Sword Immortal Tian Hen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He tried to snatch the golden longsword from Guhan's hand.
However, just as Sword Immortal Tian Hen exerted some force, he discovered that his hand was empty. The golden longsword had disappeared without a trace. Gu Han had probably placed it back into his dimensional pocket.
"Guhan!
What are you trying to do?
Are you going to go back on your word? "Sword Immortal Tian Hen snapped. It was as if Guhan had stolen his entire family's fortune.
Sword Immortal Tian Hen, who had just decided to reject all of Guhan's offers, was now extremely eager to obtain the golden longsword. Even if Guhan asked him to squat on the ground and bark like a dog, Sword Immortal Tian Hen would probably reconsider whether or not to agree to Guhan's conditions.
I'm sure everyone has already guessed that the golden longsword Guhan was offering was the Emperor Sword, the Xuan-Yuan Sword, that Yi Qing had given to Guhan.
Since ancient times, no Sword Pavilion Lord had been able to resist the temptation of an Emperor Sword.
If he could add a Jiandi to his Sword Pavilion, then even if he had to give up his life for it, this Sword Pavilion Lord would never regret it.
Moreover, Sword Immortal Tian Hen only needed to pay the price of a Famed Sword Maiden in exchange for an Emperor Sword Maiden forever.
He wouldn't come across such a good deal even after five hundred years. How could Sword Immortal Tian Hen not agree?
Just as Guhan had said, what he was most afraid of was Guhan going back on his word. He didn't want this deal to go through.
"I, Guhan, am a man of my word. I won't go back on my word."
Guhan pursed his lips. Sword Immortal Tian Hen was no longer the one with the upper hand in this deal, but himself.
Of course, Guhan had to take advantage of him.
"Where's the Yue King Goujian Sword?
If you don't give me the Yue King Goujian Sword, how can I give you the Xuan-Yuan Sword?! "
"This really is the Xuan Yuan Sword!" Sword Immortal Tian Hen became even more excited upon hearing Guhan reveal the name of the Xuan Yuan Sword.
Just now, he could sense the immense power within the sword and ascertain that it was undoubtedly an Emperor Sword. However, Sword Immortal Tian Hen wasn't sure which Emperor Sword it was, even though he could vaguely sense that it was the Xuan-Yuan Sword based on the patterns on the sword.
Sword Immortal Tian Hen knew about this sword. When he had just become an Immortal Sword wielder, he had gone to see Hao Tian Jiandi. Then, Hao Tian Jiandi had told Sword Immortal Tian Hen everything that had happened in Changyang Mountain.
Only now did Sword Immortal Tian Hen learn that an Emperor's Sword had once brushed shoulders with the Yan Jing Sword Pavilion. Moreover, it was the legendary Xuan-Yuan Sword, the number one Emperor's Sword … Sword Immortal Tian Hen's heart almost broke when he heard this news. He didn't think that the Xuan-Yuan Sword would deliver itself to him at a time like this.
"Guhan, what are you doing?!"
Hearing the Xuan-Yuan Sword's name, Koo Rok-in jumped up. He grabbed Guhan's hand and said agitatedly, "Guhan, are you crazy?
You want to use the Xuan-Yuan Sword to trade for the Yue King Goujian Sword!
Even a hundred or a thousand Yue King Goujian Swords can't compare to a single Xuan-Yuan Sword!
You actually want to use it for a trade? You must be crazy!
This deal doesn't count! "
Of course, Koo Rok-in knew that Guhan would suffer a great loss from this trade. No, it was Yuzhang City that would suffer a great loss.
As a citizen of Yuzhang City, Koo Rok-in would never allow such a ridiculous trade to take place before his eyes.
This was an Empress Sword Empress, not some Spirit Sword Empress.
"Let go of me!
I've already decided on the trade. There's no need for you to stop me! "Guhan flung Koo Rok-in's hand away and said coldly.
"Looks like you really are crazy!
Guhan, I'm telling you, you don't have the right to make this trade! "
Koo Rok-in blocked in front of Guhan, "You're no longer the Sword Pavilion Master. You don't have the right to make any decisions on behalf of the Sword Pavilion.
It's even more impossible for you to initiate this stupid trade. I'm going to report this to Master Liu Lei and let him stop you! "
"Koo Rok-in, you're mistaken. This sword is mine, mine alone. It doesn't belong to Yuzhang City's Sword Pavilion.
I have the right to make any decision regarding this sword. You don't have the right to interfere.
Move aside! "Guhan flung Koo Rok-in, who was blocking in front of him.
"No!
I won't allow you to do such a thing!
I won't move aside even if I die! "
Koo Rok-in was even more thorough this time. He actually hugged Guhan's waist and buried his head in Guhan's chest … To put it bluntly, if you didn't consider the gender difference between Guhan and Koo Rok-in, they looked like two young lovers who were having an argument.
"Lu Xihua!
Pavilion Master Lu Xihua!
Although I don't approve of you becoming the Pavilion Master, since you're standing in the position of the Pavilion Master, please do your duty.
Chase this crazy guy out. Don't let him use our Yuzhang City's treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword, as a bargaining chip! "
Koo Rok-in hugged Guhan. He turned his head and said to Lu Xihua, telling her to stop Guhan.
Needless to say, in terms of management, Lu Xihua indeed had the right to order Gu Han to end this damned deal.
The reason was simple. Lu Xihua was the Pavilion Master of Yuzhang City's Sword Pavilion, while Guhan was just an ordinary sword-bearer in Yuzhang City.
Moreover, this trade involved the Sword Maiden, who was under the jurisdiction of Sword Pavilion. Lu Xihua naturally had the right to order Guhan around … even though Guhan was the previous Pavilion Master.
"Guhan, don't be stupid!
Have you forgotten?
Just now, Sword Immortal Tian Hen agreed to let me synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword.
Don't worry, I have full confidence that I can synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword. "
Koo Rok-in moved his mouth next to Guhan's ear and bit Guhan's ear. "As long as I synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword, it'll be the same as having the Yue King Goujian sword in Yuzhang City's hands. You'll have more than forty years to negotiate with Yan Jing City's Sword Pavilion. You'll be able to trade for the Yue King Goujian sword at a fair price instead of ruining the Xuanyuan Sword. Do you understand?"
Koo Rok-in's persuasion was very well-intentioned. On one hand, he tried to persuade Lu Xihua to stop Guhan. On the other hand, he helped Guhan think of a roundabout way to save the country.
Unfortunately, he had no idea what Guhan was really thinking, what Guhan wanted, or what Guhan's real plan was.
"Enough!
Get out of my way! "
Sword Immortal Tian Hen finally came back to his senses. He realized that it was very likely that Ju Luren would stop this once-in-a-lifetime deal. This deal would allow him, Sword Immortal Tian Hen, to make a great contribution. This deal would allow the Sword Pavilion of Yan Jing to have its sixth Emperor Sword, the Swordmother. Sword Immortal Tian Hen was instantly enraged. He unceremoniously pushed Ju Luren to the side.
Then, Koo Rok-in, who felt as if the back of his skull had been shattered, heard Sword Immortal Tian Hen say these words to him. "Did you think I couldn't hear what you whispered to me just now?
Did you think I couldn't detect your sinister plan?
You want to shamelessly detain the Yue King Goujian sword in Yuzhang City and never return it to us, right?? "
"I'm telling you … stop dreaming!"
Sword Immortal Tian Hen humphed coldly. "Get out of my way. Get out of my way right now. I won't let you synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword.
I, Tian Hen, swear to the heavens right now … You … will never touch the Yue King Goujian sword for the rest of your life.
Even if you can synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword successfully, it will be nothing but a dream … Just wait in your dreams for this day to come! "
"I … I …" Hearing Sword Immortal Tian Hen's words, Koo Rok-in felt as if his chest had been smashed by a sledgehammer that weighed several tons. He couldn't even breathe.
One could only imagine the pain in Koo Rok-in's heart at this moment. The Yue King Goujian sword, whom he viewed as his lifelong goal, was forever lost to him because of a single sentence from Sword Immortal Tian Hen.
This was like a person's first girlfriend. Because of her father's disapproval, she would never be able to be with him.
Later on, Koo Rok-in wrote this in his own memoirs. "At this moment, I feel like dying.
If it weren't for the fact that my father's figure appeared in my mind, I would have never fulfilled my father's dream.
I'm afraid that in this world, Sword Immortal Sha Sha wouldn't exist … If someone asked me if I would hate Guhan in my heart, I would only say, f * ck them. "
"Phew!" Hearing Sword Immortal Tian Hen's words, Guhan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He didn't expect Koo Rok-in to cooperate with him like this. He even offered to help him detain the Yue King Goujian sword.
He wanted Sword Immortal Tian Hen to fly into a rage and forever forbid Koo Rok-in from synchronizing with the Yue King Goujian sword.
It wasn't easy to put on this show. It wasn't easy to make someone as smart as Guhan act like an idiot.
Guhan wasn't an idiot. How could he really exchange the Xuan Yuan Sword for the Yue King Goujian sword? Even an idiot wouldn't do such a thing.
Actually, Guhan was only putting on an act for Koo Rok-in and Sword Immortal Tian Hen to see. He wanted Sword Immortal Tian Hen to say that he would never allow Koo Rok-in to synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword.
As long as Sword Immortal Tian Hen said this, then Sword Immortal Tian Hen would never go back on his word. Whether it was for his face or for his own benefit, he couldn't go back on his word.
Even if Koo Rok-in didn't jump out to stop him, Guhan would still slowly guide Koo Rok-in and Sword Immortal Tian Hen.
To make Sword Immortal Tian Hen suspect Koo Rok-in … Just the slightest bit of suspicion would cause Sword Immortal Tian Hen to immediately retract his agreement to allow Koo Rok-in to synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword. He would also forbid Koo Rok-in and the people of Yuzhang City from ever touching the Yue King Goujian sword … In fact, he might even refuse to allow anyone to synchronize with the Yue King Goujian sword, so that Guhan could keep the Yue King Goujian sword safe until he found Severed Black Hair.
Guhan believed that Sword Immortal Tian Hen would carry out this order with unwavering determination. As long as he still had any illusions about the Xuan Yuan Sword, then he would definitely do it. Otherwise, if the Yue King Goujian sword was synchronized with someone else, what would he use to exchange for the Xuan Yuan Sword?
