Wen Caishang thought: "Although I don’t take these five people seriously, resolving it in this manner does not harm . Moreover, the treasure swords of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance are indeed remarkable and worth collecting. Later when Li Xian likes them, I could gift them to him for his enjoynt, which would be quite good." She smiled harmoniously and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let’s put the matter behind us. As the saying goes, ’no fight, no acquaintance,’ Cai Shang and everyone here have now t each other. In a few days, I will host a banquet to invite the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Everything will be fully explained and cleared up at this banquet, and a drink will settle all grievances, how about that?"
Hu Yueyue said, "Madam Wen’s thoughts are comprehensive; doing so is good, very good." Xiao Wanjian said, "We of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance shall follow the Madam’s wishes, attend the banquet, and settle all grievances over drinks!"
Wang Zongzheng sighed, "Hereafter, the matters of the tomb cannot be easily ntioned. The loss of our Five Mountains Sword Alliance disciples is unrelated to the Madam. There were many disturbances in the tomb, once we return to the sect, we will send out a treasure sword as an apology!"
Wen Caishang gradually said, "Cai Shang is truly not a person who covets treasure; there were many misunderstandings in the tomb, and as a re woman, I inevitably couldn’t handle things perfectly. Speaking of this matter, I also have faults, so let bygones be bygones. The matter of the treasure sword need not be ntioned."
Xiao Wanjian said, "Madam Wen, our Five Sects have decided to present the sword. I hope the Madam will kindly accept it." Several elders urged in agreent, Wen Caishang sighed, "Very well, since things have co to this, if I don’t accept it, it will seem colder-hearted. Cai Shang will follow the words of the elders."
Li Xian suddenly said, "Madam, I think there is one matter that is inappropriate." Wen Caishang furrowed her brow; Li Xian was usually very obedient and never defied her words publicly. She was slightly annoyed but softly asked, "What is inappropriate? Mr. Li La, tell ."
Li Xian said, "In my view, there’s no need to hold this banquet of grievances. The journey of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance has been full of hardships; the elders and disciples must be tired. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, it would be better to return to the sect early, to avoid further unexpected issues."
The five people exchanged looks. Wen Caishang softly asked, "The Five Mountains Sword Alliance is renowned; people like He Wentian, who are audacious, deceitful villains, are indeed rare. Mr. Li La, do you not like them, or do you find the banquet noisy?"
Li Xian said, "I think it’s better not to hold the banquet. By doing so, the Madam can also save so money. I am considering the Madam’s situation."
Wen Caishang watched and noticed Li Xian’s usual deanor, sensing sothing unusual. She laughed, "Then, Mr. Li La, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Li Xian said, "I just ntioned, please let the Five Mountains Sword Alliance return to the sect promptly. It’s as if they never encountered us in Flying Dragon City." Wen Caishang gazed at Li Xian for a few monts, and smiled at the five elders, "Very well, since Mr. Li La has spoken, the matter of the banquet must follow his intention. Please return, elders."
Hu Yueyue, Duan Yixin, Wang Zongzheng, Hou Yuande, and Xiao Wanjian all sensed a subtle atmosphere. But knowing well Wen Madam Caishang’s peculiar nature, her gentle manners and soft words hide hidden threats. Staying away from this woman is always the right choice. They all cupped their hands and said, "In this case, farewell. Since matters are settled, our Five Mountains Sword Alliance shall withdraw by tomorrow."
Once the five people left, Wen Caishang appeared tranquil, her beautiful eyes looked at Li Xian with deep affinity, saying, "Mr. Li La, I wasn’t fond of the way you acted just now."
Li Xian said, "Madam, I was considering you." Wen Caishang softly said, "Stop saying nonsense, you can’t fool . You hurried them away for what reason?"
Li Xian said in a deep voice, "Of course, it was to ensure there would be no interruptions, Madam, I have sothing to tell you." Wen Caishang frowned and asked, "What are you planning?"
Li Xian said, "Madam, you have taken care of , guided in the Martial Arts, taught the Martial Arts, and imparted Jianghu experience. I have always been sincere to you."
Wen Caishang was usually delighted to hear sweet talk, but in this setting, she knew Li Xian had more to say. Her eyes narrowed slightly, the wind and snow roared around, holding hidden formidable pressure. She asked, "And then?"
Li Xian couldn’t help feeling uneasy; he never truly faced the Madam, nor stood in real opposition to her. The mont was intensely oppressive, like a thorn in his back, like a choke in his throat, but he managed to steady himself and said, "But Madam... I still want to go out exploring."
Wen Caishang suddenly understood: "So this is it. He just stopped from storing away the Sword Montum, intending to use the Setting Sun Bloodsword’s mastery one step ahead of , to gain an advantage. Now with no one else around, he believes this reliance gives him an edge, and he shows his fangs. A little ingrate wolf, with quite deep calculations! You keep pushing it, do you really think I have a good temper?" Her beautiful eyes shone with a strange light, insinuating drawing her sword.
Their swords clashed, her sword pulled back slightly, while Li Xian advanced slightly. The Sword Montum was deployed and maintained, Yin Yang remained balanced. Wen Caishang knew her guess was correct, a chilling feeling arose in her heart, but she maintained a harmonious smile and said, "Mr. Li La, are you planning to leave again?"
Li Xian said, "No." Wen Caishang said, "Oh?" Li Xian said, "My roots will always be here with the Madam, and I will always return. Just going out to explore a bit, not leaving the Madam, I hope the Madam will allow it."
Wen Caishang asked, "How long will you explore? A year? Two years? Three years? Mr. Li La, are you willing to leave to guard the empty estate alone, with no one to accompany ?" Li Xian sincerely said, "I naturally don’t want to, but a man’s aspiration is to travel far away, Madam, if you don’t stop this ti, I will always return."
Wen Caishang’s face turned cold; she always upheld great self-control, even in anger, her expression was as usual, but at this mont she couldn’t maintain her deanor, as anger surged beyond her restraint. She coldly sneered, "Good boy, I see you’re really ignorant, thinking your wings are strong. Talking about a man’s aspiration to roam abroad, asking to wait for you, what do you count for, are you worthy of my waiting? What am I waiting for? You tend to be happy outside, when you need , you’ll co back to find , is that it? Do I seem so foolish, as if only you can have ?"
