Chapter 154 - Three Swords of Yin Tianzi
Chapter 154 Three Swords of Yin Tianzi
Amid the night wind, two men in black stood outside Zhou Shu’s forging room like gate gods. Eunuch Zhao bitterly smiled in his heart as he glanced at Emperor Yuan Feng. He’s the emperor. Why does he have to do this? Did you come out of the palace in the middle of the night just to guard the door?
Is the night breeze comfortable? Isn’t your bed more comfortable?
Marquis Zhou, oh Marquis Zhou, His Majesty and I will personally guard the door for you. If you can’t forge anything good, let alone His Majesty, even I will want to beat you up!
Neither Emperor Yuan Feng nor Eunuch Zhao noticed that Zhou Shu’s hand was already on the hilt of the Great Destroyer Sword the moment they arrived outside.
Although Zhou Shu was engrossed in forging, he was not completely unaware of what was happening outside.
The sudden arrival of two first-rank martial artists was like two huge suns outside his door. It was hard not to notice!
This was also because Emperor Yuan Feng and Eunuch Zhao didn’t have much experience in traveling at night. With their status, they only needed to avoid divine constables. This was something that could be done without much attention.
How could they have imagined that the true expert was Zhou Shu?
Zhou Shu’s first reaction was that his cultivation had been exposed, and Great Xia had sent an expert over!
But he later realized that it made no sense.
Even if his cultivation was exposed, Great Xia had no reason to deal with him.
After all, he had always been helping Great Xia.
The reason he was worried about exposing his cultivation was that he was worried about the series of troubles that would come afterward. He wasn’t afraid of anything at all.
It wasn’t that he was bragging, but there really wasn’t anyone in Chang’an who could threaten his life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu released his grip on the sword.
If the two first-rank experts outside weren’t sent by Great Xia, could they be assassins?
The defenses of Great Xia’s Chang’an are lousy. It’s not unusual for a few assassins to sneak in.
But on the surface, his Martial Dao cultivation was only at the eighth rank. Was there a need to send two first-rank martial artists to assassinate him?
Wasn’t it akin to using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito?
Wait, why do I feel that the aura of the person on the right is somewhat familiar?
Zhou Shu’s heart stirred as he silently released a strand of divine sense. He didn’t dare to use his divine sense to directly observe the people outside. As first-rank martial artists, they might be able to sense his divine sense.
He only used his divine sense to sense the auras of the two people outside.
Eunuch Zhao?
The next moment, he remembered who the familiar aura was.
One is Eunuch Zhao, the other…
That’s impossible, right?
Zhou Shu felt that this was somewhat absurd and inconceivable.
Zhou Shu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he thought that the two most powerful people in Great Xia were standing guard outside his door.
He didn’t know what they were here for, but he didn’t sense any malice from them.
Since that’s the case, if they’re willing to stand guard, let them be.
Zhou Shu put down his thoughts and returned to his forging
He had already found the reason for his previous failure. This time, he would definitely succeed!
Inside the forging room, clanging sounds rang out incessantly.
Emperor Yuan Feng and Eunuch Zhao were in a mess in the wind.
Emperor Yuan Feng also began to doubt his life. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Didn’t I come here to teach that rascal a lesson?
Why does it seem like I am protecting him instead?
This doesn’t seem right!
Emperor Yuan Feng glared at Eunuch Zhao. It’s all your fault, talking about disturbing his forging. We should have just rushed in and beat him up, then left with a dashing back view!
Eunuch Zhao felt wronged. What did I do wrong?
I’ve already given up my pride to accompany you to be a nightcrawler. What else do you want?
Emperor Yuan Feng hesitated. The sound of forging was still echoing in the room. If he went in now, he would definitely interrupt Zhou Shu’s forging.
Although Emperor Yuan Feng was not a forger, he knew that if Zhou Shu was interrupted during the process of forging, it was very likely that he would fail.
He only wanted to teach this brat a lesson, not destroy his weapon forging. Furthermore, the weapon that he was forging was the property of Great Xia.
But if he didn’t rush in, was he going to wait here?
How long would it take?
Emperor Yuan Feng looked up at the sky. The sky in the east had already begun to brighten. It wouldn’t be long before dawn arrived.
He had to return to the palace before dawn. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if others discovered him.
As an emperor, how could he disguise himself to beat up a subject?
No, I’m not here as an emperor. I’m here as a father! Emperor Yuan Feng thought. Otherwise, why would I need to be so sneaky when dealing with a mere marquis?
As Emperor Yuan Feng thought this, the clanking suddenly stopped.
Emperor Yuan Feng and Eunuch Zhao looked at each other and saw the joy in each other’s eyes.
He stopped. If they rushed in now, they wouldn’t have to be afraid of ruining his forging
“Go!” Emperor Yuan Feng mouthed to Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao understood. After a cold night, he was full of anger.
Bang!
Eunuch Zhao’s spiritual essence erupted. He controlled his movement within a certain range, and then he kicked open the door of the forging room. Swish!
In the room, Zhou Shu seemed to be given a fright. He stepped back in panic, then leaped two steps forward, extended his arms, and blocked Eunuch Zhao’s path.
“Are you here to snatch the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi?!” Zhou Shu yelled. “Don’t even think about it! Unless I die!”
His righteousness moved heaven and earth. “Hehe!” Eunuch Zhao laughed sinisterly. Following Emperor Yuan Feng’s instructions, he raised his hand and reached out to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu closed his eyes, looking like he was ready to die.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, a figure staggered a few steps.
Eunuch Zhao turned his head and looked at Emperor Yuan Feng in disbelief. Your Majesty, didn’t we agree to teach Marquis Zhou a lesson? Why did you hit me?
Eunuch Zhao felt wronged. He could have avoided Emperor Yuan Feng’s kick earlier. But the emperor wanted to kick him. If he dodged, what if the emperor sprained his ankle?
“Who are you?” Zhou Shu opened his eyes again and glared at Eunuch Zhao and Emperor Yuan Feng. He righteously said, “This is Great Xia’s Chang’an, not a place where you can behave atrociously!
“Even if you kill me and snatch away the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi I forged for His Majesty and Her Highness, Great Xia will not let you off!”
Zhou Shu appeared to be really angry. His acting skills were comparable to that of a Best Actor.
“Those who commit crimes against Great Xia will be punished even if they are far away! It may be easy to kill me, but Great Xia still has many people like me. His Majesty will not let you off, and Great Xia will not let you off either!”
Emperor Yuan Feng’s eyes flashed. Those who commit crimes against Great Xia will be punished even if they are far away?
What am I doing?
I want to teach such a loyal subject a lesson?
Yuan Feng, oh Yuan Feng, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? What a good child. His loyalty to Great Xia is comparable to the sun and moon!
No! How could I praise him?!
Emperor Yuan Feng snorted. He changed his voice and said in a hoarse voice, “What did you say is the weapon you just forged?” “Why should I tell you?” Zhou Shu said angrily. “You’re not even worthy to glance at my Three Swords of Yin Tianzi!
“Only the emperor of Great Xia is qualified to have my sword!”
Emperor Yuan snorted coldly in his heart. This silly boy said he wouldn’t tell me, but he just casually said it. If only everyone had brains.
So, I still have some status in this kid’s heart.
The Three Swords of Yin Tianzi were specially forged for me?
No, why are the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi forged for me and Wuyou?
This brat hasn’t given up on Wuyou!
Does he think I would agree to marry Wuyou to him just because he tries so hard to please me?
Hmph, let me see if this Three Swords of Yin Tianzi is good enough!
Emperor Yuan Feng raised his leg and kicked Zhou Shu. Zhou Shu’s heart jumped, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge. But Emperor Yuan Feng’s kick didn’t contain the slightest bit of spiritual essence, nor did it contain any killing intent.
Zhou Shu resisted the urge to fight back. If he really fought back, the emperor wouldn’t be able to resist.
Emperor Yuan Feng kicked Zhou Shu’s butt. His strength…
… was just the strength of an ordinary adult. Let alone the fact that Zhou Shu had already cultivated the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Shield, even if he didn’t have any cultivation, he wouldn’t be injured by such a kick.
“Let’s go!” Emperor Yuan Feng called out to Eunuch Zhao and left in a flash.
Since this kid is so loyal, I will be magnanimous and let him off!
Emperor Yuan Feng and Eunuch Zhao disappeared into the night.
Right after they disappeared, an aura soared into the sky from the princess’s residence.
Yin Wuyou held a three-foot sword in her hand as she flew over.
She only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Shu was fine.
“Grand Minister, you—” Zhou Shu stared at Yin Wuyou with wide eyes.
Yin Wuyou was currently wearing a gauze robe, and her snow-white skin was faintly discernible, causing Zhou Shu to gulp.
Did she rush out in her pajamas? “Just now, I felt a powerful aura erupt. Is there an assassin?” Yin Wuyou looked around warily.
Gulp-Zhou Shu didn’t speak. Instead, he gulped.
Yin Wuyou turned to look at Zhou Shu in surprise. Following Zhou Shu’s gaze, she looked at herself.
The next moment, she screamed.
“Close your eyes! Don’t look! If you look, I’ll dig your eyes out!”
The marquis’s residence guards who had rushed over after hearing the commotion stopped outside the courtyard.
Her Highness is inside?
Should we go in?
The next moment, they no longer hesitate after hearing Yin Wuyou’s voice.
“No one is allowed to enter. Otherwise, I will execute your entire clan!” Yin Wuyou flew into a rage out of humiliation.
The guards looked at each other and dismissed themselves. Let’s wash up and go to bed. Her Highness is just playing with the marquis.
She really knows how to have fun-creating such a huge commotion.
As Yin Wuyou listened to the guards disperse, she fiercely glared at Zhou Shu, whose back was already facing her. Her charming face was so red that it was almost dripping blood.
“Die!” Yin Wuyou stomped her foot fiercely, then raised her slender foot and kicked Zhou Shu’s butt.
Then she turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the princess’s residence.
Zhou Shu rubbed his butt. Who did my butt offend?
I was kicked in the butt by two people in one night!
But Yin Wuyou’s kick felt more like a touch… Hmph, I won’t hold it against you. Otherwise, even though you are all first-rank and second-rank experts, the rebound of the Golden Bell Shield would have made you suffer!
Then he chuckled.
How satisfying!
My acting went well this time. I didn’t screw
up!
What are Emperor Yuan Feng and Eunuch Zhao thinking? They came to my mansion in the middle of the night and were stunned by my acting skills.
I wonder what Emperor Yuan Feng was here for. It didn’t seem like he was here to test me.
Although Emperor Yuan Feng’s and Eunuch Zhao’s aura was overbearing, they didn’t have much malice.
Zhou Shu could still sense this.
It was as if the two of them were purely out for a stroll.
I can’t figure out the higher-ups. And there’s also Yin Wuyou. I didn’t realize before that she was so big, so fair…
He felt his nose heat up as he rubbed it. Zhou Shu shook these thoughts off his mind.
Fortunately, my forging wasn’t interrupted.
Zhou Shu’s gaze fell behind him, and a smile appeared on his face. I have already forged the sword body. Next, it’s time for the positioning of the stars.
I just have to leave out the last star and then fix it during the military parade.
To other Forging Masters, the most difficult fixing of the stars was the simplest step for Zhou Shu.
He gathered his thoughts and took out the Heaven Refining Stone that Yin Wuyou had given him. Then he controlled the True Fire to cut off a piece.
“Star fixing!” Zhou Shu let out a low cry.
In his consciousness, the sword transformed into a human silhouette, its bright spots clearly visible.
Zhou Shu reached out his hand like a brush and began to move around the sword.
The imperial palace of Great Xia…
Emperor Yuan Feng and Eunuch Zhao had already changed back into their clothes. As for their night clothes, they had already been destroyed.
Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression was the same as ever, as if he hadn’t stood guard in the wind outside Zhou Shu’s forging room.
Eunuch Zhao also had a calm expression. Was he kicked by the emperor?
Nobody got kicked by the emperor.
“Great companion, what do the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi forged by Zhou Shu look like?” Emperor Yuan Feng suddenly asked.
Eunuch Zhao paused for a moment before speaking, “I didn’t see it either.”
At the time, he didn’t care about the sword at all. He was stunned by the kick. Your Majesty, didn’t you see the sword?
Emperor Yuan Feng was also a little embarrassed. When he heard the name Yin Tianzi, he had subconsciously kicked his great companion away. Later on, he had only heard what the brat had said, and he had forgotten to see what the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi looked like.
“Your Majesty, Marquis Zhou forged the sword in preparation for the parade. It shouldn’t be completed yet. He will only complete the final finishing touches during the parade,” Eunuch Zhao said, “Even if we saw it, it’s not a complete weapon.”
“Yeah.” Emperor Yuan Feng nodded. He was actually looking forward to the military parade.
In all his years since his ascension, this was the first time someone had forged a sword for him.
The Three Swords of Yin Tianzi, just listen to its name.
There was also that sentence: Those who commit crimes against Great Xia will be punished even if they are far away!
The boy surnamed Zhou seemed to be a good candidate too
Pui!
