Sole Sword Supremacy

Chapter 481: Testing the Waters


"Thank you, brother!"

Wang Xin was momentarily stunned, but quickly reacted, flashing a naive and innocent expression as she accepted the storage pouch in front of everyone. She even deliberately poured out some spirit stones, counting them like a little miser.

This really caught everyone's attention.

This is real wealth!

The tea artisan serving nearby also showed a more eager expression, diligently refilling their tea.

"Young lady, I just arrived at the capital city. Do you know any fun places to visit?"

Wang Junze casually asked as his gaze fell on the tea artisan.

While speaking, Wang Junze casually took out dozens of spirit stones and pushed them in front of her as a reward.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Excitement flickered in her eyes as the tea artisan accepted the spirit stones and enthusiastically introduced, "I won't mention the tea places since ours is the best in the capital. As for food, Fan Building has to be the top choice. It's been an established brand for hundreds of years, and all its chefs come from the Imperial Kitchen. Aside from the palace, Fan Building is the best!"

"Moreover, Fan Building claims that if it exists in the world, no matter how rare or exotic, they can find it. Of course, the better the ingredients, the more expensive the price. Some particularly rare delicacies need to be reserved in advance."

"Sounds good. What about the wine? Where's the best wine?"

Wang Junze smiled and asked again.

"Fan Building has good wine, but the best is at Yanzi Building. However..." At this point, the tea artisan couldn't help but discreetly glance at Wang Xin and Peng Ru.

"I understand, it's a place I can go, but not for them, right?"

Wang Junze asked nonchalantly.

"Yes, Yanzi Building is famous not only for its wine but also for its beauties. Every night guests come in droves. It's said even the courtesan Lin Yan'er was visited by His Majesty the Emperor in casual attire."

Hearing this, Wang Junze felt a slight stir.

No matter if the Emperor really visited Yanzi Building or not, this news reveals the open-minded atmosphere of the capital, and his majesty indeed has an extraordinary demeanor.

"Sounds surprising, but for now, it's still early. Why don't we sit here for a while longer, and later, visit Fan Building for dinner, then head to Yanzi Building for drinks?"

Wang Junze openly stated his plans and turned to the tea artisan: "By the way, serve us whatever spirit tea you have. We plan to stay for a while, and it's best if we can taste all your special spirit teas."

Hearing this, the tea artisan was overjoyed.

So generous!

It's known that the valuable spirit tea here is not only the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Tea; other spirit teas are also quite pricey, and she earns a significant commission for each sale.

After that, Wang Junze didn't ask much more and casually chatted with Wang Xin and the others.

Just like that, the afternoon passed by in a flash.

After sampling over ten types of spirit tea, when it was time to settle the bill, he spent over ten thousand spirit stones here alone.

Upon departure, the tea house thoughtfully prepared a carriage for Wang Junze, directly sending them to Fan Building.

"Brother, we're being watched!"

Once inside the carriage, Wang Xin softly reminded, "There have been several groups of people visiting the tea house this afternoon, likely from the same party, coming to surveil us."

"In the capital city, would they dare to make a move?"

Wang Junze curiously asked.

Logically, the capital's security should be excellent.

"Ordinary citizens indeed wouldn't dare harbor ill intentions. However... there are always some cultivators willing to take risks. After all, the wealth you displayed this afternoon is too tempting. If they could rob you and escape in the chaos from the capital, it would be difficult to track them down."

Of course, this is also because Wang Junze and his entourage changed into casual clothes today; otherwise, wearing the official uniform of the Judgment Department would have made anyone hesitate to attempt anything.

"Then let's see when they decide to act!"

Wang Junze replied indifferently with a smile, "Let me see how much you've improved over the years."

Clearly, facing these assailants, Wang Junze decided not to act himself and instead used the opportunity to observe his sister's strength since his impression of Wang Xin's prowess still lingered from the Northern Domain.

"Okay!"

Wang Xin replied playfully with a wink and a cheerful smile.

Sure enough, not long after the carriage began to move, seizing the moment it entered a narrow alley, a group suddenly charged out attempting to attack the carriage.

The coach driver was instantly frightened, halted the carriage, and hid trembling under it.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, Wang Xin followed by leaping from the carriage, her transparent sword slashed through the air in a dazzling blaze, not waiting for the attackers to approach the carriage as she struck.

"Don't kill them!"

Wang Junze suddenly instructed.

While she seemed like an innocent girl when with Wang Junze, Wang Xin's actions towards others were absolutely ruthless and merciless. Without this command, these attackers wouldn't stand a chance of survival.

"Young Master, Miss Xin is very powerful!"

Peng Ru peeked through the curtain and couldn't help but admire Wang Xin's technique.

Despite Peng Ru only being in the Refining Spirit realm, with the Li Shang Sword in her hand, her skill and vision were far above that of ordinary Heaven-Stepping. Yet upon witnessing Wang Xin's expertise, Peng Ru vaguely felt that even if she fully harnessed the Li Shang Sword's power, she might not surpass Wang Xin.

With a slight nod, Wang Junze's eyes also flashed with delight.

He'd known that his sister's talent was formidable, comparable to the True Disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, only lacking top-tier inheritance. However, after being brought into the capital city by Su Yuwei, the Judgment Department has supplemented this shortfall.

Not only is her True Qi powerful, but her sword techniques are also unpredictable, absolutely considered top-tier inheritance.

With more time, she will smoothly step into the Void Shattering realm!

In just a short while, those who attacked were swiftly subdued by Wang Xin, perhaps due to caution against the Judgment Department's identity, or unwilling to kill in front of Wang Junze, they were merely injured, not killed.

Unfortunately, these attackers were too weak to allow Wang Xin to fully showcase her true strength.

"Brother, should we interrogate them?"

Returning to the carriage, Wang Xin softly asked.

"No need! They're merely pawns for probing."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze casually replied, "Don't reveal your identity, leave them here, and let's continue!"

"Alright!"

Nodding, Wang Xin immediately pulled the coach driver out from beneath the carriage and continued on to Fan Building.

After the carriage departed, a few individuals quickly emerged from the shadows, crouched to examine the attackers' injuries.

"The sword skill is impressive, a master. The opponent intentionally held back, and although our men look dire, their injuries aren't serious."

"But it wasn't the young master who acted; we still can't identify their background."

"No need, I'll personally meet him!"
