Chunyang outpost.
Whenever it rained, Bai Yujun would assign the children homework, then use the curtain of rain as cover to secretly fly to the Chunyang outpost. Cherishing her snake life dearly, Bai Yujun often went to the Forging Furnace to craft armor.
The heavy saber had consumed a great deal of Metal Materials, but quite a few rare metals remained.
By combining other mid-grade materials with the rare metals to forge armor—yes, the snake who cherished her life had decided to add another layer of insurance. Relying on Snake Scales to block attacks all day carried risks. Once they shattered, she would have to consume her own nutrients to grow them back. One more safeguard meant one more life. Worth it.
She had plenty of time. On ordinary days, she taught the children in Woniu Village; on rainy days, she assigned homework and ran over to forge.
Today was no different from usual. After landing, she headed straight for the Forging Furnace.
Unexpectedly, she ran into an old acquaintance she had not seen for more than two hundred years—Li Xiangling, the once pampered Princess, now a Chunyang Palace disciple.
The moment she saw Bai Yujun, Li Xiangling let out a breath of relief.
"Senior Sister Bai, it has been many years. You still look the same."
"Junior Sister Li... did you come specifically to find me?"
Chunyang Disciples with nothing to do would not come all the way to this place so far from Mount Hua, much less wait outside the Forging Furnace courtyard. As the saying went, one did not climb to the Three Treasures Hall without business. Did she have a favor to ask?
Li Xiangling nodded.
"I came down the mountain this time precisely to find you, Senior Sister. Please come with me to the garden."
