Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

Chen Xuan blinked as he looked at the screen. Although Cui Jianxing had mentioned something similar to him yesterday.

However, after witnessing this scene, he was still somewhat stunned.

You stare blankly at the longsword in your hand.

Even though this sword is still in its sheath, the surging, powerful sword intent gives you a sense of utter vulnerability before it, a feeling that you cannot hide anything from it!

It's as if facing this sword, everything about you is completely exposed.

[A sudden chill ran through your body, goosebumps rose on your skin, but in an instant, this chill transformed into warmth.]

[A top-tier sword!]

In just a moment, you'll be certain of it!

This is absolutely a top-tier sword, no less powerful than the 'Seven Killing Blade'!

Faced with the precious sword that had been thrown into your hand, you decide...

Without even thinking, you handed it back to Cui Jianxing: (Option 1)

"Mr. Cui, this thing..." [Cui Jianxing smiled and shook his head:]

"This was given to me by Master Yang. Furthermore, this sword is one of the sacrificial swords in the Confucian Temple, an accessory to the 'Righteousness' sword. The sword possesses a spirit! Master Yang gifted it to me years ago, and the sword acknowledged his gift. Now, I pass the Righteousness Sword on to you."

Now that the Righteous Sword has also recognized you, what reason do you have to refuse? Righteousness will endure between heaven and earth. If there is only one person and only one sword, how can it endure?

"A friend is one who befriends virtue. This sword embodies our noble spirit, and it represents the bond of trust and righteousness between us. Young man, if you do not accept it, it means you have not forgiven me."

Seeing that Cui Jianxing was clearly trying to back out by the end, you smiled: (Choose your own words)

"I don't befriend people based on their age, status, or kinship." Senior, you don't even consider me a friend!

As soon as you finished speaking, you didn't refuse again and grasped the scabbard of the longsword in your hand.

[Cui Jianxing smiled again:]

"Nonsense, I was never your friend! I am your mentor, your elder, your teacher! Well, I could also be your uncle..."

At this point, Cui Jianxing seemed somewhat emotional:

"You have no idea, since yesterday, Jinghong has stopped talking to me..."

[After a pause, Cui Jianxing then said:] ["So, kid, I'm asking you on behalf of my brother, what are your thoughts on Si Ming, your relationship with Jing Hong... and the future..."]

Faced with his request, you decide...

This time, you are truly hesitant and unsure how to answer. (Option 3)

[To reiterate, the only one you feel guilty about is Yan Jinghong.]

After all, even though we both possess the primordial Yin body, Jin Xilian's relationship with you is a genuine transaction.

Seeing your helplessness and hesitation, Cui Jianxing laughed heartily:

"Haha, just like I was back then! Young people should be a bit flamboyant. It's mediocre not to attract envy, and even more so if you're not loved!"

How many of these romantic heroes and chivalrous figures in the martial world are without a past filled with romantic escapades?

Thinking of this, Cui Jianxing's eyes seemed to recall something, as if he had remembered something, and a trace of emotion and nostalgia appeared on his face.

"Of course, it's normal for a real man to have three wives and four concubines. However, Sir, no matter what, you still need to be able to distinguish between them! Although this may sound harsh and overly subjective..."

But Si Ming, I'm speaking to you as your uncle. For a man to marry, mutual affection is naturally the most important thing, but besides that, social standing is also crucial! Miss Fourteen is indeed a good match, but ultimately, she's already engaged…

Jinghong is an excellent choice in terms of appearance, talent, and family background! Regardless, the position of principal wife requires careful consideration, and you don't need to worry about the Yan family! I will personally act as matchmaker for you! If Yan Tianhan is unwilling, you can come to me. You can choose any woman of marriageable age from my Xue family; even women from illegitimate or collateral branches can be taken as concubines.

However, Cui Jianxing quickly frowned slightly and continued:

"Well, it's not without its troubles. Yan Tianhan is just being nosy; he insisted on arranging a marriage between his child and the Xue family. It's causing some problems, but I can help you think of a solution..."

You pursed your lips, looking at Lord Cui who was completely engrossed in pairing people up, and felt somewhat speechless.

[This Lord Cui has this hobby?]

Or rather, it seems that most important figures are quite interested in this matter?

[That's why being an emperor is so great! You don't have to worry about problems when you're paired up with someone, because whoever causes the problem dies.]

However, it was clear that there was someone else in this room.

Qingti, carrying a pot of hot tea, came up with her eyes fixed intently on Cui Jianxing, her cheeks puffed out.

Clearly, Qingti heard Cui Jianxing's words. Faced with this situation, what do you decide...?

[You then spoke with a hint of helplessness:]

"Mr. Cui, I'm only sixteen now, and in two months after the New Year, I'll be seventeen. Isn't it a bit too early to talk about this now? Besides, my sworn sister has been kind to me like a real sister, and I don't even know if she feels the same way about me. For you to say these things at this time is somewhat disparaging of my sworn sister's kindness."

[System Notification: Qingti's favorability towards you has increased by 15 points, current favorability is 50 points (closest acquaintance).]

Cui Jianxing chuckled. This time, he didn't say anything more, but you can clearly see now that this Mr. Cui must have been a dashing swordsman in his youth, wandering the martial world.

[Cui Jianxing glanced at the obviously sulking maid with a smile, then at the half-empty teacup, but wasn't angry. He then continued to smile at you.]

"Siming, you experienced that mental shock yesterday. Well, that's fine. Let's leave it at that for today. Gu Ping just died, and things are in chaos here in Yuhang County. I have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll be leaving now."

"You're coming over tonight for the victory celebration banquet. I'll personally host and entertain you. I'll also show you your swordsmanship then, how about that?"

【"good!"】

"Haha, alright, then there's no need to send it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Jianxing's figure moved gracefully, disappearing from the hall like a shimmering ink painting.

As you watched Cui Jianxing's departing figure, a smile involuntarily appeared on your face. Then, you looked at the Haoran Sword in your hand...
