Yao Yao took a sip of coffee. "Don't forget, I'm your relative, my surname is also Jin."
"Could it be... you are also a descendant of that Khan's elder cousin?" Old Master Jin asked respectfully.
Yao Yao shook her head and directly named the weapon forging master. "I am not a descendant of Aixinjueluo Huerhaqi, I am a descendant of Khan Nurhaci."
Old Master Jin was even more surprised. "You actually know my ancestor's name? It's not recorded in historical texts..."
"Know more than that..." Yao Yao pouted, but stopped short of saying more. By seniority, Yao Yao should call Huerhaqi 'Uncle.' Yao Yao might have even urinated on his neck in her infancy.
"Let's get back to the point," Yao Yao put away her pampered princess demeanor. "Back then, Huerhaqi forged weapons for the White Armor soldiers. If I remember correctly, he used volcanic iron ore from the Changbai Pass to refine the iron, didn't he?"
"Exactly!" Old Master Jin was completely in awe of Yao Yao. It wasn't just admiration; he felt a sense of profound familiarity, like seeing an old friend after a long separation.
"That's a unique forging technique. Has the technique survived to your generation?" Yao Yao asked again.
"Yes!" Old Master Jin replied concisely. "And, there is still a considerable stock of Changbai Mountain iron ore within our sect!"
"Do you know what needs to be done?" Yao Yao leaned back, slumping into the chair. Although she was in a low position, she projected an air of superiority. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"I know! I'll go back and make arrangements immediately!" Old Master Jin no longer dared to call himself 'this old man' and spoke with 'I' to show respect. Perhaps he realized that, in terms of seniority, this 'Jin Shan' was definitely older than him, otherwise, she wouldn't be so imperious. But he could never have imagined she was that much older; an order from an aunt... grandmother... great-grandmother to her great-great-grandchild. He supposed this was pure bloodline suppression.
"Let's add each other on WeChat," Yao Yao tossed her phone to Jin Xiaomei. "If anyone inquires about us, stall them first, and then find an opportunity to tell me."
"Okay!"
This was a negotiation. As for the payment for forging the weapons, Yao Yao didn't mention it, and Mr. Jin didn't ask. I guessed that even if they weren't meteorite weapons but some kind of Changbai Mountain iron, they would still be quite valuable. With so many weapons, the cost would likely be in the millions.
Never mind. The manufacturer isn't in a hurry, so why should we be?
After another half night of commotion, and seeing off the Jin family elders, I found Zhao Nana, ordered some late-night snacks to replenish my energy, and told her: "Your car was damaged in the collision at Benxi. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."
Zhao Nana said it wasn't necessary. Her Corolla was a used car, bought for just over 30,000 yuan, and was now only worth around 20,000. If it was broken, it was broken. There was no point in repairing it; she could just buy a new one.
"Do you know where to buy cars in Shengjing?" I asked. Chen Lu's Audi had been wrecked before, the rented Coaster had been returned, and now another Corolla had been scrapped. I felt that as a modern live-streaming team, we should have a few cars of our own to be presentable.
"Yes, I do. There's a street of car 4S shops on Tielianxi Second Road. You can find almost all brands there."
"Okay, I'll go buy you a car tomorrow morning. Time to sleep." I yawned and lay down on the bed.
"Uh... sleep? Am I sleeping here?" Zhao Nana asked cautiously.
"No, no, you can go back to your own room. Oh, by the way, you don't need to stay at the front desk all the time; hand it over to security. You should also get some rest." I reminded her. Since we checked into Xijiangyue, I hadn't seen Zhao Nana rest; she was too dedicated.
"Okay, thank you, President Wu." Zhao Nana rubbed her dark circles, smiled sweetly, and left the room.
Yao Yao went to the demons' room for some unknown discussion. By the time I was drowsy and about to fall asleep, she returned. Thinking I was fast asleep, she tiptoed onto the bed, nestled into my arms, and quietly drifted off to sleep...
