After Lu Chen observed two targets in a row, he was disappointed, and in desperation, he could only find another target.

Perhaps, in the secret letter found from 'Wu Qu', the clues in it were not at all what he guessed.

But since then, Lu Chen can't find any other clue for the time being, so he can only continue to search according to the conjecture in his heart, if it turns out that his conjecture is wrong, then he can only change his strategy.

Two days later, Lu Chen came to the most prosperous town in Lantian County-Burial Sword City!

This is one of the two core towns controlled by Wanjian Villa, and it has a great reputation in Lantian County.

With a resident population of more than one million, the city covers an area of nearly four or five hundred kilometers, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a magnificent momentum, looking like an ancient giant beast crawling on the ground from a distance.

When Lu Chen entered the city, he was greeted by a wide street that could accommodate eight tall horses.

On both sides of the street, some buildings such as various green buildings, teahouses, and restaurants are lined up one after another, which can be seen everywhere and are very prosperous.

One of the most eye-catching buildings is the sword-shaped tower that stands in the center of the street, with 13 floors, up to more than 10 zhang high, surrounded by carved beams and paintings, and the gold paint is shining, like a sharp sword inserted into the sky, very magnificent.

When a pedestrian passes by, he can't help but look at it twice every time.

It's already the beginning of winter, and the weather is very cold.

Many pedestrians wore thick cotton jackets to protect against the cold winter, but Lu Chen was still wearing a thin black robe, a dark red scarf around his shoulders, and holding a Xuanqing heavy sword, walking silently on the street.

Not long after entering the city, the sky began to float with fine snowflakes, like salt foam, scattered in the sky.

Pedeswalkers came one after another with oil-paper umbrellas, and hurried to their homes, and Lu Chen was lonely and out of place.

"Time flies so fast, it's been another year in the blink of an eye! The last time it snowed, when I was still on a mission with Senior Sister, I didn't expect so many things to happen this year!" Lu Chen looked up at the gloomy sky above his head, and a few fine snowflakes fell on his face, bringing a touch of coolness.

After a while, Lu Chen came to a restaurant called Fushou Pavilion, went up to the second floor and found a window seat to sit down.

Then he greeted Xiao Er and ordered a pot of hot wine and two or three side dishes. Enjoy the snow outside the street while eating.

At this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps sounded, attracting the attention of many diners.

The leader is a slender girl in a green skirt, with a very delicate face, a faint charm between her eyebrows, a luxurious fox fur jacket on her shoulders, and a pair of exquisite gold-patterned deerskin boots at her feet.

Behind him were two white-clothed women with gold trim embroidered on their necklines, both of them embroidered with a small silver sword on their chests, Lu Chen had seen it before in the Hidden Dragon Competition, which was the unique symbol of Ten Thousand Swords Villa.

"Look, isn't this the little princess of the Ouyang family?"

"Well, that's right, it's Ouyang Qian, has she been cultivating in Xuanyin Pavilion before, why did she come back suddenly?"

"You don't know, this little princess is about to get engaged to that waste young master of Ten Thousand Swords Villa, and this little princess is here for this when she comes back!"

In the restaurant, when Ouyang Qian first appeared, many diners suddenly had a touch of surprise in front of their eyes, and after a closer look, some people soon recognized her origin and began to talk in whispers.

Ouyang Qian took her two female companions to find a place to sit down, which was also by the window, which happened to be in front of Lu Chen.

As soon as the green girl sat down, she exhaled angrily: "I'm angry, I'm angry, my father and mother actually arranged for me to marry Lin Mubai, this waste, this will be spread in the future, how should I meet people!"

"Xiaoqian, don't be angry, things have come to this point, it's useless for you to be angry!" a girl who looked like a little baby room comforted.

Another girl with tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth said: "Xiaoqian is really pitiful, she actually married Lin Mubai, a waste, it's too much of a loss!"

"Actually, Lin Mubai is not as unbearable as Xiao Ru said! Xiao Qian married him, that is flying on the branch as a phoenix!" The baby fat girl whispered.

Ouyang Qian glared at her round little eyes and said, "Su Ya, what do you think about your little head, what do you fly on the branches as a phoenix, marry Lin Mubai, this waste, my life will be over, you know?"

"Xiaoqian is right, Lin Mubai's waste is really useless. Born with blocked muscles and veins, thin physique, practicing martial arts so far, I don't know how many resources are consumed, and he is still a waste that even ordinary disciples can't beat, and everyone in the entire Burial Sword City knows it, who doesn't know! The most important thing is that this guy is very horny, and he hangs all day long, and is treated as a joke. Our Xiaoqian is young and beautiful, and the young and handsome men who pursue her can form a long queue on Tongque Street!"

Another girl named Wang Ru said: "Let's marry him, isn't that a crime? ”

"I also want to find a way to quit, but my father and mother have to force me to marry this waste, it's so annoying!" Ouyang Qian held her pretty face with both hands, her eyes full of distress.

Su Ya retorted softly: "Although Lin Mubai is a waste, he still looks quite handsome, his father is the second owner of Wanjian Villa, his identity is prominent, his status is noble, Xiaoqian will be happy in the future if she marries him!"

"Hmph, he's still handsome, I can't look down on such a waste, Xiaoru, you like him so much, then why don't you marry him!" Ouyang Qian snorted, looking quite displeased.

Ouyang Qian, Su Ya and Wang Ru are friends who grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and their feelings are very deep, but their identities are slightly different.

Ouyang Qian comes from a wealthy family in Burial Sword City, the family is in business, rich and powerful, and the family background is good, and it is also a second-rate family in the local area.

And Su Ya and Wang Ru are the collateral disciples from Wanjian Villa, their qualifications are quite excellent, and they have obtained the cultivation qualification to enter the Sword Tower, and they have a bit of status among the many collateral disciples.

Ouyang Qian entered the Xuanyin Pavilion when she was young, and only recently came back to visit her relatives, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came back, her father would let her marry Lin Mubai.

Because Lin Mubai's identity is different from Su Ya and Wang Ru, he is a descendant of Wanjian Villa, and his status is prominent, but his identity is a little special.

Ouyang Qian's father was a businessman, and the purpose was of course to cling to the powerful so that his family's influence in the local area could be further enhanced, so he came up with the idea of marriage.

You must know that Wanjian Villa is a well-known top force in Kyushu, controlling the entire Lantian County, the government of all towns, and the city guards

The army is all held by the children of their families, and they have absolute dominion. In this place, Wanjian Villa said the same, and no one dared to offend them.

To be able to marry with such a family, it is undoubtedly a step to the sky, one foot into the ranks of the real wealthy, for the common people, who does not desire.

But Ouyang Qian, the woman who married her, did not agree to this marriage because she hated Lin Mubai very much.

If you want to talk about this Lin Mubai, you don't need to inquire at all, just ask someone to know how famous this guy is in Burial Sword City.

"Hey, forget it, let's not talk about this matter for now, let's eat something first!" Ouyang Qian had a headache when she thought of this matter now, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Er to serve wine and food, planning to go back and discuss with her parents.

Lu Chen drank the wine silently, listened to all this in his heart, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth: "Lin Mubai, the third goal that Uncle Wang provided me, I hope it doesn't disappoint me!"

After eating and drinking, he put down some broken silver, turned around and left the restaurant.

In the north of the city, there is a huge manor, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, which is very magnificent, and a large number of descendants of the Jian clan live here for three generations.

This is the place where Wanjian Villa specializes in cultivating the descendants of the lineage, and many internal strength masters are stationed to guide the cultivation of the clan disciples, and the internal guards are strict, and the status is divided according to the bloodline.

Jian Wuchen, who was in the limelight of the Hidden Dragon Contest before, was a disciple of the Great Zhuang Master Sword Haifeng, and he also walked out from here. He is the most admired genius of all the descendants of the family, and has great fame within the family.

There is another very famous descendant in this manor, that is Lin Mubai.

"Little mink, let's go, buy a few crickets to play with today, the sixth child is going to fight crickets with the little master!" In the manor, a handsome-looking and handsome young man walked out of the house with a birdcage, he wore a silver robe embroidered with gold edges, and walked swaggering in the manor, attracting countless people's frequent sideways.

"Young master, wait for me, let's rest today, the master has ordered, I can't let you go out, let you practice your sword well!" A Tsing Yi Xiao Shi followed behind and reminded in a low voice.

Lin Mubai said disapprerovitically: "Practice sword and fart, practice and practice are all like that bird." Besides, what's there to be afraid of, my father is handling affairs in Heavenly Sword City, hundreds of miles away from Burial Sword City, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he can't control us, don't worry, it's okay!"

"Young master, what should I do if the old man is to blame?" said the little mink with a wry smile.

Lin Mubai said disdainfully: "My father wants to blame me and blame me, what are you afraid of! I have something to bear, don't worry about it!"

"Okay then!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade the young master, the little mink had no choice but to go with him.

In a secluded corner of the wall of the manor, Lu Chen squatted and looked at the young master named Lin Mubai from a distance.

"Lin Mubai, twenty-seven years old this year, is the illegitimate son of the Shaozhuang master Jian Shaoze, inherited his father's handsome appearance and bearing, but did not inherit his father's excellent martial arts talent, his mother is said to be a prostitute of the Qinglou of Tianxiang Country, who was killed very early, because the Jian clan is strict, so Lin Mubai has his mother's surname. It's a pity that he was born with blocked muscles and veins, and he couldn't practice martial arts, coupled with his special status, he was always rejected and ridiculed by other descendants!"

This is the news that Lu Chen has collected in the past few days, but he didn't expect that he himself knew almost the same as him.
