Chapter 64 Xu Guard

"Why can't I see Brother Jiang's two spears?" Xu An first waved to the inn waiter who was guarding the side, indicating that he should serve the food. Seeing that the two spears on Jiang Xuan's back were gone, and replaced by the short knife with a brown scabbard on his waist, he asked Jiang Xuan casually.

Jiang Xuan's two spears were left with Sha Lao, so naturally he couldn't tell Xu An about this. It was the same principle as not being able to tell Sha Lao about Xu An for the time being, and not being able to tell Xu An about Sha Lao for the time being.

"I came to see Brother Xu today, and it was too ostentatious to bring two spears with me, so I put them aside." Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

Recalling the day when he first met Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan was targeted by a villain because he was wearing a brocade robe. Xu An did not doubt Jiang Xuan's saying that every failure is a lesson learned, and nodded to Jiang Xuan.

However, Jiang Xuan's words made Guard Xu somewhat anxious. He didn't know what reason to start a conversation, so he could only wait for another opportunity to speak.

"I almost forgot something important." Jiang Xuan patted his head and placed a cloth bag in front of Xu An. He then spoke softly, "I bought the things. The price was a bit high. I spent 150,000 taels. In addition, I took the initiative to borrow 300 taels to buy another item. The banknotes for the supplement were also placed in it."

Something as valuable as the Strengthening Muscle Powder cannot be easily shown to others in a crowded place like an inn. Jiang Xuan naturally understood this.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang!" Xu An was very happy and seemed to trust Jiang Xuan very much. He did not open the cloth bag to check, but pushed the cloth bag directly in front of Guard Xu and signaled him to put it away.

Although Guard Xu was also a teenager, he had followed Xu An for many years. After understanding Xu An's meaning, he slung the cloth bag across his back.

Jiang Xuan was very pleased with the behavior of Xu An and Xu Huwei. They undoubtedly left a very good impression on Jiang Xuan.

Seeing Guard Xu put away the cloth bag, Jiang Xuan looked at Guard Xu again.

Seeing this, Xu An smiled and said, "I didn't buy it for him. He is already a peak Heavenly Rank warrior."

"A peak Heavenly Rank warrior! How old is he?" Jiang Xuan exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.

In Yingzhou, a warrior around twenty years old who could reach the peak of the Earth Rank was considered to have excellent qualifications, and Xing Yue was one of them.

However, the warrior in front of Jiang Xuan, who looked younger than himself, had actually reached the peak of the Heavenly Rank!
As far as Jiang Xuan knew, there were only a handful of warriors in Yingzhou who reached the Heavenly Stage at the age of twenty. In terms of talent, Jiang Xuan and his sister Jiang Xian were already among the best young warriors in Yingzhou. Guard Xu, having reached the peak of the Heavenly Stage before the age of twenty, was truly unbelievable.

"In reply to Young Master Jiang, I'm sixteen years old." Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, Guard Xu replied naturally. At the same moment, he realized his opportunity had come. He added, "Although my strength has reached the peak of the Heavenly Rank, my understanding of some weapons is still not thorough. I need further training."

"Oh? I wonder which weapons Guard Xu is referring to?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"For example, Mr. Jiang's commonly used weapon is the spear." After quickly saying the word "spear", Guard Xu felt relieved.

Xu An was on guard against everything, but Guard Xu still told him about the sparring. Although he hadn't said the word "sparring" yet, it was only a matter of time.

"Guard Xu has extraordinary qualifications, and Jiang Xuan is afraid that he cannot help Guard Xu." Jiang Xuan's words were not humble, but came from the heart.

Of all the true peak-level warriors of the Heavenly Realm, Jiang Xuan had only met Sha Lao. Although he had never fought with Sha Lao, Jiang Xuan was very clear about the gap between them.

Jiang Xuan had also seen and even fought against a peak-level Quasi-Heavenly Rank warrior. Even though the fat man had forcibly increased his strength by taking Blood-Sufficient Pills, the difficulty of that battle left a deep impression on Jiang Xuan. Since Guard Xu was a peak-level Heavenly Rank warrior, even if his primary weapon wasn't a spear, Jiang Xuan didn't believe he had much to offer him.

"We'll know whether I can help or not after a fight." Guard Xu leaned forward and said to Jiang Xuan excitedly.

Having anticipated Guard Xu's words, Xu An turned his head again to look at the street outside the window.

At this time, outside the Yunchen Inn, the streets were bustling with people, and all the shops were open, making it very lively.

"How about it? Mr. Jiang, would you like to have a sparring match with me?" Guard Xu looked at Jiang Xuan with anticipation.

Jiang Xuan wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, he looked at Xu An beside him.

At this point, Xu An's gaze had shifted from the street outside the window to Jiang Xuan and Guard Xu. Seeing Jiang Xuan looking at him questioningly, he smiled helplessly and said, "If Brother Jiang is willing, it would be a good thing."

Now that things had come to this, Xu An couldn't intervene any further. He was only worried about Guard Xu's impromptu sparring. Now that Jiang Xuan and Guard Xu had discussed things to this point, finding a more open area would be relatively safe.

"Okay, how about setting it up today? I'm not very familiar with Qizhou City, so you two can decide the location." Jiang Xuan agreed readily.

Upon hearing this, Guard Xu seemed very excited. He clapped his hands, stood up excitedly, rubbing his hands, and looked eager to try.

"Sit down, sit down." Xu An found it a little funny when he saw Guard Xu's appearance.

"However, my two spears are not stored in Qizhou City, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit Qizhou City now. I have to find a suitable spear first." Jiang Xuan said to Xu An and Xu Huwei.

In fact, even if Jiang Xuan brought two spears with him, he would most likely not use them to spar with Guard Xu.

The most important reason is that as a top-level warrior of the Heavenly Realm who has a good understanding of many kinds of weapons, Xu Huwei's understanding of spears must be far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

The unique characteristics of the Black Rhino Spear and the Swallow Spear made them easily detectable by Heavenly Rank warriors. While Jiang Xuan had the assistance of Elder Sha, a peak Heavenly Rank warrior, he was not currently in Qizhou City. Exposing the Black Rhino Spear and the Swallow Spear would put them at great risk, leaving them vulnerable to covetousness.

"Brother Jiang, you don't have to search hard." Xu An said to Jiang Xuan with a chuckle, then looked at Guard Xu standing beside him.

Guard Xu scratched his head and said to Jiang Xuan a little embarrassedly, "I have a lot of weapons, you can choose whatever you want, Master Jiang."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank Brother Xu and Guard Xu in advance." Jiang Xuan clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Xu An and Guard Xu.

"Sir, your dishes are here." Seeing that there was a break in the conversation between the three people, the inn waiter who was standing by quickly said to Xu An.

"Brother Jiang, have some food." Xu An smiled and waved to the innkeeper, then spoke enthusiastically to Jiang Xuan.
