Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 419 The Current Situation

The furnace inside emitted a faint crackling sound. Xue Tong looked at Lin Su and spoke softly:

"You are an excellent weapon refiner."

Upon hearing this, Lin Su's face broke into a bright smile:

"I know!"

"I may not be as good as Senior Sister Xue, but I'm still one of the top weapon refiners in the lower realm, right?"

Xue Tong's face immediately fell, and her voice carried a hint of resentment:

"I'm really overcomforting you."

Lin Su couldn't help but chuckle. The young man, rummaging through the iron blocks bobbing inside the furnace, couldn't help but ask:

"Miss Xiaotong, I've always wanted to know... are you and Senior Sister Xue really sisters?"

Xue Tong glanced at him: "Of course not, didn't I say? I am a little monster in the void."

Lin Su sighed: "I'm not some naive little demon among the demon race, do you think I believe that?"

Xue Tong narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Lin Su: "Why do you want to ask this?"

Lin Su's expression changed, and after a long while, he finally spoke haltingly:

"Don't be angry if I tell you."

Xue Tong promised him, "I'm not angry."

Lin Su smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I'm just curious why Senior Sister Xue was able to hide you in her sleeve?"

Xue Tong couldn't take it anymore: "Is everyone in your War Puppet Mansion curious about this?"

Lin Su nodded very honestly: "More or less."

"Logically speaking, living beings cannot be placed inside spatial magical artifacts. Since you say you are a little monster, you should be alive, right?" Lin Su looked at Xue Tong, eager for an answer.

Xue Tong touched her forehead:

Well, there aren't many normal people left among the six sects and twelve factions.

What are they all thinking about every day?

Looking at Lin Su's expectant eyes, the girl slowly spoke: "Don't meddle in the little monster's affairs. Let me tell you about the Great Yu Dynasty first."

Xue Tong's change of topic was indeed too abrupt, but Lin Su did not press further and listened quietly to Xue Tong's story.

He had been in the Great Yu Dynasty for almost half a year and hadn't really taken the time to understand the situation there. His two older brothers were fighting so fiercely that even the slightest movement from Lin Su was enough to make them eager to pounce on him.

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

That's really terrifying.

When Xue Tong went back last time, she unbound part of the system. Now, only Xue Lan's host detection and a few memos remain.

Coincidentally, it contains a section of the history of the Great Yu Dynasty.

The girl flipped through the folders in her mind's eye, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"The book I have says that after the old emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty fell critically ill, his four sons fought amongst themselves. In the end, the eldest and second princes joined forces to kill the third prince, and then the two of them died together. The one who finally ascended the throne was the fourth prince, who had been raised outside the capital."

"The fourth prince ascended the throne, but he was ignorant, incompetent, and licentious. The Great Yu Dynasty was destroyed."

Lin Su's expression stiffened: "So, the two of them were so eager to give me gifts, it was to prepare my coffin!"

The sarcasm in the young man's tone was so obvious that it hardly sounded like Lin Su.

Xue Tong couldn't help but speak up: "With four princes vying for the throne, do you really expect to have a good ending?"

Lin Su nodded: "That makes sense."

Xue Tong continued flipping through his documents: "It also says that before the old emperor fell seriously ill, he dismissed half of the old ministers in the court and sent them home."

After reading this, Xue Tong's furrowed brows relaxed: "A new emperor brings a new court. It seems this old emperor knew all along that his two sons were restless. He sent all these old officials back to their hometowns ahead of time."

A journey through wind and snow is always better than being killed by two covetous crown princes, forced to retire and never return home.

The decades-long bond between ruler and subject ended in this way, which is actually not so bad.

Xue Tong hadn't even finished reading the document when she heard Xue Lan's voice.

"Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong".

Xue Tong always felt that Xue Lan's way of calling her was somewhat cyborg-like, as if she were calling for some kind of intelligent robot.

The girl said casually, "Please assign me a task, sir."

Xue Lan sat in the main workshop of Wan Gong Fang, with her own memorial tablet on her left. Xue Lan's voice was gentle and calm, like the moonlight on Jin Yue Lake.

"First of all, let me tell you that I have learned from Lü Su who was the one who tripped me up back then. But he is too powerful. I will have to deal with him after I get the Emberlight Sword."

Xue Tong couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the Ember Sword side difficult to deal with?"

Xue Lan gave a wry smile, her voice somewhat hoarse, as if recalling some troublesome matter:

"He is difficult to deal with, but that person is the Grand Elder of the Lin family in the Upper Realm,"

If we want to kill him without fail, we need the help of at least three level 15 demons.

Xue Lan is one, He Zhui is another...

As for the remaining one...

Xue Lan was in a rare predicament.

I thought we could deal with whatever came our way, but I never expected that we wouldn't even have enough people together.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let me tell you about what happened inside the Heavenly Forging Hammer Secret Realm."

Xue Lan twitched her fingertips slightly, and an ancient book appeared in the woman's hand. Its pages moved on their own without any wind, and she began to read it.

Xue Tong heard Xue Lan's voice clearly:

"Xiao Tong, the first step! Bring back all the old ministers that the old emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty sent away."

Xue Tong couldn't help but open her mouth wide: "Huh?"

Xue Lan nodded slightly: "No, this is how it should be."

"You also know the fate of the Great Yu Dynasty. The spirit of the Heavenly Forging Hammer prefers pure people."

Xue Lan's voice was clear and hoarse: "Tell Lin Su that after bringing those old ministers back, he should do things according to his own ideas."

"Be fearless and don't overthink."

Fearless, Xue Tong smiled gently: "Indeed pure."

Lin Su, who was intently observing the changes inside the smelting furnace, looked at Xue Tong, who had suddenly spoken, and asked with some confusion:

"what happened?"

Xue Tong then repeated Xue Lan's words to Lin Su in their entirety.

After listening, the young man spoke:

"Is this a proper weapon-forging trial?"

Xue Tong shook her head: "I don't know, just remember to do things according to your own heart."

The girl smiled radiantly, her eyes sparkling brightly:

"I'll help you with things that seem impossible!"
