Sword?

To be honest, ever since the Soul-Devouring Sword was broken in the Qianhe Building, Liu Zixuan had been pondering how to find a suitable weapon again!

The fan obtained from the Ghost Market yesterday is good for showing off or sometimes catching someone off guard, but in real combat, you still need a proper weapon!

Now Zhou Nian suddenly mentioned it, directly piquing Liu Zixuan's curiosity!

He quickly asked, "What sword?"

"I really don't know, but I've heard that this sword is unusual."

Seeing Zhou Nian's serious expression, Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "Ordinarily, you're not interested in weapons. How come you're suddenly so willing to help me?"

"Come on, what do you take me for? Normally, I might be a bit greedy and stingy, but after all, you're my future son-in-law. Your sword was broken for my daughter, so helping you is also a way of compensating you!"

Zhou Nian said rather displeased, feeling that Liu Zixuan's words seriously tarnished his image and insulted his character!

Seeing him like this, Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Don't give me that. We both know each other well. But since you seem sincere, let's discuss how to compete for this sword!"

"That's right, we're family, so why talk like strangers?"

Zhou Nian chuckled and then said, "The outsiders are definitely well-prepared, and they're here just for this sword. If we compete head-on, I don't think it will work!"

"So you're suggesting I steal it?"

"Then I'll have to buy you a coffin!" Zhou Nian shrugged.

Liu Zixuan was irritated and almost wanted to smack him: "If competing head-on won't work and stealing won't either, then what do you suggest?"

"I think we can steal it!" Zhou Nian's lips slowly curled into a smug smile.

Steal?

Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes, "Are you out of your mind, thinking you can steal something from such powerful people?"

"You should steal it, after all, you're quite capable! If discovered, just run away."

Listening to Zhou Nian's words, Liu Zixuan couldn't help it and stood up directly, "Are you joking or trying to get me in trouble?"

"Stop, stop. We're just discussing this." Zhou Nian had witnessed Liu Zixuan's true abilities and knew if he angered Liu Zixuan, he wouldn't stand a chance!

The two were muttering in the office, going through every possible solution, but ultimately dismissing them all!

After a while, Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "Enough, let's just face it openly. If I get it, great; if I don't, it's fate!"

"Alright, but I think you should have some backup plans." Zhou Nian muttered, pouting.

It was obvious that Zhou Nian wasn't worried about Liu Zixuan alone; there had to be other motives behind his eagerness for this sword!

After their arguments, it was already nearing evening, and Zhou Nian had returned from Medical University.

"Alright, my mouth hurts from talking. Let Zhou Nian make some food and have a couple of drinks." Zhou Nian said.

"Do you really need to say that? Should I leave while you eat?"

Seeing Liu Zixuan's demeanor, Zhou Nian smirked, "Why do I feel like you're the owner here, and I'm just a guest?"

"Once I marry that busty girl, you definitely will be the guest, and the owner of the Treasure Hall will be named Liu!" Liu Zixuan grinned mischievously and walked out.

"Big-chested girl, has Doudou gone back?"

Zhou Nian tied an apron and replied, "I took her to Xiumei Company before coming back. Doudou is really talented and influential. This afternoon, Elder Wei went to the hospital and, according to him, might select a few people from there to take directly to the hospital for internships!"

"Hmm, Elder Wei mentioned it to me."

"Doudou is among them!" Zhou Nian sweetly smiled, "Elder Wei said, being with you every day, she learned a lot quickly, and her abilities far exceed many other students!"

Liu Zixuan laughed, "Of course, look who's mentoring her! Following Brother Zixuan, she'll never go hungry or thirsty!"

"Ah!"

Just as Liu Zixuan and Zhou Nian were chatting, a familiar voice suddenly came from a nearby room.

Liu Zixuan frowned and quickly ran towards the sound, and when he arrived at the room, Zhou Nian was already there!

"Zhao Yi?"

"That's right, to let him interact more with the tomb owner, I moved the tomb owner from the secret room to this room." Zhou Nian said solemnly.

"Open the door!"

Zhou Nian pushed twice, finding it locked from the inside, and quickly took out keys to unlock the door!

The two rushed inside, only to see Zhao Yi sitting on the ground, staring blankly with trembling fingers.

As for the tomb owner, originally lying down, was now sitting up, but his eyes remained shut, still looking as lifeless as before!

Liu Zixuan walked over and asked, "What happened?"

"I... I was just practicing some moves from the Sword Manual you gave me, but... but as I practiced, I suddenly felt like my body was out of control."

In a trembling voice, Zhao Yi pointed at the tomb owner, "My body moved towards him uncontrollably, and once I touched his fingers, I suddenly woke up, and then he just sat up!"

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "That's it?"

"Ah!"

"Could it be some kind of supernatural revival?" Zhou Nian walked around the tomb owner twice, "There are no signs of that, especially since this body is centuries old. How could it just sit up suddenly!"

"According to medical theory, it's impossible. If it were a newly deceased person, touching certain joints like the left and right shoulders might elicit some responses!"

Liu Zixuan stroked his chin, considering what Zhao Yi said—practicing moves from the Sword Manual seemed to have elicited a response from the tomb owner!

Could there really be some sort of mysterious connection?

He then said to Zhao Yi, "Alright, try practicing those moves again."

"I'm… I'm scared. What if he suddenly stands up?" Zhao Yi nervously murmured.

Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "Your Master Zhou and I are right here. If he does come back to life, what can he do? You just do it boldly, and I'll help you if anything happens!"

If the Sword Manual indeed linked Zhao Yi with the tomb owner, this might be Zhao Yi's breakthrough opportunity!

He must help Zhao Yi grasp it, as many martial artists never encounter such chances in their lifetime!

Seeing Zhao Yi still hesitant, Zhou Nian chimed in, "Liu Zixuan is right, don't be afraid, we are both here!"
