251 Shiba.

Valerian was surprised when the old man refused to even look at the sword let alone repair it and asked, "Teacher, what should I tell the customer outside?" 

Master Fern did not raise his head and said, "Go out there, and repeat my words, exactly the way I told you to." 

Valerian nodded with some hesitation and walked out to deal with the customers. He told the same words as the old man did, and the sword owner said, "It has been ages, but still this old man is not willing to bend. I do not understand what can ever help him get over the feud." 

That said, the young man did not wait for long before he collected his sword and left the place while ranting to his friends. Valerian was surprised, but he did not know if it was right to probe into this matter or not. His head was occupied with his practice of forming a mana barrier. and this matter smelled troublesome.
