Noticing Ye Chens lack of response, Lu Hanshuangs gaze fell on the broken sword in his hand, and soon figured it out.

Ye Chen, are you planning to reforge this sword?

Ye Chen did not chase Lu Hanshuang away immediately. After all, he had obtained the Dragonslayer Sword from her.

It was likely that she knew something about the sword, thus he asked, Lu Hanshuang, where did you get this sword?

Lu Hanshuangs beautiful eyes stared at Ye Chen. She did not answer him directly, but chose instead to say, If you want me to answer, fine. 1 want to know one thing.

Ye Chen was a little angry. She was bringing up conditions now?

Speak!

Do you have anything to do with the Wu familys extermination and the beheading of Tang Aos son?

As a member of the Xuemei Palace, Lu Hanshuang naturally knew what had happened in Jiangnan Province during the past few days.

When she saw the back of the man in the photo, she immediately thought of Ye Chen. However, although Ye Chen was very powerful, it was not that easy to destroy the Wu family.

This was why she was uncertain whether or not it was his doing.

I killed them.

Ye Chens voice trailed off slowly.

He thought that the other party was going to ask about something important, but it was a piddling matter like this.

Although Lu Hanshuang was mentally prepared, she could not help but gasp when she heard Ye Chen admit it.

Even the way she looked at Ye Chen changed. This kid was actually so strong that he easily destroyed a top martial arts family of Jiangnan Province!

Then, Lu Hanshuang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not make this person an enemy.

So youre that Hunter person that has made many forces in Jiangnan Province tremble in fear. Thinking back, you killed the Xuemei Palace expert without any fear of repercussions that day. To me, it was a huge matter, but to you, it truly might be a small matter, Lu Hanshuang muttered.

Now that you know, shouldnt you tell me about the Dragonslayer Sword? Dragonslayer Sword?

Lu Hanshuang snapped out of her daze. She glanced at the broken sword and realized that it was the name Ye Chen had given it. She did not waste any time and said, 1 obtained this sword by accident when I killed someone. That person hid this sword very well when he was alive. I knew that it was very valuable, so I kept it with me. All these years, Ive been investigating the origins of this sword.

She glanced at Ye Chen and saw that he was staring at her with great interest.

This sword was forged by the swordsmith genius Zhu Hongxi 200 years ago, and it took him three whole years to forge it! He poured his heart and soul into it! However, when this sword was forged, he also suffered a backlash and did not survive.

After that, the sword disappeared. No one knew where it went or who possessed it until 1 discovered it. However, at that time, the sword was already a broken sword. 1 once thought of finding someone to reforge the sword, but there were too many things needed. In fact, none of the swordsmiths in Huaxia can be compared to Zhu Hongxi.

After that, 1 put this matter aside. Ye Chen, if you want to reforge this sword, I can give you some useful information. The main material that Zhu Hongxi used to forge this sword is extremely rare. You might not be able to find a second one even if you searched all over the country. However, Zhu Hongxis descendants actually have the remaining material that was used to forge this sword.

Where are Zhu Hongxis descendants now? Ye Chen asked in delight.

Lu Hanshuangs beautiful eyes turned and she said lightly, Jiangnan Provinces Zhu family.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Chen immediately thought of Zhu Rende and Zhu Zixuan from River City.

If he remembered correctly, the Zhu family of River City was a branch of the Zhu family of Jiangnan Province!

However, was the Zhu family not specialized in traditional medicine? When did they start forging swords?

As if sensing Ye Chens confusion, Lu Hanshuang explained, On the surface, the Zhu family of Jiangnan Province is the largest medicinal herb merchant in Southeast Huaxia. They are also famous when it comes to traditional medicine. However, its not that simple. The medicinal herb business is just a cover for the Zhu family.

The Zhu family of Jiangnan Province looks harmless, but in fact, those top martial arts families do not dare to provoke them. Do you know why?

Lu Hanshuang looked at Ye Chens puzzled expression and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Ye Chen said nothing, so Lu Hanshuang continued, The ancestors of the Zhu family forged personal weapons for countless experts. With their relations.h.i.+ps with these experts, who would dare to touch the Zhu family?!

After saying this, there was a sudden movement outside the door. Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi had returned.

Im leaving. You take care of yourself.

Lu Hanshuang then disappeared from Ye Chens sight.

Not long after, the door opened. Sun Yi glanced at Ye Chen on the sofa, and then looked around and asked, Ye Chen, why did I hear a girls voice outside just now?

Xia Ruoxue also frowned and scanned the room, but she did not see anyone.

You didnt secretly bring a woman into the villa, did you?

Ye Chen smiled and looked at the two girls.

With you two here, do I still need to bring women in?

Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue blushed.

Youve got a glib tongue, but what you said is true.

Ye Chen chatted with the two girls for a while, and then went to the balcony on the third floor to smoke a cigarette and dial Zhu Rendes number.

Zhu Rende and Zhu Zixuan should still be in the Virtuous Benevolence Hall.

Soon, the call went through.

Mr. Ye? Zhu Rendes respectful voice was heard from the other end of the line.

Yes, its me. Elder Zhu, how have you been recently?

Thank you for asking Mr. Ye. Im fine. By the way, I heard that Mr. Ye went to Jiangnan Province? If there is a chance, we can meet up.

Youre also in Jiangnan Province? Ye Chen asked hurriedly.

Thats right. The main family will be having a meeting sometime during the next few days. Zixuan and I will be at the Zhu familys residence in Jiangnan Province.

Ye Chen was delighted and quickly said, Theres no need to wait then. Let;s meet now. Where are you? Ill come to you.

Zhu Rendes expression changed slightly. Although he felt that it was strange, he still made reservations at a tea house near the Zhu familys residence in Jiangnan Province and sent the address to Ye Chen.

Half an hour later, Ye Chen arrived at a private room at the tea house, and found that Zhu Rende and Zhu Zixuan had already arrived.

Mr. Ye, the two of them greeted him respectfully.

Ye Chen nodded and sat down. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the two of them, he told them about the Dragonslayer Sword.

Of course, he had left some of the important details.

Zhu Rende raised his white eyebrows in surprise and asked, Mr. Ye, do you want the material to reforge the sword?

Yes, its not that I want the material. 1 must have it.

Ye Chen could not wield a broken sword forever. Whether it was for now or for the future, the Dragonslayer Sword had to be reforged..
