Chu Yang was feeling a bit distracted and said, "Uh..."
Cat Nini jumped up while covering her face, spinning around, and when she landed, her face was twisted, almost in tears as she exclaimed, "What do we do? That’s a heavenly level treasured sword..."
Chu Yang weakly replied, "Let's go check it out at the auction..."
Cat Nini still couldn't let it go, walked a few steps, and suddenly pointed at Chu Yang, angrily shouting, "You... you wasteful son of a thousand years, an idiot rarely seen in ten thousand years! You actually tossed away our ancestral treasured sword just for a meal? You—you—you... you’re driving me crazy! You could at least give the sword to me..."
"The rumors are going around, and you, the one who dined and dashed, have such a good reputation, while I, the great Cat Teacher, am in such a miserable state... Is there any heavenly principle left?"
At this point, Cat Teacher's mouth was already so anxious it was bubbling, and she was too heartbroken to speak.
Although Cat Teacher was somewhat pure-hearted, she was not completely oblivious to the world; if she were truly the typical bookworm, how could she be worthy of being the teacher of a clan?
While there were indeed connections involved, Cat Teacher's real talents were not something anyone could doubt.
The entire Nine Heavens Pavilion was vast, populated by many people, and naturally, there were quite a few skilled craftsmen as well. There were not a few high-level master blacksmiths, and even if they were not famous, there were still dozens of them. However, compared to the enormous population of martial artists in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, this number was hardly enough to fill a cup of water, or to use a more fitting analogy, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
By simple numerical comparison, even if all these so-called ‘experts’ worked day and night without eating or drinking, and dedicated their entire lives to it, they would still be far from meeting the demand of martial artists in the Nine Heavens Pavilion for high-level weapons. This comparison was definitely not an exaggeration and was even a consensus among everyone.
Moreover, weapons at the heavenly level required at least a high-level master blacksmith to forge, and even then, it was only done ‘occasionally’.
For if one truly wanted every weapon to be guaranteed to reach the heavenly level, only a ‘master’ could achieve that. However, master-level blacksmiths were not easy to hire; those "masters" might be busy preparing to advance to even higher levels because the pinnacle of master-level crafting could yield saint-level weapons. Only a weapon of saint-level quality could truly live up to the title of ‘master’.
Above the ‘master’ level exists the Master Blacksmith, who is the pinnacle of the forging industry!
However, there were only two renowned masters in the entire Nine Heavens Pavilion, and both had already closed their forges!
Unless someone was a particularly close and old friend or had owed them a favor, no one would be forging any more weapons...
Because of this, when Cat Teacher heard that a certain fool had actually tossed away a heavenly level treasured sword, she was instantly heartbroken to the point of tears.
This foolish Chu Yang, this super wasteful son, actually threw away such an incredibly precious heavenly level weapon just for a meal and to act convincingly? Even now, Cat Teacher still found it hard to believe. She couldn't accept it...
What would you call someone like that? Not a fool, not an extreme wasteful son, what else could they be?!
"Alas..." At this moment, Chu Yang's expression was quite strange. It seemed like a smile, yet it also looked a bit annoyed; the strangest part was that he even smiled as if feeling relieved. "Let’s go, let’s see if we can find my treasured sword and see whose hands it has fallen into, and how much it can sell for."
Cat Nini choked up and said, "It’s destined to belong to someone else now; looking at it will only add to the sadness, so it's better not to look. I’m telling you, such a good weapon, and the price at the auction will definitely be astronomical. You have no hope of redeeming it, and you definitely don’t have that kind of money... We don’t even have money to buy a bun..."
