Yang Dingtian nodded and sat back down.
Qiu Wanjie let out a long breath of relief and said, "If I had come earlier, even if Lady Gongsun asked to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, I, Qiu Wanjie, would have no objections.
Unfortunately, I have already lent out the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. "
"Manor Lord Qiu, it's fine if you aren't willing to lend it to us. Why do you have to make up such a lie to deceive us?" Dugu Fengwu said indifferently and stood up to leave.
"It's absolutely true. I, Qiu Wanjie, will cause my Divine Weapons Manor to decline and never be able to rise again."
Qiu Wanjie immediately swore loudly and laughed bitterly. "Furthermore, how much guts do I have to deceive nameless guests?"
"Then who borrowed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer?" Dugu Fengwu asked.
"Northwest In-law's Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu," Qiu Wanjie said.
Once he said that, Yang Dingtian's heart twitched violently.
Dugu Fengwu's expression changed as well.
Qin Huaiyu!
Yang Dingtian had engraved this name in his heart. Even though he had never seen this person before, he had already treated him as a mortal enemy. Moreover, he was the most dangerous and fatal enemy.
It was this person who had always been plotting against Cloud Heaven City.
All the recent calamities in Cloud Heaven City and Yang Dingtian's encounters were all due to this person's shadow.
Furthermore, this person had always harbored wild ambitions towards Yanyan and had always wanted Cloud Heaven City to send Yanyan to him for a marriage alliance.
This Qin Clan's Young Lord was the no.1 youth expert in the entire Northwest Continent and would be the no.1 person in the Northwest Continent in the future.
Who would have thought that he would actually come to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? Could he also want to cultivate the sword soul?
But since he was the one lending it, Qiu Wanjie had no choice but to do so.
Dugu Fengwu instantly frowned and said, "Is the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer already in his hands?"
"This, this isn't the case yet."
Qiu Wanjie said, "But just two hours ago, I had personally promised Young Lord Qin Huaiyu."
Dugu Fengwu's expression instantly turned cold as she said indifferently, "Then you decide what to do. If you decide to lend the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Qin Huaiyu, we will leave now...."
Instantly, Qiu Wanjie's expression became complicated.
To be honest, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to curry favor with the Hidden Sect.
After all, the disciples of the Hidden Sect had not appeared in this world for close to two hundred years.
Therefore, he was definitely willing to lend the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to "John Doe".
However, he had already promised Qin Huaiyu.
It was not good to offend the people from the Hidden Sect, and it was also not good to offend the people from the Northwest.
Moreover, this person was the Young Master of the Northwest's in-laws, the future Lord of the entire Northwest.
The Divine Weapons Manor might seem to have a very high status, and it was as if they couldn't offend any of the great sects in the world. However, in reality, how could they not look up to the Northwest Continent's in-laws?
Now, he couldn't afford to offend either side.
Instantly, Qiu Wanjie was in a difficult position.
"Manor Lord Qiu, there's no need to make things difficult for us. We will take our leave now." Yang Dingtian stood up and looked at Dugu Fengwu, "Young Lady Gongsun, let's go."
Seeing that the two of them were really about to leave, Qiu Wanjie said, "Please wait a moment. I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it."
"You are the owner of this place. What's wrong with saying it?" Dugu Fengwu asked.
"Since Young Lord Qin and Young Lord Nameless are the future leaders of the Tiandō League, you are also here to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer.
In that case, the two of you can decide who to lend it to. How about that? "
Qiu Wanjie said, "Since the two Young Lords are doing this for the righteous cause of the Tiandō League, I will hand this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer over to the Tiandō League. As for who to give it to, the two Young Lords can decide for themselves. How about it?"
After hearing Qiu Wanjie's idea, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu instantly went silent.
"If the two of you don't have any objections, I will go and talk to Young Lord Qin. He is currently touring our Myriad Sword Pool," Qiu Wanjie said.
Yang Dingtian didn't say anything. Dugu Fengwu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will leave it to you."
"Then please wait a moment. I will be back soon," Qiu Wanjie said.
After that, he left to discuss with Qin Huaiyu.
Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu looked at each other. They could see the worry and danger in each other's eyes.
Qin Shaobai was already a venomous snake, but compared to Qin Huaiyu, Qin Shaobai was nothing. It could be seen how dangerous Qin Huaiyu was.
Qiu Wanjie was a straightforward and forthright person. Yang Dingtian showed him the tree leaf ornament and showed him the sword.
Qiu Wanjie was instantly fooled, but it wasn't easy to fool Qin Huaiyu.
The Northwest In-laws were the true upper echelons of the Tiandō League. They were definitely not ignorant of the Hidden Sect like the others.
To be honest, if they knew that they would encounter Qin Huaiyu, Yang Dingtian wouldn't have pretended to be a Hidden Sect disciple. Even Dugu Fengwu wouldn't have come.
They were about to meet Qin Huaiyu, and Yang Dingtian wasn't mentally prepared at all. He was about to meet his mortal enemy, and he couldn't help but be so nervous that he couldn't breathe.
*****
After waiting for over ten minutes, there was a series of hurried footsteps outside. It was obvious that the person was very agitated.
"Where is Senior Brother Nameless?" Before seeing him, Qin Huaiyu heard his voice.
It was a very gentle and pleasant voice, and after hearing it, one couldn't help but feel a sense of trust.
After that, a slender figure walked in quickly and stopped two meters away from Yang Dingtian. He then bowed deeply. "Northwest Qin Huaiyu pays his respects to Senior Brother Nameless."
Even though the name Nameless was undoubtedly fake, when it came out from Qin Huaiyu's mouth, it gave off a very sincere feeling. It was as though Yang Dingtian's name was Nameless.
"Greetings to Brother Qin."
Even though Yang Dingtian was very nervous, his expression didn't change. After taking a glance at Qin Huaiyu, he greeted him indifferently. His attitude wasn't any different from how he greeted Qiu Wanjie.
From the perspective of a Hidden Sect disciple, Qiu Wanjie and Qin Huaiyu had the same status in front of him. There shouldn't be any difference in their attitudes.
However, Qin Huaiyu's appearance did surprise him. It was completely different from what he imagined.
In Yang Dingtian's opinion, Qin Huaiyu was definitely more handsome and devilish than Qin Shaobai.
However, the truth wasn't like that. Qin Huaiyu wasn't considered very handsome. He wasn't even as handsome as Yang Dingtian himself.
However, his ordinary face looked like it was carved out of warm jade. It was refined and gentle.
His eyes were clear, and his expression was sincere at all times. No matter if it was his words or actions, they were like a spring breeze.
"Greetings to Lady Gongsun."
In front of an exceptional beauty like Third Lady Gongsun who was dressed up as Dugu Fengwu, Qin Huaiyu was very refined and polite. He wasn't overly passionate, and his gaze was only filled with faint admiration. There wasn't a hint of passion, unlike when he was excited about 'Nameless'.
"Senior Brother Nameless, this is my younger sister, Qin Jiaojiao." Qin Huaiyu pointed at the woman behind him.
Qin Jiaojiao was a beauty that was second only to Ximen Yanyan in the Northwest Continent.
In terms of status, she might be slightly more noble than Ximen Yanyan. However, in terms of beauty, innate talent, and mystic meridians, Qin Jiaojiao was slightly inferior to Yanyan.
Of course, she was only slightly inferior to Yanyan. Yanyan was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Compared to most other women, Qin Jiaojiao was already very beautiful.
In terms of dressing, Qin Jiaojiao was comparable to 'Third Lady Gongsun'.
She wore a long red dress that accentuated her figure.
However, even in terms of figure, she was still slightly inferior to Third Lady Gongsun and Ximen Yanyan.
In terms of beauty and figure, Qin Jiaojiao was slightly inferior to Yanyan.
Compared to Yanyan, Qin Jiaojiao's reputation was far inferior.
Although Yanyan was unruly, she was kind-hearted and cute.
Most importantly, Yanyan was very pure and self-loving.
As for Qin Jiaojiao, her reputation was spread far and wide. There were countless men who were involved in scandals with her.
Moreover, this girl loved to show her face in public. She was also known to be more open in her dressing and style.
Therefore, all in all, Qin Jiaojiao's reputation in the Northwest Continent wasn't very good.
She was already 23 years old and still hadn't found a husband.
Qin Jiaojiao first looked at Dugu Fengwu arrogantly with a trace of hostility in her eyes.
This was because the Third Lady Gongsun in front of her was too beautiful, too peerless, and had completely overshadowed her.
But soon, this hostility was replaced with arrogance.
Third Lady Gongsun was very famous, but Qin Jiaojiao still looked down on her. She was the second young mistress of the Qin Family.
Other than Dongfang Bingling and a few others, she felt that she had the right to look down on any woman in the world.
"You're that pretentious Nameless?" Qin Jiaojiao said coldly, "Pretending to be a Hidden Sect disciple?
You want us to give up the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? Dream on! "
Once she said that, everyone's expression changed, especially Qiu Wanjie.
This domineering woman was really big-breasted but brainless. She actually dared to speak ill of a Hidden Sect disciple.
"Jiaojiao, how dare you! Hurry up and apologize to Senior Brother Nameless," Qin Huaiyu said sternly.
"Who doesn't know that a Hidden Sect disciple hasn't appeared for hundreds of years? A random person holding a sword and wearing a leaf claims to be a Hidden Sect disciple to swindle others?
Only a foolish woman would believe it and be cheated of money and sex, "Qin Jiaojiao said coldly and glanced at Dugu Fengwu.
Dugu Fengwu's expression changed as she said coldly, "Manor Lord Qiu, Young Lord Qin, is this your attitude?
We understand. Goodbye! "
Qiu Wanjie wanted to give Qin Jiaojiao a slap and quickly said, "Calm down, calm down. Both of you, calm down."
Immediately after, Qiu Wanjie said to Qin Huaiyu, "Young Lord Qin, take care of your sister."
"Jiaojiao …" Qin Huaiyu's expression turned cold as he said coldly, "Get out now.
Once you return to Qin City, you will be imprisoned for half a year. "
Immediately after, he looked at Yang Dingtian with an ashamed expression. "Senior Brother Nameless, the Qin Clan has failed to discipline her properly. We have embarrassed ourselves in front of you."
Immediately after, Qin Huaiyu said to Qiu Wanjie, "Manor Lord Qiu, I am willing to give the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Senior Brother Nameless."
Qiu Wanjie's expression relaxed as he praised, "Young Lord Qin is truly of noble character and unquestionable integrity."
Qin Huaiyu waved his hand and said, "I am ashamed. To be able to befriend such an elegant person like Senior Brother Nameless is this Qin's honor.
The sword can be forged anytime, but to be able to meet Senior Brother Nameless is a once in a hundred years opportunity. "
Yang Dingtian didn't stand on ceremony and said indifferently, "Then I shall accept your kindness. Many thanks."
Qiu Wanjie had a delighted expression and said, "Then I shall go and get the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Young Lords, please wait for a moment."
"Senior Brother Nameless, please take a seat," Qin Huaiyu said.
Immediately after, the four of them sat down, and the servant girl served the fragrant tea again.
Qin Huaiyu glanced at Yang Dingtian casually while Qin Jiaojiao stared at Yang Dingtian without any concealment to see how he was going to taste the tea.
Those who were born in prestigious clans had a completely different understanding of fragrant tea.
To ordinary people, fragrant tea was like a sweet rain, but in the eyes of prestigious clans, it was like dregs.
In the eyes of ordinary people, bland and tasteless tea was precious and wonderful in the eyes of prestigious clans.
The Hidden Sect was undoubtedly the world's most prestigious clan, the true ruler of the world, and the leader of the Tiandō League.
The Divine Weapons Manor's tea was very fragrant and expensive!
However, it wasn't able to enter the eyes of the Qin Clan. In the eyes of the Qin Clan, the Divine Weapons Manor might have a great reputation, but it was still a weaponsmithing business and was born to be boorish.
Therefore, the more fragrant and expensive the tea, the better.
Therefore, the Qin siblings paid attention to Yang Dingtian's behavior when he drank tea and could directly determine Yang Dingtian's identity.
Dugu Fengwu's heart was anxious. This Qin Huaiyu was indeed a sly person and had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He could easily make people fall into his trap.
As such, Dugu Fengwu lifted the cup of fragrant tea in front of her and took a sip. She frowned slightly and placed it down.
This was actually a hint for Yang Dingtian to see.
Dingtian lifted the cup of fragrant tea in front of him and took a sip. It was indeed very fragrant. His eyes widened slightly as though he was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but take another sip.
"Fool, you exposed yourself." Dugu Fengwu's heart turned cold.
Qin Jiaojiao also revealed a cold smile.
"Senior Brother Nameless, what do you think of this tea?" Qin Huaiyu smiled and asked.
"Very good. I have never drunk such a delicious tea before. Previously, I drank plain water most of the time," Yang Dingtian said indifferently.
When he said this, he had a completely magnanimous expression as though he had never drunk such a delicious and expensive tea before.
But his performance was undoubtedly better than what Dugu Fengwu had planned. This kind of simplicity seemed to be more suitable for the Hidden Sect's disciples. Compared to the pretentious disciples from prestigious clans, it was much more brilliant and natural.
Therefore, Qin Huaiyu instantly fell into a state of confusion.
Qiu Wanjie quickly returned with a hammer in his hand.
This was the legendary Mystic Fire Devil Hammer?
The only thing that could forge soul swords was the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, which was made entirely out of Bloody Black Gold.
It looked very ordinary, and if it was thrown into a pile of hammers, it would be hard to notice.
But after taking a closer look, one would notice that this black hammer was permeated with a red color, as though fresh blood had seeped into the hammer.
That's right, this was the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer.
Without it, Yang Dingtian wouldn't be able to forge the youngling sword.
"Young Lord Qin, are you sure you want to give this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Young Lord Nameless?" Qiu Wanjie asked.
"Of course, please!" Qin Huaiyu replied.
Qiu Wanjie immediately passed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Yang Dingtian and said, "Congratulations to Young Lord Nameless for successfully forging the soul sword."
"Thank you!" Yang Dingtian wasn't pretentious and extended his hand to receive the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer.
"Hold on …" Qin Jiaojiao said coldly, "I haven't agreed to it."
Following which, Qin Jiaojiao walked in front of Yang Dingtian and said, "A Hidden Sect disciple hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. I don't believe that one appeared today. You guys might be intimidated, but I won't be intimidated."
Qiu Wanjie couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted coldly, "Young Lady Qin, please conduct yourself with dignity."
"Qin Jiaojiao, back down. Don't force me to make a move," Qin Huaiyu said coldly.
"No, I won't give up this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer." Qin Jiaojiao said coldly, "Even if it's a Hidden Sect disciple, there should be a first come, first served rule.
We are here to borrow it first, and Manor Lord Qiu has already agreed.
Then, a so-called Hidden Sect disciple appeared, and you, Qiu Wanjie, immediately went back on your word. You are really looking at the mountain higher than the mountain.
You don't dare to offend the Hidden Sect, but you dare to offend my Northwest Qin Clan. "
