Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 786: Attack The Demons

"Are you thinking about Zhang Fei, Xian'er?" Duan Zhao approached his female disciple, who was daydreaming on a large rock.

Xian Xian turned to him and nodded. "That kid always appears and disappears like a ghost, and I've been waiting for him to come back since morning, but he still hasn't shown up."

"Haha." Duan Zhao laughed at that. "The kiss you two had previously made an impression on your heart."

"Master! Don't tease me." Xian Xian complained with a pout. "I'm old, but I've never had a lover, and I've dedicated my entire life to blacksmithing. He was the first man to kiss me, so it's hard for me to forget that."

Duan Zhao gently patted her head, like a father to his daughter. "You know that Zhang Fei has dozens of women by his side, and he loves them dearly, so you should already understand the risks if you two end up becoming a couple. Thus, you must prepare yourself to accept the situation, or he will let you go."

"I know, Master." Xian Xian pulled her legs up, hugged them, and placed her chin between her knees. "Even though I have never had a lover, I am not an innocent woman either. The number of Zhang Fei's women is indeed numerous, but I don't think too much about that. However, I haven't thought about becoming his woman because I don't know him well yet, so our relationship is still too bland, and I still need time to solidify my feelings."

Duan Zhao nodded in response. "Zhang Fei is no ordinary cultivator, and he masters almost all fields, starting from blacksmithing, alchemy, and others. If he refrains from making hasty decisions, particularly when confronted with formidable adversaries, his future holds great promise. If his progress continues to increase as fast as it is now, he will become truly powerful in the future. Perhaps he will be able to stand at the top of the cultivation world one day, so he is the right man to be your husband."

"Master, you know that I didn't think that far, right?" Xian Xian looked up at the night sky. "Even if we become a couple in the future, Zhang Fei's success is not my success. The biggest dream in my life is to become the best blacksmith in the universe, and I've worked really hard for that. One day, I will prove to everyone that not only a man can succeed in that field, but a woman can also succeed in reaching the highest point in that field."

Duan Zhao smiled as he recalled this. "The first time you came to my workshop, I also had my doubts about you. You were only 19 years old at that time, and your body was too thin and fragile, so I didn't believe that you could become a blacksmith. However, I could see high determination in the look in your eyes, so I decided to accept you as my disciple. I made the right choice, and your hard work made you the best of the four."

"Haha." Xian Xian laughed with pride on her face. "Master, I might be the best among them now, but I can't stop working hard because Zhang Fei is chasing after us. If I relax now, he will definitely surpass me, and I don't want to lose to a newbie blacksmith like him. Therefore, I can't wait to go to the upper realms, and I will strive harder to improve my blacksmithing skills until I can achieve my dream of becoming the best blacksmith."

Duan Zhao nodded with a smile. "As long as you never lose your passion for improving yourself, I believe you will become the best blacksmith in the future. Go back to your room now and start cultivating, especially since you will accompany Zhang Fei to challenge the Star Tower in a few months."

"Don't you have any interest in challenging the tower again, Master?"

"Not for now." Duan Zhao replied with a shake of his head. "Like you, I have always harbored a dream of becoming the best blacksmith, and I have wasted too much of my time in this realm. As your master, I certainly do not wish to lose to you, and I will fully focus on my blacksmithing after we go to the upper realms."

Hearing that, Xian Xian jumped down from the rock and faced her master. "Master, you are far more skilled than me in blacksmithing now, but I will definitely defeat you in the future, and I will be the one to become the best blacksmith."

"Haha." Duan Zhao burst into laughter before pinching her nose. "All right, I will look forward to the day you surpass and defeat me in blacksmithing, and I will watch you chase your dream of becoming the best blacksmith after that."

Xian Xian nodded and ran away. "Good night, Master."
