Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 95: No Flaws

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A person without flaws was either a saint or a hypocrite!

Was Zhu Chuanfeng a saint?

Zhou Shu would rather die than believe it!

At the very least, in Zhou Shu’s interactions with him, Zhu Chuanfeng was not in the least bit like a saint!

Was there a problem with the information on the Forging Division?

Not necessarily.

Although the Forging Division’s information was detailed, it wasn’t exhaustive. Perhaps there were things that the Forging Division didn’t feel the need to record.

After all, even in the information age of his previous life, officials couldn’t achieve this, let alone this world.

No matter how strong the Great Xia Imperial Court was, it was impossible for it to find out everything about Zhu Chuanfeng.

This could only mean that Zhu Chuanfeng had hidden himself well.

Just because he doesn’t have any known weaknesses, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any, Zhou Shu thought. But so what if I know his weaknesses? It’s useless.

He didn’t really want to understand Zhu Chuanfeng. He wanted to take Zhu Chuanfeng down so that he wouldn’t always cause trouble for him!

There must be something I overlooked.

Zhou Shu’s intuition told him that there was something wrong with Zhu Chuanfeng. Although he didn’t know what the problem was, he trusted his intuition.

He flipped to the first page of Zhu Chuanfeng’s information and began to read it word by word.

Four hours later, Zhou Shu suddenly raised his head from the pile of paper.

He quickly turned the book to the front, then quickly turned to one of the pages.

After reading for a while, he quickly flipped through the pages again. After he read several pages in a row, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Ever since Zhu Chuanfeng made his debut, he has mentioned his master nine times. But in these nine times, he has never really mentioned his master’s name!

He said at first that he didn’t mention his master’s name because he was afraid of embarrassing his master . But after he became the youngest Grand Craftsmen, he should definitely bring honor to his master . There’s no way he would embarrass his master !

Why didn’t he mention his master’s name then?

Is there something wrong with his master ?

But if there’s something wrong with his master, can the Great Xia Imperial Court not find out?

He thought about whether the Forging Master whom Zhu Chuanfeng had saved was a Forging Master from an enemy nation, but the possibility was almost zero.

If he was a Forging Master from an enemy nation, then the Great Xia Imperial Court would have already found out when Zhu Chuanfeng just made his debut. In that case, they wouldn’t allow him to mature.

The fact that the Imperial Court didn’t care meant that there was no problem with the Forging Master whom Zhu Chuanfeng had saved.

But why was it that the name of the Forging Master was not mentioned in the information?

This didn’t make sense.

… Unless someone deliberately concealed the name of the Forging Master.

Could Zhu Chuanfeng do this?

He could prevent himself from mentioning his master’s name. But it was unlikely that he would be able to tamper with the Forging Division’s information, especially his own.

If someone was covering up Zhu Chuanfeng’s master’s name, then this person might be…

The emperor?

But why would the emperor do that? Unless there’s something wrong with this Forging Master!

The problem returned to the original point. If there was something wrong with this Forging Master, why did the Great Xia Imperial Court allow his successor to grow?

Wait!

If there was something wrong with this Forging Master, it might not necessarily mean that he was a Forging Master from an enemy nation!

If he was a Forging Master of Great Xia and had angered the emperor for some reason, the emperor might not want to see his name, but he wouldn’t suspect that his successor was a spy. This would explain why the Imperial Court didn’t kill Zhu Chuanfeng before he grew up.

If so, it would explain why the name of the Forging Master whom Zhu Chuanfeng had saved wasn’t recorded.

So, there’s no problem with that? Zhou Shu frowned. He had always felt that something was off here. What’s the problem?

Zhou Shu kept flipping through the information.

If the Forging Master didn’t commit a heinous crime, why would the emperor be unwilling to see his name?

The problem is, although the Forging Master has some status, what kind of heinous crime could he commit?

Logically speaking, a Forging Master isn’t at the level of angering an emperor.

It might be possible if the person was a Grand Craftsman.

Could the person Zhu Chuanfeng have saved be a Grand Craftsman?

But in that case, the information should be clearly recorded.

Zhou Shu analyzed the situation meticulously. Finally, he discovered a suspicious point!

After his master died, Zhu Chuanfeng helped bring his master’s coffin back to the capital and buried it in the Western Hills.

Something’s wrong. If my previous speculation is true, and Zhu Chuanfeng’s master had offended the emperor, would he still dare to bring the coffin back to the capital?

In addition, the Western Hills should be the location of the imperial mausoleum.

Was Zhu Chuanfeng’s master a member of the imperial family?

Zhou Shu immediately pieced together a story in his mind. Within the imperial family, there was a prince with unparalleled talent. This prince not only had a high cultivation level, but he was also a Forging Master.

When he was fighting for the throne, he was unfortunately defeated. When he escaped, he was saved by a village blacksmith and accepted him as his disciple. However, his injuries were too severe, and he died soon after accepting a disciple.

After that, the disciple he had taken in before his death was exceptionally talented in forging. He had made great progress.

On account of him, the current emperor secretly took care of his disciple, which resulted in his disciple becoming the youngest Forging Master.

Everything seems logical so far. Zhou Shu shook his head with a bitter smile. This seemed to explain everything.

The problem was that this wasn’t the outcome he wanted.

He had spent half a day to prove there was nothing he could use against Zhu Chuanfeng?

No, that’s not right. If his master really died fighting for the throne, then Zhu Chuanfeng must have hidden so many weapons to avenge his master.

But he immediately shook his head. It might not be impossible, but the possibility was low.

No matter how powerful a weapon was, it depended on the user.

Seven heaven-grade weapons were indeed impressive, but Zhu Chuanfeng had to gather seven people who could use them.

Even if there were seven experts, it was not an easy matter to assassinate Emperor Yuan Feng.

Moreover, Zhu Chuanfeng didn’t seem like the kind of person who would do anything to avenge someone.

What a headache. Is Zhu Chuanfeng really so hypocritical that he has no flaws at all? Zhou Shu pinched between his brows.

But he really couldn’t analyze anything from this information. It was just as the information said. Zhu Chuanfeng had no weaknesses.

Perhaps his only weakness was that his Martial Dao cultivation was too low.

Of course, this was only relative.

Unless it was an expert above the third rank, it was impossible to approach Zhu Chuanfeng. Zhu Chuanfeng’s younger brother had a fourth-rank Martial Dao cultivation.

In his residence, there were a few guards at the fourth or fifth rank.

A Grand Craftsman didn’t rely on their own Martial Dao cultivation. Their foundation lay in forging and their connections through forging!

Do I really have to use that method?

Zhou Shu raised his head and glanced outside the window. His original intention was to use the information he obtained from the Forging Division to see if he could find Zhu Chuanfeng’s weakness.

It would be best if he could take him down. Even if he couldn’t, he had to make sure he wouldn’t pester him anymore.

But from the looks of it now, it was impossible to do either of these with just this information.

If he couldn’t strike first to prevail, did it mean he could only strike later to fail?

How could Zhou Shu sit and wait for death!

Zhou Shu looked at the night sky. There are some risks, but not much.

Once trouble comes knocking, it will be even more troublesome.

Zhou Shu frowned. Since I can’t avoid it, I might as well take the initiative!

After pondering for a moment, he stood up and took out an Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber. He casually hung it on his waist and walked out.

As the superintendent of the 0th Workshop, Zhou Shu naturally had the right to freely enter and exit the workshop.

Just as he left the workshop, he felt a gaze on him.

As if he didn’t notice, Zhou Shu continued forward.

Only when he was far away did a black figure silently slide down from a tree.

There was a flash of doubt in this person’s eyes. But very quickly, he disappeared like smoke as he chased after him.

Throughout the entire process, the guards at the entrance of the workshop didn’t notice this figure at all.

Actually, when Zhou Shu returned earlier, he had already sensed that someone was spying on him.

At first, he thought it was an illusion. But after repeatedly entering and exiting the workshop, he finally confirmed that someone was indeed spying on him!

If not for the fact that he cultivated the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, and his spiritual sense had improved significantly, he might not have been able to discover this person with his five senses alone.

Once he found out, he quickly confirmed the other party’s identity!

It was Zhu Chuanfeng’s younger brother!

A fourth-rank martial artist!

He actually came personally to monitor him!

Zhu Chuanfeng was serious!

The more this was the case, the more Zhou Shu felt that there was something wrong with Zhu Chuanfeng!

Otherwise, if he just wanted to accept a Forging Apprentice as his disciple, even if this Forging Apprentice was a workshop superintendent, there was no need to do so!

Zhou Shu had encountered a fourth-rank martial artist before. Not only had he encountered one, but he had also fought one!

In the end, Zhou Shu won.

Compared to that time, Zhou Shu’s Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique hadn’t leveled up. But his Golden Bell Shield had broken through to the seventh level.

1

Furthermore, he had also cultivated the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form.

His overall strength was more than 30% stronger than before!

If they fought again, Zhou Shu was completely confident that he could kill the assassin without getting injured.

Zhu Chuanfeng’s younger brother’s cultivation might not be stronger than the fourth-rank assassin’s. Even if he was stronger, his strength was limited.

If they really fought, Zhou Shu felt that his chances of victory would be higher.

The night was still like water as Zhou Shu walked along the quiet road. He could faintly see the distant city walls of Chang’an, like a long dragon in the darkness.

He counted his steps one step at a time. Suddenly, his ears twitched.

He’s here! He smirked.

Zhu Chuanzhi crept like a ghost, his feet hardly touching the ground, as he appeared not too far behind Zhou Shu. As he watched Zhou Shu’s back, he was a bit puzzled. What is he going to do so late at night?

Zhu Chuanzhi immediately recalled his elder brother’s instructions.

The night was dark, and there was no one around. This was the best opportunity to strike.

Without any hesitation, he appeared in front of Zhou Shu.
