Eternal Sword

Chapter 389: Langya Pavilion Master

It was dark outside, but the lights on both sides of the lobby made it bright.

Chen Tang found a random seat and sat down, looking calm and resting with his eyes closed.

Ali was still standing aside, holding the box.

Whenever she arrived at a strange place, even if there might be no danger, she was not used to sitting.

Killing is inconvenient.

Mei Zhenyu felt a little uneasy, and racked her brains to figure out what had just happened.

After pacing back and forth in the lobby for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, what method did you use to deal with the guards of Langya Pavilion just now?"

He thought about it and thought that the guards of Langya Pavilion would not be bribed so easily with money. He probably had another way.

Chen Tang smiled and said, "Nothing, I just delivered a letter on behalf of someone."

He just took out the letter that Shen Che asked him to deliver and handed the seal on it to the guard of Langya Pavilion. The man recognized them and brought them in.

Mei Zhenyu nodded, knowing the limits, and did not ask any further questions.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a plain white robe walked in from outside. He had a slender figure, a thin face, and a calm and solemn temperament between his brows. His robe was embroidered with elegant Langya patterns, and a jade pendant symbolizing his status hung around his waist.

"This is……"

When Mei Zhenyu saw it, his expression changed slightly.

This jade pendant seems to be the symbol of the master of Langya Pavilion!

"I am Shen Yuanlin."

The visitor's eyes swept over the four people in the lobby, and finally landed on Chen Tang, and asked: "You are Chen Tang, right?"

"Meet Pavilion Master Shen."

Chen Tang stood up and bowed.

Shen Yuanlin's reaction must have been because Shen Che mentioned him in the letter.

Before leaving, Shen Che reminded Chen Tang that the political situation in Southern Xia was turbulent and the world was as deep as the sea, so he might as well stay in the Shen family and work, which would not bury his abilities.

As expected, Shen Yuanlin waved his hand, motioning Chen Tang to take a seat, and said, "He praised you in the letter. Langya Pavilion has been busy lately and is short of manpower. If you are willing to stay, I will arrange for you to work in the pavilion today. What do you think?"

Chen Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "There is something I need to tell the Pavilion Master first."

He recounted what happened to them at the Sword Forging Villa.

Shen Yuanlin frowned slightly and had a headache.

This man was young and bold, and acted so recklessly that he even dared to kill someone in the Sword Casting Villa.

Moreover, he had just arrived in Daxia and had caused such a big disaster!

Shen Che praised this person highly in his letter, but this must have been an exaggeration.

If this person is truly gifted and has great potential and is worth cultivating, why doesn't Shen Che keep him in Tianhu Continent and have him work by his side?

Shen Yuanlin didn't say anything, but his impression of Chen Tang diminished a bit.

Shen Yuanlin said: "The Sword Casting Villa has been passed down for a hundred years and is well-known. How could they be greedy just by seeing a few flying swords and want to imprison you?"

"This is absolutely true."

Zhu Lingxue said quickly.

"Ok?"

Shen Yuanlin's gaze turned and fell on Mei Zhenyu and the other person.

Mei Zhenyu quickly bowed and saluted, saying, "I am Mei Zhenyu from the Plum Blossom Sword Sect, and this is my junior sister Zhu Lingxue. What Brother Chen said is true, we were there at the time. Although I don't understand what happened, I think there may be some misunderstanding."

"Since you knew it was a misunderstanding, why did you still kill people?"

Shen Yuanlin asked back.

Mei Zhenyu was speechless for a moment.

"I do not have."

Zhu Lingxue said weakly.

Seeing Shen Yuanlin's attitude, Chen Tang understood and said, "Everyone has his own consequences. I was the one who killed the man. This matter has nothing to do with Brother Mei. If Zhujian Villa comes to us, please explain to the Pavilion Master and don't implicate Brother Mei." Mei Zhenyu felt a little guilty when he saw Chen Tang being so frank.

No matter what, it was he who took Chen Tang to the Sword Casting Villa.

"how about you?"

Shen Yuanlin looked at Chen Tang and asked.

"Don't bother, Pavilion Master."

Chen Tang said calmly, "The world is so big, there is no place where we cannot find a place to stay."

This was his personality, and since he was unwelcome and misunderstood here, he didn't want to stay.

Find an opportunity to meet Zhiwei and then leave this place.

"He does have some backbone."

Shen Yuanlin thought to himself, and after a moment's silence, he said, "After all, there are more than a dozen lives at stake, one of which is the owner of Zhujian Villa. This matter is too serious and I'm afraid it can't be resolved in a short time."

"How about this, you guys stay in Langya Pavilion first, and don't leave, lest you be recognized. I'll send someone to get rid of the pursuers from Zhujian Villa first."

"After this busy period, I will be free to deal with your matter."

Having said that, Shen Yuanlin rubbed his temples subconsciously, his brows showing fatigue.

He is not only the head of Langya Pavilion, but also the minister of Daxia.

Almost all power inside and outside the court was in the hands of Xia Daozi and his son. Shen Guobao and Xia Daozi were in collusion with each other and abused their power. As the Shangshu, he almost became a decoration.

Now, Langya Pavilion is in conflict with the Xiangguo Mansion again. He is caught in the middle and is exhausted both physically and mentally.

Because of Xia Dao's status as a royal family member, he has gained the trust of the emperor. In recent years, he has been very powerful and at the peak of his career.

Given his personality, he really didn't want to confront the Prime Minister's Mansion head-on.

Later, Old Lady Su came forward to take charge of the situation. He could only obey the arrangements and try his best to deal with Xia Daozi in the court. The pressure can be imagined.

I couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when I heard about Chen Tang's incident just now.

He really didn't have the heart to deal with it.

But Chen Tang was recommended by Shen Che after all. It was not polite to kick him out after delivering the letter before he even had time to sit down.

We can only leave Chen Tang in Langya Pavilion and wait until Langya Pavilion overcomes this crisis.

The battle with the Prime Minister's Mansion has attracted everyone's attention.

Not only the court, but the entire martial arts world is paying attention to this matter. If it is not handled properly, not only will the reputation of Langya Pavilion be damaged, but it may also decline and never recover.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Mei Zhenyu was afraid that Chen Tang would say something impulsive, so she thanked him first.

Chen Tang didn't care. He had no plan to stay in Langya Pavilion in the first place. It would be good to stay for a few more days, just to avoid the limelight and watch the fun.

Chen Tang asked: "Master, can you forge weapons here?"

Since you are not in a hurry to leave, just solve the hidden danger of the flying sword in Langya Pavilion.

Shen Yuanlin said: "What weapon do you want to use? Just go to the armory and pick out a weapon that suits you."

"I have to melt these seven flying swords and forge new weapons."

Chen Tang took the box and opened the lid.

Shen Yuanlin took a look.

He didn't know martial arts and couldn't tell which flying sword was good or bad.

Shen Yuanlin waved his hand, and a guard at the door walked in quickly.

"This is Cheng Lie, my personal attendant."

Shen Yuanlin said, "Let Cheng Lie take you there tomorrow to find Qi Bo to forge weapons. He will take care of all your affairs in Langya Pavilion."

Cheng Lie was a man in his thirties who looked very capable. He nodded at Chen Tang and the others.

Shen Yuanlin gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.
