Hearing Xin Yun's words, the burly man nad Ah Tie contemptuously curled his lip and disdainfully said, "You accuse our boss of deceiving people, but you're no better yourself. You say you know him, yet he's standing right in front of you, and you're still looking everywhere for him. It's truly laughable…" Having said that, Ah Tie shook his head and, ignoring Xin Yun, turned and walked toward the back door.
"What!" Upon hearing Ah Tie's words, Xin Yun was completely stunned. Indeed… Although Master n Dou had a famous reputation, Xin Yun had never actually seen him before, only hearing about him from others. Obviously… Master n Dou didn't look like Ah Tie. But now, Ah Tie was claiming Master n Dou was right in front of him. Does that an… could it be!
In thought, Xin Yun stared dumbly at the wooden furniture shop owner. Well… although he had put on so weight, and there was more flesh on his face, but all things considered, there was indeed so resemblance to the legendary Master n Dou!
With a wry smile, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "Why even bother with this charade? If you are Master n Dou, then why go through the trouble of deceiving with soone else? You an no harm; I simply wanted to find you to make so things."
"Wait a minute!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the wooden furniture shop owner, covered in sweat, responded with a bitter smile, "I am not the Master n Dou you're looking for. n Dou is my son..."
In the middle of his sentence, the wooden furniture shop owner pulled over a boy about ten years old and said with a bitter smile, "He is n Dou, the creator of this set of tables and chairs."
"Uh..." As Xin Yun listened to the wooden furniture shop owner and looked at the boy in front of him who appeared to be only twelve or thirteen, he was utterly speechless. He was n Dou!
Swallowing hard, Xin Yun foolishly looked at the wooden furniture shop owner and said, "If he is n Dou, then why did you bother dragging Ah Tie out? Why not introduce him to directly?"
Facing Xin Yun's question, the wooden furniture shop owner replied with a bitter smile, "Easy for you to say, but if I pushed such a young kid in front of you and told you he made this furniture, would you believe it?"
"I! This..." Hearing the wooden furniture shop owner's words, Xin Yun finally understood. Yes... No one would believe that this boy, who looked no older than twelve or thirteen but seed clever and bright, could have made this furniture set. Out of ten people, nine wouldn't believe it, yet Xin Yun did believe it. He believed it not for anything else but the confident sparkle in the boy's eyes!
eting Xin Yun's gaze, the boy gave a small smile and said, "Don't judge by my youthful appearance; I am actually much older than you. It's just that... over twenty years ago, while making wooden items, I inhaled the scent of Agarwood and then the Green Wave Fragrant Wood, which slowed down my growth. Over two decades have passed, and my body has barely aged from ten to what appears to be twelve."
Hearing what Master n Dou said, Xin Yun finally realized the situation. This boy, who appeared to be just a twelve or thirteen-year-old, was actually in his mid-thirties and only looked young.
In contemplation, n Dou calmly asked, "Did you co specifically to ask to make sothing? What is it you want to be made?"
Hearing Master n Dou's question, Xin Yun snapped back to reality and blurted out, "This... I ca here mainly to ask you to build a wooden villa for , you see…"
"What? A wooden villa!" Master n Dou was stunned at Xin Yun's words!
After a mont of shock, Master n Dou decisively shook his head and said, "What a joke, I am a carpenter, capable of making furniture and carving art pieces, but when it cos to building villas, I think you might have the wrong person!"
"Huh?" At n Dou's words, Xin Yun's brow furrowed with confusion. Had he rembered incorrectly? Master n Dou didn't build villas! But that didn't make sense! He had heard from others that those buildings were Master n Dou's work.
As Xin Yun pondered, the wooden furniture shop owner interjected, "Custor, you must be mistaken. I know my son, and he doesn't build villas. He has never even dealt with such projects, and even if he were willing to help, he wouldn't know how to build one."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Hearing his father's words, n Dou nodded repeatedly and said, "You must be looking for my grandfather. He is the expert at constructing buildings out of wood. Unfortunately... he has retired and no longer makes things for people."
"Your grandfather!" At n Dou's words, Xin Yun was flabbergasted. Another grandfather surfaced, and now n Dou didn't build villas? What was going on?
Seeing Xin Yun's astonished look, n Dou's eyes glead as he said, "I tell you, my grandfather was very famous. When it cos to Master n Dou, it's not only about his exquisite craftsmanship but also his formidable power—he was a mighty Athyst-tier master!"
"Wait a minute!" Xin Yun interjected in shock, stopping n Dou mid-sentence, and asked urgently, "What did you say your grandfather's na was? Is it also n Dou?"
"No, no…" Shaking his head vigorously, n Dou replied to Xin Yun's question, "My grandfather's na is n Dou, like the word 'fight,' not the sa as mine. Back in his day, he was also a prestigious..."
Without fully listening to n Dou's excited explanation, Xin Yun's mind instantly cleared up many things. He had only ever heard of a Master n Dou, an odd na that stuck in his mory, so when others ntioned that a building was a work of Master n Dou, he subconsciously assud it was this n Dou. In reality, however, that building was a creation of Master n Dou. The na might sound similar with one as Dou and another as Dou. One specialized in making furniture and art pieces, while the other was skilled in wooden architecture—two completely different matters.
