Duan Lang had not come to seek refuge with Aoyun on impulse, but after careful consideration.
Although it hadn't been long, he had indeed seriously considered the pros and cons before making the decision!
Aoyun was really too young. Moreover, he lacked experience in the pugilistic world, so there was a chance for him to turn the tables.
……
After today's competition was suspended, there was no need to specially inquire about it. Rumors about Aoyun could be heard everywhere.
This matter had already spread like wildfire in the World Conference.
There were many sources of information.
One of them was the steward of the Internal Affairs Hall.
He had once gone to the Sword Reverence Manor to order a batch of weapons for the elite disciples. Thus, he had some understanding of Aoyun's situation.
There were also some Xiantian experts who were discussing it and the maidservants overheard it.
However, most of the gossip was spread by the disciples of the small and medium-sized forces near the Sword Reverence Manor.
There were all sorts of news, and most of them were hearsay and imagination. There wasn't much meaningful content.
Generally speaking, everyone would only treat it as a topic of conversation at the wine table. No one would really delve into it.
However, Broken Wave was different.
He remembered every rumor about Aoyun in his heart!
Why would Duan Lang care so much about Aoyun?
At that time, Xiong Ba had not threatened him.
There was only one reason-the Fire Kylin Sword!
The Fire Kylin Sword was Duan Lang's family heirloom, so he recognized the Fire Kylin Sword under Aoyun's feet at a glance!
Moreover, the family sword technique he practiced, the Eclipse Sword Technique, had a weak connection with the Blazing Kylin Sword.
For some reason, the Fire Kylin Sword did not respond to his summons.
However, Duan Lang was still 100% sure that it was the Blazing Kylin Sword that had gone missing in the Ling Yun Cave with his father!
Duan Lang was very excited at that time, but he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
All of this was because the strength displayed by Aoyun was simply too terrifying!
Duan Lang knew his own limits. Aoyun, who could fight with Xiong Ba, was not someone he could provoke.
If he wanted to take back the Fire Kylin Sword, he could only plan slowly!
Understanding everything about Aoyun was naturally the most important step.
After a summary of the information that General Broken Wave had obtained, he quickly made a judgment about Aoyun.
This was a martial arts fanatic, plus…a rookie!
Without a doubt, Aoyun was definitely a martial arts fanatic through and through.
Otherwise, after the Sword Reverence Manor had a new Manor Lord, they would not have only spread the news to the outside world and not even held a succession ceremony.
When asked why, he only said one thing: The manor lord is in seclusion!
The Sword Reverence Manor wasn't some small force. It was one of the top forces in the Chaos Domain, and even Xiong Ba had coveted it for many years.
Aoyun had become the Sword Reverence Manor Lord, but not only did he not have any grand ambitions, he even ignored them and only wanted to cultivate in seclusion all day long.
If such a person was not a martial arts fanatic, then what was he?
As for Aoyun being a rookie…
It was because he had never left the Sword Reverence Manor and had never walked the martial world.
Moreover, most of the martial arts fanatics were purer.
This kind of person believed that only by focusing on nothing else could one go further on the martial path!
It was because of this understanding that Duan Lang ran over to seek refuge with Aoyun.
Because he was confident that with his methods, he could easily control Aoyun!
Although Duan Lang had never experienced the martial world, the environment he lived in was a martial world. It was even more complicated and dangerous than the outside world!
The World Association was not some righteous faction, this place was a miniature version of the pugilistic world!
In the martial world, the lower the status, the more difficult life was. This also created those people's treacherous and cunning temperament.
And in the World Association, this situation was magnified ten times, even a hundred times!
If one did not have some special means, it would be a luxury to live a safe life here!
Being in such a big dye vat, Duan Lang could live so comfortably not only because he was strong enough, but also because he had more brilliant methods than others!
A greenhouse flower who had never left the villa, so what if she was strong?
Duan Lang believed that with his own methods, he would definitely be able to play Aoyun in the palm of his hand!
The only troublesome one was Madam Ao.
That woman was not simple.
Every time Duan Lang heard news about the Sword Reverence Manor, the person who was mentioned was always Madam Ao and not that Xiantian expert Sword Demon!
However, that was all in the future.
As long as he could join the Sword Reverence Manor, Duan Lang would have plenty of ways to deal with Madam Ao.
From the very beginning, Duan Lang had never intended to be loyal to Aoyun. He only needed a springboard to enter the big stage!
He originally thought that Aoyun was easy to deal with.
However, Duan Lang changed his mind with just one question.
Aoyun was a hundred times more difficult to deal with than expected!
"Lord, to be honest, I took the initiative to serve you because I wanted to stand out as soon as possible and make Xiong Ba regret what he did today!”
"The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is indeed a colossus that only lowly people can look up to. However, it is precisely because it is too powerful that lowly people are unwilling to join it!”
"I don't know how long it will take for me to stand out in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, where experts are as common as clouds. I've already waited for ten years in the World Conference. I don't want to wait another ten years!”
Duan Lang spoke earnestly, not hiding his ambition at all, as if he was being honest with Aoyun.
If he didn't know his background, Aoyun might really believe him.
Unfortunately, Aoyun knew what kind of person Duan Lang was.
If he didn't join the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, was he afraid that he wouldn't be able to make a name for himself?
Nonsense!
He was clearly afraid that his thoughts would be seen through by a god!
Aoyun saw through everything, but he didn't point it out. He just calmly said,""Your strength is still passable, and your aptitude is also not bad. Since you have taken the initiative to serve, I naturally will not reject talents.”
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
Hearing this, Duan Lang immediately kowtowed to the ground excitedly.
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy. There are some things that must be made clear first.”
"I am a person who rewards and punishes clearly. As long as you work hard for me, you will naturally receive benefits.”
"I believe you already know about Sword Greed, right?”
Duan Lang quickly nodded and expressed his loyalty once again.
Aoyun ignored him and continued to talk to himself,""But if I find out that you have disloyal intentions, then…your miserable ending will definitely be far beyond your imagination!”
When Duan Lang met Aoyun's emotionless eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he felt suffocated.
For a moment, he even wanted to give up on his original plan!
However, the humiliation and unwillingness in his heart made him determined again.
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely go through fire and water for you to repay your kindness today!”
Aoyun stared at Duan Lang, his eyes flickering.
Regardless of Duan Lang's character, there was one thing that could not be denied. This guy was indeed a talent.
Therefore, Aoyun did not mind giving him a chance!
"The Fire Kylin Sword belongs to your Duan family. Take it!”
Aoyun casually threw the Fire Kylin Sword to Duan Lang.
Duan Lang was obviously stunned.
He had never thought that Aoyun would actually be so generous to this extent.
The top 30 sword in the Heaven Secrets Weapon List, the Blazing Kylin Sword, was actually given to him without even frowning!
Feeling the familiar aura, Duan Lang forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. As he thanked her, he caught the Fire Kylin Sword.
When the Fire Kylin Sword entered his hand, Duan Lang didn't have time to sense it carefully before his eyes suddenly became empty.
Puff!
After a breath, Duan Lang suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. He threw away the Fire Kylin Sword and staggered back a few steps before finally falling to the ground.
"You, what did you do to me?"
Duan Lang questioned loudly, the hatred in his eyes almost tangible.
However, there was a deep fear hidden in the depths of his eyes!
"A leopard can't change its spots. Dogs can't change their ways!”
Aoyun said leisurely. With a wave of his hand, the Fire Kylin Sword flew back into his hand.
"No matter how cunning a person is, Sword Heart will always be the most honest!”
