After much persuasion by Gu Tianxiong, Gu Li finally made up her mind not to disturb Fang Wang. She turned around, entered the attic, and prepared to cultivate.
Gu Tianxiong sighed in relief, thinking to himself that was a close call.
His spur-of-the-moment idea turned out to be ingenious.
Um!
Just like that, he would urge his daughter to focus more on cultivation in the future and prevent her from contacting Fang Wang.
“Dear daughter, in the matter of pursuing a husband, your father will assist you, but for now, keep away from him. After all, Fang Wang has no such thoughts about you; it will only spare you the heartache.” Once Gu Tianxiong thought this, any guilt in his heart vanished, replaced by a sense of being moved.
Being a father who could go this far, truly there was no second one like him!
Gu Tianxiong turned and left, planning to go and talk to Fang Wang.
Matters of taking a wife or concubines could be put aside for now, but some assurances had to be obtained!
Elsewhere.
Fang Wang was sitting at the head of the bridge, stretching lazily. He sighed and wondered, “When will the Sword Sect come? The day should be arriving soon, right?”
Xiao Zi lay beside him, looking at the vast expanse of the lake, and replied, “Who knows? Maybe they got scared.”
If one looked closely, one might see a silhouette practicing swordplay in its snake eyes, its movements swift and nearly indistinct.
Fang Wang turned to look at Xiao Zi, reaching out to rub its serpent head.
In recent months, Xiao Zi had been rather well-behaved, becoming somewhat uncharacteristic of itself.
Fang Wang knew why, because it was immersed in comprehending the sword, a notion he found preposterous.
A serpent had a higher aptitude for the Sword Dao than Song Jinyuan?
It was indeed a serpent that could survive in the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven.
At that moment, Song Jinyuan approached the wooden bridge, walking up behind Fang Wang and stopping. He spoke, “Master’s divine sword still hasn’t been found.”
Sword Saint had passed on the Celestial Sword Intent to Fang Wang, and the Sword Qi was used to shape a Lifespirit Treasure for Fang Hanyu. He even gave his Storage Ring to Fang Hanyu, but the divine sword wasn’t inside the ring.
Before the Sword Saint passed away, most sword cultivators were drawn by the lure of his sword.
It was rumored that Sword Saint’s sword was a Superior Grade Spiritual Weapon with the most powerful force of the Sword Dao infused within it, attracting swordsmen from everyvvhere like ducks to water.
“If it can’t be found, let it be. The master surely had his reasons, and if it’s destined for us, it will naturally appear before us.”
Fang Wang was rather philosophical about it; with three Lifespirit Treasures of his own, he didn’t crave the Sword Saint’s sword.
“Hmm, these are the seventy-one Superior Grade magic swords you asked for.” Song Jinyuan nodded, then tossed a storage pouch into Fang Wang’s lap.
Fang Wang raised an eyebrow, asking, “So soon?”
Song Jinyuan said, “Most were gifts from various factions, organized by Fang Hanyu. After all, you’re the newly risen Sword Saint, and the treasures they present to you would naturally have to be swords. I’ve contributed two myself, and also had a number of Sword Servants go out to purchase a dozen or so more.”
The price of a Superior Grade Spiritual Weapon was no small sum.
Fang Wang was about to pull out Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from his own Storage Ring when Song Jinyuan turned and walked away, leaving behind a remark:
“As the master of Sword Heaven Marsh and my junior, consider it a welcome gift from me. The Sword Servants are also grateful for your teachings on Sword Intent, so no need to reach for your Storage Ring.”
Fang Wang turned to look as Song Jinyuan took five steps before leaping up, riding a sword into the distant mountains.
He couldn’t help but smile; this senior brother was quite tsundere.
He murmured, “Xiao Zi, did you see that? That’s the advantage of having power. When will you set out to establish your own rule and gather Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for your young master?”
“Forget it. I don’t have such abilitv. It’s better for me to stav bv vour side. If vou
ever get bored, you can always play with me,” Xiao Zi replied nonchalantly, causing Fang Wang’s mouth to twitch. All thanks to Gu Tianxiong!
That old rascal!
Fang Wang stopped talking; holding Song Jinyuan’s storage pouch, he began pulling out magic swords one by one to refine and unlock their seals.
It wasn’t long before Gu Tianxiong arrived, incessantly babbling, hoping that Fang Wang would promise not to tell Gu Li about the nonsense they had discussed previously. Fang Wang agreed, but Gu Tianxiong thought he agreed too quickly and suspected a trick, insisting on written evidence. After much hassle, he finally left.
Once Gu Tianxiong was gone, Fang Wang couldn’t help but remark, “Xiao Zi, do you think he’s a fool? Having a written contract is equivalent to creating evidence of his own crime, isn’t it?”
Gu Tianxiong could have simply denied everything outright; now that he carried the written contract, if it fell into someone else’s hands one day, it would spell disaster.
“He’s always been a bit silly,” Xiao Zi responded offhandedly.
With the year’s appointment upon them, Sword Heaven Marsh became bustling with activity; the lakeside was crowded with people, representatives from major sects, including those from Great Abyss Gate led by Greedy Sleeper and Zhao Chuanqian.
“Elder Zhao, the Sword Sect wouldn’t be too scared to show up, would they?” Zhou Bo asked, looking towards Zhao Chuanqian who was sitting in the front meditating, surrounded by hundreds of disciples—all from Great Abyss Gate and none weak, the least of whom were branch disciples.
Other disciples began discussing among themselves, convinced that the Sword Sect had chickened out.
Most people were unfamiliar with Sword Sect’s Kong Xi, but they regarded Fang Wang as a legend.
After cultivating for four years, he made his name in the Nine Veins Combat Method battle; it later emerged that his Lifespirit Treasure was a Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure, and he then swept through thirteen top- tier prodigies.
