…
After resting in bed for an entire day, Qin Fang was finally considered to have truly recovered, and his spirit had also recovered to its peak state.
When Qin Fang walked out of Xu Jiao's room, everyone he met looked at him with a very worshipful gaze, which made him feel strange …
"Big Brother Qin …"
What was even stranger was that even Xu Zixiao, who had been taught a lesson by Qin Fang, greeted him politely and with a face full of smiles when he saw him.
To be honest, Xu Zixiao was several years older than Qin Fang, but he took the initiative to call him that now, which was indeed very rare …
However, the martial arts world was like this. Whoever had the biggest fist had the highest status.
The Xu Family was also a martial arts family, so they were naturally very clear about this kind of rule … The strength that erupted from the battle between Qin Fang and Lu Tianfeng was probably something that no three experts in the entire Xu Family could contend against.
It was estimated that only the two sword practitioners at the peak of the Grandmaster Level could barely fight against him … If it was a normal competition, Qin Fang might lose, but if it was a life-and-death battle, the two from the Xu Family were obviously not enough to deal with him.
Originally, with Qin Fang's strength, Xu Zixiao had to respectfully address him as Senior … However, Qin Fang unexpectedly pushed Xu Jiao down, so he could not call him Senior anymore and could only be considered Xu Zixiao's peer.
It was somewhat inappropriate to call him Brother-in-law, so he might as well just call him Big Brother Qin … Although Qin Fang and Xu Jiao were both younger than him, who asked them to be so powerful?
Regarding this, Qin Fang could only agree helplessly. The Xu Family's internal strife could be considered to have been completely resolved because of his participation. As the saying went, one should not slap a smiling face, so he had to give Xu Zixiao and the others some face.
"Young Master Qin …"
Qin Fang casually walked around the Xu Family's manor. Everyone who saw him had to greet him politely and respectfully. Even those sword cultivator experts with high status were the same, and they only lacked the courtesy of a disciple.
"Where is Jiaojiao now?"
Qin Fang was also rather helpless about this. Xu Zizhen had important things to take care of and temporarily did not have time to accompany him, so he could only stroll around by himself. Coincidentally, he bumped into the old sword cultivator and could not help but ask.
"He's breaking through in seclusion in the training room …"
This old man seemed to have specially come to find Qin Fang, so he naturally didn't hide Xu Jiao's situation from Qin Fang.
"I'll go check on her …"
Seeing this old man hesitating to speak, Qin Fang knew that he most likely wanted to ask about the Slaughter Sword Intent, so he didn't give the old man a chance to speak and directly went to look for Xu Jiao.
The old man could only shake his head rather helplessly. He could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue and lead Qin Fang to find Xu Jiao.
"Breakthrough …"
When they were about to arrive at the training room, Qin Fang suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze also looked ahead as he incomparably calmly spat out these few words … That old sword cultivator was the same. He also felt Xu Jiao's powerful Master Stage aura.
In the entire Xu Family, there were only a few experts who had reached the Master Stage, and they were all very familiar with each other … This somewhat unfamiliar yet extremely powerful aura clearly indicated that Xu Jiao had succeeded in breaking through.
"Looks like we don't have to go in … Let's go!"
Xu Jiao had broken through, so the next step was to consolidate her cultivation. Qin Fang could not help much, and rashly going in would instead have some impact on Xu Jiao. Naturally, Qin Fang did not continue and turned to leave.
"Young Master Qin, about the Slaughter Sword Intent …"
After avoiding Xu Jiao's matter, the old man finally had a chance to discuss these matters with Qin Fang in detail.
"I think you should have already guessed that the Blooddrinker Sword has indeed fallen into my hands, but …"
However, just as the old man opened his mouth, Qin Fang waved his hand and interrupted him. Moreover, he directly admitted to this matter and gave a simple explanation of why he appeared in the Xu Family's forbidden area … As for whether the Xu Family believed it or not, it was not within the scope of Qin Fang's consideration.
"The Blooddrinker Sword is extremely strange. Ordinary people are simply unable to control it. Even I … was almost struck by it. Fortunately, I had another treasure to protect me, so I was able to luckily withstand it. Moreover, I relied on this sword to comprehend the Slaughter Sword Intent!"
He did not conceal the matter of how he comprehended the Slaughter Sword Intent. So many people had seen it at that time, and if he continued to conceal it, then he would really take everyone in the world for fools …
"Since it's like this, then forget it … That sword is extremely strange. If possible, it's best to use it sparingly!"
After knowing the cause and effect, the old man did not pursue the matter and only gave a simple reminder. Clearly, he did not wish for Qin Fang to be affected by the terrifying Slaughter Qi on that sword.
The matter of the Blooddrinker Sword was resolved with just a few words. Even Qin Fang himself was rather surprised by this.
However, the Xu Family had obviously wanted to deal with this sword for a long time. It was just that they did not have a suitable method to deal with it. Now that the sword was taken away by Qin Fang, not only were they not sad, they were instead relieved.
If the Blooddrinker Sword was still in the Sword Catacomb, no one could guarantee that no one in the Xu Family would be tempted … Once they were tempted, the consequences would be unimaginable. Because of this sword, many of the Xu Family's direct descendants had already fallen.
Not only was Qin Fang not guilty of taking away the sword, but it was also considered a meritorious deed …
The reason why the Xu Family was so nervous before was that they were afraid that the Slaughter Sword Intent would create a killing maniac. However, Qin Fang had a way to control this sword, so they became much more relaxed.
"Someone from the Lu Family has come …"
Moreover, the arrival of a piece of news diverted the Xu Family's attention slightly.
"They really came …"
After receiving this news, regardless of whether it was Qin Fang or the Xu Family, they were no exception.
Lu Tianfeng was the direct descendant of the Lu Family's patriarch and was also the most favored one. But now … he had come to the Xu Family's birthday celebration, but in the end, a joyous occasion turned into a funeral. The Lu Family absolutely could not be completely indifferent.
Denouncing them was child's play. They probably had an even bigger backup plan!
"Let's go take a look together!"
Of course, Qin Fang did not have the slightest intention of evading. This matter was originally instigated by him, and now that he and the Xu Family had such a relationship because of Xu Jiao, it was not justifiable for him to stay on the sidelines. Thus, he took the initiative to go.
"Right, this is for you …"
Hearing Qin Fang's words, the old man was very happy. Then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately threw something to Qin Fang.
"This is …"
Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, but he still caught that thing in his hand. He reacted with one look. "So it's this … How could I have forgotten about him?
No wonder I kept feeling like something was missing. "
What did the old man throw to Qin Fang?
Naturally, it was the bet that Qin Fang made with Lu Tianfeng. It was the pendant that once hung around Lu Tianfeng's neck …
This pendant was the bet that had been placed with the judges in advance, so it did not accompany Lu Tianfeng to be destroyed by Qin Fang's sword energy. Instead, it remained … and Qin Fang won that competition, so this bet was naturally his.
It was just that he had been lying in bed previously, and with the sudden addition of Xu Jiao's matter, he had neglected this battle trophy … Now that the old man had given it to him, he finally remembered.
Under the old man's strange gaze, Qin Fang very casually put this pendant into his pocket … as if he did not care too much about it.
But in reality, he had already thrown this pendant into the prop box. It was the safest place to put it.
"Let's go …"
The old man observed Qin Fang's reaction and did not see anything unusual. Thus, he did not say anything else and went with Qin Fang to meet the person from the Lu Family.
In fact, the Xu Family had also suspected that there was something wrong with Lu Tianfeng's pendant. Taking advantage of the time when Qin Fang had yet to wake up, they had specially gathered several experts to study it together. However, they did not discover anything in the end. It was just an ordinary jade.
But they thought that since Qin Fang had used an elixir as a bet for this pendant, this pendant must be very valuable … which made them even more curious.
However, seeing Qin Fang's indifferent appearance, the old man also felt that they were thinking too much.
He reckoned that Qin Fang simply wanted to win a battle trophy. Although Lu Tianfeng had many good things on him, the only thing that could be considered valuable was this pendant … Qin Fang reckoned that he had seen it and only said so. In fact, he did not take it to heart at all.
Thinking of this, the old man was relieved and did not think in other directions.
"They are all fools. Their discerning eyes can't recognize jade …"
Seeing that the old man did not take this pendant seriously, Qin Fang also let nature take its course. However, he could not help but laugh in his heart. He really wanted to despise these old men of the Xu Family. "You actually don't even recognize the Star Tear …"
That's right, the pendant on Lu Tianfeng's neck was not an ordinary jade, but a very rare treasure … called the Star Tear.
The Star Tear was known as the tear of the stars, and its value was definitely not to be underestimated.
However, it seemed that only a few people could recognize this kind of legendary treasure. That was why Qin Fang was able to get such a great bargain.
Although the pendant was in the shape of jade and the Star Tear was wrapped in it, the principle was very similar to that of amber … In fact, the Star Tear was in liquid form, condensed into droplets of essence.
It was said that every Star Tear was a star billions of years ago … It had experienced growth and fall, and in the end, only a little of its essence remained to form such a Star Tear. It was easy to imagine how high its value was.
Every drop of Star Tear was a priceless treasure. It could be used to make medicine, and it could also be used to refine weapons … As long as a little bit of it was added, the pills, weapons, and defensive equipment that could be refined would be extremely, extremely powerful!
