”Okay, let’s go.”

　　”Boss, how about this sword belongs to me and that sword belongs to you?” Gu Sheng happily handed the “Zhao Yun” that he had been thinking about to Jiang Yun, and lowered his head to think about the reason for letting him take it.

　　”No.” Jiang Yun refused Gu Sheng calmly without waiting for him to continue speaking, and pointed at the other sword in Gu Sheng’s hand.

　　”You take this wooden sword, and I’ll use the other one.”

　　After he said that, he took the sword from Gu Sheng’s hand before he could react.

　　”Hey? Hiss——” When the sword slipped out of his hand, Gu Sheng subconsciously grasped the blade, but was scratched because of excessive force.

　　For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, without saying a word.

　　Two pairs of eyes fell on Gu Sheng’s hand and the sword respectively.

　　Gu Sheng was nervously looking at the blood on the tip of the cheap sword, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he didn’t hear any words like “the contract was successful” in his ears.

　　Fortunately, fortunately, a sword without spiritual energy doesn’t accept the trick of dripping blood to recognize its master.

　　”Boss, don’t argue with me. That wooden sword is the most suitable for you.”

　　As a younger brother, Gu Sheng shouldn’t have spoken to Jiang Yun in such a tone, but in order to make the Zhaoyun sword recognize Jiang Yun as its master, Gu Sheng had to hand the sword to Jiang Yun even if his personality collapsed.

　　He handed the wooden sword in his other hand to Jiang Yun with some persistence, but before he could stretch out his hand, his hand was held by someone.

　　”Did it hurt you?” Jiang Yun walked forward, put his sword and Gu Sheng’s wooden sword on the ground together, took Gu Sheng’s hand, lowered his head and frowned slightly to look at the wound on the palm of his hand.

　　”Let’s not talk about the sword for now, let’s treat your wound first.”

　　There was nothing suitable around, and after looking around, Jiang Yun tore off half of his sleeve and wrapped it on Gu Sheng’s hand according to Gu Sheng’s previous practice.

　　Jiang Yun had never had the experience of bandaging a wound. When he was injured before, he waited for the blood to drain and scab to form automatically. Only a few times when the wound was bandaged for him were Gu Sheng.

　　He clumsily wrapped the torn sleeve around the wound, hid the expression in his eyes and picked up the sword on the ground.

　　It was not the wooden sword.

　　Gu Sheng, whose attention had been attracted by Jiang Yun’s “gentleness”, came back to his senses in an instant. He grabbed Jiang Yun’s sleeve with his uninjured hand to stop him from getting up, and raised his head to signal.

　　”Boss, the wooden sword is yours.”

　　He had followed his instructions before, so why didn’t he listen this time?

　　Gu Sheng also frowned and looked at Jiang Yun. As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the other party say first: “Gu Sheng, be obedient.”

　　Gu Sheng: …

　　Gu Sheng met Jiang Yun’s gaze, and the four words that the other party had just said echoed in his ears. For a moment, he felt that Jiang Yun didn’t have to take the sword.

　　He struggled in his heart, but finally chose to compromise.

　　”Okay, boss.”

　　If Jiang Yun didn’t want it, forget it. There would always be a chance in the future.

　　Gu Sheng looked at the wooden sword on the ground and the wound on his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn’t pick up the sword.

　　What if it accidentally gets blood on my wound?

　　Gu Sheng thought about it and let go of Jiang Yun’s hand.

　　He stood up at the same time as the other party, and heard a noise not far away.

　　It was so noisy. He glanced at Jiang Yun and found that the other party still did not intend to pick up the wooden sword.

　　In desperation, Gu Sheng, who originally planned to stay there for a while, resigned himself to picking up the wooden sword on the ground with his uninjured hand, and did not look at the noisy place.

　　”Boss, there are many people here, let’s go first.”

　　Gu Sheng stood up and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Jiang Yun.

　　”Wait.”

　　The other party pointed and motioned Gu Sheng to look at the crowd.

　　Only then did he realize that the source of the noise was caused by an acquaintance.

　　Gu Sheng looked up and saw a scene where several people surrounded a scholar who looked very weak.

　　”Isn’t that Qi Yan?”

　　He blinked at Jiang Yun and stopped his steps to leave.

　　In Gu Sheng’s heart, Qi Yan was one of the people he liked more, and if the other party encountered trouble, he could help.

　　What’s more.

　　One, two, three, four, five…

　　Gu Sheng stretched out his fingers and counted. There were seven people surrounding Qi Yan. On his side were him, Jiang Yun, and Qi Yan.

　　… Gu Sheng was silent for a second.

　　A big boss led two rookies, but the big boss was very strong, and it shouldn’t be a problem to kill seven people…right?

　　Qi Yan must be saved, Gu Sheng clenched his fists.

　　What he needed to think about now was how to get rid of those seven people.

　　Gu Sheng was not good at this kind of mental activity. He turned his head and was about to discuss with Jiang Yun, but he saw the other party’s body rushing out instantly. 　　”You stay where you are and don’t move. There are only seven people. Leave it to me.” 　　Gu Sheng fell into silence again. He did not follow Jiang Yun to cause trouble, but stood there thinking about countermeasures.

　　But Gu Sheng remembered that Jiang Yun was not such an impulsive person. Why did he rush up directly?

　　He couldn’t figure it out, but he felt that he couldn’t waste time on this matter.

　　While Jiang Yun rushed into the crowd to ‘take care’ of those people, Gu Sheng silently stepped back a few steps, and sat down on the ground to ensure that the attacks of the few people would not affect him and he could see the fighting situation of the few people.

　　What should he do?

　　Making plans is not Gu Sheng’s strong point. He frowned and subconsciously tightened the wooden sword in his hand while thinking.

　　Not long after, a slight friction came from the palm of his hand. Gu Sheng was startled and realized that he was too focused just now. He instantly let go of the sword and looked at his palm.

　　Fortunately, Zhao Yun was just the wooden sword at this time, leaving only a shallow mark on the palm of his hand.

　　It was a close call.

　　Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Jiang Yun.

　　This sight made him stunned.

　　It was completely different from what Gu Sheng thought. Originally, what he thought in his mind should be the scene of Jiang Yun knocking down the other seven people alone, but now it seems that the current situation seems that Jiang Yun is about to be knocked down by those seven people.

　　Qi Yan, who was originally surrounded, was rescued by Jiang Yun. He was anxiously circling around outside the group, even sacrificing himself to get the attention of those people.

　　But it was useless. The seven people seemed to not see Qi Yan at this time, and gradually surrounded Jiang Yun who had fallen into their midst.

　　How could it be possible?

　　Gu Sheng’s pupils dilated, and his face was full of disbelief.

　　Jiang Yun… was actually surrounded by those seven people?

　　How could Jiang Yun be at a disadvantage?

　　Qi Yan, who was not far away, also saw Gu Sheng sitting on the ground and waved at him anxiously.

　　”Gu Sheng! Go quickly, there are assassins here who want your lives!”

　　It was a little far away, so Gu Sheng couldn’t hear what Qi Yan was saying, but occasionally the words “assassin” and “life-threatening” reached his ears.

　　Gu Sheng: …

　　Gu Sheng picked up the wooden sword on the ground without hesitation, stood up, and rushed towards Jiang Yun.

　　He didn’t care about the plan at this time. No matter how many people there were on the other side, they couldn’t hurt Jiang Yun at all!

　　Gu Sheng’s eyes were red, and he didn’t notice that he was holding the sword with his injured hand. He just felt that the wooden sword was very easy to use at this time.

　　He rushed into the seven people without hesitation, and swung the sword to stab the shoulder and thigh of the nearest one.

　　The other party half-knelt on the ground with his eyes wide open, watching Gu Sheng step on his shoulder and jump up.

　　When Jiang Yun turned around, he saw that Gu Sheng, who had been muttering about boss protecting his “little brother”, had already jumped into the air. His angry face seemed a little cute to Jiang Yun.

　　”Boss, get out of the way!”

　　Gu Sheng raised his arm and swung the wooden sword, but Jiang Yun was too close to those people. Gu Sheng couldn’t control the sword in his hand well, and was worried that he would hurt Jiang Yun if he was not careful.

　　His sword did not fall for a long time, and his eyes were not blinking as he waited for Jiang Yun to move.

　　But what Gu Sheng didn’t expect was that the other party not only did not listen to him again, but smiled at him.

　　”How can a little brother protect the boss?”

　　Jiang Yun’s lips curled slightly, and he changed his previous feeling of defeat, and swung his sword to slash at the assassins beside him.

　　The assassins who had surrounded several people only felt a flash of sword light, and in an instant, all the people standing around fell to the ground, wailing and covering their shoulders.

　　Jiang Yun did not hurt the other party’s vitals.

　　After all, they were still in the market and could not kill people at will.

　　Jiang Yun did this in just two seconds. Before Gu Sheng’s anger had dissipated, he threw down the sword in his hand and smiled at the person who was still in the air, “Gu Sheng, you are mine, and I should protect you.”

　　”Now that the matter has been resolved, don’t be angry, come down.”

　　”Clang!”

　　The wooden sword landed before Gu Sheng, and when it touched the ground, it made a sound that should not belong to wooden products.

　　Then it was Gu Sheng who was slightly stunned.

　　His body fell from the air and was caught steadily by Jiang Yun standing below. The wound on the palm of his hand was bleeding again because he had just held the sword too hard.

　　Gu Sheng first glanced at Jiang Yun, and after seeing that the other party did not seem to be in trouble, he belatedly looked at the wooden sword on the ground.

　　There was a very obvious bloodstain on the hilt.

　　Gu Sheng closed his eyes.

　　It was his.

　　However, the general blood dripping recognition is to drip blood on the sword body, so the hilt should not be counted, right?

　　When Gu Sheng was feeling lucky, he suddenly heard Jiang Yun above chuckle.

　　”Shengsheng, look, there seems to be something wrong with that wooden sword.”

　　Gu Sheng:…

　　It shouldn’t be like this!

　　He took a deep breath and opened his eyes, then got down from Jiang Yun’s arms, and faced the result that he was not willing to accept with difficulty.

　　The wooden sword stood up on its own among the assassins who were staggering around, and flew towards Gu Sheng with a purpose, and finally stopped in front of Gu Sheng.

　　Gu Sheng did not move, and it did not move either.

　　The man and the sword stood there staring at each other, and after a long time, Gu Sheng seemed to have finally accepted the reality, and sighed as he grasped the hilt of the sword.

　　”Buzz–“

　　As if it felt the call of its master, the Zhaoyun Sword made a sword sound, and the light suddenly became bright.

　　Gu Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at it, and saw that the sword body was shattered bit by bit.

　　”Crack, crack.”

　　The wooden pieces scattered on the ground one by one, and then gathered together to form a scabbard.

　　The sword held in Gu Sheng’s hand revealed its original sword body.

　　It was a pure black sword with the words “Zhao Yun” engraved on it in gold, which did not match the blue clothes on Gu Sheng.

　　But when he held it in his hand, Gu Sheng felt that he was not as resistant as before.

　　He looked at the words on the sword, and then glanced at Jiang Yun who was standing beside him, thinking.

　　Anyway, whether before or after, he would stand by Jiang Yun, and when necessary, this sword could also be used by Jiang Yun.

　　Not bad.

　　Jiang Yun, who was originally responding to Gu Sheng’s gaze, lowered his eyes.

　　It was not bad.

　　He rarely used a sword when fighting with others, unless in some critical moments, this sword would be more effective in Gu Sheng’s hands than in his hands.

　　What’s more.

　　Jiang Yun looked at the conspicuous “Zhao Yun” on the sword, moved his lips slightly, and did not say a word.

　　Although he didn’t know why Gu Sheng was sure that the sword was his, but as far as Jiang Yun knew, it was not the case.

　　This sword belonged to Gu Sheng.

　　”Sorry, boss.”

　　After confirming that Zhao Yun really recognized him as his master, Gu Sheng picked up the scabbard on the ground and put it on his back, feeling a little embarrassed.

　　”I originally planned to buy this sword for you as a sword, but something unexpected happened.”

　　Gu Sheng couldn’t hear Jiang Yun’s thoughts, but could only feel that the other party’s gaze on him was a little complicated. He thought Jiang Yun was thinking about the previous argument he had with him about the ownership of the sword, but he didn’t expect that as soon as Gu Sheng opened his mouth to explain, Jiang Yun waved his hand nonchalantly.

　　”Nothing.”

　　He picked up another sword that had just been thrown on the ground, played with it in his hands, and raised his eyebrows at Gu Sheng.

　　”Since the matter has been resolved, let’s leave here first.”

　　”Okay.”

　　Gu Sheng nodded in response, but he always felt as if he had forgotten something.

　　The moment he turned around and left with Jiang Yun, he heard a small voice from behind: “Hey…”

　　Oh, I remembered, I forgot about Qi Yan.

　　Gu Sheng paused and looked sideways. Qi Yan, who was not far away, was still the same as he remembered.

　　However, due to being besieged by several people just now, the handle of the fan in his hand was a little damaged, and the clothes on his body had become wrinkled, but they were still the same ones he wore last time.

　　Seeing Gu Sheng looking over, Qi Yan mustered up the courage to ask: “Are you leaving now?”

　　No words to say to me?

　　I still want to thank you.

　　Gu Sheng read a lot of information from his eyes, and smiled back at Qi Yan’s words: “Of course I have to leave.”

　　Qi Yan’s eyes dropped instantly, but the next second he heard Gu Sheng continue to say: “You come with us.”

　　”There are too many people here. Let’s find a place with fewer people to chat.”

　　Qi Yan nodded: “Okay.”

　　——After the few people arrived at the place with fewer people, Gu Sheng first observed the surroundings, and then looked at Jiang Yun.

　　After receiving the signal from the other party that “there are no other people here”, Gu Sheng asked: “Why did those people just now surround you?”

　　”I don’t know.” Qi Yan shook his head and replied calmly under the gaze of the two, “I was just walking in the market just now, and those people surrounded me for no reason.”

　　”But I think their target is not me.”

　　After he said that, he stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes. Gu Sheng found that the other party had no other wounds on his body except for some wrinkles on his clothes. It was normal for Qi Yan to have such an idea.

　　After all, judging from the outfits of those people, they looked like assassins. Generally, assassins would bleed as soon as they attacked, and would not let their targets go intact.

　　”Since their target is not you, why did they surround you?”

　　Gu Sheng asked this question in Qi Yan’s complicated eyes, and then heard the other party sigh.

　　”Because if I heard correctly, that group of people’s target is you.”

　　Gu Sheng was confused and wanted to continue asking, but Qi Yan’s next sentence made him widen his eyes.

　　”The map fragments are in your hands, right?”

　　”Swish!”

　　Zhao Yun was unsheathed in an instant, and Gu Sheng stood in front of Jiang Yun. The kindness on his face disappeared, and he looked at Qi Yan vigilantly.

　　”How do you know?”

　　Could it be that Qi Yan also came for the map fragments?

　　Zhao Yun’s sword was half unsheathed, and the hilt was held in Gu Sheng’s hand. He stared at Qi Yan without blinking, observing his reaction.

　　Gu Sheng treated Qi Yan kindly because of some good impression of him, but if he knew that Qi Yan’s current temperament was different from that time, don’t blame him for being rude.

　　”Don’t get excited, Gu Sheng, put your sword down first.”

　　Qi Yan was obviously startled by Gu Sheng’s action, and took a half step back. When he raised his head, he resisted the urge to retreat and explained:

　　”Since I dared to tell you this in front of you, and did not leave when Jiang Yun was besieged by everyone just now, and counted the various things I helped you with before, doesn’t it prove that I am on your side?”

　　Qi Yan coughed lightly, and after saying this, he observed the reactions of Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun.

　　”What do you think?”

　　Obviously, the two people in front of him did not trust Qi Yan so much.
