The Sword Dynasty Volume 1 Chapter 12: Outstanding People

Proofreader: Zhu Yuan

In the dark room, there was a woman in a red dress.

In front of her was a zither with a censer beside it.

On both sides, there were also several black bamboos like black jade.

"I am just a weak woman who has lost my family. Mr. Zhao, don't laugh at my insignificant skill to save my life."

Black smoke curled up from the censer, and the figure of this red-dressed woman appeared to shake in the air, like a ghostly shadow. However, her voice was surprisingly clear, gentle and courteous, which made people feel comfortable and warmed up the whole dark room.

Scholarly young man's slightly wrinkled brow loosened, and a trace of anger on his face also slowly dissipated.

"Why should Miss Shang be self-effacing in front of one who has the same misfortune."

He saluted the woman in the room, then walked into the dark room and sat down opposite the woman.

In front of the woman's zither, there was a thin black gauze curtain. He looked at the woman through the curtain.

The young man with heavy eyebrows who had been following him saluted to the woman outside the door, but instead of entering the door, he turned and stood at the door.

"Mr. Zhao, you sent a message earlier saying that you had something to discuss with me. What is it?"

The woman saluted back behind the curtain and asked slowly.

Her voice, tone and speed to speak were all comfortable.

The handsome young man looked at the woman behind the curtain, the one who actually controlled most of the illegal businesses in the fish market. He nodded slightly. "My junior fellow apprentice Zhao Zhan was killed by Ye Celeng. Miss Shang must have known it."

The woman said softly, "Mr. Zhao Zhan is an outstanding person in the world. Once he dies, it really makes people sigh."

The handsome young man's eyebrows were gradually raised.

His body began to exude an unutterable verve and charm, an unutterable sharpness.

"The death of my younger fellow will be known in a few days." He remained calm and said, "However, only few people will know why he was lurking in Changling and why he died in Changling."

The woman said, "Forgive my slow wit. I don't know what you mean."

The handsome young man looked at the woman and then said, "Pract.i.tioners from your Qin dynasty have been chasing our Sword Furnace fellow most closely. People of Sword Furnace will surely be noticed as long as you stay in any big city of Qin. Knowing this, my junior fellow did not fear death. He lived in seclusion for three years in Changling, not to a.s.sa.s.sinate someone, but to look for what that person left behind."

The woman was silent, but her body began to quiver slightly. Several black bamboos beside her also seemed to quiver painfully.

Even though she had already been one of the most powerful people in Changling underground, and the one everyone who entered the fish market must show respect to, she still felt painful to think of that person's name.

Most of the time, the reason that people didn't want to mention that person's name was just because of helplessness and pain; they didn't want to recall so many painful things.

Just like most powerful presence from Zhao's Sword Furnace in front of her.

Sword Furnace people would not be afraid. However, the Sword Furnace School was destroyed by that man. Still, they wanted to rely on what the man left behind to fight against Qin Dynasty. This was a great pain in itself.

The handsome young man went on calmly and coldly: "My junior fellow apprentice is naturally not afraid of death, but if there is no trace, I will not allow him to throw his life at Changling like that, and his life is worth more than that of most people in the world."

The curtain quivered slightly, and after a few breaths, the woman whispered, "Is it true that the disciple of that man appeared?"

Looking at the figure behind the gauze curtain, the young man said slowly, "You know that the man has many enemies, but there are many followers too. After his death, most of his old followers end up in misery, and there are not many old people, women or children left behind. Perhaps it was also a coincidence that my man found a bandit who had been killed. The bandit should not have died at that time. He escaped to the wild and bled to death. However, the bandit was covered by superficial wounds, and the wounds of the sword were endless. "

The woman was shocked again: "Grinding Stone Sword?"

The young man said coldly, "I checked it myself later, and it was definitely Grinding Stone Sword. The Grinding Stone Sword tactic is the man's own sword skill, and it is specially used to attack pract.i.tioners whose True Yuan is very strong. From the mark of the sword, the swordsman was only in the first realm, while the thief was already in the top level of the second realm. He used Grinding Stone Sword because of such a gap in accomplishments. After carefully tracing the previous marks of the bandit, we found that the bandit may be trying to plunder a nearby village where several women and children are the old family members of that man."

The woman remained silent for a few moments. "I believe in you, but as far as I am concerned, it has nothing to do with me whether that person has a true disciple or not."

"But we can live better."

The young man sneered, "Even though many people fear us, we all know that we are just invisible ghosts."

"No one will refuse power, and no one will refuse to lead a better life." The handsome young man paused and glanced at the woman behind the curtain, adding coldly.

"It seems that you want me to help find some clues from the man's old family." The woman said sincerely, "I deeply respect you, but I am one of Qin people after all."

The young man shook his head and said, "Does it really matter? My dynasty has been destroyed for so many years. Is Zhao emperor's word still useful when the country is destroyed? It is all about personal grudge, and the trend in the world is irresistible. Am I still stupid enough to think that with a few people with broken swords from Sword Furnace, I can rebuild my country? "

The woman was deep in thought.

She knew that the legendary fourth entry in the Sword Furnace, who was called Mr. Zhao Si, was recognized as the highest level among all Sword Furnace's true disciples.

Now she knew that this realm was not just a realm of accomplishments.

Thus she wanted to talk seriously and see this person clearly.

Several black bamboos on her side swung slightly, as if the wind were blowing. The black gauze curtain in front of her also swung apart and folded to one side.

The handsome young man felt the faint vitality on the black gauze curtain, and couldn't help looking fiercely."Miss Shang is also proficient in the method of tactical deployment of Magic Circle," he said sincerely.

"Anotherinsignificant skill again."

The voice of the woman sounded more comfortable. She saw the face of the handsome young man and was somewhat surprised to see that the legendary Mr. Zhao Si was much younger than she expected.

The handsome young man also saw her face clearly.

He was also surprised.

Her facial features were not particularly good-looking, and her skin color was a bit morbid white, but her facial expression was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Her eyes were very characteristic, extremely black and bright. Her red skirt was very long, completely dragging on the ground, covering her feet.

Moreover, there seemed to be no hatred in her eyes. Her facial expression, like that of some Buddha statues in the temple, looked at all beings with compa.s.sion.

They looked at each other and the dark room fell silent for a moment.

"I would like to hear your detailed explanation." The woman spoke first, breaking the silence.

"There are two things."

The young man looked solemn. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "First of all, I have already told Miss Shang the real secret of my junior fellow apprentice's fall in Changling, only hoping that if Miss Shang really find the disciple of the man, you can tell me. From our conversation, I knew that Miss Da was open-minded and even had some respect for that man and no hatred for that man's disciples. "

The woman nodded: "I can give my consent to that, sir."

The young man nodded and then said, "The second thing is to ask your favor to pay attention to the whereabouts of those people of Wei. They may get clues about Gushan Sword Collection. "

"The pract.i.tioners of Yunshui Palace also appeared in Changling? Gushan Sword Collection?" the women couldn't believe it.

The young man bowed deeply and said, "If you can get something hidden by that person or things from Gushan Sword Collection, we Sword Furnace is willing to share with you. In the future, Sword Furnace will certainly help to protect you."

The woman naturally knew the weight of his remark.

She no longer said anything, but only deeply reciprocated.
