Supreme Sword Sovereign

Inside the inn.

In a quiet and elegant secret chamber.

"No wonder!"

Listening to the black-clothed person's report below, Murong Chuan suddenly realized.

"He seems to have remnants of fire energy on him; he must have fought with Jiang Hong. It was my oversight, I actually didn't think of this."

"Remarkable!"

He was full of admiration.

"With just the strength of the second level Meridian Unblocking, he was able to defeat someone with a Fire Spirit Body at the ninth level. He must be extraordinary! The young lady's judgment is indeed beyond my reach! Hehe, I'm becoming more and more curious about this young brother."

Little did he know.

Murong Yan gave Gu Han the token simply because she took a liking to him.

It had little to do with judgment.

"There's another matter."

Below.

The black-clothed person suddenly hesitated.

"Speak."

Murong Chuan gestured with his hand.

"Could he possibly tear down the Martial Academy?"

"This... not exactly."

The black-clothed person paused.

"It's just... he chose Mei Yun as his Instructor."

"What!"

Murong Chuan, who had been composed, suddenly lost his composure.

"Mei Yun? How could he..."

Before he could finish.

His expression changed, and in a flash, he disappeared.

...

Inside the main hall.

Seeing Murong Chuan suddenly appear, Gu Han was curious.

This senior...

Why such an expression?

He had been here for several days and had never seen him lose his composure like this.

"Senior."

He greeted with a bow.

"Thank you for this matter!"

"Did you get the item?"

"I did!"

Gu Han lifted the Storage Ring in his hand.

"That fast?"

Murong Chuan was curious.

"Normally, I've never seen him so straightforward. What... what price did you pay?"

"Tenfold."

"Tenfold?"

Murong Chuan was even more curious.

He knew the value of the Falling Ghost Fruit all too well. Given how frugal Gu Han was, always asking if staying at an inn was free, where would he get so many Yuan Crystals?

Moreover...

Even with Yuan Crystals, it wasn't guaranteed one could buy the Falling Ghost Fruit.

However.

Gu Han didn't say, and naturally, Murong Chuan wouldn't ask further.

"By the way."

Gu Han seemed to remember something and pulled Chen Ping to the front.

"Senior, would you mind doing me a small favor?"

"A small favor?"

Murong Chuan was taken aback, glanced at Chen Ping a few times, somewhat puzzled.

"Who is he?"

Chen Ping was completely dumbfounded!

To be precise, after Gu Han told him about the Murong Family, he had been in a daze.

He had been in the Capital for many years.

Naturally, he understood the terror of the Murong Family.

Even the royal family had to step aside before them!

So...

Brother Gu was actually a distinguished guest of the Murong Family!

So...

The person who had caused a stir a few days ago, making Liu Tong kneel, was actually Brother Gu!

So...

"Outrageous!"

As he was thinking.

A sudden angry shout pulled him back to reality.

After hearing Gu Han's story.

Murong Chuan sneered repeatedly.

"I thought he was just an indecent person, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy and without a bottom line. A tenfold price still couldn't satisfy his appetite. How about it..."

He looked at Gu Han.

"Do you want me to take action and help you deal with him?"

...

Gu Han was speechless.

I'm the one being chased, so why... do you seem angrier than I am?

"Senior, the token... I don't want to use it for now."

"Then... let it be."

Murong Chuan was somewhat disappointed.

His righteous indignation just now was mostly an act.

Disdain was real.

Anger was fake.

"Your name is Chen Ping?"

Seeing that Gu Han didn't take the bait, he turned his gaze to Chen Ping.

"Yes..."

Facing the legendary Murong innkeeper.

Chen Ping couldn't even speak properly.

"...Yes, I... I am Chen Ping..."

"Good!"

Murong Chuan smiled.

"I've heard about your situation, not bad, truly commendable! Loyal, righteous, and responsible! Tsk tsk, Tian Heng must be blind to have missed such a talent like you!"

"I... I..."

Chen Ping was at a loss.

This was the first time he had been praised as a talent.

And...

The one praising him was the mysterious and unpredictable Murong innkeeper!

"Here's what we'll do."

Murong Chuan pondered for a moment and smiled, "I don't lack staff in my inn, but the medicinal pill shop in Great Yan is missing a Director. You first go with Qian Liu, let him tell you the rules, and later I'll send a message to that cousin of mine, and you can take up the post tomorrow!"

Chen Ping was stunned again.

Director and Director.

The positions were naturally different.

The position of a Director in the Murong Family... had much more value than that of the Treasure Pavilion, and many people would cry and beg on their knees without any chance of holding such a position!

Such a great opportunity had fallen into his lap?

"Brother?"

Gu Han patted his shoulder.

"Do you think the position of Director is a bit light?"

"No, no, no..."

Chen Ping was terrified.

"Too high, way too high! Thank you, Brother Gu, thank you, Murong innkeeper!"

He understood.

All these dreamlike events were fought for by Gu Han on his behalf, and his gratitude towards Gu Han was beyond measure.

"Hehe."

Seeing Chen Ping's ecstatic face being led away by Qian Liu.

Murong Chuan was somewhat emotional.

"You're quite the warm-hearted one."

"This brother is an honest person."

Gu Han smiled.

"Honest people shouldn't be bullied like this, right, senior?"

"Indeed!"

"Senior."

Gu Han thought for a moment.

"Actually, you're also a straightforward person, never coercing me with the token. I respect that!"

"No need for flattery."

Murong Chuan smiled, "I'm just acting according to family rules. Besides, I, Murong Chuan, am not one to hold petty grudges. This small favor, I helped as it was convenient, but if you really want me to take action, you'll still need to use the token!"

Old fox!

Little fox!

The two exchanged smiles, each giving the other a fair assessment.

"Senior."

Gu Han bowed.

"I'm going to check on Ah-Sha; she should be waking up soon."

"Right."

Murong Chuan's face took on a strange expression.

"Did you... choose Mei Yun as your Instructor?"

"That..."

Gu Han braced himself.

"Yes!"

"Hehe, take care!"

Gu Han: ...

...

Heavenly Grade Room.

Ah-Sha was sleeping soundly, a droplet of saliva at the corner of her mouth, giving her an endearing look.

Gu Han gently touched her head.

All the displeasure and gloom in his heart instantly swept away.

"Umm..."@@novelbin@@

As if sensing Gu Han's presence.

Ah-Sha's eyelashes fluttered lightly, and she slowly woke up.

"Young Master!"

Seeing Gu Han, she immediately hugged him, refusing to let go.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Han sensed something was off.

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha's little head buried in Gu Han's chest.

"I... had another dream."

A dream?

Gu Han's heart sank.

This was the third time she mentioned it.

The first two times.

He wasn't too concerned.

But this time... he had a vague sense of something wrong.

Suddenly.

The words of Shadow earlier flashed through his mind.

The Eyes of Truth bloodline, when fully matured, could see through the past and future, understand all kinds of causality... Could it be that what Ah-Sha saw was a glimpse of the future?

"Ah-Sha."

He suppressed the unease in his heart.

"What dream did you have?"

"So many people..."

Ah-Sha lifted her little face, murmuring, "So many people were chasing Young Master, I... I got very angry, glared at them fiercely, and then I fell asleep... When I woke up, Young Master... Young Master was gone!"

...

Gu Han fell silent.

This dream was more detailed than the previous two.

He couldn't determine whether it was just a dream Ah-Sha had, or... a glimpse of the future?

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha held on even tighter.

"I don't want to leave you."

"Silly girl."

Gu Han took a deep breath.

"That's just a dream, it can't be taken seriously. I can assure you, we will never be separated!"

"Okay!"

Silly girl.

Whether it's a dream or the future.

In this life, I will never let you leave me!

Even if the dream is real, even if you really leave me, I will traverse every corner of the world... to find you and bring you back!

"Hungry?"

With that thought.

His mood gradually calmed down.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"Okay!"

Ah-Sha perked up.

"Young Master, I want to eat... Huh?"

She stopped mid-sentence.

Her delicate brows suddenly furrowed, staring motionlessly at Gu Han.

"Young Master, why is there a layer of black aura around you?"

"Black aura?"

Gu Han was startled.

"How could that be, I've never..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

He suddenly remembered the uncomfortable feeling when he chose Mei Yun as his Instructor.

Could it be...

His face suddenly turned pale.

This legend of the Unlucky Person... couldn't be true, could it?

"Ah-Sha."

He forced a smile, "You... look again, did you see it wrong?"

"No."

Ah-Sha's little face was full of seriousness.

"It's a layer of black aura, just faint, it seems not to affect Young Master much."

Phew...

Gu Han subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Not a big impact?

That's good, that's good!

Originally, he thought of going back to the Martial Academy to interact with Instructor Mei Yun and also to collect his reward after getting the Falling Ghost Fruit.

But now...

He wouldn't go there even if he was killed!

The farther away from this Heavenly Destroyer Lone Star, the better!

"Huh?"

Ah-Sha noticed something else.

"Young Master, you have a Storage Ring too?"

"This..."

Gu Han's heart stirred.

"Ah-Sha, see if there's anything inside this?"

Saying so.

He took out the fist-sized Mysterious Stone.

"Umm..."

Ah-Sha glanced at it.

"There's something black inside, I don't know what it is."

After a moment's hesitation.

Gu Han applied a little force and crushed the Mysterious Stone to pieces.

After shedding the stone shell, a thumb-sized, dull iron piece fell into his hand, looking like a part of a magical treasure that was missing.

Looking at Ah-Sha, who was somewhat puzzled.

He felt a bit emotional.

This time... he might be about to strike it rich!

Taking Ah-Sha's little hand, ready to take her treasure hunting, Qian Liu's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Brother Gu."

"The Seventh Prince has arrived, I wonder..."

Jiang Feng?

Gu Han was startled, then reacted.

"Let him in."

Saying so.

He then opened the prohibitions of the outer room.

"Brother Gu."

The first to enter was Jiang Feng.

He looked worried.

"Earlier you left suddenly, did something happen?"

"Tsk tsk."

The second to enter was Fatty.

He scanned the room and pursed his lips.

"That's it?"

"Hmph!"

The third to enter.

Was Manager Li, with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

He was furious.

All the way here, he had been bickering with Fatty and consistently lost, naturally building up a stomach full of anger.

He never expected.

Fatty's mouth was even more damaging than Gu Han's.

The words he said were even more unbearable.

"Huh?"

Before Gu Han could speak.

Ah-Sha noticed something amiss.

To read the uncut version, go to ].

"Young Master."

She quietly tugged at Gu Han.

"The Seventh Prince seems to have a black aura too."

...

Gu Han was speechless.

After spending so much time with Mei Yun, how could he not?

"Ah!"

Seeing Fatty.

Ah-Sha suddenly widened her eyes.

"He has it too! It seems... even more than you and the Seventh Prince!"

"But..."

She looked at Manager Li.

"He doesn't have it, his face is just very black."

Hearing this.

Manager Li's face turned even blacker.

All of them had cultivation and could hear every word clearly, even though Ah-Sha spoke softly.

"Little maid."

Fatty immediately became unsettled, his face turning pale, and he forced a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? What black aura? Stop joking!"

"No."

Ah-Sha shook her head, her little face full of sincerity.

"I feel... you're about to die."
