Xue Jing pulled out the knife completely and gently stroked the blade, which was nearly 1.3 meters long including the handle, with fondness in his eyes.
This divine relic in the form of a sword has a very simple ability, which is the pure concept of "never wearing out"...
No external force can cause it to change even a particle. This extremely simple ability is what all sword-wielding warriors dream of.
Who can refuse a weapon that will never break, always stay sharp and never curl
Even though Xue Jing possessed the [Master of Weapons] and could turn anything he picked up from the ground into a magical weapon, the [Unsharpened Blade] was still of great significance to him.
"This thing has the characteristic of 'choosing a master'. When the holder admits in his heart that he has lost to another person, it will be transferred to the winner's hand..."
Xue Jing pondered.
According to Jiang Siwei, Otogi Suzuka did not come to the lounge. It seems that after he admitted that he had lost, the Unsharpened Blade moved to the lounge by itself and waited for Xue Jing, its new owner.
"Very good... From now on, you are my sword."
Xue Jing muttered to himself, raising the knife horizontally above his head.
"You have been wandering for who knows how many years. Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, I will be your last master."
“No one can take you away from me.”
As if in response to Xue Jing's words, or as if just a reflection of the light, a cold light flashed on the unsharpened blade.
“Click—”
Xue Jing sheathed his knife and picked up his cell phone.
As soon as I canceled the do not disturb mode, my phone started vibrating constantly, messages from various chat apps kept popping up, and there were many missed call notifications.
He was about to start replying when there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Wei, open the door and see who it is."
Xue Jing spoke.
Jiang Siwei nodded, walked to the door and opened it.
"Who are you?"
She looked at the people standing outside the door in confusion. The leader was a handsome young man.
The young man smiled slightly and said:
"Xue Jing, is Brother Xue here?"
Hearing the voice, Xue Jing turned around, his expression unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.
The person who came was actually—Xu Mude!
…
Chapter 270: Blaming the Buddha Youqing, the special status of the Wu family, and the successful trip to Yuancheng (4K)
Why did Xu Mude come to my house
Could it be that his crime was exposed
Xue Jing, who had really been a thief, felt a little guilty at first.
But he soon realized that it was unlikely, as he had not revealed even the slightest flaw. Even if he was exposed, the other party would have come to him long ago if they wanted to cause trouble, and would not have waited until this time, and their attitude would not have been so frivolous.
After a little thought, Xue Jing understood the real reason why Xu Mude came to him.
"Sister Wei, let him in."
Xue Jing spoke.
Jiang Siwei was just about to fulfill her manager's responsibility and not let strangers see Xue Jing casually, but when she heard the call, she immediately nodded to Xu Mude, stepped aside, and said:
"Come in."
Xu Mude smiled at her gently and said, "Thank you."
He walked into the lounge alone, and his entourage did not follow him in.
After walking in front of Xue Jing, Xu Mude bowed to Xue Jing and said with a sincere smile:
"Brother Xue, do you still remember me? We met in a hurry last time and didn't have a good chat. I'm sorry for neglecting you. Xu Mude apologizes to you..."
Xue Jing nodded to him, pointed to the seat next to him, and said:
"Mr. Xu, please sit down."
After Xu Mude sat down, Xue Jing said to Jiang Siwei:
"Sister Wei, I want to talk to Mr. Xu alone for a while."
Jiang Siwei nodded, left the lounge and closed the door gently.
When there were only two people in the room, Xue Jing turned his gaze to Xu Mude.
This guy is quite flexible...
The last time Toning Yuantai went to Xu's Biological Company to visit the divine relics, although Xu Mude showed up, he did not have any conversation with Xue Jing.
From a distance, Xue Jing also heard his conversation with Ning Yuantai and knew this man's attitude towards common people other than those in the thirteen wealthy families. He was a thorough aristocrat.
Judging from his remarks, although most of them are fallacies that cannot stand up to scrutiny, he does have his own thoughts and ideas in them, and he is not an ordinary person.
"Mr. Xu, thank you for letting me visit Xu's Biology last time."
Xue Jing spoke slowly.
Xu Mude chuckled and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor... By the way, I haven't congratulated Brother Xue yet. He won the U19 championship at such a young age. Brother Xue has a bright future. I watched the game and his performance was really wonderful."
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Which game do you think I played better, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Mude remained calm: "Of course it was the two matches with Zhou Yinglin... To be honest, I have been secretly upset with Zhou Yinglin for a long time. This guy loves to act cool every day, arrogant and unaware of it. Brother Xue really helped me vent my anger."
Xue Jing didn't comment: "Really?"
Xu Mude then said with a smile: "By the way, speaking of Zhou Yinglin, Brother Xue, when you and Zhou Yinglin finished the second game, didn't you get something from him..."
Xue Jing glanced at him, tapped his fingers on the table, and said softly: "You mean... 'The Wind That Started All Things'?"
Xu Mude's expression remained unchanged: "Brother Xue really knows what's good. He is indeed a person valued by Miss Wu... Yes, it is the 'Original Wind of All Things'."
"To be honest, this is exactly why I came to you this time..."
"Do you know where Zhou Yinglin got this 'Original Wind of All Things' from?"
Xue Jing looked curious: "How did it come from?"
He thought to himself that as expected, Xu Mude came for the wind of origin of all things that he had snatched from Zhou Yinglin.
It was no secret that he had this thing. After all, it was a live broadcast and countless people saw him taking away the thing from Zhou Yinglin.
It's funny to say... Xu Mude actually found the real culprit by accident.
He blocked the entire skyscraper center at all costs, risking spending countless money and offending countless people to find his own wind of origin of all things, which was also on Xue Jing's body, but he himself did not know it.
Xue Jing was calm and composed. Since Xu Mude wanted a favor from him, he would just let him handle the rest.
"Brother Xue, do you know the 'Secret Martial Arts Society'?"
Xu Mude didn't know what Xue Jing was thinking, so he smiled and spoke.
"Of course I know." Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xu Mude nodded and said, "To be honest, this Wind of Origin in your hand, Brother Xue, was given to Zhou Yinglin by the Secret Martial Arts Society... He thought that you, Brother Xue, could defeat him once, not by your martial arts strength, but by the power of the recipient, so he borrowed this Wind of Origin from the Secret Martial Arts Society... As it turns out, Zhou Yinglin was wrong."
Xue Jing smiled, "So?"
Xu Mude said softly: "The Secret Martial Arts Society hopes that Brother Xue can return this wind of origin of all things, so they entrusted me to be the middleman..."
Xue Jing raised his eyes slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Yinglin wanted to kill me in the ring, partly because of the instructions of the Secret Martial Arts Society."
He asked curiously, "If that's the case, then the Wind of Origin of All Things was also given to Zhou Yinglin by the Secret Martial Society in order to kill me... How dare they ask me to return it to them?"
The Secret Martial Arts Society is an extreme old martial arts organization founded by King Jiwu. Although King Jiwu himself has left the organization, all of his radical ideas from his early years remain in this organization.
They regard all power systems except the old martial arts as "impure things", and have a considerable degree of hostility towards the recipients, the transformed people, and the new martial artists.
Especially for someone like Xue Jing who has a very high talent in old martial arts but has been contaminated by the power of other systems... The secret martial arts society regards him as a thorn in their side as someone who has wasted his talent and tarnished the glory of mankind.
Zhou Yinglin was the first target of the Secret Martial Arts Society's attack.
"Wait a minute, Brother Xue, listen to me first."
Xu Mude smiled.
"What the Secret Martial Arts Society did was wrong, and they have now realized their mistake."
"Brother Xue's talent in old martial arts is beyond doubt. He always follows the rules during the competition and does not use any power other than old martial arts..."
Xue Jing gave a dry cough.
"The Secret Martial Arts Society has realized how valuable an old martial arts talent you are. Who knows, you might become the right-hand man of the Extreme Martial King in the future?"
Xu Mude spread out his hands.
"Plus, the Wind of Origin of All Things is very important to the Secret Martial Arts Society's 'daily activities'... As long as you return it to the Secret Martial Arts Society, they will promise not to attack you again."
Xue Jing couldn't help laughing:
"That sounds really interesting."
There was a smile in his voice, but his eyes didn't look smiling at all.
"They asked me to give them something in exchange for 'promising not to do anything again'..."
"Although I have no grudge against you, I can kill you, so since I'm merciful and don't intend to kill you, you have to repay me... Is that what you mean?"
"It's very logical, Mr. Xu. Don't you think it's interesting?"
Hearing the sarcasm in Xue Jing's words, Xu Mude remained expressionless and smiled:
"I also think the Secret Martial Arts Society is a bit... but they are powerful enough and have been bullying people all along. There is nothing we can do about it."
"If you don't return the Wind of Origin to them, the Secret Martial Arts Society will become increasingly hostile to you in order to take it back, and their attacks will become increasingly severe."
"so… "
"Brother Xue, have you ever thought of another way to deal with this trouble?"
Finally, I got to the point.
Xue Jing thought that this map of Yan State drawn by Mr. Xu was too long.
He pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? How do you say that?"
Xu Mude smiled and said, "I think you should also know that I am in charge of our Xu's Biological Company. The company headquarters is also used as a shelter for some of the divine relics that Xu's company has collected."
"I am also very interested in divine relics, just like you, Brother Xue... This original wind of all things is also related to a research we are currently conducting."
"Brother Xue, you can sell it to me and get rid of this trouble."
"I'll offer 10 billion, what do you think?"
Xu Mude spit out an astonishing number, but his tone remained unchanged and very casual, as if he was buying a piece of clothing in a mall.
"Of course, for a person like you, just talking about money is too vulgar... Aren't you very interested in divine relics? I heard from the Sixth Agency that your dream is to touch all the divine relics?"
Xu Mude chuckled.
"Last time you visited our Xu's Biology, you were unable to touch any of the divine relics because most of them were kept in closed containers... This time, you can do as you wish."
"As long as you sell me the Wind of Origin of All Things, you can do whatever you want with all the divine relics in Xu's biological body. I can even choose ten of them as gifts... How do you think?"
"Not only can I get rid of this big trouble, allowing me to deal with the Secret Martial Arts Society, but I can also gain a lot of benefits... Isn't this a good deal?"
Xu Mude spoke seductively, feeling that at this point, he was almost certain to succeed.
Unexpectedly, Xue Jing shook his head indifferently and sighed:
"Mr. Xu, your proposal is very tempting, but unfortunately... it's a little late."
I've already fucking touched all those things in your house, you didn't expect that.
Now that the rice in the rice jar had been eaten up, the divine relics in Xu's biological body no longer had any appeal to Xue Jing.
Not to mention the money.
