”Stop, eighth brother, aren't you tired after talking so much? Today, we will meet again as brothers. Leaving aside these insignificant people, we will go to the Crown Prince's Palace to reminisce about old times. ”

Even though Dongfang Chen really wanted to know where that girl's house lived, he couldn't stand his own brother's blabbering sickness. Since he didn't have the time to care about it, he pulled him back to the Palace.

After the two of them left, Bai Zhixi pulled Lan Yi out of the umbrella seller's shop, and watched their retreating figures while frowning and thinking.

”Miss, why did you tell Crown Prince that just now?”

From Lan Yi's point of view, Crown Prince was a very good person and was worth entrusting his entire life to. If Miss was together with him, it would simply be a match made in heaven.

”Lan Yi, I don't want to have anything to do with the people of the imperial family. ”Even though they look glorious on the surface, they don't have the freedom to do what they want. They're restricted in every aspect and even have to face the gossip of the common people. Don't you feel tired?”

It was said that once one enters the palace gates that are as deep as the ocean, Dongfang Chen would definitely inherit the position of emperor in the future, and have connections with him. With her identity, even if she had feelings, it would be hard for her to enter the palace gates.

From the conversation between Dongfang Chen and her just now, she knew that although the Crown Prince in front of her was easy to get along with, the high and mighty temperament that flowed out from her bones was hard to approach. Furthermore, he had been the crown prince for eighteen years without any means or influence. He could not live his life in peace with the influence of the empress, so he had the hearts of the people. This was the most dangerous way for someone who didn't know what to say. She put herself in danger.

”Miss, the blacksmith shop is up ahead.”

After Bai Zhixi heard this, he raised his head and looked at the words ”Wu Ji Forging Shop”, there were only a few families around, it should be the outskirts of the market, he did not expect that there was hidden the world's number one blacksmith.

”Is there anyone here?”

Bai Zhixi pushed open the rusted iron gate, gave a sound, and then walked in. No one answered him. He looked around and immediately became alert.

”Lan Yi, follow my footsteps. Remember, don't go the wrong way.”

The dilapidated blacksmith shop seemed to be filled with traps and traps, but he didn't expect it to be the ”Twelve Ghosts Tower”. If he was even the slightest bit careless, he would definitely lose his life here.

In her previous life, she had picked up a book called 'Mechanical Arts', which she would use to relieve her boredom when she was free, but was attracted by the content inside. She remembered it, thinking that she would one day be able to use it as a bodyguard, but she didn't expect that if she died, she would be able to help her in another world. Therefore, she recognized him as soon as she entered. It was indeed a great effort to break the trap.

After bringing Lan Yi along, he reached out and pulled down the plum blossom hairpin on his head, and threw it towards the bright copper mirror on the ceiling. The copper mirror instantly exploded into eight small pieces, smashing into the eight corners of the courtyard, following which a loud noise came from the ground, causing the snow on the ground to fly everywhere, the vast expanse of whiteness blocked Bai Zhixi and the others' line of sight.

”This lady has quite the martial arts. I thought that the world would no longer be able to break this” Twelve Wraith Tower ”, yet you want me to see through it with a single glance. Truly outstanding, I admire you.”

”Pa Pa!” A sound of clapping hands could be heard, followed by the sound of a strong, elderly man's voice.

When the snow cleared, the surroundings became clear. This was actually the courtyard of a rich family. It was completely different from the dilapidated little courtyard she saw before she came here. If Lan Yi had not told her that it was a blacksmith's shop, she would have found it hard to believe everything that she had seen.

He stood in the middle of the yard and looked at the copper mirror hanging from the ceiling. It was as if nothing had happened.

”Hello, you …” ”Can you show yourself?”

Bai Zhixi carefully walked towards the slightly ajar door in front of him, searching for the owner of the voice.

Pushing open the door, she saw an old man with white hair sitting inside with his back facing her. He was playing with two steel balls on the table.

”This lady, her hand is quite good. Speak, what weapon do you want this old man to forge for you? ”

The old man did not turn around, but went straight to the point. This made Bai Zhixi a little startled, since famous people have tempers, could it be that this famous smith would be so easy to deal with?

”Old man, I didn't explain my purpose in coming here, how do you know I'm here to fight?”

Bai Zhixi looked at the old man's back and laughed, teasing him. The purpose of her visit today was not to fight weapons, but to borrow his things.

”Hehe! Little girl, this old man is a magnificent blacksmith shop. If you didn't come here to forge weapons, what else could you have done?”

Elder Tie turned around and stared at Bai Zhixi with his bright and spirited eyes without moving. The steel ball in his hand was pinched even louder, as if he was venting out his master's dissatisfaction.

”Old man, I'm not here for you to forge a weapon. I'm here to borrow your forging tools. How much do you need to name a price?”

The matriarchs all said that Wu Ji's Blacksmith Shop was a god-like existence. As long as you gave the blueprints and paid the silver, they would guarantee that you would be satisfied. But she had always done her own things and never borrowed them.
