Hearing the young swordsman's words, Senior Brother Xu's eyes flashed with light.
Listen carefully and quickly.
Not only Senior Brother Xu, but also everyone else burst out with great enthusiasm when they heard this.
The big man at the beginning even shouted back: "Cold Light Sword? Are you talking about Senior Chen Mo?"
"Cold Light Sword? I must have heard of it."
"That person is the only candidate for the top spot on the list in the past year. How could I not have heard of him?"
"That's right, that guy has traveled all over southern Xinjiang in the past six months, and his reputation has already spread."
Everyone was talking and enthusiastic.
Seeing everyone's appearance, the young swordsman who asked the question was very happy and asked quickly.
"Then do you know where he is recently?"
Hearing this, Senior Brother Xu forgot to eat the food that was on his lips. He quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
This time it was also the big man who spoke first.
"Little brother, why are you asking this?"
"Oh, I want to go become a disciple." The young swordsman replied excitedly.
"Apprenticeship??!"
Hearing this, everyone present laughed.
Seeing this scene, the young swordsman was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Yes, what's so funny?!"
The big man waved his hand and couldn't help but explain with a smile.
"Little brother, don't you know? Since that one obtained the title of "Candidate for the Strongest" and ascended to the Strongest List, many children from aristocratic families have gone to become their disciples, but they have all been rejected by that one."
Having said this, the big man paused for a moment and then continued.
"You know, among them there are many young talents who are famous throughout southern Xinjiang. In the end, that one was so disturbed that he said he did not want to accept disciples, and the craze for apprenticeship gradually dissipated."
After the big man finished speaking, someone else continued.
"On the list of the strongest, there are thirty-six strong ones, and only seventy-two strong candidates. How could such a big man accept a disciple so easily?
Little brother, let’s try another one. For example, the Biyun knife we just mentioned is very good. I heard it has a good temper, you can try it."
Seeing that no one had any ill intentions, the anger dissipated from the young man's face.
"Thank you for your kindness, brothers. I still want to give it a try."
Seeing his persistence, no one tried to persuade him.
The big man thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "The latest time, I heard it was over there in Blood Crow Mountain."
In an instant, Senior Brother Xu's body was shaken.
Blood Crow Mountain?!
Hearing this, Senior Brother Xu stopped eating, picked up his long sword, stood up instantly, and walked out of the restaurant.
…
On the Cangmang River, a huge passenger ship floated down the river.
Chen Xinzhu stood on the deck and looked into the distance.
This time, his goal was a bit far away, so he took a special boat trip.
"Hello, can I stand next to you?"
Chen Xinzhu glanced away and saw a 20-year-old woman in a green dress looking at him with a smile.
No hostility was found, and Chen Xinzhu withdrew his gaze.
"As you wish."
Seeing Chen Xinzhu's somewhat indifferent attitude, the woman was slightly startled.
Due to their outstanding appearance and prominent family, women have always been the objects of pursuit by men.
This was the first time she had encountered someone with Chen Xinzhu's attitude.
But she was not an ordinary person, and she quickly came to her senses.
After glancing at Chen Xinzhu, she walked to the edge of the deck as if nothing had happened and looked at the river in the distance.
Chen Xinzhu ignored her.
His gaze seemed fixed on the river in the distance, but in fact Chen Xinzhu was thinking about strengthening the first sword.
Ever since Han Tian became a master of Tianren Martial Arts, Chen Xinzhu suddenly discovered that there was still room for improvement in his first sword of the Dugu Nine Swords.
In other words, the first sword can become stronger!
This is also a topic that Chen Xinzhu is currently tackling.
…
Standing next to Chen Xinzhu, Yu Shanying felt quite uncomfortable for some reason.
In fact, the position where Chen Xinzhu is standing has always been her exclusive position.
At this time every day, she would come here to enjoy the river breeze.
As the eldest daughter of the Yushan clan, the first aristocratic family in southern Xinjiang, her actions were naturally noticed by the crew members of the family's affiliated chamber of commerce, and they have always made it convenient for her.
Unfortunately, the crew member who used to watch her position happened to go to the toilet.
As a result, today's position is occupied by Chen Xinzhu.
Of course, it was impossible for Yu Shanying to say this to Chen Xinzhu.
If she didn't tell him, Chen Xinzhu wouldn't know, so he wouldn't give up his position to her.
Originally, Yu Shanying didn't care. Although there was one more person standing beside her, she didn't think it would have any impact on her.
She thought she could still calm down and enjoy the peace brought by the river breeze as usual.
But she didn't know why, she just couldn't calm down today.
Just then...
"cousin!"
A young girl's voice came from behind, Yu Shanying turned around and looked a little surprised.
"Cousin, cousin, why are you here?"
There were a man and a woman. The man was wearing a blue gown. He looked to be in his twenties and looked very impressive.
The woman is in her late twenties, wearing a long smoky purple dress, with red lips and green teeth, and a slender head and eyebrows.
"My brother said he wanted to come out to have some fun, so I came out with him."
The girl in the purple skirt waved her hand gently to Yu Shanying and replied with a smile.
Nodding slightly, the man in green shirt also smiled and said: "If you want to enjoy the river breeze today, can you go with your cousin?"
Hearing this, although Yushan Ying didn't like this cousin, she glanced at her smiling cousin and could only nod in agreement.
"Please, cousin."
Hearing this, the smile on the man's face became more obvious.
He nodded slightly and walked to stand next to Yu Shanying.
The girl in the purple skirt also walked over and deliberately stood on the other side of Yu Shanying, separating Chen Xinzhu and Yu Shanying.
Seeing this scene, Yu Shanying raised her eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
But before she said anything, the girl in the purple skirt spoke first.
Seeing that Chen Xinzhu didn't respond at all to their arrival, the girl in the purple skirt complained softly to Yu Shanying.
"Cousin, is this your friend? Which family does he belong to? Why don't you say hello?"
Hearing this, Yu Shanying glanced at Chen Xinzhu apologetically and explained to her cousin.
"Cousin, please don't be rude. This eldest brother and I don't know each other."
Hearing this, the girl in the purple skirt's eyes lit up and she looked at Chen Xinzhu carefully.
It didn't look familiar at all, I didn't recognize him at all.
It seems that he is not a direct descendant of several famous families.
After confirming this, the girl in the purple skirt became less polite when she spoke.
"Hey, since we don't know each other, why are you so close to us? Go away quickly?"
As she spoke, the girl in the purple skirt waved her hands in disgust.
Hearing this, Yushan Ying's face changed.
"surface……"
Before Yu Shanying could say anything, the man in green shirt had already followed his sister's words and said to Chen Xinzhu.
"My friend, although what my sister said is a bit unpleasant, it is indeed inconvenient for you to be here. Can you please give in?"
Looking at Chen Xinzhu, he said with a smile without waiting for anyone to interrupt.
"It's important for people to be self-aware. People who don't recognize their own identity will be in bad luck. You said..."
"cousin--!!"
Seeing that the man in green shirt was talking more and more, Yu Shanying quickly interrupted him angrily.
"You have said what you said."
After scolding the man in green shirt, Yu Shanying apologized to Chen Xinzhu with a full face.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Seeing this scene, the man in green shirt said unhappily: "Cousin, what are you doing? How can you apologize to a guy with muddy legs?"
The woman in the purple skirt also spoke up and said, "That's it, cousin, we are descendants of a noble family, how can we apologize to a lowly mud-legged person?"
Having said this, the woman in the purple skirt didn't wait for Yu Shanying to speak, pointed at Chen Xinzhu's nose, and cursed in disgust.
"Mudleg, you still won't leave? Do you want us to drive you away?"
When he heard the two people saying more and more unpleasant things, a cold light flashed in Chen Xinzhu's eyes.
