"...Let me go hooomee, I've had my run

Baby, I'm done, I gotta go home

Let me go hoooomeee

It will all right, I'll be home tonight

I'm coming back home~" [1]

Another month has been passed since Mubai advanced to Spirit Ancestors Rank. All of his preparation to scam, no, to sell his Golden Roc's product to those lovely customer has been done. Now, Mubai was on his way to the Starfall Imperial Capital, he's excited because after all of these fiascos are done and sorted out, then he will have several years of time to have fun and explore the continent!

"Woah, I don't know you can sing that well." Old Gao was surprised to hear Mubai could sing well.

"Hmph, this young master can do anything if I wish to do so. Not to mention just sing a little bit of song, even you ask me to do all four arts [2] I can still do them flawlessly!" Mubai said that with his head proudly facing the sky, as if saying 'Praise me, I'm the genius.'

He's not kidding with that though, even though he doesn't dare to claim that he's the best in that field, at least he has a decent understanding and talent in four arts coupled with his father's teaching in his former world.

"Yeah yeah..." In the span of a few months, Mubai and Luo Gao have become much closer and become like a friend instead of a master and its subordinate as it was before.

"Hey, I'm being serious here. By the way Old Gao, you do understand my arrangement for the upcoming martial tournament, don't you?"

"Yes, I understand. For that, I've sent my disciples Si Yu, and Si Long, to deliver your letter to His Majesty the Emperor two months ago, and fortunately, their audience was granted our request was accepted after His Majesty read your letter. His Majesty arranges a land plot at the outer section near the Capital's Inner Wall for us to build our store according to your design and approximately will be finished in another month or so when we arrive at the capital."

Hearing Luo Gao's reply, Mubai nodded happily. It was a happy thing that they now able to execute a sequence of proper diplomacy mission, in the beginning, let alone an Emperor, those two fools even got nervous when they tasked with several orders to promote the Blacksmiths Hall's new product to the low-class Nobles.

'Hmm, good. It takes me a long time to decide which design should I use for my Golden Roc first shop. After we've arrived, I will build various formation array to cover the whole building. There'll be no arson, no petty thief, and it will be protected from any kind of any prying eyes from outside. Do you want to know our goods? then come inside! Fufufufu...'

Times flies by when they continuously talked about the Blacksmiths hall's long-term plan. Unconsciously, 30 days have been passed since then and now they're standing in front of Starfall Imperial Capital's City gate.

"It's been a long and winding journey, but I'm finally here tonight~" [3]

With a song accompanying him, he along with Luo Gao and their entourage waited in line to enter the Starfall Imperial Capital.

...

"Well, this is not a bad thing at all. The guy who designed this store must be pretty awesome." Mubai said while happily looking at the grand building in front of him with magnificent Golden Roc statues above its topmost roof and in front of its door.

"You're pretty narcissistic, aren't you? But I must admit that a building this beautifully designed is a new one for me." Luo Gao said while staring agape at the sight in front of him, it was a magnificent twenty-five story building with a strange yet beautiful design.

Inside, from the topmost floor to the twenty-first floor are the living quarters for the Blacksmith hall of the Golden Roc's members. From the twentieth floor until the ground floor is the place for the goods and working place including smithing rooms, auction grand hall, goods exhibition hall, and many others. While the storage room is on the underground floor.[4]

'It's obviously strange to you though, with mostly the buildings here is using an 'eastern style' yet here I using a 'western style' design.' Mubai scorned Luo Gao inside his mind, yet he keeps his happy expression on his face.

"But, is a building this huge really built in three months time?" a skepticism arose in Luo Gao's heart, he thought that was it possible to accomplish all of these in three months?

"Believe what you see, the proof is in front of you Old Gao." Mubai's hand grabbed Luo Gao's shoulder to convince him.

'Of course, it's possible. Only idiot that says this was Impossible to accomplish while among the laborers were dozens of spirit masters with cultivation at least spirit grandmasters.'

"Now old Gao, just go inside to rest for the night while our blacksmith hall members arrange our products and tools inside."

"...Okay then, My body is too old now, I'll leave the rest to you." Mubai nodded to Luo Gao's response.

Not long after Luo Gao went inside, a shadow materialized behind Mubai and taking the shape of a kneeling person.

"Master!" the shadow-shrouded person said slowly without lifting his head.

"How is it, Ah Si? Are our roots here in the capital firm enough to withstand the incoming storm?" Mubai said without turning back.

"Yes Master, it's ready to weather the incoming storm."

"Is there any news from Ah Yi?" Mubai lifts his face, he's staring at the star-filled night sky. His eyes then closed and he's releasing a deep sigh.

"Yes, there's a big movement from 'them'. It's almost certain that they will make a move at the upcoming Martial Tournament." Yuan Si said in a low voice, and if Mubai wasn't attentive enough then Yuan Si's voice will be treated as a passing breeze.

'So, it's time, huh...'

"Begin the preparatory stage, Summon Ah Liu here, tell him to bring few peoples from Abyss to go undercover and join the upcoming Martial Tournament. Also, tell Ah Wu and her team to mix with peoples and watch our suspects close." [5]

A terrifying smile bloom on Mubai's face, his eyes opened, and a thick murderous aura rose out from him.

"One of these days and it won't be long. This time, we will make 'them' regret to mess with us."
