refining sword

Chapter 21
"Master Chen, what are you doing?" Tie Jian quickly raised his hand to support him, surprised.

Yan Zi's expression changed slightly, as if she had guessed something.

"Miss, you don't know yet, this Young Master Tie is actually a high-level swordsman, and the Scarlet Flame Sword was actually made by him." Chen Guang looked at Yan Zi and said slowly.

"Oh? You mean..." Yan Zi looked at Tie Jian with burning eyes, her eyes twitching.Too many unusual things have happened to Tie Jian today, and he no longer knows how he is feeling at the moment.

Tie Jian in front of her was like a mysterious box set together. Every time she opened one more layer, she would be given an extra surprise.

Tie Jian looked at Yan Zi and looked at him, couldn't help but touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.He had already thought out some words to deal with Yan Zi's question, but now looking at Yan Zi's expression, in the end he couldn't say anything.

And although Yan Zi also wanted to ask clearly about Tie Jian's background and past experiences, and even wanted to know about the enemy he mentioned before, but as soon as the thought came out, she stopped it and did not violate this taboo.

"By the way... Mr. Tie, why did you ask me to accept Sun Yang's dagger before?" Yan Zi suddenly smiled, looked away, and asked instead.

"To be honest, I refined this sword from Master Chen Guang's broken sword embryo. At first, I was eager to spend money, so I sold it to Sun's family by mistake. I saw him today and insisted on giving it to the young lady. I found it interesting, so I asked the lady to accept it." A smile appeared on Tie Jian's face.

When Yan Zi heard this, she was slightly surprised at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she also felt that this time it was an empty glove, and Bai Lang couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

Tie Jian saw her appearance, his eyes flashed slightly, but then a shadow flashed in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a haze in his heart.

Although Tie Jian quickly concealed this emotion, Yan Zi was still caught.

Not long after, when they arrived outside Yan's sword shop, Tie Jian helped Chen Guang get off the carriage, bid farewell to Yan Zi, and led Yao Bin back to the sword shop.

Yan Zi and Xiao Abacus continued to travel by car, walking all the way at night, rushing in the direction of the mansion.

Back at the gate of Yan Mansion, the carriage stopped slowly.

Yan Zi lifted the sedan curtain and leaned out half of her body. She had already arrived at the small abacus beside the car, and immediately handed over a hand, waiting to help her out of the car.

"Little abacus, I remembered something and forgot to explain it to Master Chen Guang just now, and I have to go back to the sword shop again, you go back and rest first." Yan Zi seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and the movement of getting out of the car was slightly stagnant, He stopped at the same spot, and said to Xiaobaian.

"Miss, let me go with you." Xiao Suan said immediately.

"No, I can go by myself."

After Yan Zi finished speaking, she greeted the coachman, put down the car curtain, and sat back in the car.

Abacus looked at the carriage that went away and scratched his head...

……

However, when the carriage approached the door of the sword shop, Yan Zi suddenly felt her cheeks get slightly hot and became a little nervous.

She took a deep breath and calmed down a little. She opened the sedan curtain and was about to get out of the car when she saw a familiar figure turning around and passing by at the corner of the street ahead.

Under the light of the roadside shop lights, Yan Zi saw that the man was wearing a blue robe, with a gray bag on his back, and a long sword hanging from his waist.

Although it was only a short moment, she immediately confirmed that it was Tie Jian.

"You stay here..."

Yan Zi was slightly surprised. After instructing the groom, she immediately jumped out of the carriage and chased after the man.

But when she turned the corner of the street, the wide alley in front of her was empty, without a single figure.

"Yong'anmen, are you leaving now?" Yan Zi raised her head, looked towards the direction of the alley, and muttered to herself.

……

Yong'an Gate is the west gate of Yuejing City, and it is also the only one of the four gates that is not closed at night.

At this moment, in a dense forest outside the city, a road several feet wide winds through, Tie Jian is carrying a burden, walking alone in the night.

His pace was not fast, but he walked very steadily, maintaining an inherent pace, walking slowly.

When he walked under a straight yellow pine tree, his footsteps stagnate slightly, he turned around, and looked up in the direction he came from, he saw a snow-white figure hurriedly chasing here. come over.

He hesitated for a moment, and instead of continuing on his way, he stopped in place and waited for the man to catch up.

After a while, Yan Zi, who was wearing a snow-white robe, finally caught up. She was dripping with sweat and her cheeks were flushed.Yan Zi gasped slightly, but her clear eyes stared straight at Tie Jian and asked, "Why did Young Master Tie leave without saying goodbye?"

"Today's sword-making challenge will probably spread in Yuejing soon, and I'm afraid my name will also be spread. My enemies in Jin are powerful. If I knew about it, I would definitely not give up. I don't want to implicate your Yan family." Tie Jian said without hesitation.

"I said, this is Yuejing, and your enemy, even the Jin royal family, can't do whatever they want." Yan Zi stared at him stubbornly with beautiful eyes and said.

"I understand what you said, but if they start at the Jianpu or Yan's Mansion, you and the Yan family will inevitably be affected. I don't want or can't affect you." Tie Jian shook his head and said.

Yan Zi's expression moved slightly when she heard the words, and ripples could not help but sway in her heart.

"Today you broke the siege of my Yan family. I shouldn't be too demanding on you, but I have something to discuss." Yan Zi took a deep breath, looked at Tie Jian and said.

"Miss Yan, I have always been under your care. If it wasn't really helpless, I wouldn't want to leave without saying goodbye. Fortunately, now that the crisis of the Yan family has been resolved, I just..."

"Today, you solved the siege of our Yan family, you shouldn't be harsh on you, but I, I... I still have something to ask for!" Yan Zi interrupted Tie Jian's words at this time, she seemed to be down Seeing a certain determination, he took a deep breath, raised his head and said to Tie Jian.

"As long as I can do it, you can open your mouth." Tie Jian was slightly startled, and said with a smile.

"I hope you... enter the Yan family and be my husband." Yan Zi's eyes flashed slightly and she whispered.

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Tie Jian was greatly surprised.

"I hope you can be my husband and join my Yan family." Yan Zi changed her previous embarrassment and shyness, and said generously with determination.

"No, this is absolutely impossible!" Tie Jian said immediately without hesitation.

"Young Master Tie, I hope you don't rush to refuse. The reason why I have this proposal is not to despise you, nor because I really want to marry you."

Yan Zi's eyes sank slightly, and she said slowly, "I believe that the young master has also seen it during this period of time. The Yan family is now in turmoil. Although they have won the Sun family this time, the situation has not improved much. It's also because the Yan family can't afford more storms. Besides, many people in the clan objected to me taking over from my father to manage the chamber of commerce. I... The Yan family needs you..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Tie Jian's wave.

"Miss Yan, do you need my identity as a sword refiner and my eighth-level cultivation in the Qi refinement period to help you suppress the opposition within the clan?"

Yan Zi's expression was slightly astringent, and she didn't answer directly. She took a deep breath and said: "If you want, my Yan family will protect you with all my strength and provide you with everything you need for cultivation until you build your foundation. At that time, no matter what you want Whether you stay or leave, you can deal with it calmly. I know you don't necessarily care about these things, but I treat you like a helping hand, like..."

"Sorry, I really can't agree to this matter." Tie Jian cupped his hands slightly, and said very firmly.

"Why is Mr. Tie unwilling to agree? If you have other requests, you can make them, or do you say... I am annoying to you?" Yan Zi was slightly annoyed, and she said a little piqued.

"Absolutely not! Miss Yan, to be honest, I'm already engaged." Tie Jian quickly waved his hand and explained.

Yan Zi couldn't help but stagnate when she heard the words, she seemed a little surprised, and then sighed softly.

Seeing this, Tie Jian wanted to say more, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say anything.

"Since that's the case, I can't force it. However, Young Master Tie has a great favor to my Yan family. It would be rude to let you leave so quietly, and it would be contrary to the teachings of my mother during her lifetime. I also ask Young Master to come back with me first. At least allow me to prepare a feast tomorrow and practice it for you." After a long silence, Yan Zi slowly spoke.

Hearing this, Tie Jian pursed his lips slightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He originally planned to go directly to Mount Xiyou, and then go to the primeval forest to hunt monsters, so as to avoid the pursuit, and at the same time, it could also improve his cultivation by one or two.

"Okay then..." After hesitating again and again, he nodded and agreed.

A smile flashed in Yan Zi's eyes, just as she was about to speak, she saw Tie Jian, who was opposite him, suddenly stumbled over, rushed over, and pulled her into his arms.

She was completely stunned, she only felt that her mind was blank, and she fell on the gallop, was hugged tightly by Tie Jian, and rolled over into the grass by the roadside.

"Dingdingding" a series of sounds of gold and stone clashing sounded one after another.

Next to the two of them, two-foot-long short-feathered crossbow arrows were nailed into the pavement paved on the road one after another, sparking a series of golden and red sparks in the night.

In the last crossbow arrow, a string of dark golden runes were engraved on the arrow shaft. When it was nailed to the ground, the light suddenly flashed, and it exploded with a "bang".

A group of crimson flames rose in the night, and a six-foot-square deep pit was blasted out of the ground, and a large amount of smoke and dust wrapped in soil and gravel blasted in all directions.

Under the impact of the air waves, Tie Jian and the two were thrown into the air and fell into a lush wormwood bush.

As soon as he landed, he didn't care about the burning pain behind him, he quickly turned over, and with a "swoosh", he pulled out a three-colored long sword from his side, protected Yan Zi behind him, and shouted violently at the dark night in the distance. :
"who?"
