Chapter 306 (2/2)

However, he had recently specially questioned Wang Tiangang, who had seen the Rebirth Sword Technique before. Although Zhou Xingwen did not know of the principle behind the sword arts theories for the sword technique, one thing was for sure—Wang Tiangang had started to secretly learn the Rebirth Sword Technique.

“I think that there’ll be people who will manage to pick it up in at most another half a month.” Zhou Xingwen tried to flatter and smiled, saying, “Isn’t this why I’ve come earlier to bring up this topic with you? I hope that you can let me handle the management of the Rebirth Sword Technique’s authorizations. I’ll guarantee to fight for you to get the greatest interest.”

Being the authorized agent, Zhou Xingwen would represent Fang Xingjian to discuss the price, durations and other aspects of the authorization with the other academies, factions, military, and other concerned parties.

After all, with how busy Fang Xingjian was, there was no way that he would have the time to handle all that business talk.

It went to show how much Zhou Xingwen’s status and reputation would grow if he could become the authorized agent for a sword technique like the Rebirth Sword Technique.

Zhou Xingwen felt that this set of sword technique was a revolutionary one, and could even change how sword arts in the country would progress. Regarding this aspect, Zhou Xingwen might have thought further compared to people like Hoppes, who merely pursued it for a higher level of mastery and skills.

However, Fang Xingjian continued to shake his head and said, “I’ve already promised to hand this to Ferdinand. His clan has connections with quite a number of schools.”

“Then I won’t get involved with academies,” Zhou Xingwen said. “Although Ferdinand’s clan might have some connections with academies, they are just a clan in a small prefecture, and they might not have any connections in other areas.

“For example, the various major factions, or major influences such the Church of Universal Truth. There’s also the Empire’s military strongholds, undercover agents, as well as Imperial troops. They would probably not be that familiar with these areas, right?

“Myself and the Western Society backing me up, we have deeper connections and will definitely be able to bring you greater benefits. Our alliance will definitely be a win-win situation.”

The Empire referred to those who came from the distant end of the Western Sea, the people with yellow skin and black eyes, as Westerners.

People like Zhou Xingwen and Wang Tiangang were both descendants of Westerners and the Western Society which Zhou Xingwen had set up was an organization similar to a clansmen association. It was also the group which he had once invited Fang Xingjian to join in the past.

Hearing Zhou Xingwen’s suggestion, Fang Xingjian was enticed. Although it would not be a problem for Ferdinand to have talks with academies, they did not have a strong enough backing to be liaising with other factions, as well as the various military forces, undercover agents, and dark influences. After all, Ferdinand’s clan was not of high-level aristocracy to begin with.

If Zhou Xingwen’s Western Society could help handle the deals for these areas, it would be much better.

Fang Xingjian nodded and said, “I think that we can try to work something out, but you guys will not have the final say. You can discuss the details with Ferdinand and then let me know the results after you guys have come to a conclusion.”

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s words, Zhou Xingwen got very excited. He nodded and said, “Xingjian, trust me. You definitely won’t regret this. Our Western Society’s potential is not as simple as a school saloon’s.

“I’ll go look for Ferdinand right away.”

While speaking, Zhou Xingwen stood, excited. He then suddenly said, “Right, Xingjian, what other things do you like to eat? I’ll get someone to send them to you in a few days’ time.”

“It doesn’t matter what they are, as long as it’s a ferocious beast and it tastes good.”

“Hehe. Alright, I’ll get them prepared.” With that, Zhou Xingwen smiled secretly to himself and left.

Not long after, James walked in.
