"Ling, this matter is very complicated, and I can't tell you the details. You just need to know that I need to get the black hair to get a swordmistress. Otherwise, I'll live in guilt for the rest of my life. I can't let her down!"
Guhan's reply to Liunian Ling's persuasion was very simple, so simple that Liunian Ling couldn't find any words to persuade him.
"Alright then!
Although we're friends, I have to tell you that the black hair is too precious.
It's not up to me to decide whether to give it to you. It has to be decided by my grandfather. The most I can do is introduce you. You'll have to rely on yourself for the rest. "
Liunian Ling gave up on persuading Guhan. However, her next words made it clear that she wouldn't help Guhan too much on this matter. She was only going to introduce him.
However, this was already a very important role. It was practically impossible for ordinary people to meet the previous family head of the Liu Nian Family, who was the person in charge of the Liu Nian Family.
Only when one became a spirit sword wielder could they request to visit the Liu Nian family. As for whether the Liu Nian family would be willing to meet them, that was not certain!
"We'll talk about the black hair later. Let's go eat first!" Liunian Ling said.
"No, I have to go now. This matter can't be delayed!" Guhan suddenly said.
"Why is that?
It's almost five in the afternoon. Even if you leave now, it'll be dark by the time you reach the Liu Nian family. My grandfather won't see you then. "Liunian Ling was confused.
"If I leave now, I'll be able to see your grandfather tomorrow morning. But if I leave tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll only be able to see your grandfather tomorrow afternoon. There's a difference of half a day. It's enough for me to make a trip back to Yanjing City." Guhan said hurriedly.
"Is half a day that important to you?"
Liunian Ling was even more confused when she heard Guhan's words. "Then why did you stay in the Fourth Ring for so long this morning?
If you left at that time, you might have already seen my grandfather. "
"I don't know why either.
When I was in the interrogation room just now, I had an ominous feeling in my heart. I must get my hands on the Black Hair Severing as soon as possible! "
Guhan's voice actually trembled a little. Just like what Guhan had said, when he was in the interrogation room just now, his heart inexplicably fluctuated, as if something very important was being taken away by someone else.
Guhan instinctively thought of the King of Yue, Gou Jian Jian, who was currently in the Sword Pavilion in Yan Jing City. He did not want to delay any longer.
"Ridiculous!" Liunian Ling glared at Guhan with dissatisfaction. She instinctively wanted to reject Guhan.
But on second thought, if they set off tonight, wouldn't Guhan be able to stay at his house for the night?
Fleeting Time's body heated up at the thought of this, and his words of rejection became something else. "Alright then, I'll give it to you.
I'll just work a little harder, as if I owed you in my previous life! "
Song Yifei had been listening to the conversation between Guhan and Liunian Ling silently. She wanted to interrupt, but she had no idea how.
She only knew a little about the Black Hair Severing.
Moreover, the Black Hair Severing was from Liunian Ling's family. Song Yifei's family did not have such a treasure. No matter how much she said, it would be useless. How could she help Guhan at all?
"If only I had the Green Hair Severing Sword!"
Song Yifei thought silently, but it was just a thought. She knew that she could not possibly have such a precious thing.
However, Song Yifei did not expect that the two of them would actually decide to rush to the Liu Nian Clan overnight while they were talking.
"Guhan … Why don't you guys eat before you leave … I've prepared a big table at home …" Song Yifei said weakly.
"Oh, Yifei, you can eat by yourself. Don't wait for me.
I'll try your cooking if I have the chance in the future! "
Guhan did not understand Song Yifei's thoughts. However, even if Guhan did understand, his answer would not change.
"Alright … I wish you all the best." What else could Song Yifei do?
She could only say reluctantly.
"Xihua, you can go with Yifei for now. Stay at her place for now. I'll come to see you when I get back."
Guhan entrusted Xihua to Song Yifei, then jogged with Liunian Ling towards the nearest train station.
"Bastard!" Song Yifei silently shed two thin tears as she watched Guhan and Liunian Ling leave.
…
"Why can't I coordinate with the King of Yue, Gou Jian Jian?"
In a Sword Pavilion that occupied a much larger area than the Sword Pavilion in Yuzhang City, Ju Lvren quarreled with a waiter. There was a glass cover beside him, which protected the real King of Yue, Gou Jian Jian.
"Lord Swordsman!
I've already explained that the King of Yue's Goujian Sword is not within the scope of the Sword Maiden that you can synchronize with. If you want to synchronize with the King of Yue's Goujian Sword, you must obtain the approval of our Pavilion Master. "
The waiter explained patiently, but there was a hint of mockery on his face, as if he was mocking Koo Rok-in for overestimating himself.
"How could this be?
I clearly saw that person touch the King of Yue's Gou Jian Sword. Did he also get the Lord Pavilion Master's approval? "Koo Rok-in's face was full of anger.
"That lord is different from you. He is the sword-bearer of our Swallow Capital City. Naturally, he can touch the King of Yue's Gou Jian Sword without permission.
But you're different. You're a sword-bearer from Yuzhang City, so you need to get permission from our Pavilion Master before you can touch some of the swordmaidens. "
"Nonsense!
How come I've never heard of this rule before? "
Koo Rok-in was even more furious. "Our Yuzhang City has never had such a rule. When have your people ever come to synchronize with the Sword Maidens of our Sword Pavilion? We've never stopped you and allowed you to synchronize with them. Why is it that when it comes to us, we have to get permission?"
"Lord Swordsman, please don't be angry!
This is a new rule that was set half a month ago. It's normal that you don't know about it, "the waiter said with a smile.
"Perhaps you don't know about it, but our Sword Pavilion Master took over half a month ago. The current Sword Pavilion Master is Sword Immortal Tian Hen.
Our Sword Immortal Tian Hen said that Yuzhang City is on the decline. It would be a waste to hand over such a good Sword Maiden to Yuzhang City. It's better to leave it with the sword-bearers of our Swallow Capital City. That way, it'll be worth it. "
Koo Rok-in had heard about Sword Immortal Tian Hen from the sword-bearers of Swallow Capital City when they were eating.
Sword Immortal Tian Hen was the disciple of Sword Immortal Six Paths, the original Sword Pavilion Master of Swallow Capital City. Eighteen days ago, he synchronized with the Sword Maiden of Immortal Sword Tier and became an Immortal Sword Tier sword-bearer. He was also the first Immortal Sword Tier sword-bearer this year.
As a result, Swallow Capital City had a total of seven Immortal Sword Tier sword-bearers, and the total number of Immortal Sword Tier sword-bearers returned to 18, filling the gap left by Sword Immortal Bai Stallion's death.
The total number of Sword Tier sword-bearers in Swallow Capital City was more than one-third of the total number of the eight base cities. Compared to the pitiful one person in Yuzhang City, Swallow Capital City's strength had reached a terrifying level.
The waiter continued, "Although Sword Immortal Tian Hen's words are a little harsh, they are all true. Your Yuzhang City is really getting worse. Not only is there only one Immortal Sword Tier sword-bearer left, but I heard that you've recently made an ordinary person the Sword Pavilion Master. This is really too much. It's a complete disgrace to the eight base cities as well as the Sword Pavilion.
When Sword Immortal Tian Hen heard this news, he immediately issued this order.
"Sword Immortal Tian Hen said that since you don't care about the Sword Pavilion, why don't you hand over all the Sword Maidens in the Sword Pavilion and let Swallow Capital City keep them together?
As long as you're willing to hand over all the Sword Maidens in the Sword Pavilion, Sword Immortal Tian Hen can revoke this rule and everyone can go on as usual!
Otherwise, the people of Yuzhang City are not allowed to touch the Sword Maidens ranked 800 or above in the Ancient Sword Record, 400 or above in the Treasured Sword Record, and 100 or above in the Famed Sword Record. "
"I …" Koo Rok-in was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It turned out that all of this was on Guhan. If he hadn't stubbornly appointed Lu Xihua as the Sword Pavilion Master, Swallow Capital City's Sword Pavilion wouldn't have prevented him from synchronizing with the King of Yue, Gou Jian Jian.
"You're giving me ridiculous orders!
This order is against the Sword Bearers' Convention. I'm going to complain to the Sword Council! "
Koo Rok-in's eyes were about to spit fire. "The Sword Bearers' Convention states that no city's Sword Pavilion can restrict the sword-bearers of other cities based on the affiliation of the sword-bearers. This order of yours is a serious violation of the Sword Bearers' Convention. You'll regret it!"
"You've memorized the Sword Bearers' Convention quite well …" The waiter muttered softly. "Don't be so anxious!
Sword Immortal Tian Hen didn't say that you couldn't synchronize with him at all.
He just didn't want those sword-bearers with no strength and only dumb luck to obtain those powerful Sword Ladies. "
"It's not impossible for you to synchronize with the King of Yue, Gou Jian Jian. As long as you can defeat anyone on this list, we'll allow you to synchronize with the King of Yue, Gou Jian Jian Jian Jian!" The waiter handed a booklet to Koo Rok-in.
Koo Rok-in hurriedly flipped open the booklet and saw that there were twenty names on it.
"What's the meaning of this?" Koo Rok-in asked.
"These are the top twenty sword-bearers of Swallow Capital City. As long as you can defeat any one of them, we'll acknowledge your strength," the waiter explained.
"Why didn't you give me this booklet in the first place?
Did you decide not to tell me? "Koo Rok-in asked angrily.
"I'd have given it to you for free!"
The waiter chuckled. "These are all peerless experts. It's fine if you just look at their names. You can only dream about defeating them.
I was afraid that you'd feel even more despair if you saw them, so I didn't give them to you. "
