Chapter 613

Nine Dugu Swords (2)

Ye Lang was dumbfounded.

Are you telling me that you want me to bring this pendant there and marry one of the girls in that family?

Yes! This is great for you! Its rumoured that he has a granddaughter called Xier that is one of the four beauties in the empire. Shes not married yet! said Ye Sheng with a joyful grin.

It was an expression he hadnt shown in a while. He didnt imagine that Ye Lang would be the one that sees it.

Im not interested. If this is the case, Ill just tell Migen you dont have any descendants and he doesnt need to worry about the deal anymore! 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 wouldnt be living such a miserable life in poverty. Theres 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 didnt like receiving the alms of others and didnt do anything that would harm his reputation.

Actually if you didnt want the marriage, you could trade in the deal for three requests as long as your requests dont violate their principle, said Ye Sheng.

No need for that. I dont like free things. Ill pay for whatever I need, 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.

Ambitious! However, I dont want to be looked down by others. If you dont want the requests then just return the pendant to Migen and tell him that the Ye family doesnt want anything. Even if we die, we need to be honourable, said Ye Sheng.

Ye Lang was impressed by Ye Shengs attitude. He made up his mind to help him.

Sure! Rest assured, stay here for these few days. When you pass, Ill ask someone to handle the matters for you and make sure youll have a respectable passing! said Ye Lang as he nodded.

What about you? asked Ye Sheng.

Im leaving tomorrow to meet that Migen, replied Ye Lang.

Theres no rush! said Ye Sheng.

You dont need to rush but I do! said Ye Lang bluntly.

That Ye Sheng wanted to say that Ye Lang could deal with his own matters first then only go to Ai La.

Thats right, Ye Lang hadnt thought about doing Ye Shengs task later!

Since Ye Sheng would be long dead, would being a little late even matter?

No need to say it! Its on the way. Ill rush it and drop it off, I wont come back here, said Ye Lang as he waved his hand as if he knew something when in fact he didnt.

Then go! But you cant wear such fancy clothes, you need to dress as simple as me

Ye Lang stayed silent for a while and said, Its not simple, its tattered!!

Cough, cough. I mean you should dress a bit normal. Dont wear silk, wear some coarse cloth so that the Ha De family would think I raised you, said Ye Sheng.

why am I brought up by you now? Arent I supposed to be a distant relative? said Ye Lang, unsure where the old man was leading this to.

Thats right, a distant relative that I brought up and I treated you like my own grandchild, said Ye Sheng with a smile.

Does it matter? Also, this would all come apart if someone just checked, said Ye Lang in slight confusion.

Ye Sheng replied sternly, Of course! He would think I was not giving him face** if I did otherwise!! I dont think theyll send people over to investigate. I did raise a few relatives children and taught them how to fight. You can say that you stayed here when you were younger, no one would know,

**give face = defending his honour

So troublesome! Is that all? Ye Lang frowned, this was getting complicated but it wasnt to the point where he couldnt handle it.

Rough cloth clothes? He was fine with it. He didnt 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.

Thats 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? said Ye Sheng. He couldnt tell what weapon Ye Lang normally used as he wasnt carrying any with him.

Understood. My sword skills are fine, I dont need any lessons! said Ye Lang. He wasnt the best at it but he didnt 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 all The Nine Dugu Swords!!

This trick was perfect for Ye Lang. It didnt 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 wasnt 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.
