"Does the young master mean to go out and sing for coin?
" Jingyan blurted out, "How could that be allowed? And singing for coin earns nothing anyway!

If I do not take a thing up, so be it; but if I do, I will be the best at it.
Rest assured — as a blacksmith I will be the finest, in no way inferior to that Overlord Body, the Human Emperor Shen!
