Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Zhang Jianyun bought some tea at the tea shop and then went to Yang Changping's house.

"Jianyun, when did you come to the city?" Yang Changping was delighted to see Zhang Jianyun.

"I just arrived this afternoon."

After the two chatted warmly for a while, Yang Changping asked, "What business do you have in the city this time?"

"I am dissatisfied with Brother Yang. I have come here today to ask for your help," Zhang Jianyun said.

"What are you saying? Don't ask for anything. If you need anything from me, just let me know," Yang Changping said with a hearty laugh.

Zhang Jianyun organized his thoughts: "Brother, I urgently need some money, so I'd like to sell my Neon Cat. Brother, could you help me make a connection?"

"You have a Neon Cat?" Yang Changping was a little surprised, after all, Neon Cats are something that are very hard to come by.

Zhang Jianyun nodded. "I obtained one by chance."

Yang Changping thought for a moment and said, "I do know a wealthy businessman in the city whose daughter loves to keep all sorts of pets. However, these neon cats are extremely expensive. I wonder if he would be willing to buy one for his daughter."

"Alright, you wait here while I go pay a visit to that wealthy businessman."

"Thank you for your help, brother," Zhang Jianyun said gratefully.

"Don't be so polite with me." Yang Changping smiled and got up to leave.

About half an hour later, Yang Changping arrived with an obese middle-aged man, followed by a beautiful young girl.

"Where is Neon Cat?" the girl asked as soon as she saw Zhang Jianyun.

"Jianyun, this is Hu Shuyin, Mr. Hu's daughter. She wants to see your Neon Cat," Yang Changping introduced.

"Okay, just a moment." Zhang Jianyun said, opening a bag to reveal Neon Cat.

"Wow, what an adorable and beautiful neon cat!" Hu Shuyin's eyes lit up as she looked at the neon cat, then she walked over and picked it up.

"What's the cat's name?" Hu Shuyin asked.

"I only got it recently, and I haven't named it yet," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Can I name it?" Hu Shuyin asked expectantly.

"Of course you can. As long as you buy it, you can name it whatever you want," Zhang Jianyun tempted.

"Dad, buy it for me quickly! I love this neon cat so much!" Hu Shuyin shouted to the wealthy businessman Hu Donglai.

"Let me see this cat." Hu Donglai wanted to confirm if it was really a Neon Cat.

After stroking its fur for a while to confirm that it was indeed a neon cat, Hu Donglai asked with a smile, "I'll buy this neon cat. How much do you want for it?"

Zhang Jianyun thought for a moment and said, "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver."

"It's a bit more expensive than the market price." Hu Donglai frowned slightly.

"Dad, I love this neon cat." Hu Shuyin said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, I'll buy it, okay?" Hu Donglai said indulgently.

"Thank you, Dad." Hu Shuyin was overjoyed.

"Then you all wait here for a moment, I'll go back and get the silver notes," Hu Dong said, turning and leaving.

With the deal finalized, Zhang Jianyun finally felt relieved.

"Kitty, from now on I'll call you Little Red." Hu Shuyin said, stroking the cat's head.

"Meow." The neon cat seemed to have accepted a name.

Before long, Hu Donglai returned with 250,000 taels of silver notes.

"Here you go, all the banknotes are here. Please check them." Hu Donglai handed all the banknotes to Zhang Jianyun.

Zhang Jianyun counted them and then said to Hu Shuyin, "From now on, Neon Cat is yours."

"Thank you, thank you." Hu Shuyin was overjoyed and hugged the Neon Cat tightly in her arms.

After Hu Donglai and his daughter left, Zhang Jianyun took out a 10,000 tael silver note and handed it to Yang Changping.

"What are you doing?" Yang Changping asked, his face showing some displeasure.

"Brother, don't be angry. You've done me a huge favor and saved me a lot of time. This is a small token of my appreciation. I'd feel bad if you didn't accept it," Zhang Jianyun said sincerely.

"You're being too polite with me. It's just a small favor. You should put the silver notes away." Yang Changping said cheerfully.

"It's just a small amount of money, why are you refusing to tell me, brother?" Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

Seeing Zhang Jianyun's shameless behavior, Yang Changping felt that if he didn't take the money, Zhang Jianyun probably wouldn't leave today.

"Alright, alright, I'll take the money. And from now on, don't come to me for help anymore," Yang Changping said jokingly.

"I'll definitely have to trouble you a lot in the future, haha."

Afterwards, Yang Changping arranged a few side dishes and had a few drinks with Zhang Jianyun.

Back at the inn, Zhang Jianyun was slightly drunk and fell into a deep sleep, clutching 24 taels of silver notes.

As soon as it was light, Yuan Xiaoyin knocked on his door.

"Great hero, it's time to head out."

Upon hearing Yuan Xiaoyin's knock on the door, Zhang Jianyun immediately sat up.

"Coming, wait a minute."

"Get up slowly, I'm going to have breakfast first," Yuan Xiaoyin said.

After quickly getting dressed and washing up, they went to the inn lobby, had a quick breakfast, and then set off with Yuan Xiaoyin to Houhai City.

On the other hand, Tu Qiqi, along with Niu Weiwu and Chan Feifei, traveled through the night and arrived at Houhai City in the middle of the night.

After arriving in Houhai City, Tu Qiqi instructed Chan Feifei to steal 20 taels of silver from a shop, and then waited outside the Zhu residence.

As soon as it was light, Tu Qiqi went alone and knocked on the gate of the Zhu mansion with 20 taels of silver notes.

"Who's knocking on the door so early in the morning?" a servant of the Zhu family said angrily, then opened the door wide and saw Tu Qiqi disguised as a human.

"Who are you?" a servant from the Zhu family asked rudely.

"My name is Tu Banshan, and I have come to see Zhu Chiyu," Tu Qiqi said politely.

"Tu Banshan? Never heard of that name before," a servant of the Zhu family said with some disdain.

"Go and inform Zhu Chiyu that an old friend has come to visit," Rabbit Seven said confidently.

Looking at Tu Qiqi with suspicion, the servant of the Zhu family said, "Wait here, I'll go and report to the master."

At this moment, Zhu Chiyu was practicing his sword in the back garden. The servants waited until he finished practicing before informing Tu Banshan that he wanted to see him.

"Tu Banshan? An old friend of mine? No recollection, no need to bother with him." Zhu Chiyu said, taking a sip of tea to regulate his breathing before continuing his sword practice.

Rabbit Seven-Seven waited outside the door for a long time, and seeing that other people had entered the Zhu residence, she gritted her teeth and jumped into the Zhu residence.

"Who?"

As soon as Rabbit Seven-Seven jumped into the Zhu residence, she was surrounded by several servants of the Zhu family.

"I am an old friend of Zhu Chiyu, and I have come to pay a visit," said Tu Qiqi calmly.

"You're lying. The master doesn't know you at all." The servant who opened the door when Rabbit Seven-Seven knocked earlier directly exposed Rabbit Seven-Seven's lie.

call out!

Rabbit Seven-Seven raised her hand and unleashed a beam of crystalline energy, sending the speaking servant flying. The rest of the servants immediately fell silent.

Rabbit Seven-Seven took a step forward, and the servants surrounding him instantly scattered.

Upon entering the Zhu family's living room, Tu Qiqi sat down directly in a seat next to the head of the table.

The servants carried the injured servant away while reporting to Zhu Chiyu.

Zhu Chiyu entered the living room with an icy expression, looked at Tu Qiqi, and indeed did not recognize her.

"Who are you? Why did you injure my servants without cause?" Zhu Chiyu asked coldly.

"Master Zhu, I am Tu Banshan. I've come here to buy something from you," Tu Qiqi said directly.

"How can you be so rude when buying things?" Zhu Chiyu said with dissatisfaction.

"Then I'll apologize to Master Zhu here. I'll cover all the medical expenses for that servant," said Rabbit Seven.

"Hmph!" Sensing that Tu Qiqi was no ordinary person, Zhu Chiyu stopped talking to the servants and went straight to sit down in the main seat.

"What do you want to buy from me?"
