There Must Be No Hesitation

The dinner at Tianyi Sword House was quite sumptuous, with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, as well as Qingjianzhou's most distinctive liquor - Chixueqiong, which was neatly laid out on a large round table.

This is not bland at all.

However, Xiao Tingyu likes this rich feeling, just like his personality and his swordsmanship.

In the Four Seasons Sword Court, besides the owner Xiao Tingyu, there were also his three friends, all of whom were swordsmen. The barrier of the courtyard blocked the wind and snow, but it retained the perspective of viewing the snow scene, which was also elegant under the bright moon and clear sky.

"Brother Xiao, did you call us here just to look at the food on the table?" One of the middle-aged swordsmen with a red nose said with some dissatisfaction: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly and then start eating. I'm already hungry."

"Red-nosed ghost, be quiet. If you keep yelling, I'll cut off your nose with my sword." A young man in white holding a jade fan glared at the red-nosed swordsman in dissatisfaction. "And can you change your southern accent? Otherwise, shut up. It's unpleasant to listen to."

"Hehe." The red-nosed swordsman did not refute, but just laughed dryly twice.

The remaining man was wearing a red robe, and even his eyebrows were slightly angry, but his temper was the calmest among the three. He never spoke a word, but just looked at Xiao Tingyu quietly.

"Did you know that two female swordsmen came to the sword house today?" Xiao Tingyu put his hands behind his back, paced in the courtyard for a few times, then turned his head to look at his three friends.

"I know." The red-nosed swordsman said with a smile, "I heard that he cut the sword-testing monument into three pieces with one sword. That's pretty domineering."

Young Master Yushan chuckled and said disapprovingly: "It's just a show of force. In the past hundred years, no major sword sect has accepted any female disciples with extraordinary talents. The origins of these two women are very suspicious."

"Can't he be a casual cultivator?" The red-robed man asked calmly, raising his eyes to look at Young Master Yushan.

"Self-cultivating cultivator?" Young Master Yushan's disdain grew even stronger, and he said with great disdain, "What do you think cultivation is? Without a vast supply of elixirs and spiritual energy, even if one's talent is high, it will be consumed and turned into waste. The so-called self-cultivating cultivators are nothing more than wastes whose aptitude is too poor and no sect would take notice of them."

These words were too hurtful. If they were spread out, they would definitely cause a heated controversy, because there were many independent swordsmen living in the sword house.

The red-robed man chuckled and said sarcastically, "I heard that the founder of your Jade Sword Sect was a casual cultivator. Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the sect for saying this?"

"Chimei, what do you mean by this?" Young Master Yushan put away the folding fan in his hand and looked at the man in red robe with cold eyes.

The red-robed man didn't think he had said anything wrong, and smiled, "Did I say anything wrong?"

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your eyebrows haven't become much more colorful, but your temper has become much harder." Young Master Yushan sneered and pointed at him with the tip of his fan: "If you are not convinced by me, you can just send me a sword challenge and we can compete in the way of swordsmanship."

The red-robed man said calmly, "I'm at your service any time."

"Well, today the snow is beautiful. If you two get too angry, it will ruin the scenery." Xiao Tingyu chuckled twice and said, "Although Yuqing's words are unpleasant to hear, they are not without reason. Those two women are indeed suspicious."

"What's suspicious about that?" The red-nosed swordsman finally couldn't resist his urge to drink, and directly opened the bottle of Red Snow Qiong. He poured himself a bowl first, and said while drinking, "They are nothing more than two women. No matter how good their swordsmanship is, how much trouble can they cause?"

This time, Master Yushan agreed with Red Nose's words and said with a smile, "That's right, it's just that there are fewer female sword cultivators. Everyone is just looking at them as something strange. There's no need to pay too much attention to them."

"You can't say that." Xiao Tingyu waved his hand slightly and said solemnly: "Many calculations have failed due to these minor details. Anything that goes beyond the plan must be taken seriously. Because we have countermeasures for things in the plan, and it is precisely these seemingly unimportant people who are most likely to cause variables."

The red-nosed swordsman poured another bowl of wine and squinted at Xiao Tingyu: "So Master Xiao means to get rid of these two women in advance to prevent any changes?"

"I didn't say that." Xiao Tingyu smiled and shook his head, "I'm just reminding the three of you not to take it lightly, otherwise you will most likely fail."

"Humph, I don't believe that just two women can ruin our long-term plan." Master Yushan still looked disdainful, "If we really want to kill them, there is no need for us to do anything. I can just arrange a few people to go there."

"The swordsmanship of that woman carrying a sword is quite advanced. She can defeat many people with one sword. Which of your men is enough?" the red-robed man retorted bluntly.

Master Yushan shouted angrily, "If that doesn't work, I will personally do it. Now you won't have anything to say, right?"

"Don't argue." Xiao Tingyu smiled and poured a glass of wine for each of them. He said calmly, "I have already sent sword invitations to the two women and asked them to meet at dusk tomorrow. If they dare to come, then I will have a good chance to test their background."

"What if they don't come?" the red-nosed swordsman asked casually.

Xiao Tingyu raised his eyebrows, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "Then kill him. The sword test competition is coming soon, and I will not allow any accidents to happen. The Fire Vein Divine Sword of the Sword Forging Villa can only fall into our hands."

…

On the other side, in the Thousand Fragrance Flower Pavilion.

Qiao Xiaoqiao and Gu Hanshuang were also having dinner. The dishes were light, with no wine or tea.

The coachman Wu Jiu also came back from outside after getting some news.

🔥 *Hot New Release!* Translated with **95% accuracy** - **wtr-lab.com**​​

"The Sword Trial Conference, also known as the Sword Listening Conference, is the most prestigious sword gathering in Qingjianzhou. It is jointly held by the Sword Forging Villa and the City Lord's Mansion and is held every sixty years." After summarizing the information he had inquired about, the driver Wu Jiu slowly reported to the two hostesses: "This sword trial conference happened to coincide with the Sword Forging Villa's plan to produce a peerless sword, so there are an unusually large number of cultivators and swordsmen from all over Xianyun Continent, more than 100,000 people."

"One hundred thousand people?" Qiao Xiaoqiao was not surprised at all. She said calmly, "It's about the same as a large music festival on Earth."

The driver Wu Jiu naturally didn't know what a music festival was, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just continued, "Every time a sword test meeting is held, a sword champion will be selected, and the prize is the peerless sword. Of course, after receiving the prize, the sword champion must make a promise to accept a person from the Sword Forging Villa as his personal disciple. This is the rule of the sword meeting."

"If Sword Forging Villa wants to survive in the martial arts world, it naturally needs to cling to the strong." Qiao Xiaoqiao was not surprised by this. "They can create magical weapons. If they didn't have a strong force to protect them, they would have been destroyed long ago."

Gu Hanshuang asked at this time: "Is there any special person in this sword test competition?"

The driver Wu Jiu thought for a moment and raised four fingers: "In this sword competition, there are four people who are quite outstanding and are currently the most popular candidates for the championship."

"Tell me about it." Qiao Xiaoqiao asked with a smile.

"The first one is the prince of Huoyun Country, his name is Yun Qilie." The driver Wu Jiu said calmly, "Huoyun Country has just been recovered by our dynasty, and has not yet returned. It always stirs up trouble on the border between the two countries. This time, they came to compete for the magic sword, and I think they have some bad intentions."

Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled faintly: "The unification of Xianyun Continent is related to the peace of thousands of years, and no one is allowed to deliberately destroy it. It would be fine if this person is sincere, but if he really has the intention of rebelling, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible, and then the country will be turned into a county and directly incorporated into the territory of the Ji Dynasty."

Gu Hanshuang nodded. In such a major event, they had to act decisively and without any hesitation. Otherwise, when they were fully focused on dealing with the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, these people would definitely stab them in the back.

"The second one is the son of the governor of Qingjian Province, his name is Tie Ziyang, nicknamed Young Master Tiejian, and he is a true disciple of the Tiejian Sect." The driver Wu Jiu continued, "The third one is the chief disciple of the Qingtian Sword Field, named Ji Lingshen, also known as Young Master Lingjian, but he uses a heavy sword without an edge, which is said to be made of ten thousand year old black iron and weighs more than three thousand pounds. The fourth one is Xiao Tingyu, also known as the Dragon Slaying Divine Sword, and he is a disciple of the Wuwang Sword Sect. It seems that he also lives in this sword house."

"Haha, this person has come to our door." Qiao Xiaoqiao took out the sword invitation and handed it to Wu Jiu, saying, "Return this to the shopkeeper and tell him that we don't accept any sword invitations."

"Yes." The driver Wu Jiu took the sword letter and nodded in agreement.

Qiao Xiaoqiao took out another letter and a red jade seal and handed them to Wu Jiu, saying slowly, "You will give this letter to the governor later, and then you will stay there as Sister Ji's special envoy, and say that you are here to inspect Qingjianzhou's preparations for the September Anti-Immortal Conference. In fact, I want you to keep a close eye on him. During the sword test conference, if he makes any unusual moves, you can kill him first and report later. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The driver Wu Jiu nodded.

"Okay, you can go down." Qiao Xiaoqiao waved her hand and said calmly: "I won't keep you here for dinner. You can go to the City Lord's Mansion for a good meal."

The driver Wu Jiu took the order and retreated.

"Xiao Qiao, are you suspecting that there is something wrong with this governor?" Gu Hanshuang couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled lightly and said meaningfully, "The resurgence of a cult from ten thousand years ago is not a coincidence. There should have been clues a long time ago, but these places have never reported it. So whether he has problems or not, he has problems and can no longer be used."

Although Qiao Xiaoqiao has never governed a country, she is a well-known young CEO in Jianghai City and has her own unique insights on employing people. If a person like Qingjianzhou Governor is an executive in her company, she will also get rid of him without hesitation to prevent future troubles.

"Especially now is a critical moment." Qiao Xiaoqiao added, "The real strong enemy we are facing is the Xiuxian Alliance. There is no chance to try again, so we must not make any mistakes in other matters."
