In his dreams, Guhan's mind kept replaying the slash from before. The slash came at Guhan from different angles and directions. Guhan fought against the slash again and again in his dreams. He only woke up when he was exhausted.
"Guhan, you're awake!"
The voice sounded familiar, and Guhan's heart skipped a beat. He opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed Rena Takasaka.
Guhan immediately looked at his Purple Palace. When he saw that Qing Pin's slash was still intact, he heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Rena Takasaka. "Since you're here, does this mean that the Liu Nian Family isn't going to hide it from me anymore? Or is the Liu Nian Family going to kill me?"
"Guhan, I had no choice back then. I had no intention of harming you!
I only wanted to bring Lady Qing Pin back. That's something that belongs to the Liu Nian Family's ancestor, "Rena Takasaka said with her head lowered.
"What a joke. Everything else can be considered an inheritance, but the Sword Maiden belongs to the virtuous. It's not something that belongs to a single family. She's a treasure of the entire human race. Your Liu Nian Family might be powerful, but you don't have the ability to take the Sword Maiden for yourself."
"What's the point of saying all this now?
It's already happened! "
Rena Takasaka pinched the corner of Guhan's blanket. "If you hate me, you can kill me now. I won't blame you."
"I won't kill you. I'll only kill you in the Liu Nian Family if there's something wrong with my head …" Guhan looked at Rena Takasaka's calm expression and sighed. "I can let go of the hatred between us.
Since you've appeared before me, it means that the Liu Nian Family has no intention of lying to me.
Although I don't know why the Liu Nian Family is doing this, I feel that you have no ill intentions towards me.
"Since the Liu Nian Family has no ill intentions towards me, I won't dare to make things difficult for the number one family in the world. From today onwards, we can let bygones be bygones. Furthermore, I have a favor to ask of you. How would I dare to do anything to you?"
"Do you men always chase after benefits when solving problems?"
Rena Takasaka sighed. "Grandpa is like that, master is like that, you are like that, and so am I. In the entire Liunian Family, only Ling is clean."
"…" Guhan did not know how to answer Reina Takasaka's question, so he remained silent. After a while, he asked, "What time is it now?
Where was Ling?
Can I go pick up your Old Patriarch? "
"It's 4 o 'clock in the afternoon. The Old Patriarch has ordered that you can see him whenever you want. As for Miss Ling, I'm sorry, but I don't know where she is. She hasn't appeared since she was called by the Old Patriarch last night. If you need anything, you can look for me. I'm of the same use as Ling."
"Really?" Guhan lowered his head and thought for a while. "Then take me to see the old patriarch!"
…
"May I ask if Wang Qiannian lives here?"
Koo Rok-in pressed the doorbell in front of him. After waiting for three to four minutes, a meek girl answered, "Sir Wang Qiannian does live here. Why are you looking for him?"
"It's like this. I'm from Yuzhang City, and I've heard a lot about Comrade Wang Qiannian. I'd like to spar with him. Is that possible?"
It was rare for Koo Rok-in to speak so tactfully. He did not act like a chuunibyou anymore.
"My master is out on a mission. He's not at home!" the girl replied.
"Out on a mission?
When did he go out? "Koo Rok-in panicked.
"I went out before six o 'clock this morning. It seems that something urgent happened. Anyway, my master is not at home, so I can't open the door for you. Please forgive me!" After that, the maid turned off the intercom.
"I!"
After hearing the answer, Koo Rok-in's face turned purple. He drew out his sword and chopped the guardrail of the stairs in anger. The guardrail, which was made of alloy steel, was cut into two pieces.
"Shasha, let's go!"
Although Koo Rok-in was furious, he could only say "go". But why did he add a person's name in front of him?
Could it be that someone else came with him?
Sure enough, as soon as Koo Rok-in's voice fell, a cute little girl jumped down from the stairs. She jumped up like a bird when she was about seven or eight stairs away from Koo Rok-in. She threw herself at Koo Rok-in and kissed Koo Rok-in's face. "Dad, don't be angry. Shasha is a good girl!"
"I'm not angry … Dad isn't angry … No … I'm not angry!"
Koo Rok-in couldn't maintain the anger on his face after Shasha called him dad. He lovingly held Shasha in his arms and left the building step by step.
This was the 19th person that Koo Rok-in had visited. There were a total of 20 names on the list that the waiter gave to Koo Rok-in yesterday.
Since this morning, Koo Rok-in began to visit the people on the list according to the distance.
Although Koo Rok-in was very confident in himself, he couldn't help but worry if he could defeat these opponents when he started to visit these people.
But soon, this worry disappeared without a trace because Koo Rok-in couldn't find his opponents.
When Koo Rok-in went to the first person on the list, that person told Koo Rok-in that he was busy with an urgent matter and would only have time to see him in about a month.
It was normal for people to be busy with their own matters, so Koo Rok-in didn't care at first.
Then the second person on the list told Koo Rok-in that he didn't want to compete with people from Yuzhang City and asked Koo Rok-in to find someone else.
There was no other way, the second person didn't want to see Koo Rok-in at all. Koo Rok-in had to find the third person, but the third person's sword maiden was already damaged and was being repaired by a blacksmith. She also asked Koo Rok-in to find her in a month.
Everyone could imagine what happened next. Koo Rok-in visited a total of ten opponents, but each of them had various reasons to tell Koo Rok-in that they had other important matters to attend to and didn't have time to spar with Koo Rok-in.
Now, no matter how careless Koo Rok-in was, he realized that it wasn't that they didn't have time at all. They were just looking for excuses to avoid him and didn't want to spar with him. This made Koo Rok-in extremely irritable.
If he lost to his opponent, Koo Rok-in would accept it wholeheartedly and wouldn't complain.
But why were they hiding from him?
Were all the Famed Sword Bearers in Yanjing City cowards?
Could it be that Sword Immortal Tian Hong secretly ordered them to do this?
He actually used such a despicable method to prevent himself from synchronizing with Gou Jian, the King of Yue!
Koo Rok-in instinctively began to suspect that the mastermind was Sword Immortal Tian Hong. The reason was very good: Sword Immortal Tian Hong was afraid of Koo Rok-in's strength. He was afraid that Koo Rok-in would be able to synchronize with Gou Jian, the King of Yue.
As a result, Sword Immortal Tian Hong became the innocent scapegoat. Although he really didn't want Koo Rok-in to obtain Gou Jian, those who were familiar with Sword Immortal Tian Hong's personality would know that Sword Immortal Tian Hong would never use such methods.
If he really wanted to stop Koo Rok-in, he would use his irresistible strength to personally strangle Koo Rok-in's hope. Of course, Koo Rok-in didn't expect the mastermind to be the Liu Nian Clan's old patriarch, the old man who had once given him the Legend of Kenzu. This old man had been Koo Rok-in's idol when he was young.

"Daddy, are we going home?
It's so boring today. We keep walking. It's so boring. "
The little loli named Sha Sha sat on the giant's neck with her chin on Ju Luren's head and said in a bored manner.
"Come with daddy to another place!
If the people here still don't want to see me, then we'll go back to where we live! "Koo Rok-in patted Sha Sha's butt and said with a bitter smile.
…
"Please come in. The old patriarch is inside!"
Rena Takasaka pushed open the door to the small room where Fleeting Wooden Fish and Nie Gai had talked the night before. Guhan strode into the room and saw a skinny old man smiling at him in front of a fireplace.
"He's the Liu Nian Clan's old patriarch, Fleeting Wooden Fish!" Guhan couldn't help but compare the person before him to the Fleeting Wooden Fish in the publicity materials.
The Fleeting Wooden Fish in the publicity materials was an energetic old man with an extraordinary aura. His eyes were filled with the domineering aura of a king.
However, the Fleeting Wooden Fish now had an amiable expression on his face. He looked no different from the old man next door.
"Junior Guhan pays his respects to Senior Fleeting Wooden Fish!"
Guhan bowed respectfully. Logically speaking, Guhan should address him as Senior Wooden Fish instead of Senior Fleeting Wooden Fish. It was impolite to address him by his full name.
However, everyone in the world knew that even though Fleeting Time Wooden Fish was called Wooden Fish, he hated it when people called him Wooden Fish. If anyone dared to call him Wooden Fish, he would turn hostile on the spot, so Gu Han decided to call him by his full name.
"So you're the kid from the Gu Clan? Not bad, not bad. Come in. It's warmer here!"
Fleeting Wooden Fish waved at Guhan kindly. Guhan did not decline. He walked up to Fleeting Wooden Fish and sat on a cushion behind him.
"…"
"…"
Although Fleeting Wooden Fish kindly invited Guhan to sit down, Fleeting Wooden Fish did not say a word after Guhan sat down. Guhan did not take the initiative to speak either. As a result, the entire room was deathly silent.
