One minute, five minutes, ten minutes …
One hour, two hours, two hours and ten minutes … Cough cough, the sky would turn dark if the silence continued any longer.
Guhan and Fleeting Wooden Fish stared at each other in silence for more than two hours. Fleeting Wooden Fish finally coughed and broke the dead silence.
"I'm getting old!
Young people nowadays are getting better and better! "
Fleeting Wooden Fish let out a long sigh. He waved his hand on the table, and a Void Gate appeared out of thin air. Two cups of hot tea fell out of the Void Gate and landed steadily on the table.
"Come, have some tea!" Fleeting Wooden Fish picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
It was not difficult to create something out of nothing. Any sword-wielder with a Dimensional Pocket would be able to do it.
However, Fleeting Wooden Fish's creation did not come from the Dimensional Pocket of the sword wielder, but from the Void Gate.
The Void Gate's function was to connect two points in space through the Void. Nothing could be stored in the Void. Fleeting Wooden Fish's creation was to connect two cups of tea that were placed in another place with the Void Gate.
Opening a Void Gate was not difficult for a sword wielder at the level of an Immortal sword. However, it was extremely difficult to accurately place the Void Gate between the two teacups.
Moreover, the Void Gate opened by Fleeting Wooden Fish was not big. It was only the size of a basketball.
This meant that the other end of the Void Gate was also only the size of a basketball. Wanting to accurately put the two teacups into such a narrow Void Gate was like blowing up a Japanese's head with one shot from more than ten kilometers away. It was an unimaginably difficult task.
This required an extremely precise grasp of the power of the Void. Only the top sword wielder at the level of an Immortal sword could do it.
"Senior, you're amazing!
I'm impressed! "
Guhan's admiration was sincere. He knew how difficult it was to achieve this. At the very least, his master, Liu Lei, would not be able to do it.
"Hmm!
If you're impressed, then drink this pot of tea. I'll talk to you after that. "
Fleeting Wooden Fish nodded. Guhan immediately picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
"Speak!
Why have you come all the way to the Fleeting Family?
Do you have a favor to ask of us? "Fleeting Wooden Fish cut straight to the point when Gu Han finished her tea.
"This junior hopes to borrow the Liu Nian Clan's Black Hair Severing!" Gu Han's reply was also very straightforward. He stated his purpose for coming here.
"You want to borrow my Black Hair?"
Fleeting Wooden Fish was surprised. He did not seem to know what Guhan wanted. Did Liunian Ling not tell her grandfather about Guhan's purpose last night?
A trace of doubt flashed across Gu Han's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. There was no need for Gu Han to think too much about Fleeting Ling and his grandfather.
"Sure!"
Unexpectedly, Fleeting Wooden Fish did not take long to give Guhan his answer. It was the answer that Guhan was hoping for the most.
Fleeting Time Wooden Fish's attitude was so generous, and it was so easy for him to sever her hair. Gu Han couldn't help but feel that this was unrealistic. It was as if he was still dreaming.
"Senior, are you serious?
Are you really willing to give the Black Hair to me for free? "Guhan asked nervously.
"That's right!
I can give the Black Hair to you for free! "Fleeting Wooden Fish said solemnly.
The old patriarch of the Fleeting Family had repeated his answer twice. This answer should not be false, right?
Guhan began to grow excited. Guhan had not been idle during the two hours of silence. He had been trying to guess Fleeting Wooden Fish's reaction and come up with a plan.
What if Fleeting Wooden Fish does not agree to give the Black Hair to me?
How am I supposed to convince him?
What if Fleeting Wooden Fish agrees, but comes up with extremely harsh conditions?
Should I agree to his conditions?
What kind of conditions will he come up with?
That was why Guhan was not in a state of complete loneliness during the two hours. His mind had not been idle at all, and he had already come up with a foolproof plan in his mind.
However, Guhan did not expect Fleeting Wooden Fish to be willing to give it to him for free.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior!
If there's anything you need from me in the future, I will definitely do it! "Guhan suddenly bowed deeply to Fleeting Wooden Fish to express his gratitude.
"Hmm, good child. I won't ask you to do anything. Just live your own life in the future.
It's getting late now. If you're willing, you can have dinner here.
If not, I'll send someone to send you back to Yanjing City. "Fleeting Wooden Fish said with a smile.
"I won't disturb Senior anymore. I'll take my leave now!" Guhan said respectfully.
"Alright. Rena, help me send Guhan to the door and prepare a car for him!" Fleeting Wooden Fish turned to Rena Takasaka and instructed.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Rena Takasaka nodded and gestured to Guhan, "Guhan -san, please!"
…
Wait a minute?
He's letting me go just like that?
What happened to Sever Black Hair?
Gu Han raised his head and looked at the Fleeting Time Wooden Fish with doubt in his eyes.
"What's wrong?
Is there a problem? "
Fleeting Wooden Fish looked at Guhan in surprise, as if he did not know why Guhan was looking at him in such a manner.
"Senior, shouldn't you hand over the Sever Black Hair to me first?" Gu Han said word by word.
"Didn't I give you Sever Black Hair?"
Fleeting Wooden Fish was even more surprised. He turned to Rena Takasaka and asked, "Rena, did you give Sever Black Hair to Guhan?"
"Yes, Grandpa. Rena has personally given Sever Black Hair to Guhan -san!" Rena Takasaka said with an expressionless face.
"That's impossible … When did you give Sever Black Hair to me?
I … "Gu Han stood up and was about to say something when he suddenly stopped talking. This was because he suddenly remembered something very important.
"Don't tell me that the Severed Black Hair you're talking about was two and a half months ago, on the Meiling Mountain Range …" Gu Han's voice suddenly rang out. Back then, on the Meiling Mountain Range, this Reina Takasaka had attempted to use the Severed Black Hair technique to sever the mark between herself and the poor.
But for some reason, Reina Takasaka's plan failed, and the Green Sever Thread remained in her body, turning into a green viscous liquid.
When the Douyu Blade and Heaven-reliant Blade clashed, and Guhan had almost died, the green, viscous liquid had suddenly appeared and connected the mark between the Douyu Blade and Heaven-reliant Blade. That was when Guhan had successfully mastered the Yin Yang Swordsmanship.
Judging from Fleeting Wooden Fish and Rena Takasaka's words, could it be that the Sever Black Hair that they had given him for free was the one that he had already used?
"What's wrong?
You've only just realized it?
I told you, young man. You need to think things through before you make a decision. Understand? "Fleeting Wooden Fish spoke as if he was lecturing his grandson.
"Yes, I understand!" Logically speaking, Guhan should be furious after being fooled by Fleeting Wooden Fish.
However, Guhan knew that he was in the Fleeting Mountain of the Liu Nian Family. There was no point in getting angry here. Could he snatch Sever Black Hair from the Liu Nian Family?
More importantly, Sever Black Hair belonged to the Liu Nian Family. It was only natural that Guhan would not give it to him when he had asked for it with his bare hands. There was no reason for him to be angry.
"Senior Fleeting Time, please tell me the truth. What do I have to do for you to give me Sever Black Hair?" Guhan asked with his head lowered.
"Back then, I was the one who gave all the orders on Mount Mei Ling. Rena was only an executor. My young friend, Guhan, I hope that you will never hold a grudge against Rena. Are you willing?" Fleeting Wooden Fish suddenly changed the topic to Rena Takasaka.
"Senior, you might not know this, but I've already spoken to Rena in the room. I will never hold a grudge against her again.
Although she tried to steal my Qingpin Sword, her Sever Black Hair is forever in my body. She even saved my life at a critical moment. I am indebted to Rena Takasaka. I swear to the heavens that I will never mention what happened on Mount Mei Ling, nor will I hold a grudge against anyone! "
Guhan spoke with sincerity, but only the heavens knew if he was being sincere or not.
It was not a big deal for him to let go of a grudge that did not have any negative consequences for the sake of Sever Black Hair.
"Very well!
Just like you said, Rena may have tried to harm you, but her Sever Black Hair is forever in your body. The two of you are even now. It's best that you never mention it again. "
Fleeting Wooden Fish suddenly stood up and walked to a cupboard behind him. He took out an exquisite box from the cupboard. It must be something very precious to Fleeting Wooden Fish.
Nowadays, swordbearers were used to keeping their belongings in their Dimensional Pockets. It was safe and secure, and there was no risk of losing their belongings unless they died.
Only an old family like the Fleeting Time Clan would keep their important belongings in a cupboard.
"Grandpa, you …" Rena Takasaka, who had been indifferent all this while, suddenly became agitated when she saw the jewelry box. It was as if the item in the jewelry box was related to her.
"Shut up. Grandpa won't hurt you."
Fleeting Wooden Fish glanced at Rena Takasaka from the corner of his eye, and she immediately fell silent. It was obvious that she was afraid of Fleeting Wooden Fish.
"My friend Guhan, take a look at what's in the box!"
Fleeting Wooden Fish opened the jewelry box, and a small, jade-green knife was placed inside. It was the legendary Sever Black Hair. Its green body was translucent, and it did not look like a godly weapon that could be found in the mortal world.
