Chapter 24 Beauty is a disaster
Chu Wujiang can choose not to see other people.

But Huo Qiu Shui couldn't miss it.

After all, Chu Wujiang used the other party's maid as a witness today, trying to drag the Huo family into the water, and snatched the [Dragon Wing Sword] that the other party had reserved, condensing new luck.

Huo Qiu Shui had suffered an unexpected disaster and he must seek revenge.

What's more, she is a famous "beauty who brings disaster".

Chu Wujiang changed into a gorgeous suit, walked over quickly, and said with a chuckle:

"Miss Huo is visiting, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

"Come here, serve the tea, the best Da Hong Pao."

Huo Qiu Shui, as her name suggests, is indeed a beauty who brings disaster.

She was dressed in white and had an extremely beautiful face, which was even more beautiful than Hong Yanling. However, what attracted people the most was her unique pair of eyes with three white spots, which were like the clear waves on a moonlit night, mysterious and deep.

A woman with three white eyes is likely to be unlucky in marriage.

The Huo family had arranged several marriages for her, but all her fiancés were unlucky, and her reputation as a beauty who brings disaster spread quickly.

As a result, she stayed in the Huo family and remained unmarried.

Chu Wujiang recalled the information related to her and couldn't help feeling a sense of sympathy.

Huo Qiu Shui was sitting in her seat, feeling a little angry at first, but when she saw Chu Wujiang's appearance, she couldn't help but feel less angry.

Girls all like handsome guys.

Chu Wujiang was originally handsome, and with his progress in martial arts, his skin became as beautiful as ice and bones, and he exuded a unique fragrance.

Any woman who sees him, even if she isn't completely head over heels in love with him, will at least increase her favorability by 50.

Huo Qiushui was not tempted by the beauty, but he unconsciously changed his tone and said:

"Lord Longcheng is so majestic. As soon as he returned to Longcheng, he snatched the things I had reserved."

"It would be fine if they just robbed me, but you even made me come here in person to ask for it."

"That's a bit too overbearing."

Huo Qiu Shui lived up to her reputation as a beauty who brings disaster. When she complained, her every frown and smile were so touching that Coach Wang and the others forgot to blame her for a moment and looked dazed.

cough!
You are such a disgrace!
Chu Wujiang coughed, causing his men to come back to their senses. They lowered their heads to look at the floor, then waved their hands and said:

"Ms. Huo is right. It was Chu who was reckless."

"Someone, bring the Dragon Wing Knife and apologize to Miss Huo."

Soon, the maids served fragrant tea and the dragon-wing sword that had been drained of its luck.

So this means the property is returned to its original owner?
Huo Qiu Shui frowned slightly, and stared at the Dragon Wing Knife with her unique three-white eyes, taking a closer look.

Before Chu Wujiang could speak, the Huo family's eldest daughter's jade hand suddenly released thunder.

The Extreme Prison Lightning Art—Thunder Soul!
The thunder pierced through the Dragon Wing Sword, making a crackling sound.

"Lord Longcheng, I'm afraid this knife is not right. It has lost its charm."

"The Champion Marquis of the previous dynasty was a powerful man at the Yuanshen level. This Dragon Wing Sword, even if it was just the sword he wore when he was young, shouldn't be so dull and dark."

"Could it be that Baojianzhai deceived you and replaced you with a fake one?"

It turns out that no one in this world is easy to fool.

Chu Wujiang originally planned to take the luck and then return the Dragon Wing Sword as a favor.

I didn’t expect Huo Qiu Shui to be an expert who had a way to confirm whether luck existed.

He no longer concealed it and readily admitted:
"Miss Huo's guess is correct. This Dragon Wing Sword has been moved away by Chu through the secret method of transferring energy."

"If Miss Huo wants any compensation, I can also ask Baojianzhai for it for you."

Anyway, Mr. Mingyu agreed and Baojianzhai will handle this matter.

Chu Wujiang could naturally agree to it generously.

Huo Qiushui's eyes were like water. She stared at Chu Wujiang for a moment and smiled unconsciously:
"Lord Longcheng is honest and did not deceive me."

"Baojianzhai gave the Dragon Wing Sword to you, but now its luck has been lost and its value has plummeted."

"In that case, I am willing to pay fifty thousand taels of silver to buy it. What do you think, sir?"

Now it was Chu Wujiang's turn who didn't understand.

The secret treasure of luck is actually not very useful.

It just adds a little subtle help.

For example, if the Dragon Wing Sword has 800 points of wealth on it and is placed at home, after being adjusted by a Feng Shui master, it can help a family earn a few hundred taels more a year.

That's it.

It is useful, but not that useful. It can only be considered an amplifier.

Otherwise, the rich and powerful would have plenty of money to bring good fortune, so how could their families fall into poverty?

Chu Wujiang only has the [Book of Death], which allows him to bring his luck to its limit.

"What money do you want?"

"If Miss Huo wants it, Chu will give it to you."

Seeing that the eldest daughter of the Huo family was willing to reason, Chu Wujiang readily agreed, which made Huo Qiushui slightly stunned:
"Does Lord Long Cheng know nothing about the Huo family?"

Chu Wujiang was surprised, it seemed that he had overlooked some information.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.

Even if Chu Wujiang were asked to pay this price to buy a secret treasure of luck, he might not be willing to do so.

The Huo family is just an ordinary noble family, how could they be so willing to give?

The secret treasures of luck are like weapons. The older they are, the more powerful they are. Time will take away everything.

The longer the time, the more serious the loss of luck. This dragon wing knife may not be as useful as a hundred-tempered weapon.

Chu Wujiang immediately tried to remedy the situation and asked:

"May I ask what the secret is?"

Huo Qiushui pondered for a moment and said:
"Lord Longcheng, you may not know that the Huo family's ancestral martial arts, the "Extreme Prison Lightning Art", was inherited by the previous dynasty's Champion Marquis."

"This is no secret in Dragon City."

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized.

Six hundred years ago, a son of destiny was born in the Dragon Vein Dynasty. He was given the title of Champion Marquis and was one of the strongest people in the Dragon Vein Dynasty.

Before Chu Wujiang could continue to ask, Huo Qiushui said with deep emotion:

"The champion of the previous dynasty, Hou Nangong Wang, is a child of destiny that is rare in ten thousand years."

"At the age of sixteen, he won the first place in the Tianjiao Ranking, went on an expedition to the desert, defeated the barbarians, and was awarded the title of marquis at a young age."

"He advanced to the Yuanling realm at the age of eighteen, and to the Yuanshen realm at the age of nineteen, setting the fastest record in ten thousand years."

The gap between people is indeed quite big.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but gasp.

It's like Caesar seeing the statue of Alexander and bursting into tears.

Others have achieved success at a young age, but I am still so ordinary.

"As a true man, this is what you should do."

Huo Qiushui shook his head and said:
"That's not necessarily the case."

"The Champion Marquis was twenty years old, in the prime of his life, when he died suddenly during an expedition to the Great Yong Dynasty. The cause of his death is unknown."

"There are even historians who believe that if the Champion Marquis had not died, our dynasty might not have been able to kill the Emperor Wu."

Well, it's more important to be alive.

Chu Wujiang roughly understood it.

The Huo family received part of the inheritance from the Champion Marquis, so they wanted to continue collecting.

This is no secret to the nobles of Longzhou.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

"Miss Huo, if there is really a legacy on this Dragon Wing Sword, it is unlikely to have survived until now."

Huo Qiushui nodded and said:
"It's natural."

"The Huo family has no intention of inheriting the entire legacy. They only want to collect the remains of the Champion Marquis and build a tomb to repay the legacy."

"So the Huo family is willing to pay a high price to purchase the relics."

"Lord Longcheng can reconsider."

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Wujiang raised his teacup, took a sip and said:

"Ms. Huo underestimates Chu."

"Once a man has made his word, it is hard to follow him."

"Since you said you want to give it to Miss Huo, then I don't want a penny."

Huo Qiushui bit her lip lightly and said with some appreciation:
"If Lord Longcheng was not affected by his fate, he might be like Marquis Guanjun, be crowned a marquis at a young age, and make great achievements."

"In the past, our ancestors set up a special inheritance to commemorate the Champion Marquis, asking the clan members to recommend young talents to inherit the ancestor's inheritance. The higher the talent, the better the inheritance."

"If you hand over a relic of the Champion Marquis, you can be recommended once. Plus, Lord Longcheng is in the right age. Unfortunately..."

Huo Qiushui thought of Chu Wujiang, who was also limited by his fate, and felt a little pity for him, which made Chu Wujiang laugh out loud:
"Miss Huo, you are wrong."

"My life is in my own hands, not in the hands of God."

"If Miss Huo is willing to recommend, Chu can also participate in the inheritance."

My life is in my hands, not in the hands of God.

Huo Qiushui thought of his own experience and could not help but recite it silently, still shaking his head and saying:

"But Lord Longcheng, this inheritance requires at least the Yuantai realm."

Chu Wujiang said with a smile:
"Look, isn't that just a coincidence?"

Chu Wujiang extracted the vital energy from his dantian, raised the teacup, and froze the steaming tea into ice.

"The transformation of the Yuan Qi? The Yuan Tai is fully formed?"

Huo Qiu Shui's mouth suddenly opened wide.

According to the Huo family's information, Chu Wujiang should not know martial arts.

Even if he overcame his fate, this was too fast progress. How could he have reached the last step of the Yuantai realm?

After a warrior has cultivated to the point of great success in his Yuantai, he will reach the final [Perfection] realm, where he will begin to master the changes in his Yuanqi and be able to turn ice into fire. This is the Perfect realm.

Chu Wujiang certainly did not reach the state of perfection.

But he was hung up.

His special physique of icy skin and jade-like bones allowed him to master the power of ice and snow during the [Ju Yuan] stage.

"Ms. Huo, can you recommend someone for me?"

Huo Qiushui said absentmindedly:

"Of course, I will welcome you at the Huo Mansion."
