Embrace the blade

Everyone in Dongting knows that Wei Min is not only a wealthy businessman, but also a person who is obsessed with the world.It is said that his ancestors once had a decent ranger, but unfortunately the later generations were not satisfactory, including Wei Min himself, his horse gait was not stable, and he was not a material for martial arts at all.But he didn't give up. Apart from pinning his hopes on his son and helping down-and-out knights on weekdays, he changed the name of the manor to "Juyi Manor" with a wave of his hand, which was very heroic.

Juyizhuang is located in the northwest of the city, covering a large area. Now the gate is open to welcome heroes from all over the world.As the day of the Famous Swords Conference drew near, it became even more bustling and lively.

On the attic in the villa, Wei Min stood on the railing, looking at the main entrance full of visitors, his eyes swept over everyone who stepped through the door.

"The three major sects, the Qingshan School and the Guangqin Sect have all sent people here, and the only thing left is to return to Yunshan Villa."

Wei Min spoke suddenly, and the young man standing behind him responded, "There are still a few days left until the Famous Sword Conference, maybe it's almost here."

"Stupid." Wei Min sneered, "Of course Guiyun Villa won't come. They refused to admit that they were attacked and threw their sword. If they sent someone here, wouldn't they slap themselves in the face?"

The boy nodded again and again, fearing his father's majesty, he stopped talking.

Wei Min turned to him and asked, "I asked you to write down the names and sects of all the people who came, have you memorized them?"

"take note of it."

"Look carefully, these are people who are well-known in the Jianghu." Wei Min stared straight at the boy, "Wei Ke, listen carefully, they didn't come here for my sake, let alone for you, if this time If you can't fall into their eyes, then you will never have such a chance again in this life!" He said with a heavy tone, "Moreover, it wasted all my hard work, understand?"

"...Understood." Wei Ke whispered, gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

There was a sudden commotion from the main entrance, Wei Ke looked up, and saw two young people walking in side by side, causing people around to chatter and whisper.Wei Min's expression also changed, and he said in shock: "The green robe and silver sword, that's Xue Le's words, isn't it beside him..."

He turned around and hurried downstairs, Wei Ke quickly caught up and asked strangely, "Father, who are those two?"

Except for a few well-known families, there were very few people who could welcome Wei Min in person.

"The man in Tsing Yi is Xue Le, and he is known as 'Tsing Yi Ke'. You should have heard that his martial arts are as good as his temper." Wei Min's eyes were firmly locked on the other person, "The one next to him, he became famous ten years ago His whereabouts are uncertain, and I only heard his name, but I didn't expect to be able to lure him out this time."

"Is it very powerful?" After finishing speaking, Wei Ke wanted to swallow the silly words back.

Perhaps because he had no time to distract himself, Wei Min didn't open his mouth to scold.He had already arrived in the court, straightened his robes, and slowed down his steps to meet the two young men.

"You two have come all the way from afar, I'm Wei Min." Wei Min cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Thanks to Wei Zhuangzhu's kindness, I'm Xue Le," Xue Le pointed to the person beside him, "this is Qi Zhaoxi."

Wei Min's smile deepened: "It seems that Wei has a good eye, and he really recognized the right person. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Seeing the extraordinary bearing of the two, the Famous Sword Conference will definitely add more style."

Qi Zhaoxi waved his hand and said, "Vendor Wei misunderstood, we two just came to watch the excitement, and we won't be in the arena."

Xue Le also agreed with a smile.

A trace of surprise flashed across Wei Min's face, and then he glanced at his son behind him, and Wei Ke came forward knowingly to say hello.Wei Min patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Unfortunately, I often mention the demeanor of Qi Daxia and Xue Daxia. This child is fascinated, and I only hope to see him and open his eyes. But since the two said so, I will not It's too much to say, and he should be satisfied if he can see the true face."

Wei Ke obediently said: "Yes."

Wei Min didn't exchange any more greetings, and called a servant to take the two of them to their residence, his gaze still fixed on that figure from afar.

"Qi Zhaoxi, haven't you heard of 'One Sword Breaks the Gate of Heaven'?"

Wei Ke was taken aback for a moment, then realized that his father was answering his previous question, and murmured: "...Breaking the Heavenly Gate?"

"Tianmen Mountain is named for its precipitous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, just like Tianmen is insurmountable, and the Tianmen sect has set up formations according to the terrain, confident that it will be invincible, and it has been true for many years. But ten years ago, Xue Le He was mistaken for killing a disciple of the Tianmen Sect and was imprisoned on the mountain, but Qi Zhaoxi broke through the mountain alone and robbed him, one can imagine how amazing his swordsmanship is."

"That……"

Wei Min withdrew his gaze and interrupted his son's words: "Since you want to be a teacher, it is good to have a famous sect, but there are countless disciples under your sect. How can it be compared to worshiping a peerless master, learning unique martial arts, and stepping into the world in the future?" Unique? Do you know how many people have been unable to find him in the past ten years?"

Wei Min's eyes pressed down heavily, making Wei Ke hang his head down, feeling almost out of breath, and said in a low voice, "...my child will not let father down."

Wei Ke walked back behind his father, and couldn't help but glanced in the direction where Qi Zhaoxi left. He remembered that the people from the Tianmen Sect had arrived a few days ago, and they also lived in the East Courtyard of Zhuang. Jian Po Tianmen is famous, so... isn't it because of the enmity with the Tianmen sect?

The servant leading the way was in front, Qi Zhaoxi pulled Xue Le a few steps behind, and then said: "I said, why bother to have a small competition before the famous sword competition. Under the guise of showing off his skills, he took the opportunity to let his son show his talents in front of everyone in the rivers and lakes, paving the way for the future."

Xue Le smiled: "I just saw a lot of young knights waiting in line outside the side door. Even if Wei Zhuangzhu has selfish intentions, it is a good thing that he has specially set up a ring for rising stars to stand out."

Qi Zhaoxi laughed inexplicably, but didn't answer.

"From my point of view, Master Wei still plans to choose a good teacher for his son." Xue Le looked at him, "It seems that he has taken a fancy to you, don't you plan to think about it?"

Qi Zhaoxi said casually: "I'm not going crazy in idleness, would I want to adopt an apprentice?"

Xue Le was about to speak with a smile when he suddenly saw the servant leading the way in front of him stop, and a group of people blocked the way ahead, seeing that they were brothers from the same school in clothes.This is a stone-carved arch bridge connecting the east and west courtyards, with winding water underneath, the bridge deck is not wide, and the two sides face each other, blocking the road impartially.The servant said something respectfully, but the other party seemed to have never heard of it, staring at the two of them, pushed the servant away, and strode up.

"It's troublesome." Just as Xue Le heard Qi Zhaoxi's low sigh, the leader of the opposite party had already arrived in front of him, and he politely cupped his hands and said, "Meng Sifan of the Tianmen Sect, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, do you still remember me?"

"...I don't have any impression." Qi Zhaoxi glanced at Xue Le and said vaguely.In fact, he can be said to have a photographic memory, just now he recognized at a glance that this is the current senior brother of the Tianmen sect, but it's hard to say, remember, you were the one who was knocked out by my sword back then, right?

But his answer was obviously unsatisfactory, and someone immediately snorted heavily.These disciples are just young and frivolous, Tianmen sect is also a famous sect in Jianghu, they are naturally proud, the only shortcoming is that they are overwhelmed by the reputation of 'breaking the heaven with one sword', no one will be happy.

"Okay, let's not mention what happened back then. But today is different. Three days later, at the Famous Sword Conference, we will fight again, and I will definitely make you unforgettable!" Meng Sifan's gesture was polite, but his tone was not small, and the juniors behind him responded one after another. and.

Qi Zhaoxi smiled lightly: "It's unnecessary to never forget it, I just came here to take a look around, whether it's the ring or the famous sword, it has nothing to do with me."

Xue Le also said: "This time the heroes of the Famous Sword Conference gather, there must be better opponents waiting for you."

"It's nice to say, isn't it because you are afraid of losing too badly and lose face, so you don't dare to fight?!" A younger disciple took a step forward.

"Du Heng." Meng Sifan shook his head, signaling his junior brother to be calm and calm.Du Heng stepped back, still looking at the other party provocatively.

Meng Sifan faced Qi Zhaoxi directly, and said, "But if it's not you that I beat in the ring, no matter how good the opponent is, it's meaningless."

Xue Le sighed silently.The Tianmen sect finally bumped into Qi Zhaoxi once, and they couldn't help feeling angry. Coupled with the large number of people, it might be difficult to deal with it.And they were already eye-catching standing on the bridge, and the moment of stalemate has attracted countless eyes from around. Some people with experience in the rivers and lakes can understand the situation at a glance, and they wait and see with great interest.

Qi Zhaoxi didn't care about Meng Sifan's arrogant words, but his tone became more and more lazy: "You can think about it as you like, and I can't stop you. But I'm already old, and I really don't have much interest in ring competitions. .”

Everyone in the Tianmen Sect was in an uproar, and Meng Sifan's face was a bit ugly, he laughed and said, "What's the point, Qi Daxia is not yet [-] years old, even if he refuses, shouldn't he be so perfunctory to us?"

Qi Zhaoxi sighed: "Are you planning to stand here forever?"

"Our senior brothers also have something to do, and I don't know who will stop here for nothing." Du Heng rushed, not only did the group have no intention of backing away, but they held the hilt of their swords and stared at them ready to go. two.

People in Jianghu care about fame and face, and they are not willing to lose an inch. When enemies meet on a narrow road, they cannot give in at all.

The servants on the side were sweating, fearing that they would be hurt, so they retreated a few steps and shrank in the corner.The spectators waited for this moment when they drew their swords, their hearts were raised, their eyes wide open for fear of missing it.

The atmosphere tensed up a little bit, and Meng Sifan put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Since he couldn't move his hand in the arena, it's not impossible for him to show off in full view.

Xue Le and Qi Zhaoxi looked at each other, and then they stepped back at the same time to get out of the way.

The spectators were dumbfounded immediately, and everyone in the Tianmen sect also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xue Le smiled slightly: "Since you have something to do, please go ahead."

"You..." Meng Sifan looked at Qi Zhaoxi suddenly, but saw that he looked calm, tilted his head, and raised his hand as a gesture of invitation.

It's like punching cotton with a punch, and the feeling of having nowhere to vent is blocked.

What's more, according to the qualifications of Jianghu, Qi Zhaoxi and Xue Le can be regarded as half of their seniors. It's nothing to really fight, but it's not appropriate to ask the other party to give way, but at this point, if you continue to argue, They'll just be like pestering street shrews.

Meng Sifan winked at the juniors behind him, suppressed his anger, bowed politely to thank those two, and the group left.

The spectators were disappointed and dispersed.

"If you hadn't been implicated by me back then, you wouldn't have gotten into this trouble." Xue Le walked up to Qi Zhaoxi, with a look of shame on his face.

Qi Zhaoxi looked at him and said, "You didn't beat them back then, and you didn't break into the Tianmen faction, so what's your business?"

Xue Le: "..."
