Chapter 254: Confidence in Joining the Game

"If Mr. Lin still has questions, you can go to the old house in Xiangyang Lane and take out the sword method to ward off evil spirits written on the cassock on the beam of the Buddhist hall. You will know the answer at a glance." Yan Xu's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back, because he described it in such great detail that he had no choice but to believe it, and he had no choice but to go.

Lin Zhennan gritted his teeth, stood up, clasped his fists towards Yan Xu, said "wait a moment", and rode to Xiangyang Lane alone.

When Lin Zhennan brought back the old cassock that recorded the Exorcism Sword Technique in a daze, he was almost in a state of collapse.

It turned out that his ancestors were monks, eunuchs, thieves, villains, and the kind that could not wash away the dirtiness of the world. This made Lin Zhennan, who was proud of his ancestors, hard to accept.

"Although Mr. Lin Yuantu has some personal flaws, he has not done anything evil. Mr. Lin, there is no need to be like this." Yan Xu spoke without any concern, but he knew that what Lin Zhennan needed was not comfort and understanding, but a stepping stone.

Yan Xu never underestimates anyone, even Lin Zhennan, who seems to have lost his mind in the novel.

Lin Zhennan's martial arts skills are not that good, but he is not a fool. Even a fool would not have developed the Fuwei Escort Agency to such a scale.

Do you really think it is easy to open an escort agency, especially with the scale of Fuwei Escort Agency? Not only do you have to deal with various outlaws, you also have to maintain good relations with businessmen, and you have to get through the government. If there is a problem in any link, Lin Zhennan would not be able to get to this point today.

And to say that Lin Zhennan knew nothing about what Yan Xu just said was pure joke. At least he knew about the sword manual in the old house because it was mentioned in the ancestral precepts.

But also due to group training, no matter how curious Lin Zhennan was, he couldn't touch it.

However, Yan Xu's previous words just gave him a perfect excuse to convince himself, and he also planned to use it to confirm some of his previous speculations.

In fact, on the way there, Lin Zhennan had completely calmed down. He found the sword manual in the old house in Xiangyang Lane and saw that extremely classic sentence, which confirmed what the other party said, but he just felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Lin Zhennan is no longer the naive and persistent boy. Compared with the scandal of his ancestors and the future development of the escort agency, he now wants to figure out the other party's purpose, otherwise he will not be able to rest in peace.

Seize the sword manual?

It doesn't seem like it. The other party knows the location of the sword manual. There is only one old servant in the old house on weekdays. It is very easy for him to take the sword manual away. Besides, no normal person can practice this thing.

Planning to seize the Lin family's assets?
Not really. From the way he was dressed to his appearance and his demeanor, he didn’t look like someone who would be interested in the Lin family’s assets.

This is not Lin Zhennan belittling himself, because even if he wanted to buy a set of clothes like Yan Xu's, he couldn't do it. It's not that he couldn't buy the materials, but that the top craftsmen who mastered these skills each had their own company. With his wealth and status, he couldn't even get in the door, let alone ask for help in processing or buying finished products. To put it bluntly, he was not qualified.

It was because of this realization that Lin Zhennan became more and more confused and uneasy.

Therefore, the focus next is no longer about the ancestors, but what purpose the other party wants to achieve and what impact it will have on the Lin family.

"This sword manual has affected the reputation of our ancestors and brought disaster to future generations. Please take the sword manual away to protect the Lin family from harm!" Lin Zhennan stood up and walked in front of Yan Xu. He bowed and presented the cassock with both hands, saying sincerely.

This unique skill that could cause rivers of blood to flow in the martial arts world was used casually by Lin Zhennan to test it, which shows how much he fears Yan Xu.

For Lin Zhennan, it doesn’t really matter whether the other party accepts the sword manual or not. What’s important is that he wants to see the other party’s reaction, otherwise he will feel uneasy.

It didn't matter if the other party accepted the sword manual. He had already copied down the part that his ancestors didn't pass down in the old house, and then he would quietly spread the matter, and those who were interested in the Exorcism Sword Technique would naturally focus on the other party. No matter what, Lin Zhennan would not lose.

Yan Xu took the cassock, shook it open, read ten lines at a glance, and then handed it back to Lin Zhennan. Without waiting for him to speak, he spoke.

“I did not come here for the sword manual this time. Although this item is the root cause of the extermination of Mr. Lin’s family, if no one knows about this, the disaster will still be difficult to avoid.”

Lin Zhennan was dumbfounded when he heard this, because he vaguely guessed what the other party meant, but why? What was the relationship between the other party and the Lin family?
The massacre of the Fuwei Escort Agency marked the beginning of the drama of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and triggered a series of subsequent major events. It can be said to be the biggest vortex in the early stages.

The huge Fuwei Escort Agency can be wiped out at will, and to say that only the Qingcheng Sect was involved is to treat others as fools.

Even the Gentleman Sword Master Yue Buqun has sent his disciple and daughter to get involved, not to mention other forces, so the water here is very deep.

This time, he took the initiative to join the game, which was completely different from Yan Xu's previous low-key behavior. There was naturally a reason for it.

Yan Xu has been very low-key since entering the new world, especially during the first month when he couldn't quit. In order to avoid danger, he wanted to live in seclusion directly.

Therefore, the reason why he chose to intervene in the affairs of the Fuwei Escort Agency this time was not simply because he was displeased and wanted to stand up for justice.

Just like Lin Zhennan didn't believe that he would help the Lin family for no reason, Yan Xu didn't believe that he would do so.

We are all adults and have long stopped believing that there are so many selfless good people in the world. And they just happen to meet one of them, so Yan Xu can naturally benefit from it, and the benefit is enough to tempt him.

However, the biggest reason supporting Yan Xu to step into the vortex is that he has sufficient confidence.

After confirming through the Fuwei Escort Agency that this was the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Yan Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

The martial arts value of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is actually not low, but it is not enough to threaten him, especially after obtaining enough luck points on the main island. He not only upgraded the two temples to a high level, but also added new incense and magical instruments. He was so confident.

Secondly, he found that the Fuwei Escort Agency was a good insertion point and that he could easily acquire a unique skill.

Although the Exorcism Sword Technique is strange, it cannot be denied that it is a rare and unique skill, and Yan Xu needs it.

The martial arts system is upgraded by collecting secret books. As the number of collected secret books increases, the martial arts system will be upgraded after reaching a limit, from an ordinary martial arts system to a medium and high martial arts system.

However, there are only a few unique skills that can leave a name in "Swordsman", so Yan Xu was unwilling to miss this unique skill which is the easiest to acquire in the early stage.

Of course, if Yan Xu simply wanted this unique skill, he would not need to come to the house, nor would he need to let Lin Zhennan publicize it, because this involves the interests of another party, that is, luck points.

In other worlds, Yan Xu gained luck points through war and killing, but the Ming world had not yet entered its final days, and it would be difficult to rebel, especially since he had to consider the next strategy of the Japanese world and could not afford to fight on two fronts.

Then Yan Xu discovered that war was not necessary to gain luck points.
