Chapter 143 Legend of the Sword God
Hongxiu has a pair of affectionate eyes.

Everyone says her round eyes are beautiful, and when she blinks at you, they are full of a variety of emotions, such as generosity, cheerfulness, energy, and encouragement.

Ding'an retorted, "She's affectionate? She looks at dogs with such affection!"

When Ren Hongxiu, known as "the most affectionate woman in the north," looked at Lu Xiaofeng with captivating eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng immediately jumped off the bed, his expression no longer as unrestrained as before.

Ren Shaoyang walked over, picked up a wine jug from the table, gulped it down in one go, wiped his lips, and then laughed, "Good wine!"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Of course it's good wine."

Ren Shaoyang said, "That's right, you only drink good wine."

Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "You can taste the difference when you drink like that?"

"The more wine you drink, the warmer you feel; the more water you drink, the colder you feel," Ren Shaoyang laughed. "I feel warm all over after drinking this, isn't that good wine?"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed heartily and gave a thumbs up: "Anyone who can say something like that is quite something!"

Ding'an also got hungry and reached for another wine pot.

"Um," Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but exclaim, "this looks like my wine."

Ding An paused for a moment, then said, "All my money is with Little Beggar. I have no money."

Lu Xiaofeng turned to look at Hongxiu.

Hongxiu patted the purse at her waist with a grin and said, "The money for the cripple and the one-handed man is all here. I'm the housekeeper."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, puzzled: "Crippled, one-handed, little beggar, these are really strange terms of address."

Ren Shaoyang laughed: "Our first encounter was quite tragic. I broke my leg, he had his hand chopped off, and she was sleeping with a pig."

“You guys are really pitiful,” Lu Xiaofeng said seriously.

He suddenly became interested in and even developed a liking for these three people.

So he turned to Ding'an and said, "Brother, this drink is on me, it's free!"

Ding'an had already finished his drink in gulps. Hearing him speak, he hiccuped and chuckled, "Okay, you're a good guy. Consider it a drink I owe you, I'll pay you back later."

Lu Xiaofeng remained noncommittal and then looked at Ren Shaoyang.

He knew that this young man in white robes was the key figure among the three.

"Haven't you asked yet?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "My name is Ren Shaoyang, his name is Li Ding'an, and the other one was just introduced, Ren Hongxiu."

"Brother Ren, may I ask what brings you here to see me?"

Ren Shaoyang said calmly, "To be honest, I'm looking for you because I'm looking for someone."

Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "Looking for someone?"

"Correct!"

"Who are you looking for?"

Ren Shaoyang pointed at the proprietress: "Her husband."

At this moment, the proprietress said, "What brings you three young masters to my husband?"

Ren Shaoyang patted Ding An's shoulder, whose face was slightly flushed and who was grinning incessantly: "Make him a prosthetic hand."

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback: "Just for this?"

Ren Shaoyang nodded: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"But Old Zhu has a big reputation, why don't you ask around and find out?"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and asked, "Is his reputation bigger or yours?"

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "I'm still the older one."

"Isn't that settled?" Ren Shaoyang clapped his hands and laughed. "The three of us siblings came here out of nowhere, completely clueless. Of course, we need to find the most reputable and best person to guide us. Of course, it would be even better if that person were a close friend of Boss Zhu."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed heartily: "Indeed! This can only be me!"

“Lu Xiaofeng, when Young Master Ren sees me,” the proprietress laughed, “it can’t just be you.”

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback, then slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Sigh, I have nothing to say."

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Please lend Madam for a moment."

Lu Xiaofeng waved his hands repeatedly: "That's Old Zhu's wife, not mine!"

Ren Shaoyang gestured to the proprietress, "Please lead the way, madam."

The proprietress smiled, turned and walked towards the door, swaying gracefully in the breeze, her waistline extending to her hips and forming an exaggeratedly perfect curve.

It twisted and turned in front of them, and walked forward.

Ding'an stared in disbelief.

Snapped!
Hongxiu slapped him on the back of the head: "Still looking?"

She skipped and hopped after her, took the proprietress's hand, and soon their silvery laughter rang out.

Ding'an stumbled from the slap, rubbed his head, gave the little beggar a resentful look, and quickly followed.

Ren Shaoyang smiled at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Congratulations."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, puzzled, "What is there to congratulate me on?"

"You're about to have some luck with women."

"Peach blossoms?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up suddenly. "A beautiful woman?"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "She was frightened by the little beggar outside the door. She'll come in to find you after we leave." With that, he turned and left.

Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed: "Hey, are you serious?"

Ren Shaoyang didn't say anything, he just waved his hand.
-
Zhu Ting doesn't do business, nor does he have the capital to do so, but his nickname is "Boss".

Zhu Ting, the "Miracle Boss"!
This person knows how to enjoy life and has a very easygoing attitude towards everything.

His wife hangs out with her best buddies every day, so of course he's okay with it.

This person seems to have never done anything worthwhile in his life.

Yet he lived in the most comfortable house, wore the most exquisite clothes, drank the best wine, and married a very beautiful landlady.

Therefore, the comfort of his life made Zhu Ting feel like he had been nourished by a magic potion from the little green bottle in Han Tianzun's hand, and his body swelled up rapidly.

Look, chubby people who smile a lot look like they have good fortune, and people with smiling faces can be bosses.

That's why many people call him Boss, the Master Boss.

Ren Shaoyang sought him out for the sake of this pair of unique and skillful hands in the martial arts world.

The door is not closed.

Ren Shaoyang and his two companions followed the proprietress straight into the lobby.

Then they saw Zhu Ting leisurely lying on a recliner in the courtyard.

The little beggar laughed and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen a mountain lying on a chair." With that, he ran over there.

He gestured with his hand to Zhu Ting's bulging belly, then to the top of his own head, and said with a smile, "He's taller than me even when he's lying down!"

Ding An was somewhat uneasy and hesitantly said to Ren Shaoyang, "Crippled man, is this person really as powerful as rumored? Don't let the finished product be a huge disappointment and waste the precious divine spider silk."

The proprietress glared at him and exclaimed, "My man's hands are the best in the world; he will never disappoint!"

Sure enough, even though the landlady had countless grievances against Zhu Ting, she still completely defended her husband.

Ding An scratched his head, bowed, and apologized, "I'm sorry, madam, I shouldn't have said that about your husband."

The proprietress was taken aback, not expecting this person to be so easy to talk to. She opened her mouth, but finally said, "My lord, the master's skills are absolutely no problem, you can rest assured."

Ren Shaoyang patted him on the shoulder: "Ding'an, you are usually the most stable person, but you have changed so much these days. Are you still worried about gains and losses?"

Ding An thought for a moment, then said somewhat dejectedly, "I'm a bit confused."

Ren Shaoyang said gently, "Don't rush, let's take it slowly." After saying that, he walked straight to Zhu Ting's side.

Amidst the commotion, Zhu Ting remained lying still, as if she hadn't seen anything.

Ren Shaoyang said, "Boss Zhu, I'd like you to make a prosthetic arm for my brother." Zhu Ting asked, "What kind do you want?"

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What kind of things can you make?"

Zhu Ting said calmly, "I've made quite a few of these kinds of machines, some made of bronze, some of iron, and some of gold and silver. After all, when you're out traveling the martial arts world, it's easy to lose an arm or a leg."

Ren Shaoyang pointed to Ding An and said, "Make a wooden one for my brother."

Zhu Ting was taken aback, then said with a bitter face, "What's the difference between this kind and children's toys? It's so boring."

"No fun?" At this moment, Hongxiu popped her head out, her eyes darting around, and said, "We don't need you to design it, we'll design it ourselves!"

The little beggar chuckled and added, "Definitely better than yours."

Zhu Ting said indifferently, "Bullshit!"

Hongxiu pinched her nose and fanned herself wildly with one hand, exclaiming, "It stinks! It stinks!"

Zhu Ting laughed and said, "Miss, are you trying to provoke me? I'm a big scoundrel, I don't fall for that."

Hongxiu asked, "What does this provocation have to do with being a big jerk?"

Zhu Ting smiled and said leisurely, "Of course you wouldn't understand what that big jerk did, you're not a big jerk."

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "You really are a bastard. Well then, how about we take a look at the design drawings I got from another bastard?" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Zhu Ting remained lying down, lazily stretching out her hand, lazily opening her eyes, as if she were about to lazily close them again.

"what?!"

Suddenly, Zhu Ting stood up abruptly, the chair creaking under his massive body. He asked in surprise, "Where did you get these blueprints?"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "A smart person helped me design it."

Hongxiu put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Isn't it better than your design, you big jerk?"

Zhu Ting stood up abruptly, looking at the design draft in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "I can't believe it, I can't believe it! There really is someone in this world who is so extraordinary in mathematics and the study of things?"

He carefully put the manuscript away, then looked at Ren Shaoyang: "Where is the person who designed this drawing?"

Ren Shaoyang said, "I'm no longer in this world."

"died?!"

Ren Shaoyang's expression was complicated: "According to the standards of this world, that should be the case."

Zhu Ting's face was filled with sorrow: "Heaven is jealous of talent, heaven is jealous of talent!"

At this point, Ding An finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to ask, "Boss Zhu, does the design need to be revised?"

"Modify?" Zhu Ting waved his hand and sighed, "This design seems simple, but it is actually the essence of simplicity. Take this as the foundation, and you can upgrade it infinitely or add to it infinitely."

He said leisurely, "Even if it is damaged, there is no need to worry. As long as the parts are there, a new prosthetic hand can be replaced or assembled at any time. Such a design truly takes simplicity and practicality to the extreme."

"I am not as good as him."

Ding An became increasingly pleased as he listened, and quickly asked, "Boss Zhu, how long will it take to finish?"

Zhu Ting said, "I need to prepare some materials, which will take about three days."

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, we'll come over in three days."

Ding An said, "Thank you very much, Boss Zhu!"

Zhu Ting didn't look at them, but waved his hand and kept staring at the blueprints in his hand.

The three of them exchanged glances, shrugged, and turned to leave.

Lu Xiaofeng is someone who hates getting into trouble, but despite his fear, he still can't resist meddling in other people's business.

That's why a huge problem came his way.

She was an exceptionally beautiful woman, and a princess at that.

Princess Danfeng.

When Lu Xiaofeng heard Ren Shaoyang say that a beautiful woman had come to see him, he was quite excited. But as soon as they met, he immediately ran away, because he knew this was definitely going to be a huge problem!
So he ran out of the town and into a dense jujube grove.

There was a lonely, dilapidated wooden house in the jujube grove.

Pushing open the door, the house, though old, was very clean and surprisingly well-decorated.

There was a person sitting in the room, a short, thin old man.

When Lu Xiaofeng came in, the old man was drinking, looking gloomy and dejected.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng walk in, the old man showed no surprise, and didn't even bother to greet him.

Seeing his dejected look, Huo Xiu frowned and asked, "What's making you so anxious?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing, just a woman came to my house."

Huo Xiu laughed: "Women are like a never-ending stream around you, but I've never seen you run away from them?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "This time is different."

"Why is it different?"

"It's hard to judge, it's just that kind of special." Lu Xiaofeng pouted. "You know what I mean."

"I don't know anything!" Huo Xiu said sullenly as he drank.

"Hey~?" Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have discovered something significant, and leaned over to ask, "Old Huo, why do you look like that? You look like you've been robbed?"

Huo Xiu looked up in surprise: "You can tell fortunes?"

"How would I know how to calculate that?" Lu Xiaofeng laughed heartily. "You really got robbed?"

Huo Xiu finally let out a long sigh and nodded, "Yes, it was taken by three people."

"three people?"

For no apparent reason, Lu Xiaofeng thought of Ren Shaoyang and the other two, and continued to ask, "Three people dare to rob you, the 'richest man in the world'?"

“Three people, that’s quite a lot.” Huo Xiu narrowed his eyes and said leisurely, “Lu Xiaofeng, have you ever heard of the legend of the ‘Three High-Ranking Swordsmen’?”

"The Three High-Ranking Swordsmen?" Lu Xiaofeng thought for a moment, but still shook his head. "They sound familiar. I feel like I've heard of them somewhere before."

"Hehe, all the glory days are swept away by the winds and rains." Huo Xiu smiled and said slowly, "The peerless masters who once dominated the world are now known to very few."

Lu Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "I'm not an omniscient person either; it's impossible for me to know everything about all my old friends."

Huo Xiu chuckled, "That's true." He poured himself a glass of wine and began to sip it slowly.

"Hey~!" Lu Xiaofeng slammed his hand on the table. "Old Huo, stop keeping me in suspense! Tell me, who exactly are these 'Three High-Ranking Swordsmen'?"

"You, you're always in such a hurry."

Huo Xiu chuckled, slowly put down his cup, and then said, "Lu Xiaofeng, let me ask you, what do you think is the most powerful sword in the martial arts world?"

"The swords of Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng?"

Huo Xiu poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp: "They are good, but there is still a gap."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned: "The swords of Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan from fifty years ago?"

Huo Xiu laughed and said, "The two of them are not much different from Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, so they can't be considered the pinnacle."

Lu Xiaofeng then named a few more people: "The Flying Swordsman? Jing Wuming? Guo Songyang?"

"Extremely powerful, but only at the peak of its power, far from being the ultimate!"

Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath: "Where are Yan Nantian, Shen Lang, and Tie Zhongtang?"

Huo Xiu said quietly, "Second only to one person, above ten thousand others!"

"What kind of sword is this, so powerful?" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't hold back any longer, slamming his hand on the table and standing up. "If you don't explain yourself, I'll smash all your wine!"

Huo Xiu stopped talking, then poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

After a long pause, he widened his eyes and chuckled, "At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, the world is at its most competitive; once the dragon is captured, all swords will submit!"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed, and he murmured, "You mean, the number one divine weapon in the weapon rankings, 'Divine Sword Capturing Dragon'?"

“That’s right!” Huo Xiu said with a wistful look, his voice rising involuntarily: “And the master of the divine sword is the pinnacle of swordsmen over thousands of years, and also the leader of the ‘Three High Heroes’.”

"The White-Clad Sword God!"
