Chapter 88 Divine Sword? That's all? A Great Injustice

"Chief Constable, someone's treating us to dinner. Why don't you order a bit more?"

"Why not eat it if it's free?"

When someone invited Lu Yuan to dinner, the happiest person wasn't Lu Yuan himself, but the waiter, because he got a commission for every customer he served.

The higher the customer's spending, the higher his commission.

Coincidentally, their chief constable was the biggest eater in the entire county.

If the chief constable were allowed to eat to his heart's content, he could earn two years' worth of salary just from the commissions alone.

At this moment, the waiter looked at Yi Wushuang more like he was looking at a god of wealth.

Although this young master is not very smart, he is a good person and has a lot of money.

"Hey, hey, hey, someone's treating you to dinner, you don't have to kill them."

"That's not fair of you."

Lu Yuan pointed at the waiter and said irritably.

"If I eat too much later, I won't be able to explain it to Lao Lu when I get home."

Besides his love for blacksmithing, Lao Lu also enjoys cooking.

Even though his cooking skills aren't great, he can't refuse to eat it.

"If you're worried about eating too much, you can eat until you're 95% full. You can't just let someone's good intentions go to waste."

The waiter flattered.

"Yes, what the waiter said makes sense."

"What kind of absurd thing is it to invite guests to a meal and not let them eat their fill?"

"If word gets out, people will laugh at me."

"My personal reputation is not important, but the reputation of the family cannot be lost."

"Waiter, please bring it on."

Yi Wushuang took out a silver note from his pocket and slapped it on the table to show that he was not short of money.

"Oh."

"One hundred taels of silver."

"It seems your Famous Sword Manor has quite a fortune."

Those who can afford banknotes are not poor.

Since that's the case, then let's not let their good intentions go to waste.

"Okay, waiter, we'll listen to him."

"Okay."

……

"Our family's assets are alright. Although Mingjian Manor is also a force in the martial arts world, we can't lose our ancestral sword-making skills. The swords forged by our clansmen can only be sold. With this skill, the manor has saved up quite a bit of money, and we can make a living."

Yi Wushuang spoke of the Famous Sword Manor with considerable pride.

After all, that's their roots.

"Sword forging, huh? That's definitely a lucrative business."

Lu Yuan simply said something generously, without much emotional fluctuation.

He himself is not short of money.

"Young master of the Famous Sword Manor, why don't you hire a few female sword attendants to carry your swords?"

"Carrying a sword case around everywhere by himself, what kind of new game is this?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the sword box next to Yi Wushuang. Judging from the sound of Yi Wushuang lifting it, the sword box was quite heavy.

"Demon Lord, you may not know this, but this sword box contains two of the most prized swords of my Famous Sword Manor."

"A divine sword has a spirit, and the sword spirit chooses its master."

"I am fortunate to have gained the recognition of two divine swords."

"But no one but me can move them."

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but that they can't."

Yi Wushuang's tone carried a hint of smugness.

It's more like a child showing off their new toy; it's a bit childish.

It's clear that this young master from Sword Manor is a novice just entering the martial arts world.

A child carrying gold crossed the street, and all the passersby were thieves.

Don't you understand such a simple principle as not flaunting your wealth?

Ugh.

The foolish son of a real landlord.

"Aren't you afraid I'll steal your powerful weapon by exposing it like this?"

"Since you know me, you should also know that you are no match for me."

Are you naive or just stupid?

Lu Yuan put down the meat in his hand and looked at Yi Wushuang with a puzzled expression.

"Do not."

"I'm not stupid."

"I believe in the Demon Lord's character."

"You are a good man."

Yi Wushuang smiled as he looked at Lu Yuan. He had stayed in Wangyou County for a long time and had heard about Lu Yuan's reputation.

The Lu Yuan spoken of by martial arts practitioners and the Lu Yuan spoken of by the people of Wangyou County are two different people. One is a ruthless killer, and the other is a kind-hearted person who cares for his fellow villagers.

Compared to those江湖人士 (jianghu figures) who only spread rumors, he was more willing to believe the people of Wangyou County who lived with Lu Yuan day and night.

"Besides, as I just said, no one but me can move it."

"Oh, so confident?"

Would you mind if I gave it a try?

Lu Yuan put down his chopsticks, quite interested in trying out the two divine swords in the sword box to see if they were really as mysterious as they seemed.

"Naturally."

"Please proceed, Chief Constable."

Yi Wushuang took the initiative to open the sword box, revealing the sword inside.

Two divine swords, faintly gleaming.

The other swords, however, differ from the divine sword.

The blades of other swords are as thin as willow leaves and as delicate as cicada wings.

It should have other uses.

Although the other swords have unique appearances, they are all of the Xuan grade without exception.

This Sword Manor is truly magnificent.

Lu Yuan reached out and grabbed the divine sword.

Both of them trembled violently, their swords flashing with light, as if resisting Lu Yuan.

However, their resistance was utterly futile.

Lu Yuan didn't even feel their resistance and easily pulled them out.

"what?"

"Divine Sword, move it!"

Yi Wushuang stared at the two divine swords in Lu Yuan's hands, speechless for a moment.

This……

Didn't we agree that only I could touch it?
How could you go back on your word?
"Give it back to you."

This sword has a rather intimidating name.

The sect's signature sword.

In reality, it's just like that.

Aside from its ability to glow and possess a spiritual quality, it is no different from an ordinary sword.

The design is still the same old design, and it's not even as nice as the swords in Chai Jin's shop.

After satisfying his curiosity, Lu Yuan returned the two items to Yi Wushuang.

"Waiter, two more roast chickens, please."

"okay."

Lu Yuan continued eating, while Yi Wushuang stared blankly at her sword box.

after an hour.

Lu Yuan finished his meal and drinks, leaving the table and floor piled high with plates.

Yi Wushuang, however, was still in a daze.

"Has this child suffered a setback?"

"My mentality is so bad."

Lu Yuan shook his head, reached out and patted Yi Wushuang's shoulder to wake him up.

"Stop being in a daze."

"You're quite good, but I still have to advise you not to be too confident. Be more careful and watch out for other people. Be wary of them and don't let them know that you have a Heavenly-level Divine Weapon."

"Otherwise, you will die."

"But don't worry, you are safe within the territory of Wangyou County."

"I can guarantee this."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he left.

Yi Wushuang nodded silently, clearly having taken Lu Yuan's words to heart.

"Waiter, the bill is due."

"Thank you for your patronage, one hundred and twenty-five taels of silver."

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"One hundred and twenty-five taels of silver? Can the Demon Lord really eat that much?"

Yi Wushuang was shocked.

"What are you saying? Everyone in Wangyou County knows that our chief constable can eat a lot."
