Chapter 1337: Chapter 1136: Agreeing to the Engagement
Wu Jian didn’t expect Chen Tianlong, so young, to have such exquisite swordsmanship. It’s a pity his strength isn’t enough; otherwise, he might not have been able to beat him. So he felt secretly lucky.
Chen Tianlong fought valiantly, battling over fifty rounds, but in the end, due to the difference in strength, was knocked to the ground by Wu Jian’s sword Qi, spitting blood.
Taking advantage of the situation, Wu Jian stepped forward and pointed his sword at Chen Tianlong’s chest.
"Haha, I told you, you’re no match for me. Hand over the sword, and I won’t kill you."
"No need, the sword cannot be given to you unless you kill me." Chen Tianlong maintained his stance.
"Alright, since you insist, don’t blame me." Saying this, he prepared to stab.
At this moment, Wu Mengting leaped in front of Chen Tianlong, blocking Wu Jian’s sword.
"Dad, if you want to kill, kill me first. I brought him, and I cannot be unfaithful or unfeeling."
"You, get out of my way." Wu Jian felt a mix of disappointment and anger, but he wanted this outcome precisely.
"I won’t. I will not move. Even if I die, I want to die with Chen Tianlong." Wu Mengting stated firmly.
Wu Jian was infuriated, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Suddenly, he thought of an idea and smiled, "Alright, dear daughter, I won’t kill him."
Wu Mengting, seeing the situation, thought her father had given up, immediately hugged him, broke into a smile and said, "Thank you, dad."
But the next moment, Wu Jian turned, and the sword aimed at Chen Tianlong. Chen Tianlong was startled by this sudden move, quickly hit the ground to rebound and leap up, but it was too late, and the sword was knocked out of his hand, falling nearby.
Under the pretext, Wu Jian kicked and landed a strike on Chen Tianlong’s chest; Chen Tianlong bounced several meters away, fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood, supporting himself with one hand.
Suddenly, Wu Mengting’s voice came from behind.
"Dad, if you dare move against Chen Tianlong again, I’ll die right in front of you."
Wu Mengting held the Dragon Slayer Sword; its blade emitting an orange glow, standing clear in the night.
The Dragon Slayer Sword’s blade was now pressed against Wu Mengting’s neck.
Seeing this, Wu Jian was startled; he didn’t expect his daughter to disregard her life for this guy. But he knew his daughter’s character; once she says something, she means it.
Therefore, he gave up, because his daughter was still very important in his heart.
"Dear daughter, don’t do anything foolish, dad won’t pursue it anymore."
"No, I don’t believe you; you must swear, or I’ll die before you." Wu Mengting no longer trusted her father, having been tricked earlier.
"Fine, I swear not to go after the sword anymore, is that good enough?"
Wu Jian had his answer; his daughter was determined about Chen Tianlong, even if she would be plagued by Demonic Qi because of him, she still resolutely followed Chen Tianlong, leaving him completely helpless.
Thinking of this, Wu Jian said, "Chen Tianlong, listen to me. I won’t take your Dragon Slayer Sword, but you have to agree to one condition."
At this point, Chen Tianlong, having adjusted his breathing, wasn’t seriously injured and curiously asked, "What condition?"
"In a while, hold an engagement ceremony with Mengting, then I’ll agree not to pursue the Dragon Slayer Sword matter. If not, I’ll continue to pursue it."
Wu Jian’s words left Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong speechless. Who forces someone to marry their daughter, especially such a beautiful girl? Chen Tianlong even thought he misheard.
"Father-in-law, do we really need to get engaged so soon? Mengting is still studying." Chen Tianlong didn’t remember the past with Wu Mengting, naturally unaware that they were already engaged.
"Yes, you can choose not to get engaged, but the sword, I will surely take." Wu Jian threatened.
"Gah?" Now Chen Tianlong was even more speechless.
Wu Mengting approached, feeling a bit shy, asking: "Dad, what are you saying, why such an early engagement, are you dissatisfied with me?"
"Chen Tianlong, will you agree or not? I’m waiting for your response; do you think I’m joking?" Wu Jian continued pressing.
Chen Tianlong thought about it, wondering whether it’s true or not. If agreeing would stop Wu Jian from targeting the Dragon Slayer Sword, that would be a good thing.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong said, "Okay, I agree."
"Huh?" This time Wu Mengting was stunned; what did these two men think they were doing to me?
"Haha, deal." Seeing Chen Tianlong agree, Wu Jian relaxed, knowing that if his daughter hadn’t risked everything to save him, he wouldn’t have come to this tactic.
"Dad, what’s going on, I haven’t even agreed yet?" Wu Mengting was overwhelmed with shyness, inexplicably married off.
"Uh, I don’t care, anyway Chen Tianlong agreed to marry you, this is a matter for you two, go discuss it yourselves." Wu Jian shrugged.
"Dad, you..." Wu Mengting was speechless.
"Ah-ha, that’s settled then, Chen Tianlong, you’re not going to go back on your word, right? If you do, I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth to take back the Dragon Slayer Sword, hmph." Saying this, he acted as if nothing had happened, and went back to his room to sleep.
Now only Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong were left outside, looking at each other in astonishment.
"Alright, Chen Tianlong, go get some sleep, it’s very late now."
Wu Mengting felt a bit shy, mainly embarrassed.
"Um, then I’ll go to sleep."
Chen Tianlong also sensed something off about the atmosphere.
With that, they each returned to their rooms to sleep. The night passed without words, and soon it was dawn...
Early the next morning, Chen Tianlong felt he shouldn’t stay here any longer, so he decided to bid farewell to Wu Mengting. Upon hearing this, Wu Jian summoned them both to the hall, intending to share a secret with Chen Tianlong.
"Chen Tianlong, there’s a secret I’d like to share with you." Wu Jian said mysteriously.
"Uh? What secret?" Chen Tianlong wasn’t clear about the manor master’s secret.
"Actually, your Dragon Slayer Sword—I checked historical texts all night and found it’s not yet activated; otherwise, its power would be far more." Wu Jian paused, then continued, "From what I understand, to activate the Soul of the Sword, you must visit Taihang Mountain to meet someone who knows the activation method."
"Oh? Who is that person?" Chen Tianlong pretended not to know, deliberately asking, not knowing who to find despite Master Void mentioning Taihang Mountain.
"Daoist Taiyi."
"Daoist Taiyi? What’s his connection with Taihang Mountain?" Chen Tianlong asked, puzzled.
"Of course, Daoist Taiyi is the master of the Taihang Sect. Once you meet him, you’ll learn the activation method for the Dragon Slayer Sword; however, his temperament is peculiar, so it’s up to your fate." Wu Jian expressed his concern.
After hearing this, Chen Tianlong felt even less certain; it’s challenging to meet a master. Just then, Wu Jian spoke again.
"Mengting, you must accompany your husband."
He feared Chen Tianlong might leave and never return; if he ran off like that, the Dragon Slayer Sword would truly be gone without a trace.
