Supreme Sword Sovereign

Chapter 20 – Visit Old Xue, meet Liu Ying again!

Who's there!

Everyone was taken aback again.

Someone dared to speak to Liu Yuan like that?

And...

What an unpleasant voice!

Liu Yuan's face changed immediately.

And all the family heads couldn't sit still anymore.

Others might not know, but they were aware that a VIP was sitting in the quiet room behind them. Unexpectedly, he wanted to intervene in this matter?

"Manager Li."

Liu Yuan hurriedly paid his respects.

"How did we disturb you?"

Seeing Manager Li's appearance.

And Liu Yuan's respectful demeanor.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Goodness, could this be...

"Ah!"

While everyone else was cautious.

Only Ah-Sha waved her hand excitedly, "It's you, we meet again!"

There was a gulp.

Liu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... she knew Manager Li?

"Little Maid!"

Manager Li's smile did not reach his eyes.

"I'm not familiar with you, don't pretend to be close!"

"Oh."

Ah-Sha sounded somewhat disappointed.

"Manager Li."

Seeing this, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"May I ask what the... VIP has instructed?"

He naturally understood.

Manager Li stepping forward must have been on the Seventh Prince's orders.

"City Lord Liu."

Manager Li glanced at him.

"I'm asking you, has the Martial Academy qualification battle ended?"

"It has ended."

"Who won?"

"It's... him!"

Liu Yuan pointed at Gu Han reluctantly.

"Oh."

Manager Li didn't even glance at Gu Han.

"Then there's nothing more to say."

With that said.

It was clear as day.

Gu Han's Martial Academy qualification was secured.

"Manager Li!"

Liu Yuan was somewhat unwilling to let it go.

"But he committed violence repeatedly, disregarding the rules of Sky Martial City..."

"I've said it!"

Manager Li's tone grew heavier.

"This matter ends here, do you understand?"

"Yes, yes!"

Tch!

Glancing at Gu Han, Manager Li's face darkened again.

Damned brat!

He's stumbled into luck again!

"Wait!"

Seeing him about to leave, Gu Han suddenly spoke up.

"What now!"

Manager Li was clearly impatient.

"Where is Elder Xue, I would like to pay him a visit."

Now.

Gu Han had avenged his great grudge and naturally needed to find a way to cure Ah-Sha's Soul Deficiency Syndrome. Naturally, Doctor Xue, a master of alchemy and medicine, was the best choice.

Impatiently giving an address.

Manager Li turned and left.

The more he saw Gu Han, the worse his mood became.

"Your Highness."

Back in the quiet room, Manager Li was still somewhat resentful.

"The task you assigned has been completed."

"You, you... cough cough!"

The Seventh Prince shook his head, about to tease him, but suddenly started coughing violently.

At the same time.

A visible chill continuously emanated from his body, quickly forming a thin layer of frost on him.

"Your Highness!"

Manager Li hurriedly protected his life force with Spiritual Power.

"Hold on!"

"I will take you to Old Xue right away!"

...

Outside.

Liu Yuan was in a terrible mood at this moment.

Somehow.

Thinking of Gu Han becoming the genius he once was, she felt uncomfortable.

"You just said, the Seventh Prince helped Gu Han out?"

"Yes."

Liu Yuan frowned deeply.

"It's just a bit strange. Although he helped him, Manager Li's attitude towards him was extremely cold."

Cold?

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately had a guess.

Could it be that Gu Han...

Had sided with the Seventh Prince?

"Dad."

With this thought, she immediately had an idea, "I'll go see the Seventh Prince, maybe I can find out some useful information."

"That's good."

Liu Yuan nodded.

"You're about to go to the Martial Academy, and even though the Seventh Prince isn't highly regarded, he's still a royal. Winning his friendship is a good thing for you."

Although there was only one spot for the Martial Academy.

As the city lord, he naturally had other ways to send Liu Ying there.

...

South of Sky Martial City.

In a secluded and quiet alley.

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha looked up, "Are we going to see that Grandpa Xue?"

"Yes."

Gu Han smiled.

"Last time, Elder Xue helped us so much, we haven't properly thanked him yet... Huh?"

Before he could finish.

He paused.

In the alley, five or six people stood respectfully in front of a small courtyard, eagerly hoping to be seen by the person inside.

Judging by their attire.

Gu Han immediately recognized them.

These people were all from various business associations in the Capital.

The Barbaric Wilderness Forest was rich in resources, and the business associations of the Capital sent a large number of people to the borderlands every year to collect spiritual herbs, beast cores, and various cultivation resources from scattered cultivators, with Sky Martial City naturally being one of them.

"Eh?"

Seeing Gu Han.

The person at the end of the line was surprised.

"Young brother, are you also here to see Doctor Xue?"

"Indeed."

Saying so.

Gu Han stepped forward to knock on the door.

"What are you doing!"

The person at the front immediately blocked Gu Han.

"Kid, do you know the rules?"

"Rules?"

"Nonsense, Doctor Xue hasn't said he'll see you, and you just rashly knock on the door. If you upset him, can you bear the consequences?"

"Looking at your shabby clothes, you came empty-handed, right? Still hoping Doctor Xue will see you?"

"Even if he does, there's a queue, go to the back!"

"Heh, small places just don't understand the rules!"

"..."

Coming from the Capital, they naturally looked down on the people of Sky Martial City and ridiculed Gu Han without hesitation.

Gu Han's face turned ugly.

"Don't look down on people!"

Ah-Sha said indignantly, "I know that grandpa!"

"Oh? You know Doctor Xue?"

"Little girl, don't talk big or the wind might blow your tongue away!"

"Exactly, what status does Doctor Xue have? Even the heads of our business associations have to be respectful to him, would he know you, a wild girl from a small place?"

"..."

The people's sarcastic remarks infuriated Ah-Sha, who clenched her little fists.

"You!"

Gu Han's eyes flashed with coldness.

"Give me..."

"Young brother!"

It was still the person at the end who quickly pulled Gu Han aside and whispered, "Just bear with it, they're from the Capital, and they're all in the Meridian Unblocking Realm, you can't afford to provoke them! Listen to me, there's no need to rush, we just need to wait patiently, and we'll eventually get to see Doctor Xue."

"Tsk tsk, Chen Ping, you're kind-hearted."

"What a mess you've become, yet you still think about managing other people's business?"

"I heard that at the Treasure Pavilion, your contribution points have been at the bottom for two years in a row, and you're about to be kicked out!"

"No family will support a useless freeloader!"

"..."

Being exposed by the others.

Chen Ping's face turned bright red.

"You..."

Gu Han's anger surged.

At that moment.

From the other end of the alley, a beautiful woman approached slowly.

Dressed in a light yellow dress, her face covered with a light veil, her figure graceful and her demeanor cool, she was like a fairy.

"Liu Ying?"

"Gu Han?"

The two spotted each other instantly.

Their eyes met.

No tenderness, only coldness.
