Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

"Okay, go and prepare the necessary resources and guidance, and provide them at the appropriate time."

Xue Chengfeng smiled slightly, "Okay."

After speaking, he turned and left Qin Feng's residence.

Bai Zhi stood in front of the Spirit Weapon Pavilion's display area, carefully observing the swords that shone with a mysterious light.

She read the descriptions of each sword word by word, her eyes revealing her longing and appreciation for these divine artifacts.

Shi Yu stood beside her, watching Bai Zhi intently examine each sword, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

These swords possess unparalleled power and are priceless; even cultivating the 'Alchemy Sword Technique' requires a vast amount of resources and money.

He couldn't help but feel conflicted about his tight financial situation.

Bai Zhi turned her head and looked at Shi Yu's face.

"Shi Yu, what do you think of this sword?" She pointed to the most eye-catching sword in the display case.

Shi Yu suppressed his inner turmoil and replied with a smile, "This sword is indeed very good, but it is also very expensive."

Bai Zhi blinked. "Expensive? How much does it cost?" She knew nothing about these artifacts; she was simply attracted by their gorgeous appearance.

Shi Yu looked embarrassed. "Several hundred thousand spirit stones, I guess."

He knew that revealing this number would dishearten Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi stood there, stunned, a wave of disappointment washing over her.

She hadn't expected the divine sword before her to be so expensive; for an ordinary person, it was an astronomical sum.

She lowered her head and silently clenched her fists.

But as time passed, she raised her head again.

She looked at Shi Yu with a determined gaze, "I think I still deserve to have an excellent weapon."

Looking into Bai Zhi's determined eyes, Shi Yu felt a warm current rise in his heart.

He knew that Bai Zhi wasn't after vanity or showing off, but was genuinely interested in swordsmanship.

He decided to work hard to earn enough money to buy her the sword she had always dreamed of.

“Okay! I’ll figure something out,” he solemnly promised.

"Thank you."

Bai Zhi nodded and smiled as she spoke. Bai Zhi and Shi Yu stood in front of the Spirit Weapon Pavilion's display area, still intently gazing at the dazzling sword.

They were so engrossed in their love of swordsmanship that they didn't notice anyone approaching from behind.

Suddenly, a voice broke their silence, "This sword is indeed excellent; it's worth having."

Su Yu appeared out of thin air behind the two of them, his hands behind his back, looking at Bai Zhi with confidence and arrogance.

Bai Zhi subconsciously took a step back, a sense of panic welling up inside her.

She hadn't expected to encounter such a powerful and mysterious figure as Su Yu on this ordinary day.

Shi Yu clenched his fists tightly, sensing the approaching crisis.

He knew Su Yu was a formidable opponent, and he worried whether he was strong enough to protect Bai Zhi.

"Crown Prince Su, what are you doing here?" Shi Yu asked Su Yu firmly.

Although he was trembling inside, he was unwilling to let any threat get close to Bai Zhi.

Chapter 680 A group of figures emerged from the surrounding shadows

Su Yu replied indifferently, "I heard you want to buy that sword, and I can offer my help."

Shi Yu frowned, doubting Su Yu's true intentions.

"Help? Why are you being so kind to us?" he asked warily.

"I just think Bai Zhi deserves this sword."

Su Yu turned her gaze to Bai Zhi, her eyes revealing a profound emotion.

Bai Zhi felt confused and panicked.

She didn't understand why Su Yu was so interested in her and willing to help her buy the sword.

She had heard that Su Yu was a powerful figure, but she didn't know much about him.

"Are there any conditions?" Shi Yu temporarily put aside his doubts and tried to figure out the real purpose behind the deal.

Su Yu smiled as he approached Bai Zhi. "My conditions are simple: you can have this sword, and in exchange, I require you to become my companion." There was a hint of urgency in his tone.

Bai Zhi stared at Su Yu in shock, unable to believe the conditions he had proposed.

"You're asking me to be your companion? What do you mean by that?" She was filled with confusion and resistance.

Shi Yu frowned, sensing Su Yu's hidden strength and threat.

He calmly calculated the risks.

Before Bai Zhi and Shi Yu could fully process Su Yu's conditions, a group of figures suddenly emerged from the surrounding shadows.

They were unaware that they had been silently surrounded.

These mysterious figures were dressed in black and all wore masks, making it impossible to identify them.

The man in black rudely invaded the space between them, causing Shi Yu and Zhang Hui to feel severe pressure.

"What does this mean? Su Yu, are you playing us?" Zhang Hui questioned sharply.

Su Yu smiled slightly as she looked at the scene before her.

"A bit too much pressure, aren't you? These are my friends; they're just here to offer you some 'companionship,'" he replied aloofly.

"Don't get carried away!" Shi Yu's sharp gaze swept around, trying to find a weakness he could exploit.

"No matter what you do, I will never let you hurt Baizhi."

"What a pity..." Su Yu shook her head gently, "I thought this offer would be attractive to you."

"How much is that sword worth? If we can afford it, we'll buy it."

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· 0

Zhang Hui said coldly, trying hard to suppress the fear in his heart.

Su Yu smiled as she looked at them. "This sword cannot be bought with money; it only accepts special exchanges."

His gaze lingered on the two of them, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"What exactly do you want from us?!" Shi Yu's voice rang out sharply, the sudden situation making him feel overwhelmed.

..... 0 ...

Su Yu touched her chin, seemingly deep in thought.

"I've heard that you two, along with Sect Leader Bai Chengming, are all outstanding disciples of the Ascension Pavilion. I have a particular interest in the Ascension Pavilion. If you can provide me with some information about it, then this sword will belong to you."

For you.

Shi Yu and Zhang Hui exchanged a glance and then fell into a tacit understanding.

They knew that refusing Su Yu's conditions might lead to even worse consequences. Bai Zhi, Shi Yu, and Zhang Hui stood closely together, facing the men in black who surrounded them.

The oppressive force emanating from the darkness made them feel suffocated, but they showed no sign of backing down.

Just then, a deep and authoritative voice suddenly came from the shadows: "Stop!"

Chapter 681 You are the successor of that lost divine sword, aren't you?

With the sound, a figure leaped out and stood among the crowd.

He was wearing a lake-blue robe and looked quite dashing.

It was none other than the enigmatic Xue Chengfeng.

"Xue Chengfeng?!" Bai Zhi, Shi Yu, and Zhang Hui all looked at Xue Chengfeng in surprise.

They had no idea why Xue Chengfeng was there.

"Who dares to trespass into the Spirit Weapon Pavilion?!" Xue Chengfeng questioned the man in black with a grave expression. "803"

The man in black let out a cold laugh. "Didn't Su Yu tell you? We're just here to provide some friends to keep you company."

"Companionship?" A cold glint flashed in Xue Chengfeng's eyes. "Do you think I would let you lay a hand on them?"

As he finished speaking, Xue Chengfeng exuded a menacing killing intent.

The man in black immediately felt an invisible pressure, as if the entire space was shrouded in this murderous aura.

"Not good!" Su Yu frowned. He hadn't expected Xue Chengfeng to be so powerful.

Xue Chengfeng glared sharply at the men in black. "I don't care who you are, you won't hurt them in the slightest today!"

Before he finished speaking, his body had already transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the man in black.

That powerful force swept in like a raging storm.

The men in black were all intimidated by Xue Chengfeng's imposing presence and retreated.

Although they were quite strong, they felt powerless against such murderous intent.

Bai Zhi, Shi Yu, and Zhang Hui worked together to buy time for Xue Chengfeng.

Do you think I would let you lay a hand on them? Xue Chengfeng's voice was full of determination and authority, and the murderous aura emanating from him seemed to have enveloped the entire space.

The men in black felt an invisible pressure and retreated.

Despite their considerable strength, they were utterly powerless against this terrifying killing intent.

Bai Zhi, Shi Yu, and Zhang Hui were filled with shock and gratitude as they watched the scene unfold before them.

Xue Chengfeng's incredible strength gave them even more hope for the future.

However, as the men in black retreated, Su Ge suddenly stared at Bai Zhi with a cold and sharp expression.

He seemed to have discovered some important clue and was deeply interested in the secret of the lost divine sword behind Bai Zhi.

Su Ge walked towards Bai Zhi, his gaze fixed on her with unfathomable depth...

Bai Zhi felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart; her intuition told her that this person was dangerous.

"You must be the successor of that lost divine sword?" Su Ge's voice carried a hint of disdain and curiosity.

He had clearly guessed Bai Zhi's identity.

Bai Zhi remained vigilant and did not answer Su Ge's question.

However, Shi Yu and Zhang Hui became increasingly worried about Su Ge's actions.

They realized they had ventured deep into enemy territory and were now dealing with a powerful foe, and they were filled with anxiety and unease.

Now that you know my identity, you're not here to harm me, are you? Bai Zhi gripped her long sword tightly, looking at Su Ge warily.

Su Ge's gaze was firm and cold; he did not answer Bai Zhi's question.

Instead, he pressed on: "Do you know the secret behind the Lost 2.0 Divine Sword? Tell me!" He was clearly very curious about the Lost Divine Sword.

Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment; she couldn't easily reveal the true secret of the lost divine sword.

After all, this concerns the balance and future of the entire cultivation world and even the world at large.

However, at this critical moment, the key is whether they can persuade Sog to let them go.

Chapter 682 No matter what threats you make, I will not yield.

Time seemed to stand still, the atmosphere so tense it was hard to breathe.

Bai Zhi did not answer Su Ge's question, but a hint of determination and resolve flashed in her eyes.

Bai Zhi gripped her longsword tightly, facing Su Ge's threat without flinching.

She knew she couldn't easily reveal the secret of the lost divine sword, but the other party was clearly full of curiosity and interest in it.

Suger sneered, a cruel glint in his eyes.

He bluntly threatened, "You'd better tell me obediently, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and shook her head resolutely: "I will never tell! No matter what threats you make, I will not yield!"

Amid the tense atmosphere, Shi Yu and Zhang Hui stepped forward.
