My Sword Has a Way

After everyone was shocked, they remembered what Lord Zhao had said before. Now when everyone looked at the young man, there was a lot more awe in their eyes.

The young man holding the mace was already sweating profusely, regretting in his heart why he had taken on this hot potato just now.

The girl in white clothes beside him quickly ran to Xu Zhian and said, "Brother Xu, are you okay?"

The young man shook his head and looked at the fat official with an ugly face not far away and said, "It was your son who killed people first. I am just enforcing justice!"

The fat official's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said, "You can go, but this girl must stay!"

After hearing this, the girl hid behind the boy in panic. Xu Zhian frowned and said, "She must leave with me!"

The fat official grinned and said, "She must stay because she is a demon!"

When the onlookers heard this, they suddenly became noisy.

"What! The demon clan!"

There were constant cries of surprise, as if there was some kind of innate resistance to the demon race.

Even Zhao Xuan, the chief city officer of Yishui City, frowned, feeling that things were a bit tricky.

Xu Zhian said calmly: "Although she is a demon, she is more like a human than some people. On the contrary, some people may look human, but their hearts have already turned into demons!"

The fat official sneered, "Young man, you must have been bewitched by the monster in front of you. I will not blame you for now. As long as you hand over this person, I promise not to pursue your responsibility for killing my Tian'er."

The young man had a calm expression, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He said to the girl in white, "Ah Ling, you'll be fine as long as I'm here. The previous price remains the same, but you have to give me another pot of good wine!"

The girl in white said seriously, "Brother Xu, A Ling doesn't want to implicate you, so please stop caring about A Ling."

After saying that, the girl in white walked towards the crowd and said, "I am willing to go with you. Please stop making things difficult for Brother Xu!"

The fat official laughed grimly and said, "Catch this witch for me!"

Xu Zhian turned around and looked at the young man holding the mace and said, "You only have one chance to save this girl!"

The young man holding the mace felt the flying sword between his eyebrows, which kept emitting cold light. His Adam's apple moved and he said, "Stop! I declare in the capacity of the Hidden Dragon Secret Order that from now on, Yancheng will be temporarily taken over by the Hidden Dragon Guards. No one is allowed to act without authorization!"

Suddenly, several government officials did not dare to move forward and just looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, the fat official's eyes widened with anger. At this time, Lord Zhao said, "Master Yin, if you dare to make any unusual moves again, Wei Dutong of Qianlongwei will really come to your house as a guest. Besides, it's better to kill a bad son than to execute the whole family, right?"

The fat official's face turned pale, he glanced angrily at everyone in the field, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Zhao Xuan was sweating in his palms. If the fat official had insisted on his own way and really tore his face with the boy in front of him, the consequences would be disastrous. They didn't know the horror of the man behind the boy, and the miserable state of Wei Dutong of Qianlongwei that day. But he knew very well that the man definitely had the magical power of a thousand-mile flying sword to take someone's life, or the powerful strength of a sword to massacre a city. Fortunately, he won the bet in the end.

Zhao Xuan waved away the swordsmen and crossbowmen who were surrounding him, walked to the side of the young man and said, "Xu Zhian, the crisis has been resolved, so let's release Lord Han."

The young man nodded, and as his hand gestures changed, the black sword turned around and returned to the scabbard in an instant like a flash of lightning. Zhao Xuan on the side was shocked. He didn't expect the young man's ability to wield a sword to be so proficient that he could do it at will. His future achievements will surely be great. If he can make the young man owe him a favor today, then he will have an extra amulet in the future. He has made a profit from this move today.

The young man holding the mace put away his mace, walked up to the young man and said, "Brother, it's true that heroes emerge young. I am Han Li, the Qianlong Guard."

Xu Zhian nodded: "Xu Zhian."

The young man turned around and walked to the girl in white and asked, "You don't have it?"

The girl looked at the boy with wounds all over his body and several holes in his clothes, and said with some guilt: "A Ling is fine, it's all A Ling who caused trouble for Brother Xu."

The young man waved his hands and said, "I have a strength. I will definitely do what I promised to others. But I also have a weakness. I will do what I promised even if I die!"

The girl in white said with tears in her eyes: "But A Ling is a demon."

Seeing the girl’s aggrieved face, Xu Zhian was about to ask her for compensation, but in the end he couldn’t open his mouth.

Zhao Xuan, who was standing by, frowned at the girl in white and said to the boy, "Xu Zhian, those who are not of our race must have different hearts."

The young man was a little unhappy when he heard this. The middle-aged man saw that the young man was a little unhappy, so he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Of course, nothing is absolute. I think you can judge for yourself."

Xu Zhian bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you Lord Zhao for saving me. I, Xu Zhian, will repay your kindness in the future!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart."

Xu Zhian nodded, and the young man holding the mace and a group of Qianlong monks said goodbye to the two of them: "Little brother Xu, Lord Zhao, I will take my leave first. As soon as the secret order was issued, Yancheng was under martial law. There are still many things to deal with later, so I will not accompany you for long. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to the county city to find me, and I will definitely treat you well!"

Zhao Xuan bowed to the young man and said, "As long as Lord Han tells Governor Wei what happened today, Governor Wei will not blame you for the secret order and may even reward you."

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "I don't seek to achieve anything, I just hope not to make any mistakes. Goodbye!"

The middle-aged man said to the young man in black, "Xu Zhian, I am going back to Yishui City too. I went to the county city a few days ago to report some things. I didn't expect to meet you just after returning to Yancheng. It can be considered a fate. If you have the chance in the future, you can visit the government office as a guest. I will definitely welcome you."

Xu Zhian nodded and said, "If there is a chance, I will go."

The middle-aged man bowed and led a group of guards and servants towards the south city gate.

After the adults left, the people nearby seemed to be very hostile to the girl, always pointing and talking. Xu Zhian walked to the girl's side and said calmly, "Let's go, we're going to a place."

The girl in white nodded and followed the boy in black to leave the street with a strange atmosphere.

The girl looked at the black-clad young man walking in front of her with eyes full of admiration. She couldn't help but think to herself, "The great swordsman that Grandpa Zuyao mentioned must be someone like Brother Xu. Yes! He must be!"

The girl has a simple mind. Since she left Yunmengze, she has traveled all the way to Daliang Kingdom in Donghua Spiritual Land. During this time, she encountered all kinds of humans and monsters, some good and some bad. With the magic weapon given by her ancestor monster grandfather, she was always able to escape danger. It was not until this danger that the girl realized how terrible the world of martial arts was.

If it weren't for Brother Xu who risked his life to save me twice, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

The girl just followed the boy. The boy didn't say where they were going and the girl didn't ask either. She just thought that Brother Xu in front of her would definitely not harm her, because in the girl's eyes, the boy in black at this moment was the best person in the human race, the best in the world.

After an incense stick, Xu Zhian led the girl to an alley. After looking at the shop sign, Xu Zhian said to the girl, "Now that you are safe, you should give me the reward, right?"

The girl nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Ah Ling will get it for you right away."

After the girl finished speaking, a bell on her neck flashed, and a brocade bag appeared in the girl's hand, which she then handed to Xu Zhian.

The young man asked in confusion: "You can still use space objects even though your spiritual power is locked?"

Ah Ling said seriously, "Of course you can use your soul power, but you can only take things, you can't use them."

Xu Zhian nodded, took the brocade bag from the girl's hand, opened it and saw that there was no less than fifty taels of silver inside.

Xu Zhian only took twenty taels of silver and returned the rest of the silver to the girl.

The girl shook her head and said, "Ah Ling has a lot, these are all given to Brother Xu."

Xu Zhian's mouth twitched: "How many?"

The girl said seriously, "There is another big box. I stole it from Grandpa Zuyao when I came out. He still had a lot, like a small mountain. I was in a hurry so I only took two boxes."

Xu Zhian smiled bitterly. It was really incomparable. However, he still returned the remaining silver to A Ling: "I said it was only 20 taels. There is no reason to add more money later, so you should take it back!"

Faced with the boy's seriousness, the girl had no choice but to take back the brocade bag, looked at the shop in front of her and said excitedly: "Brother Xu doesn't want money, then Ah Ling will treat Brother Xu to a drink."

After saying that, he ran into the wine shop, and Xu Zhian followed him into the shop.

A servant saw the young man who bought wine yesterday come back again, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, were you satisfied with the wine you drank yesterday?"

Xu Zhian nodded and said, "Bring me fifty jars of Spring Thunder and send them to the Huafang Lake Ferry."

When the servant heard this, he immediately showed joy and said, "Okay, sir! A total of ten taels of silver."

Just as Xu Zhian was about to pay, the girl in white interrupted him and said, "Brother Xu, A Ling pays."

The servant took the money and said with a happy face, "Don't worry, sir, I will deliver it to you in a while. In addition, our store will give you two jars of Spring Thunder and ten jars of Cloud Spring as gifts."

Xu Zhian nodded and said calmly: "Thank you."

After saying this, the two of them left the wine shop.

Xu Zhian bought some food for the first time and said to the girl beside him: "If you buy me a drink, I will buy you a good meal."

By the time the two returned to the boat on the lake, it had completely darkened. The young man put all the wine sent by the wine shop into the mountain ghost's pocket, and then the two began to eat the food. It might be that they had not eaten for a whole day, or they might have been nervous from hiding all day, so they found the unknown food delicious.

Xu Zhian was drinking some wine. Although it tasted spicy, it was able to drive away the cold. The girl next to him kept chattering about the interesting things she had experienced while traveling around the world. Although there were not many thrilling stories, the boy still felt frightened after hearing them.

"Brother Xu, you're saying that the demon race and the human race can't coexist peacefully? In my hometown, many people from both races die every year. Every time I see them fighting each other, I wonder why they can't just get along well?"

The young man took a sip of his drink and said, "I don't know either. It seems that this world is just so cruel."
