“My coming here at your invitation does not mean that I have accepted your conditions. If you insist on taking my martial arts manual, my Tai Chi Sword Sect will never hand it over to you unless you agree to one condition.”

"What are the conditions?" Chu Feng asked politely.

Their goal is the cultivation method, not fighting. If they can acquire it through literary means, that's fine too.

Gu Xixi had no objection; neither side wanted to suffer mutual destruction.

"I want the mechanical gun to be exchanged directly for our Tai Chi Sect's martial arts manual, and it cannot be exchanged with anyone else. The mechanical gun is unique to our Tai Chi Sword Sect. If you can agree to this, we don't need to have a competition."

It's not worth ruining their fine sword for nothing.

After the Tai Chi Sword Sect leader finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Daoist Kongtong. Daoist Kongtong nodded, and the Tai Chi Sword Sect leader was relieved.

After a moment of silence, Gu Xixi replied, "Okay."

"Tai Chi Sword Technique, superior grade," Shen Qingyan added afterward.

The situation changed abruptly. With this method in place, all the heroes and warriors became restless. How could they do this? They had no sense of martial ethics.

"Tai Chi Sword Sect, you worthy of calling yourselves the five major sects, you actually lost without a fight, what kind of heroes are you, you're all cowards!"

"You have truly disgraced the martial arts world. A bunch of cowards who are afraid of death, you have abandoned all integrity for the sake of a peerless divine weapon. Even if you become the number one sect in the martial arts world, we will not be convinced."

"Stop being so sour. If you had the chance to exchange, wouldn't you have? It's clearly your martial arts manual, but Miss Chu doesn't even want it."

"Exactly, why can't we do business that doesn't result in any loss? Besides, if you all had any backbone, why would you be sneaking around here?"

……

The crowd started arguing, and then the remaining Shaolin, Emei Sword Sect, and Xilin Fist Sect all gave up the fight.

The various factions primarily engaged in exchanges, each receiving one mechanical gun, one sniper rifle, and one lightsaber.

Each comes with fifty bullets.

Some were jealous, some were envious, some were green with envy, and some offered congratulations; the scene was lively.

Gu Xixi rang the bell, "Everyone, today's challenge has come to a break. Those who still wish to challenge, please come back after lunch this afternoon. For specific times, please ask the waiter."

Everyone politely bowed to Gu Xixi, who sat down and began to tally up all the gains from the morning. "I have 16 of the 20 martial arts manuals now, so I'm still 4 short of the total. I'm also 2 short of the top-grade five manuals."

"Now we only need the Kongtong Sect, the Demonic Sect, and the imperial court to complete the mission. It seems a bit risky. Brother Tong, are you sure the mission you gave me is one that we can accomplish?"

"You've done a great job on every mission; you need to have confidence in yourself. Besides, you're too concerned about winning or losing. In this vast world, how can you possibly complete every mission perfectly and receive the reward?"

Shen Qingyan's voice and figure disappeared together.

Gu Xixi: ……

She was young and impetuous, and thought it was possible!

Jiang Xi rushed upstairs and urgently reported, "Xi Xi, Master Kongtong, Nangong Xiaotian and a prince from the imperial court have come to see you. They say they want to discuss some things with you. I saw several sect leaders from the five major sects behind them... Should we be on guard?"

"No need. Just bring a table of food and invite everyone to the restaurant to eat and chat together." Gu Xixi shook her head and stood up.

During the martial arts competition, when the five major sects proposed to exchange for peerless divine weapons, the most obvious detail was that they all exchanged glances with the Taoist Master Kongtong.

No wonder the old man wished her all her dreams would come true...

Since it's a peaceful invitation, she might as well listen to what they have to say. Perhaps she can make use of the resources of Kongtong and the imperial court to collect the remaining martial arts manuals she needs.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Jiang Xi ran downstairs, and soon a few people, led by Daoist Kongtong, came up.

They followed Gu Xixi into the restaurant without looking at her, sat down around the table, Chu Feng stood behind Gu Xixi with his arms crossed, and Jiang Xi brought out eight dishes and a soup, and even some decorative platters.

The banquet was of a very high standard.

Chu Feng took Erguotou and Wuliangye and started pouring drinks for everyone. He then put the remaining Wahaha in a new cup and placed it in front of Gu Xixi in a very elegant manner.

"This is the Pegasus Milk that my sister drinks regularly. She says it can keep her young forever, so I won't be drinking with you all. Please don't mind."

Gu Xixi: What the hell is this? Does Wahaha even know that?

"It's just the time of day, so I'd like to invite you all to a simple meal. Please don't be shy, we can talk as we eat." Gu Xixi raised her glass, and the others followed suit.

After clinking glasses and drinking, the sect leaders finally spoke.

"Miss Chu, everything here is indeed excellent. I cannot even drink such fine wine in the palace. Where does Miss Chu come from? As a vassal king of this Great Victory Dynasty, I sincerely wish to extend my hospitality."

“Miss Chu, to be honest, the actions of our four major sects today were all based on the advice of Daoist Kongtong. This has benefited us greatly.”

"That's right, and we hope Miss Chu won't mind our offensive words today..."

……

"Since both sides are satisfied, why should I mind?" Gu Xixi chuckled. "You all came to see me together, presumably not to apologize. I like frankness, so please speak your minds."

The group kept their eyes down, their gazes finally settling on the Taoist priest of Kongtong.

“Miss Chu, I spoke with you yesterday and heard that you are worried about the people. I suppose you are a loyal and patriotic person. Therefore, I have brought my people to bother you today.”

Master Kongtong stood up, bowed to Gu Xixi, and lowered his head.

"The Great Victory Dynasty has long resided in a prosperous land, which has attracted constant invasions from surrounding foreign countries. Although the martial arts world and the imperial court do not interfere with each other, the people are suffering in dire straits, which is something we cannot bear to see."

"The weapons you brought, young lady, are all formidable. After exchanging them with you, we will also donate them to the imperial court for research and use, so that the day of unification of the world can come as soon as possible. Originally, we wanted to rely on our own strength, but now that more than a dozen small countries have united, the Great Victory Dynasty may soon face annihilation."

Master Kongtong sighed; these were all predictions he had made after traveling and analyzing the area during this period.

The prince also bowed solemnly and said, “Miss Chu, your strength is unfathomable. I represent the imperial court, while Daoist Kongtong and Alliance Leader Nangong represent the martial world. Please help us.”

"If this great battle breaks out, even if we are lucky enough to win, the people will suffer heavy casualties. If you are willing to help, when we are victorious in the future, I am willing to give you my fiefdom, which will belong to you."

"Please consider it, Miss." The other sect leaders also stood up, cupped their hands, and bowed to Gu Xixi. "As long as you agree, Miss, you can name your conditions. We will do our best to fulfill them for you."

Gu Xixi truly never expected that the five major sects and the imperial court would actually unite for the sake of the people...

Shen Qingyan also said that this court is very good, and she is just an ordinary citizen...

[Ding! The host has triggered a hidden mission... Help Liu Sheng, the chosen one of this world and the vassal king of the Great Victory Dynasty, unify the world and bring peace to the people. Upon completion of this hidden mission, you will receive a reward of an aerial transportation science and technology package.]
