I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"The Heavenly Crafts Bureau?"

Qin Zhenshan, who was originally discussing the matter with great interest, suddenly froze on his face with a smile.

Chi Xiao turned his head directly to look out the window, pretending to admire the scenery.

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

This reaction is wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Tian's gaze swept over the two seasoned veterans.

"What kind of den of dragons and tigers is this Tiangong Company?"

"Ahem!"

Qin Zhenshan coughed twice to cover up his lapse in composure.

"Um... Xiao Tian."

Qin Zhenshan's expression became somewhat subtle, as if he were recalling some unbearable past events.

"It's not quite a den of dragons or tigers, after all, it's a legitimate institution of our Tianyun Prefecture."

"But..."

Qin Zhenshan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

His eyes darted around, looking at the ceiling one moment and the floor the next, but he dared not meet Shen Tian's gaze.

"But what?"

Shen Tian pressed for an answer.

Qin Zhenshan patted Shen Tian on the shoulder with a serious expression.

"Xiao Tian, ​​it's like this."

"I suddenly remembered that I still have a few old comrades-in-arms in Tianyun City who are my life partners."

"I've come all this way, it would seem heartless of me not to go and see them."

Qin Zhenshan spoke very quickly, as if afraid that Shen Tian would interrupt him.

"So I won't be accompanying you to the Heavenly Crafts Bureau this time."

"As for the materials and processing fees needed to refine weapons, even if they're exorbitant, come back and I'll reimburse you!"

"Report all! No limit!"

Done.

Qin Zhenshan didn't give Shen Tian a chance to speak at all, and turned to walk out the door.

His steps were brisk; he didn't look like a middle-aged man at all, he was faster than a rabbit.

"Oh dear, Old Zhang must be getting impatient, I'm off!"

boom.

The door closed.

The whole process was smooth and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.

Only Shen Tian, ​​Chi Xiao, and Zhou Xuan were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Tian touched his chin.

Old Qin ran faster than if he'd seen a ghost.

Something's fishy.

There's definitely something fishy going on.

Shen Tian turned his head and looked at Chi Xiao, who was about to put the cigarette back into the cigarette box.

"Senior Chixiao?"

Shen Tian revealed an innocent smile.

"I see your greatsword needs an upgrade."

Chi Xiao's hand trembled.

The cigarette was snapped in two.

This is a tough guy who is usually fearless and dares to go head-to-head with a fifth-tier beast king.

At this moment, the expression on his face was even more unsightly than crying.

"Don't!"

Chi Xiao waved his hand repeatedly.

"No need! Really, no need!"

"I've had this sword for so many years, I've grown attached to it."

"Upgraded, but it's not as smooth anymore; it doesn't feel the same."

Shen Tian looked at him with a suspicious expression.

Who would complain that their weapon is too good?

"and……"

Chi Xiao's eyes darted around, and his gaze suddenly fell on Zhou Xuan, who was standing next to him with a completely bewildered expression.

It's like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

"Besides, there's nothing I can do to help with this."

"Those masters from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau... cough cough, those masters all have rather unique temperaments."

"I'd lose face if I went, and I might even get kicked out."

As Chi Xiao spoke, he frantically gave Zhou Xuan meaningful glances.

"But Inspector Zhou is different!"

Chi Xiao's voice suddenly rose, filled with flattery.

"Who is Inspector Zhou?"

"That's the face of Tianyun Prefecture! He's a favorite of the Prefecture Lord!"

"In the entire Tianyun City, who dares to disrespect Inspector Zhou?"

"These high-level meetings involving dealing with tech gurus can only be handled by Inspector Zhou!"

Done.

Chi Xiao completely ignored Zhou Xuan's face, which turned green in an instant.

He stood up immediately, even more decisively than Qin Zhenshan.

"Just now I remembered something, my foot massage card... I left it in General Qin's car."

"Since we've come all this way to Tianyun City, we absolutely have to go up to the second floor at least once."

"I'm going after him!"

whoosh-

A gust of wind swept by.

Chi Xiao's figure disappeared through the doorway.

Only a faint smell of tobacco remained in the air.

Shen Tian: ……

Are these two going to the Imperial Workshop or to the execution ground?

Is it really necessary to be this scared?

Shen Tian turned his head and looked at the only survivor left in the room.

Zhou Xuan's face stiffened.

If Qin Zhenshan and Chi Xiao were simply afraid...

At that moment, Zhou Xuan was utterly devastated.

Tiangongsi?

That's absolutely no place for a human to live!

Those were the most arrogant, short-tempered, and difficult-to-please group of big shots in the entire Tianyun Prefecture!

Especially those masters from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

Each of them has eyes on the top of their head.

What powerful figures, what generals, what inspectors?

In other people's eyes, they were all "vulgar brutes".

last month.

There was a lord's nephew who, relying on his status, tried to cut in line at the Heavenly Crafts Bureau to repair an S-grade armor.

They couldn't even get through the door.

He was kicked out by an old man.

That was a real explosion.

The car and its occupants were smashed directly into the ground.

Why?

Because that old man is the director of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau of Tianyun City, one of the top masters in the entire Dragon Kingdom!

He is a true national treasure!

People don't care about your official rank; they only care about whether your credentials are strong enough, or whether they like you.

Even the lord of the manor who wants to have weapons made by him has to make an appointment three months in advance, and it also depends on whether he is in a good mood.

As for Zhou Xuan?

An inspector?

In a place like the Celestial Crafts Bureau, face might not be as valuable as a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite.

Last time he went to ask someone to repair his equipment.

He stood guard at their door for three hours straight.

In the end, it was only out of pity that the apprentice reluctantly helped him fix it.

If Shen Tian finds out about this...

Wouldn't the lofty image of "omnipotence" and "all-powerful" that he painstakingly built up in front of Shen Tian collapse instantly?

How will we be able to curry favor with others then?

How can we get this future unparalleled powerhouse to call us "Brother Zhou"?

to be frank.

Zhou Xuan was willing to spend a fortune to book all three rooms in the Cloud Palace.

I also don't want to go to that damned Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

Zhou Xuan was filled with bitterness.

It felt like swallowing a pound of bitter herbs.

Those two, Chi Xiao and Qin Zhenshan, are truly despicable!

Not only did he run away, but he also dug such a big hole to bury him before he left!

"Brother Zhou?"

Shen Tian's voice rang out softly.

This interrupted Zhou Xuan's inner roar.

Shen Tian looked at him with a half-smile.

"Judging from this, it seems quite difficult to get into the Heavenly Crafts Bureau?"

"If it's really difficult..."

"No problem!"

Zhou Xuan suddenly raised his head.

The muscles in his face twitched twice, forcing out a smile that looked even uglier than a grimace.

They've gone to such lengths to show off.

Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, he has to crawl on his knees to finish the journey!

If we back down now, how will we ever be able to hold our heads high in front of Shen Tian again?

"It's hard to get in, that's what I say to others."

Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, straightened his back, and tried to make himself look more confident.

"That's no big deal for us brothers!"

"I've been around Tianyun City for so many years, I still have some influence."

"We'll see."

Zhou Xuan glanced at the [Heavenly Sin] in Shen Tian's arms.

"Brother Shen, you are a hero of our Jiangcheng, a young genius."

"Although the people in the Heavenly Crafts Bureau have bad tempers, they are also people who appreciate talent."

"Just show them what you're capable of, and I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms!"

That's a good point.

Even Zhou Xuan himself didn't believe it.

If those tech geeks at Tiangongdi could understand human relationships, pigs would fly.

But now we're in a bind, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"That's perfect."

Shen Tian stood up.

He figured it out.

This is the Tiangong Division of Yuncheng.

It's not like the Tiangong Division, which has no presence in Jiangcheng.

He was quite curious about the refinement of martial arts skills.

This further piqued Shen Tian's interest.

"Let's go, Brother Zhou."

Shen Tian picked up the black and gold longsword and walked towards the door first.

"Take me to see the legendary Heavenly Crafts Bureau."

Looking at Shen Tian's back.

Zhou Xuan felt a wave of dizziness.

He prayed frantically in his heart.

Hopefully, those old men from the Tiangong Division will be in a better mood today.

Even just not kicking people out would be a huge relief.

"Hey! Here it comes!"

Zhou Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly followed.

It was just that silhouette.

No matter how you look at it, it exudes a tragic grandeur reminiscent of the line "The wind howls and the Yi River is cold."
