7 Chapter 7 Coincidental meeting at the weapon shop (2/2)

He thought about it. The current spiritual energy was thin, so such beast crystals were probably sparse. Rare things were expensive, so for them to be worth more in the current era than in the future was to be expected.

His family was probably not only rich, but also really strong.

With the flying knife and needles ordered, he still lacked a sword. Although the fine steel sword he carried with him was sharp, it was still lacking.

However, he did not need to custom-make this sword. This Baobing House had many mark swords sold as shop specialties and placed in the front of the shop. Furthermore, they were all specially crafted.

Standing in front of the weapon rack, Zong Shou contemplated for a long time before retrieving a shining Pinewood Patterned Wind Sword.

Although this sword did not stand out among the few mark weapons, wind could increase speed and protection. It was also really light and did not use up much stamina, just as he needed.

He casually waved it around; it was something he could barely use.

Chuxue, who was standing at the side, furrowed her brow as she hesitated, ”Young Master, these mark swords will be difficult to use without spiritual energy and true qi. Why not use normal weapons…”

Zong Shou did not reply. Instead, he silently directed the energy currents in his energy ocean into the sword. Just as the marks were about to ignite, Chuxue swung around and looked down, staring at the door with alert killing intent.

At the same time, Zong Shou heard a laugh, ”We really meet everywhere. Who knew that I would meet cousin-brother in a faraway place like Twisted Market? Wasn't cousin brother at Linhai College learning those chanting methods and spiritual techniques? Why did you come here?”

At the opening to the shop, a young teen smiled as he stepped in. He was similarly extraordinarily handsome, and his words gave off a friendly demeanor, like a breath of fresh air.

Zong Shou instinctively stepped backward. Subconsciously, he felt afraid of this man, but he also felt also a rough sense of hatred. His eyes tensed up as he knew that this was a subconscious action of his body.

In this era, apart from those few characters who stood high above everyone, he was confident about handling even those few experts who had not appeared. What ability did this person have to make him feel fear?

Zong Shou looked past him, and saw two strong men standing behind him. From the way they walked behind him, they looked like followers. They were expressionless, and emitted a deathly aura, like they were his shadows.

However, in his eyes, the two of them were like sheathed swords. It was hard to disguise their sharpness; they were very dangerous.

Be it this young man or the two servants behind him, they all had some skill. They were around the same level as Chuxue!

However, he did not recognize any of these three. He only had a few fragmented memories about the one who called him cousin-brother. He could only turn around; his eyes were filled with a sense of loss.

That young man went along with what Zong Shou did. After taking a look at Zong Shou, he smiled meekly, ”You spent three years in the college and don't recognize me anymore? When we were young, you used to call me Brother Yu, remember?”

Only then did Zong Shou act like he was enlightened, but Chuxue gave a cold snort that was filled with killing intent. ”How fake. Out of the more than ten brothers of Young Master, only you, Zong Yu, likes to be so fake! Weren't the people sent to kill us during these past few days all from you? Trying to assassinate the heir, you entire race should die! Master will definitely destroy all of you traitors one day!”

Zhou Yu did not care and laughed out loud, ”What a good 'kill my entire race'! Xue'er is still so cute after so long. I can't bear to kill you. If it were a few months ago, how would I dare? However, if that uncle of mine is confirmed to have died, even if I personally killed Brother Shou, what could any other people do?”

Chuxue's face instantly turned ashen white, and her body shook as she snorted, ”What are you saying? Only a fool would believe you…”

Zong Yu snorted. He was too lazy to argue with Chuxue as he continued, ”With the empty spot of Monster King, there are many people internally with other ideas, and strong enemies are staring down. Would we really push this trash up onto the throne?”

Looking at Zong Shou, Zong Yu laughed coldly, ”I came here to tell Brother Shou. After all, we are brothers. If you are willing to give up the throne, I'll let you live. If not, don't blame me for being vicious and heartless. This isn't like when we were young and I let you off if you begged…”

After saying that, he swung his sleeves and left. Within the Baobing House, Chuxue's face was green and white, while Zong Shou was deep in thought.
