#709 - Wang Nianchu
“Da da da.”
Half an hour later, the sun, which had been high in the blue sky, had already dipped a little towards the west, also slightly lengthening the shadows of the two stone lions in front of the vermilion mansion gate.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Wei Changtian looked at the black and gold “San Huai Tang” plaque not far away and asked with some doubt:
“Zhang San, is this it?”
“Isn't it the Wang family? What does this plaque mean?”
“Replying to you, young master, this is the Wang family.”
Zhang San outside the carriage replied softly: “The San Huai Wang Clan is the largest branch of the Wang Clan in the current Da Ning Dynasty, originally originating from Jin, so almost all large Wang households in Jin Prefecture will hang a San Huai plaque.”
“Oh.”
Nodding, Wei Changtian didn't feel ashamed of his "ignorance" at all.
He wasn't surnamed Wang, and he wouldn't have known about this kind of thing in his previous life, let alone in this world.
“Okay, as long as it's right, you can go.”
“Yes.”
Zhang San responded, and then quickly walked to the bottom of the “San Huai Tang” plaque and knocked on the vermilion gate.
As mentioned before, Wei Changtian had two things to do staying in Jin Prefecture for an extra night.
The first was to go to Yellow Maple Valley to kill the snake demon.
The second was to come to this Wang family to ask for something.
A treasured sword named “Longquan”.
Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, Zhan Lu, Yu Chang, Longquan... Wei Changtian was very familiar with these sword names.
Because they were all famous swords from his previous life!
And now that the “Longquan Sword” had appeared in this world, it was obviously impossible for it to be a coincidence.
The only explanation was that this sword had appeared in 《 Martial Dao Great Pinnacle 》.
The unfortunate author took the easy way out and was too lazy to come up with names himself, so he directly used “Longquan”!
And this also meant that after so long, Wei Changtian finally remembered once again that he had a cheat called "transmigration into a book"!
Well...
Actually, Wei Changtian couldn't be blamed for this.
Because since obtaining the “Myriad Blades Attraction” and the “Starry Sky Saber Sheath”, Xiao Feng's key opportunities had been almost completely snatched away by him.
Although according to the original plot, there were still many good things later on, they were not as valuable as “Dream Dao”, “Demon Capture”, and “Myriad Blades Attraction”, and they were scattered all over the country, so it would take a lot of effort to find them.
More importantly, Xiao Feng was going to die soon.
Once Xiao Feng died, these treasures would fall into his hands sooner or later anyway, so Wei Changtian had never been in a hurry to look for them.
As for why he suddenly came to the Wang family to ask for this Longquan Sword now...
Firstly, of course, because he happened to be in Jin Prefecture, saving him effort.
Secondly, it was because Wei Changtian was preparing to switch to using a sword in the future.
A few days ago, he finally mastered the thirty-fifth stance of the Falling Sky Sword.
Although he was still one move short of the thirty-sixth stance, which was rated as a "pseudo-immortal", the current power of the Falling Sky Sword had already surpassed the Returning Dust Saber.
Then, the former naturally became Wei Changtian's main means of attack in the future.
And since the Falling Sky Sword was a sword technique, then he would definitely need to use a sword.
In fact, Wei Changtian had already had Wei Xianzhi send many good swords.
But just like the original “Dragon's Roar”, although these swords were good, they were not ranked at all in the system's evaluation, and he no longer looked up to them.
As for why not use the Mysterious Heaven Sword...
Besides, the Longquan Sword, which was also at the earth-level, was not bad either.
[Longquan (Longyuan): Sword (Earth-level), looking down at the sword body, it is like climbing a high mountain and looking down at a deep abyss, as deep as a giant dragon coiled within. It can be blessed with imperial aura to enhance sword moves, 400 points]
What does it mean by blessing sword moves with imperial aura?
He was not an emperor and obviously would not have imperial aura.
However, the Qi Luck Yellow Dragon was related to "Imperial Qi Luck", so he wondered if it could be combined with the Longquan Sword.
Well, he could try it after getting the sword...
Closing the system interface, Wei Changtian leaned against the carriage window, lost in thought.
At this moment, the Wang mansion gate not far away slowly opened, and a group of men, women, and children came out of the courtyard, then hurried towards this side.
“This lowly one, Wang Fu, didn't know that Young Master Wei would grace my humble abode with his presence, please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!”
In the blink of an eye, a group of people quickly arrived nearby.
The middle-aged man at the head had a somewhat nervous expression, and he didn't dare to get any closer, only standing a few steps away from the carriage, kneeling down on the ground towards the closed carriage curtain with a “thump”.
“P-Please forgive me, young master!”
Although Wei Changtian had no official position on the surface, his name was more effective than anyone else's in this acre of land in Da Ning and Da Shu.
Obviously, this man named Wang Fu was very clear about this, so at this moment, without saying a word, he led the Wang family to kneel before the carriage, not daring to breathe loudly.
Although he didn't know what Wei Changtian had come to do, and he asked himself that he had never offended the Wei family, he was still frightened enough at this moment, and his back was already soaked in cold sweat after only two or three breaths.
Fortunately, Wei Changtian didn't intend to deliberately torment him, and soon opened the carriage curtain and said calmly:
“Master Wang, please rise quickly.”
“I have only come for one thing, you don't need to be nervous.”
“Yes, yes.”
Trembling as he stood up, Wang Fu couldn't help but be nervous.
However, the Wang family was, after all, a well-known large household in Jin Prefecture, so after taking a deep breath, he also calmed down a bit, and tentatively asked carefully:
“Young Master Wei, I wonder if you could move to my humble abode for a seat, so I can...”
“No need.”
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian didn't intend to get out of the carriage.
“Master Wang, you should know that I am leading troops to aid Xin Feng.”
“Military affairs are busy, so I won't bother you too much.”
“I have only come to borrow an item from your mansion for a while, and I hope you can grant my request.”
“Borrow an item?”
Wang Fu was subconsciously stunned, not knowing what Wei Changtian wanted to borrow from him.
However, after a moment, he reacted, understanding that no matter what Wei Changtian wanted to borrow, he must not refuse.
Therefore, he immediately nodded repeatedly and replied:
“Young master, why do you need to say 'borrow'? As long as my Wang family can take it out, we will definitely offer it with both hands immediately!”
“Well, that's best.”
Wei Changtian nodded slightly, turning his head to look at Wang Fu outside the carriage window: “Master Wang, then I will be frank.”
“I heard that your mansion has a treasured sword named Longquan.”
“I happen to be short of a handy weapon to kill the enemy on this trip to Xin Feng, so I would like to borrow this sword for a period of time.”
“Since Master Wang is so forthright, then please quickly fetch the sword.”
“...”
A gentle breeze brushed past the carriage curtain, slightly obscuring part of Wei Changtian's profile.
Hearing the latter's words, Wang Fu froze on the spot, and after a long while, he stammered:
“Y-Young Master Wei, how, how did you know...”
“Master Wang, I will naturally know if I want to know.”
Wei Changtian smiled, his tone unchanged: “Not only that, but I also know that this sword is currently in the hands of your daughter, Wang Nianchu.”
“Since she is not here now...”
Turning his head to look at the men and women still kneeling on the ground, and finding that the woman described in the original novel was not among them, Wei Changtian waved his hand and urged:
“Then hurry and have her come back, I'll take the sword and leave.”
“...”
Staring at Wei Changtian with wide eyes, Wang Fu's eyes were now filled with fear.
The reason was none other than the fact that very few people knew of the existence of the Longquan Sword, and even fewer knew that it was currently in his daughter's hands.
So, how did Wei Changtian...
Thinking of this, Wang Fu swallowed his saliva, not daring to think further.
He immediately turned his head and shouted sharply at a servant:
“Go! Send a message to Nianchu! Tell her to come back immediately!”
“Yes, yes! Master!” The confused servant responded and hurriedly turned and ran away.
“Young master, Nianchu, she...”
Watching the servant run into the mansion gate, Wang Fu turned back tremblingly, wanting to explain a few words to Wei Changtian.
However, when he saw that the carriage curtain had been closed again at some point, the words he had said halfway came to an abrupt halt.
Even more frightened, Wang Fu dared not speak again, nor dared to move rashly, and could only stand there in a state of anxiety.
Wei Changtian in the carriage curled his lips and muttered to himself softly:
“Wang Nianchu...”
“What a terrible name, it's not good at all.”
“Why didn't I feel that way when I was reading the novel before...”
