Volume 12 is missing Chapter 31: There is More Than One Sword Hidden (Part 2)
"You've traveled all over the mountains and never grow old. The scenery here is unique." The woman thought for a moment, nodded, and praised, "It's a good name."
She looked Lu Qingshan up and down with a strange look, and finally her eyes stopped on Lu Qingshan's face, and said seriously: "It's also a good look."
The man next to the woman quietly rolled his eyes.
"My name is Mingyu, and this is my husband..." The woman named Mingyu pushed the man next to her.
"My name is Zang Xiu," the man said reluctantly, "Xiao Jian is our daughter."
Mingyu, Zangxiu...
Beauty within the heart is reflected in beauty within the actions.
Just looking at the name, I feel that they are a very well-matched couple, but the name seems to be more appropriate the other way around.
Lu Qingshan thought in his heart.
"Xiaojian and I are friends. This is our first visit to the island. Just seeing how huge it is, it really broadens my horizons. But I don't know what the special features and traditions are?" he said.
"You are Xiaojian's friend, which means you are our guest at the Tibetan house."
"As for the etiquette and explanations..." Ming Yu smiled gently and said, "We are a country family, so we don't have too many rules."
If this is called a country family, then what can be considered a wealthy family?
This "humility" is unmatched by others.
The young woman turned to look at Qin Yitian again and suddenly smiled and said, "Girl, you are also very good. What should I call you?"
Zang Xiaojian could see that Qin Yitian was different, so how could Ming Yu, as Zang Xiaojian's mother, not see it?
"Madam, just call me Yitian." Qin Yitian also smiled gently, but compared to Mingyu's gentleness with strength, Qin Yitian's gentleness was deep in his bones.
"Xiaojian has good vision, and I like the friends he makes." Ming Yu said with a smile, and then took Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian into the building.
Lu Qingshan only felt that the lady in front of him was very polite, and thought that she was a responsible woman who was considerate in dealing with people. However, he did not know that although the young woman looked gentle, she was always "arrogant". There were many reasons why she was so polite to Lu Qingshan.
One reason is Qin Yitian.
A famous sword deserves a hero. Since Qin Yitian is attracted to Lu Qingshan, it means that no matter how bad Lu Qingshan is, he can't be that bad.
The second was Zang Xiu, who had excellent eyesight. When he saw Lu Qingshan for the first time, he had already seen the five natal swords hidden in the void around Lu Qingshan, and was sure that he was definitely not a small swordsman restrained by flying swords, but a great swordsman who could control thousands of sword intentions.
Of course, it’s also because of Zang Xiaojian.
When a young woman interacts with her daughter, "respect" has always been the first prerequisite.
Even if the person Zang Xiaojian welcomed today was just a young swordsman, she would still show due courtesy.
Ming Yu chatted casually with Lu Qingshan as they walked, and the topic was the famous swords in the Sword Pavilion, which was considered to be something he liked.
Lu Qingshan had just viewed the famous swords of Lingye Island in Jiange and knew their general history, but after all, what could be hung on the wall were only well-known information. Mingyu now told him some secrets and interesting stories.
For example, one of the famous swords is named Concubine. This is not because the swordsmith regarded the sword he forged as his partner, but because the swordsmith forged this sword without sleep and forgot to eat, which took a hundred years, and ignored the feelings of his Taoist partner, which made his Taoist partner unhappy - "Is the sword your wife, or am I your wife?"
After the sword was completed, the swordsmith named the new sword "Xiaoqie" to show his feelings to his wife...
Compared with those heart-wrenching stories written on scrolls and processed through literary rhetoric and art, these real anecdotes are more exciting in Lu Qingshan's opinion.
From beginning to end , Zang Xiu, as the head of the Zang family, Zang Xiaojian's father, didn't say much. He didn't seem to be very talkative and only occasionally glanced at Lu Qingshan.
That look was also strange, but a little different from Mingyu's.
Lu Qingshan couldn't tell the difference for a moment.
Mingyu led the way and finally brought Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian into a tea room.
The few of them sat down, and before the tea was served, the man narrowed his eyes and spoke for the first time: "Your human race and the demon race have been facing each other across the sea for ten thousand years, and my Lingye Island is located on the Tianhe Sea. It is not easy to find it. You may run into the demons on the way. You are so young, but your cultivation is not low. You are obviously a rare genius among the human race. You took such a big risk to come here. You can't just come to see Xiaojian, right?"
The hidden meaning was directed at Lu Qingshan's purpose, and at the same time it was also meant to wake up his daughter.
"Of course I hope to communicate with you two." Lu Qingshan said with a smile, not embarrassed at all, very frankly.
The young woman rolled her eyes at her man, then said to Lu Qingshan, "Xiao Jian told me about his experience on Jiaolong Island."
"Xiaojian grew up on the island since she was a child. That was her first time off the island. She was naive and ignorant. Thanks to your care, she didn't suffer any harm."
Lu Qingshan shook his head. "Mrs. Ming is too polite. She is very smart. It can't be said that we are taking care of each other. We are just helping each other."
Hearing Lu Qingshan's praise, Zang Xiaojian's eyes instantly brightened up, filled with pride and joy.
As they were talking, an old woman served Lu Qingshan some freshly brewed fragrant tea. Lu Qingshan took a sip. It didn't taste very good, but it did have a little secret. It gave him a strange feeling of numbness, but it also made him clear-headed and clear-minded.
Ming Yu nodded, and did not deny Lu Qingshan's evaluation of Cang Xiaojian. He continued to chat with Lu Qingshan for a while, and then stood up very neatly, "You young people can chat, and we two old people will not be an eyesore here, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable."
Unexpectedly, Zang Xiu remained motionless, as if she didn't hear what Ming Yu said.
Mingyu frowned and secretly stepped on the instep of her man's foot, which made the man stand up with a dry laugh and let Mingyu leave.
…
"Your father and mother are very loving." Lu Qingshan, who saw the last scene, said to Zang Xiaojian with a smile after Zang Xiu and Ming Yu left.
"My grandfather was the most famous swordsmith on the island at that time. He successfully forged a pseudo-Daoist sword, which is the Guanyin sword you just saw in the Sword Pavilion... Then my grandfather sent my mother to deliver the Guanyin to my father," Zang Xiaojian laughed and exposed his father's shortcomings without hesitation, "but I didn't expect that my father would be attracted by her beauty and fall in love with her at first sight."
"My mother was not willing to do so. She felt that the two of us were not suitable for each other..."
Zang Xiaojian did not elaborate on the subsequent developments, but Lu Qingshan had already imagined an emotional drama in his mind: "She runs away, he chases her, and neither of them can escape even if they have wings."
"Of course, in the end my father still conquered my mother. However, this family status..." Zang Xiaojian blinked his bright big eyes, and everything was said without words.
Lu Qingshan smiled and changed the subject, asking, "Your family is so wealthy, and you have countless swordsmiths . How did you end up on that ship and come with me to look for the three-foot sword?"
This question has been lingering in his mind since he entered the island.
"I appeared on Jiaolong Island because of some accidents! But my father will definitely not let me tell you the details. Sorry..."
Zang Xiaojian wrinkled his nose and added, "As for the three-foot sword, it was because my cultivation was not high at the time, so I couldn't use a sword of too high a grade. And I didn't know when my father would be able to find me. I needed to improve my cultivation to ensure my own safety, but I didn't want to just pick a random sword..."
"So what you said before, that your father sensed an extremely powerful sword near the South China Sea and was looking for his natal sword, was all a lie?" Lu Qingshan looked at Zang Xiaojian with a smile.
Zang Xiaojian straightened his chest and said with a smile, "I had no idea at the time, and I wanted to follow you. But if I didn't provide you with some useful information, why would you let me follow you?"
"Although I did lie to you, we were still friends at the time. My father once said that when you are out, you should not be too honest with strangers, or you will suffer."
I can only say that the evaluation of Zang Xiaojian just now is indeed correct.
This little girl is really smart.
Lu Qingshan said in his heart, and at the same time noticed an important piece of information revealed in Zang Xiaojian's words just now.
"Improve your cultivation, find a sword?" Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, and then came to a conclusion, "Can a sword help you improve your cultivation?"
"Yes." Zang Xiaojian nodded in acknowledgement.
"So, your cultivation level improved so quickly because of the sword."
Zang Xiaojian nodded again.
“Is this the talent of you collectors?”
Zang Xiaojian thought about it carefully and felt that this topic should not fall into the scope of "things that should not be said" as his father instructed.
So she nodded again.
"right."
“That’s the gift we collectors have.”
"Hide the weapon."
"You've traveled all over the mountains and never grow old. The scenery here is unique." The woman thought for a moment, nodded, and praised, "It's a good name."
She looked Lu Qingshan up and down with a strange look, and finally her eyes stopped on Lu Qingshan's face, and said seriously: "It's also a good look."
The man next to the woman quietly rolled his eyes.
