Chapter 613
Nine Dugu Swords (2)
ââŠâ Ye Lang was dumbfounded.
âAre you telling me that you want me to bring this pendant there and marry one of the girls in that family?â
âYes! This is great for you! Itâs rumoured that he has a granddaughter called Xiâer that is one of the four beauties in the empire. Sheâs not married yet!â said Ye Sheng with a joyful grin.
It was an expression he hadnât shown in a while. He didnât imagine that Ye Lang would be the one that sees it.
âIâm not interested. If this is the case, Iâll just tell Migen you donât have any descendants and he doesnât need to worry about the deal anymore!â said Ye Lang without hesitation.
In the Ai La Empire, many fought to gain the favour of the four beauties. If they were given this opportunity, they would lose their minds.
If Ye Sheng leaked this information, he wouldnât be living such a miserable life in poverty. Thereâs surely someone willing to trade this pendant with him for a large sum.
This could only mean that Ye Sheng was a proud person. He didnât like receiving the alms of others and didnât do anything that would harm his reputation.
âActually if you didnât want the marriage, you could trade in the deal for three requests as long as your requests donât violate their principle,â said Ye Sheng.
âNo need for that. I donât like free things. Iâll pay for whatever I need,â said Ye Lang.
The three requests were probably a more attractive deal than the marriage since the Ha De family is one of the most powerful families in Ai La.
âAmbitious! However, I donât want to be looked down by others. If you donât want the requests then just return the pendant to Migen and tell him that the Ye family doesnât want anything. Even if we die, we need to be honourable,â said Ye Sheng.
Ye Lang was impressed by Ye Shengâs attitude. He made up his mind to help him.
âSure! Rest assured, stay here for these few days. When you pass, Iâll ask someone to handle the matters for you and make sure youâll have a respectable passing!â said Ye Lang as he nodded.
âWhat about you?â asked Ye Sheng.
âIâm leaving tomorrow to meet that Migen,â replied Ye Lang.
âThereâs no rush!â said Ye Sheng.
âYou donât need to rush but I do!â said Ye Lang bluntly.
âThatâŠâ Ye Sheng wanted to say that Ye Lang could deal with his own matters first then only go to Ai La.
Thatâs right, Ye Lang hadnât thought about doing Ye Shengâs task later!
Since Ye Sheng would be long dead, would being a little late even matter?
âNo need to say it! Itâs on the way. Iâll rush it and drop it off, I wonât come back here,â said Ye Lang as he waved his hand as if he knew something when in fact he didnât.
âThen go! But you canât wear such fancy clothes, you need to dress as simple as meâŠâ
ââŠâ Ye Lang stayed silent for a while and said, âItâs not simple, itâs tattered!!â
âCough, cough. I mean you should dress a bit normal. Donât wear silk, wear some coarse cloth so that the Ha De family would think I raised you,â said Ye Sheng.
â⊠why am I brought up by you now? Arenât I supposed to be a distant relative?â said Ye Lang, unsure where the old man was leading this to.
âThatâs right, a distant relative that I brought up and I treated you like my own grandchild,â said Ye Sheng with a smile.
âDoes it matter? Also, this would all come apart if someone just checked,â said Ye Lang in slight confusion.
Ye Sheng replied sternly, âOf course! He would think I was not giving him face** if I did otherwise!! I donât think theyâll send people over to investigate. I did raise a few relativesâ children and taught them how to fight. You can say that you stayed here when you were younger, no one would know,â
**give face = defending his honour
âSo troublesome! Is that all?â Ye Lang frowned, this was getting complicated but it wasnât to the point where he couldnât handle it.
Rough cloth clothes? He was fine with it. He didnât care much about fashion. The only reason he was so well dressed now was because he wanted to buy the finest clothes he could find, just to waste his money.
âThatâs about it, also you need to use a sword. The Ye family uses swords as our main weapon, do you need me to teach you a few tricks?â said Ye Sheng. He couldnât tell what weapon Ye Lang normally used as he wasnât carrying any with him.
âUnderstood. My sword skills are fine, I donât need any lessons!â said Ye Lang. He wasnât the best at it but he didnât need any lessons.
He only needed to study more about the sword and he could soon be a master!
What trick should he use?
Of course it was the most famous one out of them allâ The Nine Dugu Swords!!
This trick was perfect for Ye Lang. It didnât require much inner strength nor did it need refined skills but it could leave the impression that he was much better than he was.
Ye Lang wasnât too familiar with it because when he first ventured out into the world, he mostly learned boxing.
The Nine Dugu Swords could be easily picked up by a fast learner like Ye Lang.
In reality, the trick was quite simple. First, one needed to be fast, faster than anyone else. Anyone using the skill needs to look fast, think fast and move fast. They must see the incoming attack, choose the best way to retaliate and move.
