At dusk the next day, Aotian smoothly entered Xilan City. But instead of going to the Swordsmith's Guild immediately, he found an inn in the city to rest for the night, and only left the inn early the next morning to go to the Swordsmith's Guild branch.

Before leaving, Aotian also asked the innkeeper for the address of the Sword Forger's Guild branch.

As the largest city in the Central Plains Province, the prosperity of Xilan City is indeed not comparable to that of Aojia City, early in the morning, the streets are already full of traffic, full of people, a prosperous scene.

Following the address told by the innkeeper, Aotian soon arrived at the Swordsmith's Guild branch, which was located in the most prosperous area in the west of the city.

The Swordsmith's Guild Chapter is a single-standing, three-story building with a grand and royal appearance, and a golden sword emblem on a circular plaque on the building stands out. It can't help but attract passers-by and cast awe-inspiring glances.

At the entrance of the guild, two burly guards in armor guarded there, looking mighty and unyielding.

Glancing at the guild plaque, Aotian walked towards the gate of the guild.

"This is the Swordsmiths' Guild, is there anything wrong with you?" a guard on the left side of the door stopped Aotian and asked with a serious face.

"I'm here to test the qualifications of a swordsmith!" Aotian replied truthfully.

Hearing this, the two guards both showed surprise on their faces, and they glanced at each other, their eyes full of disbelief and ridicule.

In the eyes of the two of them, Aotian's age is only eighteen or nineteen, and it is estimated that he is not even a martial artist at this age, but to become a swordsmith, not to mention the requirements for spiritual power, even the blood and qi level must at least reach the level of a martial artist.

But the kid in front of him actually said that he was here to assess the qualifications of the swordsmith, and he really "has any forest when the bird is big".

Aotian naturally saw the distrust of the two of them, and also knew why the two of them didn't believe their words.

So he shook his head helplessly, raised his right hand slightly, and a dazzling thunderbolt energy suddenly appeared on his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I rely on this energy to refine the sword!"

"Thunder and lightning energy!" Seeing the thunder and lightning energy in Aotian's hand, the two guards suddenly widened their eyes in surprise, they didn't know that the thunder and lightning energy was Xuanqi, so they thought that Aotian was using blood qi to attract the thunder and lightning energy from the outside world.

And those who can do this are at least at the level of the Martial King.

Although it was hard to believe how a man of this age in front of them could be a martial king, the two of them did not dare to question it anymore, and immediately became extremely respectful, and the person who spoke before bowed down and said, "My lord, please inside!"

Shrugged slightly, Aotian walked into the door of the guild.

Entering the gate of the guild, what came into view was the well-decorated, but somewhat empty hall, there were not many people in the hall, only a few seven or eight people were busy with their work.

As if sensing that someone was coming in at the door, several of them looked up, and after looking at Aotian with a flat gaze, they didn't pay much attention to it, and lowered their heads again and continued to busy with their respective work.

But at this time, a woman with an elegant temperament walked over quickly, smiled slightly when she came to Aotian, and asked softly, "Did Your Excellency come to get the sword for the Eighth Prince?"

Hearing the woman's words, Aotian was stunned for a moment, and was about to express his intention when he heard the respectful voice of the two guards at the door: "See the elder, see Miss Mingzhu!"

Hearing the voice coming from the door, the elegant woman immediately looked at her, and immediately said to Aotian a little busy, but her attitude was quite polite: "Your Excellency, please go to the side seat and wait for a while!"

With that, the woman walked quickly to the door, and at this time, several other people in the hall also walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Aotian curiously looked at the door, but saw an old man in a gorgeous costume with gray hair, but a radiant face and a sharp gaze walking in.

Behind the old man, there was also a young woman with a pretty appearance, but with a hint of arrogance and trickery, wearing a bright red dress and a bumpy figure.

Seeing the young woman who followed the old man, her head was full of black lines, and she almost fainted depressedly.

"Damn, it's really a narrow road!"

That young woman was the one Aotian had met two days ago.

"Grow up!"

"Your Excellency, you're back!" several people in the hall greeted respectfully.

Looking at the appearance and words of those people, it is obvious that this old man should be out and has not been to this branch for a long time.

"Elder, the people of the Eighth Prince's people have already arrived, waiting over there!" the woman who had spoken to Aotian before pointed to where Aotian was and said in a deep voice.

"Well, tell him to wait a while, and I'll go and refine the sword for him!" the old man glanced at Aotian casually and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the elegant woman nodded.

But at this moment, the woman in red who was following behind the old man also glanced at Aotian in the distance casually, her eyes suddenly froze, her eyes flashed, and she pointed at Aotian and roared: "Bastard, it's you!"

Hearing the woman in red suddenly scolding angrily, the old man and several people around couldn't help but look at her in surprise, but when they saw her pointing at Aotian, they couldn't help but be even more stunned.

"Mingzhu must not be rude!" the old man was stunned for a moment, and immediately scolded.

"Grandpa, that person is a big bastard, he killed my Bai Ling, and he held me hostage, wanting to kill me!" Ouyang Mingzhu looked aggrieved, pointed at Aotian, and complained to the old man.

At this time, Aotian, who was not far away, also knew that he had met an enemy today, and it seemed that the president of this branch was still the grandfather of his enemy, so he was sent to the door today, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to, so he could only hope that the old man would not be as arrogant and unreasonable as his granddaughter.

"This young lady, everything has cause and effect, why do you only talk about the result of the matter, but not the cause of the matter!" Aotian frowned slightly, and as he spoke, he walked towards the old man and Ouyang Mingzhu.

He knew that the matter had come to this point, it was useless to hide, not to mention that he didn't care about it, if the old man was also a very unreasonable person, he would have a big deal with them.

Hearing Aotian's words, Ouyang Mingzhu was speechless for a while, she was already at a loss, how could she dare to say the cause of the incident that day.

At this time, the old man saw Ouyang Mingzhu's weak heart, and immediately guessed in his heart that things were definitely not what Ouyang Mingzhu said.

He knows best what kind of character his granddaughter is, this girl who has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, is rude and willful on weekdays, and most of the disputes with people are provoked by her.

So after the old man groaned for a while, he looked at Aotian and asked in a deep voice, "Young man, what's going on?"

Seeing that the old man should be a reasonable person, Aotian couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, so he arched his hand to the old man and said, "Senior, that's the case, I ...... when I passed by a small town that day."

Aotian told the whole story of what happened that day, during which the woman in red wanted to interject and quibble, but was scolded by the old man and kept her mouth shut.

And the old man and several other guild people around him were quite surprised when they heard that Aotian stopped the galloping horse with a punch, and even killed the horse directly.

However, they knew that Aotian had made this decision in order to save the five children, and they respected Aotian's chivalry in their hearts.

"So that's the case!" After listening to Aotian's story, the old man's face sank, and he immediately turned his head to look at Ouyang Mingzhu and reprimanded: "Mingzhu, how can you despise other people's lives so much!"

The old man is a reasonable person, and when he heard Aotian tell the story, he naturally knew that his granddaughter was at fault first, and the so-called hijacking that happened later was also forced by his granddaughter.

And Aotian released Ouyang Mingzhu after the most reluctance, which also fully shows that Aotian was helpless at that time.

Compared with the chivalry of Aotian, his granddaughter's behavior is simply despicable, and it is really a shame for his Ouyang family.

"I, I didn't see five children on the street at that time!Then, he shouldn't have killed my Bai Ling!" Ouyang Mingzhu still refused to admit his mistake, pouting and quibbling.

"You dare to talk back, it's just a horse, it's dead when you die, people just killed your horse in order to stop you from making a big mistake, you don't appreciate people, forget it, it's quite unreasonable to kill people, you girl is getting more and more disagreeable now!"

Hearing that his grandfather not only did not speak out for himself, but spoke to outsiders and scolded himself, Ouyang Mingzhu was suddenly ashamed, and hated Aotian even more in his heart, so he glared at Aotian angrily, "hummed", stomped his feet, turned around and ran out of the guild gate.

"This girl!" Seeing Ouyang Mingzhu leave in a bad way, the old man was also helpless, so he could only look at Aotian with a wry smile, and said with some apologies: "The young man made you laugh!"

"It's okay, the younger generation has to thank the seniors for their deep understanding of righteousness!" Aotian bowed his hand respectfully, secretly admiring that the old man deserved to be the president of the guild, and he was indeed a person of fame and reason.

"By the way, young man, you take a rest here first, and I'll go and refine the sword for the Eighth Prince!" the old man said again after a change of words.

"Senior, you misunderstood, I'm not here to get any swords, I'm here to assess the qualifications of sword forgers!" Aotian said again.

"Assessing the swordsmith?" the old man's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Aotian in disbelief, while the other people around him were also full of astonishment.

None of them were blind, so they could naturally see that Aotian was about the same age as Ouyang Mingzhu, how could he be a swordsmith at such an age?

Seeing the expressions of the old man and everyone, Aotian was also helpless in his heart, so he could only raise his right hand again, and the dazzling thunder light appeared on his hand.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the old man and the people around him widened, and the surprise in their eyes turned into shock.

They really couldn't believe that the young man in front of them was able to attract outside energy.

However, the old man's words later shocked the others even more: "This is...... Xuanqi!"

As a master of sword casting, he naturally has a certain understanding of Xuan Qi, so he can see that the thunder and lightning energy in Aotian's hand is not the external energy that the Martial King powerhouse uses his blood qi to induce, but the Xuan Qi energy that is more terrifying than that kind of energy.

"The predecessor really has good eyesight!" Aotian was also surprised to see that the old man recognized his thunder and lightning energy as Xuan Qi.

"I didn't expect that there are really people in this world who can refine Xuan Qi!" The old man's eyes were full of shock, and he immediately looked at Aotian as if he had obtained a treasure, and said, "Young man, come with me!"
