. No. Brother, you must surely be mistaken!!!”
Xavier started panicking.
The current delicate balance in the Nine countries and the fragile peace amongst the higher beings existed only because the elves were in power.
And why were they in power?
It was definitely not because the different races wanted it. It was not like the elves were worshiped and revered by everyone.
It was only because the elves currently had the most powerful and strongest cultivators.
They held an overwhelming advantage over others in terms of raw combat strength.
So this new piece of information that there was a Deity realm cultivator in the Dwarven Empire changes everything!
This means that the dwarves could at any point in time wage a war with the elves, destroying the current structure of the nine countries.
And this was precisely why Xavier was panicking.
Xander, however, looked calm and indifferent.
He didn’t seem to be worried about the same things Xavier was worried about.
“It’s fine.” He replied.
“There is no need to worry about anything. At least for now.”
“That old man gave me his word,” Xander mumbled under his breath.
He then finally returned back to his private quarters in the elven royal palace, thereby finishing his small vacation trip to the Dwarven Empire.
As for Tang Yue…
Swept up in the waves of enlightenment, she had completely forgotten about where she was or who she was and was focused only on honing her skills.
And when she stirred awake, she was immediately pulled into a strange place that she had never seen before.
Tang Yue was currently standing in front of a small hut.
It was made of straw like material and looked as if it was going to collapse at any second now.
This rudimentary hut was located on the banks of an enormous lake, surrounded by thick forests.
The moon was perfectly reflected on the still waters of the lake and the lake itself seemed as if it was never ending.
Golden colored fishes swam about in the shallow waters of the lake and they jumped up ever so often, flying in the air for a few seconds before landing back into the water.
Tang Yue dazedly looked around, her mind still half lingering on the matters of forging.
One second she was admiring the balance between the molecules of the metal and the elemental essences and the next second she was here.
So she had no idea what the hell was going on.
“Master?”
“Master?”
“You… old man?”
Tang Yue tried her best to interact with the system, but the old man didn’t respond.
Even the system interface couldn’t be opened. It was almost as if the old man had hidden himself and erased his presence.
This only made Tang Yue worry even more!
Just what the hell was happening?
As she turned around and looked here and there, trying to search for some clues, an old archaic voice boomed from within the hut.
“Come inside, child.”
A tremor ran through Tang Yue’s body and she felt tremendous pressure on her body, mind, soul, and cultivation base.
Someone was seeing through her entire figure, down to the very last hair on her body.
Tang Yue shivered. It was not a very pleasant feeling.
As she pondered about the source of the voice and whom it might belong to, she suddenly realized that she was no longer under any disguise.
Her pale blue skin shimmered in the moonlight and the loose robes on her slender seductive figure fluttered in the wind.
Damn it. Tang Yue cursed.
She hurriedly retrieved another disguise crystal from one of her spatial rings and crushed it with urgency.
However…
Nothing really happened and her long forked tongue still danced inside her mouth.
“Aha Ha Ha Ha. Little snake. Don’t fret so much. Just come inside.” The archaic voice boomed again.
Tang Yue froze in shock. “L… Little snake?”
This way of calling…!!! It couldn’t be right??? This was the old man calling her??? But wasn’t he dead???
A thought sprung into her mind and she quickly ran into the hut throwing all caution to the wind.
“Master?” Tang Yue eagerly called out and stepped in.
And voila!
Just as she had expected, a scrawny old man was seated in the middle of the hut.
He had an otherworldly profound aura about him and an unfathomable presence.
More importantly, he was a dwarf!
