Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

If the person Gong Ren was looking for wasn't Lin Yuan, who was right in front of him, he would have been happy to introduce him after hearing Gong Ren's words.

But it was Lin Yuan who made it difficult for him to confront Gong Ren's question, given Lin Yuan's previous instruction to conceal his identity and the obvious discord between Gong Ren and Lin Yuan just now.

"Young Master Gongren, this... he is now..." Boss Qian's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

He could easily find several reasons to distance himself from the weapon refiner Gong Ren mentioned. However, none of these reasons could offset the consequences Gong Ren would face when he later learned the truth.

"Where are we now?" Gong Ren asked impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Boss Qian felt as if Gong Ren's words were swords piercing his body. He wanted to speak, but the fear in his heart made him speechless.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, he carefully shifted his gaze slightly to Lin Yuan, who was standing behind Gong Ren.

He knew that Lin Yuan was the only one who could "save" him from this predicament.

Lin Yuan's gaze met Boss Qian's at that moment, and he nodded to him without much hesitation.

He gestured to Boss Qian that it was alright to speak.

Upon seeing this, Boss Qian felt a sense of relief and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then slowly said, "Young master, the person who repaired your Yellow Heaven Sword that day is right here..."

After a pause, Boss Qian's gaze fell on Lin Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Gong Ren knew perfectly well who had repaired his sword.

He didn't give Boss Qian a chance to continue speaking, making a firm gesture to stop him, "Alright, you've been dawdling for so long, I'm not interested in seeing you now."

After saying that, he stormed out of the shop.

Gong De hurriedly followed behind him. Lin Yuan watched the two walking briskly, and could faintly hear their conversation—

"Gong Ren, so it turns out that Lin Yuan repaired your Yellow Heaven Sword."

"Shut up."

As Gong Ren's exasperated shout faded into the air, Boss Qian seemed to snap out of a daze, looking at Lin Yuan and Gong Yi with puzzled expressions. He had a lot to say, but seemed unsure where to begin, finally only uttering a confused "This..."

Knowing everything, Gong Yi could no longer hold back his laughter: "Hahaha..."

So it turns out that the person Gong Ren praised for so long and placed so much hope in was Lin Yuan?

Hearing Gong Yi's laughter, Boss Qian was even more confused.

Gong Ren's reaction was exactly what Lin Yuan had expected, so he stopped paying attention to Gong Ren and instead asked Boss Qian, "Boss Qian, what kind of magical artifact do you want me to repair?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Qian immediately put away his puzzled expression, bowed slightly, and made a "please" gesture, saying, "Please come in, both of you."

Having been in business for many years, he naturally knew not to ask questions he shouldn't.

The three entered the small room.

"Master Lin, Young Master Gong."

"Please look." Boss Qian opened the two boxes on the table one after the other.

Lin Yuan's gaze moved from left to right.

According to Mr. Qian, both of these magical artifacts are of low grade.

The artifact on the left is called the "Heart-Protecting Mirror," a defensive artifact. Simply place the artifact on your heart to automatically defend against attacks from others around your heart.

The one on the right is a dagger, unnamed.

Both magical artifacts were quite damaged, but for Lin Yuan, they were minor matters.

He then summoned his cheat device to check the time required for the repair.
