Although he felt a little uncomfortable, since he was already here, he might as well ask a few more questions.
With that thought in mind, Tang San continued, "Then are there any blacksmiths of master rank or above still at the Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City?"
The Soul Emperor gatekeeper nodded and said, "Divine Smith Lou Gao's disciple, Grandmaster Si Feng, has been at the Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City these past few days."
Who was Si Feng?
He knew Lou Gao had four disciples, three of whom were Si Long, Si Yu, and Si Di.
But he had absolutely no idea what the last one was called.
Fortunately, seeing Tang San's utterly bewildered expression, Zhao Hong immediately explained, "In the Blacksmith Association, aside from Divine Smith Lou Gao himself, the finest craftsmen are his four disciples. Si Feng is one of them."
Upon hearing that, Tang San's expression immediately warmed, and he said, "Then could you introduce me to him?"
As Tang San spoke, Zhao Hong took out a few Gold Soul Coins and slipped them into the two gatekeepers' hands, saying with a sheepish smile, "A small token of appreciation. Nothing much."
Looking at the money pouches in their hands, the two gatekeepers lit up with delight. They exchanged a knowing glance, and one said, "You're too kind, too kind. Grandmaster Si Feng should be having tea right now. I'll take you to him."
There were no guards between the fourth and fifth floors, only an alloy gate made from several different metals blocking the staircase.
The Soul Emperor gatekeeper walked up to the alloy gate, raised his hand, and tapped on it in a precise rhythm.
After the gatekeeper had knocked thirty-six times in total, the metal gate creaked and slowly slid aside, revealing the passage upstairs.
