Chapter 668: I Want a Master!
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
In the circle of refiners, the Xie family of West Rock was a major family with a history of hundreds of years . Naturally, it had its own booth in the Edge Sharpeners' Meeting, where quite a few new flying swords and shields were exhibited .
After only three days since the Edge Sharpener's Meeting began, a lot of sects had come to negotiate or consult . One of them even placed a large order of a thousand super flying swords . It was indeed a great sign for the business .
Xie Qianhe was 59 years old and one of the top experts in refining in the Xie family . However, he did not work in the family business; he served as the deputy director of the technical department of the Silver Heart School, one of the three crystal suit centers .
Right now, Xie Qianhe's face was gloomy, and he was in the worst mood .
Pa!
In the hotel where the Xie family was staying, he slapped a table and glared at his daughter, frowning hard . "What? You want Sand Scorpion to be your master?"
"Yes!"
Xie Anan raised her head high and stared back at her father, whom she had always revered . She summoned her courage and said, "Father, I want to be Sand Scorpion's true disciple and study the arts of refining from him!"
Looking at his daughter in disbelief, Xie Qianhe blurted out, "Anan, 'master' and 'teacher' are very different . In modern society, a Cultivator can have thousands of teachers . You pay tuition fees, and they teach . Fair deal with no arrears . The relationship is done as soon as the course is over .
"But 'master' is a whole different conception!
"If Sand Scorpion really becomes your master and you his true disciple, you will have to inherit his ideology and methodology completely . Your refining skills will be seriously affected by him, and it will be quite troublesome if you want to look for a different master in the future . "
"I know . "
Xie Anan nodded solemnly as she said, "I know it is not a joke to be a true disciple . That's why I want to ask you to propose the request for me . It will be the best if grandpa can talk to Master Sand as the leader of the Xie family, if that's possible . "
Xie Qianhe found it amusing . "Anan, what's wrong with you? I don't have any bias against the Iron Plateau natives, and I can't thank Sand Scorpion enough for saving your life . But isn't he the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau? Does he know anything about refining?"
"Master Sand is quite adept at refining!" Xie Anan's eyes were shining when she talked about Li Yao's skills in refining . She raised her head and said, "Master Xue Yuanxin of the Ares Laboratory holds Master Sand in very high regard . Besides, Master Sand has produced the Combat Ability Detector and the Aurora Chain Gun . My own progress over the recent half year is based on his enlightenment, too!"
Xie Qianhe coughed and looked at his wife next to him .
Dong Hanxiang, Xie Anan's mother, was from a noble family of refining . She hugged her daughter and said with a smile, "Anan, Master Sand Scorpion is your life-saver . It's natural that you pay attention to him more and admire or even worship him .
"As the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, he definitely has things that are worth respecting .
"However, when it comes to the arts of refining…
"You are too young to know the clandestine rules in the circle of refiners .
"Yes, rumor has it that Master Sand is actually an expert in refining, and Master Xue Yuanxin spoke very highly of him . Besides, he is the patent owner of the Combat Ability Detector and part of the Aurora Chain Gun .
"Hehe . Such news can only fool outsiders . Most people in our circle are rather suspicious about it .
"It has happened before that some rich guys who didn't know the first thing about refining spent a fortune on acquiring other people's patents and claiming them as their own achievements .
"You also know that your master Sand Scorpion's Glorious Sunlight Group has a large refining center under its name . Then, who can tell whether the patents in his hand were developed by himself or by the employees of the refining center?
"As for the remark of Master Xue Yuanxin, it's even simpler . Praising each other when a project succeeds is quite normal . Master Xue's Ares Laboratory and the Glorious Sunlight Group have been cooperating neatly . It was only natural that Master Xue complimented him on the occasion . You wouldn't expect Master Xue to accusing him of being a pretentious rookie, would you?"
Unconvinced, Xie Anan craned her neck and said, "But—"
Dong Hanxiang pressed her shoulder and continued . "Yes, we've all seen your rapid progress in person . But according to you, Master Sand Scorpion only taught you some of the most rudimental training methods . There is nothing extraordinary about them .
"On the contrary, your father and I think that his training methods are too cruel and violent . Only a dummy like you could've persisted for so long . We didn't know it in the beginning, or we definitely would've told you to drop it .
"Such cruel training will naturally increase your capability right now, but it will do your future growth no good in the long term . "
Seeing her daughter's awful face, Dong Hanxiang hurried to add, "I'm not saying that Master Sand doesn't know anything about refining . I do believe that he has many secret arts that can be traced back to Iron Plateau . Some of them may be new to you, and that's why you were hooked .
