Do You Dare To Take It?

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Zhou Shu complained that someone had picked up Yin Wuyou and not Sun Gongping, when he returned to Changan, he was the only one left in the carriage.

On the way from You Prefecture to Chang’ an, people from the Marquis Weiyuan residence received the news and took Sun Gongping away.

The carriage of the Marquis Weiyuan residence was much more luxurious and faster than his temporary carriage!

The two wounded were taken away. Zhou Shu was not in a hurry to return to the capital. He drove the carriage and took his time.

He also discovered that many people were secretly following him.

But he didn’t sense any malicious intent. These people should be divine constables sent by the Divine Constable Bureau to protect him.

After all, something had just happened to him. If something happened again, the Divine Constable Bureau wouldn’t be able to explain it.

“Lord

Just as Zhou Shu arrived at the city gate of Chang’an, a group of people stopped him.

“Eunuch Zhao? Zhou Shu was a little surprised. “Why are you here?

He had met Eunuch Zhao a couple of times. Both times, Eunuch Zhao had read imperial edicts to him.

He had heard Sun Gongping say that Eunuch Zhao was the top eunuch in the palace and the emperor’s trusted aide.

Such a powerful figure was standing at the city gate?

“I am specially waiting for you here.” Eunuch Zhao chuckled. He looked at Zhou Shu slightly strangely. “Lord, His Majesty has summoned you. Please.”

“Now? Zhou Shu looked at himself.

He was already prepared for Emperor Yuan Feng wanting to see him. After all, it would be strange if Emperor Yuan Feng didn’t want to see him after everything that happened.

But he didn’t expect Emperor Yuan Feng to be so anxious. He had not even entered the city, yet he had already summoned him.

“Eunuch Zhao, look at me now. It’s not appropriate for me to meet His Majesty.

Why don’t I go back and freshen up first? Zhou shu said.

His clothes were in tatters now. Although he didn’t really stink, he hadn’t showered for a few days. He had also been through a series of battles, and his face was covered in dirt. It was really unsightly.

“It’s fine: Eunuch Zhao smiled. “We can’t keep His Majesty waiting

“Lord, please.” Eunuch Zhao gestured again.

Seeing himlike this, Zhou Shu no longer refused.

He followed Eunuch Zhao all the way to the palace

This was Zhou Shu’s first time entering the palace. Along thhe way, he looked around curiously.

Not to mention, the imperial palace of Grand Xia wasn’t inferior to the Forbidden City in his previous life. In fact, it was even more magnificent.

After all, high martial arts existed in this world. In some aspects, the history of this world couldn’t compare to his previous world. But in some other aspects, this world was much grander.

Zhou Shu graded the imperial palace as he entered the imperial study.

“Zhou Shu greets Your Majesty.” Zhou Shu cupped his hands and bowed.

There was no etiquette to kneel in this world. There was no need to kneel when meeting the emperor.

“No need for formalities.” A magnetic voice rang out.

For some reason, Zhou Shu felt that this voice was somewhat cold. Is the emperor in a bad mood?

Zhou Shu thanked him and looked up.

A handsome middle-aged man was sitting not far away from him. He was looking at him expressionlessly.

Looking at his dragon robe, he should be the current emperor of Great Xia, Emperor Yuan Feng.

There was a chair beside him. Yin Changhao, whom he had seen before, was sitting there, examining him.

Zhou Shu was a little puzzled. Why are these two looking at me so critically?

Why are you looking at me like that? Are you trying to pick on me?

Then he heard Emperor Yuan Feng say, “Zhou Shu, let me ask you. Who abducted you? How did you escape?

Zhou Shu had told Yang Hong and the others about this matter. He didn’t believe that Emperor Yuan Feng hadn’t received a report.

But Zhou Shu still said, “Your Majesty, I do not know who abducted me.

“That night, I was sleeping in my residence. WhenI woke up, I found myself in the wildermess.

“Then I was saved by a senior who called himself Nameless. From the beginning to the end, I did not know who the person who abducted me was.”

Zhou Shu imitated the way people spoke to emperors in TV dramas in his reply.

Emperor Yuan Feng had already heard of this story. Zhou Shu’s explanation was similar, and there weren’t too many differences.

Of course, there was no information of any value.

“After you were rescued, you went to You Prefecture? Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression darkened. He paused for a moment and then continued, “What did you see in You Prefecture? And where did you find the princess?

It was a good thing that his daughter was saved, but the person who had saved her was this brat!

His daughter had always been concerned about this kid. She kept giving him all the good things. Now, he even saved her life.

Emperor Yuan Feng couldn’t help snorting coldly.

When Zhou Shu heard Emperor Yuan Feng’s cold snort, he was a bit puzzled.

But he still said, “I met Senior Nameless in You prefecture again.

“I saw Senior Nameless fight with someone.”

A vivid panic appeared on Zhou Shu’s face. “No, it might not be a human. I didn’t see Senior Nameless’s opponent. I only saw him attack”

Emperor Yuan Feng and Yin Changhao looked at each other.

The Senior Namelessr that Zhou Shu spoke of should be that nameless expert.

From the looks of it, the nameless expert might be stronger than they had imagined.

Was he the one who settled the matter in the two prefectures?

“Zhou Shu, did that Senior Nameless you spoke of use a heavy sword? Yin Changhao’s gaze suddenly fell on Zhou Shu’s back, and his pupils suddenly contracted. “The sword on your back is?”

“Oh.” Zhou Shu seemed to come to a sudden realization. He pulled out the sword from his back and placed it in front of him. From the looks of it, the sword should be very heavy. It was a little difficult for him to hold it.

“This is the Great Destroyer Sword. Senior Nameless left it for me,” Zhou Shu said.

It was also because his cultivation level on the surface was too low, or because Emperor Yuan Feng and Yin Changhao, two first-rank experts, were present.

Therefore, when he entered the palace, he was not asked to remove the Great Destroyer Sword.

“Great Destroyer?” Emperor Yuan and Yin Changhao’s expressions changed at the same time.

A yellow-grade weapon shouldn’t have surprised them so much.

But the Great Destroyer Sword was no ordinary yellow -grade weapon.

The nameless expert had used it to chop off Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi’s right arm!

This was a yellow -grade weapon that could cut apart a first-rank martial artist!

As expected, the Nameless who had saved Zhou Shu was the owner of the Great Destroyer Sword, the nameless expert recorded in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!

Zhou Shu smiled when he saw the expressions of Emperor Yuan Feng and Vin Changhao.

This was the result he wanted.

The reason he brought the Great Destroyer Sword back openly was to tell a story.

As for whether others believed this story or not, it was fine as long as others thought he believed himself.

“Then. Nameless, who is it?” Yin Changhao asked.

“Senior Nameless is nameless.” Zhou Shu looked at Yin Changhao with an expression that said, Are you stupid? Didn’t I tell you that his name is Nameless?

Yin Changhao didn’t mind Zhou Shu’s offense. He said in a low voice, “Im asking you, where is he from?”

That I don’t know. I only heard him say..” Zhou Shu clasped his hands behind his back, turned around, and faced Emperor Yuan Feng and Yin Changhao. He said in a deep voice, “Having roamed the world for more than thirty years, I have killed all my foes and defeated all champions. Under Heaven no one can be my equal. Without any other choice, I could only retreat and live in seclusion in this deep valley, with only a Condor as my companion. Alas, all my life, I have sought a match but in vain. Unbearable loneliness is my destiny.”

A lonely figure appeared in the minds of Emperor Yuan Feng and Yin Changhao.

No one could be his match in this world. Just how high was this Nameless’s cultivation?

Why had they never heard of such an expert?

“Your Majesty, that was what Senior Nameless said back then.” Zhou Shu had already turned around. Seeing their shocked expressions, he was secretly pleased with himself. How is it? Are you stunned?

“Can I take a look at this Great Destroyer Sword? Yin Changhao suddenly said.

“Sure,” Zhou Shu said, “Be careful. This sword is very heavy.”

Yin Changhao sneered. Do you think Im like you?

Iam a first-rank expert!

He took two steps forward and reached out to take the Great Destroyer Sword from Zhou Shu’s hand.

The sword body of the Great Destroyer Sword flashed as sword qi burst forth, emitting a hissing sound.

Good sword! Yvin Changhao exclaimed. “As expected of the number one divine weapon in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!”

It was not that he had never seen a good sword before. But even though this Great Destroyer Sword was only a yellow-grade weapon, he immediately fell in love with it.

It was no wonder that Nameless only used a yellow-grade weapon despite his high cultivation.

The Great Destroyer Sword was truly a treasure to behold.

“Zhou Shu, can you sell this sword to me? Yin Changhao asked.

If I dare to sell it, will you dare to buy it? Zhou Shu said seriously.

Yin Changhao’s expression darkened. Nameless had given this sword to Zhou Shu.

If he bought it, even if he bought it with money, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t feel threatened or tempted.

If that Nameless comes looking for me

If he can cut off Xiao Shunzhfs arm, then I am probably not his match either

“It’s just a yellow-grade weapon. I don’t fancy it. Ill return it to you.” Yin Changhao’s expression was calm as he casually threw the Great Destroyer to Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu was given a fright. He hurriedly caught it, then staggered back a few steps before finally stabilizing himself.

Seeing Zhou Shu in such a sorry state, Emperor Yuan Feng felt as if he had drunk a cup of ice water on a rainy day. Kid, serves you right!

“Zhou Shu, why did Nameless leave his sword to you?” Emperor Yuan Feng asked.

“Senior Nameless said that after he turned a hundred years old, he would no longer be hampered by any weapon. Grass, trees, bamboo, and rocks can all be his swords. From then on, he will develop his skills further, such that gradually he will reach the realm of where no sword is better than a sword,” Zhou Shu said.

Emperor Yuan Feng’s and Yin Changhao’s expressions froze as they pondered.

No sword is better than a sword. This single sentence seemed to contain the profundities of the Sword Dao.

“Senior said that he no longer has any use for this sword, so he might as well leave it to me. He even taught me a set of sword techniques called the

Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords.”

The Great Destroyer Sword and the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique had both been made known to others. In the future, even if he fought someone, he wouldn’t have to worry about being exposed.

“He took you in as his disciple?” Yin Changhao said solemnly.

“No.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Senior Nameless said that my talent is too good, so he can’t teach me. He’s taking me in as a disciple on behalf of his master, and he wants me to call him senior brother. But I think he’s already more than a hundred years old. He’s a little too old to be my senior brother

Emperor Yuan Feng and Yin Changhao almost vomited blood.

Do you think your senior brother is a little too old?

If youre not willing, let me be his disciple!

How could you despise such an expert?

Speaking of which, what is your aptitude?

Emperor Yuan Feng and Yin Changhao stared at Zhou Shu, as if they wanted to completely break him apart.

Zhou Shu shrunk back. “That’s what he said

Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression was a bit serious. He knew that Zhou Shu had talent in the Martial Dao. Back then, Meng Bai had helped Zhou Shu ask for a chance to comprehend in the Saber Cave. At the time, Zhou Shu had yet to come into contact with the Martial Dao, but he had comprehended saber intent on his first try.

But later on, because his forging ability was too eye-catching, Emperor Yuan Feng chose to ignore his Martial Dao talent.

Now it seemed that his Martial Dao talent was even better than he had imagined.

An expert who could cut off Xiao Shunzhf’s arm should at least have a cultivation of the first rank. He might have even surpassed the first rank!

Such an expert actually said that he couldn’t teach Zhou Shu and even wanted to accept him as a disciple on behalf of his master. How heaven-defying was

Zhou Shu’s Martial Dao talent?

Emperor Yuan Feng looked at Yin Changhao.

Yin Changhao shook his head. There was no way to measure one’s Martial Dao talent. At most, one could make a rough judgment based on the reactions of the body. However, it could also be highly inaccurate.

Unless one cultivated the normal way, there was no way to judge a person’s talent.

Or could Nameless have a solution?

But this didn’t seem to matter.

The current situation was that Nameless had saved Zhou Shu and had even accepted him as a disciple on behalf of his master. Not only had he given his own sword to Zhou Shu, but he had also taught Zhou Shu a sword technique.

This was actually a good thing. After all, Zhou Shu was one of them, right?

Furthermore, Nameless had solved the problem of the You and Bing prefectures. From this point, it seemed he was also the saber expert who lived in seclusion in the capital. He should have good intentions toward Great Xia.

“Alright, I understand the situation now. You’ve suffered for these past few days. Go back and have a good rest. You don’t have to worry about the Forging Division for now. I will give you a few days off.” Emperor Yuanfeng waved his hand.

Initially, he had wanted to ask Zhou Shu about the Eight-Sided Han Sword and other standard weapons. But he was not in the mood to do so now. Zhou Shu had become the junior brother of a peerless expert. As for his reward, he had to consider it carefully.

He helped Great Xia win back the two prefectures, and his senior brother also resolved the crisis in the two prefectures. Such a peerless expert probably won’t accept Great Xia’s conferment. If this benefit falls on his junior brother, it can be considered Great Xia’s goodwill

Also, now that he has presented the Eight-Sided Han Sword to me, how will I reward him?

CouldI possibly really give my daughter to him?

Bah, Tm not doing that!

Emperor Yuan Feng looked at Zhou Shu with hostility.

As Emperor Yuan Feng was thinking, he heard Zhou Shu ask, “By the way, Your Majesty, how are the injuries of the grand minister?

Rascal, you still dare to think about my daughter?

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask! This isn’t something you should be asking about. Know your place and leave!” Emperor Yuan Feng shouted angrily and stood up. Zhou Shu hadn’t left yet, but he had already left..
