#712 - Beilian Holy Land
“Dragon Spring Sword”
Just as Wang Nianchu, amidst the surprised gazes of everyone, ran towards Wang Fu, tearfully admitting her mistake for the first time ever, Wei Changtian sat in the carriage, carefully examining the sword in his hand.
There wasn't much to say about the sword itself; it was undoubtedly a Dragon Spring.
However, a tassel of white silk hanging from the sword hilt caught his attention.
He hadn't looked closely in front of the Wang Manor earlier, but now, upon closer inspection, he realized this thing was a bit too effeminate.
It must belong to Wang Nianchu.
“Bang!”
With a curl of his lips, Wei Changtian casually snapped off the white tassel.
He was about to toss it out the window, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and tossed it to Zhang San, who was driving the carriage in front.
“Zhang San, send this thing back to the Wang family tomorrow.”
Moreover, in the current situation, the Black Tiger Token might be even more valuable than an Immunity Token.
Therefore, with such a token, basically no one in Jinzhou would dare to be enemies with the Wang family.
Even though he could have just directly taken it, Wei Changtian still gave the Wang family a bit of compensation.
He didn't think too much about it, merely not wanting to owe the Wang family any favors.
Or rather, he didn't want to have too much entanglement with Wang Nianchu.
After all, judging from this woman's earlier behavior, she didn't seem as stubborn as she was described in the original work...
Huh? What was Wang Nianchu's ending in “Martial Peak” again?
Oh, I remember.
It seemed that after developing feelings for Xiao Feng, the two of them went to some Northern Lotus Holy Land, and then she stayed there as a leader, managing a group of female cultivators as “pure as jade” as her.
However, after several years, she finally “suddenly realized” that happiness had to be fought for, and then she gave up everything and ran down the mountain to find Xiao Feng.
In the end, Wei Changtian didn't know if she found Xiao Feng, because the story didn't mention it before the grand finale.
He didn't know if the author forgot about it, or intentionally left an open ending.
In short, she didn't have much screen time, and was considered one of Xiao Feng's many unimportant concubines.
Hiss...
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but gasp.
He didn't care about Wang Nianchu's fate, but he was very interested in that Northern Lotus Holy Land.
Full of female cultivators... If he had the chance in the future, how could he not personally visit it?!
He just didn't know where it was specifically located...
“Zhang San.”
Suddenly, Wei Changtian ordered, “Have the Suspended Mirror Division investigate a sect called the Northern Lotus Holy Land!”
“Yes!”
Thinking it involved some major issue, Zhang San's expression immediately became serious: “This subordinate will send a message to the capital headquarters immediately!”
“Yes, remember to keep it confidential.”
“...”
It was almost dusk when Wei Changtian returned to the inn.
Because he was going to Huangfeng Valley to kill monsters that night, he and Yang Liushi had an early dinner.
Seeing that he had brought back a precious sword after going out, the latter couldn't help but ask about it during the meal.
Wei Changtian didn't hide anything and roughly explained what happened at the Wang Manor that afternoon.
After listening, Yang Liushi couldn't help but laugh:
“Giggle, if this servant may say so, that Miss Wang didn't say anything wrong.”
“Young Master, you going to their door to borrow a sword, wasn't that just going to rob them?”
“If this matter spreads, the common people will say that Young Master is lawless again.”
“Lawless?”
Wei Changtian took a bite of rice, curled his lips, and said, “In Da Ning, I am the law.”
“Besides, where did I rob them? Didn't I also prepare to give the Wang family a Black Tiger Token?”
“How can a mere Black Tiger Token compare to their ancestral treasure?”
Yang Liushi teased with a smile, “Moreover, Young Master even forced that Miss Wang to kneel down and apologize. Isn't that just bullying others with power?”
“Who told her to scold me? It's good enough that I didn't kill her.”
Wei Changtian shook his head in a serious manner: “Furthermore, I'm also letting her learn a lesson.”
“After all, there aren't many people as reasonable as me. If she still has this kind of personality, she might bring disaster to the Wang family in the future.”
“Hehehe, according to Young Master's words”
Yang Liushi laughed even harder: “Then the Wang family should be grateful to Young Master now, right?”
“Yes, I'm helping them educate the younger generation, so they should thank me.”
Wei Changtian waved his hand: “But I've always been one to do good deeds without leaving a name, so let them be.”
“Giggle, Young Master, your skin is so thick!”
“I don't know if my skin is thick, but I do know that you've been increasingly disrespectful to me, your husband, lately.”
“Really? Isn't this how this servant has always been?”
“Give it a rest...”
“...”
A ray of setting sun fell on the front courtyard of the inn, and a gentle breeze stirred.
Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi chatted and laughed for a while, and soon finished their dinner, preparing to depart for Huangfeng Valley.
They actually didn't take the matter of the Wang family to heart.
Including Yang Liushi, even though she had just “condemned” Wei Changtian a few times, she was actually just teasing him and didn't really think that the latter had done anything too excessive.
Therefore, when the two of them walked to the carriage that was already parked outside the inn, they had already put the afternoon's events behind them.
However...
“Young Master Wei!”
Suddenly, a somewhat nervous soft call came from across the street, also causing the two to stop in their tracks.
Following the direction of the voice, Wei Changtian quickly saw a white dress.
Huh?
Wang Nianchu?
Wei Changtian subconsciously thought that this woman was here to cause trouble for him, and couldn't help but frown.
Zhang San was also very perceptive, and with just a slight wave of his hand, several black shadows suddenly shot towards Wang Nianchu.
“Clang!”
“Clang clang clang!!”
Four or five long sabers were drawn at the same time, instantly surrounding Wang Nianchu, who had just walked to the middle of the road.
“Ah!!!”
“Murder!!!”
“Run!!!”
“...”
The surrounding people, not knowing what was happening, were frightened and turned around to run, and the scene became incredibly chaotic for a time.
However, Wei Changtian ignored all of this, only glanced at Wang Nianchu's pale face, and coldly ordered Zhang San:
“Send the person back to the Wang family.”
“Tell Wang Fu to keep a good eye on his precious daughter.”
“If there's a next time...”
“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Wei Changtian didn't even look at Wang Nianchu, bent over, and climbed into the carriage.
Zhang San responded loudly, and immediately prepared to have people “send” Wang Nianchu back to the Wang Manor.
With the bright blade tips against her neck, Wang Nianchu seemed somewhat aggrieved at this time, but she didn't dare to move, nor did she dare to say anything more.
However, just as a few hidden guards were preparing to take her away, Yang Liushi, who hadn't yet entered the carriage, suddenly waved her hand, signaling to wait a moment.
These hidden guards didn't dare to disobey her orders, so they immediately stopped their movements.
Yang Liushi had already walked in front of Wang Nianchu at this time, looked her up and down, and then said softly with a gentle expression:
“Miss Wang, I wonder what brings you to find my husband?”
“Is it because of the matter this afternoon?”
“If so, then I apologize to you on his behalf.”
“He went to your manor to borrow a sword, but in the end, he caused unrest in your manor. No matter what, he was wrong.”
“However...”
“Miss Wang, I still want to advise you.”
“No matter how unwilling you are, let's leave things at this.”
“Okay?”
