Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"I want to buy the divine pearl you have," Rabbit Seven said directly.

Zhu Chiyu looked at Tu Qiqi, looking somewhat angry.

"Please go ahead, I won't sell the divine pearl."

"Master Zhu, as long as the price is right, there's nothing I can't sell," Rabbit Seven said confidently.

"I won't sell the Divine Pearl no matter how much money you offer. Please leave; you are not welcome here," Zhu Chiyu said coldly.

"Master Zhu, you can't keep the Divine Pearl," said Rabbit Seven.

Hearing this, Zhu Chiyu became even angrier. "What, are you threatening me?"

"Why would I threaten you? It's just that the Divine Pearl is of no use to you, so why not sell it to me?" Rabbit Seven said.

Zhu Chiyu sneered, "The Divine Pearl is useless in my hands, but it's useful in yours?"

"Of course, my lord is the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang and possesses the Wind God Sword, so of course he can use the Divine Pearl," Rabbit Seven-Seven said.

"Hmph, the divine pearl has ornamental value, and seeing it every day puts me in a good mood. I will not sell it to you, so don't say anything more," Zhu Chiyu said firmly.

"Are you determined to be an enemy of my Ten Thousand Beasts Gang?" Rabbit Seven-Seven's face turned cold.

"So what if we become enemies with your Ten Thousand Beasts Gang?" Zhu Chiyu said disdainfully.

Rabbit Seven-Seven resisted the urge to slap Zhu Chiyu. "Then you'd better keep a close eye on your divine pearl and be careful when walking at night."

After saying that, Rabbit Seven got up and walked out.

"I don't need your concern. I'll take good care of my divine pearl," Zhu Chiyu sneered.

As soon as they stepped out of the Zhu residence, Niu Weiwu and Chan Feifei approached them.

"How did it go? Did you manage to buy the Divine Pearl?" Chan Feifei asked expectantly.

"No, that guy won't sell." Rabbit Seven-Seven shook her head.

"What should we do then? Zhang Jianyun will probably arrive soon," Chan Feifei said.

"If Zhu Chiyu won't sell it to us, will he sell it to Zhang Jianyun?" Tu Qiqi said.

"So what do we do next?" Niu Weiwu asked.

Rabbit Qiqi rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Cicada Feifei, shrink down and fly inside to see if you can steal the Divine Pearl."

"I told you I'd never be a thief again," Chan Feifei said, dissatisfied.

Rabbit Qiqi and Ox Weiwu persuaded Chan Feifei, promising to take her to the prefecture for a visit after stealing the divine pearl.

"This is the last time! I will never be a thief again!" Chan Feifei said angrily.

Then, finding a secluded spot, it shrank in size and flew into the Zhu residence.

Zhang Jianyun led Yuan Xiaoyin on a hurried journey and finally arrived at Houhai City in the afternoon.

"Let's find a place to eat first, and then go to the Zhu residence," Zhang Jianyun said. After all, he had only eaten some dry rations on the way, and he needed to take good care of Yuan Xiaoyin first so that she would be more willing to help him later.

After having a meal at a restaurant, Zhang Jianyun took Yuan Tianyin to the Zhu residence.

"Zhang Jianyun is here. I can smell his presence."

In a teahouse outside the Zhu residence, Rabbit Seven-Seven suddenly spoke.

"What should we do? Should we stop him from going to the Zhu residence?" Niu Weiwu asked anxiously.

"No need, I want to see if he can buy the Divine Pearl from Zhu Chiyu," Rabbit Seven said calmly.

"What if he manages to buy it?" Chan Feifei asked.

"That's perfect, we'll just snatch it from him," Rabbit Seven said coldly.

Zhang Jianyun and Yuan Xiaoyin arrived outside the Zhu residence. Yuan Xiaoyin raised her hand and knocked on the door. Soon after, the gate of the Zhu residence opened.

"Miss Yuan?" The servant who opened the door recognized Yuan Xiaoyin and then hurriedly opened the door completely.

"Is Uncle Zhu at the mansion?" Yuan Xiaoyin asked.

"Yes, yes," the servant nodded.

"It's good that you're here. Could you please lead our horse to the stable and feed it some fodder and water?" Yuan Xiaoyin said.

"Alright." The servant bowed and scraped as he took the reins from Zhang and Yuan.

Zhang Jianyun and Yuan Xiaoyin entered the living room, led by another servant, and sat down on the left side.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. We'll go and fetch the master right away." After the servant instructed the maid to pour tea for the two men, he went to invite Zhu Chiyu.

Before long, Zhu Chiyu entered the living room, laughing heartily.

"Little Yin, Uncle Zhu said he'd come to visit you in Chundao City sometime, but I didn't expect you to come here instead, haha."

"Uncle Zhu, I missed you and Sister Yan'er, so I came to see you," Yuan Xiaoyin said, her eyes sparkling.

"I've already sent a servant to fetch Yan'er; she's checking the accounts at the shop right now," Zhu Chiyu said.

"Someone, make the arrangements for me to prepare a whole roasted lamb. I'm treating Xiao Yin to a whole roasted lamb today."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu." Yuan Xiaoyin was very happy.

"Who is this?" Zhu Chiyu asked Yuan Xiaoyin after looking at Zhang Jianyun.

"Uncle, this is the person I'm currently dating." Yuan Xiaoyin said, winking at Zhang Jianyun, signaling him to follow her lead and lie along with her.

"Huh? Xiao Yin, when did you start dating?" Zhu Chiyu seemed a little surprised.

"We just talked about it not long ago, so I brought her over for you to give your opinion, Uncle," Yuan Xiaoyin said shyly.

"Haha, I'll have your sister Yan'er give you her opinion later," Zhu Chiyu said happily.

Seeing Yuan Xiaoyin and Zhu Chiyu chatting happily, Zhang Jianyun would occasionally chime in with a few words, but he never mentioned buying the Divine Pearl.

The main point is that he and Yuan Xiaoyin have reached a tacit understanding, and Yuan Xiaoyin will find the right opportunity to propose to Zhu Chiyu that he buy the Divine Pearl, which should be done appropriately.

"Where is my nephew working now?" Zhu Chiyu asked.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jianyun replied truthfully, "I am currently working for the Nine Star Guard."

"Nine Star Guard? That's good. Which part of the Nine Star Guard do you work for?" Zhu Chiyu asked.

"I work at the Cangxi Pavilion of the Nine Star Guards," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Cangxi Pavilion, that's in Kaiyang City, not far from Xiaoyin's Chundao City," Zhu Chiyu laughed. "Xiaoyin, you're amazing, you found a Nine-Star Guardian."

Yuan Xiaoyin was unaware that Zhang Jianyun was a member of the Nine Star Guard and was somewhat surprised: "I don't care about his identity; I just like him as a person."

"Hey, how old are you? Do you even know what kind of person is worth liking?"

At this moment, Zhu Chiyu's daughter, Zhu Xuanyan, walked in.

"Sister Yan'er, I miss you so much." Yuan Xiaoyin stood up abruptly and opened her arms to hug Zhu Xuanyan.

"I miss you too." Zhu Xuanyan hugged Yuan Xiaoyin tightly.

The two hugged and talked for a while before separating.

"Boy, you're just a lowly soldier from Cangxi Pavilion. To be honest, you're not good enough for my little silver." Zhu Xuanyan immediately put Zhang Jianyun down as soon as she sat down.

"You should know that I, Uncle Yuan, am a renowned swordsman with many years of experience. The Yuan family has been swordsmen for generations. The Yuan Family Sword School alone rakes in cash every day. You're just a soldier; how much do you earn in a month? Can you even support Xiao Yin?"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiaoyin became a little anxious. She and Zhang Jianyun were just pretending to be a couple so that it would be easier for them to ask to buy the Divine Pearl. Why was the focus now on whether Zhang Jianyun could afford to support her?

Just as Yuan Xiaoyin was about to speak up for Zhang Jianyun, Zhang Jianyun spoke first: "The Nine Star Guards may not be able to afford to support Xiaoyin, but as the Pavilion Master of Cangxi Pavilion, it's not a problem for me to support Xiaoyin."

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
