"Well … the item … is indeed with me!"
Guhan said with a conflicted and hesitant expression. When the Great Sun Sword Immortal heard Guhan's words, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Guhan wouldn't admit that the Natural Sword Ladies were with Guhan.
This was because only Guhan and Li Bai knew about Guhan's infiltration of the Glastonbury outpost. Li Bai was with Guhan. If Guhan insisted that he didn't get anything from the outpost, then the Great Sun Sword Immortal really wouldn't have any evidence to prove that the item was with Guhan.
Perhaps when the time came, Yuankou of the Martyr's Palace would jump out and say that Gu Han had stolen those natural sword ladies, but as long as Gu Han insisted that this was Yuankou's ploy, purposely to sow discord between him and Yanjing City, and incite civil strife among humans, then the Great Sun Sword Immortal would still have no evidence to prove this.
So if Guhan didn't admit it, the Great Sun Sword Immortal really wouldn't be able to do anything.
Now that Guhan had admitted it, it was easy. Actually, the Great Sun Sword Immortal already had three cameras on him to record his conversation with Guhan. This would be used as evidence in the future.
As long as Guhan admitted it now, it would be irrefutable evidence. Guhan wouldn't be able to deny it even if he wanted to.
"That's great!
That's great!
Your Majesty, please return the item to us! "
A few drops of tears flowed from the corner of the Great Sun Sword Immortal's eyes. He then stretched out his empty hand and placed it in front of Guhan.
"Return what to you?"
Guhan looked confused. This made the Great Sun Sword Immortal's heart clench. He immediately said nervously, "Of course it's the Natural Sword Ladies that Your Majesty saved. These Natural Sword Ladies originally belonged to Yan Jing City. Naturally, they should be returned to their rightful owners!"
"Oh!
So that's how it is! "
Guhan nodded, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "You people from Yan Jing City really have a good plan. You want to ask me to take the things away without any evidence? You can't do this, right?"
"I understand!"
The Great Sun Sword Immortal's face revealed a hint of bitterness. It seemed like his initial plan to take back the item without paying anything had been a little too good. Guhan had taken the item back, and he had not done anything in return. That was indeed a little too petty.
Forget it, since the responsibility is on me, I'll settle it myself!
Therefore, the Great Sun Sword Immortal said solemnly and righteously, "Your Majesty, the Sea Emperor's great kindness, I, the Great Sun Sword Immortal, will never forget. From now on, Your Majesty, the Sea Emperor's matters are my matters. Even if Your Majesty, the Sea Emperor, wants my life, I will not dare to disobey. From now on, if Your Majesty, the Sea Emperor has any orders, as long as I, the Great Sun Sword Immortal, am still alive, I will definitely not refuse!"
The Great Sun Sword Immortal's words sounded righteous and unyielding, as if he was offering himself up to the Sea Emperor.
But in reality, the Great Sun Sword Immortal knew very well that these were just words that sounded nice. Did Gu Han have the guts to order him around, to make him, the chairman of the Yan Jing City Sword Committee, work for him with his life on the line?
This kind of thing might happen once or twice, but if it happened too many times, not to mention what kind of discussions it would cause in society, even Guhan himself would feel embarrassed!
Therefore, the Great Sun Sword Immortal believed that Guhan would not give him too many orders. It was even possible that he would not give any orders at all.
As for the reason, it was very simple. It was because Guhan's strength was too high.
As a Spiritual Sword level sword wielder, he was only second to an Emperor Sword level sword wielder. From the looks of it, it would be a piece of cake for Guhan to become an Immortal Sword level sword wielder.
And when Guhan became an Immortal Sword, his strength would probably be comparable to an Emperor Sword level sword wielder. Although he was the strongest among the Immortal Sword level sword wielder, compared to Guhan's strength, there was already a huge gap.
If he could do it, so could Guhan. There was no need for him to trouble him.
And if even Guhan could not do it, then it was even more impossible for him to do it. Guhan would not use this kind of thing to make things difficult for him.
Therefore, although the Great Sun Sword Immortal's words sounded very beautiful, they did not mean much. The Great Sun Sword Immortal felt that he would at most be ordered around by Guhan once or twice. Such a simple condition in exchange for all the Natural Sword Ladies. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good deal!
Moreover, this also sounded very prestigious. The dignified chairman of the Yan Jing City Sword Committee took the initiative to give himself to Envoy Gu Han. How much face did he give to Gu Han? After hearing this condition, shouldn't he happily return the things to him?
Unfortunately, the Great Sun Sword Immortal was wrong. Because Guhan was not someone who would be fooled by such superficial things. What the Great Sun Sword Immortal could think of, how could it be hidden from Guhan's eyes?
"There's no need to say more. This doesn't mean much to me. To put it bluntly, I don't think much of the Great Sun Sword Immortal's ability!"
Guhan said indifferently. And this unceremonious and merciless sentence made the Great Sun Sword Immortal's face turn as black as a large piece of rag.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" The Great Sun Sword Immortal said darkly.
"Great Sun Sword Immortal, do you not understand what I mean?
Should I say it directly? "
Guhan looked at the Great Sun Golden Immortal's clothes, which were decorated with many transparent gems, and smiled. "If I say the truth, it won't be good if it's recorded in a video!"
"This guy knows I have a video camera on me!"
The Great Sun Sword Immortal was shocked. At the same time, his body felt a little cold. In order to hide the small video camera on him, he had specially chosen this set of clothes with all kinds of gems. He did not expect that Guhan would see through it.
However, the Great Sun Sword Immortal was not willing to be attacked by Guhan just like that. Right now, Guhan was still a spiritual sword rank sword wielder, and he was still an immortal sword rank sword wielder. He did not believe that his strength was really useless against Guhan!
"Your Majesty, I may not be as strong as Your Majesty, but I'm sure there's a limit to the difference. Your Majesty, please have a try with me. If my strength is really too far from Your Majesty's, then I won't dare to shamelessly say that I can help Your Majesty!" Great Sun Sword Immortal said.
"Interesting!"
Guhan revealed a playful smile. "Then may I ask, Great Sun Sword Immortal, what kind of difference would be considered limited?"
"This …" The Great Sun Sword Immortal was a little hesitant. It was easy to say this, but it was difficult to put it into practice. The Great Sun Sword Immortal really did not know what kind of difference would be considered limited … The book did not mention how much difference there was between an immortal sword rank and a spiritual sword rank sword wielder!
No, the book did mention it, but it said that an immortal sword rank sword wielder was much stronger than a spiritual sword rank sword wielder, but it did not say how much stronger a spiritual sword rank sword wielder would be compared to an immortal sword wielder.
At this thought, the Great Sun Sword Immortal felt his face burning. He was probably the first immortal sword wielder in history to think about the difference in strength between him and a spiritual sword wielder!
But the Great Sun Sword Immortal had no choice but to consider this question. Because when they had attacked Gu Han on the street, although all the immortal sword bearers had held back and not used their true strength, they had still used at least 50% of their strength. From that moment on, the Great Sun Sword Immortal knew that he was no match for Gu Han.
"Sir!
Sir!
You've thought for so long, it's time for you to give me an answer! "Guhan's voice urged in the Great Sun Sword Immortal's ear.
"Three … two … one hour!
If I can last an hour against Your Majesty the Sea King, then it means that Your Majesty the Sea King and I aren't too far apart in strength. What do you think, Your Majesty the Sea King? "The Great Sun Sword Immortal said through gritted teeth.
Under normal circumstances, it was normal for two immortal sword wielder to fight for three days and three nights. But in his own words, there was only one hour left … Although this was said by the Great Sun Sword Immortal himself, the Great Sun Sword Immortal still felt very ashamed.
"One hour!"
Guhan's expression became noncommittal. Even a week ago, if he used all his strength, the Great Sun Sword Immortal would not be able to last an hour, let alone now.
"Sir!
I've just crawled out of bed, and you want me to fight you? That's a little inappropriate.
How about this, I'll show you something. After you see it, if you think it's about the same as mine, then I'll fight you! "Guhan said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Although the Great Sun Sword Immortal did not know what Guhan had up his sleeve, he still agreed readily.
"Mm!"
Guhan smiled and nodded. "Today, I'll invite the Great Sun Sword Immortal to have a look at my swordmaidens!"
As Guhan spoke, he clapped his hands. From all the rooms in the presidential suite flew out blinding rays of sword light. When all the sword lights stopped, the Great Sun Sword Immortal realized that there were swordmaidens floating beside Guhan.
"This Guhan, why is he showing off his swordmaidens now?"
The Great Sun Sword Immortal muttered. With an awkward smile, he said to Guhan, "Your Majesty, I know you have a lot of swordmaidens. You don't have to take them out to embarrass me!"
"No, I'm not trying to embarrass you. I just want you to count how many swordmaidens I have." Guhan smiled.
"What's there to count … Everyone in this world knows that Your Majesty has eight swordmaidens!" the Great Sun Sword Immortal said, confused.
"Count them!
It's not too late to count before you speak! "Gu Han squinted his eyes and said.
"This, alright …" The Great Sun Sword Immortal was helpless. Since Guhan had requested this, he could only do as he was told. Then he carefully looked at the swordmaidens floating in front of him … and then beads of sweat covered the Great Sun Sword Immortal's face.
