I guarantee that I won’t hit you
Enjoy the First regular chapter!
Du Shaofu turned to look at the brawny man and said, “You didn’t get the chance to improve your cultivation level, I think it you must have done so stupid things.”
As a matter of fact, Du Shaofu didn’t know anything about the brawny man. He was rely deducing from what he had seen.
He was a Xiantian cultivator but he was rely a guard. Despite being the leader of the guards, he didn’t receive any promotions from the higher ranks. Judging from his age, he had been a guard in Lan Ling Prefecture for a long ti now, otherwise, he wouldn’t be the leader of the guards. One could easily figure all of these out with so effort or contemplation, but it couldn’t be applied to him because the bystander always had a clearer vision.
“How did you guess all of these?” He looked at Du Shaofu and continued. “If your words were backed with good reasons, I will release you. If they were nonsense, I will beat you up,” the leader threatened.
“A fortune teller would probably deceive you for eight or ten years, but I am not one of them. Today, you would find out the truth imdiately.”
Du Shaofu said with a smile. “Judging by how you handled my arrival, it was enough to portray your incompetence.”
“What do you an?” His big eyes moved, doubting whether this brat was just playing a trick on him.
Du Shaofu continued, “Try think about it, I requested to see the Lord of Lan Ling Prefecture just now, but you didn’t even inform any of the people inside. What if I am really a relative of the Lord? At that ti your misfortune would certainly find you because I would surely not let you go.”
After pausing montarily, he continued, “If I deceived you, you just have to beat up to express your anger. You wouldn’t suffer any losses. So why don’t you inform the people inside that I want to see the Lord? Perhaps I may give a few positive comnts about you in front of the Lord. At that ti, maybe you would get promoted.”
Movents were seen on the brawny leader’s eyes. Despite thinking that what Du Shaofu said was reasonable, he still didn’t believe him. “Brat, why would I believe you? If you are a liar, the Lord would certainly berate and I will be the unlucky one!”
“You would certainly believe with this.” Du Shaofu took out a sword. It was an ordinary sword with so cracks on it. The sword was given by his drunken dad before he left Stone City. His dad wanted him to bring this word to the Lord of Lan Ling Prefecture, Ouyang Ling.
Du Shaofu passed the sword to the brawny leader and said, “This is a token from . Bring this to the Lord and I’m sure that he would seek the owner this sword once he sees it.”
The guard hesitated for a mont before he finally agreed. He took the sword from Du Shaofu and said in an impolite tone, “You will wait here. I will go and inform the Lord.”
He then walked into the courtyard after finishing his sentence. He instructed the other five brawny guards to fix their eyes on Du Shaofu, fearing that he would slip free.
Du Shaofu was standing in front of the grand door with composure in his eyes but he wasn’t really confident if this would succeed, he didn’t know how close his dad and the Lord of Lan Ling Prefecture was. All of these were only based on his assumptions.
After the courtyard was a whole stretch of palace-like buildings.
Inside a grand hall, in a study that was renovated in antique style, a middle-aged man was holding a jade scroll in his hand. The talisman texts on it were fluctuating. It was a news jade scroll. This type of news jade scroll wasn’t a rare item, it was normally used as a gadget for getting the latest news. It was a very convenient tool as texts and sound could be recorded in it.
The middle-aged man had a handso face. His thick eyebrows were rebelliously pointing upwards and curled slightly below his eyelashes due to its length. Both of his eyes were closed while extracting the latest information from the jade scroll. His nose bridge was tall and his skin was fairly dark. Regardless of how you see it, he was a man with attractive features.
*Hu*
A mont later, he opened his eyes. The clear and morning-dew-like eyes glittered as he muttered, “It has been almost seventeen years. He finally moved.”
“Brother Ning.” The door of the study was pushed open when a beautiful woman with a fire-red dress ran in.
This was a pretty married woman who seed to be in her early forties, but she looked younger than her age. She had a slim and attractive figure. As her feet touched the ground gently, sounds of knocking from the jade pendant against her body was heard. Her dark hair was tied in a cloud-flowing knot* that was stuck with a few stalk of flowers. She rushed to the middle-aged man in just a few steps.
“Shan i, our kid has already grown up but why are you still being so impatient? Don’t tell that it was because she had done so terrible things?”
He turned to look at his beauty. His eyes exuded love and tenderness.
“Brother Ling, see...”
The beautiful woman lifted her head. The jade-like skin on her face was slightly reddish and her eyes were filled with excitent while she handed a long sword to him.
His gaze fell upon it, it’s a sword. His eyes moved with his body as he grabbed the long sword. He swallowed while touching those cracks and marks on the sword. He then said, “Green Veins Sword. Yes, there is no doubt about it. This was the sword I gifted him at that ti.”
He then shifted his gaze to the woman and asked, “Shan i, is it that fellow? Did he co to Lan Ling City?”
The woman in red dress slightly shuddered and shook her head. “They said it is a young man. He said that he is your relative.”
“A relative...”
The middle-aged man muttered and smiled, saying, “It must be that fellow’s son. I have received the news about the father and son from Liu Yun County. I have never thought that the kid would co.”
“It’s Sister Ao Tong’s kid. Her kid is very pitiful. We will welco him to our ho.” Her eyes were mildly welled up with tears.
“Welcoming him to our house...”
The middle-aged man’s eyes moved as he murmured. “That’s right. He is that fellow and Ao Tong’s kid, which ans he is our kid too. That kid is truly pitiful.”
She then replied in a soft tone, “Since he had co, we have to take care of him nicely on behalf of Sister Ao Tong. We can’t let him nurse a single grievance.” After finishing, she imdiately turned to bring Du Shaofu in.
*Weng*
When the sword was unsheathed, a clear sound was produced from it.
“Shan i, slow down.”
He called her woman to stop while looking thoroughly at the Green Vein Sword.
“Brother Ling, what is it?” She asked doubtfully.
The middle-aged man then pointed at the Green Vein Sword and said, “Shan i, what do you see?”
“I can see that this is the Green Vein Sword, there isn’t anything else apart from it.” She didn’t notice anything special about it, besides its na and usual features.
“That fellow let his kid co and find , but why is a token needed in order to see ? Could it be that he needs sothing from us?” The man looked at the sword in his hand and sighed. He then said, “I gifted this Green Vein Sword to him because he saved my life. Now he had sent his kid and the sword to , which would only an that he wants to entrust with sothing.”
“Brother Ling, you an...” The red-dressed lady said in astonishnt, her facial expression changed quite a bit. “Could it be that that fellow wants to be a lone ranger? So he sent his kid to our care without considering the kid’s future anymore?” She continued.
“I’m afraid that that might be the case. He had waited for nearly seventeen years and now that his kid has beco an adult, he won’t have any worries anymore after sending his kid to us.” He sighed.
“That fellow, how could he go alone? He wouldn’t be able to deal with that powerful and mighty figure alone.” The red-dressed woman also sighed but her gaze turned cold as she added,, “Unfortunately, our strength isn’t enough yet to help them.”
“He had sent the sword and his kid to us. I think that he did not really want to entrust his son to . Why would he need to entrust with sothing given my close relationship with him? I don’t think that this is his real intention.”
The middle-aged man’s brows fluttered slightly. The Green Vein Sword shook in his hand, releasing a wave of sword energy that produced a buzzing sound. It was swift and fierce. He then said. “From the sword intent, it says quick and forceful. That fellow wants to fulfil his responsibility. He wants to train his kid!”

Outside the grand door, Du Shaofu was waiting quietly. A few monts later, he saw the brawny leader rushing out.
“Brat, the superiors want you to wait.”
The brawny man ca before Du Shaofu with a depressed face. When he went into the palace, he was stopped by the vice chief before eting the big chief. He didn’t even have a chance to et the Lord.
“Alright.” Du Shaofu replied. He didn’t know why but he started to feel nervous.
He never have much understanding about his drunken dad nor his friends.
Now, the Lord of Lan Ling Prefecture that he was about to et was the first person whom his drunken dad ntioned. He could probably use this chance to know more about the past of his drunken dad. This was one of the things that he really wanted to know. Now, he finally had the chance to get in touch with the people that was related to his dad’s past, so naturally, he would feel nervous.
The brawny guard looked at Du Shaofu and noticed his composed expression. He then said, “Brat, treat this as returning a favor for helping you to inform the Lord. Tell whether you are a relative of the Lord or not. Even if you aren’t, I guarantee that I won’t beat you up.”
Du Shaofu rolled his eyes and asked, “What is your na?”
“Wang San, I am ranked number three in my family.” He was stunned and said.
“Wang San, I will rember you.”
Du Shaofu patted his shoulder and said with a serious expression. “I will surely give a few positive comnts about you in front of the Lord. So that you would be promoted soon.”
The guard’s eyes were filled with doubts while staring at Du Shaofu. He didn’t know whether to believe this brat or not. He sohow felt that this brat’s words didn’t sound truthful to him.
*Krrek*
At this ti, the grand door of the compound was opened. Normally, only the small door beside the grand door would be opened.
There were people rushing out of the entrance. The first was a woman in red dress....
