Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 63 Two Young Men
Early in the morning, the waiter of Yunchen Inn pushed open the door and saw two people leaning against the stone pillar outside the door.

Both of them were teenagers, and their clothes were quite elegant.

The slightly older boy was wearing a plain brocade robe and had a handsome appearance. He must be the son of some wealthy family.

The slightly younger boy was wearing a dark robe with narrow sleeves, a short sword at his waist, and dressed like a warrior.

"Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?" the doorman asked casually.

"Come and try the fish from your Yunchen Inn." After the young man in brocade robe said this, he turned around and walked into the door of Yunchen Inn.

The young warrior said nothing, but followed the young man in brocade robe respectfully into the Yunchen Inn.

At the request of the young man in brocade robe, the waiter took the two of them to the second floor and found a seat by the window.

"Sit down, sit down." The young man in brocade robe sat down, and seeing the young warrior standing aside and not sitting down, he waved his hand and said.

"Sir, this..." Upon hearing this, the young warrior who had a fierce look on his face when he entered the inn showed a hint of hesitation.

"What are you talking about? Sit down quickly." The young man in brocade robe pointed to the seat next to him and motioned the young warrior to sit down.

"Yes." The young warrior responded and sat respectfully next to the young man in brocade robes.

"Hey, sir, our inn has just opened. You may have to wait a little longer before the dishes are served. Please bear with me." The innkeeper scratched his head and said to the young man in brocade robe.

"It's okay. My last name is Xu. If anyone comes looking for me, just let me know." The young man in brocade robe said with a smile.

The young man in brocade robes lifted the lid of the teapot on the table in front of him, took a look, and then closed the lid again. He instructed the innkeeper, "Go and exchange it for a pot of the best tea in your shop first. I'll talk about the wine and food when the person who is looking for me arrives."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The inn waiter said cheerfully and went downstairs carrying the teapot.

"I'm used to traveling alone. This time I brought you to Qizhou City to see the world, not to let you get into trouble. You have to control yourself and don't always think about sparring." The young man in brocade robe said to the young warrior beside him.

"Young master, I am a warrior. What's wrong with warriors exchanging skills with each other?" The young warrior pouted, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his respectful attitude.

"I told you you're fat and you're out of breath. How do other people spar? How do you spar?" The young man in brocade robe was anxious. He reached out to take the teacup on the table, but found that there was no tea in it. He went to look for the teapot, but realized that the innkeeper had taken the teapot to exchange for tea leaves. He became even more angry.

"When people spar with each other, they stop when the time is right. You do spar with others when the time is right, but what about other things? Take the last time you were in the teahouse, do you call that sparring? You called tearing down the teahouse!" The young man in brocade robe said angrily, and turned his head to look out the window.

Although it was early in the morning, there were already many people walking on the street, and most of the shops on the street were already open.

The young man in brocade robes turned around and asked the young warrior, "What do you mean?"

The young warrior raised his slightly lowered head and replied respectfully, "Without your consent, I will never spar privately."

"That's more like it." A smile appeared on the face of the young man in brocade robe.

"Your Majesty, here comes the tea."

... "What time is it?" Jiang Xuan woke up from his sleep and relaxed a little. He remembered the appointment with Xu An to meet at Yunchen Inn today.

"Sir, are you looking for someone?" the innkeeper asked Jiang Xuan who was looking around in the inn.

……

Following the innkeeper up to the second floor, Jiang Xuan quickly recognized Xu An sitting by the window.

"Brother Xu, how are you?" Jiang Xuan walked to Xu An's desk and clasped his fists towards him.

"Brother Jiang, how are you? Please take a seat." Xu An's face was full of enthusiasm, as if he had met an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He arranged for Jiang Xuan to sit opposite him.

"Brother Xu, who is this?" Although Jiang Xuan roughly judged the identity of the other young warrior, his specific identity was still unknown.

"Oh, this is my bodyguard, also surnamed Xu, like my own brother." Xu An introduced.

Guard Xu stood up again and clasped his fists towards Jiang Xuan, saying, "A few days ago, I heard from you that you saw a warrior who wields a spear and has excellent aptitude. I have long wanted to meet you, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Xuan also stood up and clasped his fists towards Guard Xu, saying, "Brother Xu, you are too kind. Since Guard Xu is your guard, he must be very capable."

Seeing that Guard Xu was interested, Xu An quickly interrupted the conversation between Jiang Xuan and Guard Xu and said, "Why are you standing? Sit down, everyone."

Xu An knew Guard Xu. If he hadn't said this, Guard Xu would have asked about the sparring with Jiang Xuan.

Guard Xu sat down, picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them.

He was also very clear about Xu An's intention, which was simply to prevent him from mentioning the idea of ​​sparring. However, Guard Xu was different from the other guards. When he saw a talented warrior, especially one of Jiang Xuan's age, he couldn't help but want to spar with him.

If it were in the past, even Xu An might not have been able to stop him, but as Xu An said, his bodyguard Xu almost demolished a teahouse a few days ago because of a sparring match with another young warrior at the peak of the Heavenly Rank, and it took Xu An a lot of money to settle the matter.

Knowing that the possibility of competing with Jiang Xuan was slim, Guard Xu listened carefully to the conversation between Jiang Xuan and Xu An, hoping to interject at some point to inquire about Jiang Xuan's true strength.

"This Young Master Jiang is at least at the Heavenly Rank level, and he has come to Qizhou City this time!" Although he appeared calm while sitting there, Guard Xu was already very excited in his heart.

Anyone who knew Xu Huwei knew he was a martial arts fanatic. His primary weapon was the sword, but after reaching a certain level of mastery with the sword, he turned his attention to other weapons.

Over time, Xu Huwei's most proficient weapon is still the sword, but his understanding of many other weapons is not inferior to that of the heavenly-level warriors who use the same weapons.

Of the four ranks of warriors—Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow—the three emphasize a deep understanding of martial arts. Xu Huwei's mastery of certain weapons other than the sword rivals that of a Heaven-ranked warrior wielding the same weapon. This suggests he can achieve Heaven-rank levels using multiple weapons. Such aptitude is truly terrifying!
However, because some weapons were used by relatively few people, Guard Xu not only found it difficult to find someone to teach him how to use the corresponding weapons, but even after getting started, it was difficult for him to find a Heavenly Rank warrior who could use the corresponding weapons, which made him very depressed.

The spear is one of those weapons that is used by relatively few people.

Therefore, guard Xu was extremely eager to spar with Jiang Xuan, a heavenly-level warrior who was good at using spears.

"If the young master doesn't allow me, I will go to spar with Young Master Jiang in private. We can find a more open place." Guard Xu thought to himself.
