Objectively speaking, Qin Sisi can understand Shuo Yu's feelings; being closed in his own world for too long, it won't be easy for him to come out, but if one has the will to do difficult things, they should also have the courage to try.
Qin Sisi suddenly shifted the topic: "Do you still remember the first piece you forged?"
Shuo Yu was stunned for a moment, and after seriously recalling for a while, he said, "I remember, it was a longsword."
Beginners practicing forging usually start with longswords as their shape is simple and not highly demanding technically, but the blade is straight, which tests one's temperament during the process of shaping.
Qin Sisi nodded and smiled as she asked: "Was that longsword as exquisite, finely crafted, sharp as ever, cutting gold like jade, and slicing iron like mud, just like your current works?"
