Chapter 339 The Divine Dragon of the Martial World
"Oh, just in case, I'll go and invite Guard Zhan over." After saying that, He Xiaohui left in the direction of Guard Zhan.
Li Lianhua and the others followed behind, asking, "Just who is this Guard Zhan? Why did your mother have to personally invite him?"
"He's a guy with a strange temper, but he's quite skilled in martial arts. My aunt recruited him many years ago."
Fang Duobing sighed, "These past few years, apart from my aunt, I've basically ignored everyone else. You'll see when you get there. Let's go."
Following He Xiaohui, they arrived at a courtyard and saw people sitting on the roof from afar.
"Guard Zhan, stop staying in the sky and come down quickly. My mother is here to see you." Fang Duobing put his hand to his mouth as if making a megaphone and shouted at the person on the roof.
"This is a bit too big," Li Lianhua whispered.
You'll get used to it.
The person on the rooftop used their lightness skill, leaping several times before landing steadily in front of them.
The newcomer appeared to be around 30 years old, with a handsome face, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, and carrying a long sword. He seemed to possess extraordinary martial arts skills and was a formidable expert.
The only thing that didn't quite match his temperament was his long, flowing hair, which he didn't tie up with anything. It seemed out of place at first glance, but after a few more looks, it actually seemed to complement him somewhat.
"Let me introduce you all. This is the Lotus Pavilion Master, Doctor Li, and Wu You. They are both good friends of my little treasure. This is Guard Zhan, known as the Divine Dragon of the Jianghu, wielding the Eighty-Six Styles of the Unsharp Sword."
"Guard Zhan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Li Lianhua." Li Lianhua looked at this face, which was more mature than she remembered, and his disheveled hair. She remembered what she had done in the past and wanted to cover her head.
"Wu You".
"Zhan Yunfei".
After the group got to know each other, He Xiaohui explained the previous events to Zhan Yunfei.
"That's the general situation. We'll use a treasure to lure out the thieves. To ensure nothing goes wrong, we'll still need Guard Zhan to make the necessary arrangements and guard the manor."
"Okay," Zhan Yunfei agreed readily.
"Actually, the treasures we brought out were fake to begin with, so there's no need for Guard Zhan to be there, right?"
Wu You spoke up weakly, having not had a chance to speak before.
“It’s alright, an extra layer of protection is always good,” He Xiaohui added. “Besides, the one that was stolen was indeed genuine.”
"Guard Zhan, I'm quite curious. With your martial arts skills, why would you stay at Tianji Manor as a guard?" Li Lianhua was genuinely curious. Given his martial arts prowess, he shouldn't be content to be a mere guard.
Faced with the probing questions from strangers, Zhan Yunfei, who was usually taciturn, remained silent, unwilling to reveal the truth to outsiders.
"Alas, it's all my sister's fault for being so reckless. She made a bet with Guard Zhan in a sword duel, and Guard Zhan unexpectedly lost, so he kept his promise and stayed at the manor," He Xiaohui explained to Li Lianhua and Wu You, who were unaware of the reason behind it.
"Let's make a bet, oh~" Li Lianhua's voice rose at the end, carrying a hint of ambiguity: "This Guardian Zhan's Wufeng Sword is renowned throughout the martial world, how could he possibly lose to this Second Hall Master?"
"I was injured at the time, so I did lose. I was fortunate to be saved by the Second Master."
"Oh." Li Lianhua nodded, neither knowing nor believing.
"Goodbye."
After Zhan Yunfei left, Wu You whispered to Fang Duobing, gossiping: "I think he wasn't injured, he just deliberately lost the bet."
"He deliberately lost the bet, so what was his motive?" Fang Duobing was somewhat incredulous, as he hadn't seen him do anything like that over the years.
"Then of course it's the beautiful woman I'm after."
