Chapter 492: Sword Cleansing Pond
“Honestly speaking, Victor, that princess is so d.a.m.n beautiful! Compared to the women I’ve slept with a few days ago, it’s like the difference between heaven and earth.”
Back at the wine shop, He Qi thought about Princess Linyang’s beauty while feeling sad.
In response, Victor rolled his eyes at him.
How could those women compare to a princess? They were simply not on the same level, okay?
Even a peerless beauty like Lian Hua could not help but pale in comparison to Princess Linyang.
“Okay, I know that your heart is aroused, and I know that you want to sleep with a woman. So what? There are no brothels in the Xiao Family City, so you’d better bear with it.”
“Vulgar! Too vulgar! What do you mean by sleeping with a woman? It’s called thorough communication! Also, Victor, aren’t you tempted?”
“What’s the use of being tempted? That’s the Princess of the Western Plains Dynasty. Put away your conceited thoughts.”
Victor glanced at He Qi, he continued, “You have to understand that our purpose is to kidnap the princess and destroy the marriage between the Xiao family and the Western Plains Dynasty. But you’ve seen the situation today. The Western Plains Dynasty and the Xiao family take this matter very seriously. There are more than 20 nascent soul realm cultivators in total. It’s impossible for the two of us to do it alone.”
“Of course I know that. What should we do now?”
“Nothing. Unless someone from another force takes action, it’s impossible.”
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Victor still knew his limits! Facing more than 20 nascent soul realm cultivators, he would only be killed mercilessly.
Although Victor still had the sword spirit as his trump card, the aftereffects of the Fusion Technique were too great. Moreover, the sword spirit no longer had any more spiritual energy for Victor to absorb.
“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.”
For no reason, Victor suddenly thought of the beautiful Princess Linyang. Her perfect eyebrows and eyes that contained an unexplainable depression.
The sky had dimmed, but it was brightly lit outside.
Due to the arrival of the marriage alliance team of the Western Plains Dynasty, the entire Xiao Family City was in an uproar.
Even the outer city where Victor was located was also in a state of uproar.
Victor could not understand this at all.
What did they have to do with someone else’s marriage?
However, when he thought about it carefully, he did not harbor any good intentions either. Following that, he came to terms with it.
Following that, Victor, who had originally planned to go out for a walk, felt a bone-chilling chill coming from behind just as he arrived at the door.
When Victor turned around, an old man with white hair and a beard appeared in Victor’s room at some unknown time.
“I’ve long heard that a young hero with great sword intent has appeared in the Central Plains. After seeing you with my own two eyes, you are indeed extraordinary.”
The old man suddenly opened his mouth, but a sharp light burst out from his turbid eyes.
“May I ask who you are?”
“I almost forgot. I’m Jian Haomiao, an elder of the Sword Cleansing Pond.”
“So it’s the senior of the Sword Cleansing Pond. May I know why senior is looking for me?”
Victor swallowed his saliva, and his palms began to sweat profusely.
This person had appeared silently in his room, and even Victor did not notice him.
Moreover, the old man radiated an extremely dangerous vibe. It could be said that as long as the other party wanted to, he could kill Victor with a thought!
“I heard that there was a young genius in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sword Cleansing Pond’s swordsmen, so I thought of coming over to meet him. Hmm, this level of sword intent is indeed extraordinary. I have the urge to take you in as my disciple.
“Victor, are you willing to become my disciple?”
‘He knows my name!’
A warning sounded in Victor’s mind. He wanted to escape, but he could not do it at all!
“Senior, I already have a master.”
“Hmm? You mean the Eastern Plains’ Green Dragon Sect? Aren’t you a traitor?”
“It’s just an excuse. I hope senior won’t force me.”
“I see. What a pity.”
The old man sighed softly, he continued, “However, your sword intent does make me very reluctant to part with you. How about you take me as your foster father, then you can be considered to have formed a relationship with me. Of course, since you’re my foster son, there will be benefits for you. For example, Yan Yuqi, that brat’s precious daughter. If you like her, I’ll s.n.a.t.c.h her for you.”
“Foster father.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Victor immediately chose to acknowledge this strange old man as his foster father.
This would not cause any losses to Victor. Moreover, the benefits were innumerable!
If what this old man said was true, perhaps Princess Linyang…
Victor coughed lightly and threw the wild thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind.
“Hahaha, I like smart people like you.”
“However, I don’t think foster father came here just for me, right’
“Of course. I can’t guess what that brat Emperor Yan is thinking, so I can only come to the Xiao Family City to take a look. After all, when two great figures come together, it won’t be of any benefit to the Sword Cleansing Pond.”
“But, do you plan to make a move?”
“Not necessarily. If It’s just a love affair between the younger generation, I naturally won’t make a move. However, if there’s some unspeakable secret in between, I’ll have no choice but to go to Emperor Yan’s bedroom and to question him.”
Hearing this, Victor felt a little strange.
Was he really an elder of the Sword Cleansing Pond? Saying that he would go to Emperor Yan’s bedroom just like that? Wasn’t he bragging a little too much?
“Foster father, you aren’t an elder of the Sword Cleansing Pond, are you?”
“I am. I’m the grand elder of the Sword Cleansing Pond. You should have heard of my name before.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor stood rooted to the ground, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
The grand elder of the Sword Cleansing Pond?! An expert at the peak of the soul formation realm who was the legendary swordmaster?
Impossible…
Victor was somewhat in disbelief.
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. In short, not only the Sword Cleansing Pond, but other forces are also unwilling to see this scene. Soon, that group of old fellows should also be here. Hehe, kid, are you interested in following me to the Xiao family’s territory in a few days? We’ll go and have a good look at that Princess Linyang who is hailed as the number one beauty of the five plains.”
“It’s all up to my foster father’s wishes.”
“Alright, I won’t stay for long. A few old friends have arrived. Hehe, I’ll go and meet them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in white suddenly disappeared.
It was not until that terrifying aura finally disappeared that Victor finally let out a sigh of relief.
“However, even a force like the Northern Plains’s Sword Cleansing Pond has been attracted here…”
Victor suddenly felt a bit sympathetic toward Xiao Chenggan. It was not easy for him to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, but in the end, he was targeted by so many people. If it was Victor, he would definitely not be able to sleep through the night.
Needless to say, Victor was right.
At the same time, in the Xiao family’s territory.
“Father, I don’t understand.”
“What’s the matter?”
“The marriage alliance with the Yan Dynasty, why was I the last to be notified?”
Ever since Xiao Chenggan advanced to the nascent soul realm, he had been in closed-door cultivation. This afternoon, he finally came out of closed-door cultivation, but he was told to pack up and prepare to get married?
Was it still with Princess Linyang, who was known as the most beautiful woman among all five plains?
