Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Su Jinyan sighed: "I rarely pay attention to these things."

"But since you know him, let's go say hello."

Did you know that standing before you is Yan Qing, the youngest valiant guard in the history of the Cloud Cavalry, General Jing Yuan's bodyguard, a great collector of precious swords from the Craftsmen's Office, and a genius boy praised as having "sword-like talent and martial prowess"?

General Jing Yuan of the Shence Army devoted tremendous effort to cultivating Yan Qing, but excessive rigidity leads to breakage, and excessive benefit to ruin.

A fine sword needs not only a sharp edge, but also a scabbard to restrain that edge. In Jingyuan's view, Yanqing has grown very quickly, faster than expected.

As Yanqing's skills became increasingly refined, making him a warrior rarely matched on the Luofu Immortal Ship, Jingyuan gradually began to consider how to temper Yanqing's brilliance, giving him trials of defeat without breaking him.

If you can make Yanqing taste the bitterness of setbacks, perhaps you will earn General Shence's gratitude.

At this moment, the genius boy named "Yanqing" was caught in a dilemma.

As a spirited and valiant Cloud Cavalry Guard of Luofu, Yanqing had no other hobbies but to live and die for the sword.

His love for swords was like a child's love for toys, which he would buy endlessly.

He spared no expense to purchase most of the swords produced by the Imperial Workshop.

Just this month, the Craftsmanship Department released dozens of new, high-quality swords.

Yanqing immediately took a liking to two of them.

Moreover, the two new swords he had his eye on were the best quality and the most expensive among them.

"Master Gongshu, can't you be a little more accommodating and offer a discount?" Yanqing pleaded.

Master Gongshu snorted: "Hmph, I've already said it won't work."

“Young friend Yanqing is also a long-time customer of our manufacturing company.”

"If you take a fancy to another sword, I'll sell it to you cheaply, or even buy one get one free."

"But these two swords are extraordinary. Look at this Flying Rainbow Flowing Light. It is forged from the coral gold of the Lin Yuan Mirror and tempered by the Xuanquan Spring. It can fight normally in all kinds of extreme environments."

"Look at this one, this is the Shadow Sword personally trained by Lord Hyakuji, which draws upon the Golden Essence from beyond the heavens, its sword light is awe-inspiring."

"Moreover, it is also connected to the latest flying shuttle, which connects to divine sense, and it moves through the air with a whooshing whooshing whooshing whooshing whooshing."

"Swords of such high quality, haggling over the price would be a desecration!"

Yanqing frowned. Master Gongshu was right; haggling was undoubtedly a desecration of them.

He loved both swords very much and couldn't bear to part with them.

But if he buys them all, he'll be broke again this month.

"Master Gongshu, how much are these two swords?"

Su Jinyan stepped forward and asked with interest.

Chapter 18 Why can't I control my mouth?

Yanqing glanced at him warily. Was this guy here to try and steal his sword?

However, I doubt he has that many merit points...

Master Gongshu said in a muffled voice, "It's not expensive. The Flying Rainbow Flowing Light requires two million credits and five hundred merit points to purchase."

"The price of the Shadow Sword is three million credits and five hundred merit points."

Su Jinyan: "Merit points?"

Tingyun chuckled and explained, "My benefactor is unaware of this."

"Generally speaking, if a public official wants to purchase rare items at Louvre Six, he will ask others for assistance."

"Or you can go to the Pill Refining Department to borrow advanced pill formulas or purchase high-grade pills. In addition to credit points, you can't do without merit points."

"As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the Six Departments, you can get merit points."

"In addition, outstanding performance will also be rewarded with merit points."

"By the way, although I have worked at the Tianbo Bureau for many years, my merit points are far less than those of Yanqing."

Yanqing said with slight dissatisfaction, "Miss Tingyun, I am no longer a child."

Su Jinyan stroked his chin thoughtfully: "I see, Brother Yanqing, I understand now."

"You urgently need these two swords, but you're short on money."

"We can't buy them all, can we?"

Yanqing asked in confusion, "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"

Su Jinyan laughed loudly, "You've come to the right person."

"That's right, I am Su Jinyan, the embodiment of handsomeness and wisdom, heroism and chivalry."

A poem praises him: "He leaped on horseback, slaying generals amidst a sea of ​​men; bestowed with a marquis's seal and gold, he still selflessly proclaimed himself a marquis. He brandished his sword, bowed to Su Shi, and left; his noble character as a national hero will be admired for all time."

Master Gongshu: "..."

Yanqing: "..."

Tingyun whispered a reminder: "My benefactor, could you please not write poems that sound like they were copied next time?"

Su Jinyan remained expressionless: "That's not important. What's important is, Yanqing, do you want to buy these two swords?"

Yanqing nodded vigorously: "Yes, I really want to."

Su Jinyan held out her hand to him: "Give me your jade tablet."

Yanqing looked at Tingyun with a puzzled expression.

Only after Tingyun nodded did Yanqing feel relieved enough to hand the phone to Su Jinyan.

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

Su Jinyan took the phone, operated it for a while, and then handed it back to Yanqing.

Not long after, a sweet female voice rang out on the phone: "Star Peace account has received 5 million points."

Yanqing was shocked: "Big brother, five million credits? Where did that money come from?"

Su Jinyan patted his shoulder with a faint smile:

"Be good to yourself, don't mistreat yourself. This is a credit loan that your older brother applied for for you."

Yan Qing: “???”

"Hey, you dare to fool Yanqing? Do you dare to test the sharpness of my sword?"

Yanqing's face was furious. In an instant, he divided his attention and controlled six flying swords, all of which were locked onto Su Jinyan.

Despite Yanqing's gentle and polite demeanor, he was a prodigy who displayed exceptional talent from a young age, reaching the level of [Sword Embryo Martial Bone] in swordsmanship even in his childhood.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was arrogant and impetuous in his youth.

I'm destined to become the future Sword Master, and you're pulling this credit loan stunt on me?

Master Gongshu's eyelids twitched, and he immediately puffed out his beard and glared, saying:

"Oh, oh, oh, young friend Yanqing, you absolutely mustn't!"

"If you want to fight, you can't do it in our factory."

"If you ruin my hard work, I might have to complain to the general."

Tingyun gently waved her folding fan, a smile in her beautiful eyes, and did not stop Yanqing.

Young people are all concerned about saving face.

Master Gongshu has already intervened to dissuade them.

If she were to try to dissuade him at this point, it might embarrass Yanqing, making him lose face and escalating the situation.

"Hmph." Yanqing snorted and gave up.

If it weren't for Master Gongshu's strong opposition, Yanqing would definitely have let this guy taste the power of the Sword Control Technique.

Su Jinyan smiled faintly and said, "Little brother Yanqing, I was just joking with you, don't get so angry."

"It's good that young people are full of energy, but they shouldn't always be thinking about fighting and killing."

"How can someone with such a mindset become a future sword master?"

Yan Qing lightly stroked the blade of his sword and said coldly, "Stop with the empty words. Since you provoked me first, do you dare to come to the martial arts arena and have a match with me?"

Su Jinyan said gently, "Of course, but since it's a competition, there has to be an extra prize."

"I think it would be better if we held a contest until one side conceded defeat first."

"If you lose, you must respectfully call me 'teacher'."

"If I lose, you will not only receive my apology."

"Furthermore, I will cover all your expenses at the Manufacturing Company today, how about that?"

Yanqing agreed without hesitation, because in his view, he had no chance of losing.
