"Chen Xiaoting, look at the mess you've made!"
Just as Chen Xiaoting was plotting something else, Elder Chen burst in, his eyes blazing with anger.
For the first time, he felt that this granddaughter might not be as understanding as she appeared on the surface; she might be a sinister, cunning, and wicked person!
"Grandpa, it's all my fault. Please, can you plead with Mr. Wang for me? I was wrong, I promise I'll never dare to do it again. I swear!"
Seeing her grandfather, Chen Xiaoting immediately knelt on the ground, clasping her hands as if to swear, her eyes full of pleading.
She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good plan. She was truly scared now!
Wang Er Zhu was an unassailable boss. If she offended him, she would be the one to get hurt!
"Hmph, if it weren't for fear of implicating the Chen family, I wouldn't bother with your affairs!"
Seeing Chen Xiaoting's teary eyes, Elder Chen showed no mercy. He snorted, uttered these words, and strode away.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Hearing her grandfather say this, Chen Xiaoting's eyes were filled with gratitude. She respectfully kowtowed to Elder Chen to thank him, but her eyes were full of murderous intent!
Give up on revenge? Absolutely not!
That Wang Er Zhu had harmed her so terribly; she had to make him infamous and tear him limb from limb!
However, to achieve this goal, she had to plan carefully...
While Chen Xiaoting was still pondering revenge, Elder Chen had already arrived at Er Zhu's home with gifts. Upon seeing Elder Chen, Er Zhu guessed his purpose.
"Er Zhu, what happened this time was indeed Xiaoting's fault, but can you stop for my sake, please?"
Looking at Er Zhu, Elder Chen's eyes flashed with embarrassment and unease. He cautiously probed, his eyes even carrying a hint of pleading.
He had been successful in business for over fifty years, but he had never been so demeaning!
"Since Grandpa Chen has spoken, of course, I can. But if there's a next time, don't blame me."
Seeing Elder Chen's desperate plea, Er Zhu nodded slightly, but at the same time, he stated his bottom line.
"Don't worry, if she dares to make a move against you again, I will expel her from the Chen family!"
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Elder Chen replied with great determination.
"Alright." Er Zhu nodded slightly, then beckoned Lin Mo. After a brief instruction, Elder Chen's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Er Zhu, this is a thousand-year-old precious saber. It took me a lot of effort to obtain it. Please accept it."
Seeing Lin Mo leave, Elder Chen suddenly remembered something. He said this while opening the brocade box.
Instantly, a dagger more than half a meter long appeared before Er Zhu. Although the dagger looked a bit worn, the intricate carvings on the scabbard told of its past glory!
When the scabbard was pulled away, a cold, shimmering dagger was revealed, especially its tip, which was sharp and imposing!
"This is the Ming Hong Saber. Legend has it that when Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi's golden sword was forged in ancient times, the raw materials still had heat. Due to the residual high temperature, the molten casting material spontaneously flowed to the bottom of the furnace, forming a blade shape upon cooling. When this saber fell into the human world, Huangdi wanted to destroy it with his Xuanyuan Sword, but the saber transformed into a swift bird in his hand, disappearing without a trace like a streak of red!"
Seeing that Er Zhu remained silent, Elder Chen thought he didn't know its origin and briefly recounted some legends about the saber.
"Hmm, it is indeed a good saber. I'll keep it then."
Looking at the strong spiritual energy surrounding the saber, Er Zhu nodded slightly and placed the Ming Hong Saber on the coffee table.
"Good, then you rest. I won't disturb you any further."
Seeing that Er Zhu had accepted his gift, the heavy stone in Elder Chen's heart finally lifted. He smiled and nodded at Er Zhu before quickly leaving.
Watching Elder Chen depart, Er Zhu held the Ming Hong Saber before him and began to cultivate with full concentration.
Ever since his four copper coins broke, he had been without a suitable weapon. This Ming Hong Saber had come at the perfect time!
As the spiritual energy in the room grew denser, the Ming Hong Saber slowly floated up, its surrounding aura becoming even more dazzling!
Er Zhu once again sank his qi to his dan tian. The Ming Hong Saber, as if responding to a command from his eyes, actually began to attack automatically!
Er Zhu slowly opened his eyes. The Ming Hong Saber automatically returned before him. He nodded slightly and put the Ming Hong Saber into his pocket.
Now that he had a weapon, he still hadn't found any talismans for warding off evil. It seemed he needed to visit the antique street in Kyoto.
After a simple tidying up, Er Zhu arrived at the antique street, bustling with people and lively.
"Er Zhu!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to enter a shop, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. He turned his head and saw Wang Xiaomei running towards him with a smile.
"Xiaomei, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Wang Xiaomei, Er Zhu was somewhat surprised. The Wang family had been busy with many things recently, and even when Er Zhu came to Kyoto, Wang Xiaomei hadn't come to see him off. He didn't expect to meet her here.
"I didn't get to see you off properly, so I had to come and see you. This is Kyoto, not like our small town."
Looking at Er Zhu's resolute face, Wang Xiaomei playfully swayed Er Zhu's arm, her eyes full of tenderness.
Heaven knows how long she had been busy to squeeze out this little bit of time to see Er Zhu. She feared she would go crazy if she didn't come!
"By the way, why are you here?" Er Zhu nodded slightly and was about to say something when Wang Xiaomei pointed at the shop's signboard and asked curiously.
This place sold things related to feng shui. Er Zhu wasn't one of those charlatans, so what was he doing here?
"Oh, I've been studying feng shui recently, so I came to buy some things."
While Wang Xiaomei was confused, Er Zhu casually found an excuse. Hearing this, a hint of difficulty flashed in Wang Xiaomei's eyes.
"Er Zhu, feng shui is feudal superstition. Why are you studying it? With this time, you might as well study some medicine."
Although Wang Xiaomei felt it wasn't appropriate to say this, thinking of those god-faking charlatans, she still felt the need to remind Er Zhu.
"Feng shui is not feudal superstition; it is a profound branch of knowledge."
Seeing Wang Xiaomei's cautious demeanor, Er Zhu didn't get angry. He smiled slightly, thinking of the obscure and difficult ancient books in his mind.
"Oh, alright. Then I'll accompany you. I'm idle anyway."
Hearing Er Zhu say this, although Wang Xiaomei still had doubts in her heart, she didn't say much more.
Entering the shop, Er Zhu saw many items for warding off evil. After looking around, his gaze fixed on an inconspicuous peach wood sword.
The peach wood sword was placed in a corner by the shopkeeper and was covered in a thick layer of dust. If one didn't look closely, they might mistake it for trash.
"How much is this?"
Er Zhu pointed at the peach wood sword and asked the store clerk beside him.
"Ten thousand!" Following Er Zhu's gaze, the clerk sneered and stated a surprising number.
