My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Oh, please come in quickly!"

Helian Mingchuan's eyes lit up when he heard Teng Zixiu's words.

Judging from the looks of it, it must be that friend from the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect that he met on the way has arrived.

Helian Zhaoyue sat beside her, her expression also filled with anticipation.

After all, the two Hidden Edge Tokens that her elder brother mentioned were found with the help of this person.

Sure enough, not long after, a young man walked in from outside, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

The man was dressed simply, holding a long sword in his hand, his hair simply tied up, and he looked extraordinary.

Especially when walking, his steps are steady, clearly indicating that he is quite strong.

"Hehe, Brother Wei, please have a seat!"

Helian Mingchuan saw the newcomer and stood up with a smile to greet him.

"Your Highness, you're too kind!"

Wei Xun nodded with a smile, and after sitting down next to him, he seemed to think of something and reached into his pocket.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Xun took out two ancient-looking tokens and handed them to Helian Mingchuan: "These are the Concealed Edge Tokens that His Highness desires!"

Helian Mingchuan looked over, and his smile deepened.

Helian Zhaoyue carefully examined the two Concealed Edge Tokens and found that they were indeed correct!

"Your Highness, I went to great lengths to obtain these two Concealed Edge Tokens!"

Wei Xun didn't rush to let go, but looked at Helian Mingchuan and continued, "Heh, besides, there's quite a bit of conflict between our Great Hua and your Northern Yu!"

"Now, I'm taking a considerable risk by giving you these two Concealed Edge Tokens!"

"Don't worry, Brother Wei!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Mingchuan immediately smiled and said, "I will absolutely not let outsiders know about this!"

As he spoke, Helian Mingchuan reached out and took the Hidden Edge Token, while giving a wink to the people below.

The man immediately understood what was going on, and quickly came up with a sword and a thick stack of silver notes, handing them to Wei Xun.

"This precious sword is what I promised Brother Wei!"

Helian Mingchuan said with a smile, "As for these silver notes, consider them a small token of my appreciation!"

"Furthermore, Brother Wei, if you have the opportunity in the future, you are welcome to visit my Northern Yu. I will certainly treat you as an honored guest!"

"Haha, Your Highness, you're too kind!"

Wei Xun laughed twice, showing no politeness whatsoever, and directly put away the sword and silver notes.

"Oh, right!"

Wei Xun hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "I do have something to ask of Your Highness."

"Speak freely!"

Helian Mingchuan put the two Concealed Edge Tokens into his pocket and nodded with a smile.

"I have a senior martial uncle who arrived in the capital a few days ago!"

Wei Xun frowned and said, "But since I arrived in the capital, I haven't been able to contact him at all, and now there's not even a peep from him!"

"This matter is indeed quite strange, so I would like to ask Your Highness to help investigate it!"

Upon hearing this, Teng Zixiu's expression clearly changed.

The martial uncle of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect?

They entered Beijing first, and now they've disappeared without a trace?

Could this be...?

"I, on the other hand..."

Just as Teng Zixiu was about to speak, Helian Zhaoyue's voice rang out: "Zixiu!"

Ok?

Teng Zixiu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Helian Zhaoyue.

Upon noticing Helian Zhaoyue's gaze, Teng Zixiu, though puzzled, ultimately shut his mouth and retreated.

Wei Xun looked puzzled upon seeing this scene.

However, he didn't think much of it, assuming Teng Zixiu meant he could help find the person, and looked at Helian Mingchuan again, saying, "Then I'll trouble Your Highness with this matter!"

"My two senior brothers are still waiting outside, so... I won't bother you any longer!"

After speaking, Wei Xun stood up, clasped his hands in farewell to Helian Mingchuan and Helian Zhaoyue.

"Take care, Brother Wei!"

Helian Mingchuan smiled and rose to see him off.

After seeing this, Teng Zixiu followed Wei Xun outside.

As soon as Wei Xun left, Helian Mingchuan's smile faded, and he looked at Helian Zhaoyue, saying, "Yue'er, do you know something?"

"Um!"

Helian Zhaoyue nodded slightly and said, "A few days ago, the Great Hua Princess held a 'Hidden Edge Banquet,' and a senior from the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect attended it!"

"but……"

At this point, Helian Zhaoyue paused slightly: "This person was killed on the spot by Jiang Xiaobai!"

"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, that person should be Wei Xun's martial uncle!"

"Killed by Jiang Xiaobai?"

Helian Mingchuan looked completely taken aback, then frowned and said, "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Brother, we're still on Dahua's territory!"

Helian Zhaoyue sighed softly, "Jiang Xiaobai is narrow-minded and vindictive; he's a complete bastard!"

"Moreover, this guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and nobody knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve."

"If Wei Xun goes to seek revenge, and we get involved, we'll inevitably get ourselves into trouble!"

At this point, Helian Zhaoyue looked earnestly at Helian Mingchuan and said, "So I think... it's best if we don't get involved in this matter!"

"That's... fine too!"

Helian Mingchuan pondered for a moment, and finally responded.

They had important business to attend to in Dahua this time, and there was really no need for them to provoke Jiang Xiaobai for the sake of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect.

Moreover, they have already obtained the Concealed Edge Token, so their transaction with Wei Xun can be considered complete.

After a moment of silence in the hall, Helian Mingchuan raised his head again and asked, "Yue'er, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"this……"

Helian Zhaoyue pondered for a moment and said, "Since Jiang Xiaobai has invited us to visit the Jiang family's military camp, why don't we go tomorrow?"

"After this trip is over, it will be time to formally meet His Majesty the Great Hua!"

"Alright, let's do as Yue'er says!"

Helian Mingchuan nodded, but he was also somewhat curious.

He wanted to take this opportunity to see just what was so special about the Jiang family's military camp!

……

Outside the Honglu Temple.

After Wei Xun came out, two men, also wielding long swords, quickly came to greet him.

One of them looked at Wei Xun and asked directly, "Did you give them those two Concealed Edge Tokens?"

"Given it!"

Wei Xun nodded slightly, then took out the sword and silver notes that Helian Mingchuan had given him.

Looking at the thick stack of silver notes, Wei Xun asked with a puzzled expression, "I wonder why that lord would give them such precious Hidden Edge Tokens!"

"And what's more, they insist on using people from the martial arts world!"

"Ha, this is none of our business!"

Another man glanced at the banknotes and said indifferently, "Now that the goods have been delivered, we can consider our mission accomplished!"

"Let's go back and report!"

After saying that, the three of them left without further delay and got up at the same time.

Under the cover of night, three figures rose and fell on the rooftops, quickly disappearing without a trace...
