C518 Sword of Spring and Autumn Extinguishes the Soul
I smiled mysteriously and didn't answer her question. I looked down at my watch. It was already midnight.
"Little He, did you order dinner?"
"Yes."
"Mm, Wang Long and the others should be arriving soon. We'll talk about it when they arrive."
I smiled and said, "Darling, go get that long box."
She made an 'oh' sound, got up and quickly walked towards the small room. When she came out again, she was holding a long box in her hand.
I turned to look at Liu Cong, "Brother, you followed me for so long, risking your life to protect me. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even know how many times I would have died, you don't love money, you're not greedy, I never knew how to repay you.
Liu Cong slightly frowned and asked in surprise, "What?"
I took the box from Tian Yihe and placed it in front of Liu Cong. "Open it and take a look."
He opened the box curiously, and his eyes immediately lit up. He immediately took out the sword from the box, and with one hand on the sword hilt, he gently caressed the sword with the other, revealing a deep affection in his eyes.
The next second.
He stood up and walked to the window. He then swung his sword forward, and a half meter long hole appeared on the curtain.
Hiss!
When the crowd saw this scene, all of them sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time.
"Good sword."
A cold brother like Liu Cong actually started laughing. It was clear how much he liked this sword.
He stood there as he gently caressed the body of the sword. Suddenly, he let out a cry of surprise. After which, he held the body of the sword in both hands and started scrutinizing it.
"What's wrong?"
"There are words on it."
"What word?"
"I don't know him."
Liu Cong curiously shook his head.
"Normally when I let you read more, you wouldn't listen. You don't even know how to read. You're illiterate."
He turned around and walked back to the tea table. He handed me the sword and gave me a look of disdain. "Then tell me, what is that word?"
I took the sword and flipped it over and over for a few seconds before frowning and asking, "What word?"
The corner of Second Fool's mouth twitched. He pointed to the sword and said in a mocking tone, "Here, you can't even read a word. You still have the nerve to laugh at others."
I lowered my head to take a closer look and saw that there really were two strange patterns. I immediately felt a little embarrassed and said, "These are words?"
"This should be an ancient seal character, illiterate."
Uh.
I was stunned for a moment before I smiled. "So it's an ancient character. That can't be helped. I'm a new generation male and I don't recognize the antique character. I'm afraid only the old antiques would know that it's an ancient character."
Liu Cong's face immediately darkened.
Tian Yihe chuckled and slapped me. "You don't know him yourself, and yet you laugh at others instead."
The others laughed as well.
"Bro, now is the technological era. As long as Mother Du is here, I can do anything. I'm just waiting."
I smiled and said something. Then, I took out my phone to take a picture of those two words. After that, I posted a message on the internet. Most of the netizens here were warm-hearted people.
"This sword is very good, but I cannot take it."
Liu Cong's tone was full of regret, and his eyes were filled with reluctance.
"Why?"
I don't understand.
"This is not only a sword, but also an antique. If I were to walk around with an antique sword in my hands, wouldn't that look a little too attractive?"
What he said made sense.
If such a good sword were to be kept hidden in a secret chamber all day, and could not be used, it would truly be a waste.
Suddenly, I had an idea.
"This matter is simple. Make a sword sheath for this sword. If not, no one will know that this is an antique sword. In any case, with your skill, you don't need to use this sword often."
Liu Cong revealed a thoughtful expression before saying hesitantly, "Is this alright?"
"Of course it's fine. Such a good sword, if it was kept in the exhibition cabinet or secret room all day, it would be a pity. It should be used." Of course it's fine, such a good sword, if it was placed in the exhibition cabinet or secret room all day, it should be used.
As I spoke, I noticed that Liu Cong's gaze was fixed on his sword. He smiled and shook his head.
Since he likes it so much, I might as well just leave it at that. I really don't know what his scruples are about. As for that reason which might attract attention, I don't believe it.
At this time, my cell phone rang. I picked it up and saw that someone had replied to my message. I quickly opened it and saw that it was Soul Extinguisher.
Liu Cong asked curiously, "What word?"
"If this netizen didn't trick me, these two words would be Soul Extinguisher."
He immediately frowned and repeated the words, as if he was recalling something.
The next moment.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly snatched the sword away. He gently caressed the blade of the sword, and his gaze was so gentle that it was as though he was touching a woman. Hehe.
"No wonder it's so sharp. It's actually Soul Extinguisher."
His tone was very excited, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a pleasantly surprised smile.
"Do you know where this sword came from?"
I asked uncertainly.
He nodded his head and smiled, "I once read about a famous sword manual at Master's place. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Yue made eight famous swords, and the sixth sword is Soul Extinguisher, which is said to have the ability to exorcise evil spirits."
"Damn, swords from the Spring and Autumn Period must be very valuable."
My eyes immediately turned fiery. "Brother, we might as well sell this sword. In this era, who would still use a sword?"
He immediately retracted his sword and angrily said, "You've really lost your mind."
Actually, I was just teasing him.
At this moment, Tian Yihe was no longer happy. He slightly pouted and muttered with a bit of jealousy in his voice, "You didn't even give me a present."
"Little He, there are a lot of jewelry. Pick one that you like."
She immediately smiled happily, wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. Then she jogged towards the suite.
There was no woman who didn't like jewelry.
When I saw how happy she was, I smiled from the bottom of my heart. I worked so hard not only to fulfill my dream, but also to give these female friends a better life.
I can afford what they want. I can protect them when they are in danger.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
I shouted.
The door opened, and three people walked in: Wang Long, Baldy Qiang, and Ah Lang.
They greeted me.
"Let's go to the meeting room."
I said something to them, got up, and walked out of the room. As I walked out of the room, I saw that there was a brother standing every two meters in the hallway, all the way to the stairs on the second floor. The brother in the lead was a pheasant, and as I passed by him, I patted his shoulder and said loudly, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work.
"Thank you, big brother." They shouted in unison.
I didn't say anything else and walked straight into the meeting room.
Bang.
As the conference room door closed behind us, we sat down at the conference table. Naturally, I sat at the head of the table and looked at them one by one. They were all looking at me curiously, not knowing what I was going to do.
I cleared my throat.
Time flies so fast, it has already been half a year since I stepped onto this path. In this half year, you might not know this, but I have experienced many deadly situations, and almost lost my life every time. The opponents I have encountered are all very strong, from a little hoodlum to a major power, or even a terrorist organization.
After I said that, I stopped and looked at Wang Long. I joked with a smile, "Xiaolong has a deep impression of my experience."
He smiled awkwardly, "Big brother, don't make fun of me."
As for me and Wang Long, I rarely told anyone about it. When the others heard our conversation, they all revealed curious expressions.
Following that, Wang Long continued, "When Big Brother did not walk down this path, I once took Liu Zi and the others and bullied him, and almost took his life. Later on, Big Brother used some tricks to take revenge on me, and played me round and round, and finally had to recognize him as big brother. It was at that time that he had plans to walk this path."
"You guys had something like this before."
The bald man forced a smile as he spoke.
"Brother Qiang, don't mention it, when I was threatened by Eldest Brother, I was so stifled and frustrated that I was not convinced at all. Think about it, a person whom I bullied turned into my Eldest Brother in the blink of an eye, no one would feel comfortable in their hearts. But after getting along with Eldest Brother, his courage and wisdom have completely convinced me.
At this time, Ah Lang asked curiously, "Brother Long, how did you come to be?"
"We are all brothers, it doesn't matter even if I tell you this. Back then, I …"2
Before Wang Long could finish his words, I interrupted him and said, "Enough, don't bring up that matter anymore, do you understand?"
He should be able to understand what I'm saying.
After all, it was a matter of life and death. Just in case, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
He gave me a grateful look.
"As I walk further and further down this path, the challenges I will face will become greater and greater. But now, I am not fighting alone, I have you and your over 100 brothers behind me, so every decision I make must be carefully thought out, and no mistakes can be made, otherwise, it is very possible that it will bring about a devastating disaster to the society."
I paused here and was about to continue when a clanging sound came from the door of the meeting room.
"Come in." I shouted.
The pheasant pushed open the door and walked in. With a respectful tone, it said, "Big brother, the supper is here."
"Leave your supper, and bring the rest to the conference room."
"Yes."
After the pheasant left, Tian Yihe walked in. Behind him were two brothers with two bottles of red wine and a goblet in their hands.
I asked her in astonishment, "You've already picked it so quickly?"
She sat down beside me and pulled out a necklace from her collar. She asked happily, "That's right. Have you seen how pretty she is?"
"Mmm, my Little He has good eyes."
"There's more here."
She shook two more wrists, each with a delicate jade bracelet, then sighed.
"It's a good thing that you've picked up your favorite jewelry. What are you sighing for?"
She wagged ten slender white fingers at me. "Didn't you notice something was missing?"
"There's a ring inside."
I don't understand.
"You should gift the ring to me."
She pouted slightly and rolled her eyes at me.
Everyone laughed.
I immediately promised to make it up to her. Only then did she smile in satisfaction.
After that, I turned to my brothers and seriously said, "Now that the staff are here, you are all core members of the society. There are two important matters that I want to discuss with you.
They nodded and waited for me to continue.
