Chapter 108 Cold and Beautiful Girl

At this moment, inside the Nanluoduo Military Workshop, in a room on the west side of the third floor.

A middle-aged woman gazed at the familiar furnishings in the room, sighing softly with a hint of reluctance.

She wore a plain-colored parishioner's robe, which looked elegant and well-fitting on a middle-aged woman. The corners of her eyes already bore the marks of time, with a few more lines added to them, but this did not diminish her beauty. Instead, it gave her a mature beauty that came with the passage of time. What was most peculiar was her eyes, just like her name, Nansini, which had a poetic sense of sorrow. Her eyelashes were very long, and every blink of her eyes always gave people a deep sense of melancholy.

Especially at this moment, the middle-aged beauty clearly had a lot on her mind, and she sighed softly, giving off a feeling reminiscent of Lin Daiyu.

Nanshini was indeed very reluctant at this moment. She had to give up the place where she had lived for decades. The only good news that her master left her was that the person who was about to inherit her master's property was her junior sister.

This also means that, to another extent, the master's business did not fall into the hands of outsiders.

"It's just... a little reluctant to part with it." Nan Shini's gaze swept over every item in the room, wanting to remember them all. She knew she would rarely see them again.

A moment later, the door to the room opened, and a girl dressed in a light blue dress walked in. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a cold and beautiful face. She gave off a very cold aura. She was An Jiali, the third disciple of Nan Shini. Unlike her master, whose eyes and features were full of sorrow, her temperament was much colder and sharper.

The two stood side by side. Nan Shini was the master and was older, but for some reason, this young girl gave people the feeling that she could handle things.

"Master, I've taken stock of all the properties you asked me to clear out. I've already had those that can be taken packed up, and I've also booked the carriage to Jiuzhen for tomorrow. And—" The aloof young woman hesitated, seemingly worried that what she was about to say would hurt her master's feelings, but she gritted her teeth and continued, "And... I just asked around, and those willing to go back to Jiuzhen with us are Second Senior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, and Fifth Junior Brother. Sixth Junior Sister has decided to stay here." At this point, the aloof young woman's face hardened with resentment. "These people are truly ungrateful! They've forgotten who trained them! Not only do they not follow you, Master, but they shamelessly stay here at the Brahma Weapon Tower, serving you!"

"Especially Sixth Junior Sister, she's an orphan. You raised her from a young age and are closest to her, but she—" At this point, the cold and beautiful girl paused because she saw that Nan Shini's face had become much paler.

"Well, you can't say that. Everyone has their own ambitions, and it's good for them to stay." Nan Shini forced a smile, her face a little pale, clearly not as open-minded as she claimed.

Nanshini was most proud of having six disciples in his lifetime, all of whom he trained to become Brahma warriors.

She understood these people's choices. If they followed her to Jiuzhen, a small place, they wouldn't have enough materials for refining weapons and might never be able to advance in their careers. Staying in Laboduo was undoubtedly better for their personal future.

But these people were the ones she had poured her heart and soul into raising, especially her sixth apprentice, whom she usually regarded as her daughter. It was still somewhat painful for her to see him stay here.

But after thinking it over, she realized that three of her apprentices were willing to go to Jiuzhen with her.

Especially her third apprentice, Anjali, who was her most prized disciple.

At a young age, he had already reached the late stage of the Brahma Pi realm, and his cultivation level as a Brahma Soldier Master had even reached the late stage of the first level.

It's safe to say that she'll definitely break through to the second level of a Brahma Weapon Master in this lifetime, and her talent for weapon crafting even surpasses that of her back then.

She was already very gratified that the person she regarded as her successor was willing to follow her.

For some reason, she still felt a little guilty.

This very talented weapon-refining disciple followed her to the Nine Towns, and she was afraid that it would hinder her talent.

But she didn't say anything like "Anjali, you stay here," because she knew her disciple's personality; Anjali was the most headstrong.

If she were to say something about considering your talent and deciding where you should stay, that would be worse than killing her.

Finally, Nanshini could only sigh softly and look at Anjali: "Following me has wasted your talent."

"There's no such thing as delaying things." Anjali smiled faintly and shook her head. "Going to Jiuzhen is nothing. I believe that as long as you have the heart to refine weapons, you can improve your level anywhere. One day, I will also advance to the third level of Brahma Weapon Master, defeat that woman, and help you take back these properties of Labado."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shini remained silent, understanding her disciple's good intentions.

Going to a small place like Jiuzhen, let alone becoming a third-level Brahma Soldier Master, even becoming a second-level Brahma Soldier Master would probably be dozens of times more difficult than in Labado.

The level of a Brahma Weapon Master depends on two things: proficiency and access to as many Brahma artifacts and crafting techniques as possible left behind by higher-level Brahma Weapon Masters.

In large cities like Labrador, many people excavate temple ruins every day, obtaining sacred artifacts left behind by ancient Brahma warriors, which are then auctioned off by specialized auction houses.

Nan Shini usually pays close attention to these things, buying them from auction houses for her disciples to learn from, or purchasing materials for refining weapons.

In a small, rural place like Jiuzhen, it's difficult to come into contact with these things.

While Nanshinni and her disciple Anjali were talking in their room, a fierce argument was taking place in a room on the far east side of the second floor of the Brahma Palace.

Two men were arguing heatedly here, their faces red and necks bulging.

The two men are Anjali's eldest and fourth junior brothers, respectively.

"Senior Brother, I usually admire you as a person, and I think you have the most virtuous character. I never expected that when something really happened, you would be the first to choose to stay. I find that despicable." It was a young man who was about twenty years old who said this. This was An Jiali's fourth junior brother. The senior brother he was talking about was a man who was about thirty years old and had a somewhat honest and simple face.

"What do you know? I'm just one step away from raising my Brahma Weapon Master level to the late stage of level one. If I go to the Nine Towns now, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break through in my entire life." The senior brother looked a little guilty, but still said firmly.

"Senior Brother, you're really confused. That person hates our Master so much, do you think she would train you? Who else in the world would go to such lengths to buy refining materials and train you like Master did?" Fourth Junior Brother sneered twice. "That woman only allowed you to stay to hurt Master. But given her hatred for Master, I'm certain you won't receive any training from her. Take you, Senior Brother, for example. Back then, when you broke through to the first level of a Brahma Weapon Master, it was only because Master bought you a mid-grade Brahma weapon refining recipe left behind by a second-level Brahma Weapon Master that you were able to see before you broke through."

"Senior Brother, do you think that woman would be so kind as to spend a lot of money to buy you these things so you can break through to the next level?"

"Don't talk nonsense! My martial uncle promised to mentor me!"

"Uncle-Master? That sounds rather affectionate!"

The two argued for a while longer before parting on bad terms.

The next day, Nanshini, along with Anjali and two other disciples, a total of four Brahma warriors, traveled by carriage to Jiuzhen, which would take about seven or eight days.
