Chapter 567 Yuan

The news of Xu Han taking over as the Sword Handling Pavilion's Pavilion Master quickly spread throughout the Horizontal Imperial City.

Although this result was beyond everyone's expectations, neither the Sword Handler of the Sword Pavilion nor the spectators were surprised by it.

With Xiao Anaconda's biased attitude towards Xu Han from the very beginning, Coupled with Xu Han's repeated deeds of clearing the obstacles for the Sword Handling Pavilion, the title of Pavilion Master was not as unacceptable as they had imagined. At least, compared to Xu Han's Heavenly Hunt Realm cultivation, Luo Mo was powerless to retaliate, the title of Pavilion Master was still within the scope that everyone could understand.

If there was really something that was hard for everyone to accept, it was probably why the Pavilion Master was not Nangong Jing, who everyone had hoped to see before, but Xu Han, who had killed him halfway through.

However, as the main leader, Nangong Jing had yet to show any dissatisfaction with this. He even cooperated fully with the new Xu Han's orders. Even if the others had 10,000 doubts and dissatisfaction in their hearts, they still had to suppress them at this moment.

As for Xu Han, he didn't disappoint the crowd. On the first day he took over as Pavilion Master, there was a big commotion. At first, the lightning power listed the dereliction of duty of the swordsmen of several sects, and drove all the dissident swordsmen out of the Swordsmanship Pavilion. Of course, this would inevitably leave some fish out of the net, but at least most of the swordsmen who leaned towards the Crimson Firmament Sect were driven out by Xu Han through this trap. As a result, the strength of the Sword Handling Pavilion was severely damaged. Apart from Nangong Jing and Yan Zhan, there were less than ten golden-robed swordsmen left, while the number of silver-robed swordsmen was about 120. There were a few more bronze-robed swordsmen, and there were roughly over a thousand of them. With such strength, only Sunset Cloud Valley, which had lost the Cactus Sect, could "keep pace" with Great Xia Sect.

But even so, Xu Han's determination to cut off these swordsmen was exceptionally resolute. It could even be said that he was merciless. Every swordsman from the Sword Handling Pavilion that he had eliminated had their Essence Demonic Energy mercilessly taken away by Xu Han. This kind of loss was clearly not something that the swordsmen, especially the small group of people who had reached the Great Evolution Realm and had the intention to break through to the Immortal Realm, were willing to accept.

After being kicked out of the Sword Handling Pavilion, the vast and mighty 100 plus people actually surrounded the Sword Handling Pavilion, clamoring for Xu Han to explain. If Xu Han were to pull on a piece of cloth, he would be like a cook who was in arrears with his salary, asking the black-hearted shopkeeper for wages.

…

Although both the matter of cutting off the swordsman and the matter of surrounding the Swordsmanship Pavilion had caused a stir in the Horizontal Imperial City these past few days, Xu Han, as the initiator of all of this, did not have the slightest bit of consciousness as a party involved.

At this moment, he was leisurely sitting in his courtyard with Ye Hongjian, and a chessboard was placed in front of them.

Xu Han kept his words, while Ye Hongjian kept his words black.

At this moment, as Bai Zi landed, Xu Han frowned as he looked at the chessboard. On the chessboard, Bai Zi had the appearance of a dragon. It seemed to be aggressive, but Blackie had broken his life door. If this continued, Blackie would become a dragon slaying force within ten steps.

Ye Hongjian raised her head to look at the sky, then looked at Xu Han, and then said, "It's almost dinner, isn't Pavilion Master Xu falling behind?"

Hearing this, Xu Han raised his head to look at Ye Hongjian. The woman with a picturesque face was currently holding her cheeks in one hand, her eyes curved up, and she looked at him with a smile.

Xu Han smiled helplessly and gently put the white man back in his hand. Then, he respectfully cupped his hands towards Ye Hongjian and said, "Miss Ye's weiqi skills are superb, and this junior is willing to kneel down."

This was already the fifth game of chess today. Xu Han didn't understand this at all. How could he be Ye Hongjian's opponent? In the end, he was completely defeated in one day.

After saying that, Xu Han made a move to put away the chess pieces and prepare for the next round. Seeing this, Ye Hongjian glanced at the youth with a calm brow. Then, she stood up and said, "Forget it, let's call it a day."

Xu Han was stunned. He thought that he had done something that made the other party unhappy. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"You said that?" Hearing this, Ye Hongjian rolled her eyes at Xu Han angrily and said, "I'm not good at chess, and I'm still thinking nonsense. It's weird that you can beat me."

Xu Han's face instantly turned red. He was indeed a little absent-minded. The answer he saw from the book that day had always circled in Xu Han's mind like a nightmare. He had the intention to suppress it, but that thing would occasionally appear in Xu Han's mind like a maggot from a tarsal bone, causing him to feel distracted.

Xu Han, who was stabbed into his mind, felt that he was in the wrong and was about to find some words to placate Ye Hongjian, but before he could say anything, Ye Hongjian's voice sounded at that moment.

"Accompany me for a walk. It seems that you don't have the mood to play chess anymore."

Hearing this, Xu Han naturally replied hurriedly, saving himself the effort of racking his brains to find an excuse.

The two of them walked side by side in a charming atmosphere. Very quickly, they arrived at the martial arts arena that Yan Zhan had specially invited people to open in the manor. There, Nineteen and Su Muan were competing over something.

"Tell me, what exactly did you see in that book yesterday?" Ye Hongjian suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction where Su Muan and Nineteen were.

Xu Han's expression changed at that time. He didn't tell anyone about the Heavenly Record. How could Ye Hongjian know about this? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast a puzzled gaze at the girl.

Seemingly sensing this, Ye Hongjian's face flushed red. She did not dare to look at Xu Han. Her gaze still landed on Su Muan and Nineteen, who were not far away. Then, she said in a natural tone, "Me too… I care about you…"

Xu Han looked at Ye Hongjian, whose complexion was getting redder and redder because of his lack of confidence, and did not blame him.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but the answer is a bit too strange."

"What is it?" Ye Hongjian turned her head and blinked.

At this time, not far away, Su Muan and Nineteen seemed to have an argument. The two little fellows' tender voices came from not far away.

"I told you not to talk to me!"

"How can I teach you kung fu without mentioning me?"

"Then I don't care. If you kiss me, you'll be responsible to me. You'll have to teach me martial arts."

"But how should I teach him?"

"That's yours. Anyway, my master said that you can't talk to a macheteman surnamed Su!"

"Why? I don't know your master."

"Because … because …" The little girl blushed. After thinking for a long time, she could not say why. In the end, she could only stomp her foot and say, "Because Master said, he is eighteen, I am nineteen, we are all changing, but the one surnamed Su will not change. If I tell you too much, nineteen will not live to twenty!"

…

The conversation between the two little fellows was always so nonsensical that people couldn't figure it out. Hearing this, Xu Han only smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.

He looked at Ye Hongjian and continued the previous topic, "The answer is only one word."

"What word?"

"Yuan."
