Chapter 937 - Sword
Under a big tree in the front yard of a small house, an old man was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the trunk of the tree.
He was tilting his head back while closing his eyes. His white hair and clothes danced softly as the summer wind hit his old body.
Even though he was alone in the front yard of his small house, he was not lonely because the gentle sound of the summer wind hitting the trees and the beautiful sound of birds chirping were accompanying him.
That old man was none other than Lian Xun, Lan Ruoxi's martial arts master.
At this moment, he was still closing his eyes and enjoying himself. His mind became calm, and he also felt as if he had become one with nature.
This was the main reason why he bought a house in a rural area because the air in a rural was still fresh, and the scenery was also breathtaking.
'This is paradise.'
Lian Xun said in his head.
He slowly opened his eyes and turned his head when he felt two people walking closer towards him.
"Oh, you came?!" Lian Xun spoke when he saw Lan Ruoxi and Xiao Tian.
Of course, he knew that Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi would visit him because he had told Lan Ruoxi that Xiao Tian's sword was finished.
He just did not expect that Xiao Tian would only come to his house now because he gave information to Lan Ruoxi two days ago.
Because Lian Xun knew that Xiao Tian wanted that special sword so badly, he thought Xiao Tian would come to his house immediately, but he was wrong.
'Well, I'm sure it's because of woman again.'
Because Lian Xun knew that Xiao Tian was a playboy, he believed Xiao Tian did not come to his house immediately because of a woman.
For a playboy like Xiao Tian, only a woman could make him forget everything.
If Xiao Tian could read his mind, he would be surprised because what Lian Xun's guess was correct.
The reason why he did not come to Lian Xun's house immediately was that he busied spending time with his women and had sex with them.
Xiao Tian even almost canceled his plan to go to Lian Xun's house when Lan Ruoxi teased him and said she wanted to spend time with him for a whole day earlier.
If Lan Ruoxi did not change her mind, they would not be at Lian Xun's house now.
"Good morning, elder Lian." Xiao Tian wore a friendly face because Lan Ruoxi wanted him to get along with Lian Xun.
"Who are you? Are you that annoying young man's twin brother?" Lian Xun was shocked after seeing Xiao Tian's behavior.
'Is he possessed by something? Why is he behaving like this? Wait. Is he acting like this because he hit his head with something before coming to my house?'
Countless questions appeared in his head.
Lian Xun still found it hard to believe what he was seeing because they had an argument before Xiao Tian traveled to Beijing.
Xiao Tian pointed his right index finger at his face and replied, "It's me, Xiao Tian. It's only four days since the last time we met. How could you have forgotten me?"
'Damn! Is this old man doing this on purpose?'
Xiao Tian cursed venomously in his heart.
"I thought you were someone else because you didn't behave annoyingly like the last time we met." Xiao Tian behaved rudely the last time they met, so Lian Xun did not expect Xiao Tian to act nicely like that. "Well, you don't need to continue acting like this because I know you are not a good young man."
"Hehe." Lan Ruoxi covered her mouth and giggled cutely after seeing the behavior of Xiao Tian and her master.
However, she was pleased deep inside her.
'Thank you, young master Xiao.'
Lan Ruoxi knew the reason why Xiao Tian suddenly behaved friendly like that.
She suddenly felt glad that Xiao Tian decided to listen to her words and hoped they could get along well later because both Xiao Tian and Lian Xun were important to her.
Xiao Tian was unhappy with Lian Xun's words, but he did not show it on his face.
'This old man is as annoying as ever!'
If Lan Ruoxi did not tell him who Lian Xun was, Xiao Tian would not want to talk to Lian Xun.
Lan Ruoxi was his future lover and had helped him many times, so Xiao Tian tried his best to get along with Lian Xun.
'Calm down, calm down. Remember Xiao Tian. All of this is for the sake of your future lover. No, no. for the sake of your future wife.'
Xiao Tian tried his best to suppress his anger.
"Elder Lian, you said the sword for young master Xiao is ready. Can we see it now?" Lan Ruoxi was also curious about Xiao Tian's sword, so she wanted to see it.
Of course, she did not doubt her master's skills in making swords because one of the reasons why her master was famous in the past was that he was a skilled blacksmith.
Lian Xun shifted his gaze from Xiao Tian to Lan Ruoxi,
'Why is she curious about his sword? Did he ask her to do this?'
Lian Xun suddenly thought Xiao Tian asked Lan Ruoxi to do that before coming to his house.
Because it was his disciple's request, Lian Xun agreed instantly. "Wait here. I will take the sword now."
He then entered his house because he put Xiao Tian's sword in his home. Several seconds later, Lian Xun returned to the front yard with a black sword in his right hand.
"Take this." Lian Xun threw the sword at Xiao Tian.
Like before, Xiao Tian cursed in his heart after catching the sword.
Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi began inspecting the sword. The sword was made of special iron because Xiao Tian wanted to have a sword that could be shortened and extended.
'This sword is amazing! Hmm? Are these little buttons the controllers?'
Xiao Tian saw three small buttons on the quillon of the sword.
"This sword is amazing!" Lan Ruoxi stated.
Xiao Tian nodded his head.
"The circular button on the quillon of the sword is to lengthen the sword, and the rectangular button is to shorten the sword." Lian Xun explained the use of the small buttons. "For the triangle button, it acts as a lock, so the sword doesn't lengthen or shorten by itself later. In short, it's for safety."
Without waiting for another second, Xiao Tian tested the sword. First, he tried to shorten the sword before lengthening it again.
The length of the sword was 28 inches when he lengthened it, and it decreased to 8,6 inches when he shortened the sword.
After lengthening the sword again, he swung the sword a few times.
'This sword is perfect!'
The length and weight of the sword were perfect for Xiao Tian, so he liked the sword very much.
"How is it?" Lian Xun inquired.
"Perfect!" Xiao Tian replied.
"You can have the sword immediately but on one condition." Lian Xun stated.
"What is it?" Xiao Tian inquired.
Lian Xun responded, "I want…."
