Chapter 199: Chapter 200 How Can It Be Called Stealing?

Translator: 549690339

Miao Mountain Sword Sect, even stepping into their Sect Forest is an extremely difficult task, and now to take away the Ancient Lantern Jade from that group of unreasonable Swordswomen…

Indeed, I was happy a bit too early.

“Cough cough, you figure it out yourself. The Ancient Lantern Jade is now more of a symbol among the various powers. Those who see it as a treasure consider it priceless, while those not too concerned about the ancient legacy wouldn’t say it’s not for sale. Go around, ask around, get to know the situation, and eventually, you can get your hands on it,” Zhu Heavenly Officer said, looking helpless.

“Father, don’t you have the ambition to flatten Miao Mountain Sword Sect, how about we come up with a plan together?” Zhu Minglang asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Cough cough, it’s not the time, not the time yet,” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.

“Then I will first go to Miao Mountain Sword Sect to probe their strength,” Zhu Minglang said.

“How about this, you get Wu Feng to write you an invitation letter, go there in the name of Yaoshan Sword Sect, and when no one is paying attention, take away their Ancient Lantern Jade?” Zhu Heavenly Officer suggested to Zhu Minglang.

“Steal?? That doesn’t seem right!” Zhu Minglang said.

“What’s wrong with that, Miao Mountain Sword Sect, your mother is one of the leaders, can taking something from your mother be called stealing?” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.

“That’s true,” Zhu Minglang scratched his head, feeling that things were not so simple.

“It doesn’t matter, if you get caught, just say I instructed you to do it, let her come to me, or ask her to come to redeem you. Either way, I will be able to see your mother, and if I can see her, there is room for things to turn around,” Zhu Heavenly Officer said.

At this point, was he still using this pitiful kinship to salvage this hopeless marriage?

Zhu Minglang sighed, feeling that Zhu Heavenly Officer was scheming against him.

Forget it, I’ll make specific plans when I get there.

If it can be resolved in a civilized way, I’ll try to do so as much as possible, otherwise, I’ll consider the sewer strategy that Zhu Heavenly Officer mentioned.

When he returned to the small courtyard, Zhu Minglang felt much more relaxed.

Knowing that Miao Mountain Sword Sect had the Ancient Lantern Jade was enough; at least there was a clear direction, no need to panic anymore.

Visiting Miao Mountain Sword Sect in the name of Yaoshan Sword Sect was not a bad idea; otherwise, charging into the mountain gate like last time was really too dangerous.

Zhu Minglang found Yaoshan Sword Sect’s Hall Master Wu Feng. Wu Feng was stationed in the Imperial City all year round. Yaoshan Sword Sect had their own villa in the Imperial City, located on Orchid Forest Mountain at Water Droplet Lake Imperial City.

After leaving Zhu Gate, Zhu Minglang directly headed to the Orchid Forest Villa. The distance wasn’t too far; riding on the Divine Green Holy Dragon, it would take roughly the time of an incense stick to arrive.

Flying over the bustling city area of Water Droplet Lake Imperial City, he landed in the quietly located Orchid Forest Mountain. Zhu Minglang landed in front of the villa, where he was familiar with the route, almost like going back to his own home.

When the disciples at the villa saw Zhu Minglang coming, they all respectfully called him Young Master. Compared with Yaoshan Sword Sect, the people here hadn’t changed much, all familiar faces.

“Is Brother Wu Feng available?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“He is, but the Sword Master is with guests. Shall I take you there, Young Master?” the disciple from the villa asked.

“Sure.”

At the bamboo pavilion for guests, Zhu Minglang saw Wu Feng sitting at a long wooden table.

Various swords were displayed on the table, including silver swords, bronze swords, thin swords, heavy swords, longswords, flying swords, and short swords.

All sorts of swords. Wu Feng was obviously explaining to the guests about different swords, swordsmanship, and sword factions.

“Speaking of the Fighting Sword Faction, the most outstanding in our Yaoshan Sword Sect is, of course… huh, Zhu Minglang?” As Wu Feng spoke these words, he lifted his gaze and just happened to see Zhu Minglang coming down from the stone steps of the bamboo house.

“Your Fighting Sword Faction’s most outstanding is Zhu Minglang?” At this moment, a swordswoman from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect expressed her surprise.

A smug smile appeared on Zhu Minglang’s face.

What a coincidence.

The guests Wu Feng was hosting today were exactly those three female disciples from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, with Wen Mengru among them!

“Of course not, the most outstanding of our Fighting Sword Faction is Zhu Minglang’s master, Zhu Xuehen,” Wu Feng clarified.

The smile on Zhu Minglang’s face gradually faded.

He walked over, and the three swords women from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect also saw Zhu Minglang, their little faces showing a hint of surprise.

Especially Wen Mengru, her gaze at Zhu Minglang was somewhat complicated.

She looked unwilling to concede, yet she had to admit that the other party was much stronger than herself!

“Zhu Minglang, your timing is impeccable. The ladies from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect have been wanting to visit us. However, since the path to Yaoshan Sword Sect is too distant and they have to return in a few days, I brought them to our Orchid Forest Mountain Villa to have a look and to learn from each other’s sword factions,” Wu Feng stood up and welcomed Zhu Minglang.

Seated beside Wu Feng in proper attire was Yun Zhonghe.

He glanced at Zhu Minglang, and his expression immediately darkened.

At least Wen Mengru had exchanged a few moves with Zhu Minglang.

Yun Zhonghe couldn’t even withstand the veiled lady accompanying Zhu Minglang.

“Brother Wu Feng, I’ve actually come this time to visit the Miao Mountain Sword Sect to learn from the Flying Sword Faction. I didn’t expect to meet the three sword sisters from Miao Mountain here. It’s a good opportunity to seek your consent in person,” Zhu Minglang got straight to the point about his intentions.

There was no possibility of another brazen intrusion.

Following the official procedures should be hopeful.

“What the young master says makes sense. Our Sword Sect hasn’t exchanged knowledge for many years, while other Divine Mortal Powers and Dragon Shepherd Powers often hold meetings to learn from each other. I’ve mentioned this several times to the masters—that we shouldn’t ignore the integration of Sword Intent just because of the distance or different systems,” Wu Feng chimed in.

“Uncle Master Wu speaks the truth. Shall I go seek permission from our elders first?” Wen Mengru’s eyes lit up.

“Sure, Wu Feng will be awaiting the good news. In fact, I would very much like to visit the Miao Mountain Sword Sect myself. Miss Wen Mengru, I hope you will help facilitate this,” Wu Feng asked earnestly and sincerely.

“Uncle Master Wu has been patiently and generously explaining the Sword Dao of Yaoshan Sword Sect to us these past few days. We have learned a lot and are deeply grateful. We will certainly try our best to persuade our elders,” Wen Mengru replied.

In fact, the Miao Mountain Sword Sect had let go of many prejudices over the years.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made the special trip to this Orchid Forest Mountain Villa to visit and learn.

Since courtesy calls for reciprocation, Wen Mengru indeed hoped to have more exchanges with the people of Yaoshan Sword Sect, especially after her bitter defeat to Zhu Minglang.

“Then I’ll trouble the sword sisters,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You jest, Brother Zhu. In theory, you are the Young Master of our Miao Mountain Sword Sect,” Wen Mengru said with a smile.

Zhu Minglang felt a wave of awkwardness.

When he initially stormed into the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, that’s exactly how Zhu Minglang brazenly told the disciples there.

And then he was thoroughly taught a lesson.
