Swordsman Seeker didn't look amazing. He had a straight nose and a wide mouth. He even looked a little silly.
He didn't speak clearly, but he didn't expect Shen Zhenyi to approve of him.
"My swordsmanship can't be considered as the Canglan inheritance …"
Swordsman Seeker answered Shen Zhenyi's question with a disappointed tone. "When I was young, I met the Canglan Emissary and was taught the basics of swordsmanship by him."
He was originally a disciple of a large sect in King City, but his sect was attacked and exterminated a hundred years ago. Only an old servant helped him escape and wandered the Jianghu. Fortunately, he met the Canglan Emissary, who taught him swordsmanship for three days, allowing him to make a comeback.
"You're here for revenge?"
Cynanchum Chinense was surprised.
Swordsman Seeker was born in the Longevity Sect, which was a rare third-grade sect in King City's Nineteen Outer City. He was also a member of the Martial Arts Symposium and a popular candidate for promotion. But in a single night, they were exterminated.
Although she didn't know who the culprit was, it could only be one of the third-grade sects.
Until now, there were still a few sects in the Nineteen Outer City.
Swordsman Seeker specially came here and said that he wanted to participate in the Seven Sects Symposium. Could it be that he had succeeded in his cultivation and wanted to come back for revenge?
Cynanchum Chinense didn't object. Although she had only seen people from the Small Ruyi Sect and the Wonderful Lotus Sect, she didn't have a good impression of them. A life for a life. Even if Swordsman Seeker came back to seek justice, it was natural.
"That's not the case."
Swordsman Seeker scratched his head. "Although I feel sorry for my ancestors, I really don't want to get involved in those grudges. I just want to see more advanced martial arts …"
He was still young and didn't have any impression of his family and teachers. He also didn't have a source of hatred. After receiving the teachings of the Canglan Emissary, he devoted himself to swordsmanship. After his parents passed away, no one urged him to seek revenge, so he was happy to study swordsmanship alone.
"This time I came to King City by chance and heard that the Abandoned Sword Villa's Third Young Master Shen's swordsmanship was amazing, so I came here out of admiration."
After witnessing the Sword Spirit that Shen Zhenyi had left on the bronze sword, the Sword Seeker was intoxicated. Since the Martial Arts Evaluation was around the corner, he directly made a request.
"Yue Dan's Martial Arts Evaluation and the Seven Sects' Martial Arts Evaluation are actually just the Seven Sects deceiving the newcomers. They're looking for an excuse to test the martial arts of the Abandoned Sword Villa. Even if The Third Prince's swordsmanship is godly, he can't always personally participate in every match. "
He glanced at Lord Zi Ningjun and the others and said hesitantly, "If I'm not wrong, The Third Prince's disciples haven't mastered their swordsmanship and can't fight against the seven sects. If Young Master is willing to bring me along, I will definitely follow Young Master's orders and stop the provocation of the seven sects. "
Sword Seeker's tone sounded very sincere. Cynanchum Chinense felt that this silly young man wasn't that annoying. At least he was much better than the people from the Seven Sects.
"Master, since this person has good intentions, why don't we bring him along? Otherwise, those people are so annoying that it would be too embarrassing for you to fight them one by one. " Cynanchum Chinense just didn't like Sword Seeker's straightforwardness. Now that she heard his reason, she felt that it wasn't impossible.
Shen Zhenyi looked at Sword Seeker meaningfully, as if waiting for him to explain further. But Sword Seeker only looked at him expectantly and didn't say anything.
Shen Zhenyi sighed softly. "Well, since you said so, I won't ask anymore."
He turned back and instructed Lord Zi Ningjun, "But on the day of the Martial Arts Evaluation, let's bring Mr. Xun."
In the end, Shen Zhenyi still didn't call him "Little Xun." Everyone agreed. Princess Long and the others felt that it was a bit too trusting to do so, but since it was Shen Zhenyi's decision, there was no need to refute it.
Anyway, no matter how ridiculous or unreasonable it was, as long as it was something Shen Zhenyi wanted to do, there was nothing wrong with it or that it couldn't succeed.
Sword Seeker didn't expect things to go so smoothly and thanked him profusely. "I'm now living in an inn near the Abandoned Sword Villa. If there's anything you need, The Third Prince can call me."
Shen Zhenyi nodded in agreement. Sword Seeker then gladly left. When he left, he looked at the bronze sword-shaped sign at the door for a long time before leaving with envy.
Cynanchum Chinense then asked Shen Zhenyi, "Master, you seemed to be holding back just now. Could it be that this person is lying?"
Although she looked careless, her observation was still very detailed. If Shen Zhenyi really had a good impression of Sword Seeker, he would have invited him to stay at the Abandoned Sword Villa and taught him sword moves instead of letting him leave.
This was Shen Zhenyi's attitude toward everyone who was obsessed with swordsmanship. But his attitude toward Sword Seeker was different, so there must be something strange.
"Don't worry so much."
Shen Zhenyi said faintly, "Everyone has their own selfish motives. This is a common situation. But I don't like him pretending to be a sword fanatic. It's a blasphemy to the sword. But everyone has their own ambitions, so there's no need to force it. "
He didn't expose him, but Sword Seeker's attitude was obviously fake. It was true that he loved swordsmanship, but he was definitely not as harmless as he looked.
In fact, Sword Seeker left the Abandoned Sword Villa and walked a long way. After he was sure that he wouldn't be discovered, the silly joy on his face disappeared. It was as if his whole person had turned cold in an instant.
"How is it?"
The shadow he projected on the wall suddenly moved strangely. It didn't keep up with his own movements and even opened its mouth to speak. If others noticed this situation, they would be scared out of their wits.
"The Third Young Master Shen has already agreed." Sword Seeker spoke to the shadow naturally, as if he was used to it.
"It's that simple?" The shadow pondered for a moment, feeling that something was wrong. "Could it be that this group of country bumpkins don't know what kind of occasion the Seven Sects Martial Arts Symposium is? How could they just casually bring an outsider in? "
Did they overestimate Shen Zhenyi too much? No matter how powerful he was, he was still a person from the Lower Realm with little experience. Even if he was lucky enough to obtain the inheritance from the Upper Realm, his foundation was much weaker.
"I'm not too sure." Sword Seeker was a little confused, but he was also a little excited. "This person is benevolent, a true martial arts master. And I really can't see through his cultivation. I only feel that it's mysterious and unfathomable, as deep as the sea … "
The shadow seemed to be surprised. "If he gives you that feeling, is he much stronger than you?"
Sword Seeker shook his head, unwilling to admit it. "I'm just saying that his understanding and devotion to swordsmanship are far above mine. But if we really want to fight, it's not just about the comprehension of swordsmanship, but also about the cultivation realm. As long as his cultivation is not as good as mine, I'm sure I can win. "
His swordsmanship was passed down by the authentic Canglan Emissary, so he was never afraid to face enemies of the same realm.
"That's good." The shadow gradually faded and dissipated in the corners of the gap. His voice lingered in the air. "As long as you can hold him back, the day of the Seven Sects Martial Arts Symposium will be the day of Abandoned Sword Villa's destruction!"
Sword Seeker's body trembled, and his face suddenly became as pale as a corpse.
