Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 167 Sword Servant
The sword servant of Zongheng Tower has been feeling depressed lately, and feels like he has to express his feelings.

The source of the problem was a boy named Yun Yi.

This person would come here about every seven days, specifically looking for books on the way to the sword. But the problem was that he would only look for one day at a time and would disappear completely for the next few days.

As the saying goes, fish for three days and dry the net for two days. He fishes for one day and dry the net for seven days. It is impossible for him to go far in the way of kendo with this kind of mentality!

In addition, there was another reason why the sword servant had already sentenced Yun Yi to death in his heart.

That is, the books he read each time were different from the last time, as if he could comprehend the art of swordsmanship in just one day.

Do you really think you are a rare genius in the world?

The sword servant did not give Yun Yi no chance. In order not to wrongly accuse him, every time Yun Yi left, he would check whether there was anything strange about the book that the brat had been reading all day.

First it was "Yunluo Sword", then "The Sword of the Son of Heaven", followed by "The Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword", "Dharma Sword", and he even read the unconventional "Bixie Sword".

The servants of the book and sword had also read all of these books, so they understood the principle of biting off more than one can digest, and they became more and more suspicious of the young man's purpose in practicing swordsmanship.

He is full of tricks and has a fancy attitude. If he really meets a tough guy, he will make a big fool of himself.

The sword servant even went so far as to talk to Wang Shenlai privately about this, implying that he should ask Shao Zhuang to take care of that friend of unknown origin and have less contact with him in the future.

So as not to be led astray by it.

After Wang Shenlai learned about this, he simply asked calmly, "Do you think he has changed?"

The sword servant did not lie: "There are indeed changes, but the changes are just to the Divine Transformation Realm, which may have nothing to do with these sword arts."

"You've been studying in Zongheng Tower for so many years. When it comes to swordsmanship, even my father's knowledge may not be as good as yours. Can't you see Yun Yi's uniqueness?"

"He hasn't even found his own sword path, so what's so unique about him?"

Wang Shenlai was too lazy to waste time talking to him. "You are prejudiced, thinking that he is not concentrating on enlightenment and is a disgrace to the collection of books in this building."

"That's right, that's what I meant." The sword servant suddenly had an idea: "Why don't I try that kid? This way, I won't wrongly accuse him."

"No, he's my friend. You've always been so arrogant. It's better to just pretend you don't see him."

"No, no, I've been guarding Zongheng Tower for so many years, but I just don't like him!"

Although the Sword Servant was called "Sword Servant", it did not mean that he was a servant of the Sword Forging Villa. He called himself the Sword Servant because he was willing to be a servant of a sword. However, no one in the villa knew what kind of magical weapon this sword was.

Zhu Yong hadn't driven the sword servant away because of their old friendship. Furthermore, the sword servant had promised to guard Zongheng Tower for as long as he stayed at the villa.

Therefore, if this old guy really wanted to do something, Wang Shenlai would be completely powerless to stop him.

He was just about to remind Yun Yi to be careful, but he didn't expect the sword servant to be faster.

This man was obsessed with swords and always had an idea in mind. He rushed to Yun Yi in a blink of an eye and saw that Yun Yi was concentrating on reading a book called "Poetry and Sword Theory". He was immediately furious.

See what I said, he really changed the book again!

The sword servant said unhappily, "I come here every seven days, and I change the book every time. Do you understand?"

Yun Yi continued reading: "I don't understand."

The sword servant choked at this, "You're quite honest, kid! You're not completely useless!"

"Oh."

"Then let me ask you, why don't you concentrate on reading and understanding one book? If you keep giving up like this, how can you truly comprehend the way of the sword?"

"Of course I changed the book because I understood it." The sword servant said angrily, "You just said you couldn't understand it!"

Yun Yi said helplessly: "So I have been meditating since I returned home."

"You can understand it in just a few days?"

"Well... thanks to my wife's help, she's smarter than me."

"Good good!"

The sword servant said "OK" three times in a row. At this moment, he no longer had the interest to listen to Meng Lang's nonsense. He decided to take direct action to test it.

The old man put his fingers together to form a sword, and a strand of silk appeared at his fingertips. He flicked it lightly at Yun Yi, and the silk-like sword energy quickly stabbed towards his face.

This move did not have any murderous intent, and it was obvious that he did not want to hurt the other party.

Yun Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized that this was the "Yunluo Sword Art", so he also put his fingers together to form a sword, and it actually condensed into a strand of silk thread, just in time to catch the old man's sword.

As soon as the two silk threads touched, they became tangled into a ball, inseparable.

The sword servant showed surprise, then withdrew the silk thread and condensed a golden sword energy at his fingertips, which exuded an indescribable aura.

Confucius said: "Only the Son of Heaven receives his mandate from Heaven, and the scholar receives his mandate from the ruler."

Yun Yi recognized that this precious sword energy was the "Emperor's Sword Art". He glanced at the sword servant, but did not say anything. Instead, he fought with him again with the same method.

In the blink of an eye, these two people had already tested each other twice. Although each of them was suppressing the power of their attacks, they still made some noises, attracting many people in the Zongheng Building to look over here.

As the "top leader" of Zongheng Building, Jian Servant naturally could not take the lead in breaking the rules, so he could only hold Yun Yi's shoulder and take him to an open space outside the building.

This place is on a cliff, and if you go out you will fall down to the Sword Casting Villa, so few people come here.

The sword servant could finally let go and perform. This time, he used two different sword techniques with each hand, one pure and innocent, the other with boundless Buddhist power.

Yun Yi naturally couldn't do this, so he could only clumsily use the "Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword" to resist first, and then use the "Dharma Sword Art" to break the attack of another move.

Although the sword servant had no expression on his face, he was already feeling happy in his heart.

Ever since he entered the Zongheng Tower to practice, he had never fought with anyone like today.

This kind of sword-fighting is completely different from a fight for life and death. It seems to be understated, but in fact it is an attack and a defense, and they break each other's offensives, which is very exciting.

Yun Yi was also shocked. He didn't expect that the sword servant could use every sword technique. Moreover, it was obvious that he was holding back and didn't use the true power of those sword techniques at all.

The two exchanged a few moves like this, and Yun Yi's foundation was finally completely exhausted. Faced with another unprecedented sword intent, he had no way to counter it, so he simply spread his hands and stopped resisting.

Seeing this, the sword servant immediately withdrew his attack and sighed, "I was so enjoying the fight that I forgot you haven't learned this yet."

Yun Yi clasped his fists and saluted, "Senior, do you have any advice?"

"It's not really about giving me advice, but since you read a different book every time, I'm afraid you might be biting off more than you can chew and ruining the collection."

"This... I am indeed having a hard time learning this."

"Difficult? You can comprehend a sword intent in seven days, but it's not difficult at all for you. It would take me at least a month to barely achieve the same level as you!"

Yun Yi asked curiously, "How much have you understood now?"

The sword servant glanced at Yun Yi and suddenly asked, "Is there any wine?"
