Chapter 1016 - Cooperation
The two manors had clashed for generations, and even Steward He could only try to mediate. Their hatred ran too deep for even him to resolve.
For now, Steward He focused on settling today's dispute peacefully. They would handle whatever came next later.
"Ten blacksmithing workshops? That's outrageous. I can only give up five, at most," Yin Qiong snapped. These workshops were the lifeblood of both manors and losing ten would devastate their income.
"If ten workshops are too much, then hand over the Supreme Harmony Sword!" said Miao Feiyu with a cold smile.
Ten blacksmithing workshops held more value than the Supreme Harmony Sword, which the Renowned Sword Manor desperately needed.
Yin Qiong snorted. "The Renowned Sword Manor lost its swordsmithing techniques long ago. Giving you even five would be a waste."
Although the First Sword Manor had lost in the duel, its swordsmithing legacy still dominated Northern City's reputation.
Their forged swords always attracted high demand. In contrast, the Renowned Sword Manor's weapons rarely drew attention.
The harsh environment in Northern City hindered efforts to build blacksmithing workshops, and only a few sites in Northern City supported blacksmithing chambers.
Even after a thousand years, the First Sword Manor had managed to build only thirty chambers.
"On this special occasion, the Renowned Sword Manor has an announcement to make!" Miao Feiyu declared, casting a deep glance at Yin Qiong.
