Chapter 290: Do you know this woman? Part4
The drunkard swirled the alcohol in the bottle and chugged some more, before choking on the same and spraying the contents of his mouth on the Grandmaster blacksmith.
As drops of the pungent smelling liquor dripped from his face, drenching a part of his robe, the elder was livid with anger.
“Senior brother!!!” He shouted, unleashing the power of his cultivation base.
Tang Yue’s body trembled as an overwhelming killing intent surged from the dwarf standing next to her.
The drunkard, however, looked as if he couldn’t care less.
This man! Tang Yue sighed. Was he going to get killed tonight?
She couldn’t discern either of these dwarves’ cultivation base, so they were clearly at a higher level than her.
She silently took a step back, not wanting to get caught between these two monsters.
But the next instant, unexpectedly, the elder calmed down and the killing intent that was swirling as thick as a miasma disappeared into nothingness.
“Masters orders. Teach this child spirit smithing. I have nothing else to say to you.”
The elder clearly controlled himself and mumbled, without bashing the nonchalant drunkard in front of him.
And then to Tang Yue’s dismay, he prepared to leave.
No. No. Mister. Your highness. Kind lord. Please wait.
Tang Yue dumbfoundedly looked at the elder who was about to leave, words not coming out of her mouth.
Just what sort of a dog shit luck was this??!!
She could finally learn spirit smithing but this drunkard was her teacher?
He was surely not going to teach her anything!
Do these cultivators get more senile and foolish with age? Every single old man in her life was horrible and rotten!
The elder could feel Tang Yue’s gaze on him, but he simply sighed and walked away.
If there was anything that he could have said to make the situation better, he would have already.
Even he was helpless when it came to this senior brother of his.
But just as he was about to disappear from the street and get away from the damned drunkard, he remembered something crucial and lazily mouthed a few words.
“By the way, she is a snake.”
The elder was then gone, probably returned back to his abode.
His words, however, clearly echoed in the small run down smithy.
Tang Yue felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.
That damned old dwarf did not keep her secret! Everyone knew her disguise now!
What was even the point of her using this disguise crystal any longer?
Earlier, she had thought that perhaps the elder was unhappy because such a useless person was now his junior sister.
But it turns out that he knew her secret all along.
No wonder, he was behaving so unfriendly to her.
Tsk. Tsk. Is this why he pawned me off to this drunkard? Tang Yue inwardly cursed her bad luck.
If that damned old man had simply kept his mouth shut about her identity, then none of this would have happened.
But then again, she knew that she was asking for too much.
It was already kind enough of him to have not killed her on the spot for disguising and spying in the dwarven empire.
While Tang Yue pondered her future plans of action, a loud thud sounded near her.
Huh? She turned around and looked at the drunkard standing next to her.
This guy was still here? She was slightly surprised.
She had expected the man and his huge pot belly to have already gone back to the stinking cot.
But weirdly, he was still standing here.
“This. This. What did he say? What did he say just now?” The drunkard looked at Tang Yue with a flabbergasted expression and repeatedly muttered the same words like a maniac.
Tang Yue sighed helplessly. This guy was not even sober enough to comprehend words now?
For a split second, she even considered lying to him, but decided not to do so in the end.
After all, that elder could pay this drunkard another visit any time in the future and then it wouldn’t look too good for her.
It was just better to tell him the truth and get done with this.
“I am a snake.” She looked at him and shrugged casually.
The drunkard blinked incredulously and again asked her, this time, his voice visibly trembling and quaking.
“You are a serpentine spirit beast?”
Tang Yue nodded her head, and she explained some more things as an after thought so that the man wouldn’t hastily attack her.
“I came here to learn about spirit smithing. I have no ill intentions towards you or any other dwarves.”
But the drunkard standing in front of her barely listened to her. He kept repeatedly mumbling those few words.
“You are a serpentine spirit beast?”
“You are a serpentine spirit beast?”
“You are a serpentine spirit beast?”
He looked like he was in a trance and his eyes were glistening.
Tears streamed out of his eyes and the grown man started bawling his eyes out like a small child.
Tang Yue had no idea what she was supposed to do now.
She just stood there awkwardly and waited for the dwarf to calm down.
But the man didn’t stop crying for a long time.
He knelt on the floor and wailed out aloud without restraint, banging his fists against the floor, each fist making a dent on the hard stone.
The dwarf almost looked as if he was on the brink of madness.
Just by looking at him, Tang Yue could tell how much pain and desperation the dwarf was in.
The dwarf might be a stranger to her, but as another living being, she couldn’t help but feel moved and wondered if she could do anything to ease his pain.
But for now, she just stood there and patiently waited for him.
It took a couple more hours and the dwarf finally calmed down.
He looked as if he had realized something important and quickly scrambled to look up at Tang Yue again.
He fished out a thin piece of metal from within his robe and showed it to Tang Yue. “Do you recognize her?”
