CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 0487: BEING LOOKED DOWN UPON (SEVEN UPDATES)

"Great news!"

Qian Gu was overjoyed; he hadn’t seen Tie Zixi for a while, and this was a perfect chance to alleviate his longing.

Just as a few people were talking, a loud shout from outside was heard in the hall.

"Brother Qian, an old friend has arrived, aren’t you coming out to greet me?"

This voice was calm and steady, with full confidence.

Qian Liuzhi was delighted, stood up quickly, and walked out of the hall with quick steps, followed by the old steward and Qian Gu.

Outside the hall, three people were approaching gracefully, the leader being the same age as Qian Liuzhi, with his hands behind his back, but had two weapons resembling Judge’s Pens at his waist, exuding a chilling aura.

Behind him, a young couple walked side by side; the man was tall and handsome, but his eyes were rather cold, appearing quite proud.

The woman was even more extraordinary, dressed in a soft purple traditional long gown, with delicate feet in embroidered shoes, eyes bright as the moon, with an enchanting gaze, her beauty could make ninety percent of the women in the world feel inferior, adding a touch of splendor to Weiyuan Escort Agency.

Where she passed, numerous apprentice escort masters from Weiyuan Escort Agency looked on, filled with deep admiration.

"Brother Tie, it’s been a while, still as impressive as ever!"

Qian Liuzhi stepped forward, smiling.

The newcomer was none other than the equally renowned Tie Wuqing.

Qian Gu stared intently at Tie Zixi behind Tie Wuqing, full of joy.

The group sat down in the hall, and Tie Wuqing, dressed in a scholar’s robe, sat to the side and introduced to Qian Liuzhi, "Brother Qian, let me introduce someone first!"

He pointed to the young man who came with him and said, "This is Fu Feilong, the grandson of Fu Tiandao, the grandmaster of Hong Fist Sect!"

Qian Liuzhi, Qian Gu, and the old steward all focused their attention.

Fu Tiandao, the Sect Leader of Hong Fist Sect, was a Junior War King expert. Given that Fu Feilong was his grandson, no one dared to underestimate him.

Observing Fu Feilong’s aura, it had reached a High-level War General, with a faint trend towards the Peak of War General, ranking within the top fifty among the young generation in Huaxia.

"So it’s Brother Fu Feilong; I was too negligent earlier!"

Qian Liuzhi nodded with a smile at Fu Feilong.

With Fu Feilong’s identity, he had to pay more attention, and for escort agency missions, ancestral teachings mentioned relying on three parts martial arts and seven parts face.

As the grandson of Fu Tiandao, his presence was akin to borrowing face, making general martial arts masters retreat quietly.

"I’ve long heard of Master Qian’s renown, carrying the burden of Weiyuan Escort Agency alone. It’s an honor for this junior to meet you today!"

Fu Feilong stood up and slightly cupped his hands to Qian Liuzhi. Though he was proud, in front of a veteran strongman like Qian Liuzhi, he dared not be arrogant, as this was someone even slightly stronger than his grandfather Fu Tiandao.

Qian Gu didn’t listen to the others’ conversation. He just kept looking at Tie Zixi, his face almost dripping with love.

Tie Zixi merely smiled slightly without any response, while Fu Feilong by her side showed a flash of displeasure seeing Qian Gu’s gaze.

He accompanied them this time because he had intentions towards Tie Zixi, wanting to win the beauty’s smile; otherwise, with his nature, he wouldn’t come from afar to intervene, especially as Fu Tiandao had warned him prior that this matter was no trifling issue.

"Brother Qian, have you contacted Brother Ye? What did he say?"

Tie Wuqing suddenly asked.

Qian Liuzhi shook his head, "He can’t come. This time, we can only rely on the two of us!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Wuqing also showed a look of regret, "It’s really a shame he can’t make it!"

"Dad, are you talking about Ye Gang from the Ye Family?"

Tie Zixi couldn’t help but ask, even Fu Feilong was greatly curious.

"That’s right!" Tie Wuqing nodded.

"How tricky is this matter?" Tie Zixi was greatly surprised, "You actually need to invite so many experts to help?"

Tie Wuqing and Qian Liuzhi exchanged glances, and only then did Qian Liuzhi explain, "The Chiyou Sword is a divine product in this world, a top-tier among divine weapons. Two thousand years ago, a Sword Cultivator expert used it to slay an Emperor Beast, and the Chiyou Sword itself was unscathed."

"Hiss!"

The sound of drawing breaths in shock kept echoing.

To slay an Emperor Beast, which was equivalent to a Super Demon Beast of War Emperor Warrior level.

"If it were obtained by an ordinary martial artist, their combat capability would multiply; if a Sword Cultivator expert got it, it would be like a tiger with wings, or a dragon in the sea. Even War Emperor experts cannot resist such temptation."

"This escort mission is bound to be the most perilous for Weiyuan Escort Agency in hundreds of years; among our adversaries, there are likely War King Warriors!"

"Perhaps War Emperor Warriors can’t act due to national regulations, but some Intermediate War King Realm or High-level War Kings might emerge."

Tie Zixi and Fu Feilong finally understood; in this journey, there were certainly War King experts coming for the Chiyou Sword, which was indeed very tricky. If Ye Gang were here...

Plus, with Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing,

with three Junior War King Martial Artists, the odds of victory would be much greater.

Then few would dare to covet the Chiyou Sword, but unfortunately, Yu Yaosheng could not come.

"No matter what, we depart at noon; even if Brother Ye cannot come to assist, we must remember the ancestral instructions and not delay the escort time!"

Qian Liuzhi said solemnly, Tie Wuqing and the others nodded in agreement.

Tie Zixi pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and cupped her hands, "Uncle Qian, don’t worry, with you and my father here, plus Senior Hong’s name, there are not many who would dare to snatch the Chiyou Sword, and there should be few who can resist the two of you together."

"There’s half an hour until noon. Brother Tie, Niece Zixi, Young Brother Fu Feilong, you should rest here for a while. Once time is up, we will depart immediately, alright?"

The others all nodded; they were here to lend a helping hand to Qian Liuzhi.

At this moment, an apprentice escort master shouted from outside the hall, "Master, there’s someone outside the escort agency asking to see you. He said he came to assist with the escort."

"Assist?"

Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing both looked surprised. They hadn’t intended to invite others on this mission, so how could someone appear offering assistance at this time?

"Invite him in!"

Though deeply puzzled, Qian Liuzhi still wanted to see who it might be.

The apprentice escort master left for a few minutes and quickly brought someone to the hall’s entrance.

Everyone looked intently to see a young man, even more handsome than Fu Feilong, standing tall, with a calm and peaceful demeanor, eyes as deep as the stars, without a ripple.

Qian Liuzhi and the others were taken aback; they did not recognize this person and felt no aura of a martial cultivator on Ye Qingfeng, so how could he speak of assistance?

The extraordinarily handsome young man glanced around the hall, seemingly looking at a sea of ordinary people, devoid of any emotion.

He strode into the hall, ignoring Qian Gu, Tie Zixi, and Fu Feilong, and directly faced Qian Liuzhi and Tie Wuqing.
