Chapter 284: Who Wins, Who Loses
ubine, he treated her so casually.Sunlight fell upon the two of them, highlighting Qin Luoyan's fair skin even more. Her long eyelashes concealed the unwillingness and sadness in her eyes. This time,..."Them" Li Yue looked in the direction Li Yunfanned pointed, surprised. It seemed he had only just noticed Qin Luoyan and Lao Liu's presence. He was stunned for a moment and said, "They also made swords"
Li Yunfan nodded slightly and then asked the abbot, "Well, are the swords they're making not finished yet"
The blacksmith hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "It's done, it's just not very nice. Everyone, don't worry, I've already told the manager to bring all the good swords from the workshop. Oh, speaking of Cao Cao, here he comes..."
When he was speaking, the one in charge rushed into the courtyard with over ten iron swords clutched in his arms. The headman quickly stepped forward to receive those treasured swords, "Look, here are the swords! These were all made by our weapons workshop." He still didn't believe it, could it be that out of so many swords, none could surpass the sword wielded by Li Yue
Li Yue remained with a disdainful look on her face, holding her sword and stood up. “Since you're here, don't waste time,” she said, then turned to General Li. “Father, if there is no sword here that can compare to the one in my hand, you must keep your promise. It just so happens that Cousin is here to witness this for us.”
General Li let out a cold snort, stroked his beard, and said: "You win after defeating all the swordsmen here!"
Provoked, Li Yue seemed to find even more excitement in the situation. He chose a sword from among his guards and headed with the man into the workshop. In the courtyard, they began to spar against each other.
But every time Li Yue swung his sword, a iron sword would shatter with a ringing clang. One after another, the crisp sounds echoed like thunder, crashing repeatedly against everyone's hearts.
However, in a short while, the courtyard was left with dozens of broken sword tips. When the guard picked up the last iron sword and walked to the middle, General Li's face had turned ashen. The head monk broke out in cold sweat, beads rolling down his forehead. Even Li Yun, unconsciously furrowed his brow.
"Gēng"
The iron swords clashed, sparks flying more brilliantly than fireworks. It's a pity that the sharp crack still ruthlessly struck everyone's hearts.
The last iron sword was also broken.
"Haha…" Li Yue looked up and smiled proudly, the more he looked at the sword in his hand, the more satisfied he became. "I told you so, my sword is the only one in the world! Those craftsmen from Beiming are indeed skilled!"
General Li slammed his fist on the table, standing up in anger. "Shut up! You're proud of yourself for getting hold of a foreign sword Don't you see that if Beiming had such skilled artisans, their national power would inevitably grow stronger At that point, which country would they pose the greatest threat to"
“Father... it's just a sword, is it really necessary to elevate it to the level of national survival Anyway, I won. My marriage is my own business, and I will make the decision myself. Right now, that's all that matters to me. Please don't try to pressure me with those heavy words.” Li Yue returned his sword to its scabbard, walked into the pavilion, and happily poured himself a bowl of wine. He drank it down in one gulp.
The air grew heavy with tension. Besides Li Yue, everyone else wore a grim expression. General Li felt humiliated and worried about the future of Nan Yue. The other patrons had no time to think deeply; they were all focused on the trouble they might face from offending Lord Li next year in terms of money. As for Li Fan, he unconsciously shifted his gaze to Qin Luoyan, his eyes filled with a touch of worry.
Everyone was lost in thought, and for a moment, the courtyard fell into an eerie silence.
Li Yue drank two large bowls of wine in quick succession, then smiled at the innkeeper and said, “Innkeeper, this is my final question to you: do you have any other good swords here If not, then consider today’s gambling match a win for me.”
“This…” The master repeatedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, wanting to say yes, but in his heart he knew that all the good swords in the workshop had been chopped by Li Yue. Although there were still many good swords, they were definitely not as good as the one in Li Yue’s hand. After losing so many precious swords, if he took out another sword and it was broken, how could he bear it.
When Fang Zhu was still hesitating, Li Yunfan suddenly stood up and walked towards Qin Luo'yan. He didn't speak until he reached Qin Luo'yan's face. "Show me the sword you made," he said.
Qin Luoyan hadn't even had time to respond when Lao Liu beside her reacted quickly, handing the jade box in his hand to Li Yunfan. "Li sir, look, this is the sword we made. Although it doesn't look very good, the quality is very good."
Lao Liu was very proactive, seemingly unwilling to give up the opportunity to please Li Yunfan. On the other hand, Qin Luoyan really couldn't show Li Yunfan too warm an expression.
"Hmm," Li Yun replied, opening the lacquered box and taking out the iron sword inside. The moment his fingers touched it, his eyes lit up instantly, and a satisfied smile curved his lips. His gaze towards Qin Luoyan was even brighter now, filled with intense interest.
He looked at her with such intensity that Qin Luoyan felt a shiver run down her spine. She could only dryly laugh twice.
When Li Yunfan retracted his gaze, he walked with an iron sword to the open space in the courtyard and shouted towards Li Yue in the pavilion: “Li Yue, come out! I'll compare your sword with my iron sword. If I lose this time, consider me defeated. By my testimony, your father will definitely not break the agreement. But… if I win, then you’re considered defeated, how about that”
"Well, with Big Brother's word, I won't be afraid of my father backing out!" Li Yuele grinned, brandishing his sword as he swaggered out, exuding an aura of unwavering determination.
Li Yunfan stood tall, his figure elongated by the candlelight. He appeared even more upright and capable. One would never believe that such a man was merely a purchasing manager for an arms workshop. He would be mistaken for someone of higher standing on any street.
All the people in the courtyard were mesmerized, especially Li Yunfan's graceful figure brandishing his long sword, which made one think of the idiom "peerless elegance".
Even Qin Luoyan couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. If she hadn't already had Fu Zimo, that devilishly handsome husband of hers, she would have been irresistibly drawn to such a captivating Li Yunfan.
"Cousin, I'm here!" Li Yue shouted, brandishing his sword and charging towards Li Yunfan.
Li Yunfan only smiled faintly, and only raised his sword when Li Yue charged at him.
This time, a crisp sound was also emitted.
All night long, everyone had been tormented by that crisp sound to the point of numbness, so when it rang out again, almost everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Even General Li, unable to contain his anxiety, stepped forward nervously, seemingly wanting to see clearly who would win this clash of swords.
But the sparks that flew between the two swords were brighter than ever before. Everyone felt a flash of white light, so intense for a moment that it even blinded them.
