Meanwhile, inside Dorm 123.
"I'm back."
"Boss, why are you back so soon? Where's that girl?"
When Tang Luochuan returned, Zhang Yangzi and the others looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
Their boss went out with a young girl, didn't he?
And he's back so quickly?
"She went back too."
Tang Luochuan paused slightly, then chuckled. Could it be that Gu Yue was supposed to come back with him?
"Hmm?"
"Boss, she seemed to really like you. Didn't you two walk around the school together a bit more?"
Wang Jinxi's eyes were filled with curiosity as he gossiped.
He was usually a truly reclusive boy, but when it came to gossip, he was clearly very interested.
Not to mention, their talents were equally impressive; both were Spirit Grandmasters at Level 28, and they were even in the same class. One could say it was a fated bond.
Why not get along better?
"Jinxi."
"Your thoughts are very impure."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan wore a wry smile, shaking his head.
What did he mean, 'seemed to really like him'?
He and Gu Yue still had a very pure relationship. After all, they were both only nine years old. Speaking of which, are the children on Douluo Continent really so precocious?
Nine years old, back in his past life...
That was an age that could get you in trouble.
"..."
The next day.
"Good morning, Tang Luochuan."
In Class One of the first grade, as Tang Luochuan sat down in his seat, Gu Yue naturally sat beside him, a faint smile on her face.
"Hmm?"
"Morning."
Tang Luochuan responded softly, politely returning the greeting.
"..."
Looking at the boy in front of her, who had such a captivating aura but left her at a loss for words, Gu Yue felt a moment of silence in her heart. She had been a human for too short a time; she didn't even know how to start a conversation.
"This afternoon."
"Do you have time to go out?"
It wasn't until the dismissal bell rang that she looked in his direction and asked softly.
This was certainly not without purpose.
She was destined to have a relationship with Tang Luochuan, and that would definitely require a process. It seemed she would have to initiate it herself...
Today's classes were only half a day, so the afternoon could certainly be used to spend time with him. Of course, describing it as 'cultivating feelings' was also perfectly fine.
"This afternoon?"
"I really don't have time."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan shook his head. It wasn't that he was unwilling to agree, but he genuinely had something to do.
He had planned to go with Wu Lin this afternoon to the Forging Master Association for a Forging Master certification. Naturally, he couldn't go out with her to do anything else.
Aolai City didn't have a Forging Master Association. Previously, because they were too young, Mang Tian hadn't let them get in touch with the Forging Master Association too early.
Now that both of them had surpassed Level Three, there was no need to hide their abilities; it was time to show their brilliance.
Of course, he knew perfectly well that the moment they appeared at the Forging Master Association, it wouldn't just be a simple display of brilliance, but a name that would shake the entire Spirit Master's world.
"..."
"Are you really that busy?"
Hearing this, Gu Yue was momentarily stunned, then a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. She looked at the indifferent expression on the person in front of her, but an unusual emotion arose in her heart.
"Yes."
"I have to go out this afternoon, so I probably won't have time to do anything with you."
Tang Luochuan didn't explain much, just said slowly.
"Alright."
"Then I'll head back first."
Hearing this, Gu Yue's face was silent. She sighed helplessly, had no choice but to wave to him, and left alone.
"Okay, I'm about to leave too."
"Hmm…"
Gu Yue forced a smile.
But in her heart, her mood was certainly not as calm as it appeared on the surface—she had been rejected.
This was the first man who had rejected her since she became a human, Tang Luochuan...
You're something else!
Thinking of this, her speed increased, and soon she vanished without a trace.
"Boss."
"Are you...?"
"Did you reject that girl?"
Wang Jinxi's face was solemn as he couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yue's voice when she talked to Tang Luochuan wasn't quiet; at least, he had heard every word. The girl clearly invited the Boss out, so why did she leave so quickly?
"It's not exactly a rejection."
"It's just that I happen to have something to do this afternoon."
"I won't stay here much longer either."
Tang Luochuan didn't agree with that phrasing, shaking his head to correct him. After speaking, he walked towards Class Five of the first grade, where his younger brother was.
"Isn't that still a rejection?"
Only Wang Jinxi was left, his face solemn, muttering to himself.
"Wu Lin, let's go."
Arriving at the entrance of Class Five of the first grade, Tang Luochuan's gaze was drawn to Wu Changkong in the classroom, then he looked towards Tang Wulin and said calmly.
"Coming!"
Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with anticipation. Forging Master certification—he had been looking forward to this for a long time!
"..."
Only Wu Changkong watched the scene before him, his gaze unconsciously falling on Tang Luochuan. Is this Tang Wulin's elder brother? What an exceptional individual.
"..."
"Xiong Jun, keep an eye on him for me."
"I want to see what he's so busy doing."
Meanwhile, after arriving at a deserted place, Gu Yue's expression was cold, but she said faintly.
"Yes, Master."
From a hidden spot, a black-clad figure nodded, then vanished in a flash.
Soon after, the Forging Master Association in East Sea City.
This was a gray building, about thirty stories high, with a huge hammer symbol on top. With this symbol, one could recognize its information without even needing a nameplate.
Entering through the glass door on the first floor, facing them was a ten-meter-high glass wall, adorned with an eight-meter-tall golden giant hammer relief.
"Two little brothers, what are you here for?"
Arriving at the front desk, the staff member looked at Tang Luochuan with curious eyes. They were two very handsome young boys.
"We're here for a Forging Master level assessment."
Tang Luochuan said slowly.
"Little one, you're so young and already joking. Being a Forging Master isn't something you can do at such a young age…"
"Excuse me, is GrandmasterMu Chen here? We were introduced by GrandmasterMang Tian. These are our letters of introduction."
Just as the staff member was about to tease them, Tang Luochuan shook his head, pulled two recommendation letters from his pocket, and handed them over.
One was for Tang Luochuan, and the other for Tang Wulin. Perhaps the content would differ greatly, but there was no doubt that...
These both confirmed Tang Luochuan and Tang Wulin's powerful talent in Forging.
"This…"
Looking at the unique recommendation from a Level Six Grandmaster Forger on the letters, the woman's face immediately showed hesitation. In the end, she still dialed the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
"President, it's me, Xiao Xing. Two children are here with recommendation letters from GrandmasterMang Tian…"
"Introduced by Mang Tian?"
"Bring them up."
Hearing this, Mu Chen immediately spoke, his face glowing in the room where others couldn't see him.
These two brothers have finally arrived!
