Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not targeting anyone," Zhang Jianyun said to Gan Qiang.

"Hmph, I doubt you'd dare target me," Gan Qiang said coldly.

The atmosphere in the rest room froze instantly after Gan Qiang said those words.

Even Sun Dang, who was always on good terms with Gan Qiang, looked at him in surprise. Where did he get the courage to speak to Zhang Jianyun like that?

Looking at Gan Qiang's confident face, Zhang Jianyun laughed and said, "I never dare to yell at dogs, after all, dogs bark too loudly."

"you!"

Gan Qiang suddenly jumped out of bed and glared angrily at Zhang Jianyun: "You really were calling me a dog."

"What difference would it make if I told you?" Zhang Jianyun said dismissively.

"You...you...I need to report to the Pavilion Master," Gan Qiang said, leaving the rest room.

"Hahaha~"

As soon as Gan Qiang left, all the armored soldiers in the rest room burst into laughter.

"Gan Qiang is just like a child; when he gets bullied, he just runs to his parents," Peng Zhong laughed heartily.

"Gan Qiang actually dares to argue with Zhang Jianyun, he really doesn't know his own limitations," Zhou Wei said disdainfully.

Just as the group was chatting and laughing, Gan Qiang returned looking dejected. Clearly, Yang Changping had ignored him.

When Gan Qiang returned, he looked at Zhang Jianyun with hatred in his eyes.

"You have received hostility points from Gan Qiang."

Upon receiving the system notification, Zhang Jianyun looked at Gan Qiang with some surprise. "So you hate me just like that?"

Perfect timing, I was just worried about not having any sources of hostility points.

"Gan Qiang, one should be open-minded in life and not always think about belittling others," Zhang Jianyun advised Gan Qiang like a wise man.

"You~"

Seeing Zhang Jianyun's instructive manner, Gan Qiang was furious.

"You have received hostility points from Gan Qiang."

"Gan Qiang, have you ever heard the saying, 'How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?' How can you be so sure I won't become a master of the History Sea Realm in this lifetime? How about we make a bet? If I break through to the History Sea Realm within three years, you shout 'I am Zhang Jianyun's son' three times on the martial arts stage. If I don't break through, I'll give you a penny. How about it, are you in?"

"Zhang Jianyun!" Gan Qiang was extremely angry.

"You have received hostility points from Gan Qiang."

Seeing the system notification that he had received 100 hostility points, Zhang Jianyun became even more excited and continued, "Gan Qiang, you know what, I had a dog when I was a kid that really looked a bit like you."

"Zhang Jianyun, I'll fight you to the death!" Gan Qiang said, and suddenly lunged at Zhang Jianyun.

Snapped!

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Jianyun sent Gan Qiang flying.

After falling to the ground and getting up, Gan Qiang was about to charge at Zhang Jianyun again, but Sun Dang grabbed him and said, "Gan Qiang, calm down. You are no match for Zhang Jianyun."

"You have received hostility points from Gan Qiang."

Upon receiving the system notification again, Zhang Jianyun was overjoyed. This was even easier than slaughtering livestock and reaping hostility points at the slaughterhouse.

Just as Zhang Jianyun was about to continue taunting Gan Qiang, Sun Dang spoke up: "Zhang Jianyun, you are now a martial artist with decades of experience. You are a magnanimous person, there is no need to stoop to Gan Qiang's level. Let him go."

Although he didn't usually interact much with Sun Dang, Sun Dang was a long-time member of Cangxi Pavilion, and now that he had spoken up, Zhang Jianyun didn't need to offend him.

"Of course I won't hold it against him, but if he dares to bark at me again, don't worry about how ruthless I am," Zhang Jianyun said with a light laugh.

"I promise he won't be so rude again," Sun Dang said.

At this moment, Gan Qiang, who was being held by Sun Dang, was about to speak angrily, but Sun Dang covered his mouth with his hand.

Seeing Gan Qiang's expression, Zhang Jianyun knew that he was very dissatisfied. It didn't matter; there would be plenty of opportunities to torment him in the future.

Before you know it, the break time is over.

Liu Fei and I returned to the training ground and reviewed the movements of the Crimson Flame Blade.

Before long, the markings on the back of his hand appeared; it was a message from Yang Changping, asking Zhang Jianyun to go to the office.

Upon arriving at the office and seeing Gan Qiang there, Zhang Jianyun's expression changed.

"Jianyun is here, please sit down." Yang Changping gestured for Zhang Jianyun to sit down.

"I heard that you two had some disagreements in the rest room at noon, so I called you over," Yang Changping said directly.

"Master, it's just a little bickering over trivial matters, nothing to do with conflict," Zhang Jianyun said casually.

"Was it just a bickering?" Yang Changping asked.

"Of course, it was just a few simple banter between us," Zhang Jianyun said.

"How come I heard that you slapped Gan Qiang away?" Yang Changping asked.

"Oh, well, Gan Qiang lost his temper and charged at me. I instinctively slapped him. It wasn't a fight," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Is that so, Gan Qiang?" Yang Changping looked at Gan Qiang.

"Boss, Zhang Jianyun and I don't have any conflicts. We just had a few words exchanged. He didn't slap me on purpose," Gan Qiang said, barely suppressing his disgust.

After scrutinizing Zhang Jianyun and Gan Qiang, Yang Changping said, "Alright, as long as you two don't have any conflicts or harbor any resentment towards each other, that's fine. I have a task for you two to handle right now, and you must put aside your past grievances and work together."

Upon hearing this, Gan Qiang's face contorted, turning pale and then flushed. He roared inwardly, "Damn it, they actually want me to go on a mission with that Zhang guy!"

"A pack of Heart-Stealing Wolves has appeared outside Snow Valley Village. We don't know what they're up to, and the villagers are terrified. You two go and drive the wolves away," Yang Changping instructed.

"Yes, ma'am."

Despite feeling extremely disgusted and angry, Gan Qiang and Zhang Jianyun still responded with a "Yes, sir" in agreement.

Immediately, the two rode their horses to Xuegu Village.

On the way, Gan Qiang remained silent and kept his distance from Zhang Jianyun.

"Gan Qiang, what do you think if I break through to become a master of the History Sea Realm tomorrow?" Zhang Jianyun teased Gan Qiang.

snort!

Gan Qiang snorted dismissively and remained silent.

"You're just ignorant; you don't know how formidable your brother Yun is," Zhang Jianyun chuckled.

"Enough, Zhang Jianyun, don't think I'm afraid of you. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered," Gan Qiang said angrily.

Seeing Gan Qiang's annoyed expression, Zhang Jianyun laughed and stopped teasing him, since they would be carrying out a mission together later.

Upon arriving at Snow Valley Village, the two could see more than a dozen Heart-Stealing Wolves leaping around outside the village, as if searching for something.

After observing for a while, the two spurred their horses and galloped towards the wolf pack.

When the wolf pack saw Zhang Jianyun and Gan Qiang running towards them, they did not flee, but charged at them head-on.

shhhhhh!

Swish swish!

Zhang Jianyun and Gan Qiang charged forward and soon killed all the Heart-Stealing Wolves.

Dismounting and standing still, Zhang Jianyun pondered, wanting to know what these Heart-Stealing Wolves were looking for here.

"Go back and report. The Heart-Stealing Wolves have all been killed." Gan Qiang said blankly, looking at Zhang Jianyun who was deep in thought.

"Go back first, I'll check it out," Zhang Jianyun said, bending down to touch the ground.

"Hmph, then you can waste your time looking around here." Gan Qiang said, turning his horse around and leaving.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
