In an old courtyard house in the old city of Jinling City, three figures stood facing each other.
The three figures stood facing each other. The courtyard house in front of them was extremely old, and the door was even covered in cobwebs.
The Ning family's head, Ning Zhiyuan, looked at the courtyard house with great appreciation and said, "Mr. Ye, this is the ancestral home of our Ning family. It's also where our Ning family's Hidden Sword Pavilion is located.
Your Ning family's ancestor is indeed wise to be able to design such an exquisite courtyard house. " Ye Chen's Divine Consciousness covered the entire courtyard house. He saw all the mechanisms and formations in the courtyard house.
"Dad, when did our Ning family have such a siheyuan? I didn't even know about it before. "
Ning Ruolan, who was standing at the door, looked around curiously. It was clearly her first time here, and there was a hint of complaint in her tone.
Ning Zhiyuan glared at her angrily, "Only the heads of the family know about the ancestral land. I thought that if Wushuang got together with you, he would be able to inherit it …"
At this point, he couldn't go on.
It was because Ning Ruolan's expression instantly dimmed.
Ning Zhiyuan sighed inwardly after witnessing this scene.
He couldn't understand his daughter better than anyone else!
Don't be fooled by the fact that this girl was usually carefree and impulsive, completely lacking the modesty of a girl. Once she set her mind on something, even nine bulls couldn't pull her back.
Especially when it came to relationships.
"Mr. Ye, you're not an outsider, so I made an exception to bring you here today. The Hidden Sword Pavilion has collected the weapons of our Ning family for hundreds of years. As a hero of the generation, how can you not have a suitable weapon?"
Ning Zhiyuan changed the topic on purpose and led Ye Chen into a rundown room. Subsequently, he placed his hand on a candlestick and spun it a few times according to a certain pattern.
Boom!
In the next moment, the floor in front of everyone disappeared with a bang, replaced by a stone staircase that led underground.
"Mr. Ye, please!"
Ning Zhiyuan took out a flashlight and lit the stone steps.
Ye Chen took a step forward and walked down the stone steps. He could not help but ask, "Did Wushuang enter your Ning family's Hidden Sword Pavilion like this?"
"Not at all!"
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Ning Ruolan by instinct, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Ye, you might not know this, but our Ning family's Hidden Sword Pavilion has an exit and an entrance. We're at the entrance, and the exit was set by the Ning family's ancestor in a waterfall."
"I don't know where Wushuang got the news that day, but he forcibly cut off the waterfall and forced his way in!"
At this point, a hint of admiration appeared on his face. "My Ning family's ancestors have already set up many formations at the exit to prevent outsiders from accidentally breaking in. For example, the Giant Stone Array, the Ten Thousand Arrow Array, and even the Glass Fire Array. Over thousands of years, who knows how many people blinded by greed have died in there."
"But Wushuang single-handedly broke the mechanism that my Ning family spent countless generations to set up. When I found out, I was shocked."
Ning Ruolan said angrily, "Of course Brother Wushuang is powerful. Dad, if I knew that Brother Wushuang wanted to enter our Ning family's Hidden Sword Pavilion, I would've secretly turned off the formation. Fortunately, Brother Wushuang is fine. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you."
Ning Zhiyuan was speechless.
While they were talking, they had already reached the end of the stone steps and entered a dark stone room.
Ning Ruolan shone the flashlight, and an old face was immediately revealed in the darkness. She was so scared that she could not help but cry out subconsciously, "Ghost!"
"It's not a ghost, it's a human!"
Ye Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The other party was an old man in a gray robe. He looked to be in his 70s. He must have stayed here all year round and had not seen the sun for a long time, so his face was a little pale.
"Zhiyuan greets Granduncle!"
Ning Zhiyuan immediately took a few steps forward and bowed to the old man, as if a junior was bowing to an elder.
The old man did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Ye Chen with extreme vigilance, "Who is this? Zhiyuan, those who are not members of the Ning family are not allowed to enter the ancestral land. Are you trying to break the rules? "
As soon as he finished speaking.
A shocking force immediately erupted from his body!
There was even a trace of sword intent.
The Ning family actually had a Martial Dao master hidden?
Moreover, he was about to comprehend the embryonic form of sword intent!
Surprise flashed across Ye Chen's face.
"Granduncle!"
After Ning Zhiyuan comforted Ning Ruolan, he said with a smile, "Do you still remember the person who broke the mechanism of our Ning family's ancestral land and took away the Great Thunder Sword?"
"Of course I do!"
The old man's expression froze, and his fierce expression softened a little, "How could I forget that sword-like young man? If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have touched the threshold of sword intent."
"Granduncle, Mr. Ye is Wushuang's relative!"
Ning Zhiyuan immediately explained, "Not only that, Mr. Ye is also the No. 1 person in the Chinese cultivation world!"
The old man looked at Ye Chen in shock when he heard that, "That young man from that day has relatives?"
"Mr. Ye, this is my granduncle, Ning Teng. He's the most powerful person in the Ning family. He's been guarding the Hidden Sword Pavilion his entire life," Ning Zhiyuan introduced.
"Ruolan, quickly greet Great Granduncle!"
Only then did Ning Ruolan react. She looked at Ning Teng in fear and said timidly, "Ruolan greets Great Granduncle!"
"I didn't expect you to grow up so much!"
Ning Teng looked at the slender and elegant Ning Ruolan and sighed, "When I entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion to guard it, you were not even two years old."
"Granduncle, it's like this. It's rare for Mr. Ye to come to our Ning family, so I took the liberty to bring him into the Hidden Sword Pavilion to take a look. I hope you can …" Ning Zhiyuan hesitated.
"Logically speaking, those who aren't my clansmen are not allowed to enter!"
Ning Teng seemed to hesitate, but in the end, he sighed softly and said, "However, since you're that young man's relative, please go in!"
"Is there any other reason behind this?"
Ye Chen was slightly surprised. He did not expect the Ning family to let an outsider like him in for Wushuang's sake.
Ning Zhiyuan explained, "Mr. Ye, you might not know this, but after Wushuang barged into the Hidden Sword Pavilion that day, Granduncle attacked him, but he was defeated by Wushuang's sword. Wushuang's three questions enlightened Granduncle."
"Which three questions?" Ye Chen said while smiling.
Ning Teng took a deep breath in and said, "As a member of the Ning family, I think I understand the sword and know how to use it. However, I was defeated by that young man's sword. I'm not convinced, so I asked why there's such a huge gap between swords."
"That young man did not answer me. Instead, he asked three questions. Do you know what a sword is? Do you know how to use a sword? Are you worthy of using a sword? "
Ye Chen secretly nodded when he heard that.
That was Wushuang. As the sword spirit of the Heavenly Thearch Sword, he had the right to question all swordsmen!
