Chapter 264 I treated you as a friend, but you actually wanted to...
Han Zhuo seemed to be infected by Yang Xinyi's straightforward nature. She reached out and grabbed Yang Xinyi's hand.
When Yang Xinyi raised her head and looked at him, his eyes flashed with a blazing light.
Han Zhuo's eyes also showed determination and sincerity.
He said to Yang Xinyi, "Master, I can tell you without reservation that you are probably the first friend I have ever met in this world!"
"I've always been a friend to my friends, but now that your life is in danger, it would be fine if I didn't know."
"But now that I know about this, there's absolutely no way I'm going to let it go! With such a great opportunity right before my eyes, I won't give up!"
"Therefore, I also hope that you, Taoist Priest, will not give up so easily. I will definitely get this thousand-year-old Fire Ganoderma!"
Yang Xinyi was held tightly by Han Zhuo. At this moment, she could vaguely feel the burning heat released from Han Zhuo!
"I don't care how cunning and scheming Ximen Liancheng is. I only know that I will help you get this thousand-year-old fire ganoderma!"
"And eradicate the icy energy in your body forever!"
"This is something I must do as a friend!"
Han Zhuo's words fell into Yang Xinyi's ears word by word.
She was staring at Han Zhuo blankly, her vision slightly blurred.
There were also ripples in his eyes.
For some reason, Yang Xinyi felt that her heart suddenly became very strange.
It felt like there was something stuck in my heart, jumping around all the time, and it made me feel very uncomfortable.
She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest!
She looked at Han Zhuo, the man she had known for less than a day.
Finally, Yang Xinyi couldn't help but speak.
"But, you've tried so hard to help me, and yet I can't give you anything else. This, this is really hard to understand!"
Han Zhuo laughed heartily after hearing this: "Master, if you consider me, Han Zhuo, a friend, then don't say that again!"
"If everything between friends is about interests and balance, then what is the point of having friends?"
"The next thing we need to do is discuss how to obtain this thousand-year-old Fire Ganoderma!"
……
Two days later, the sword tasting conference was held as scheduled.
There is a large square at the main entrance of Mingjian Villa.
This is usually where the disciples of Mingjian Villa gather and practice swordsmanship.
It covers an area roughly the size of a football field.
In the eyes of others, the entire Mingjian Villa looks particularly magnificent.
From Han Zhuo's perspective, Jianshan Villa was nothing more than a private army recruited from the underworld!
What’s even more terrifying is that every disciple here knows martial arts!
If these people wore armor and held standard weapons, they would be absolutely fatal to the enemy once they went on the battlefield!
If the two sides engage in close combat, I am afraid that in an instant, no matter how many people or how many troops there are, they will be easily dealt with like killing chickens!
At this time, Han Zhuo was standing together with Hua Caiwei, Cui Qinghe and a few other idiots.
As an elder of the Tianjian Sect, Yang Xinyi naturally sat quietly in a high position.
However, even though she was in a high position, from her angle, she could still easily see Han Zhuo in the crowd.
This is mainly because Han Zhuo's physique and handsome appearance can easily attract other people's attention.
"Brother, are these martial arts masters going to compete on that stage later?"
At this moment, Hua Caiwei was standing next to Han Zhuo, looking at everything in front of her with curiosity.
Hua Caiwei's biggest dream used to be to settle her family down. Once her brothers and sisters got married and started their own families, she would pack her bags and travel far away from home alone, to travel around the world and feel the vastness of the mountains and rivers.
Even if she died in some unknown corner one day, she would be willing.
And now, the dream that was once out of reach has come true.
So much so that now she doesn't know what to do, and her only thought is to follow her master. Wherever her master goes, she will go!
Of course, the premise is that she can't hold Han Zhuo back.
It is for this reason that Hua Caiwei has been practicing almost non-stop since she learned the magical technique improved by Han Zhuo!
In addition, she herself is a person with a high talent for martial arts, so her training speed is not slow.
Although she still looks weak and small, if a fight really breaks out, Cui Qinghe, who is beside her, may not be able to defeat her within thirty rounds.
However, for Hua Caiwei, what she lacks most now is practical experience.
Han Zhuo smiled and nodded. He said, "That's right. A group of people will go up there to compete and learn from each other in order to win those ten famous swords!"
As Han Zhuo finished speaking, he noticed that a look of longing involuntarily appeared in Hua Caiwei's eyes.
Although Han Zhuo saw it, he didn't say much, just smiled lightly.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome old man appeared in everyone's sight.
As soon as he appeared, Cui Qinghe excitedly explained to Han Zhuo, "Senior, senior, this is Master Ximen of Mingjian Villa!"
Ximen Liancheng does have a good appearance. Even though he is over 40 years old, he is still the kind of handsome old man who will make many young girls feel uneasy and scream when they see him.
I think he must have looked even better when he was younger.
This can be easily seen from his pretty boy son.
Han Zhuo listened to Ximen Liancheng standing on the high platform, shouting at the top of his voice, using his internal force to speak some irrelevant and high-sounding words.
As he observed his surroundings, he found that the people around him all had eyes full of enthusiasm.
It seemed as if he couldn't wait to rush onto the ring, compete, and get the sword.
But Han Zhuo then discovered another problem, that is, not everyone in this group of people used swords.
Many people have weapons of strange shapes, and this sword is completely useless in their hands.
Han Zhuo was having this doubt in his mind. Hua Caiwei, who was standing next to him, had been looking at her master and saw the doubt in Han Zhuo's expression.
Hua Caiwei immediately understood what he meant, so she asked Cui Qinghe, who was standing beside her with an excited look on his face, "Brother Cui, why are there so many people participating in the sword competition who clearly don't use swords?"
"Then many of the moves and internal skills they practice are not suitable for swords, right?"
"If that's the case, why did you bother to fight in the ring? Are you really just here to watch the fun?"
Cui Qinghe laughed, he thought Hua Caiwei was asking on purpose.
Therefore, I specifically responded: "Sister, you don't know this, right?"
"Let me tell you, Mingjian Villa is a top-tier sect in the martial arts world. The swords they forge are highly sought after by everyone in the martial arts world."
"Then tell me, these ten swords they've crafted now, engraved with numerous inscriptions, can better reflect the owner's worth and status?"
"And if you don't need these ten swords yourself, you can give them to others. For many sword practitioners, the swords of Mingjian Villa are a dream come true!"
"If you have such a sword, and if you offer it as a bargaining chip, I will do anything for you."
Hua Caiwei nodded slightly: "I see."
Cui Qinghe immediately lowered his head and said to Hua Caiwei in a relatively low voice, "Senior, didn't I perform well just now?"
"I deliberately raised my voice a bit when I spoke, so that everyone would think that you are just a young girl just starting out. No one would believe that you are a peerless master."
Hua Caiwei chuckled. It seemed that Cui Qinghe was a very cunning person.
But when he was in front of his master, he was fooled.
Soon, Ximen Liancheng’s righteous declaration on the high platform finally came to an end.
At this moment, Ximen Liancheng clapped his hands, and suddenly twenty beautiful girls, two of them holding a long wooden box, came to the stage and stood in a row behind Ximen Liancheng.
Ximen Liancheng said to the crowd, "Please look, everyone! These ten swords were forged by our Mingjian Villa over three years, using countless materials!"
"These ten swords have different appearances and functions."
Ximen Liancheng opened the wooden boxes one by one in front of everyone.
The first sword he introduced was a sword that could cut through iron like mud.
In order to demonstrate, he even pulled out an iron sword from the waist of a disciple next to him.
The iron sword touched the precious sword lightly, and the blade of the precious sword cut the iron sword into two pieces directly, just like cutting vegetable stalks!
Seeing this, everyone cheered below!
Then he introduced another sword, which was obviously a sword used by girls.
