Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Slaughter True Law Sword (2/2)
After that, they shifted the topic and began discussing other matters.
Before long, several people came down from upstairs.
The newcomers were none other than the true people attending the banquet.
Seeing the true people descending from upstairs, the young scions on the third floor all stood up and respectfully greeted them with clasped hands:
“We greet all the true people.” “Please, be seated…”
“No need for such formalities…
Subsequently, the true people approached Lin Jing and the others.
They all clasped their hands in a show of respect.
At this moment, the Zhang Family Patriarch stepped forward and said to Lin Jing:
“Young man, come here…”
Although filled with confusion, not understanding what the Zhang Family Patriarch intended, Lin Jing went over.
“Elder Chunfan, may I know what you instruct?” Lin Jing asked respectfully.
“I have a gift for you…” said the Zhang Family Patriarch.
After speaking, the Zhang Family Patriarch took out a dark red miniature sword less than an inch long from his Space Ring and handed it to Lin Jing.
“This Flying Sword is named the Executioner’s True Sword. It’s a Forbidden Artifact, capable of being used only once, but its power is extraordinary, even a threat to a Golden Core Immortal. I’m giving it to you for your protection.”
A Forbidden Artifact, and one that could threaten a Golden Core Immortal, this Executioner’s True Sword was indeed extremely precious.
Lin Jing dared not accept it and instead turned to look at Elder Yu beside him.
Elder Yu nodded and said:
“Since Elder Chunfan is giving it to you, take it.”
Lin Jing understood that the two must have already discussed it. “Thank you, Elder Chunfan.”
After Lin Jing spoke, he took the small Flying Sword and tucked it away.
Then, Elder Yu said to the Zhang Family Patriarch: “Since you’ve given a gift, I can’t be without a gesture, can I?”
“Young man, come here…”
Elder Yu gestured to Zhang Yuan with his hand.
“I greet Elder Yu…”
Zhang Yuan came forward and clasped his hands to Elder Yu.
Next, Elder Yu took out a shield-shaped Magic Artifact from his Storage Bag and handed it to Zhang Yuan.
“I’m not as wealthy as your Zhang Family, but this shield is a top-grade Defensive Magical Artifact. Its defense capability is quite decent. Once you refine it, you can use it immediately.”
“Go ahead, don’t forget to thank Elder Yu…”
Zhang Yuan took the shield and once again clasped his hands:
“Thank you, Elder Yu.”
“Since a gift has been given, it cannot be the only one…”
After speaking, Elder Yu took out a few more gifts and presented them to the siblings Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing. Even Huang Qingling received one.
However…
Their gifts obviously could not compare with those given to Lin Jing and Zhang
Yuan.
Afterwards, the true people left.
Before they left, the true people instructed them to get together when they could.
The meaning was clear…
Perhaps the true people had already reached some agreement in secret.
From now on, they would likely be ‘people of the same camp’. After watching the true people walk away, Huang Qingling finally spoke:
“Lin Jing, come…”
“Let me have a look at your Executioner’s True Sword.”
Lin Jing took out the miniature sword and passed it over.
Huang Qingling stood up, took the Executioner’s True Sword from Lin Jing’s hand, and then examined it closely.
Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing also gathered around to take a look.
After a long while…
Huang Qingling finally passed the Executioner’s True Sword back to Lin Jing.
“I’m really envious of you for getting such a wonderful treasure…”
“This won’t do…
“I’m feeling unbalanced, you need to make up for it by cooking me some good food…” Huang Qingling said huffily..
