I Have A Sword

Chapter 402: Killing One's Father

Xu Bin's sudden death caused panic and chaos. Although Ye Guan and Mu Wanyu were already more than ten meters away, some people still looked at Ye Guan. In the crowd, only Ye Guan had a motive for murder. Of course, there was no evidence.

Mu Wanyu held Ye Guan's hand tightly without saying a word.

Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Why are you so quiet?"

Mu Wanyu looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Did you kill him?"

Ye Guan nodded. Mu Wanyu had already guessed it, but hearing Ye Guan admit it still made Mu Wanyu tremble involuntarily.

"Why?" Mu Wanyu asked.

Ye Guan calmly said, "To eliminate a possible danger."

Mu Wanyu's voice trembled as she said, "Did you kill him because he liked me?"

Ye Guan didn't say anything in response.

"I-I had already rejected him! Why did you kill him? Why did you kill an innocent person?"

Ye Guan pondered briefly before sighing. He let go of Mu Wanyu's hand and said, "Miss Mu, I truly appreciate your care toward me all this while, and I wish you well in your future endeavors."

Ye Guan turned around and left without any explanation. Of course, it wasn't like Ye Guan didn't want to explain. Mu Wanyu had directly criticized him instead of asking him for the reason behind his decisive action.

Ye Guan knew that an explanation would be useless, so he decided to leave.

Mu Wanyu stood by herself in a daze, and there was a sense of profound loss in her heart.

Ye Guan got into the secretary's car, and the car drove away. Ye Guan looked out the window, feeling complicated. Mu Wanyu's reaction wasn't strange in his eyes. After all, they belonged to two different worlds. The way they handled things was markedly different from each other. Kindness to enemies was ruthless to oneself—this was a universal law in Ye Guan's world.

Mu Wanyu soon recovered from her daze and ran out of the school grounds, but Ye Guan was missing. Mu Wanyu stared blankly into space as panic slowly filled her heart.

Just then, a woman and a middle-aged man walked up to Mu Wanyu from behind.

The woman was dressed in a tight-fitting uniform, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her face was cold, and her appearance was no less stunning than Mu Wanyu's appearance, but her temperament was completely different from Mu Wanyu's.

The woman exuded a cold aura capable of intimidating anyone.

The middle-aged man was tall and muscular, and he looked intimidating. He gave off the impression that he was capable of knocking out a tiger with a single punch.

The middle-aged man stared at Mu Wanyu before taking out an identification card.

"Miss Mu, we're from the Dragon Group, and we would like to talk to you."

Mu Wanyu seemed confused. Soon, Mu Wanyu found herself in a room inside the academy. The woman sat down in front of Mu Wanyu and placed a smartphone in front of the latter.

"Whose phone is that?" Mu Wanyu asked.

The cold woman remained silent.

The middle-aged man explained, "Miss Mu, that's Xu Bin's phone."

Mu Wanyu frowned. "Xu Bin's?"

"We looked into his phone and found that he made a call about an hour ago..." The middle-aged man said. He picked up the smartphone, and soon Xu Bin's voice echoed from the phone. "You guys should just wait outside. If that woman doesn't accept my confession, I'll force myself on her tonight and wipe away that prideful demeanor of hers."

Mu Wanyu was shocked.

The middle-aged man looked at Mu Wanyu and asked, "Miss Mu, Xu Bin's killer is that young man who came with you today, right?"

Mu Wanyu shook her head, but her hands trembled ever so slightly.

Before the middle-aged man could ask more questions, the cold woman took out a tablet and presented it to Mu Wanyu.

A video was playing on the tablet, and it depicted Mu Wanyu, Jiu'er, and Ye Guan. It wasn't strange that the cold woman had this recording, as the school grounds were riddled with surveillance cameras.

The cold woman stared at Mu Wanyu and said, "When Xu Bin expressed his love to you, this young man showed no intentions to kill. However, he intentionally dropped a chopstick.

"When he pulled you away, he turned around to stare at Xu Bin. Now, look at this—look at Xu Bin's face here."

Mu Wanyu stared at Xu Bin's face in the video.

The cold woman continued. "Xu Bin's eyes were full of killing intent here."

The cold woman put the tablet away and stood up. "Miss Mu, it has become clear to us that you don't know his true identity and strength, but I can tell you that he's extremely dangerous. He also knows to eliminate all possible dangers."

Mu Wanyu trembled uncontrollably as she looked up at the cold woman.

The cold woman asked, "What's wrong?"

"His answer was the same as yours." Mu Wanyu's voice trembled as she explained, "I asked him why he did it, and he told me that he did it to eliminate all possible dangers."

The cold woman frowned slightly and asked, "How did you respond?"

Mu Wanyu shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes.

The cold woman stared at Mu Wanyu and shook her head. "You two are not from the same world."

She then stood up and turned to leave with the middle-aged man. However, she seemed to have recalled something as she stopped and stared at the ring on Mu Wanyu's finger.

"That ring..." she muttered.

Mu Wanyu lowered her head, and she looked like she had lost her soul as she muttered blankly, "He gave it to me."

The cold woman stared intently at Mu Wanyu and said, "The ring on your hand is a legendary interspatial ring, and it's extremely precious. Hide it. In fact, you shouldn't wear it because you'll only bring trouble upon yourself by doing so."

With that, she finally left with the middle-aged man.

Mu Wanyu looked down at the ring on her finger and started crying.

...

The middle-aged man looked at the cold woman and asked, "Should we go after him?"

The cold woman's name was Xiao Xiao, and she shook her head, saying, "He's extremely dangerous, and we have no idea of his identity. It's going to be too dangerous for us to chase after him. Stay here, I'll go and meet him openly."

"Didn't you just say that he's dangerous?" asked the middle-aged man.

"He's dangerous, but he's not the type of person to kill randomly," Xiao Xiao calmly replied, "If Xu Bin hadn't shown him killing intent, he would have lived. Anyway, I'll go ahead and meet him."

Xiao Xiao left without waiting for the middle-aged man's reply.

...

Xiao Xue glanced at Ye Guan through the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Ye, are we heading back to Purple County?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No."

"Where are we going?" Xiao Xue asked.

Ye Guan thought about it before replying, "Let’s go to Yanjing."

Yanjing?! Xiao Xue was so stunned that she accidentally stepped harder on the accelerator and almost collided with the car in front of her. She quickly slowed down and said, "Mr. Ye, we can't take this car to Yanjing."

Ye Guan was confused. "Why not?"

Xiao Xue replied, "There's not enough gas."

"Not enough gas?" Ye Guan asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Xue had no idea what to say. Mr. Ye looked perfectly fine, but he would sometimes say the weirdest things. Of course, Xiao Xue wasn't really surprised, as she was aware of how it hadn't been that long since Ye Guan had been involved in an accident.

Xiao Xue patiently explained and finally understood the identity of gas. Gas was like spiritual energy. Cultivators needed spiritual energy as sustenance, while cars needed gas.

Xiao Xue then said, "Mr. Ye, Yanjing is very far from here, and we'll need to take a flight to get there. Moreover, you don't have an identification card. You have to resolve that issue first before anything else."

"Okay." Ye Guan nodded. He was a bit reluctant, but he had no choice but to compromise. After all, there was truly no other way but to wait. It wasn't like could hop onto his sword and fly to Yanjing.

Wait, fly on my sword? Ye Guan's eyes widened, and he asked, "Miss, where can I buy a sword here?"

Xiao Xue glanced at Ye Guan through the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Ye, do you want to buy a sword?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Give me a moment," Xiao Xue said and looked up something on her smartphone.

"Found it!" she exclaimed.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Xiao Xue replied.

Xiao Xue brought Ye Guan to a manor.

Ye Guan looked up at the manor named Ten Thousand Swords Manor and saw two colossal swords standing up right at the entrance of the manor.

Xiao Xue decided to wait outside for Ye Guan.

Ye Guan walked into the manor, and an old man greeted him. The old man appeared to be in his twilight years, but he seemed as spirited as a middle-aged man. He stared at Ye Guan and asked, "Sir, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm here to buy a sword," Ye Guan said.

The old man looked at him and asked, "You're here to buy a sword?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The old man shook his head and replied, "The swords here aren't for sale."

Ye Guan was stunned.

The old man smiled. "The swords here are a part of my personal collection, and I'm not selling them."

"I see," Ye Guan said and turned around to leave.

The old man called out, "Wait!"

Ye Guan turned to look at the old man.

The old man asked, "Are you familiar with swords?"

"I wouldn't say that," Ye Guan shook his head and said, "But I do know how to wield one."

The old man grew excited. "You know how to wield a sword?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Can you show me?" the old man asked.

Ye Guan stared deeply at the old man and replied, "Of course."

The old man was about to fetch a sword when a woman walked out from the inner courtyard. She was dressed in a white gown, and her face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of clear and bright eyes.

Ye Guan was surprised to see her because her attire closely resembled what women wore in the Guanxuan Universe.

The woman was holding two swords, and she walked slowly to the old man. The old man picked up one sword, and the woman approached Ye Guan, holding the other sword.

She looked at Ye Guan, and her rosy lips slightly parted to say, "Please."

Ye Guan smiled faintly. "Thank you."

He reached out to take the sword from the woman.

Once his hand gripped the hilt, he closed his eyes. I'm finally holding a sword again!

A surge of fury suddenly welled in Ye Guan's heart.

He was furious that he was being suppressed in his own territory!

It was a complete and utter humiliation!

What if he simply accepted the fact that the culprit was stronger than him?

No! Ye Guan suddenly looked up.

"Regardless of your identity, I'm going to kill you today!" He roared and slashed out with the sword in his hand. A terrifying Sword Intent took to the sky, and it seemed capable of tearing apart both heaven and earth.

On a lakeside somewhere, a man in white suddenly came to a halt.

He looked up and sensed an overwhelming battle intent targeted toward him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face instantly darkened upon hearing Ye Guan's declaration, "How dare you say that you'll kill your own father? You unfilial son!"

He waved his hand, and the lady in a plain skirt smiled next to him.

"Let me help you," she said and waved her hand as well.

Two mysterious torrents of energy plummeted toward the Ten Thousand Swords Manor and struck Ye Guan's Sword Intent.

Crackle!

A crisp noise akin to shattering glass echoed as Ye Guan's Sword Intent collapsed upon making contact with the domineering torrents of energy.

Ye Guan's eyes glazed over, and he looked as if he had been struck by a hammer as he slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it. So there are two of them..." Ye Guan muttered before losing consciousness.
