Chapter 60
The swordsman in blue robes stopped smiling just as a figure suddenly appeared outside the window of his room.
“What’s the matter?” he said faintly without looking at the window.
“Sect Master has ordered me to tell Senior that the Sword Freak, Chen Wenjie, has arrived in Runan two days ago, and he asks you to be careful of the experts from the Clarity Sect and the Righteous Sect.”
The swordsman glanced at the figure and said politely, “Thank you.”
“There’s one more thing. Old Senior Ji of the Evil Sky Pavilion is likely to have arrived in Runan as well. Sect Master wants to know what your plans are.” The figure spoke in a hesitant tone, as if he were a little afraid.
“It has nothing to do with him,” the swordsman’s voice grew lower as he said.
The figure instinctively took a step back.
The swordsman smiled again as he took the kettle from the table and poured a glass of water, “You don’t have to be afraid, my friend. The wind is strong out there. If you have nothing else to do, please come in and have a glass of water.”
“Please wait a moment, Old Mister!” The stalker finally lost his patience.
Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er turned slowly and saw a young man who looked less than thirty years old.
“What do you want?”
“I want to buy something from you, Old Mister.”
Little Yuan’er said angrily, “We’re not selling anything! Go away!”
The young man paid no attention to Little Yuan’er and just stared at Lu Zhou.
“The fact that your short sword could destroy the Couple Swords proves that it is an excellent sword. I am willing to buy it at a high price,” he said.
Lu Zhou asked calmly, “You were there yesterday?”
The young man nodded. “That’s right. I had intended to discuss this with Old Mister yesterday, but an expert was present, and I had to avoid him.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “You like swords?”
“I regard swords as my life, and I love them to the bone,” the man said slowly. “I was going to kill Zhuo Ping and take the Couple Swords, but I didn’t expect that someone killed him before I could do anything. It’s a pity that the expert destroyed the sword too…What a pity…” His words were filled with regret for the sword.
“Who is that expert?”
“I didn’t see him. However, his true identity is not difficult to guess. In this world, there are only three people who can use swords to such an extreme level.” For a moment, the young man seemed to have forgotten his objective as he went on, “One of them is the villainous patriarch of Evil Sky Pavilion, Ji Tiandao, who is also the one I fear the most…”
Little Yuan’er covered her smile with a hand and said, “Then you should be running right now!”
