Chapter 69 (1/2)

“There are always people who are stronger and worlds you have never seen!”

This was Zhao Congjian’s favorite thing that his deceased father would say to him.

Now that it came from Zhou Xuanji, he was very moved.

Zhou Xuanji patted his shoulder and smiled satisfactorily, “Now that you are my sword slave, I will treat you like my disciple. When I can longer teach you, or when you have surpassed me, I will let you go. I can see that you have the heart to pursue supreme power. Take me as your goal!”

He waved his hand and stored all his Legendary Swords into the Supreme Storage.

Zhao Congjian heard the phrase “sword slave” and instinctively knitted his brow.

But when he came to think about it, didn’t it make him a slave to serve Zhou Xuanji?

Moreover, the second half of what Zhou Xuanji made his heart pumped faster.

A heart to pursue supreme power!

He did not expect Zhou Xuanji to understand him so profoundly.

Just when he was deep in thought, Zhou Xuanji supported him up. “Stay here.” Zhou Xuanji said with a smile.

After that, he turned around and looked at Zhang Tianjian and asked, “Can he?”

Zhang Tianjian, who was looking lost, quickly regained his sense and nodded immediately.

Zhang Ruyu and Zhang Rutan still had blank expressions on their faces.

*　Zhao Congjian submitted to Sir Zhou just like that?*

They felt like they were in a dream and could not distinguish the fake from the real.

Little Jiang Xue was a bit stunned too.

Zhou Xuanji said to Zhao Congjian, “Come with me.”

After that, he went toward the courtyard of his room.

His new sword slave followed closely behind.

Zhou Xuanji pulled the stunned little Jiang Xue along and left the hall.

Zhang Rutan gulped and asked, “Brother, I also want to become Sir Zhou’s sword slave. Do you think I have hope?”

Smack!

Zhang Ruyu gave him a tight slap and asked, “What do you think?”

Zhang Rutan covered his face and said pitifully, “Hopeless…”

Zhang Tianjian was also thinking about the same question.

Even Zhao Congjian was in submission to Sword God Zhou. If he were to become Sword God Zhou’s sword slave, it might not be shameful but glorious.

News about Sword God Zhou’s prowess was spreading like wildfire in the outside world. Since he was so close to Sword God Zhou, why not take the opportunity?

On the other side, Zhou Xuanji and the others came to the center of the courtyard. He called Beixiao Wangjian and Huang Lianxin out.

Both of them were stunned after they saw Zhao Congjian.

Zhou Xuanji said, “From now on, he is also my sword slave and part of us. But we will need time to get along.”

What he meant by the latter half was that Zhao Congjian could not know about their plan to avenge yet.

Previously, he had always been creating secret signs and building up their chemistry.

Beixiao Wangjian and Huang Lianxin looked at one another and saw the sense of disbelief in each other’s eyes.

But after thinking about it, they felt that it made sense.

To a swordsman, who did not desire Zhou Xuanji’s sword techniques?

Zhou Xunaji walked to the stone pavilion and indicated for them to take a seat.

After everyone was seated, he asked Huang Lianxin to serve some tea.

“Please say whatever you want to do and I will help you in the future.”

Zhou Xuanji said. The conversation they had previously helped him to understand that Zhao Congjian had hidden trouble that was hard to mention.

With such talents, he was only traveling alone, without any teacher or sect. There must have been a reason for this.

Zhao Congjian hesitated, but when he thought about how powerful Zhou Xuanji was, he replied, “I have someone to avenge, in Great Chen.”

The great Chen Empire was the neighbor of the Great Zhou Empire.

The vastness of land under its rule was comparable to the Great Zhou Empire. The two empires had frequent trade, but few people in Great Zhou knew much information about Great Chen.

“I will help you to avenge,” Zhou Xuanji said as he nodded.

“Aren’t you going to ask who is it?” Zhao Congjian asked in astonishment, “What if my enemy is the Emperor of Great Chen?”

Zhou Xuanji glanced at him and said, “Give me 100 years, even if it’s the Emperor of Great Chen, I will cut off his head and give it to you.”

Beixiao Wangjian and Little Jiang Xue weren’t surprised at all. Zhou Xuanji’s target was Great Zhou’s Empress after all.
