Chapter 1043: Chapter 1042: Heading to the Hidden Sword Pavilion
Chen Tianlong followed Jian Wanli into the hall, with Li Bingshuang and Mo Jing closely behind. As soon as they entered, they were amazed by the hall’s decor. The various sword-shaped designs and furniture made it feel like they had entered a world of swords.
"Dad, look who your daughter has brought." Jian Wanli was evidently very happy, although she wasn’t sure if Chen Tianlong really had a dozen wives, but having a husband like him made her truly excited.
Far more impressive than the usual n she t; so lacked strength and were unattractive. If a man had strength, it was okay if he wasn’t good-looking, but having neither was unacceptable. In comparison to Chen Tianlong, who was handso, had great swordsmanship, and was soone she was genuinely attracted to.
Everyone knows that love is primarily about feelings. If two people don’t have that connection, no matter how close they are, they will still feel distant, and no spark of love will ignite.
"Oh, my dear daughter, congratulations, congratulations! You’ve finally found your ideal match. It couldn’t have been easy."
Jian Wuming’s words carried hidden aning, understandable given the competition had lasted over two months with daily matches, yet no one caught her eye. Initially, Jian Wuming would sit in the audience, but after a week, when his daughter still didn’t fancy anyone, he stopped attending.
"Hehe, made you wait impatiently, huh? Don’t think I don’t know. You attended for a while and then stopped because you were frustrated with my choices, right?" Jian Wanli pouted as she spoke.
"Not at all, absolutely not. I was waiting for you to bring your chosen one ho. After all, you’re more accurate in your selection. I’m afraid my presence would affect your judgnt." Jian Wuming chuckled, explaining that he didn’t dare cross his headstrong daughter.
"Really? Well, now I’ve found him, this handso guy here. Dad, take a look, you must not dislike him." Jian Wanli’s spoiled personality left Jian Wuming without a temper.
"Alright." Following his daughter’s direction, Jian Wuming saw a young man standing in front, smiling broadly. At first glance, nothing seed special, quite ordinary. But upon a second look, Jian Wuming took a deep breath. This young man exuded a powerful aura, a result of his Five Elents Body Qi.
At this mont, Jian Wuming furrowed his brow, sensing Chen Tianlong’s extraordinariness. Why was this person’s body so peculiar with such a strong Five Elents aura?
"Master, sothing serious has happened! In the Hidden Sword Pavilion, a sword suddenly started trembling violently and then flew around the room. We, who were supposed to polish the sword, were injured by it, fortunately, it stayed sheathed, or we’d have been dood." Xu Dabao, the butler of Hidden Sword Manor, reported anxiously.
"What? Which one?" Jian Wuming seed to rember sothing and asked hurriedly.
"It’s the one placed in front of the Sword Family’s ancestral statue for worship. It’s terrifying; it’s actually flying." Xu Dabao described with so amazent.
"Hiss~ It’s that one. Don’t panic, I’ll go take a look." After saying this, Jian Wuming was about to leave.
"Dad, I want to go too. Might as well bring Chen Tianlong along for a look." As Jian Wanli spoke, she pointed to Chen Tianlong behind her. Jian Wuming had roughly grasped the situation, realizing this young man was Chen Tianlong.
He thought for a bit, anyway, since his daughter had taken a liking to this young man, he was considered family, so there was no harm in letting him see the Divine Artifact. Thus, Jian Wuming nodded and followed them out.
On their way, they encountered Xiao Jianteng, who Jian Wanli had t before, along with his three subordinates. Seeing Chen Tianlong and Jian Wanli, they hurried forward and said, "Miss Wan Li, we et again."
"Yes, we et again." Their words seed similar, but one spoke plainly, while the other added emphasis on "again," completely altering its aning; one was a chance encounter, the other an indication of annoyance at eting again.
"Haha, you must be the Manor Master. It’s a pleasure, a long-standing wish to et the Sword Manor Master in person, and now I finally have. Truly delighted." Xiao Jianteng hurriedly tried to establish a connection, eager to et Jian Wuming, and now he wouldn’t let the opportunity slip.
"Oh? And who might this be?" Jian Wuming noticed this young man suddenly appearing and, unsure of his background, inquired of Jian Wanli.
"Father, he is..."
"I am the one who defeated Miss Wan Li but wasn’t chosen," Xiao Jianteng interrupted Jian Wanli, emphasizing his victory.
"Oh? Daughter, what’s going on here?" Jian Wuming started to piece things together. If soone defeated his daughter, they should have priority, so why did this young Chen Tianlong beco his son-in-law instead?
"Dad, here’s the thing, both Chen Tianlong and Xiao Jianteng defeated , but I prefer Chen Tianlong, so I chose him, while this guy just wants to et you." Jian Wanli replied with a bit of annoyance.
"et ? For what reason?" Jian Wuming was puzzled and directly asked Xiao Jianteng.
"Uh, it’s rather complicated to explain in a short ti. Why don’t you let
tag along so we can chat more later, Manor Master?" Xiao Jianteng, unaware of their destination, seized the rare opportunity to tag along, hoping to discuss further.
"Alright." Jian Wuming thought his Hidden Sword Pavilion had frequent visitors lately, and besides, there were no particularly precious swords there. Moreover, the pavilion was guarded and equipped with caras, so no one would entertain mischievous thoughts.
A group of seven soon entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion, with Xiao Jianteng’s subordinates stopped at the entrance since Jian Wanli hadn’t approved any family friends accompanying him, whereas Chen Tianlong was family, thus his friends were naturally allowed in.
Ultimately, seven people entered, while others waited outside. Jian Wuming surveyed the surrounding treasures; all seed secure, but the Dragon Slayer Sword, before the Sword Family’s ancestral statue, was trembling continuously, occasionally flying up.
Jian Wuming leapt forward, reaching the sword, intending to grasp it, only to find it kept shaking. Surprised, he hurriedly placed both hands on it, managing to calm it down for now.
Relieved, Jian Wuming prepared to place the sword back in its spot. But the mont he released it, the sword started vibrating again, appearing as if it would rise on its own.
Chen Tianlong found it intriguing and quickly approached to help return the sword. Yet, miraculously, before he got close, the sword "swooshed" into his hands and obediently stayed still.
"Hiss..." Jian Wuming inhaled sharply, perplexed by the situation before him. In the next mont, his eyes widened as Chen Tianlong actually drew the Dragon Slayer Sword from its sheath.
