Dugu Nine Swords (2)

"..." Ye Lang was silent for a long time before saying, "You don't mean I should go find the other party's daughter or granddaughter and marry one of them with the jade pendant?"

"Hmm! You're really lucky. This is something most people can only dream of. It's said that one of his granddaughters Xi Er, is one of the Four Great Beauties of the empire, and she's still unmarried!" Ye Sheng said with a smile, a happy smile on his face.

This was an expression he hadn't shown in many years; he never expected to be here today, laughing because of Ye Lang.

"I'm not interested. If this is what you're after, I'll just tell that Migen that you have no successor and he doesn't need to worry anymore!" Ye Lang directly rejected this opportunity that others would want but couldn't have.

In the Aila Empire, countless people yearn for the favor of the Four Great Beauties; such an opportunity would surely be fiercely contested.

If Ye Sheng had leaked this information, his life wouldn't be in such dire straits now. There would definitely be people offering him benefits in exchange for half of the jade pendant, and the number of them would certainly be considerable.

This also shows that Ye Sheng is a proud person who will not accept charity or anything that would damage his reputation.

Next, Ye Sheng further clarified this point by mentioning another matter that had been agreed upon.

"Actually, if you give up this opportunity, this agreement can be transformed into three conditions, as long as they don't violate the principles!" Ye Sheng said.

"No need. I don't like things that aren't earned. If I want something, I'll pay for it." Ye Lang wasn't interested in this condition either.

These three conditions are likely to be even more attractive than the previous marriage agreement, and many more people will want them. The Hader Family is now one of the largest Lineage in the Aila Empire, and their influence is immense. Many people hope to gain their help.

"That's spirited! However, I don't want others to look down on me. If you don't want it, then don't. Just return that jade pendant to Migen unconditionally and tell them that our Ye Clan doesn't want anything from them. Even if we die, we will have dignity." Ye Sheng suddenly became much more imposing at this moment.

This situation made Ye Lang feel a little admiring. It seemed that this old man still had an extraordinary sense of pride. Just for that reason, I should help him do this, so that the Hader Family would know what it means to be poor but still have ambition.

"Of course! Don't worry, you can eat and drink here for the next few days. After you die, I will have someone arrange your funeral, and I will make sure you have a grand and glorious affair!" Ye Lang said, nodding.

"And what about you?" Ye Sheng asked, feeling that Ye Lang's words implied that he wouldn't stay here for even a moment longer.

"I'll go to Aila City tomorrow to find that Migen," Ye Lang replied.

"No need to rush, it's alright!" Ye Sheng said.

"You're alright, but I'm important! I have other things to do!" Ye Lang said irritably.

"This..." Ye Sheng wanted to say that there was no need to rush. He could finish his work first and go after he was done.

That's right, Ye Lang didn't seem to realize that this matter could be done later, and didn't necessarily have to be done immediately!

Since Ye Sheng is already dead, what difference does it make if it's a little later?

"No need to say anything! It's just a detour to deliver something, I'll just hurry up and be done with it. I don't even know if I'll ever come back here again." Ye Lang waved his hand and said, seemingly knowing this, but also seemingly not knowing it.

"Then you'd better go quickly! But this time, don't dress so luxuriously; you should dress simply like me..."

"..." Ye Lang was silent for a moment, "This isn't called simplicity, this is called rags!!"

"Ahem, what I mean is that you should dress simply, not in fine silk, just coarse cloth will do. That way, the Hader Family will think that I raised you," Ye Sheng said.

"... How did it become that you raised him? Aren't you a distant relative?" Ye Lang was confused. What was this old man up to now?

"That's right, you're a distant relative I raised, so I treat you like my own grandson," Ye Sheng said with a smile.

"Is this even meaningful? And what if someone comes here to investigate and exposes us?" Ye Lang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Sheng said seriously, "It makes sense! If I don't say it like that, it's like I just found someone to fob him off and made him lose face!! As for others coming to investigate, that won't happen. I did take care of a few relatives' children and taught them swordsmanship for a period of time. You can just say you were here when you were a child, and no one will know."

"This is really troublesome. Okay, that's all for now!" Ye Lang frowned. He was having a bit of a headache about this, but it wasn't unacceptable. It was just a matter of a few words.

Wearing coarse cloth clothes? Ye Lang didn't care at all. As long as the clothes were wearable, that was fine with him. The main reason he was dressed so well now was that he wanted to spend money to buy the best, which meant he wanted to splurge.

"That's about it. Also, you need to use a sword. Our Ye Clan mainly focuses on swordsmanship. Would you like me to teach you a few moves?" Ye Sheng said, looking at Ye Lang. He couldn't tell what Ye Lang was using, as Ye Lang didn't have any weapons on him.

"I understand. My swordsmanship is alright, I don't need you to teach me!" Ye Lang replied directly. Although Ye Lang was not very proficient in swordsmanship, he did not need anyone to teach him.

He only needs to study swordsmanship to become a master swordsman immediately!

What sword technique should I use?

Is there even a need to ask? Of course, it's the most famous and powerful sword technique in the martial arts world. I believe that out of a hundred people, ninety-nine would choose this sword technique.

The Dugu Nine Swords!!

The Dugu Nine Swords are very suitable for Ye Lang now. It doesn't require too much Internal Energy, that is, it doesn't require too much Battle Qi. This way, people will only feel the exquisiteness of his swordsmanship, and won't feel how high his strength is.

That's definitely a great skill for playing dumb to outsmart others!

Ye Lang did not study the Dugu Nine Swords in great depth because he wanted to integrate into society after he left home, so he mostly learned martial arts and only dabbled in the Dugu Nine Swords.

However, although the Dugu Nine Swords is a peerless martial art, it doesn't actually take too long to learn; as long as you have high comprehension, you can master it.

In fact, the Dugu Nine Swords are quite simple to put into words. First, speed is key. It's not just about being fast with your hands; you have to be faster than anyone else, striking one step ahead of others to exploit their weaknesses. You also need to be quick-witted, able to spot the opponent's moves in the shortest time. And then you need to be quick-thinking, able to predict the opponent's moves as quickly as possible and devise a way to counter them.
