Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 157: Chapter 153: Whatever You Lose, We Compensate! (Two in One)_3

White Shadow, although he perceived the targeting intent from the other party, was even more curious about what Zhang San was doing.

"There’s no need to wipe the token so much just because it fell on the ground, right?"

Zhang San chuckled and said, "I know the ground isn’t dirty."

The martial artist in charge of registration was so annoyed!

What does that mean?

Does touching the token with my hands make it dirty, huh?

Then, he saw Zhang San lift his hand and disdainfully throw the handkerchief with which he had wiped the token onto the ground.

The faint Fire Movement power on the handkerchief instantly burned it to ashes.

Zhang San and White Shadow rode their horses up the mountain.

White Shadow couldn’t help but say, "Why do you bother with a martial artist who’s just responsible for registration?"

Zhang San shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Soon you’ll know, whether it’s me having issues with him or them having issues with me."

White Shadow looked baffled, not understanding the meaning of Zhang San’s words.

It took the two a long while to finally reach the summit of Red Dragon Mountain.

At the summit, there were numerous forging platforms, each of which channeled the Earth Fire from within the mountain, enabling the forging of higher quality Mysterious Weapons.

This was the reason why many martial artists came here to rent forging platforms to forge Mysterious Weapons.

Some even stayed here long-term, making a living by helping others forge.

Of course, there were also not a few who engaged in alchemy here.

After all, the geographical advantage meant that both forging and alchemy had developed exceedingly well.

Upon arriving at the summit, Zhang San sought out the martial artist responsible for renting out the forging platforms, wanting to rent the best one available.

"Unfortunately, the better forging platforms have all been rented out recently. There are ordinary ones available, would that be alright?"

Zhang San hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded his head.

"Alright then."

"Great, follow me then, both of you."

Soon, the martial artist leading the way brought Zhang San to a dilapidated forging platform.

Leaving aside whether fire could still be channeled beneath the platform, the platform itself was missing several bricks, and Zhang San knew it was unsuitable for forging.

At this moment, many onlookers started whispering among themselves.

"Who is this guy? Did he offend someone?"

"You don’t know him? That’s Zhang San! The one who slandered Bai Yucheng!"

"So that’s it. No wonder..."

At that moment, White Shadow finally understood why the martial artist who registered them at the foot of the mountain had given Zhang San a hard time.

It turns out it was all because of the Bai Yucheng incident.

After all, many martial artists had indeed died at Xiongfeng Manor, and only then did everyone see Bai Yucheng’s true colors.

But for martial artists from other strongholds, Bai Yucheng was still the amiable and cultured Officer who treated people with ease.

Everything was a conspiracy by Zhang San and Third Miss Gan.

Especially now that Third Miss Gan had become the Acting Officer, this only fueled the conspiracy theories in many people’s minds.

They dared not trouble Third Miss Gan, but upon seeing Zhang San, naturally, they would use whatever means they had to make him feel uncomfortable.

Just as White Shadow was about to say something in defense of Zhang San, he was pulled back by him.

Clearly, Zhang San did not want White Shadow to speak.

"Brother, the thing I’m about to forge is somewhat precious, and I’m worried that using this forging platform may cause damage both to the platform and the surroundings. How about we switch to another one?"

Seeing Zhang San speak so politely, the leading martial artist crossed his arms and sneered, "All forging platforms are the same, what problems could there be here?"

And just then, from behind the crowd of onlookers, came a deep voice.

"You just forge here; if there are any problems or losses, I’ll compensate for everything!"

The crowd immediately made way, and they saw a burly man with a fiery red beard, shirtless, walking over.

"I’m Ouyang Zhen, the Military Chief from the Town Martial Office at Red Dragon Mountain, and when I say there’s no problem, there’s no problem!"

Zhang San smiled and countered, "But if this forging platform turns out to be of poor quality and causes unnecessary damage during the forging process, such as the platform being destroyed or affecting something nearby, who will take responsibility then?"

"I’ll take the responsibility! But if after you forge, the forging platform isn’t damaged, what then?"

Zhang San knew, although the forging platform here was damaged, it would actually only affect the quality of the item he was forging, making it more difficult for him to forge, but it was unlikely to destroy the platform itself.

He had just mentioned it as a way to bluff the guiding martial artist, but he hadn’t expected the Military Chief to step in and confront him directly.

"If after I forge, the forging platform remains undamaged, then it means I’m unskillful at forging, and I’ll kneel down and apologize to everyone at Red Dragon Mountain, how about that?"

"Deal!"

"Deal!"
