Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 264 Li Yunqi’s Guarantee

Li Yunqi changed from arrogance to humility, which had fully explained why.

“Fifth brother, why are you so polite... It’s just a rusted sword. Is is of unusual origin?” Li Yunyang finally could not help but ask.

“Shut up.” Li Yunqi screamed, turned and glanced at his second brother who could not do anything right. He bit his teeth and said, “Remember, if you don’t want to let our Qing River Town get destroyed, you don’t talk today. Otherwise, if you get yourself in trouble, even I can’t save you.”

Li Yunyang was greatly shocked, and now he understood the seriousness of the matter.

“The fifth younger brother was so afraid of the owner of this rusted sword. Was this one really a super big shot?”

Those Qing River Town’s warriors who mocked at Ding Hao before now were scared. They looked pale, shivered, and was not arrogant anymore. They held their breaths and stood well-behaved behind Li Yunyang.

The hearts of Gao Lin and Gao Feng and others beat quickly they could hardly suppress their excitement.

“That’s true!”

It turned out that the “Setting out with One Saber” brother really did not lie to them. He really had a well-thought-out plan beforehand. Now as they recalled their suspicion and distrust to Ding Hao, they felt extremely embarrassed.

For a while, the atmosphere was a bit weird.

There was thick snow in the sky, and the snowflake fluttered with the wind as if white elves danced cheerfully in the air.

Li Yunqi, the young genius of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, stood respectfully in the snow, without any impatient look.

The others had to accompany him to stand in the snow.

After a while, Gao Xue’er finally came back.

She returned with the answer that Li Yunqi waited for.

“The owner of the sword allows you to go to the stone building, but alone.”

Li Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Thank you, Miss Xue’er.” Immediately, he carefully fiddled with his clothes and smoothed the sleeves of his blue gown. After that, he couldn’t wait to walk toward the stone building in the distance.

Everyone looked at his back, and the doubts in their eyes were growing.

...

“I was right. It’s really you, Senior Brother Ding.”

Inside the stone building, Li Yunqi stood respectfully in Ding Hao’s side, full of worship in his tone.

As a member of the Eastern Academy of green shirts, he is a high-minded genius in the eyes of people in Valley Village and Qing River Town, but Li Yunqi himself was very clear that he was too ordinary, compared with this talented young man in front of him.

Four hundred people of the Eastern Academy of green shirts all admired this boy in front of him.

The first sword in Eastern Academy of green shirts!

This title was not just a compliment. That was an honor because it had been tested by dozens of battles.

“The other disciples only know that Senior Brother Ding is cultivating in seclusion, but they don’t know you have covered thousands of miles and come to this remote village, but I’m wondering why are you doing this?” Li Yunqi asked curiously.

“I have promised a deceased friend to guard this village this winter, helping the people here get through this long and dangerous winter.” Ding Hao stood by the window of the stone building, quietly watching the flying white snow and sky outside.

“I know.” Li Yunqi did not dare to ask the details. He nodded and said, “Every winter, people here will suffer badly. Countless human settlements will be in trouble. If there are no guardians, every year thousands of small villages that are as small as Valley Village will be gone.”

Li Yunqi was not a first-class disciple in the Eastern Academy of green shirts, but he was always diligent and he used to ask Ding Hao some questions about cultivation, so their relationship was not bad.

However, except for Ding Hao’s roommates, Wang Xiaoqi and Zhang Fan, those who had a close relationship with Ding Hao were the earliest team members of Vanguard Team who went out for a trial test with Ding Hao. Li Yunqi may not even be eligible to be Ding Hao’s friend.

Li Yunqi was very excited because he had never thought that he could meet Ding Hao at this place before.

If he could take advantage of this opportunity to build a closer relationship with Ding Hao, then after returning to Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, he might be able to create a bond with Ding Hao’s friends.

After a little hesitation, Li Yunqi finally couldn’t help but send out an invitation. He hoped that Ding Hao could go to Qing River Town and he would perform the duties of the host. He patted his chest and made a promise. “Senior Brother Ding, please don’t worry. Our town will send at least fifty elite warriors to protect Valley Village and all the villagers will be safe.”

Ding Hao turned and looked at him and smiled.

“Junior Brother Li, it’s so kind of you, but I don’t want others to know where I am. Besides, I can’t leave Valley Village right now and I still have some trivial things to deal with. I’m afraid I have no chance to go to Qing River Town to call on your parents. Please say hello for me. I’m sorry.”

Li Yunqi was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he laughed and said, “That’s OK... Ah, would you mind to tell me what are you going to do? Please never be too kind to ask help. Although my town is not strong enough, we have more than a thousand warriors. They are very willing to be at your disposal.”

Ding Hao bowed his head and thought for a while, saying, “Alright, there is one thing. I may need your help.”

“Really? That’s great.” Li Yunqi was thrilled to hear that.

He just asked without much thinking, but unexpectedly, there was indeed one thing he could do some help. This was absolutely a good opportunity to make friends with Ding Hao. If he did well, maybe his entire Li family would benefit from it.

What was more, for Li Yunqi, it was a great honor to be able to work for Ding Hao.

“What is it? Senior Brother Ding, please tell me. You have my words. As long as it can be done, the entire Qing River Town will definitely go all out to finish it.” Li Yunqi patted his chest to guarantee.

“I am going to wipe Blood Dragon Village out,” Ding Hao said calmly.

“Ah? Wipe Blood Dragon Village out?” Li Yunqi had psychological expectations, but he was still surprised. He did not think Ding Hao would come out with such an idea.

For Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Blood Dragon Village was just an ant. The Sect only needed to send out a third-generation disciple and the village would be destroyed in an instant. However, for the human settlements around Snow Dragon Mountain, Blood Dragon Village was a terrible elephant.

Even if he and Ding Hao were both disciples from Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, it was not an easy task to completely eliminate Blood Dragon Village.

If Qing River Town vs Blood Dragon Village, his town would win, but with a huge price. Qing River Town would definitely suffer a great loss.

After thinking about it, Li Yunqi bit his teeth and finally firmly replied, “Senior Brother Ding, please do not worry. Qing River Town will go all out with the strongest forces. We’ll never shrink back.”
