Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Faced with Zhu Chiyu's sudden question, Zhang Jianyun fell silent.

"Uncle, I wanted to buy it myself," Yuan Xiaoyin explained.

Zhu Chiyu continued to stare at Zhang Jianyun, ignoring Yuan Xiaoyin.

Worried that her father would be angry, Zhu Xuanyan said, "Let's not talk about this. There's still so much roast lamb left. Let's eat some more and not waste it."

"Uncle Zhu, it's me who wants to buy the Divine Pearl," Zhang Jianyun said after thinking for a moment.

Yuan Xiaoyin's heart immediately jumped when she saw Zhang Jianyun admit it directly. Zhu Xuanyan was also a little nervous, worried that her father would be furious.

Zhu Chiyu picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then asked, "Why did you buy the Divine Pearl?"

"I'm not happy with Uncle Zhu, because I obtained the Thunder God Sword, so I need the Divine Pearl," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Is that the Thor's Sword you're carrying on your back?" Zhu Chiyu asked.

"Yes, it's the Thor's Sword." Zhang Jianyun nodded.

"Could you take it off so I can take a look?" Zhu Chiyu asked.

"Okay." Zhang Jianyun said, taking down the Thunder God Sword and handing it to Zhu Chiyu.

After taking the Thor's Sword, Zhu Chiyu examined it carefully, holding it in his hand for a long time.

"What a fine sword, what a fine sword."

After looking at it for a long time, Zhu Chiyu reluctantly handed it back to Zhang Jianyun.

"This morning, a man claiming to be from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang also came to buy the Divine Pearl, saying that their gang leader had obtained the Wind God Sword."

Zhang Jianyun frowned upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, I directly rejected that person," Zhu Chiyu said.

He took a few more sips of wine, glanced at Yuan Xiaoyin, and then at Zhang Jianyun.

"Back then, I went to great lengths to buy this divine pearl from the Yuan family," Zhu Chiyu recalled.

"Dad, let's talk about this tomorrow. Let's eat now," Zhu Xuanyan said coquettishly.

"It's nothing~" Zhu Chiyu seemed to be drunk again.

"You can buy the divine pearl from me, but you must get me a sword. Give me the sword, and I'll give you the divine pearl."

"Well, you still need to give me 100,000 taels of silver, after all, I spent that much money to buy it in the first place."

"Dad, if you want to buy something, just buy it. Why do you need to get me a precious sword too?" Zhu Xuanyan complained.

Zhu Chiyu glared at his daughter: "Do you know how much effort I put into buying this divine pearl? If it weren't for this divine pearl, my daughter would be Xiaoyin now, not you."

"What?" Zhu Xuanyan was shocked. Yuan Xiaoyin was also very curious about what her father had done back then.

"Hmph, in short, I won't give you the divine pearl unless you get me a precious sword," Zhu Chiyu said arrogantly.

"Uncle Zhu, we can't find a sword right now," Zhang Jianyun said with difficulty.

"It's not difficult at all. There's a Hidden Sword Manor on the outskirts of Jiangshui Town, north of Houhai City. The manor owner has many precious swords. You just need to get one from him and give it to me," Zhu Chiyu said.

"Alright, I'll go to Hidden Sword Manor tomorrow to fetch a precious sword," Zhang Jianyun said in a deep voice.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, the master of Hidden Sword Manor has a rather strange temper and isn't easy to deal with," Zhu Chiyu said.

"Thanks for reminding me."

Zhu Chiyu then drank a few more sips of wine, and after finishing, he said he was tired and got up to leave.

"It's rare that my dad didn't get angry even though he was upset." After Zhu Chiyu left, Zhu Xuanyan stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't know what my dad went through to buy this divine pearl, but he definitely cherishes it. Every time an important guest comes, he takes it out to admire it."

"I was forced into this situation. I've become enemies with the owner of the Wind God Sword. If he gets the Divine Pearl, my life will be miserable," Zhang Jianyun said.

At this point, Zhang Jianyun's mind suddenly lit up. "How could I forget that I have a system! I could just spend hostility points to recruit Qi Tian as my sword master. I'm always thinking about making Qi Tian my enemy so I can harvest hostility points. If I had thought of this earlier, I wouldn't have needed to come here."

"I'll go with you to Cangjian Manor tomorrow. I'm a local, and I might be able to help you," Zhu Xuanyan said.

"Thank you, Sister Yan," Yuan Xiaoyin said happily.

Chan Feifei followed Zhu Chiyu to his room, thinking that Zhu Chiyu would take out the divine pearl to take a look, but unexpectedly, Zhu Chiyu fell asleep as soon as he entered the room.

Flying back to the restaurant, Chan Feifei told Tu Qiqi that Zhang Jianyun was going to Cangjian Manor to retrieve the treasure sword the next day.

"Let's go to Hidden Sword Manor tonight and steal a precious sword. Tomorrow morning, after Zhang Jianyun leaves the Zhu residence, we'll take the sword to Zhu Chiyu to exchange for the Divine Pearl," Niu Weiwu said excitedly.

"You're too naive. Do you think Zhu Chiyu will sell us the divine pearl just because we take the sword to him?" Rabbit Seven said dismissively.

"His condition is simply to have the sword?" Niu Weiwu said blankly.

"That's the condition they offered Zhang Jianyun. Even if we brought a hundred swords, he wouldn't sell us the Divine Pearl," Rabbit Seven said speechlessly.

"So, should we wait for Zhang Jianyun to obtain the Divine Pearl before taking any action?" Niu Weiwu asked, puzzled.

"We'll follow Zhang Jianyun to Hidden Sword Manor tomorrow," Rabbit Seven said after thinking for a moment.

Zhu Mansion.

Yuan Xiaoyin and Zhu Xuanyan slept together.

"Xiao Yin, tell me the truth, are you and Zhang Jianyun really a couple?" Zhu Xuanyan asked, holding Yuan Xiaoyin's hand on the bed.

"Yes," Yuan Xiaoyin said with an innocent look.

She looked at Yuan Xiaoyin suspiciously. "Why do I have a feeling that's not it?"

"If they weren't a couple, why would I help him find Uncle Zhu?" Yuan Xiaoyin said cleverly.

"Yes, that makes sense." Zhu Xuanyan nodded.

After having breakfast at the Zhu residence at dawn, Zhang Jianyun, led by Zhu Xuanyan, headed towards Jiangshui Town.

Upon arriving at Jiangshui Town and outside Cangjian Manor, we saw a long queue of over a hundred people waiting to buy swords.

"My brother and I have been waiting here for a day and a night, taking turns in line, just to buy a good sword."

"I wonder how many swords Hidden Sword Manor will sell today. I hope they can forge a few more."

"I brought my own sword-making materials. If I can have the sword personally forged by Master Du Qianfeng, the owner of the manor, I will surely become a legendary swordsman."

Looking at the bustling crowd in line, Zhang Jianyun felt a little annoyed. How long was this going to take?

"There are too many people, and we didn't bring any food. What are we going to do?" Yuan Xiaoyin pouted.

Zhang Jianyun pondered for a moment, then said, "Come with me."

Zhang Jianyun went to the front of the queue, which was at the entrance of the resort, and asked the person who was first in line.

"Brother, give me your seat, and I'll pay you a hundred taels of silver."

The person who placed first glanced coldly at Zhang Jianyun without saying a word.

Continue by asking the second person.

"I'll give you the spot if you offer me ten thousand taels of silver," the God of Songs said with a grin.

He continued to ask the third person, but before he could speak, the third person sneered, "Stay away from me."

Ask the fourth person.

"One hundred taels is too little, it's not worth it. If you give me five hundred taels, I'll give you my seat immediately."

"Give."

Zhang Jianyun promptly took out a five-hundred-tael silver note and handed it over.

Upon receiving the silver note, the fourth person was somewhat stunned, then his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new business opportunity.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
