God of Pets

Chapter 522 Famous Sword
Chen Guan and Teng Mingli watched the white-robed scholar warily. Judging from the way he had just killed the Taishan Stone Man, he was definitely not as simple as the Four Senses.

In secret realms, sometimes encountering human cultivators is the most terrifying thing.

The white-robed scholar landed not far from the two of them. The sword wrapped in lightning hovered beside him, making his handsome face appear even more refined. His eyes were like stars, his two sword-like eyebrows were delicate yet sharp, and his face was angular but not fierce.

Even with his eyebrows done, Chen Guan couldn't compare to this person's appearance.

Teng Mingli looked at the white-robed scholar, then at Chen Guan. One was gentle and refined, the other was majestic and imposing. For a moment, she couldn't tell who was more handsome.

The scholar in white smiled at the two men and said, "You two are quite handsome. I can offer you two peerless pets as payment. I wonder if you could do me a favor?"

As he spoke, the white-robed scholar summoned two pets, a white horse and a black horse.

However, both the white and black horses had horns like those of a Qilin on their heads, unlike ordinary horses.

"Are these the White Jade Qilin Horse and the Black Jade Qilin Horse?" Chen Guan recognized the origin of the two horses at a glance.

The white jade unicorn horse and the black jade unicorn horse are very famous among pet horses.

Among the people who own these two pets, there is a particularly famous couple, who are known as the two ruthless men nicknamed Black and White Impermanence.

Once someone accepts a job, no one can escape the pursuit of the White Impermanence and Black Impermanence.

Their most famous battle was when they took on a mission to kill the city lord of a certain city in Shang Dynasty. That city was considered a large city in the cave heaven, and the city lord was a well-known expert of the sixth sense. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the city.

Even more bizarrely, the merchant knew in advance that the Black and White Impermanence were coming to kill him and had already made preparations.

However, the two men, Black and White Impermanence, on two horses, still managed to break into the city, overcome the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops, and kill the Shang family's sixth-level expert in his own city, and then escape unscathed.

From then on, the names of Black and White Impermanence and Black and White Qilin Horse spread throughout the land.

Many people were eager to acquire a Qilin horse, and for a time, the value of a Qilin horse even surpassed that of a real Qilin pet.

Even now, the black and white Qilin horse, especially when there is a pair, is still among the most expensive of all rare pets.

The white-robed scholar met Chen Guan and his companions by the water and presented them with a pair of black and white Qilin horses, asking them to help him with something. This was truly bizarre.

“We are just ordinary cultivators who have just reached the fourth level of enlightenment. I’m afraid we can’t be of much help,” Chen Guan said.

“These two black and white Qilin horses are only level 40, which is perfect for you,” the white-robed scholar said. “The task I’m asking you to do is not difficult. You just need to temporarily act as my sword attendants, carry my sword, and accompany me to a certain place.”

"Help me carry the sword?" Chen Guan was even more puzzled, finding it hard to believe that such a good thing could happen. Just by helping him carry a sword, he could get two black and white Qilin horses. Didn't he have hands?

“That’s good. Just hold the sword for me. You don’t need to lift a finger, and I’ll ensure your safety,” the white-robed scholar nodded and said.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "I don't even know who you are, how can you guarantee anything, swear an oath?"

"Are you Bai Xiuyan?" Teng Mingli looked him over for a while before suddenly asking the white-robed scholar.

The scholar in white nodded slightly: "It is I."

Chen Guan was taken aback. He had certainly heard of the name Bai Xiuyan, but he had never paid attention to it.

Although Bai Xiuyan, the famous swordsman, has not yet reached the Great Cave Heaven level, it is no exaggeration to say that he is famous throughout the land.

This person is obsessed with swordsmanship and has a hobby of collecting famous swords. If he hears that someone has a special treasure sword or sword spirit, he will do everything he can to get his hands on it.

However, Bai Xiuyan was not the type to resort to despicable means. He usually bought things at high prices or traded them for something of even greater value that the other party needed. Once, in order to obtain a sword, Bai Xiuyan even served as the sword's owner as a servant for a year, cooking, washing clothes, cleaning toilets, and being ordered around, all of which he endured.

However, Bai Xiuyan was not truly famous for the swords he collected, but for his swordsmanship.

There are countless famous swords in the world, but none of them are worthy of the hands with which Bai Xiuyan wields them.

His self-created sword technique remains undefeated among swords of the same level.

These achievements are all verifiable through actual combat, including battles against powerful figures from the ten major families.

Besides his collection of swords and his mastery of swordsmanship, Bai Xiuyan's unparalleled handsome appearance was also a topic of much discussion. Countless women had secretly swallowed their saliva for Bai Xiuyan, wishing they could break his legs and take him home to raise.

In any case, according to those women, Bai Xiuyan is the only perfect person in the world, and there are even rumors that he is a perfect person for all time.

Outsiders call him a famous swordsman, referring not only to his swordsmanship but also to him as a person.

However, even Bai Xiuyan herself does not agree with this statement.

If someone else said such a thing, it would be impossible to believe.

However, what Bai Xiuyan, the famous swordsman, said was still very credible.

Because Bai Xiuyan, the famous swordsman, was born into a very good family and was used to a life of luxury from a young age, with people always by his side wherever he went.

Bai Xiuyan was always accompanied by three or five beautiful women and young talents, and many noble young men and women were willing to serve him with their swords.

At this moment, there was only Bai Xiuyan. If it weren't for his face, it would be hard to find a second one in the world, making it difficult to believe that he was Bai Xiuyan.

"Where are you going?" Chen Guan asked thoughtfully.

Since it's Bai Xiuyan, he should keep his word. If it's on my way, I might as well temporarily act as his sword attendant.

“Taishan City,” Bai Xiuyan said.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "Isn't this a coincidence? The Heroes' Gathering jointly organized by the ten families is in Taishan City. This is not just on the way, it's practically a direct route."

“We can be your sword attendants, but you have to give us the black and white Qilin horses first,” Chen Guan said.

Even though Bai Xiuyan is a celebrity, she still has to be paid first.

Bai Xiuyan was quite straightforward, immediately giving one of the black and white Qilin horses to Chen Guan and Teng Mingli respectively.

Chen Guan received the Black Jade Qilin Horse, and Teng Mingli received the White Jade Qilin Horse.

After giving the horse, Bai Xiuyan untied the two sheathed longswords from his back and tossed them to Chen Guan and Teng Mingli respectively. He then said, "The swords must not touch the ground or be drawn from their sheaths. You must keep them in your hands until you reach Taishan City."

"Are there any specific posture requirements?" Chen Guan, having received a bribe, was still quite serious about his work.

“Normally it’s fine, but if someone comes, you can just hold it in your hands,” Bai Xiuyan said with a smile.

Chen Guan and Teng Mingli agreed. Bai Xiuyan put away the lightning sword spirit beside him, summoned a scraggly horse, and rode the horse with Chen Guan.
