Chapter 442: Chapter 232: Girl’s Feelings

Wu Yinxin’s words exploded like a bomb in Jiang Shouzhong’s heart, stirring up a thousand waves.

Jiang Shouzhong blanched, exclaiming in shock, "What did you say?"

Ye was actually Yan Changqing’s daughter?

Wu Yinxin sat elegantly on a stool, her bare hands gently stroking her hair, her expression somber,

"It seems you know who Ye Zhuchan is. Yan Changqing’s wife is from the Asura Clan, so their child naturally possesses the Asura bloodline. And, as I’ve incidentally learned, Ye Zhuchan, the disciple of Li Guanshi from the South Sea Holy Sect, carries the Asura Demonic Qi."

I cannot be certain that Ye Zhuchan is Yan Changqing’s daughter, as the Asura Clan is not limited to this single lineage, but various signs suggest there is a connection between them.

If we wish to confirm this, we can only ask Li Guanshi or investigate at the South Sea Holy Sect."

At that moment, Jiang Shouzhong was disturbed, his feelings conflicted.

He both hoped that Ye was Yan Changqing’s daughter and hoped she was not.

He hoped so because Yan Changqing had been searching for so many years and finally there was a lead. Yet, he also hoped not, for after all, Ye was dead.

This was yet another crushing blow to his hopes.

After a long silence, Jiang Shouzhong nodded and said, "I will tell my master about this. Also, Madam, may I see the Overlord Blade?"

Wu Yinxin took out a long box from a wooden cabinet beside the bed and placed it on the table.

Upon opening the box, a dark colored broadsword appeared before Jiang Shouzhong.

The blade was broad, engraved with patterns, swirling with a chilly light, and faintly, flickers of bloodlight were visible, enveloped by a heavy and sinister aura.

"Is this the Overlord Blade?"

Jiang Shouzhong frowned and asked.

Wu Yinxin nodded slightly, "Yes."

Jiang Shouzhong gazed at the treasure blade before him, its sinister aura comparable to that of the Seven Kills Blade, and asked, "Has this blade always been kept by you, Madam?"

"Since my husband fell ill, I have been in charge of keeping it," Wu Yinxin said.

"And it has been with you these past few days?"

"Yes."

Wu Yinxin’s voice suddenly paused, then she said, "Four days ago, I took the Overlord Blade to the secret vault’s cold pond for routine maintenance, and I only retrieved it yesterday. But only the master and I have access to the vault, no one else can enter."

Four days ago...yesterday...

The timing was just right!

Jiang Shouzhong’s eyelids twitched as he asked, "Are you certain that during those three days the Overlord Blade was always in the vault’s cold pond and hadn’t been tampered with?"

Wu Yinxin gave a slight smile, "You must understand, the vault’s door has eleven locks. If even one is tampered with, the door will lock completely and trigger an internal alarm. No one could steal from such a place."

Jiang Shouzhong said, "Madam, could you take me to the vault to see it?"

Wu Yinxin hesitated, but finally she sighed,

"I would normally refuse anyone, but since you are Yan Changqing’s disciple, I’ll make an exception."

...

Under the guidance of Wu Yinxin, Jiang Shouzhong and Li Nanshuang came to the vault.

The so-called vault was a small cave dug out, embedded with a clear pond, the water shrouded in chilling fog.

Approaching it felt like piercing cold penetrating to the bone, no ordinary cold could compare.

Jiang Shouzhong scrutinized the vault carefully, confirming that aside from the vault’s door, not even a fly could enter.

And, as Wu Yinxin had said, there were eleven locks on the door.

Even the world’s best locksmith would need a full day to break through them. Plus, there were guards patrolling outside the vault.

During the period the Overlord Blade was being maintained, it would be hard for someone to hide there unlocking it.

Who could silently open the vault’s door, steal the Overlord Blade, and then silently return it?

Jiang Shouzhong became pensive.

Wu Yinxin looked at him, "Any other questions?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "Madam, are you certain that only you and Mr. Xu can open the vault door?"

"Certain."

"Then, is it possible that Mr. Xu could have been here?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yinxin sarcastically said, "A degenerate who can’t even get out of bed, how would he come to take the blade?"

"Is it possible that he lent the blade to someone else?"

Jiang Shouzhong raised another hypothesis.

Wu Yinxin’s face bore an even thicker tinge of mockery, "You know, Xu Wenqing has only one wife, and that is this blade. He would die before parting with it. Do you think he would lend his ’wife’ to someone else?"

Jiang Shouzhong silently nodded.

Indeed, for someone who cherishes his blade as his life, lending it would be more painful than death.

But another possibility existed.

Jiang Shouzhong stared at the woman before him and said, "What if someone threatened him?"

"Hahaha..."

This made the woman burst into laughter, as if she had heard the most ludicrous question in the world.

She stopped her laughter, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said:

"Someone threatening Xu Wenqing? It seems you do not know who Xu Wenqing is. The head of the Bright Moon Tower, a renowned assassin organization, is his friend, the leader of the Black Mountain Alliance used to be his sworn brother, and he was once the third in command of the Sihai Gang...

One might say, Xu Wenqing represents half of the Jianghu. If someone dares to threaten him, then that person would surely face the wrath of nearly half the martial arts community.

Moreover, his cultivation is strong enough to be among the top twenty in the world.

Originally, the head of Tianqing Manor, Leng Chaosong, who ranks among the top ten experts, asked to borrow the blade and was outright refused by Xu Wenqing. Even Leng did not dare to threaten or forcefully take it... Tell me, who in this world would dare threaten him?"

Jiang Shouzhong understood.

Xu Wenqing was indeed a major underworld figure, someone everyone had to show respect.

Jiang Shouzhong said, "Madam, may I meet Mr. Xu?"

"Another day."

Wu Yinxin said, "His health has not been good recently. Let’s wait a few more days until he’s feeling better, then I’ll take you to see him."
