"No, you have to apologize. Old Ma, Xiao Fang, are you going too?" Zhao Fangqiu said.
"I... I won't go," Ma Jie quickly waved his hand. He was still frightened from earlier, worried that Jiang Chen would hold a grudge and cause him trouble. Now that he finally hoped for Jiang Chen to leave, how could he dare to approach him?
"Then Tingting, let's just the two of us go. We should hurry out; if we’re late, Mr. Jiang might leave," Zhao Fangqiu suggested.
When Jiang Chen returned, he noticed some people heading towards the Sword Immortal Ruins.
At the exit of the Qinling Mountains, Jiang Chen saw a helicopter parked in an open area, which stood out prominently. Ye Xiaoying was waiting eagerly.
Seeing Jiang Chen come out, Ye Xiaoying quickly approached him. Her usually stern and cold face was now filled with smiles.
"Mr. Jiang, I apologize for any offense earlier; please don't take it to heart," Ye Xiaoying said.
"Is there something you need from me?" Jiang Chen asked calmly.
"Well, Mr. Jiang, I just heard Elder Li mention your expertise in swordsmanship. I realized that you are also a master of the sword path. I've been stagnant in my sword practice for these past few years. If you could offer me some guidance, I would be immensely grateful," Ye Xiaoying said with a somewhat flattering smile.
Jiang Chen's star-like eyes gazed steadily at Ye Xiaoying.
Feeling a bit shy under his gaze, Ye Xiaoying awkwardly chuckled.
"Of course, Mr. Jiang, I'm not asking for your guidance for free. I know you lack nothing, but whatever you require from me, I will do my utmost to fulfill," Ye Xiaoying added.
"Ye Jian Sheng, Mr. Jiang doesn't just casually offer guidance; you might want to think twice," Li Fushi quickly interjected. He hadn’t even mustered the courage to ask Jiang Chen for pointers himself and was surprised that Ye Xiaoying had the audacity to jump in first.
Li Fushi's comment made Ye Xiaoying even more embarrassed.
"Elder Li, let's pretend I never said anything," Ye Xiaoying quickly replied, realizing that his request was indeed a bit presumptuous.
However, what neither Ye Xiaoying nor Li Fushi expected was that Jiang Chen smiled lightly and said, "Since Ye Jian Sheng is so eager to improve himself, how could I not help? However, the path of swordsmanship relies on personal enlightenment. Here’s what I obtained from the Sword Immortal Tomb earlier—the Sword Immortal Sword Manual. Ye Jian Sheng, take a look at it."
After speaking, Jiang Chen took out the Sword Manual and tossed it to Ye Xiaoying. Ye Xiaoying caught it with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
Li Fushi and the others from Shen Xue Men were equally astonished.
Jiang Chen had casually given away the supreme treasure left by the Sword Immortal—the Sword Manual! Everyone knew that the most valuable item left by the Sword Immortal was indeed this manual.
"Mr. Jiang, this Sword Manual is something you obtained with great difficulty; how can you give it to someone else?" Li Fushi exclaimed, nearly in tears. He had hoped to see the Sword Manual himself but never expected Jiang Chen to give it away so easily. This left him feeling somewhat unbalanced.
If someone were to receive it as a gift, it should have been him!
"It's just a Sword Manual," Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly.
"Could it be that the Sword Immortal left behind many Sword Manuals?" Li Fushi asked.
"With just the Zong Yun Sword and the Sword Manual, I've kept the sword and looked through the manual. I might as well give it to Ye Jian Sheng. Elder Li, if you want it, feel free to take a copy," Jiang Chen said casually. To outsiders, the Sword Immortal Sword Manual was a treasured item, but to Jiang Chen, it was merely an ordinary trinket that he could share at will.
