What a lucky world!

Chapter 136 Someone borrows a knife!

The rain is light and cool.

Qianyuan Mountain is lush and green, as if washed by water.

"Brother Mu has been down the mountain for more than half a month, right?" Lin Jinglong sighed as he looked into the distance.

"Fourteen days, not even half a month." Thirteenth Lady, who was following Lin Jinglong, replied, "According to the rat demon that came up the mountain two days ago, it has now entered Lanling City."

Lin Jinglong nodded: "How did the rat demon arrange it?"

Upon hearing this, Shisanniang replied, "That rat demon is in the early stages of the Moon Eater Realm, just a hair away from breaking through to the middle stage. Plus, he considers himself Mu Ge'er's demon slave, so I can't assign him a position in the village. I'll just let him lead the rat group that Xuan Ji has subdued."

"Well, wait for Brother Mu to come back and make his own arrangements." Lin Jinglong agreed, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Didn't the rat demon say that she had a young and beautiful woman with her?"

"Have you found out who this girl is from?"

Shisanniang also smiled slightly and shook her head: "I collected information about Yongning City. At that time, Mu Ge'er was accompanied by an ordinary boy."

"In the blink of an eye, the person who set out on the road with me has become a beautiful girl."

"They must be the same person."

"From some simple intelligence, we can infer that the girl's skills are quite good, and her family background must be extraordinary."

Lin Jinglong rubbed his chin with a headache: "I hope he is not a child of aristocratic family..."

"So what if he's from an aristocratic family?" Shisanniang curled her lips. "Brother Mu is incredibly talented. It would be perfect for him to kidnap a few daughters of aristocratic families to be his wives in the future!"

Lin Jinglong looked back at Shisan Niang who was watching the fun and didn't mind getting involved, shook his head and said nothing more.

Seeing Lin Jinglong like this, Shisanniang stopped talking about this topic and talked about something else: "What are you going to do with Sha Tongtian's post?"

"If he wants to come and pay his respects, then let him come and pay his respects. Why should I be afraid of him?" Lin Jinglong's eyes suddenly became serious when he heard this.

Shisan Niang shook her head: "Of course we are not afraid of him."

"But I don't think he has any good intentions. He wants to destroy the foundation of our luck!"

Lin Jinglong was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "When the enemy comes, we will stop them with soldiers, and when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

"Hasn't this been the way for decades?"

Shisan Niang hesitated for a moment and said, "Should we use the sword talisman that person left behind..."

As she spoke, Shisanniang made a slight throat-slitting gesture.

Lin Jinglong thought about it and shook his head: "He doesn't deserve it..."

Shisan Niang was silent for a moment and nodded.

……

Lanling City, Tingfeng Courtyard.

Ye Hanzhou continued to practice his swordsmanship in the yard.

Yesterday, I fought with Zhang Mu to sharpen my sword. Although my cultivation level did not improve, my sword intent became more condensed.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

That’s right, he really couldn’t participate in the knife sharpening conference as a member of the Ye family, but he could go as a whetstone.

Who says a whetstone can’t be used to sharpen a knife?

Even if he only wins one game, he can get a lot of rewards, enough to support his next step of practice.

Thinking of this, Ye Hanzhou swung the knife in his hand faster.

Just then, there was a burst of applause from outside the courtyard.

Ye Hanzhou put away his knife and looked outside the door, where he saw three young men in dandy clothes standing at the door with smiles on their faces. The man in the lead looked somewhat like Ye Hanzhou, but he looked a little more noble than Ye Hanzhou.

"Brother, your swordsmanship has improved again. I'm really happy for you." The man said at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Hanzhou's expression was sullen. The leader of the three men was the owner of Fenglin Villa, his second uncle's son, named Ye Hanyu. He was his cousin, and the two men behind him were both Ye Hanyu's brothers-in-law and his lackeys.

His father, Ye Suifeng, had very high standards when he was young. Perhaps out of good intentions, he was extremely strict with his brothers, but to outsiders, it seemed a bit harsh. This was especially true for his second uncle, Ye Suixin, who had almost always lived in Ye Suifeng's shadow. The more obedient he had been to Ye Suifeng before, the more he hated him later.

When Ye Suifeng failed in his attempt to reach the Grandmaster level and his meridians were completely destroyed due to his obsession, Ye Suixin began to take over the status and power that originally belonged to Ye Suifeng. Although on the surface he seemed to be very caring towards his good-for-nothing elder brother, he never stopped suppressing him in private.

If the relationship between the parents is like this, the relationship between the next generation will naturally not be much better.

Fortunately, Ye Hanzhou has poor talent, while Ye Hanyu has excellent talent, so most of the time Ye Hanyu just dislikes Ye Hanzhou and does not target him too much.

As far as Ye Hanzhou could remember, this was the first time someone came to him with a smile on his face.

"What? Brother, don't you want to invite me into the yard and sit for a while?" Ye Hanyu still said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Before Ye Hanzhou could finish his next sentence, the person behind him stepped forward and kicked the gate open.

Ye Hanyu didn't care. He walked in leisurely and looked around naturally until his eyes fell on the couplet, then he paused.

"There are sorrows in front of and behind the mountains, and freedom is lacking whether there is wind or not..." "Although this courtyard is lonely, uncle's calligraphy adds a lot of color to it."

Ye Hanyu said lightly. The person behind him had already spread a fox fur on the stone seat, and Ye Hanyu sat down directly.

Ye Hanzhou was not annoyed, and asked the same question: "What are you doing here?"

Ye Hanyu shook his head. "You and I are blood brothers. I heard that my uncle was messing around in Yaoyue Tower again yesterday and even sent people to beat up my brother, so I came to see him."

As he spoke, Ye Hanyu took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, placed it on the stone table, and said, "I think you know how to use our villa's secret recipe for wind-fixing and muscle-regenerating ointment..."

Ye Hanzhou looked at the medicine bottle, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

It’s Dingfeng Shengji Cream, how could he not know about it?

It is very effective for external injuries below the Yangye realm. Even broken bones and tendons can be recovered in three days at most.

But the original name of this ointment was not this, its original name was Black Jade Intermittent Ointment!
These were the spoils his alcoholic father had obtained twenty years ago when he single-handedly wiped out a force and donated them to the villa after returning.

At the beginning, 70% of the annual profits from this medicine belonged to his eldest son's family.

Later it became 60%, 50%, 30%, 10%...

Until the last three years, not to mention profit sharing, even he, the eldest son in the family, couldn't get even a bottle.

"It's just a minor injury. There's no need for such expensive medicine." Ye Hanzhou said coldly, "If that's all, I thank you for your kindness. I still need to practice with my sword. Please go back!"

"I told you you're fat, and you're panting?" Before Ye Hanyu could say anything, someone behind him pointed at Ye Hanzhou and started cursing, saying, "Brother Yu came to see you out of kindness, and you treat him like this. The eldest branch of the family is really annoying."

"Are you scolding my Ye family?" Ye Hanzhou refused to give in and glared at the other party.

No matter how bad the eldest branch of the Ye family is, they are still descendants of the Ye family!
Hearing this, the other party was also shocked. He looked at Ye Hanyu and saw Ye Hanyu waving his hand: "My cousin speaks his mind, brother, please don't mind."

Ye Hanzhou didn't want to argue with them anymore, and said impatiently: "The knife sharpening meeting is about to begin. Brother Yu, you are the one who shoulders everyone's expectations. Don't waste your time here with me. Please go back..."

"Brother, you are wrong. I came here for the sword sharpening meeting." Ye Hanyu said with a smile, "I want to ask for a favor."

Ye Hanzhou looked at Ye Hanyu warily: "What can I do for you?"

Ye Hanyu sighed, "I've been practicing my sword too hard lately, and my Broken Bee Blade broke while I was sharpening it."

Ye Hanyu stood up, looked at Ye Hanzhou, and said, "I heard that my uncle has a knife called 'Ape Howl'..."

Before Ye Hanyu could finish, Ye Hanzhou interrupted, "The spirit within the Ape Howling Sorrow has perished. It's no longer a spiritual weapon."

"It's just right that it's not a spiritual weapon." Ye Hanyu said with a smile, "It's also a top-grade combat weapon!"

"I'm so brave, I want to obtain this sword and win glory for Fenglin Villa at the sword sharpening competition."

"Please help me, brother."

After saying that, Ye Hanyu bowed to Ye Hanzhou.

Ye Hanzhou frowned, looked at the arrogant Ye Hanyu, and shook his head: "Ape Howl of Sorrow, not for loan!"

"How can you decide this?" The person behind Ye Hanyu spoke again, "Your father is already useless, and you are also a waste. You still occupy Yuan Xiaoai. It's a joke."

Another person chimed in, "That's right. Yu Ge'er should be the one holding this knife, so it's not an insult!"

"Brother Yu, don't worry about it!"

As they were about to rush into the house, Ye Hanzhou blocked the doorway and drew his long sword: "You dare?"

At this time, Ye Hanyu also straightened up, looked at Ye Hanzhou who was blocking the door with his sword, sat down on the fox fur cushion again, and said lightly: "Since my brother wants you to help him sharpen his sword, you should not be polite."

"Just don't break it!"

……

As dusk approached, Zhang Mu stood at the door of the inn and looked up.

"Brother Mu, Old Man Qin won't come so early." Zhuge Nanxian looked at Zhang Mu and reminded him.

"No. I have an appointment with a friend to meet at the inn today." Zhang Mu explained, "Why haven't you come yet?"

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and said, "No, I'm a little worried. I'll go look for him first. Please help me greet the master when he comes."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Nanxian said softly, "Well, don't worry. Go early and come back early. Today, Old Man Qin wants to teach you the Taegeuk Sword Technique. He's a Grandmaster after all, so don't keep him waiting too long."

"Got it." Zhang Mu responded and walked out of the inn...

　Do you think I'm going to cut it?

　　Don't worry, it won't happen. La la la la...

　　My results are really disappointing, I'm making very little, and I've lost a lot of money in the stock market. Last month, I paid another 200,000 yuan in back taxes, leaving me completely depleted. Poverty makes me feel shaky, and I can't afford to promote myself, let alone traffic. Fortunately, I can flexibly switch between my main and side hustles. I recently took on a drama that's worth around a million yuan, which will give me a break and some extra money for milk powder. So, updates may sometimes be late, and I apologize in advance. You can't blame me.

　　Anyway, it won't cut, don't worry...
