Nine Heavens Sword Emperor

Lin Che nodded. From her somewhat lonely eyes, he guessed that Shangguan Ningxin's mother might have passed away.

"Come in." Shangguan Ningxin said impatiently.

Lin Che followed her into her boudoir. Although this female gambler did not look like a rich lady, the room was clean and fragrant.

However, the decoration in her room was interesting. Several large jade sieves were quite novel, and various types of gambling cards were neatly arranged.

"Find a place to sit by yourself, I'll find some money." Shangguan Ningxin waved her hand.

Lin Che nodded and sat on a comfortable armchair. On the surface, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, but in fact, he was secretly exploring a trace of spiritual breath.

Shangguan Ningxin rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and then took out the space ring that had not been used for a long time to try her luck, but it seemed that it would be difficult for her to get a thousand Xuanyu.

"Senior, how is it?"

In his sea of ​​consciousness, Qi Yan stroked his beard. Although he could not use a trace of spiritual power, his spiritual consciousness was at the level of "Nine Heavens and Eight Emperors".

"The strength of Shangguan Mansion is indeed not bad. The strongest spiritual breath should be Shangguan Yun, who is at the peak of the Transformation Realm. The actual combat power will only be stronger. In addition to him, there are more than ten strong men in the Transformation Realm in the mansion, and nearly fifty in the Profound Heaven Realm.

It is not easy for you and Yu Yatou to subdue these people quietly, and as a first-class force, it is still unknown what kind of spiritual weapon Shangguan Yun has." Qi Yan pondered.

"Didn't they say that the Shangguan family has another half-saint ancestor?"

"I didn't sense it. I guess he's not in Shangguan Mansion, but in seclusion somewhere else."

Lin Che nodded, "With one less half-saint, half the trouble is gone."

The Shangguan family secretly works for the Heavenly Palace. There are definitely not many people who know about this secret. It is estimated that only Shangguan Yun can contact Gu Xiuyuan, so Yu Shiqian must suppress Shangguan Yun instantly with absolute force, and must not alarm other warriors of the Shangguan family, let alone give them the opportunity to mobilize the formation.

There are all kinds of strong people in Yulin City. This battle cannot make too much noise, otherwise Yu Shiqian will have a hard time getting away.

"Damn it, I, Shangguan Ningxin, only have this little money left." Shangguan Ningxin sat next to Lin Che helplessly and placed the two hundred Xuanyu in his hand in front of him.

"There are still eight hundred left." Lin Che put the Xuanyu away.

"Don't worry, my gambling habit is well known to the world, I won't default on you." Shangguan Ningxin said helplessly, holding his chin.

"I'm going to borrow some money, do you want to come with me, or wait for me here?"

Lin Che was slightly stunned, "It's not good for me to be alone in your boudoir, I'd better go with you."

The latter glanced at him, "You are so young, but you have a lot of ideas."

Then she took Lin Che out of the courtyard. Lin Che pretended to be amazed at the luxury and vastness of Shangguan Mansion on the surface, but in fact he secretly remembered the route he passed by and the distribution of strong people in his mind.

Lin Che followed Shangguan Ningxin to meet three people in total, including her niece Shangguan Yu, one of her uncles, and even an old servant.

It was the first time that Lin Che saw a family owner's sister actually borrowing money from the old servant in the family.

But it was obvious that the Shangguan family had long been accustomed to Shangguan Ningxin's gambling addiction, and they did not lend her enough money. She only borrowed 400 Xuanyu from the three people in total.

As the night deepened, Shangguan Ningxin sat on the swing tiredly, while Lin Che leaned against the wall with his arms around his shoulders and looked at her.

Although the Shangguan family was large, there were only a few people she could borrow money from, because Shangguan Yun had expressly forbidden to lend money to Shangguan Ningxin, because for a gambler, no matter how much money was spent, it would be wasted.

These three people were the ones who had the best relationship with her, so they secretly lent her some money behind the back of the head of the family.

Lin Che was secretly proud of this, because he had visited most of the Shangguan Mansion today.

"Do you think I'm pathetic?" Shangguan Ningxin suddenly looked at Lin Che and said faintly.

"No, if your sister, Shangguan Yun, was pathetic, then 99% of the people in Yulin City could die." Lin Che said lightly.

Shangguan Ningxin glanced at Lin Che with a reproachful look.

"I still have one last person to borrow money from, let's go." . . .

In a small courtyard, a young man was practicing a sword technique.

The young man had a handsome appearance and an extraordinary demeanor. He was shirtless, and his muscular lines were like a perfect work of art, shining in the moonlight.

Lin Che looked at him carefully. He seemed to be two or three years younger than himself, but his swordsmanship was remarkable.

"My good nephew, do you miss your aunt?" Shangguan Ningxin walked over with a smile.

"Aunt." The young man stopped his swordsmanship when he saw her.

"Who is this?" The young man looked at Lin Che in confusion. He could faintly feel an invisible sword intent from Lin Che.

"He is a friend of my aunt. He came to our Shangguan family to hang out." Shangguan Ningxin said casually.

This young man must be Shangguan Yun's youngest son - Shangguan Ling, the martial arts fanatic in the intelligence.

Lin Che nodded to Shangguan Ling in a friendly manner.

The latter looked at Shangguan Ningxin helplessly. He knew very well that his aunt had no friends.

She didn't like getting along with the ladies from the powerful families in Yulin City, and she also rejected several noble men who came to her house to propose marriage. It seemed that her life was only about gambling.

As time went by, naturally no one wanted to associate with her.

"How much do you want to borrow this time?" Shangguan Ling looked at her helplessly.

The latter coughed dryly and said with a smile, "How many do you have, Xiao Ling'er?"

Shangguan Ling looked at her helplessly, "Dad said I can't lend you money. The most I can do is secretly lend you a hundred mysterious jade."

"One hundred? Have you forgotten how much my sister-in-law loved you since childhood? She takes you out to play every day and practices martial arts with you. You have forgotten all these, right." Shangguan Ning Xin hugged her shoulders and snorted coldly.

"You have the nerve to say that. Last time you borrowed money and promised to teach me how to practice martial arts, a few months have passed and I haven't even seen you."

"You!" Shangguan Ning Xin glared at him angrily and stamped her feet fiercely. Unexpectedly, her own nephew was unwilling to help her.

"Humph, my sister-in-law's words don't count anyway." Shangguan Ling also turned his head to the side angrily.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Lin Che suddenly smiled.

"Actually, your sister-in-law has not forgotten to teach you how to practice martial arts. It was she who asked you to teach you how to practice swordsmanship." Lin Che said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them looked at Lin Che in confusion.

Although Shangguan Ling is still young, his swordsmanship talent is not weak, and he studies the swordsmanship day and night. His swordsmanship skills are not something that just any warrior outside can point out.

"My sister-in-law asked you to teach me swordsmanship?" Shangguan Ling asked in surprise.

"Of course, but I just watched you practice swordsmanship. You are too far behind. You are still far from the threshold for me to teach you." Lin Che sighed helplessly.

Shangguan Ning Xin looked at Lin Che speechlessly, do you want to help me or do you want to make things more tense?

"Oh? Your Majesty, what do you mean, my swordsmanship is not just as good as yours? I'm not even qualified to be taught by you?" Shangguan Ling looked at Lin Che with a sneer.

"That's indeed what I mean." Lin Che nodded.

"Haha, I, Shangguan Ling, started practicing swordsmanship when I was four years old. I have been practicing hard for more than eleven years now, and I have never seen anyone as arrogant as you." Shangguan Ling picked up the sword in his hand and said sternly, "Since you said I am far behind, I want to see what your level is!"

Shangguan Ning Xin was about to stop him, but found Lin Che picking up a branch from the ground with a smile.

"If you can persist in three moves without losing, I will crawl out." Lin Che held the branch in her hand and played with it. . .

Ruyan Inn, Room 3, Tianzi.

Yu Shiqian was sitting cross-legged on the bed. She looked out the window at the bright moonlight and the stars, and frowned slightly, wondering why Lin Che hadn't come back yet.

"Dang Dang Dang." A crisp knock on the door came.

"Who?" Yu Shiqian said in a cold voice.

"I'm Qixun, sister Yu, please open the door."
