Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Fujia Pavilion.

Feng Yuncai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, hosted a banquet for Zhao Wujiang and others. At the banquet, there was laughter and everyone exchanged glasses.

Feng Yuncai and Liu Qingshan kept toasting to invite Zhao Wujiang, talking about the future development of the chamber of commerce to the new honorary president of the chamber of commerce.

After Feng Xueer drank several glasses of wine, her pretty face became more and more rosy, and her behavior became bolder. She kept exhaling at Zhao Wujiang and asking questions like orchid.

The wine was in full swing and everyone was enjoying themselves. Qi Lin invited Li Yuanzheng to have a discussion.

As a swordsman, when Qi Lin first learned about the identity of Li Yuanzheng next to Zhao Wujiang, he was itchy and wanted to have a few blows with Li Yuanzheng.

But the situation was not right at that time. Now at the banquet, he was so drunk that he felt heroic and jumped up to invite Li Yuanzheng.

The two sword masters used wooden chopsticks as swords and started a sparring match. The sword energy in the palace was like the wind. Qi Lin launched an offensive like a torrential rain, while Li Yuanzheng responded with an airtight defense.

An assassin, an escort, an attacker, and a defender.

The superb competition between the two attracted applause from the whole hall, while Zhao Wujiang pointed his sword at the same time, learning the gestures under the table and chair, first gaining his shape, and gradually gaining his momentum.

After a cup of tea, Qi Lin and Li Yuanzheng ended in a draw. After all, they were just competing with each other, not life-and-death enemies.

After admiring each other, the two of them returned to their seats, raised their glasses and drank again.

"Brother Zhao, Yuan Zheng has a toast for you." Li Yuanzheng filled the glass with wine and raised his glass:

"The rivers and lakes are vast. Not all of us in the rivers and lakes are free from worries. There are many people like Brother Yuanzheng who no longer travel in the rivers and lakes and are scattered in every corner of Daxia.

I only heard his name, but never saw him, let alone wanted to meet and discuss with him again.

If it weren’t for Brother Zhao, Yi Yuan’s righteous character might not be able to make friends with talents like Brother Qi, so I’d like to toast you with this cup!”

After speaking, Li Yuanzheng drank it all in one gulp.

Qi Lin also raised a toast to Zhao Wujiang, and his words had roughly the same meaning as Li Yuanzheng.

The hall was filled with joy again.

...

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Wujiang and Li Yuanzheng walked together and returned to his residence, Xingqingyuan, at the foot of the imperial city.

Li Yuanzheng smelled of alcohol, but his mind was sober, and there was a hint of worry on his wine-red cheeks.

Zhao Wujiang discovered that Li Yuanzheng was preoccupied early on, but there were many people at the banquet, so he was very attentive and worried that Li Yuanzheng's affairs would not be enough to tell others.

"Yuan Zheng, I think you have something on your mind, but I don't know why?" Zhao Wujiang asked calmly.

Li Yuanzheng's eyes flashed:

"To be honest with Brother Zhao, Yuan Zheng is worried about the master's sword...

I went to ask two days ago and the sword was auctioned off by someone, but the auction house did not tell me who it was for the sake of confidentiality."

Why didn't you ask Feng Yuncai at today's banquet? Why didn't you ask me? Zhao Wujiang held his forehead, and Li Yuanzheng, as the sixteenth swordsman, was almost the same as Qi Lin, but maybe it was the difference in their personalities and conduct that led to the two.

People's current situations are very different.

Qi Lin is more sociable, while Li Yuanzheng is more dull and silent.

"Dragon Fault is actually in my hands." Zhao Wujiang shook his head and smiled, opening the wooden box containing the Dragon Fault Broken Sword, revealing a three-foot Qingfeng inside.

"What?" Li Yuanzheng was shocked. The Master's Dragon Fault Sword that he and his junior sister were looking for actually fell into the hands of Zhao Wujiang.

He patted his head and secretly thought that he was confused. With Brother Zhao's relationship with Feng Yuncai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, why didn't he ask at first?

But at the same time, he felt a sense of joy in his heart and did not ask in front of everyone, because this Dragon Fault Sword was not simple. Compared with others, he, Li Yuanzheng, only fully believed in Zhao Wujiang at the moment.

Li Yuanzheng looked excited and stroked the Broken Dragon Sword with trembling hands.

When he touched the broken part of the sword, the sadness in his eyes finally couldn't be suppressed, and the past time spent with the master and his little junior sister in the master's sect came to mind one by one.

At the same time, a trace of hatred also surged into his heart, and he must kill his master's enemies with his own hands.

Zhao Wujiang quietly watched Li Yuanzheng stroking the sword with his trembling hands. He knew that Li Yuanzheng was a person who valued emotions, so he sighed softly:

"Yuan Zheng, please put this sword away."

"Brother Zhao?" Li Yuanzheng looked at Zhao Wujiang in disbelief. Although the Dragon Fault Sword was broken, Zhao Wujiang had to pay a high price to auction it. How could he keep it as his own?

He was extremely grateful for Zhao Wujiang's actions. He naturally wanted this sword, but he still shook his head and said seriously:

"Brother Zhao, this sword in my hand will only be covered in dust.

The master once said that this sword is suitable for those who are bold and heroic.

Yuan Zheng has been working as a escort for many years and has lost his will to be sharp in pursuit of stability. After his mother passed away, he has lost his will to stand up and resist in the face of the powerful. I am not worthy of this Dragon Palace Sword."

Li Yuanzheng covered the wooden box, with a serious look on his face that Zhao Wujiang had never seen before:

"Although this sword has been broken, Brother Zhao must not underestimate it.
