Chapter 558: Drunkard Xu Yao, Chen Changsheng Lends His Sword
“Xu Yao, you don’t need to hide; I’ve already seen you.”
“And hiding won’t do any good. You can run away from the monk, but not from the temple. I suggest you face reality instead.”
Facing this situation, Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Yao.
“Miss Xu, what’s going on?”
Hearing this, Xu Yao awkwardly smiled and said, “Nothing, just a small matter.”
“What do you mean by a small matter?”
The leading man directly interrupted Xu Yao’s words.
“When are you going to pay back the money you owe us? We have given you plenty of time already. Even if you are an immortal swordsman, you can’t avoid your debts.”
Chen Changsheng: ?!?
Upon hearing these words, Chen Changsheng immediately widened his eyes, looking at Xu Yao in disbelief.
“Miss Xu, if I remember correctly, your father should be the Ice Fire Immortal King, and your mother controls the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and even oversees the World’s No. 1 Spring.”
“Am I just too tired recently, causing me to hallucinate?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s doubt, Xu Yao awkwardly smiled without saying anything.
Ma Ling’er, standing beside her, skillfully took out the Beast Skin Bag and started paying.
While paying, Ma Ling’er calmly said, “Her father is indeed the Ice Fire Immortal King, and her mother does control the Qingqiu Fox Clan and the World’s No. 1 Spring.”
“But no matter how great the power is, it can’t withstand this drunkard’s insatiable thirst for alcohol.”
“Xu Yao’s Starlight Sword has made countless prodigies pale in comparison, but her reputation as a heavy drinker is equally well-known.”
“From birth to now, the resources she has spent could have nurtured a Celestial Fairy Realm expert, yet she still remains in the Lamp of Life Realm.”
“The main reason is that she spends most of her money buying alcohol.”
“It’s because of this extravagant lifestyle that her mother cut off her resources.”
As she spoke, Ma Ling’er had already paid off all the debts, and turned to look at Xu Yao.
“This time, I’m helping you pay 3.8 million Divine Sources. Including what you owed me before, it totals 10.8 million.”
“All my savings have been squandered by you, so how will you repay me the 10.8 million?”
Upon hearing Ma Ling’er’s words, Xu Yao pouted and said, “I know, I’ll definitely repay you.”
“You’re such a little heiress, would you care about this small amount of money?”
“Every coin that passes through my hands is a huge sum, but those coins aren’t mine.”
“If you don’t find a way to get more money soon, we’ll both end up penniless.”
Seeing Ma Ling’er’s serious expression, Xu Yao waved her hand and said, “Getting money isn’t hard, once I go into the Savage Wilderness and k*ll two big demons, there’ll be money.”
“With your strength, planning it out, it might work, but you don’t even have a piece of iron to use, how will you k*ll a big demon?”
Facing Ma Ling’er’s words, Xu Yao’s eyes turned, then she looked at Jian Fei next to her.
“Brother Jian Fei, are you interested…”
“Not lending!”
“Whoosh!”
Jian Fei’s wooden stick behind him was taken away. Chen Changsheng glanced at Xu Yao and said coolly, “You can go, but I won’t lend you the wooden stick.”
Seeing that he couldn’t get his hands on such an easy-to-use weapon, Xu Yao immediately became anxious.
“Don’t do this!”
“We’re friends at least, if worse comes to worst, I’ll give you half of the materials from killing the big demons.”
“I don’t want the materials,” Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, “Answer three questions for me, and I’ll lend you the wooden stick.”
“Even three hundred questions wouldn’t be a problem.”
“Great!”
“First question, I see you don’t seem to have any decent weapons, did your parents not prepare them for you?”
“They were pawned off long ago!”
Before Xu Yao could speak, Ma Ling’er interjected.
“Ten thousand years ago, the Wanbao Pavilion auctioned a vat of fine wine. Someone knew she loved drinking, so they deliberately set up a scheme to drive up the price.”
“At the time, I learned about the situation and personally ordered everyone not to lend her money.”
“But who would have thought, she actually pawned her weapons.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
“To whom?”
“The Eight Desolates Tyrant, the Nangong Family.”
“The Nangong family has stated that to reclaim her sword, Xu Yao must defeat Nangong Xing.”
Receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng looked at the guilty Xu Yao.
“Second question, do you have confidence in defeating Nangong Xing?”
Hearing this, Xu Yao hesitated, “If I still had the Starlight Sword, I’d have some confidence.”
“But now, without any weapons, I don’t have the confidence to win.”
“Third question, do you want to become the Sword God?”
As soon as Chen Changsheng asked this question, Ma Ling’er’s gaze sharpened.
Although Xu Yao sensed something unusual, she didn’t take it seriously.
“No!”
“Why? All sword cultivators worship the Sword God as the ancestor of the sword path, no one doesn’t dream of becoming a legendary figure like the Sword God.”
“You’re a genius with the sword, isn’t your goal him?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Xu Yao smiled slightly and said, “Whether it’s Swordsman Chen Xiang or the Sword God, I won’t become either of them. I am just me.”
“I wield the sword not because I want to become the top master of the sword path, but because I love the sword.”
“For me, in this world, only sword techniques and fine wine are what I truly love.”
“If my Immortal Sword name could be traded for wine, I would have traded it for a vat long ago.”
After hearing this answer, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng suddenly stepped forward and patted Xu Yao’s head and said.
“You’re not inferior to them, you really aren’t inferior to them.”
With that, Chen Changsheng turned and walked in a certain direction.
“Follow me, since you want to borrow a sword, I’ll lend you one.”
“That wooden stick is needed by Jian Fei, it’s not suitable for you.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s back, Ma Ling’er said solemnly to Jian Fei, “What kind of people are you?”
Hearing this, Jian Fei looked aggrieved.
“I’m just a demon cultivator with no choice over my fate, you know this.”
“As for who he is, I really don’t know. I only met him two days ago.”
“You didn’t know him before?”
Facing Jian Fei’s words, Xu Yao was very surprised.
“I didn’t know him before, we met by chance.”
“Regarding some details about him, I can’t tell you unless he is willing to say it.”
With that, Jian Fei followed after Chen Changsheng.
Seeing this, Xu Yao opened her mouth and said, “Sister Ling, what do you think of this Chen Changsheng?”
“Fortune and misfortune are hard to predict!”
“But we are in the Sword Qi Great Wall, even if he harbors ill intentions, we can remain invincible.”
As she spoke, Ma Ling’er also followed after Chen Changsheng.
Watching the backs of the few people, Xu Yao helplessly smiled and said, “Mom, you really guessed right.”
“This trip outside, sure enough, has caused waves, but this seems to be not a bad thing.”
Muttering a few words, Xu Yao quickly caught up.
