Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 56 Invitation to Battle

"Ye Shi really never thought of being this honorary guest minister, I asked him for it." Zhang Tao said.

Regarding this daughter, Zhang Tao knew in his heart that if this matter was not explained clearly, Ye Shi might be in trouble.For such a potential swordsmith, Zhang Tao really didn't want to give him a bad impression.

After all, Ye Shi and Zhang Yang seem to have a very good relationship now, but they have only known each other for two days. At this time, the relationship is not extremely strong, and any situation may disintegrate the current situation.

"Father." Zhang Ling looked at her father in confusion, wondering what his father was thinking.

"Sister, don't look at elder brother like this, he is a fifth-rank swordsmith." Zhang Yang also stood up at this time. He seemed to have made elder brother unhappy just now. Hang up, I'm afraid I'm really going to make my brother angry.

"Fifth-rank swordsmith?" Zhang Ling looked at Ye Shi suspiciously, "How is it possible, he is still so young, how could he be a fifth-rank swordsmith? He must not be a liar."

"Xiao Ling." Zhang Tao's tone couldn't help but increase at this time.

For a master swordsmith, the greatest insult is to be doubted about his swordsmithing ability, just like a swordsman with a high level of cultivation is questioned as a swordsman who doesn't understand anything. , can completely offend a proud master swordsmith.

Especially now that Ye Shi is still young, Zhang Tao thinks that the younger he is, the more he achieves, the more proud he is. I am afraid that Zhang Ling's words are more serious than any doubts.It is even possible that the Zhang family missed the opportunity to make friends with a future senior swordsmith.

It's a pity that Ye Shi doesn't care much about such 'insults'. In the past, they were all faked. In fact, Ye Shi also thinks that he is a liar. Even today, he is still thinking about how to fool those young masters of the family.

"Young Patriarch, don't be angry, I also doubt the strength of this Master Ye."

At this time, a middle-aged man came in. Although he was talking to Zhang Tao, his eyes were fixed on Ye Shi. Obviously, this middle-aged man came for Ye Shi.

"Master Xu." Zhang Tao frowned.

This master Xu is Xu Dongyuan, one of the swordsmiths enshrined by the Zhang family, and he is a guest official just like Wang Hai.In terms of sword casting, Xu Dongyuan is slightly better than Wang Hai, but this Xu Dongyuan was recommended by another family member, so he is not familiar with Zhang Tao.

Even Xu Dongyuan, Zhang Tao's other courtyard, has never been here a few times. This time, he came here on purpose, obviously with a purpose.Coupled with what Xu Dongyuan said and the fact that his gaze never left Ye Shi, it's not hard to guess what's going on.

"This is Master Xu, whom I have admired for a long time." Ye Shi said with great honor.

In fact, Ye Shi didn't know Xu Dongyuan at all, and the reason why he was happy was because he finally got rid of Zhang Ling's entanglement after his arrival.Although now it seems that Xu Dongyuan is most likely to find fault, but Ye Shi would rather deal with an uncle than face a girl in the past.

Because, when facing the uncle, Ye Shi will always take advantage.But facing a girl like Zhang Ling, Ye Shi knew without thinking that he must be the one who suffered.

Don't get entangled with a woman, otherwise you must be the one who suffers.These are good words that Ye Shi learned when he was on Earth.

Xu Dongyuan was quite satisfied with Ye Shi's attitude, but when he remembered Zhang You and Zhang You's words, Xu Dongyuan's expression darkened again, and he said, "Don't be glib, you should know what I am looking for you for."

"Uh." Ye Shi was speechless for a moment, he is not a fortune teller, how could he know, "It's better for Master Xu to make it clear."

"I don't believe that you have the strength of a fifth-rank swordsmith master, so I challenge you. If you are really a fifth-rank swordsmith master, use your actions to prove your identity." Xu Dongyuan snorted. He looked a little confused, but he thought it was just pretending.

"Challenge!" Ye Shi was a little speechless. He was shot even while lying down, and he came to this house for a stroll without any problems, and even attracted a fifth-rank swordsmith to challenge him.

It's not that Ye Shi is afraid of an ordinary fifth-rank swordsmith, it's just that it is very troublesome to compete in swordsmithing, and Ye Shi is also afraid that his swordsmithing skills will be too strong and scare the opponent.But looking at Xu Dongyuan's appearance, it seems that this competition is imperative, even if he refuses, it's useless.

But Zhang Yang and others actually agreed with it. Apart from Zhang Yang's trust in Ye Shi and his belief that his elder brother would win, so the competition would be fine, Zhang Tao, Lu Hanmei and Zhang Ling's attitudes were that they wanted to see Ye Shi. sword casting ability.

It seems that the refusal is impossible, so I can only agree, but there is also an advantage in doing so, that is, if this sword casting competition wins, then the matter of fooling around among the children of the aristocratic family should be a very good impetus .

"Okay, Master Xu said so, I agree." Ye Shi shook his head.

"In that case, at noon tomorrow, we will have a competition in the lobby of the Zhang family. I hope you can arrive on time." Xu Dongyuan said.

After finishing speaking, Xu Dongyuan didn't look at Ye Shi again, as if Ye Shi had already agreed, he confessed to Zhang Tao and others, and then walked towards the entrance of the other courtyard.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Zhang Tao and others were thinking about tomorrow's sword casting competition. Among them, Zhang Ling felt that this was an opportunity to know Ye Shi's ability, and whether it was really what his father said.

"Well, can anyone tell me who that Master Xu was just now?" Ye Shi asked at this moment.

"You bastard, I just heard you say that Jiu Yang really thought you knew Master Xu, but I didn't expect that you didn't even know who Master Xu was." Zhang Ling suddenly laughed.

Thinking of Xu Dongyuan's appearance before, it seemed that Ye Shi respected Master Xu very much, but in fact it was Ye Shi who frightened Xu Dongyuan for a moment. .Similarly, because of this, Zhang Ling also became a little worried, whether the other party really just lives by mouth.

"Master Xu Dongyuan is a fifth-grade swordsmith." Zhang Tao quickly explained, and told everything about Xu Dongyuan one by one.

Ye Shi listened, but he became a little pensive, not because he was worried about Xu Dongyuan's opponent, in fact, Ye Shi was distracted not long after Zhang Tao started talking.If it is pure sword casting, there is no need to be afraid, but there is a problem with Zhang's sword casting. The shop can help control the fire, but it can't be done outside.

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so don't think about it for now." Ye Shi shook his head, not wanting to think about this troublesome thing for the time being. Compared with these, the jade box on the stone table made Ye Shi more curious .

When he came, Ye Shi noticed this thing, and it was actually packed in a jade box. Such a big jade box is quite valuable just like that, so what will be the contents inside.For Ye Shi, who is seriously short of money, this thing in front of him is more tempting than the dispensable sword-making competition.
