Chapter 81

Next, Chen Chang'an went to the palace.

He told Ji Wentian, Ji Xuangu, and Ji Mingyue about his itinerary.

Ji Wentian was very shocked.

However, he also thought that Chen Chang'an's plan to participate in the Sword Bearer Examination was a very good idea.

As long as Chen Chang'an became a Sword Bearer... all the problems of the Great Zhou Kingdom would be solved!

Although Ji Mingyue was reluctant, she also felt that it would be a good thing for Chen Chang'an to become a Sword Bearer.

So, she could only wish him all the best in her heart.

.....

Three days later.

In front of the Chen family's main gate.

Many people had gathered here.

A magnificent flying ship was also parked at the gate.

Today was the day Chen Chang'an would go to Central State to participate in the Sword Bearer Examination. Ji Wentian, Ji Mingyue, and all the Chen family members were seeing him off.

There were also countless students from the Great Zhou Academy, who looked at the handsome Chen Chang'an with envy.

Chen Chang'an was now a legend in the Great Zhou Kingdom!

A half-Imperial Realm at the age of twenty-one!

If this were to be known, it would shock the world!

But even without revealing it, his achievement of winning the first place in the Four Kingdoms Competition had already made him irreplaceable.

He was also a National Venerable!

And now, he was going to participate in the Sword Bearer Examination!

If Chen Chang'an became a Sword Bearer, not only would he bring glory to the Great Zhou Kingdom, but also to the entire Eastern State!

Because the Eastern State had never had a human Sword Bearer!

At this moment, the Duanmu Manor Lord came out, first respectfully bowing to the Chen family elders.

Then he loudly addressed the students of the Great Zhou Academy: "You must practice diligently. I hope that in the future, you can follow in the footsteps of the National Venerable!"

"I hope that when you go to the Holy Land and the Yanhuang Domain, you can see the back of the National Venerable!"

Below, the students of the Great Zhou Academy were all excited and filled with passion!

Even just seeing the back of the National Venerable would make them feel satisfied.

...

On the other side, Chen Xuantong smiled at Chen Chang'an, "Chang'an, be careful on your journey."

"I understand, Lord of the Family."

Chen Chang'an respectfully bowed.

Then he bowed to the other elders.

"Everyone, I'm leaving!"

Chen Chang'an said with reluctance.

"Go, go."

The nine elders all smiled and nodded.

"Everyone, but... I'm alone, and I feel weak, sigh, my fate is hard."

Chen Chang'an put on a pitiful look.

Chen Jiu, Chen Ba, and others rolled their eyes.

This kid was actually crying poor!

"Everyone!"

Chen Chang'an shouted again, "I'm pitiful, I've never been far from home!"

Seeing no reaction from the nine elders, Chen Chang'an continued, "Everyone, my pockets are empty, I feel insecure!"

"Brother, I still have the spirit stones you gave me." At this moment, Chen Xuan took out a spatial ring and eagerly handed it to Chen Chang'an.

Chen Chang'an glared at him, "Get lost, I don't want your spirit stones."

"Uh..." Chen Xuan was stunned.

"Everyone!"

Chen Chang'an continued to speak with a pitiful look to the nine elders.

"Alright, alright."

Chen Xuantong glared at Chen Chang'an and waved his hand, "They all have something for you."

"Really? Thank you, all nine of you!" Chen Chang'an was overjoyed.

The things left by the nine elders must be treasures!

So he quickly rubbed his hands and walked to the elders, "Hehehe..."

The elders, "......"

.....

Chen Chang'an took the gift from Chen Yi, finding a black bead.

"It will be useful in critical moments," Chen Yi smiled warmly.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Chen Chang'an bowed respectfully and then walked to Chen Er.

Chen Er gave him three scrolls, still saying to open them in critical moments.

Similarly,

Chen San gave him a music score, saying to deliver it to someone who would help Chen Chang'an for a while.

Chen Si gave him a heavy sword.

He instructed Chen Chang'an to replace it when his guardian sword could no longer be used.

Chen Wu gave him a book on alchemy, saying that if there was a connection, he could pass it to his eldest disciple.

Eldest disciple?

Chen Chang'an was interested.

However, he didn't get much information, and Chen Wu only gave him a jade slip, putting what he wanted to say inside.

Chen Liu gave Chen Chang'an a chessboard and a set of Go stones.

Chen Chang'an didn't know what they were for, but since it was from Elder Liu, he could only take them.

Chen Qi was a strong woman. She patted Chen Chang'an's shoulder, making it hurt, and he winced in pain.

"Ha, Chang'an, you're getting stronger!"

"By the way, I have a good friend in the Holy Land. If you need help, they can assist you."

Chen Qi then gave Chen Chang'an a copper hammer, "If you meet my undutiful disciple, give this to him and tell him it's what the master promised him, and I won't go back on my word."

Chen Chang'an was confused. He didn't know who Elder Qi's friend was or anything about her disciple.

When it was Chen Ba's turn, Chen Chang'an said gratefully, "Elder Ba, thank you for the Sixteen Conqueror Swords."

"Use them well."

Chen Ba smiled elegantly, then formed a strand of memory with sword qi and touched Chen Chang'an's forehead, saying,

"Chang'an, this is my past experience with sword practice, all about the Sixteen Conqueror Swords.

I hope you can quickly understand and command all sixteen flying swords at once."

Chen Chang'an was overjoyed, "Thank you, Elder Ba!"

Then Chen Chang'an smiled and went to Elder Jiu, "Elder Jiu!"

"You little rascal."

Chen Jiu smiled and took out a knife wrapped in cloth, "I don't have much to give you, but I found you a good helper."

"In the Holy Land, my little disciple, who is also your little junior, will receive this knife from you."

Hearing this, Chen Chang'an was speechless.

These nine elders, several of them were asking him to find people!

And... why were these elders taking so many disciples outside?

Seeing no more gifts, Chen Chang'an said goodbye to Ji Mingyue.

Then, under her pitiful and reluctant gaze, Chen Chang'an boarded the flying ship.

Besides him, there was one more person.

It was Ji Xuangu!

He was the guide.

After all, Chen Chang'an was not familiar with the way.

Everyone watched as Chen Chang'an's flying ship soared into the clouds, all feeling emotional.

Ji Wentian suddenly said, "This time, I have a feeling that not only will our Great Zhou Kingdom produce a Sword Bearer, but also a figure who will shock the continent!"

"Indeed."

The Duanmu Manor Lord looked at the Chen family elders with a complex expression,

and continued, "The Eastern State hasn't had a genius pass the Sword Bearer Examination in a hundred years.

But this Chen Chang'an... will definitely give us unimaginable surprises."

Ji Wentian was silent, his gaze falling on Ji Mingyue, and he said softly, "Mingyue's character needs to be improved. Otherwise, she won't be able to handle the position of the National Lord in the future."

The Duanmu Manor Lord nodded.

He understood that Ji Wentian wanted to bind Ji Mingyue and Chen Chang'an together, thus binding the entire Chen family.

Even if they didn't become Dao companions, they were already bound by fate.
