Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 289: Do you know this woman? Part3

As soon as Tang Yue stepped out of that small rudimentary hut, she mysteriously found herself in the dwarven royal city’s central square again.

Surprisingly, she was even in her dwarven disguise without her doing anything.

“What technique did the old man use just now?” Tang Yue dazedly pondered. “And where the hell is everyone?”

The central square was now almost deserted, except for a few dwarven soldiers patrolling here and there.

Since Tang Yue had been in a trance, she had no idea about what had happened or the commotion she had inadvertently caused.

So naturally, she was unaware of the reason why the typically bustling city’s center now looked like a graveyard.

Tang Yue frowned slightly but first, she decided to pay attention to more important things.

“Old man?” She called out inwardly and waited for a while but there was no response from the other end.

She was just about to try and summon the system’s interface when another figure unexpectedly materialized near her.

“Tang Yue?” An old dwarf stood next to her and looked at her curiously. 

Though he was simply gazing at her, there seemed to be a hint of animosity hidden within his gaze. 

Moreover, the man wore dwarven royal regalia and he had a powerful austere presence.

Tang Yue gulped nervously. 

If she was not mistaken, this was one of the Grandmaster blacksmiths who had been previously observing the contest from the palace courtyard.

What did he want with me? 

Tang Yue didn’t allow her anxiety to appear on her face and she humbly bowed. “Yes, my lord.”

“Hmph. Call me senior brother.”

Huh? Tang Yue stared at the man in confusion. 

“I have no idea who you are and what you did, but this is the first time something like this has happened.”

“Master has accepted you as his disciple and you can learn our spirit smithing technique.”

“Though with your cultivation base and smithing skills, I don’t see any point in this endeavor.”

“Ah~” Tang Yue now understood what was happening. 

That old man was probably the master of this old man and had asked him to teach the technique to her.

Even though the dwarf sounded slightly hostile, Tang Yue still nodded her head gratefully.

She cupped her hands and bowed slightly accepting the tutelage of the Grandmaster in front of her.

“Hmmm… You don’t have to pay your respects to me. I am not the one teaching you.”

Huh? Tang Yue was once again stumped. These dwarves! Can’t they just talk clearly and say everything at once! Just how many old men did she have to pay respects to!!!

Without any further explanation, the dwarf started walking away from the central square and Tang Yue wordlessly followed him.

This was a Grandmaster blacksmith, one of the highest realm elders in the Dwarven Empire.

This person was her senior brother? Just what sort of a sick joke is this? Tang Yue sighed in disbelief.

As they continued walking amidst the deserted streets in the night, all the guards and soldiers who crossed them had incredulous looks on their faces.

An elder was walking in the public? Just what the hell is going on?

Now just Tang Yue but everyone who crossed them was confused.

But no one had the guts to stop them and quench their curiosity. 

They just silently bowed and waited for the elder to cross them before carrying on with their work.

Tang Yue and the elder continued walking and walking for quite a few minutes until they were almost at the outskirts of the royal city.

And they walking in total silence. Each not saying a word to the other.

Tang Yue could understand the elder’s plight of having to call someone like her his junior sister.

But this was really not her fault!

She felt her whole body uncomfortably tingle because of the awkward silence.

Maybe because she was busy stealing glances at the elder walking ahead of her and pondering about the night’s unbelievable events, she hadn’t quite realized where exactly they were headed to.

But as they neared their destination, Tang Yue started recognizing the familiar streets and a few minutes later, a familiar run-down smithy.

She instantly stopped in her tracks, her brain freezing.

Don’t tell me…

Don’t tell me…!!!

Fuck!

The very next minute, Tang Yue found herself standing beside the great almighty grandmaster blacksmith dwarf in front of the small run-down smithy.

This… This… Why the hell are we here? Tang Yue screamed inwardly. An ominous feeling bubbled up in her heart.

She hoped that this was just a detour and not her destination, but as she watched the elder carefully lift the broken door, keep it aside and enter, she could almost guess what was waiting for her…

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

Tang Yue cursed her bad luck and followed the elder, stepping into the desolate smithy.

“Ahem Ahem… Senior brother Miller?” The elder crossed his hands in front of him, waiting for a response patiently.

Senior brother Miller? Tang Yue started sweating as soon as she heard these words.

Aha Ha Ha. How’s that possible? There is no way. It can’t be that drunkard. Maybe someone else is also here. She awkwardly consoled herself.

But the elder standing next to her seemed extremely serious. He cleared his throat and patiently called out again.

“Senior brother Miller, Master sent me here.” This time he made sure to include the big shot’s name. 

If he didn’t mention their Master, the elder knew that the drunkard wouldn’t probably respond to him, even if he stood there and called for him all day long.

A couple of seconds passed…

And just as the elder had expected, a drunken wobbly figure swaggered from inside.

“Master? Hic. It’s been so long. Didn’t that old man die already?”

“Senior brother!” The elder was instantly infuriated. “Don’t be disrespectful!”

“Ha? Who the heck are you? This is my house. I will do whatever I want.” 

The drunkard swirled the alcohol in the bottle and chugged some more, before choking on the same and spraying the contents of his mouth on the Grandmaster blacksmith.
