I Have A Sword

Chapter 70: Losing Out

Everyone stared blankly at Ye Guan. There was no way people would believe him even if he said that there wasn’t a Great Sword Immortal backing him. After all, it was impossible for someone to become a swordsman without a sword dao inheritance.

Sword dao inheritances were rare, even throughout the Zhongtu Divine Continent. In other words, it would be even rarer in Nanzhou. Ye Guan’s accomplishments in the Sword Dao meant that he had a powerful backer who gave him a sword dao inheritance.

Lee Yun smiled mockingly at Ye Guan. It was too late for the latter to say that he had no backer.

Lee Ge’s projection vanished and reappeared in front of Little Pagoda and Ye Guan.

Lee Yun kneeled at the illusory figure and greeted politely, “Greetings, Ancestor!”

The True Dragon Clan members were delighted at the sight. An ancestor of the Shenge Clan has descended! An ancestor of a clan is a legendary figure of that clan, and they were renowned figures even in the vast Guanxuan Universe.

Lee Ge stared at Little Pagoda and frowned. “Why do I find you familiar?”

Little Pagoda said calmly, “Oh, really?”

Lee Ge stared at Little Pagoda, “How may I address you, esteemed sir?”

Little Pagoda replied, “Master Pagoda.”

Pagoda! Lee Ge’s expression changed drastically, and she stared at Little Pagoda in disbelief.

“You—” Lee Ge barely stopped herself in time.

She then turned to look at Ye Guan in shock and muttered, “He…”

Little Pagoda wordlessly stared at Lee Ge.

Lee Ge instantly understood. Ye Guan was that man’s son.

He was the chosen one and the big boss of this generation’s Guanxuan Academy.

Lee Ge was taken aback. He’s here! He’s finally here!

Meanwhile, Lee Yun noticed the incongruity and spoke, “Ancestor, he’s the one who severed our Shenge Clan’s destiny! They also said that they’re going to wipe the Shenge Clan off the face of the earth—’

“Shut up!” Lee Ge rebuked.

Boom!

There was a loud explosion as Lee Yun flew at least a hundred meters away. He rolled a few times on the ground before recovering and getting back on his feet. However, he was bleeding from all of his orifices and was riddled with injuries.

The onlookers were terrified.

Lee Ge took a deep breath and walked toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan raised his guard and gripped the Path Sword tightly. Lee Ge finally noticed the Path Sword, and her pupils constricted upon seeing it.

That woman chose him as well? A hint of agony flashed in Lee Ge’s countenance. It was clear that her clan members had somehow offended the young man.

Ye Guan stared warily at Lee Ge.

“What are you trying to do?” he asked.

Lee Ge came to a halt. She stood frozen for quite a while before muttering, “Sorry...”

She’s apologizing? The Shenge Clan members were stunned. Why is Ancestor apologizing to him?

Ye Guan was stupefied. Why is she apologizing to me?

“Young man, this is my Shenge Clan’s fault. Can you find it in your heart to forgive us?” Lee Ge pleaded.

“I—” Ye Guan started.

However, Master Pagoda beat him to the chase and said, “Shake your head if you don’t want to forgive them and nod if you want to. Don’t say anything else, and don’t be too worried. Just nod or shake your head. Leave the rest to me.”

Anguish briefly appeared on Lee Ge’s face. It seemed that her Shenge Clan had thoroughly offended Master Pagoda.

Ye Guan eventually shook his head. Forgive them? This wasn’t the first time that Shenge had attempted to kill him, so how could he forgive them? He wasn’t dumb enough to release a tiger back into the mountains.

Little Pagoda wordlessly turned to Lee Ge upon seeing Ye Guan’s decision.

Lee Ge was silent for quite a while before she turned to the Shenge Clan members.

“Tell me everything,” she said.

She had to know the truth. If it turned out that the feud wasn’t the Shenge Clan’s fault, she could use her relationship with Master Pagoda to plead for the Shenge Clan’s survival.

The Chosen One wouldn’t be able to wipe the Shenge Clan off the face of the earth without sufficient justification.

A clan elder hesitantly stepped forward at Lee Ge’s command. Lee Ge stared indifferently at the clan elder and said, “Start from the beginning and do not omit any detail. I’ll kill you if you try to exaggerate or twist the facts!”

The clan elder nodded profusely and spoke in detail. He told Lee Ge everything that happened, including how Ye Guan had expressed his intentions of joining them. Lee Ge clenched her fists upon hearing that part, and she glared murderously at Lee Yun.

Upon hearing how they rejected Ye Guan, Lee Ge shook her head in agony. However, Lee Ge’s eyes turned as cold as a blizzard upon hearing how the Shenge Clan had not only rejected Ye Guan but they had also colluded with the True Dragon Clan.

The clan elder continued his exposition, and no one else spoke until he was done.

Lee Ge was silent for quite a while after the clan elder was done.

In the end, she could only come up with one solution: kill!

Lee Yun’s voice was trembling as he muttered, “Ancestor—”

Lee Ge waved her sleeve, and Lee Yun collapsed into a pile of dust.

He died both body and soul.

The powerhouses of the Shenge Clan were stunned.

Lee Ge waved her sleeve once more, and a cataclysmic energy swept across the True Dragon World.

The powerhouses of the Shenge Clan crumbled into ashes before they could even react.

The True Dragon Clan members were frozen in fear.

Ye Guan was stupefied. What just happened?

Lee Ge’s expression was complex as she turned to look at Ye Guan and said, “Our Shenge Clan has erred. I apologize for their mistakes. The powerhouses of the Shenge Clan are no more. Are their deaths enough to atone for my clan’s sins?”

Ye Guan stared blankly at Lee Ge before asking, “Will you avenge them in the future?”

Lee Ge hurriedly shook her head and said, “No, no, no. If you can’t believe me, ask Master Pagoda.”

Ye Guan turned to look at Little Pagoda.

Little Pagoda was silent. He didn’t expect that Lee Gee would act so decisively and personally slaughter the powerhouses of her clan.

She was truly a ruthless woman!

Little Pagoda took a moment to compose himself before saying, “Don’t worry, she won’t avenge them.”

Ye Guan didn’t say anything in response.

Meanwhile, Lee Ge turned to look at the True Dragons.

She waved her sleeve, and a wave of cataclysmic might swept across the True Dragon World. Hundreds of dragon heads abruptly fell to the ground with dull thuds. Lee Ge had killed them with a flick of her sleeve. The True Dragon Clan was no more!

Ye Guan’s expression changed.

Lee Ge was so powerful that it was almost inconceivable.

Lee Ge turned to look at Ye Guan and smiled. “If you’re not satisfied yet, I will kill the remaining members of the Shenge Clan.”

Little Pagoda looked at Lee Ge and criticized her inwardly. She hasn’t changed at all. She’s still as shrewd as ever. She didn’t mind killing the powerhouses of the Shenge Clan earlier for the sake of damage control.

She killed them to retreat one step and take two steps down the road. She even killed the remaining members of the True Dragon Clan as a sign of goodwill.

She even deliberately said that she was willing to kill the remaining members of the Shenge Clan to satisfy Ye Guan. In other words, Ye Guan will feel like it’s too much for him to allow the massacre of so many people just because he’s still dissatisfied.

Little Pagoda took one glance at Ye Guan and saw through Ye Guan’s decision, which assuaged his fury.

Of course, Little Pagoda was also willing to forgive the Shenge Clan. After all, Lee Ge had been helpful to his Young Master back then. She also handled the situation properly. They could still annihilate the Shenge Clan, but it would be tantamount to stepping on Lee Ge’s goodwill, which was admittedly too much.

Little Pagoda shook his head. What a capable and shrewd woman!

Ye Guan stared deeply at Lee Ge and said, “I can let the Shenge Clan go, but I have a condition.”

Lee Ge blinked in astonishment. Soon, she smiled ever so slightly and said, “Say it!”

Ye Guan’s voice sounded serious as he said, “You will owe me a favor.”

“Deal!” Lee Ge replied hastily, and she broke out into a grin. She was delighted by the pleasant surprise that had come knocking on her doors.

Little Pagoda shook his head. You fool! You’re losing out here! You’re really losing out!

However, it seemed that Lee Ge was still not satisfied as she added, “My Shenge Clan has truly erred, so I think one favor isn’t enough. How about two—no three favors! I want to express my gratitude as well, so I owe you three favors. It’s a deal!”

Ye Guan didn’t know what to say.
