870 We Forgers Promise to Keep Our Word (1)

In the Sima Grotto-Heaven, Zheng Chengan stood at the side of an ancient building complex.

In front of him was Zheng Jungyun, a Zheng family ancestor. Behind him were Ji Lutian and Zhou Shu.

Of course, even Zheng Chengan didn’t recognize Zhou Shu’s current appearance.

Zheng Chengan was wondering why his ancestor wanted him to open the storehouse.

Who is the young man beside Old Ji?

Could the ancestor have ordered the Sima Grotto-Heaven to be sealed because of him?

Zheng Chengan suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.

Three words appeared in his mind: Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!

He abruptly raised his head and stared at the back of the young man beside Ji Lutian!

This back view was extremely unfamiliar. Zheng Chengan couldn’t find any familiarity with him, and he was puzzled.

“Zheng Jingyun, think carefully. If you let me cross this door, I won’t show mercy,” Zhou Shu said.

“I, Zheng Jingyun, am a man of my word. Since I’m willing to bet, I’m willing to admit defeat. Even if you empty this place, I’ll accept it!” Zheng Jingyun snorted. “But I’ll make it clear first. You only have this one chance. You can only take things from the storehouse once!”

Hmph, he isn’t a Grotto-Heaven realm expert and doesn’t have a portable grotto-heaven. How many forging materials can a single person hold?

You inexperienced brat, do you think you can empty my Sima Grotto-Heaven’s storehouse?

The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly.

Just as he was about to step into the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s storehouse, Zheng Chengan suddenly shouted, “Wait!”

Zheng Jingyun turned around and said coldly with a dark expression, “Little An, what do you mean?”

Little An? Zhou Shu almost burst out laughing.

“Ancestor, you can’t! You can’t let him into the storehouse!” Zheng Chengan shouted.

“Are you trying to tell me what to do?” Zheng Jingyun’s expression darkened. “Or are you disrespecting me now that you’re the leader of the Sima Grotto-Heaven?”

“Neither. Ancestor, we really can’t let him in.” Zheng Chengan was at a loss for words. He was still struggling to decide if he should reveal Zhou Shu’s true identity.

First, he wasn’t sure that the person in front of him was Zhou Shu. Second, the fact that Zhou Shu was still alive was a secret that concerned the stability of the human race. Once the demonic beasts found out, the beast tide would immediately arrive!

“If that’s all, then move aside,” Zheng Jingyun said angrily. “If you want me to become a shameless person, I’ll skin you alive!”

He said to Zhou Shu, “Brat Zhou, go in. I, Zheng Jingyun, keep my word!”

The name ‘Zhou’ was like thunder in Zheng Chengan’s ears. If he had only suspected Zhou Shu just now, he was now 100% sure of Zhou Shu’s identity!

The ancestor was letting Zhou Shu enter the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heaven. Wasn’t this inviting a wolf into the house?

The lesson from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was not that long ago!

Although Zheng Chengan liked Zhou Shu very much, he didn’t like him so much that he would give away his own storehouse.

“Wait!” Zheng Chengan shouted. “If you dare to go in, I’ll tell everyone your name!”

He ignored Zheng Jingyun’s dark expression and shouted, “Our Sima Grotto-Heaven has never offended you, have we? I even personally destroyed your corpse so that no one could discover your secret. Is this how you treat your friends?”

“Are we friends?” Zhou Shu’s face darkened. I’ve been exposed again?

“We robbed the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven together and killed enemies on the frontline together. It’s not too much to call us friends, right?” Zheng Chengan stared straight at Zhou Shu. “I treat you as a friend. Otherwise, do you think I would take care of the people of Great Xia and Great Qin?”

“Little An, what are you talking about? Move aside!” Zheng Jingyun frowned.

Zhou Shu looked at Zheng Chengan. “Your ancestor lost a bet to me. According to the bet, I can enter your Sima Grotto-Heaven’s storehouse to choose a few forging materials. Do you want your ancestor to become a scoundrel who refuses to admit defeat?”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jingyun yelled again, “Little An, get lost!”

Zheng Chengan straightened his neck and braced himself to ignore his ancestor Zheng Jingyun. “Give me some face!”

“Alright, I’ll give you face.” Zhou Shu nodded and said straightforwardly, “I’ll only take half this time.”

Zheng Chengan’s slightly happier mood was instantly dampened. “Half?”

Zhou Shu’s expression darkened. “I’ve already given you face. It’s not a good habit to push your luck.”

“I…”

“Your face is only worth half.”

Zheng Chengan: “…”

Zheng Chengan’s face was actually worth half of the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s storehouse. It sounded pretty good, but why did it feel so awkward?

My face is only worth half the storehouse?

If someone else had said this, Zheng Chengan would have slapped them until their faces were covered in blood. But now, he actually felt flattered…

This made Zheng Chengan shudder.

By the time Zheng Chengan returned to his senses, Zhou Shu had already crossed the threshold and entered the storehouse of Sima Grotto-Heaven.

Just as Zheng Chengan was about to chase after him, Zheng Jingyun grabbed him. “Little An, tell me clearly. Do you know that brat Zhou?”

Zheng Jingyun stared at Zheng Chengan.

“Alright, Zheng Jingyun, don’t make things difficult for him.” Ji Lutian reached out to separate the two of them. “I’ll tell you Brother Zhou’s identity when the time is right.

“But not now. We can’t let too many people know his identity. Besides, it doesn’t matter to you if you know his identity.

“I wanted to stop you many times before, but you insisted on betting with him. But it doesn’t matter. Brother Zhou is a hero who cares about the human race. Even if those things fall into his hands, he will forge them into connate divine weapons and give them to human martial artists for free. This can be regarded as a meritorious deed of the Sima Grotto-Heaven.”
