Chapter 133 Sword Forging Villa
The white fox Yaoyao drove the carriage to the manor, and then her uncle left.

"Uncle, where is the Sword Forging Manor?" White Fox Yaoyao really didn't know where the Sword Forging Manor was.

She has been in this world for more than half a year, and the farthest place she has ever been is Yunzhou City.

They lack knowledge of the world's topography.

Xu Zhenhai was studying how these puppet horses walked when his thoughts were interrupted by his niece's question.

Xu Zhenhai pointed to the road, "It's on Qianliu Mountain, not far from Yunzhou City."

"Okay, I understand." White Fox Yaoyao sent the command to the puppet horse.

The carriage traveled along the official road, heading straight for Qianliu Mountain.

Sword Casting Manor belongs to the Jianghu (martial arts world) forces, and even the imperial court has no jurisdiction over it.

The founding ancestor of the Sword Forging Manor bought the entire Thousand Streams Mountain and built the Sword Forging Manor on it.

After several generations of development, the Sword Forging Manor is now almost as large as the imperial palace.

Over the years, the Sword Forging Manor has gradually declined, but even a lean camel is bigger than a horse; its foundation is still there.

Bai Hu Yaoyao had heard of Thousand Streams Mountain, but she never imagined that Sword Casting Manor was built on it.

The puppet horses didn't need to rest. They traveled day and night and finally arrived at Thousand Streams Mountain three days later.

Below the mountain is a wide river; winter has passed, and the ice and snow in the river have melted.

The river water is clear, and schools of fish swim swiftly by in a line.

There is a sturdy stone bridge over the river, which is the only passage to the Sword Forging Manor.

Qianliu Mountain is surrounded by water on all sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack; it is a good place.

There were also guards at the bridgehead, and their carriages were stopped as soon as they were spotted.

"Who are you?" the guard asked dutifully.

Xu Zhenhai was dumbfounded. There were no guards at the bridgehead when he came here before.
This time, they actually set up guards at the bridgehead. Just like the rumors say, there are always people coming to cause trouble at Sword Forging Manor.

Xu Zhenhai couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"We are doctors who came to treat your young lady." Xu Zhenhai could only make up an excuse.

The guard clearly didn't believe him. "There are plenty of doctors who have come to treat our young lady, but only those with an invitation from the Sword Forging Manor are allowed in. If you don't have an invitation, please leave."

Bai Hu Yaoyao raised an eyebrow. "Do I need an invitation just to treat an illness?"

He immediately took out the Fanlou token and asked, "Can I enter with this?"

It seems my uncle didn't have an invitation, so he'll have to resort to his trump card.

The guard was getting impatient. Seeing that it was a purple token, he sneered disdainfully, "You think you can get into the Sword Forging Manor with some lousy token from who-knows-where? We only recognize invitations from the manor. If you don't have anything to do, get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The other fat guard turned pale the moment he saw the purple token, his expression becoming more serious. He quickly stopped the other guards from chasing people away, saying, "We didn't know our distinguished guest had come to Sword Forging Manor. Please come in."

"At least some of them know what's important." White Fox Yaoyao glanced disdainfully at the thin guard.

The guards of the Sword Forging Manor are nothing special; they have no sense of propriety whatsoever. No wonder they've fallen into decline.

The white fox Yaoyao put away the token, and the carriage smoothly crossed the stone bridge.

The thinner guard was about to continue blocking the carriage when the fat guard stopped him, saying, "Are you out of your mind! You dare to mess with someone carrying that kind of token?"

The thin guard was puzzled. "It's just a token. I've never even seen one before. It's definitely not an important token. What are you afraid of? If the manor lord finds out that we let strangers in, our lives will be in danger."

The fat guard snorted, "What do you know! That's Fanlou's token, the highest-level token. Do you think we should let them through or not?" Everyone in the Sword Forging Manor had to recognize Fanlou's tokens, from the lowest-level black to the highest-level purple, and they all memorized them.

Black tokens have allowed the Sword Forging Manor to stand strong for centuries, let alone the top-level purple token that the girl just held.

Over the years, the manor lord has been trying to find a way to get in touch with people from Fanlou, even if it's just to get another black token.

Now that they've finally met someone with a purple token, the owner would be even happier if he could get in touch with that girl.

Skinny bodyguard: ······
Ruined!
The girl holding the purple token, doesn't that mean someone has been offended by him?

The fat guard quickly took out a communication stone and reported the situation.

White Fox Yaoyao drove the carriage and stopped directly at the entrance of the Sword Forging Manor.

There are probably over a thousand steps at the entrance of the villa, so the carriage can only be parked at the bottom of the steps.

"Uncle, I just don't understand, why did these people build the villa so high up and make so many steps? Aren't they tired of going up?" Even the white fox Yaoyao was too lazy to walk.

There are so many steps, it would be exhausting to climb them.

Xu Zhenhai chuckled, "Just bear with it! Your uncle will help you, and if it really doesn't work, your uncle will carry you up."

Seeing his little niece acting cute, Xu Zhenhai's heart softened.

If my sister were still alive, she would definitely feel sorry for this little niece.

"Why would I need my uncle to carry me? Let's go!" Bai Hu Yaoyao only complained a couple of times.

Xu Zhenhai smiled and shook his head, and the two of them went up the steps together.

Zhou Yuan, the master of the Sword Casting Manor, was so excited to hear that a girl carrying a purple token from Fanlou had arrived that he ran to the door to greet her.

He ignored the doctors who were treating his daughter Zhou Honghong, and went straight to the door after getting ready.

"Master, could she be a fraud? Why would a woman with a purple token come here?" The steward following behind Zhou Yuan tried to dissuade him.

Zhou Yuan stroked his beard, his face enigmatic. "Whether it's real or not, I can tell at a glance! Who do you think would dare to forge a Fanlou token?"

“That’s right! What kind of place is Fanlou? No one dares to offend it! If it’s true, the Master’s wish to obtain a Fanlou token can be fulfilled.” The steward said happily.

Zhou Yuan frowned in disagreement, "When did I say I wanted the token? Do you think Fanlou's token is so easy to get? If you want Fanlou's token, you have to win it fairly and squarely in the competition. I just want to find someone who has Fanlou's token to write a letter of recommendation."

"With the letter of recommendation, our Sword Forging Manor can participate in this year's Sword Forging Masters Conference. I believe that with the strength of our Sword Forging Manor, we will definitely win first place. Once we win first place, we will have the Fanlou token."

Their Sword Forging Manor cannot continue to decline like this. The fastest way to rise again is to obtain another Fanlou token.

Even the lowest grade black token is good.

The steward sighed, feeling that the master was being delusional. The girl wasn't familiar with them, so how could they possibly give her a letter of recommendation?

The white fox Yaoyao finally climbed to the door and saw the two people waiting there.

"Oh my! It's an honor to have such distinguished guests at our humble abode. May I ask what brings you two here?" Zhou Yuan greeted them with a smile.

The two sides bowed to each other.

Bai Hu Yaoyao stood up and glanced at her uncle beside her. "I have come here on behalf of my uncle to treat the master's daughter."

"Your uncle?" Zhou Yuan then noticed Xu Zhenhai standing to the side.

"You're actually this young lady's uncle?" Zhou Yuan's eyebrows furrowed.
