Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Looking at the crystal in front of him and facing the eager expectations of the Wang father and daughter, Zhang Jianyun did not respond immediately.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

"As expected of the county's famous dish, this braised lamb is so tender!" Liu Fei took a bite of the lamb and deliberately praised it, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

Finally, Zhang Jianyun spoke.

"With crystals before me and a beautiful woman by my side, I am truly captivated," Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

"In that case, why doesn't Your Excellency take both the crystal and the beauty into your arms?" Wang Chaoyang said drunkenly.

"Haha~"

Zhang Jianyun burst into laughter upon hearing this. He did want to take Wang Qinqin, a student of the Jixia Academy, into his arms, but he was well aware of his own limitations.

"The crystal is something I urgently need right now, so I won't be coy and will accept it. But let me make it clear first, I won't do anything that violates my principles," Zhang Jianyun said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chaoyang was overjoyed and excitedly stood up to personally fill Zhang Jianyun's cup with wine.

Wang Qinqin and Liu Fei were overjoyed; now everyone was finally one of their own.

"Let's raise a glass to you, sir, and to the White Tiger Gang." Wang Chaoyang took the lead in raising his glass to toast Zhang Jianyun, and Wang Qinqin and Liu Fei also stood up and raised their glasses to toast Zhang Jianyun.

The atmosphere reached a fever pitch, incredibly enthusiastic.

After another round of eating and drinking, Zhang Jianyun couldn't hold his liquor any longer and had to suggest that the party end and they meet again another day.

"Qinqin, escort Lord Zhang back," Wang Chaoyang instructed Wang Qinqin.

Afterwards, Wang Qinqin called a carriage, which took her and Zhang Jianyun to Geyi Lane.

Upon reaching the entrance of Ge Yi Lane, Zhang Jianyun stopped the carriage and then alighted.

"Sir, let me help you." Wang Qinqin reached out to support Zhang Jianyun.

Zhang Jianyun broke free, saying, "I'm almost home, you can go back now."

"Sir, let me take you home," Wang Qinqin said warmly.

Zhang Jianyun waved his hand: "No need, lest my parents see this and I can't explain it."

Wang Qinqin smiled upon hearing this: "Alright then, please be careful, sir. I hope to see you again next time."

Back home, Zhang Song and Cao Fen, who were weaving straw sandals, frowned when they saw Zhang Jianyun return reeking of alcohol.

"Where did you go drinking? You're so drunk," Cao Fen asked.

"I drank some wine with Liu Fei and the others. The wine was strong, and I got drunk after only a few drinks." Zhang Jianyun said as he walked straight into the room, closed the door, and fell asleep immediately.

Zhang Song and Cao Fen exchanged a glance and whispered, "Could it be that he's drinking with the White Tiger Gang?"

After a moment of silence, Cao Fen said, "He's grown up now, and there are some things we can't control anymore. We should just do our own thing and not cause him any trouble."

Xu's Medical Clinic.

The lights were on, and people were coming and going.

Although Xu Siming was killed by the Nine Star Guards after becoming the vessel of the Serpent Master, many people who had received kindness from Xu Siming still came to attend his funeral and lent a helping hand wherever they could.

Giddy up! Giddy up!

At this moment, a young man in white rode a black horse to the front of the clinic, dismounted, and strode into the clinic.

"Young Master, you're finally back." The clinic manager rushed to greet the young man in white.

The visitor was Xu Tianxiang, the grandson of Xu Siming.

"What exactly happened? My grandfather was perfectly fine, how could he just die?" Xu Tianxiang asked angrily.

"Young master, the officials say that the master became the vessel of the strange snake spirit and was killed by the Nine Star Guards," the steward said sorrowfully.

Xu Tianxiang's expression changed several times upon hearing this. "Do you know which member of the Nine Star Guard killed my grandfather?"

"I don't know their names. Shall I ask Jiang Gulin?" the manager said.

"No need, I will personally go to Cangxi Pavilion tomorrow." Xu Tianxiang said as he came to Xu Siming's coffin and knelt down with a thud.

Early in the morning, Zhang Jianyun was still asleep.

Bang bang bang!

Cao Fen pounded on the door: "Aren't you getting up? Aren't you going to work?"

Upon hearing Cao Fen's voice, Zhang Jianyun woke up and hurriedly got up.

As soon as Zhang Jianyun arrived at Cangxi Pavilion, he saw a young man in white riding a horse in front of the pavilion.

As Zhang Jianyun walked past the young man, he recognized him and wondered, "Who is this person? What is he doing here? Is he trying to provoke Cangxi Pavilion?"

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Zhang Jianyun suddenly thought, could this young man be Xu Siming's grandson?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jianyun turned around and looked at the young man again, sensing a murderous aura emanating from him.

Just then, Yang Changping also arrived in front of the pavilion.

"Who are you? What are you doing standing here on horseback?" Yang Changping asked sternly.

"Who are you from Cangxi Pavilion?" Xu Tianxiang asked condescendingly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jianyun said, "The person in front of you is the Pavilion Master of my Cangxi Pavilion."

"So it's the Pavilion Master. I am Xu Tianxiang, grandson of Xu Siming. I've come here today simply to demand an explanation," Xu Tianxiang said coldly.

Yang Changping's expression turned cold upon hearing this: "What kind of explanation do you want?"

"Hand over the murderer," Xu Tianxiang said grimly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Changping casually gripped the sword at his waist: "Have you come to the wrong place? If you're looking for a murderer, go to the government office. What are you doing at my Cangxi Pavilion?"

"Don't play dumb with me!" Xu Tianxiang roared, "You people from Cangxi Pavilion killed my grandfather, do you think you can just let it go? A life for a life, hand over the murderer!"

sizzle~

At this moment, Xu Tianxiang's black horse reared up and neighed, as if it wanted to break free and run away.

"Anyone who colludes with supernatural beings deserves to be killed. Your grandfather became the vessel of the Serpent Master and was killed by my Cangxi Pavilion. It is only right and proper," Yang Changping said solemnly.

"That's just your side of the story. How could my grandfather possibly collude with the supernatural and become the vessel for the Serpent Master?" Xu Tianxiang said angrily.

"I'm the one who killed your grandfather. If you have a problem, come at me," Zhang Jianyun said, his attention highly focused, ready to act at any moment.

Just then, the rest of the Cangxi Pavilion members arrived one after another.

Upon hearing Zhang Jianyun's words, Xu Tianxiang's eyes flashed with a fierce light. In an instant, he drew his long sword, leaped up, and slashed at her with his sword.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun instantly drew his sword, ready to fight.

boom!

Just then, Yang Changping drew his sword and cleaved Xu Tianxiang's longsword in two. He then struck Xu Tianxiang in the abdomen with a palm strike, sending him flying to the ground.

"The Realm of History?"

Xu Tianxiang, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, looked up and glared fiercely at Yang Changping, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"This is not a place for you to run wild." After saying this, Yang Changping turned around and walked into Cangxi Pavilion.

Zhang Jianyun stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Tianxiang: "I had no grudge against your grandfather. I killed him because he had become the vessel for the Serpent Master, and I had no choice. If you want revenge, feel free to come."

"Why bother talking to him? Next time we meet, I won't let him off so easily. Attacking a Nine-Star Guardian is a capital offense," Liu Fei said fiercely, gripping the sword at his waist tightly. He really wanted to take this opportunity to kill Xu Tianxiang.

Xu Tianxiang, who had fallen to the ground, slowly got up, his face twitching. Looking at Zhang Jianyun's departing figure, he thought fiercely, "Once I break through to the Sea of ​​History Realm, I will definitely come and raze Cangxi Pavilion to the ground."

"Zhang Jianyun, Liu Fei, come to my office."

Zhang and Liu entered the pavilion, and Yang Changping, who was in front, turned around and called out to them.
