I Have A Sword

Chapter 401: Eliminate All Possible Dangers

The meal soon ended, and Su Zi rushed back to the Su Corporation to handle matters related to the contracts. Ye Guan couldn't be with her because he had to be with Mu Wanyu. Fortunately, Su Zi didn't mind it.

While Mu Wanyu was washing dishes, Su Zi pulled Ye Guan aside. She looked at him and whispered, "Do you know why Wanyu wants to take you to the graduation party?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

Su Zi smiled and explained, "She wants you to be her shield."

Ye Guan asked, "Shield?"

Su Zi nodded and said, "Wanyu has many admirers at school. Many guys will definitely confess to her because it would be their last chance to confess. You'll surely attract everyone's jealousy by going with her to the party."

"Does that mean I'll be targeted by others?" Ye Guan asked.

"Of course!" Su Zi chuckled and added, "Some will ask what you do, where you've made your fortune, and so on. To make matters worse, some will target you directly, opposing you at every turn. It's a cliche in many popular books!"

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile and asked, "In books, right?"

"It's even worse in reality." Su Zi smiled faintly and explained, "I'm sure everyone will show themselves off at that party, and they're all going to look down on each other. If you're doing well, they'll flatter you; if not, they'll ignore you or worse, they'll treat you as a springboard.

"In any case, you should be mentally prepared."

"Got it." Ye Guan nodded.

Su Zi handed Ye Guan an atm card and explained, "Take this. Don’t reject me. Use it when you need it, and the pin code is my birthday."

"When is your birthday?" Ye Guan asked.

Su Zi blinked and replied, "The day after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow... Ye Guan nodded and said, "Okay."

Su Zi smiled softly and muttered, "We have a custom of giving the birthday celebrant gifts on their birthday, but I don’t really need gifts. You don’t have to give me anything. Really."

Ye Guan was speechless.

"Miss!" Secretary Xiao Xue's voice echoed outside. "The directors are waiting for you!"

"It looks like I have to go now." Su Zi looked at Ye Guan and said, "See you later."

Su Zi turned and walked away.

Mu Wanyu walked over to Ye Guan and stared at him. "What did Su Zi say to you?"

"She said her birthday is on the day after tomorrow," Ye Guan replied with a smile.

"Ah, yes." Mu Wanyu smiled and added, "Su Zi has many pursuers, you know?"

"I'm here to inherit the family business." Ye Guan shook his head with a smile.

"Family business?" Mu Wanyu looked baffled, but a look of comprehension soon suffused her face as she exclaimed, "Ah! I know! You're here to inherit the Milky Way!"

"Yes, that's right!" Ye Guan replied.

Mu Wanyu giggled before saying, "Wait for me here; I'm going to change clothes."

Ye Guan nodded. "Alright."

Mu Wanyu then returned to her room.

Ye Guan walked up to the window and opened his palm, revealing a chopstick. He had gathered enough profound energy to unleash at least three sword moves from the low-quality spirit stones he had obtained recently.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't use the True Tree and the Divine Tree of Nature inside of him, as the seal was just too strong. Unfortunately, Ye Guan wasn't exactly sure of his current strength, as he had never really encountered people who could be considered powerful so far. Of course, it didn't really matter to Ye Guan.

The stronger one was, the stronger the seal would be on them. In other words, there was no way Ye Guan would stumble upon a cultivator ten realms above him.

Could it be a seal his father and his aunt had jointly placed on the Blue Planet?

It was a thought that came to mind when Ye Guan recalled that there were only a few people capable of suppressing him: his plain-skirt aunt, his father, the True God, and the Great Daoist Brush Master. The latter was being suppressed by Ye Guan's plain-skirt aunt, so there was no way he was the culprit behind the seal on the entire Blue Planet.

How about the True God? There was a chance that the seal belonged to her, but Ye Guan felt that the seal had more likely come from his father. How come Ye Guan reached that conclusion? He hadn't deduced it; it was more like his instinct was telling him that the seal had come from his father.

Just then, the door to Mu Wanyu's room opened and out came Mu Wanyu.

Ye Guan's eyes lit up when he saw Mu Wanyu.

Mu Wanyu was wearing a modest light purple dress that showed her snow-white collarbone and arms. Her long dress didn't cover her legs, which were as white as snow; overall, Ye Guan thought that Mu Wanyu was exceptionally beautiful.

Su Zi's style screamed coldness and lethality, while Mu Wanyu's style screamed delicateness and grace. She exuded an air of tenderness and shyness hidden beneath her facade of elegance.

Mu Wanyu blushed upon sensing Ye Guan's gaze.

"Do I look great?" she asked, and she clenched her fists unconsciously.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "I've read thousands of books, yet I can't find words to describe your beauty. At first, I thought I simply hadn't read enough books, but I was mistaken. I've just realized that there simply are no words to describe your beauty."

Mu Wanyu was stupefied, and her cheeks became even redder as she rolled her eyes at Ye Guan.

"Surely you exaggerate..." she muttered, but she was extremely pleased.

"I think I'm going to back out," Ye Guan said with a sigh.

Mu Wanyu was astonished. "Why?"

"You're so beautiful. Won't I become your pursuers' public enemy number one if I were to go there with you?" Ye Guan replied.

"Oh? Are you scared?" Mu Wanyu teased.

"I'm not afraid!" Ye Guan exclaimed and then chuckled. "I'm not afraid of anyone other than my father and grandfather—ah, I'm afraid of my aunt as well."

"You're afraid of them? Why?" Mu Wanyu blinked and asked, "Are they very fierce?"

"Not really. It's more like they're too strong for me to beat," Ye Guan replied.

"Oh, so they're strong?" Mu Wanyu asked with a smile.

"Extremely." Ye Guan nodded grimly and said, "They're extremely strong."

"Who would win if you were to fight them?" Mu Wanyu asked.

Ye Guan hesitated. He wanted to be shameless, but he remembered that his father and aunt were also in the Milky Way, so he replied, "The fathers are kind, and the sons are loyal in our family. We never fight with each other, and we get along exceptionally well."

Mu Wanyu smiled. She wanted to ask more questions, but Ye Guan said, "Let’s go."

"Okay." Mu Wanyu nodded.

The two went downstairs and found Secretary Xiao Xue waiting for them.

Xiao Xue smiled and explained, "Mr. Ye, Miss Su has told us to escort you two."

How thoughtful of her. Ye Guan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

Ye Guan and Mu Wanyu got into the car, and the secretary got into the driver's seat.

Mu Wanyu looked out of the window, sounding a bit reluctant as she said, "I guess we'll really leave this city soon."

"Are you looking forward to going to Yanjing?" Ye Guan asked.

Mu Wanyu turned to look at Ye Guan and asked, "What about you?"

Ye Guan nodded. "I'm looking forward to it."

Mu Wanyu smiled and asked, "Why?"

"The person I'm looking for might be in Yanjing," replied Ye Guan.

Mu Wanyu asked, "The Boundless Master?"

Ye Guan shook his head and replied, "A woman."

Mu Wanyu frowned slightly. "A woman?"

Ye Guan nodded and turned to look out of the window. He had no idea how Cishu, Cirou, Ji Xuan, and Qianqian were doing. He wasn't worried about their safety. After all, the Milky Way was his territory.

"The truth sounds like a lie, and the lies sound like the truth when you speak. I'm struggling to tell whether you're lying or not," Mu Wanyu grumbled.

"My life here has been the most peaceful life I've ever had," Ye Guan smiled. "My life before I came here had been extremely exhausting. It was either I was in the middle of a fight or I was about to fight someone. It feels really great how I no longer have to ignite my fleshly body and soul just to survive."

Hearing that, Mu Wanyu grabbed Ye Guan's hand, feeling guilty. Ye Guan wouldn't have such delusions if she hadn't accidentally hit him with her car.

"I think you should no longer think about the hardships you've experienced in the past. If you like it here, then stay here and live well. People should always be looking forward to their future," Mu Wanyu said.

"All right." Ye Guan smiled. He was already here, so Ye Guan decided to make the best out of his situation here.

Just then, Ye Guan recalled something and asked, "Where do I buy weapons here? By weapons, I mean like a sword."

"Do you want to play with a sword?" asked Mu Wanyu.

Ye Guan nodded. The chopsticks were working so far, but he still preferred a sword. He was a swordsman, after all. Moreover, swords were cooler than chopsticks.

"I'll bring you to buy one after this party," Mu Wanyu said.

Ye Guan smiled. "Okay."

They soon arrived at Qiannan Academy. Qiannan Academy was the best university in Baiyun City, and it produced many talents every year. The graduates of Qiannan Academy all went on to achieve great success in their careers, so Qiannan Academy had a huge influence in Baiyun City.

Most importantly, the Milky Way Academy only accepts students from Qiannan University throughout the entire Qianzhou region of Huaxia, and the Milky Way Academy was the dream academy of all students in Huaxia.

The pair alighted, and Mu Wanyu led Ye Guan into the school. If today were an ordinary day, Ye Guan wouldn't have been allowed entry, but today was graduation day, so he was allowed entry into the school.

As expected, they attracted many eyes as soon as they entered the school grounds! The men's gazes were on Mu Wanyu, while the women's gazes were on Ye Guan, which wasn't strange, as Ye Guan was still pretty impressive in the looks department.

Mu Wanyu sensed the women's gazes, and she grabbed Ye Guan's hand, surprising Ye Guan.

Mu Wanyu blushed slightly and explained. "There's a custom in Milky Way about how a student should hold the hand of their partner in the graduation ceremony and party."

Ye Guan had no idea what to say to that. "..."

Just then, a young woman shouted, "Wanyu!"

The young woman looked to be the same age as Mu Wanyu. She was wearing a dress as well and had her hair up in a ponytail. She was beautiful, and she exuded a heroic aura that contrasted Mu Wanyu.

Mu Wanyu smiled upon seeing the young woman. "Jiu'er!"

Jiu'er walked up to Mu Wanyu, and her gaze fell on Ye Guan.

"Is he the handsome guy you mentioned?" she asked.

Mu Wanyu looked at Ye Guan and smiled. "Yes, handsome, right?"

Jiu'er examined Ye Guan from top to bottom and chuckled. "Yes, he's handsome!"

Ye Guan smiled lightly and greeted, "Hello, Miss Jiu'er, it's nice to meet you."

"Hello!" Jiu'er greeted, "It's nice to meet you, too."

Jiu'er then looked at Mu Wanyu and said, "I think quite a few men will back off once they see that you're with him."

Mu Wanyu glanced at Ye Guan and blushed slightly.

"Let's go and take some photos!" Jiu'er exclaimed and dragged the two somewhere. Quite a few people had gathered on the school grounds; they laughed and chattered with each other while sitting on the grass.

"Wait for me here. I'll go and take some pictures with her," Mu Wanyu said, "We can have dinner afterward."

"Sure," Ye Guan replied with a smile.

Mu Wanyu nodded and walked up to Jiu'er. She positioned herself in the middle, and it wasn't strange, as she was considered the class belle.

Mu Wanyu looked extremely happy, and she was all smiles as she talked with Jiu'er standing next to her. Occasionally, she would glance at Ye Guan, but she would quickly look away with a blush on her cheeks whenever Ye Guan met her gaze.

Soon, the photo session was over.

Mu Wanyu walked up to Ye Guan and smiled.

"Let's go have dinner," she said.

Ye Guan nodded, but a young man suddenly approached Mu Wanyu with a bouquet of flowers in hand. The young man stared at Mu Wanyu with a gaze full of affection and said, "Wanyu, I like—"

Mu Wanyu grabbed Ye Guan's hand and said, "Xu Bin, I have a boyfriend."

Everyone's eyes landed on them.

The young man, Xu Bin, shook his head and said, "Wanyu, I know that he's not really your boyfriend. You just brought him here as a shield."

Hearing that, Mu Wanyu turned and kissed Ye Guan on the cheek. Her face was incredibly red as she stepped backward and dared not to meet Ye Guan's gaze.

"Woah..."

The crowd gasped at the same time.

Ye Guan was stunned as well. He didn't expect that Mu Wanyu would kiss him.

Did she just take advantage of me?

Xu Bin's face turned ugly. He wanted to say something, but Ye Guan held Mu Wanyu's hand and said with a smile, "Let’s go."

"O-okay..." Mu Wanyu nodded.

Ye Guan pulled Mu Wanyu away, but a chopstick silently fell on the grass.

Xu Bin glared sinisterly at Ye Guan and Mu Wanyu's departing figures.

Ye Guan suddenly turned to look at Xu Bin.

Xu Bin was stunned, but he then smirked menacingly with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

Swoosh!

The chopstick on the grass abruptly flew up and pierced Xu Bin's chin.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the abrupt turn of events terrified everyone.

However, Ye Guan remained calm as he pulled Mu Wanyu away. There was no way he would ever do something as stupid as letting go of someone he knew would attack him later.

Ye Guan still preferred to eliminate all possible dangers before they could threaten his life!

If he had let Xu Bin go, Xu Bin would have found a way to harm him or Mu Wanyu. Ye Guan would have no choice but to wallow in regret if that were to happen, and Ye Guan was well aware of that, which was why he would never allow it to happen.
