Chapter 446

PS: Everyone, Happy New Year, wish you all the best!

I've been busy for the past two weeks, so I didn't update much, so I don't dare to ask for monthly votes. From today onwards, I'll be updating twice a day, so I hope everyone will support me.

I've written a chapter in the middle of the night, and I'll be sending it out at night. Please vote ~ Thank you!

Even though Zhang Xiaohua's sword looked ordinary, and even Nie Qianyu herself felt that she could pick it up, based on Nie Qianyu's understanding of Zhang Xiaohua, she knew that she wasn't someone who would suffer losses, so why would she come up with such a simple question?Thus, Nie Qianyu nodded her head, half-believing and half-doubting.Seeing that Nie Qianyu had also agreed, Lu Meng no longer had any scruples. He walked forward, bent down, and used his hand to grab the hilt of the sword. Smiling, he said: "Brother-in-law, don't go back on your words. Senior brother will now let you see the charm of the second strongest man of the Crafting School … Aiyo …"Following which, he couldn't finish his sentence."This?"Lu Meng looked at the ugly sword embryo lying on the ground in astonishment and muttered, "Impossible."Looking at the smiling Zhang Xiaohua and the equally astonished Nie Qianyu, at this moment, he finally believed that this harmless young soldier wasn't joking with him.Lu Meng solemnly held the sword hilt with his hand again. Using all his strength, he could only move it slightly. Then, he stood up again and spat on his palms. Rubbing his hands together, he bent down again and clasped his hands together. Only when his grip was firm did he shout, "Up!"Following Lu Meng's movements, the sword was slowly lifted up by him."Eh?" Zhang Xiaohua was also surprised and secretly thought, "This boor's strength is really not small. Luckily, I didn't dare to be careless and only asked him to lift the sword. If he could lift it up, I would have lost."Although Lu Meng lifted the sword, the tip of the sword was still on the ground. After lifting the sword hilt to a certain height, Lu Meng's face turned red. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer and let go of the sword. The sword fell to the ground with a loud crash, causing the ground to shake.Nie Qianyu, who was watching from the side, was shocked. It looked like an ordinary longsword. Anyone would take a look at it, and they would definitely take a look at it. However, other than the first strange glance, no one would take a second look at it. It was the same for her. Moreover, the longsword had been on Zhang Xiaohua's back all the way. Even if Zhang Xiaohua used the longsword to defend herself, she would do so easily. She had always thought that the longsword was just an ordinary sword embryo that had not been successfully refined. She had never thought about its weight.The weight of this sword was actually so heavy!Suddenly, Nie Qianyu realized why Zhang Xiaohua didn't bring the sword to the arena!At this moment, Lu Meng rubbed his hands and stood aside awkwardly. His face was still red, and he looked at Zhang Xiaohua with some admiration. He was still somewhat unconvinced and asked, "That, little brother-in-law, why don't you try lifting this sword? Why can't I believe it?How can you lift such a heavy thing with your small body? "Nie Qianyu was amused and said, "Senior Brother Lu, don't embarrass yourself. Big Brother Ren brought this sword here, so he must be able to lift it. Just use your brain to think. Besides, I saw it with my own eyes."Lu Meng scratched his head and said, "Little Junior Sister, I just wanted to see it with my own eyes."Zhang Xiaohua didn't answer. She walked forward, grabbed the sword with her left hand, and waved it in front of Lu Meng. A gust of wind blew, causing Lu Meng to take a few steps back."How is it?"Zhang Xiaohua looked at Lu Meng with a smile, but from the corner of her eyes, she looked at the booklet on the table.Lu Meng said dejectedly, "Little brother-in-law is really brave. Such a heavy weapon, even if I use my internal energy, I won't be able to lift it. I lost."After saying that, he walked to the table, picked up the booklet, and handed it to Zhang Xiaohua with some hesitation. He said, "I'll leave this booklet with you first. When I come back, I'll exchange it with gold and silver. Oh right, how much silver do you want?""Anything is fine, just three to five hundred taels will do."At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua didn't care about the scattered silver in her eyes, so she asked for a round number.The corner of Lu Meng's eyes twitched. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred taels it is.However, this booklet is the unique study of our Weapon Refining Sect, so you can't peek at it. "Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Of course, didn't I just say that I won't use my eyes to look at it?"After saying that, she was about to take the booklet.Nie Qianyu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly laughed and said, "Big brother Ren, don't tease senior brother Lu anymore."Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, and Lu Meng was stunned.Lu Meng hurriedly retracted his hand. Zhang Xiaohua looked at the booklet and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.Lu Meng opened his eyes wide and asked, "Little junior sister, what are you talking about?"Nie Qianyu smiled and said, "Senior brother Lu, do you think that since big brother Ren only took your booklet and didn't read it, he won't be able to see the contents and you won't be punished by the sect?You're relieved? "Lu Meng nodded his head vigorously.Nie Qianyu said again, "But, what if big brother Ren let me read it for him and then let me read it to him?Wouldn't he be able to know the refining method of your Weapon Refining Sect without using his eyes? ""This …" Lu Meng suddenly understood. He stared straight at Zhang Xiaohua and asked, "Brother-in-law, is that what you plan to do?"Zhang Xiaohua had an innocent look on her face and spread out her hands. "I can only say that Little Fishy Nie is gauging the heart of a gentleman with her own mean measure. I swear to the heavens that I don't have such a plan at all."Seeing Zhang Xiaohua swear, Lu Meng's expression softened. However, his hands were still hesitant and didn't want to hand the booklet over.Nie Qianyu looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Big brother Ren, don't be angry with senior brother Lu anymore. He came to compete with you in terms of physical strength only because … because he wanted to let you know the strength of his family, so that you …"Towards the end, her voice was almost like a mosquito's and her face was burning red.Finally, she forced herself to say, "If you keep this booklet, even if you don't read it, senior brother Lu will definitely be punished by the sect. I think you should be magnanimous and let him off this time."Zhang Xiaohua wanted to cry in her heart. "Little Fishy Nie, where exactly are you siding with!!!"However, she could only say, "Hehe, hehe, Miss Nie indeed knows what I'm thinking. That's right, I want to punish you for listening to someone else's words and finding trouble with me. If I didn't let you know how powerful I am, I reckon there will be more people coming tomorrow.""H-how did you know …"Lu Meng pointed at Zhang Xiaohua in astonishment.Zhang Xiaohua smiled at Nie Qianyu and said, "How can someone who can talk with Miss Nie not be smart?""Pei!" Nie Qianyu couldn't help but spit.Seeing this, Lu Meng hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "Then I'll apologize to Brother-in-law. If it weren't for Brother-in-law's bravery, I would have made a big mistake."However, as he spoke, his hands and feet moved quickly. He immediately put the booklet into his arms. Zhang Xiaohua's gaze was somewhat reluctant to part with it.Looking at the mess left on the table, Lu Meng grabbed a few jade pendants and stuffed them into Zhang Xiaohua's pocket. He said, "No matter what, Brother-in-law has won against me. You must take this prize. These jade pendants are worthless. Take them as collateral."How could Zhang Xiaohua accept them?She said righteously, "Senior brother Lu, you've underestimated me. It was just a joke. Why take it so seriously?"After saying that, she wanted to push the jade pendants back. However, as soon as she touched them, she felt the warmth in them. She couldn't help but scan them with her divine sense. Oh my, there was a faint fluctuation of primordial qi. Her pushing hand involuntarily stopped.Lu Meng heard that she wanted to refuse and moved away again. He then said, "Just take them. Although they are worthless, they are still Old Lu's face. Tomorrow, I'll exchange them with the five hundred taels of silver!""Exchange???" Zhang Xiaohua secretly laughed, "How can you exchange them back?"She quickly said even more righteously, "Senior brother Lu's words, why are they so unreliable?I've already said that it was just a misunderstanding. If I were to say that they were vulgar gold and silver, wouldn't it seem that I don't know how to conduct myself?How about this, since Senior brother Lu's face is here, I won't let him down. Anyway, these jade pendants are worthless. Since Senior brother Lu doesn't care, I'll take them as my prize. "After he finished speaking, he resolutely put the jade pendants into his bosom with a determined look on his face.Lu Meng was touched. He shook Zhang Xiaohua's arm and said, "Don't, Brother-in-law. We'll be honest. How can these worthless jade pendants be used as a prize?Don't worry, Brother-in-law. I'll definitely bring you the money tomorrow! "Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's face changed immediately. She said, "Senior brother Lu, you don't treat me as your own. If you're like this, I don't want these jade pendants. I'll just take it that Senior brother Lu didn't come tonight.""Ah, how can I accept this?"Lu Meng was anxious and said, "Just as Brother-in-law said, these jade pendants are just a prize. Alas, I didn't expect Brother-in-law to have such noble character and unquestionable integrity. I'm so ashamed."Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua was very happy. She said with a smile, "A long journey tests a horse's strength, and a long time reveals a person's heart. Senior brother Lu, you'll know my character when we get to know each other. By the way, Senior brother Lu, you won't let me leave tomorrow, right?"Lu Meng said awkwardly, "I won't, I won't. Brother-in-law, you are going to stay here for the rest of your life. I just want to congratulate you. I won't say 'no' again.""You …" This time, Nie Qianyu couldn't accept it.Lu Meng knew that he had said something wrong, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Brother-in-law for having such a day every year. I'll take my leave now."This time, Zhang Xiaohua's face couldn't hold back anymore.Looking at the back of Lu Meng hurriedly leaving, she could only shake her head again and again.The small hall, which had been noisy for a while, became quiet again. Everyone was congratulating Lu Meng for the last time.Zhang Xiaohua saw that Nie Qianyu lowered her head shyly and didn't say anything. She released her Divine Sense. As expected, when Qiang Sheng saw Lu Meng go out, he immediately came up to him. Although she couldn't hear anything, she knew that Lu Meng was angry. He pointed at Qiang Sheng and said something unpleasant.Zhang Xiaohua smiled when he saw Lu Meng swaggering off and Qiang Sheng stomping his feet and chasing after him.At this time, Nie Qianyu said in a low voice, "Brother Ren, are you still angry because of what I said?"(Please vote for me!!Please add, please tip, thank you.)
