Having come all the way from the Supreme Alliance, the closer we get to An Inn.
The more Ren Qianxing heard about Li Chengqian, the more legends he heard.
Especially when he learned that Li Chengqian was going to compile a list of the Grand Masters of the Ming Dynasty, Ren Qianxing began to have ulterior motives.
As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on; it seems that Guan Yutian is not as powerful as he imagined.
Should I continue to be loyal to him?
Ren Qianxing has now gotten the answer he wanted: his master, Guan Yutian, is ranked fourth on the Grandmaster list.
With his innate aura, no one below the Martial King realm could break through his defenses; such strength could indeed make him a dominant figure in the martial world.
However, Ren Qianxing was not very satisfied with this level of strength, because there were three others above Guan Yutian.
Besides the Grandmaster Ranking, there are also Martial Kings, Immortal Cultivators, and this transcendent Peace Inn in this world.
Thinking of this, Ren Qianxing immediately stood up, pushed open the door, and said, "Mr. Li is indeed a man of extraordinary wisdom."
Ren Qianxing's voice attracted everyone's attention. Li Chengqian glanced at Ren Qianxing and smiled.
"So it's Hall Master Ren from the Supreme Alliance!"
"I have admired you for a long time!"
"Mr. Li is too modest. Qianxing is just an unknown person in front of you, and does not deserve such a respectful title."
"The reason I interrupted Mr. Li's storytelling is because Qianxing has a question in his mind. I wonder if Mr. Li can answer it?"
Li Chengqian waved his right hand and laughed, "Speak freely."
"My master, Guan Yutian, is so praised by Mr. Li. I, Qianxing, thank Mr. Li."
"But since Mr. Li has given my master such a high evaluation, why is my master ranked fourth on the list of Grandmasters?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Gee!
Mr. Li, the apprentice has come to speak up for his master. Now let's see what you do.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "What Hall Master Ren said makes sense. Guan Yutian's martial arts skills, coupled with the power of his innate qi, are truly remarkable."
"It is indeed extremely close to the pinnacle of a Grandmaster, but its success is also due to its innate qi."
"Any kind of protective divine skill will have certain limitations."
"Cheng Shifei's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is limited by his own power, and its defensive power has an upper limit."
"Although Guan Yutian's innate qi has relatively minor problems in these aspects, its defensive power will increase as his martial arts cultivation improves."
"However, the innate qi has a fatal flaw, and it is precisely because of this flaw that Guan Yutian's ranking was affected."
Upon hearing this explanation, Ren Qianxing narrowed his eyes, then immediately feigned a look of horror.
"How could this happen? I didn't mean to!"
“Mr. Li, could you please keep this a secret? I, Ren Qianxing, will never forget your great kindness and virtue.”
Li Chengqian smiled as he watched Ren Qianxing's performance.
There are more scheming and backstabbing in the martial arts world than stars in the sky. Ren Qianxing's little tricks are nothing special; they are merely mediocre.
"Hehehe!"
"Don't worry, Master Ren. I won't say anything like this unless Guan Yutian agrees to it personally."
"However, Master Ren must have come to Li's Ping An Inn for another matter."
"Let's talk about it all now."
Upon hearing this, Ren Qianxing cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Li is indeed a man of great wisdom. I remember that Mr. Li has been to the capital twice."
"The first time I went there, Mr. Li summoned a famous sword from the horizon."
"I don't know this sword's name."
“That’s right, the sword in my hand is the Frost Sword.”
Li Chengqian interrupted Ren Qianxing directly and frankly acknowledged the existence of the Ling Shuang Sword.
852.1042.78 ....
The conversation between the two left everyone completely bewildered.
Just what is the origin of this Frost-Slaying Sword that Guan Yutian would personally send his disciple on such a journey?
Moreover, they seemed to really want this thing, even knowing that it was in Mr. Li's possession.
··Requesting flowers···
Thinking of this, some of the bolder martial artists mustered their courage and asked, "Mr. Li, what is the origin of this Frostbite Sword?"
"Why does Master Ren seem to really want it?"
When asked about the Ling Shuang Sword, Ren Qianxing maintained his posture of bowing and seeking guidance, his face expressionless.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian casually said, "The Ling Shuang Sword is a fine weapon in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
"Besides, the Frost Sword is also related to a secret from more than 500 years ago."
Five hundred years ago, General Ying Shuntian built the King's Chess City at the bottom of Mirror Lake, set up a life-or-death chess game, and invited the Sword Saint of that time to come and fight.
"Although Ying Shuntian tried every means, he ultimately lost to the Sword Saint by one move."
"Therefore, out of resentment, Ying Shuntian made a curse: whoever wins the game of life and death will be able to unify the world."
....0
"The Frost Sword, which was the key to unlocking the game of life and death, has been missing ever since."
"It just so happens that Guan Yutian, the leader of the Supreme Alliance, is preparing to unify the world, so he is searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Frost Sword."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian waved his hand and laughed, "It's just a small matter, nothing serious."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Chengqian with resentment.
“Mr. Li, this is no small matter.”
"If I'm not mistaken, the unification of the world that Guan Yutian mentioned should mean ruling the entire Ming Dynasty."
"Does Emperor Ming know about this?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian became even more casual.
"Of course, the idea of unifying the world in the eyes of ordinary people is limited to the country and dynasty they live in."
"There are plenty of people like this in the underworld. Every now and then, a few of them will pop up. They're nothing special."
"Emperor Ming is too busy with state affairs to have time for such matters!"
"If someone wants to unify the Nine Provinces, then I might admire his ambition."
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, Ren Qianxing's lips twitched.
Originally, it was unified!
Unifying the Ming Dynasty should have been a major undertaking, but why did Mr. Li describe it as a trivial matter?
Compared to this, his master did seem rather inferior.
How about I go back and persuade my master to change his ambition and unify the Nine Provinces?
Guan Yutian: "" factory.
Chapter 352 Young Master Huang Appears at Ping An Inn, Extending the Ming Dynasty's Fortune by Another Hundred Years
Just as everyone was marveling at Mr. Li's astonishing remarks.
A violent coughing sound came from room number nine in the "Heaven" section.
“Mr. Li, I think what you said is a bit wrong. After all, this kind of thing looks like treason no matter how you look at it.”
"The Emperor will most likely take this into consideration."
As the sound was heard, the door to room number nine in the "Heaven" section was opened.
Young Master Huang and the Sunflower Ancestor came out.
Everyone:! ! !
No, what are you doing here?
The sudden appearance of Young Master Huang left everyone bewildered, while Li Chengqian remained calm.
Ping An Inn is his own territory. How could he not know if any important people are coming?
Upon seeing Young Master Huang appear, Li Chengqian cupped his hands and smiled, "So it's Young Master Huang!"
"What brings you here to visit my Ping An Inn today?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the women in my family have been causing a bit of trouble lately, so I came out to get some peace and quiet."
"I really don't understand. It's just a little money, but they treat it like it's going to kill them."
Faced with Young Master Huang's nonchalant attitude, everyone's lips twitched.
Small money?
Don't think we don't know.
Those imperial relatives and nobles in the capital were almost driven to suicide, with the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot loitering around their doorsteps all day long.
The money the kids used to buy candied hawthorns was stolen to pay off their debts, and you still have the nerve to say that?
Faced with Huang Gongzi's shameless attitude, Li Chengqian's lips curled into a smile.
“Young Master Huang, I also know some things about what’s happening in the capital.”
"Aren't you pushing me a little too far?"
Is it ruthless?
"After meeting Mr. Li, Mr. Huang suddenly realized something."
"All people are born equal, so there is no distinction between high and low, noble and base."
"Ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person's living expenses for a year."
