Warrior’s Promise

“Liang Tong, I’d like to establish a craftsmanship hall in this sect with you at its helm!” Su Mo looked at Liang Tong and came directly to the point. Liang Tong had proven his loyalty by following him to Central Continent.

Plus, even if he was not completely loyal, Su Mo had his way of making Liang Tong follow him willingly.

“Thanks for your favor, Sect Leader!” Liang Tong saluted Su Mo without an ounce of happiness on his face. He was focused on pursuing the path of craftsmanship and did not care for the title of Hall Chief!

Liang Tong hesitated then continued, “However, there are too few craftsmen within the Sect. Other than myself, the rest are all third-rate. I’m afraid I would not be able to handle such a large responsibility.”

Su Mo frowned at his words. This elderly man dared to say that others were third-rate!

To me, your craftsmanship standard is third-rate too! Su Mo thought.

He thought for a moment then said, “There’s no need to worry. As long as you remain loyal to this sect, all these would not be a problem.”

Liang Tong frowned slightly at Su Mo’s words and said, “Master, joining Firmament Sect and joining you here in Central Continent are already signs of my loyalty!”

He sighed inwardly. It was obvious that Su Mo did not really trust him, but he didn’t mind too much. After all, he had just joined Firmament Sect.

However, Su Mo’s lofty ambitions caused him to shake his head secretly. Su Mo was just too young!

All these would not be a problem?

Craftsmanship was a skill that required a long time to master. Su Mo had over-simplified it!

It would be hard for him to achieve anything with those third-rate craftsmen at Firmament Sect!

“Good!” Su Mo nodded, then said after a moment of thought. “Let’s go to Sky-sea Pavilion!”

Su Mo then strode outside.

Liang Tong was bewildered but still followed Su Mo out.

After Su Mo left, the three Hall Chiefs selected the Martial King Realm martial arts techniques that were suitable for them and left to cultivate with excitement.

Su Mo strolled along Qingyuan City with Liang Tong and headed straight for the Sky-sea Pavilion branch within the city.

He had already heard from Zhao Yunxi that there was a Sky-sea Pavilion branch within this City and that their branches dotted Central Continent. Any city worth its salt would have a branch.

Qingyuan City might be a small city but due to its proximity to Barbaric Mountains, People traded with all kinds of raw materials. This led Sky-sea Pavilion to open a branch here.

“Sect Leader, why are we heading to Sky-sea Pavilion?” Liang Tong asked in confusion. Didn’t Su Mo just say he wanted to establish a craftsmanship hall? What did this have to do with Sky-sea Pavilion?

“To buy you some craftsmanship materials” Su Mo replied.

“Craftsmanship materials for me?” Liang Tong couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t lack craftsmanship materials at all. There was no need to purchase extra!

Liang Tong was speechless. His craftsmanship skills had improved so much recently he thought that he’d be able to progress to Medium Lv 4 Craftsman, and he had been working hard to achieve that goal. He didn’t have the time to be out shopping!

“Sect Leader, why don’t you head there yourself? I’ll go back first!” Liang Tong said softly.

Su Mo turned to look at him and said coldly, “I’m here to buy craftsmanship materials for you but you’re asking me to go alone?”

Uh!

Liang Tong froze, then immediately fell silent. He didn’t dare to directly go against Su Mo’s wishes.

He had joined Firmament Sect because he had admired Su Mo’s talent. If he fell out with Su Mo, he would not be able to stay in the sect.

They made their way to Sky-sea Pavilion in silence and soon found their way to the branch.

The Sky-sea Pavilion here was rather majestic. Although it was not as majestic as the main branch in East Continent, but it was at least 10 times the size of the branch in Skymoon Country.

In a spacious large hall with an area of a few hundred hectares, many people milled around. Their business was booming.

As Su Mo entered the great hall, he saw that there were many individual booths within the hall selling a myriad of treasures.

It wasn’t long before Su Mo approached the booth selling craftsmanship materials.

This was the largest booth in the hall and was almost like a great hall of its own. There was a plaque above its booth that said ‘Craftsmanship Pavilion’ in flowing calligraphy.

One could buy and sell all sorts of weapons and craftsmanship materials within.

There were many young female shop assistants within the pavilion and a young girl of about 20 years old hurriedly came over to greet them the moment she spotted Su Mo and Liang Tong.

“Welcome, Masters. How may I help you today?” she said respectfully to Liang Tong.

Liang Tong was wearing his craftsman uniform with the insignia of a Lv 4 craftsman emblazoned on it, which was why this shop assistant was so eager to greet them.

She completely ignored Su Mo.

Liang Tong did not speak since he was just here on an errand with Su Mo.

Su Mo shot this girl a glance and did not really take her lack of greeting to heart. He said, “Does this place have an elder or a pavilion leader?”

“Elder or Pavilion Leader?”

This young shop assistant looked at Su Mo in shock.

Gan Ling had been with the craftsmanship pavilion for about a year and thought that she had an eye for people. One look at Su Mo and she surmised that Su Mo was the disciple of this Lv 4 craftsman.

So, her conclusion was that these two were here to ask the Pavilion Leader for advice on craftsmanship techniques.

This was a common occurrence here. As an Upper Lv 5 craftsman, the pavilion master was the most skillful craftsman in Qingyuan City. Many craftsmen would come over to seek his tutelage.

He had already instructed the employees here to ignore such requests and chase them out of the shop.

“I’m sorry. Our Pavilion Leader does not have time for you!” Gan Ling’s face turned cold and she said, “If you’re not here purchase weapons or materials, I’ll have to kindly ask you to leave!”

Gan Ling did not wish to entertain Su Mo any longer since she would have nothing to gain from him.

If Su Mo and his companion were here to buy weapons or craftsmanship materials, she would be able to earn a relatively large commission if she attended to them.

Liang Tong was similarly bewildered and looked at Su Mo in confusion. Wasn’t he here to purchase craftsmanship materials? Why was he now looking for the Pavilion Leader?

“Very busy?” Su Mo scoffed. This girl’s attitude grated on his nerves. As the highest level Honorary Craftsman of Sky-sea Pavilion, how dare they treat him so shabbily here!

Su Mo said disdainfully, “Ask your Pavilion Leader to come out and meet me!”

Su Mo’s words silenced everyone.

Gan Ling’s eyes widened as she looked at Su Mo in disbelief.

This fella dared to ask the Pavilion Leader to come out and meet him?
