Chapter 38

~8 min read 1,412 words

As soon as the bald man spoke, other onlookers also showed expressions of anticipation.

Who wouldn't want to see the divine sword?

Even if they couldn't possess the divine sword, being able to feast their eyes on it would be a great honor.

"Uh..."

The Ximen Family members all had awkward expressions, secretly looking at Ximen Kun.

The Young Master admitted it half-heartedly, but he didn't have the divine sword at all, what should he do?

If people found out the Young Master was bluffing, where would the Ximen Family's face go?

Chen Qiming glared at the bald man and said unkindly: "The divine sword has just emerged, the Young Master still needs to establish a connection with the divine sword, and has temporarily stored it in a space treasure, so it's not convenient to take it out."

"Uh, it was my abruptness." The bald man realized he had flattered the wrong person and retreated sullenly.

Other onlookers either showed expressions of regret or were whispering quietly:

"What's the big deal about looking at it, so stingy."

"Exactly, we wouldn't fight you for it."

"Do you think Young Master Kun doesn't have the divine sword?"

"That's unlikely, Young Master Kun's talent and fortune have always been good."

"It's hard to say, he really is so concerned about face..."

Chen Qiming was on pins and needles, coughed, and said: "Young Master, let's go back quickly, there are too many people, lest some villains want to forcibly seize the divine sword."

The bluff had already been made, and there was no way to prove it. He just wanted to leave quickly, to avoid having to tell more lies to make up for it.

Unexpectedly, Ximen Kun was not panicked at all and said heartily:

"Since you all want to see it, what's the harm in letting everyone take a look? I'm not a stingy person. As for seizing it? Heh, whoever dares to seize things from the Ximen Family will have to weigh the consequences!"

"Ah?"

Chen Qiming was startled, thinking: The Young Master hasn't gotten too into his own bluff, has he...

Then, under everyone's gaze, Ximen Kun gently wiped the ring on his index finger.

Swish!

An ancient and domineering long sword actually appeared in his hand.

Chen Qiming was surprised.

The divine sword had clearly been pulled away by Yang Yu, how could the Young Master have it?

He looked closely and understood immediately.

The sword in the Young Master's hand was indeed very intimidating, truly having a bit of the flavor of a divine artifact.

But it should be a replica.

The hilt was indeed exactly the same as the genuine one; after all, the hilt was always exposed, making it easy to replicate.

But the sword body was buried underneath, and no one had ever seen it before.

The luster and texture of this replica's sword body were very different from the genuine one.

Of course, none of the passersby at the scene had seen the real one.

When Ximen Kun took out this sword, the scene was in an uproar.

"Is this the divine sword?"

"Such a strong aura..."

"It has a feeling of being unfathomable."

"Did you feel the pressure? My breathing has become difficult..."

"As expected of Young Master Ximen, a precious sword matches a hero!"

Some were amazed, some were boasting.

Chen Qiming laughed dumbly, thinking:

They were biased and really believed it.

They even developed psychological suggestions and felt the pressure.

Sure enough, most humans in this world don't have the ability to think independently at all...

"Everyone, the viewing is over, I'm in a hurry to go home and share the good news, so I won't show it anymore."

Ximen Kun shook the replica around and quickly put it back into the ring space.

Although it was replicated very similarly, it was fake after all.

Showing it was enough; there was no need to display it for too long, lest someone discover the abnormality.

After saying this, he took his clansmen and left the scene.

Those onlookers could only look at Ximen Kun's back with envy.

Really, no one had any ulterior motives.

They really didn't dare to seize things from the Ximen Family.

After Ximen Kun and his party walked far away, Chen Qiming asked suspiciously:

"Young Master, where did that sword you displayed come from?"

Ximen Kun explained: "I have admired the divine sword for a long time, but have been unable to obtain it, so I found some materials and forged a replica. It was originally just for collection, I didn't expect to use it here."

The clansmen couldn't help but sigh silently: The Young Master's obsession with the divine sword had reached this level...

Chen Qiming's face straightened and said: "The Young Master just admitted to pulling out the divine sword, it looks good on the surface, but it's not the truth after all. If the truth is exposed in the future, it will be even more damaging to the Young Master's reputation..."

Ximen Kun narrowed his eyes and said: "Since that's the case, then don't let the truth be exposed."

Chen Qiming was thoughtful: "The Young Master means..."

Ximen Kun said in a deep voice: "That's right, kill Yang Yu and seize the real divine sword. Whoever has the divine sword in their hands, that's who pulled it."

"Things have come to this, this is indeed the best way, both gaining face and obtaining the divine sword. Although the family might bleed because of this, as long as it can succeed, it's worth it."

Chen Qiming also revealed killing intent.

"Hmm, let's hurry home and discuss it with Dad. If we really want to take back the divine sword, the sooner the better."

Ximen Kun said impatiently.

At the same time.

Yang Yu, Bai Chengliang, and Li Wei were already completely safe.

The three of them had lingering fears.

Fortunately, the mysterious man in black appeared in time, so the three of them could leave alive.

If the battle had lasted a little longer, they might have died on the spot.

Even so, the three of them were still slightly injured.

Fortunately, they were only external injuries, which could be solved with basic healing pills.

"Damn Ximen Kun, I am irreconcilable with him!" Bai Chengliang said angrily:

Li Wei also bit her lip slightly and said: "I didn't expect that he wouldn't even give face to the Baibao Pavilion. From now on, don't even think about the Ximen Family buying anything from the Baibao Pavilion!"

Yang Yu sighed: "In the end, it's because our own strength isn't hard enough, and we are completely passive when encountering this kind of situation."

Bai Chengliang clenched his fists and said: "I will cultivate well from now on, work twice as hard, and kill Ximen Kun with my own hands."

Li Wei murmured: "Who do you think that man in black was?"

"Not clear, he was wrapped too tightly, and his voice was disguised." Bai Chengliang said, "There are only a few experts of this level in Ning City."

Yang Yu smiled and said: "Could it be your father?"

Bai Chengliang shook his head vigorously: "Impossible, he was discovered by us when he went to the brothel, he must have gone home long ago, how could he have run into us."

"That's true, we also went to the Baibao Pavilion, unless he was following us the whole time, otherwise he couldn't have appeared at the Divine Sword Platform." Yang Yu agreed.

Bai Chengliang: "Yeah, why would he follow us, he's not a pervert."

Li Wei's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said: "What are you talking about? Where did Family Head Bai go? A brothel?"

Bai Chengliang: "Ah? What... you heard wrong. It was a kiln factory, yeah, a kiln factory."

Li Wei: "Oh? Going to a kiln factory, why were you afraid of being discovered by you?"

Bai Chengliang's eyes rolled around and said:

"Oh, my brother-in-law is new here, my father wanted to quietly build a new mansion for him as a surprise, so he was afraid of being discovered. Yeah, this is very reasonable, right?"

Li Wei curled her lips and said: "Ghost believes you."

Bai Chengliang said righteously: "You doubt me? Even if you doubt me, you have to believe my brother-in-law, look at his honest face."

Li Wei looked at Yang Yu and gossiped: "So Yang Yu, where did you go?"

Yang Yu blurted out: "Fangfei Pavilion."
