Chapter 474

By the time Zhang Xiaohua arrived at the courtyard under Nie Qianyu's guidance, a sumptuous feast was already placed on the main table and the two sides of the table. The leaders of the Jade Foundation Alliance were already seated.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua and Nie Qianyu, everyone stood up and came forward to greet them.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't be bothered to follow Nie Qianyu's small steps forward. She quickened her pace and bowed, "Seniors, my apologies, my apologies. I've made you wait for so long. I've learned a thing or two from Lady Nie just now. I'm late, I'm late."

Si Yakong and the others didn't treat Zhang Xiaohua as a junior and returned the greeting, "This old man is Si Yakong of Weapon Forging Sect. Ren Shaoxia, you're too humble. You've lent a helping hand at the sight of injustice and saved Rejuvenation Valley. We're all grateful, but we were afraid that our enemies wouldn't let this matter rest and would cause trouble to us. That's why we haven't come to thank you, Shaoxia. Now that we've met, the first thing I'd like to say to you is thanks."

Zhang Xiaohua now knew the relationships between the various sects in the Jade Foundation Alliance and didn't feel that Si Yakong was interfering with Rejuvenation Valley's affairs. She smiled, "Valley Lord Nie has already thanked me countless times and even let me see the pill formula. I've already recouped my costs. You don't have to say that. Besides, I don't even dare to listen to Lady Nie talk about pills anymore."

Hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Si Yakong was taken aback. He then laughed heartily, "Ren Shaoxia is indeed a straightforward person. Come, let me introduce you to Shaoxia."

With that, he introduced everyone. Zhang Xiaohua bowed and said, "I've heard so much about you."

As for how much she had heard, only he knew.

When she saw the short Tong Ba, Zhang Xiaohua was surprised. Looking at this skinny person, how could he be the strongest person in the Jade Foundation Alliance?

Tong Ba smiled and cupped his hands, "Ren Shaoxia, I've long heard Lu Meng praising you to the heavens. Now that I've seen you, you're indeed extraordinary. Later on, I'll have to ask Shaoxia to teach me a lot. Let me see Shaoxia's divine power."

As he spoke, he looked around Zhang Xiaohua with disappointment in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment before she understood. She smiled and said, "I've also heard that Senior Brother Tong is the number one divine power in our alliance. That's exactly what I want to see."

Seeing this, Valley Master Nie laughed and said, "Alright, you two heroes cherish each other. Let's have a good chat later. For now, please take a seat."

When everyone heard this, they all returned to their seats. Zhang Xiaohua also sat next to Valley Head Nie's table.

Valley Head Nie looked at Zhang Xiaohua next to him and said, "Nephew Ren, you've been to Rejuvenation Valley for several months and have visited most of the places in the valley. You've never been to this training ground, right?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's right. Uncle Nie's place is so rich in medicinal herbs and pill recipes that I've even forgotten to return. How could I have the energy to wander around?"

Valley Head Nie shook his head and said, "In the pugilistic world, martial arts is still the most important thing. Pills and the like are only supplementary. You can't neglect the essentials and focus on trifles."

Zhang Xiaohua knew that these were heartfelt words and nodded with a smile.

Not long after, the banquet began. Everyone raised their cups and chatted and laughed. Ma Fuhu and Zuo Siqing, the two younger ones, even came over from time to time to drink a few sips with Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't really like drinking. However, this Hundred Flower Wine from Rejuvenation Valley was indeed delicious and the alcohol taste wasn't too strong. Furthermore, Nie Qianyu had traveled with Zhang Xiaohua all the way here and the attentive girl already knew Zhang Xiaohua's taste. She especially instructed her disciple to pour a particularly light wine for Zhang Xiaohua. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua gladly raised her cup.

The most amazing thing was that these people only talked about romance and interesting things in the pugilistic world. They didn't ask about Zhang Xiaohua's situation in Beidou school, nor did they ask about the reason why he went to spread the Incense religion. This made Zhang Xiaohua's impression of the Yuli Alliance improve.

After more than three rounds of wine, there were only five dishes. Si Yakong cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, the competition in our alliance was just held last year. It hasn't been this lively for a long time. Furthermore, it was also at this training ground in Rejuvenation Valley that our Weapon Forging Sect disciple, Tong Ba, obtained the title of number one in divine strength in the Yuli Alliance. Oh, this title …"

At this point, he turned to ask Zhen Xuan, "Fourth Master Zhen, how many years has our Weapon Forging Sect held this title?"

Zhen Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Boss Si, how would I know? This is the reputation of your Weapon Forging Sect. If you don't remember it yourself, why do you want us to remember it for you?"

With that, he angrily drank a cup of wine.

Si Yakong smiled and looked around at the crowd. "This disciple of mine has always been very competitive. When he heard that there was someone stronger than him, he kept looking for me, wanting to compete with Ren Shaoxia in terms of physical strength."

"Of course, our Weapon Forging Sect has always made a living by forging weapons. To put it bluntly, we are blacksmiths. In terms of martial arts, he definitely can't beat Ren Shaoxia. Needless to say, but in terms of physical strength, I think that Tong Ba might be able to compete with Ren Shaoxia, so I nodded in agreement."

"Also, I heard that Ren Shaoxia is interested in weapon forging, so I took out one of our sect's secret weapon forging manuals as the prize for this competition. If Ren Shaoxia can win against my disciple, this manual will be given to Ren Shaoxia. Also, if Ren Shaoxia has any questions while reading it, you can ask our Weapon Forging Sect. I guarantee that we will answer all your questions."

Tong Ba had already said this yesterday, and Zhang Xiaohua had also heard it from Nie Qianyu. But today, Si Yakong said it again as the head of Weapon Forging Sect. This kind of sincerity made Zhang Xiaohua feel a little strange. That's right, she wasn't touched, but a little strange. There seemed to be a little …

As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

What was the purpose behind this secret weapon forging manual?

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but secretly pinch her chin and think to herself.

However, when he saw Valley Master Nie's somewhat astonished expression, he thought in his heart: "Even Valley Master Nie doesn't know. How mysterious. However, all of my things are in my money pouch and I'm not afraid of you thinking about it. Let's see what you have in store."

At this time, she heard Si Yakong say, "However, this competition was proposed by our Weapon Forging Sect. We didn't ask for Ren Shaoxia's permission in advance, so Ren Shaoxia doesn't need to prepare any prizes. He just needs to participate in the competition."

When Valley Master Nie heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after trying a few times, he didn't know what to say. He looked at Zhang Xiaohua and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua came out from behind the table and said with a smile, "Since Sect Master Si is so generous, I won't stand on ceremony. To be honest, I don't have anything valuable on me and I don't have anything to use as a stake. Sect Master Si's arrangement is very suitable."

When Nie Qianyu heard this, she lowered her head and laughed secretly.

When Tong Ba saw Zhang Xiaohua walking down the stage, he also jumped out and cupped his hands, "Then I'll have to ask Ren Shaoxia to give me some pointers."

Zhang Xiaohua returned the greeting, "Likewise.

Senior Brother Tong, please show mercy. "

Following which, he asked, "I wonder how the competition in our alliance is to test our strength?"

Tong Ba smiled and said, "Firstly, it's to see who can lift more stone weights. Secondly, it's to see who can pull who with the rope. However, I heard that Junior Brother Lu had a new competition method with you. Why don't we use your long sword?"

Zhang Xiaohua pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, but I don't have my long sword with me. Senior Brother Tong, please wait a moment. I'll go get it."

Tong Ba smiled, "Let the disciples go get it. Ren Shaoxia still needs to drink a few more cups."

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "I'll go by myself. I'll drink later."

Seeing that Nie Qianyu was about to get up, Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and signaled for her to go. Then, she turned and left.

When she left the courtyard and came to a dark place, she turned around and burrowed into the ground. She came to the attic in the peach forest and took the long sword. Then, she returned to the door with the long sword and came in with a smile.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua had returned, Ying Zhezhu laughed heartily and said, "Nephew Ren is really able to keep his composure. When I saw that he didn't say anything a moment ago, I thought that he didn't want to compete with Martial Nephew Tong. But now that I see that he left in a hurry and came back in a hurry, I realize that he also has a competitive spirit in his heart."

Zuo Siqing nodded, "Yes, young people should be like this."

Only Valley Master Nie and Nie Qianyu were shocked. They knew where the long sword was and how far the attic was from here!

Seeing that the long sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand emitted a dark luster under the bright lights of the Martial Arts Practice Field, not only Tong Ba, but also Si Yakong and Zhen Xuan had a fanatical look in their eyes.

Zhang Xiaohua saw this and couldn't help but think, "Oh, I forgot that the Weapon Forging Sect and the Weapon Forging Sect make a living by refining weapons. They must have seen countless materials in the world. My long sword is so heavy that it must have attracted their attention. Of course, Lu Meng may have neglected it, but when he tells the master of the Weapon Forging Sect, he will … Ah, careless, careless!"

However, since things had come to this, there was nothing to regret. He also wanted to know what the long sword was.

Sure enough, Tong Ba looked back at Si Yakong and walked to Zhang Xiaohua, "Is this the long sword that made Junior Brother Lu Meng lose?

I think Ren Shaoxia can hold it easily. Why don't you let me try lifting it? "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and handed the long sword to Tong Ba, "Of course, if Senior Brother Tong can raise both hands above your head, I will lose this round. What do you think?"

Her words were very generous and also looked down on others. However, with Lu Meng as an example, Tong Ba didn't dare to look down on her and only nodded, "Let's do as Ren Shaoxia says."

After saying that, he stretched out both hands to take the long sword. Zhang Xiaohua saw that he had already gathered his strength and reminded him, "Be careful, Senior Brother Tong, I'm going to let go."

Tong Ba held his breath and didn't dare to speak. He nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua let go of her hand and the long sword fell into Tong Ba's hands.

At this moment, the entire arena was silent. Only the crackling sound of the torches could be heard. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the small longsword fell straight to the ground as soon as it fell into Tong Ba's hands. Tong Ba's face was already flushed red, but he still couldn't stop it. Seeing that his hands and feet were about to be smashed, Tong Ba quickly let go and jumped to the side. With a muffled sound, it was as if the entire arena shook, and the longsword fell to the ground.
