Chapter 349 Gems and Fragments

"Look, Ye Fan is starting to make moves on his senior sister!"

"I knew they had a complicated relationship!"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's just because Senior Sister sprained her ankle, so I used the 'Snow Condensation Technique' to apply ice to her ankle and massaged it. It's normal!"

Under the prying eyes of Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin, Ye Fan and Ding Ding reminisced about the past, but to them, their words of reminiscing were no different from love words -

"Sister, why are you here?"

"It's just that we've been separated for a long time. This time I came with my master, so I just wanted to see you by the way."

"Master is here too?!"

"Yes, do you want to meet me?"

"This……"

Lu Ping pulled Shen Jianxin and prepared to retreat.

"What are you doing? I haven't seen enough!"

"The Fifth Manor Master just made a mistake that all men would make. What's so good about it? Don't forget why we came to Cangjian Manor tonight!"

After Lu Ping's scolding, Shen Jianxin woke up as if from a dream: "We must be on guard against the Japanese!"

"That's right!"

Lu Ping said seriously: "Perhaps while we are watching the show here, the Japanese have already entered the villa and started stealing treasures!"

"Although we don't know what they are looking for in Hangzhou City, their purpose is definitely not good, so we can't relax at all!"

The two returned along the same route, and Li Fu had been waiting there for a long time.

"You guys are finally back?"

"Did you find anything in the villa?"

He thought that Lu Ping and the other man had gone to the villa to gather information.

"Manor Master Ye Wu may have a lover outside." Shen Jianxin blurted out the explosive news without hesitation.

Li Fu was stunned, and became furious when he heard this: Is this what I want to hear?
Then he changed his face to an expression of eating melons, took out a bag of melon seeds from his pocket, pulled down his mask and started eating: "Tell me in detail!"

"So so, so so..."

“Oh?!! Hiss——! Awesome!!”

After the gossip, Shen Jianxin felt relieved and raised his eyebrows at Li Fu: "You are a bit wild, can you estimate how much money you can get if you sell this news to the Tang Dynasty Post?"

Li Fu pondered for a moment and sighed, "There are many gossips about rich young men like this in the world. Unless there is solid evidence, there is not much to be gained."

"Especially Ye Fan, the Fifth Manor Master. Before his marriage, he was a well-known 'dissolute young man' in the martial arts world. He often lingered in the Qixiu, Wanhua, Wudu and other sects with many female disciples, playing the piano, singing and dancing with countless young ladies."

"Even if it's revealed now that he had an affair with his lover after marriage, it's not too surprising!"

"The most he'll do is cause discord in his family, and Tang Xiaowan will scold him and say 'you're going to die'."

"But as a whistleblower, there is a high probability that you will be retaliated by Cangjian Villa no matter what, so I advise you not to do something that will harm others and not benefit yourself!"

Li Fu’s words made sense and Shen Jianxin was immediately convinced.

"No... I'm telling you two, aren't we here to enforce justice in the dark tonight?"

Normally, Lu Ping is also someone who loves to gossip.

But whenever he gets together with the two people in front of him, it seems that only serious things remain.

"Yes, yes, yes... Justice! Justice in the darkness!!"

"But we have been waiting here for so long and haven't even seen the shadow of a Japanese. How can we enforce justice?!"

For a moment, the three of them fell silent.

Suddenly, Shen Jian had an idea, clapped his hands together, and said, "Could it be that our previous thinking was wrong?"

what? !

You actually questioned my logical reasoning ability as one of the Four Wisdoms of the World?!
Li Fu looked unhappy: "Tell me what you think?"

"Perhaps those Japanese people didn't come here for the fame of Cangjian Villa, but for someone participating in the competition?"

Huh? !

"I didn't realize you actually have some brains!" Li Fu looked at Shen Jianxin with a bit more surprise.

Shen Jianxin was speechless: "Everyone in normal condition would want this, right?"

"But there are so many people coming to participate in and watch the competition. Do we have to look for them one by one?"

After Lu Ping said this, the air around them fell silent again.

"Why don't you go back and take a shower and go to bed? We have a game tomorrow!"

"Makes sense!"

"good idea!"

They came out for such a trip, but they didn't get anything except accidentally bumping into the emotional gossip of a rich young man. The three of them seemed to be lacking interest on the way back. Especially Li Fu, who made a mistake in prediction and failed to successfully uphold justice in the dark, which hit him hard and he was almost unable to sleep that night.

At the same time, in a hidden and dirty street in Hangzhou City, in an inconspicuous inn.

In the backyard, the door of the toilet was pushed open by a pair of weak hands, and then Shibata Michisue walked out.

"Damn it! What's wrong with the food in this inn?"

"Why do I have diarrhea the whole night after eating?!!"

"I have to temporarily interrupt my plan to explore Cangjian Villa at night..."

In front of the toilet, a group of Japanese warriors were holding their stomachs, clamping their legs together, standing in line, waiting to use the toilet with a look of discomfort on their faces.

"No way, Captain!"

"It's because we entered the city too late. The better inns are all full, so we can only stay in a place like this for the time being."

A Japanese warrior shouted, "The food here is definitely not hygienic! Why don't we report him tomorrow?"

Shibata Michisue heard this and shouted angrily: "Idiot! Use your brain to think about it. How can we possibly defeat the locals? Even if we report it, it will be in vain."

"Then let's forget it?"

"Although I am unwilling, for the sake of my lord, I will bear with it for the time being..."

In fact, Li Fu's speculation was not wrong. The Yin-Yang masters and warriors from Japan did have the intention of going to Cangjian Villa to "steal treasures".

It was just a 'small accident' that caused the plan to fail.

……

The next day, the rematch of the sword fighting competition officially started.

According to the schedule, there will be four matches of 'eight to four' this morning, and three matches of 'semi-finals' and 'finals' in the afternoon to select the final champion.

Before the game started, the person in charge of the organizer finally showed up.

As rumored, the person in charge of this event is not the five current owners of Cangjian Villa, but the eldest lady Ye Qifei.

When she appeared, she also showed the prize of this competition, which was the sword.

The name of the knife is "Xishan", it is three feet and two inches long and weighs twenty-seven pounds and three ounces. The blade is red as fire and engraved with black and white dragons.

The sword is named "Yinghua", three feet long and weighs thirteen pounds and seven ounces. The blade is pure white like snow, with a pair of red carp engraved on it.

The appearance of this pair of swords is naturally as gorgeous as ever, but the most eye-catching thing is the pair of dazzling gems inlaid on the blade and the blade.

Considering the wealth of Cangjian Villa, the gems themselves are not very expensive, but because of the color of the gems and the perfect setting, they look like the scene of "two dragons playing with a pearl" or "two fish supporting auspiciousness".

Seeing the sword, the people below began to praise it.

"The knife is murderous, the sword is sharp, what a pair of swords!"

"The style of this pair of swords is perfect for a couple!"

"It seems that Cangjian Villa's business will surpass Badao Villa again this year!"

"I heard that this pair of swords was made by Miss Ye herself. Even the two gems on them have a story..."

"I know, I know. It's the story of 'sea monsters offering treasures', right? There's a storyteller in the city who specializes in telling this."

"That's just a publicity stunt. No one would really believe it, would they? I don't believe it anyway! A sea beast offering treasures? It sounds fake..."

In the crowd, Shibata Michisue, who disguised himself as a passerby, looked at the pair of swords on the stage with shining eyes.

Or to be more precise, what he was looking at were the two gems on the pair of swords!
“Found it…Found it!!”

“I didn’t expect that the thing I’ve been searching for for so long would be right here!”

“It really takes no effort at all!”

"From the energy and aura, there is no doubt that those two gems are the lost body of the master!!"

After confirming the existence and location of the target, Shibata Michisue did not act hastily, but instead quietly withdrew from the crowd with his men and explained the matter.

The Japanese soldiers were overjoyed to learn that this operation had finally paid off.

"Captain, aren't we going to take action?"

"Are you an idiot?! There are at least five or six thousand people in this arena. Not to mention that there are less than ten of us, even if there are a hundred times more of us, we will only get beaten!"

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Let's wait and see for now. When the game is over, we can just snatch the swords from the champion!"

If I take action now, I will inevitably attract public anger and become the target of public criticism;
And if they wait until the competition is over and then attack the person who got the weapon, then they will only have one enemy.

Shibata Michisue could still tell which one was riskier and which had a higher success rate: fighting with a group of people or fighting with one person.

"Fortunately, as early as a month ago, after I sensed the presence of the fragments of the Lord's body in Dongwulin, I sent someone to send a letter back to Japan to inform them of this."

"Calculating the time, if the lord successfully received the message and rushed over, he should be here by now."

“When the time comes, let alone the five or six thousand people here, even if there are a hundred times more people, they will not be a match for the lord!”
