Chapter 124: The Mysterious and Elusive Xia Qing

  Su Wen sighed in regret that this sword did not kill Xun Yu Kang, and there would be no more opportunities from now on.

  Ma Guangnian jumped out at this time, pointing at Su Wen and scolding: "You have a poisonous heart, actually daring to commit murder with a sword. Vice President, you must uphold justice!"

  Jian Fengzi looked at Su Wen and furrowed his brow.

  "Senior, what do you think?"

  "What do you think?"

  "It was just an accident."

  "That's just an accident."

  Jian Fengzi said indifferently and looked at Xun Yu who was lying on the ground, asking: "Do you have any opinion?"

  Jun Yu Kang gritted his teeth and didn't dare to speak. His assessment with Su Wen just now was a life-and-death struggle, and if Sword Crazy hadn't intervened, that one sword would have been enough to split him in two. Now if he were to turn the tables, Sword Crazy wouldn't be willing, and neither would anyone else.

  "Alright, let's go!" Jian Fengzi said, looking at Ma Guangyuan, "What are you still dazing about? Help Chun Yu Kang down. His arm is broken but it can be reattached. It's just that in the future, using a sword might not be as smooth."

  Ma Guangnian didn't dare say anything more and he and Bai Yufeng supported Chun Yu Kang as they left.

  Su Wen knew that this feud was big. However, he wasn't afraid either. When a man enters society, who doesn't have 180 enemies? He calmly picked up the scabbard, also feeling shocked by what had just happened. This ugly treasure sword was obviously not simple, and when he got back, he would definitely study it.

  "What's your name?"

  "Sue Wen!"

  "Congratulations, you've been promoted to Grand Sword Master!"

  Su Wen was shocked: "I became a great sword master?"

  Jian Fengzi nodded: "You defeated a great swordsman in three moves. Your swordsmanship is superb, and if someone like you can't become a great swordsman, I believe others are even less qualified. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to believe that someone so young could wield such a sharp sword technique."

  Su Wen smiled bitterly, he didn't know swordsmanship at all, everything that had just happened was entirely the credit of the ugly longsword. However, now being misunderstood, he couldn't explain, if others knew it was a sword controlling him and then executing that terrifying sword move, most likely people would think he's gone mad.

  "It's too kind of you to say that, I'm actually a low-key person."

  "I see."

  Jian Fengzi announced Su Wen as a great sword master, and many people were envious.

  Thinking of Su Wen's swordsmanship, everyone still feels shocked. Those three moves of swordsmanship, plus the final fatal blow, were completely unavoidable. Everyone imagined themselves as Chun Yu Kang and came to a surprisingly consistent conclusion: they would not have performed any better than Chun Yu Kang.

  "Senior, can the title of Great Swordsman be transferred?" Su Wen thought for a moment, he didn't have much affection for this title, but Yi Xue seemed to like it.

  "Transfer?" Jian Fengzi wondered.

  "Pass it to my wife, she likes this title more than I do." Su Wen smiled, "You also saw that just now, she actually fought two great swordsmen in a row. If it wasn't for Chun Yu Kang's malicious injury at the end, with her strength, holding on for five minutes wouldn't be a problem."

  Jian Fengzi heard this and said: "What you're thinking is good, but it's not allowed."

  Su Wen said gloomily: "If it's not allowed, then it's not allowed. What's the point of getting angry?"

  Jian Fengzi drove Su Wen off the stage, then loudly said: "Is there anyone else who wants to take the Great Swordsman assessment? If not, I have an announcement to make. We will be holding a banquet in the grand hall soon, and everyone is welcome to attend. Oh, and each person needs to pay 1 million yuan for the meal fee, don't forget to go pay later."

  "Damn it, I have to pay again!"

  "The Huaxia Swordsmanship Association is also too dark, they collect so much membership fees every year, and they don't even reimburse us for meals."

  "Yes! I've decided not to go when the time comes."

  ……

  Jian Fengzi heard the crowd's complaints, seemingly prepared in advance, and chuckled: "Hehe, everyone go ahead, Sword King will also attend later."

  Sword King!

  Everyone was shocked when they heard this name.

  The president of the Huaxia Swordsmanship Association is actually the Sword King, and the Sword Madman is just one of the three vice presidents.

  The height of Jian Wang's swordsmanship is unknown to all, but his battle achievements are clear for everyone to see.

  Three years ago, he defeated the British great swordsman Hawk, five years ago, he defeated the American first sword master Lains, six years ago, he defeated Japan's one-sword-style Kitano Kami, and ten years ago when he took office as president, he consecutively defeated twelve top-level great swordsmen. Now, the strength of the Sword King is completely unimaginable.

  "Could it be him?" Su Wen muttered to herself.

  "What's wrong, Su Wen?" Yixue asked, seeing Su Wen lost in thought.

  "My father has a good brother, nicknamed the Sword King. Now that Jian Fengzi mentions the Sword King will be attending, I'm a bit curious if it's my father's good brother, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be, right?" Su Wen said.

  "In the evening, you'll naturally know." Yuxue smiled, "Alright, let's go to the banquet hall now!"

  "Let's go eat, I'm starving." Su Wen and Yi Xue left.

  A corner of the banquet hall.

  "Yuki, you're really not hurt?"

  "No, it was the clothes that blocked Chun Yu Kang's sword for me."

  "You're making me vomit blood."

  "Mainly it was being shaken by that one sword strike from Chun Yu Qiong, possibly injuring the lungs, and after a period of recuperation, he'll be fine."

  "I don't believe it, show me."

  "What's going on?"

  "Look at that sword, did it stab you?"

  "Scoundrel!"

  Su Wen felt depressed and his eyes were no longer fixed on Yuxue's chest.

  "Haha, what a coincidence!" Xia Qing walked over with a tray, "Su Wen, I heard you've become a great sword master, impressive!"

  "Xia Qing, is your master ill?" Su Wen complained as soon as he saw Xia Qing, "I had already signaled to him, saying that we would take down Chun Yu Kang with one sword. But in the end, he actually stopped me and only allowed me to cut off one of Chun Yu Kang's arms."

  "He's indeed ill, and it's not a light illness." Xia Qing said with a serious face, "Otherwise, you can go and kill my master, so I'll be free from now on."

  "I can't beat your master!" Su Wen spread his hands in a helpless gesture, he felt a terrifying power emanating from Jian Fengzi. When Jian Fengzi opened with that one sword strike, perhaps not even using one-tenth of his strength, Su Wen even suspected that Chun Yu Kang's severed arm was also part of Jian Fengzi's plan.

  "That's it, I couldn't beat him anyway. Otherwise, do you think I would have become his apprentice?" Xia Qing said with a resentful face, "After this time back in Huaxia, my good days are over, now I can finally enjoy myself, poor me! Why am I so miserable?!"

  "Su Wen. Is this the apprentice of Sword Frenzy?" Yi Xue asked curiously, still unaware of Xia Qing's situation.

  "Hmm, but this disciple of Sword Frenzy is not a good person, always thinking of finding someone to kill his master." Su Wen didn't mind badmouthing Xia Qing a few sentences.

  "Miss Yixue, Su Wen risked his life for you today. In the end, he almost got hurt by Chunyu Kang. Are you moved?" Xia Qing smiled and said, "I think your fates are matched, you two are destined to be a pair."

  "Are you still going to read physiognomy?" Su Wen glanced at Xia Qing. Could it be that the Heaven's Eye still had this function?

  "I roughly understand." Xia Qing smiled slightly, looking very mysterious.

  "So tell me, when can I become rich?"

  "Aren't you already developed?"

  "Also, then you tell me how many kids I and Yuxue will have?"

  "I don't know about this, anyway you have more than one kid, I counted at least three."

  "So many, I don't want Yuxue to have so many children, it's bad for her body."

  "It's all Yuxue's fault."

  "What's wrong with you, Xia Qing?"

  "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed."

  "Even Cao Yu and Xi Yue were scared away by you."

  Xia Qing said with an innocent face: "I'm telling the truth."

  Su Wen pointed at Xia Qing: "You go!"

  "I'm fine, I've been hinting at you for half a day, and you still don't take the opportunity to give me an advantage. Later on, I can only dismantle your stage."

  "What's the benefit?"

  "Hey! I'm speaking well of you, shouldn't you be giving me some benefits? When my master did divination for others, they didn't skimp on the money. In the end, whatever they wanted him to say, he'd say it. Since I'll be taking over my master's business in the future, I naturally can't lose his excellent tradition."

  "So you were just making everything up?"

  "Of course, who knows what the future holds. Otherwise, those fortune tellers would not add a sentence after finishing their calculations: if you believe it's true, if you don't believe it's false. This is just to absolve themselves of responsibility, so that no matter whether it comes true or not, they can wash their hands of it."

  Su Wen really wanted to scold Xia Qing severely, but somehow felt that what Xia Qing said made a lot of sense.

  "There she is!" Xia Qing pointed.

  "Yi Xue!" Su Wen exclaimed in delight, "I'll be off for now, let's catch up again later."

  Xia Qing nodded, but suddenly grasped Su Wen's hand again.

  "Anything else?"

  "That sword doesn't suit you, it's better if you don't use it from now on."

  Su Wen was taken aback, somewhat shocked: "Do you know something?"

  Xia Qing's face was bewildered: "What do you mean, that ugly sword is too embarrassing to take out, it doesn't match your great swordsman identity at all."

  Su Wen left with mixed feelings of doubt and suspicion.

  Xia Qing then grabbed a bottle of red wine and sneaked to the side, muttering to himself: "Today I'll drink to my heart's content, no one knows about the things I didn't pay for, right?"

  When Su Wen arrived beside Yuxue, she found Yuxue chatting with a middle-aged woman.

  "Wang Jie, let me introduce you, this is Su Wen, my friend."

  "Is it your boyfriend?"

  "Not yet!"

  Su Wen looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him and smiled: "Wang sister, I am Su Wen, Yixue is not my girlfriend, she is currently just my wife."

  Sister Wang burst out laughing: "Not bad, not just a girlfriend, but a wife. You're very manly today, Sister Wang has her eyes on you, and maybe next time Sister Wang will even ask for your guidance on swordsmanship."

  Su Wen smiled awkwardly, he really didn't know swordsmanship.

  Yi Xue then told Su Wen that Wang Jie had taught her swordsmanship before, and was considered half a master. It was because she saw Wang Jie earlier that she came over to greet her. The three of them chatted for a while, with Wang Jie being very curious about Su Wen, constantly teasing him and making him feel embarrassed.

  "The Sword King... has arrived." Someone shouted in the banquet hall.

  The surroundings were quiet, and everyone's gaze turned towards the entrance.

  Su Wen was shocked: "It's really him!" (....)
