Chapter 496
When Valley Master Nie saw this, he looked around and said in a low voice, "I remember when Brother Yang came here ten years ago, you seemed to have said that you liked divine weapons very much."
Manager Yang was stunned and then his eyes lit up, "Brother Nie has a good memory. That year it was just a drunken nonsense but you still remember it clearly."
Valley Master Nie smiled and took out a short sword from his chest. It was about three inches long and had a simple scabbard with green spots. He handed it in front of Manager Yang and said, "Brother Yang, can you help me appraise it?"
Manager Yang's eyes had never left the scabbard since the short sword appeared. Seeing Valley Master Nie hand it over, he didn't hesitate and reached out to take it. First, he carefully looked at its appearance. Then, he held the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other. His hands slightly exerted force and with a light sound, the bright short sword was pulled out of the scabbard. It was like a flash of lightning on the ground. Manager Yang's eyes first squinted and then widened. After looking at it for a while, two words came out of his mouth, "Good sword!"
Then he reluctantly handed it to Valley Master Nie and said, "Brother Nie, where did you get this sword?
What's its name? "
Valley Master Nie didn't take the sword and only smiled, "This sword was accidentally found by Weapon Forging Sect's Boss Si in the ruins of their sect. It doesn't have a name."
"How rare. There's actually such a sharp nameless short sword in this world. It's comparable to the four famous swords of Jianghu.
Unfortunately … "
"Unfortunately what?" Valley Master Nie said, "Unfortunately you can't play with it for a long time?"
"Tsk tsk," Manager Yang smacked his lips but didn't admit it.
Valley Master Nie used his hand to push the dagger back to Manager Yang and said: "Ever since I heard you say that you like divine weapons, I've been paying attention to it. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to do so until last year when I heard that Boss Si had obtained this nameless dagger. I immediately thought of little brother, so I specially went to Weapon Forging Sect to ask Boss Si for it. I want to give it to little brother today, so you don't have to be polite."
"This …" Manager Yang was a little unnatural. He handed the dagger back and said, "As the saying goes, 'One should not accept a reward for nothing'. Although we brothers have a good relationship, it is really not good for a brother to accept such a valuable item."
Valley Master Nie said with a straight face, "Little Brother Yang is really treating me as an outsider. I just said that you are half the master of Rejuvenation Valley. Let's not even talk about the nameless sword, even if it is one of the Four Great Swords, it can't compare to our friendship. You can rest assured and accept it."
Seeing Valley Head Nie's angry expression, manager Yang went with the flow and said: "Since Brother Nie says so, then as a brother, I won't hold back. However, Brother Nie, don't treat me as an outsider. If there's anything that's troubling you, just tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."
Valley Master Nie had given away this precious short sword just for this sentence. Now that he heard it, how could he not be happy?
He only said: "This matter is difficult, but it is also not difficult. It depends on whether Little Brother Yang is willing to do it or not. Of course, if Little Brother Yang feels that it is not appropriate, just tell this old man. As a brother, I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Finishing speaking, he walked to the entrance of Rejuvenation Hall and waved his hand. Not long after, nine eleven or twelve year old boys walked in a row from outside the hall. They all had red lips and white teeth and had a dignified appearance.
The nine boys entered the door and lined up in a row, bowing together.
Looking at the nine boys, manager Yang had a puzzled expression. He looked at Valley Head Nie who was walking back and said in a low voice: "What is it?
Little Brother Nie, are there few people this year?
There are only nine of them. Is this what's troubling you, Brother? "
Valley Head Nie shook his head: "Little Brother Yang, take a closer look. What do you think of these nine boys?"
"Alright."
Since this was official business of the Cult of Incense, manager Yang didn't dare to be careless. He first walked closer and carefully looked at them one by one. He even reached out to pinch their bones and nodded frequently.
Then, he asked about the knowledge of medicinal herbs and alchemy one by one. The nine boys all answered fluently without any awkwardness.
After the inspection, Valley Head Nie waved his hand and dismissed the nine boys.
Manager Yang then smiled: "Little Brother Nie, I really envy your Rejuvenation Valley. Every time you have such talented boys, no wonder my Cult of Incense had to look for boys from your place."
Valley Head Nie said: "Are you satisfied with these nine boys?"
"Yes, I am very satisfied.
Little Brother Nie, if this is your problem, I can answer you. I can definitely help you with this. "
Valley Head Nie smiled bitterly: "Boss Yang is considerate. This old man thanks you. However, the matter is not that simple. Listen to me first."
Then, he invited manager Yang to drink a mouthful of tea and said: "Little Brother Yang just mentioned the difficulties my Rejuvenation Valley encountered last year. I presume you already know the reason."
"That's right," Manager Yang said with a smile. "Although my Fragrant School doesn't pay much attention to worldly affairs, we're still somewhat aware of the matter concerning Rejuvenation Valley. However, the mastermind behind this is truly well hidden. Even the people in Carefree City haven't been able to find any clues. Of course, if Old Brother Nie is interested, I can return to the Fragrant School and report to the Hallmaster. Perhaps he'll have a better method to uncover the enemy."
Valley Head Nie shook his head and said: "Since it is the enemy, they will eventually show themselves. There is no need to disturb the Hallmaster's meditation over such a small matter."
Manager Yang also nodded and praised: "Little Brother Nie is very scheming. The martial arts competition for a spouse is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. First, it draws the attention of all the forces in Jianghu to Rejuvenation Valley so that the enemy won't dare to make a move against Rejuvenation Valley openly. Second, it has also found a good husband for Little Yu. As a younger brother, I have no choice but to admire you."
At this point, Manager Yang suddenly thought: "That's right, why hasn't Little Yu come?
No matter what, I have watched this girl grow up. Every time she comes, she calls me 'uncle' and is very enthusiastic. How come I don't see her this time?
I, as her uncle, have already come to the inner hall. Why hasn't she come to pay her respects? "
"Ai ~" Valley Head Nie sighed deeply and said: "Little Yu is happy to know that you are coming. However, I said that this difficult matter is related to her. It won't be too late to have her come to pay her respects after this old man has explained the matter clearly."
"Eh?"
Manager Yang was even more surprised: "Several months have passed since the martial arts competition for a spouse. Our Little Yu also … Oh, that's not right. I heard from our spies that Little Yu's husband seems to be quite young and hasn't married yet. That must be it. I haven't heard the news of Rejuvenation Valley holding a wedding."
"However, what matter is there that requires me to take action?"
Manager Yang was a bit confused.
Valley Head Nie muttered to himself for a moment and then said the words that he had agreed on with Yue Yan and Zhang Xiaohua.
After listening to Valley Head Nie's words, although Manager Yang's expression didn't change, his eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Old Brother Nie, we have been friends for decades and you have never asked me for anything. To be honest, how would I dare to agree to your request?
You also know why my School of Fragrance has been looking for people from you for so many years.
First, it is because your Rejuvenation Valley's medicine boys have good qualifications. They are hardworking and can easily be used. It saves time and effort compared to us looking for them ourselves. Second, your Rejuvenation Valley knows everything about you and the people you send are trustworthy. Your son-in-law is still an outsider. He only used the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn on the arena to win the competition. This only proves that his martial arts are good, but it doesn't prove that he is a stable and reliable person. "
Valley Head Nie's expression didn't change as if he had already expected this. He smiled apologetically and said: "Old Brother Yang, you are right. Reliable and trustworthy are the only criteria for us to choose medicine boys. I understand this very well. So when I wanted to recommend Xiao Yao to your sect, my Rejuvenation Valley had already investigated his background clearly. Xiao Yao came from Beidou school, far in the north …"
Hearing this, Manager Yang frowned: "Beidou school?
How come I have never heard of it? "
However, he immediately smiled and said: "There are too many small sects in the Jianghu. You kill me and I destroy you. Who knows how many sects are born and destroyed every day."
Valley Head Nie nodded and said: "I have indeed never heard of this Beidou school. However, although this Ren Xiaoyao is still young, he is indeed a good and chivalrous child."
Manager Yang was stunned again: "How do you explain this?"
Thus, Valley Head Nie explained the matter of Zhang Xiaohua escorting Nie Qianyu back in full detail.
When Manager Yang heard this, his face was filled with joy and he said with a smile: "I was wondering why old brother was so assured to let an outsider become your son-in-law so easily. So there is this layer of responsibility involved. If what you said is true, Ren Xiaoyao escorting Xiao Yu back to the valley for thousands of miles, this righteousness and this kindness is indeed not easy."
Then, he laughed coldly, "Even if the Big Dipper Sect is a nameless sect, as long as my Fragrant Cult pays attention to them, it won't be a problem. As long as they leave their names in my Fragrant Cult, when they return to Jiang Hu, their Big Dipper Sect will also become famous!"
When Valley Head Nie heard this, his heart was filled with joy: "I knew old brother would understand my thoughts. If it is not a person who can be trusted, how would I dare to casually invite him to marry into my family?
And then casually recommend him to your sect? "
Manager Yang was not in a hurry to agree and said: "Where is Xiao Yu?
Let Xiao Yu come over. I have not seen this niece for a long time. "
Valley Head Nie smiled: "Xiao Yu is already waiting at the door. Wait here."
When he finished speaking, he walked to the door and replaced Nie Qianyu, who had been waiting at the door, with Huichun Hall.
When Nie Qianyu saw the smile on her father's face, she knew that the matter was settled. She was half happy and half worried. She forced a smile on her face and quickly walked to the front of the hall to pay her respects.
When Manager Yang saw Nie Qianyu walk into the hall, he was obviously stunned. It was only when Nie Qianyu paid her respects that he woke up from a dream. He quickly got up and helped her up. He looked at her from head to toe and sighed: "Xiao Yu, your father told me about your situation a few years ago. It is my fault as your uncle that I did not take it to heart. I only thought that your father was overly worried and overly concerned about his children. Now it seems that it is true. This year, you …"
Manager Yang frowned and started counting. Nie Qianyu smiled: "Uncle Yang, I am already sixteen years old this year."
Manager Yang slapped his forehead and said: "Of course, you are already a sixteen year old lady."
Then, he looked regretfully at Nie Qianyu's body that was still developing and said: "But compared to a few years ago, there is not much change."
