In the tea room, there was a well-dressed man in gold-rimmed glasses, who looked gentle and in his early thirties, sitting.
Next to him, there was an old man with white hair and beard who looked to be at least sixty years old but had extremely muscular muscles.
Especially the old man's right hand is obviously thicker than his left hand.
"Master Gu, the stipulated deadline has come. I don't know how your surrender letter is prepared. If nothing happens, just sign it now. I still remember to go to Liaodong if I have something to do."
The gentle man said calmly.
Gu Ye snorted coldly and said calmly, "We have an agreement. Whoever forges the Orchid Sword first within the specified time limit will win. I wonder how prepared you are?"
The gentle man snorted disdainfully and glanced at the old man next to him.
The old man took out a long sword box from his back, slowly pushed the lid open, and a blue light suddenly appeared, revealing a blue sword inside!
"Orchid Sword!"
Gu Ye had finished eating, and stood up immediately, "This is impossible, how did you do it in such a short time?"
The gentle man smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Do you know who the old gentleman next to me is?"
Gu Ye quickly looked at the old man. When he saw that the other man's right arm was obviously thicker than his left arm, he was surprised and said, "You are Zhao Manchui!"
The muscular old man smiled lightly and said, "You do have some sharp eyesight."
Gu Ye felt his legs were weak and he slumped down on the chair, his eyes empty.
He had also made this treaty with the Xu family on impulse.
The two families agreed that whoever casts the Orchid Sword first at the appointed time would win.
The loser must not only cut off his arms, but also sign a letter of surrender and announce to the world the termination of the inherited sect.
The ancient master's lineage has been passed down for hundreds of years, and he is about to watch it be ruined by his own hands!
In fact, he was not just impulsive at that time, because he knew that it was very difficult to forge the Orchid Sword. Even if he could not do it within the agreed time, the Xu family would not be able to do it.
In the end, I'm afraid there won't be a winner.
But they never expected that the Xu family would actually hire Zhao Manchui as a helper!
Zhao Manchui does not belong to any sect, but in the sword-making world, he is a legendary figure.
With extraordinary talent and extraordinary qualifications, his strength can definitely be ranked among the top five in the entire sword-making world!
No wonder Xu Lin acted so calmly when he signed the bet with him!
"Master Gu, you didn't expect it."
Xu Lin sneered and said, "Our Xu family and your Gu family belong to the same lineage of sword making, and we have been fighting for hundreds of years without a winner."
"Now, I won't hide it from you. In order to destroy your lineage, our Xu family has been deploying for decades, and we have been waiting for this moment."
Master Gu suddenly thought of something, stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "It was agreed at the beginning that our Gu and Xu families, whoever casts the blue sword first will win, but this sword was cast by Zhao Manchui, so it doesn't matter.
You can’t be considered a winner!”
Xu Lin laughed loudly, "Master Gu, Master Gu, you don't look stupid at all. Why can't you understand this?"
"If our Xu family really invites foreign aid, I won't even have time to hide it. How can I bring them to you in a big way?"
"As I said just now, in order to destroy your lineage, our Xu family has been preparing for decades and has laid out a big game. Wildhammer, please tell Master Gu!"
The old man gently shook his right arm, which was obviously thicker than the left, and said with a faint smile, "Strictly speaking, my name is Xu Manchui, and I have the blood of the Xu family in my body. This can be used for bloodline identification."
"What, you are from the Xu family!"
Master Gu was shocked, "But...why..."
The old man smiled and said, "From the day I can remember, my old master has assigned me a mission, asking me to completely erase my true identity and travel around the world."
"If not, how can I learn the skills of hundreds of families in making swords? If you know that I am from the Xu family, how can you dare to make this bet?"
Master Gu was completely desperate.
Only then did he fully understand that everything was a trap!
The Xu family had carefully laid such a big plan against his Gu family!
"I still don't know something."
Master Gu said, "Even if Xu Manchui's sword-making skills have reached the level of proficiency, how can he forge the Orchid Sword in such a short period of time?"
Xu Manchui laughed loudly and said, "Do you think that I have erased my true identity and walked around the world all these years just to confuse you and learn from the best of hundreds of schools of thought?"
"With my current sword-making skills, I definitely can't make a blue sword in such a short period of one month."
"However, I have some friendship with the sword-making sect of the Shancheng Chen family. They lent me a high-grade sword furnace. It originally took ten days to smelt the iron mother, but it only took me one and a half days, which naturally shortened the sword-making time.
.”
Top grade sword furnace?
When Yang Xuan heard this, his ears immediately stood up and he asked, "Which quality sword furnace is it?"
"Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here?"
The polite man said disdainfully.
Master Gu was shocked. This was a master swordsman. Xu Lin was looking for death when he spoke like this!
However, seeing that Yang Xuan was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "This is a friend of mine."
Yang Xuan once warned him that he was never allowed to reveal his identity, so Master Gu would never say that Yang Xuan was a master of swordsmanship, otherwise the two of them would be scared to death.
Although the Xu family is powerful, it has never produced a sword master level master in all these years.
"Master Gu, sign it."
Xu Lin didn't pay attention to the plain-looking Yang Xuan at all. He took out a surrender letter from his arms and threw it on the table.
Gu Ye's eyes were full of despair. He picked up the pen and was about to sign when Yang Xuan suddenly reached out to stop him.
"I saw the agreed time. Tomorrow is the deadline. Who said we would lose?"
Yang Xuan looked at Xu Lindao.
Xu Lin was stunned, then burst into laughter, "Do you think you can cast the Orchid Sword in more than ten hours?"
"What would you say if I could cast it?" Yang Xuan asked.
"If you can do it, I will lose this bet, and our Xu family will immediately sign a surrender letter and announce to the world that we will completely withdraw from the sword-making world!"
Xu Lin confidently said.
"Okay, then I'll invite you two to have a few more cups of tea here. I'll be back when I go!"
Having said that, Yang Xuan couldn't help but drag Mr. Gu towards the backyard.
"Sir Sword Master, it's not that I can't trust you. Although you are superb in swordsmanship, forging a sword is not that easy. Let alone more than ten hours. Even if you give me another year, I may not be able to do it!"
Master Gu said anxiously.
Yang Xuan ignored what the other party said and said as he walked, "Get the materials ready, and prepare a small hammer weighing three kilograms for me."
Master Gu's eyes were full of helplessness.
It seems that this sword master knows nothing about sword making.
This Orchid Sword is an epee. When casting it, the heavier the weight of the hammer, the better.
The reason why Xu Manchui was able to forge the Orchid Sword in such a short time was because his right arm had amazing strength, and the sledgehammer he used weighed more than 300 kilograms.
But this Lord Sword Master said he wanted a small hammer weighing three kilograms. This... this is simply child's play!
