"Young man, why do you have to be so ruthless?”A faint voice rang out.
A middle-aged man walked out of the house. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had messy hair. His eyes revealed a righteous aura, and his entire body was filled with sword qi that was waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Xie Xuan knew that this person was the martial arts legend, Nameless Heavenly Sword.
Speaking of Wu Ming, there was no one in the martial arts world who did not know him. When he was young, he defeated the Sword Saint, the number one swordsman at that time. He also defeated the top ten sects of the martial arts world with his own strength. For a while, he was glorious. Later, he became depressed because of the death of his beloved wife and retired from the martial arts world for decades.
Xie Xuan admired this martial arts legend from the bottom of his heart, so he said respectfully,""Junior was rude, please forgive me, Mister Nameless. The leader of the World Association, Xiong Ba, asked junior to send a letter.”
Xie Xuan took out the letter from his bosom. Under Jian Chen's venomous gaze, he took a few steps forward and handed it to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming took the letter and said,""Thank you for your Sect Leader's concern. Please rest in my humble abode. After I finish reading this letter, I will write a reply and ask you to bring it back to Sect Leader Xiong.”
Xie Xuan didn't refuse and followed Wu Ming into the house. Jian Chen put away his Hero Sword and followed him in without saying a word.
Wu Ming sat on the main seat and placed the letter aside. He gestured for Xie Xuan to sit down and then said to Jian Chen,"Chen 'er, a guest is here. Why aren't you serving tea?”
"Yes, Master," replied Jian Chen respectfully.”Then, he went down to prepare tea.
Xie Xuan and Wu Ming sat across from each other. He observed the martial arts legend's actions. There seemed to be nothing special about him at the moment. He was just an ordinary martial artist.
"I haven't asked for your name yet, little brother? What was his current position in the World Association?”Wu Ming asked with a smile.
"I'm Xie Xuan, an ordinary member of the Heavenly Frost Hall of the World Association."”
"Oh? If my guess is correct, little brother's martial arts aren't weak. How could he be a mere sect member? Xiong Ba is a person who cherishes talent.”Wu Ming asked curiously.
"I won't hide it from Senior. I've only joined the sect for less than a month, so it's normal for me to be an ordinary sect member.”Xie Xuan said generously.
At this moment, Jian Chen brought over two cups of tea and placed them in front of Xie Xuan. He looked at Xie Xuan with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
As a nameless disciple, coupled with his outstanding talent, he had been able to do everything smoothly for the past ten years. Now, he was defeated by an unknown person. It was a great humiliation.
Seeing this, how could Wu Ming not know what was hidden in Jian Chen's eyes? Hence, he said,"Chen 'er, don't be rude. Victory and defeat are common in a military school. It's good for young people to suffer some setbacks.”
Jian Chen was berated by Wu Ming. How could he dare to stay any longer? He hurriedly retreated.
Xie Xuan looked at Jian Chen's departing figure and couldn't help but think of the story. In the original novel, Jian Chen had once been corrupted by jealousy and even betrayed his master after being tempted by others. This was all related to his personality.
There was a flaw in his character. Without going through the experience of Jianghu, he had already become a proud son of heaven under the guidance of Wu Ming. This also determined that he could hardly withstand setbacks, which was why his temperament had undergone a huge change under the influence of the outside world.
At this moment, Xie Xuan had a compassionate heart and said to Wu Ming,"Senior Nameless, this junior has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it.”
"Little brother, feel free to speak." Wu Ming said.”
Xie Xuan nodded and said," Your disciple, Jian Chen, is extremely talented. However, because he has been by your side for a long time, he lacks experience in the martial world. Although he is magnanimous, he can't withstand setbacks. I think that if there is a chance, we can let him travel the martial world to increase his experience. Only then can he achieve true success."”
Hearing this, Wu Ming pondered for a while and said,"Little brother is right. I will consider this matter carefully.”
After saying this, Wu Ming picked up the envelope at the side and opened it. He took out the letter and read it.
Xie Xuan picked up the teacup at the side and slowly drank it while waiting for Wu Ming to finish reading the letter.
"Kacha!" With a cracking sound, the teacup on the table beside Wu Ming shattered from the middle. The cut was very neat, as if it had been cut open by a sharp blade.
Xie Xuan raised his head and saw that Wu Ming was surrounded by many invisible sword qi. The sword qi had left sword marks on the surrounding tables and chairs.
Xie Xuan felt that it wasn't a person in front of him, but thousands of swords that were coming at him. He instinctively grabbed the hilt of his sword, and all the muscles in his body jumped up.
"Ding…discovered Level 5 Platinum Skill Ball. It contains the Myriad Returning Swords Technique. Do you want to absorb it?”
Ten Thousand Swords Return! Xie Xuan shouted in his heart. This was a supreme secret manual that people who did not know how to use the sword dreamed of. It was an extremely high level of swordsmanship. Once it was used, it was like a servant meeting its master. It was as if he was worshipping a god. As soon as the sword move was executed, an incomparably sharp sword force was born from his body. His body turned into a green smoke, and the force spread in all directions. Countless sharp swords flew like a storm. The swords danced in the sky like a net, incomparably sharp, and it was a spectacular sight.
Although it required one to cripple one's martial arts to learn it, Xie Xuan did not have this problem. The system had long since overcome this flaw and allowed him to learn it directly.
"Absorb!"
The attribute ball turned into endless sword qi and entered Xie Xuan's eight extraordinary meridians. His subconscious understanding of the sword had increased to an extremely high level.
"Absorption successful. The host has obtained level 1 of the Myriad Returning Swords technique and has entered the small success realm.”
After Xie Xuan absorbed it, he barely managed to maintain his mood and said to Wu Ming,"Senior, why are you so angry?"
Only now did Wu Ming realize that he had lost his composure. He was also glad that Xie Xuan was not weak. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would probably be injured by the sword qi that Xie Xuan had unintentionally released.
However, Wu Ming was sharp enough to see a few sharp sword intents in Xie Xuan's eyes. He hadn't noticed them earlier. Although he was shocked, his many years of self-restraint allowed him to quickly calm down.
"I'm not angry. It's fine if you know the contents of this letter. Many years ago, my wife was murdered. I chased the murderer for many years, but there was no news.”
This was Xiong Ba's olive branch to Wu Ming, but Wu Ming shook his head and said,""Forget it, I won't ask about the Jianghu anymore. I'll write a letter and decline your Sect Master.”
Xie Xuan knew that this matter had been settled, so he planned to pack up and leave after Wuming finished writing the letter. At this moment, he heard Wuming ask,"Little brother, you carry a long saber on your back, so you should be cultivating saber techniques. Why do I feel sword intent from you?”
