"Give it to you?" Zhang Yun's eyes gradually darkened. "Qianzhi isn't a commodity; how can you just give it away like that?"
"So you mean you only want to take advantage of my Sword Manor without wanting to pay any price yourself?" Jian Yunfei sneered, with a hint of mockery.
“Apart from Qianzhi, I’m willing to bet with you on anything else,” Zhang Yun said calmly, his expression unchanged.
"You?" Jian Yunfei looked Zhang Yun up and down with a hint of suspicion in his eyes and said, "What do you have that I would like to see?"
"I don't necessarily want to make a bet with you," Zhang Yun said with a smile.
Jian Yunxiao has already made the Jian family's stance clear.
If he can win the battle five days from now, he can take Zhuo Xinyan away.
If that's the case, why did he go to all that trouble and make a bet with Jian Yunfei?
"Hmph, I hope you don't lose too badly then."
Zhang Yun's attitude displeased Jian Yunfei, but Zhang Yun was, after all, a guest of the Sword Mansion. Since he had agreed to fight again in five days, taking action now would damage the reputation of the Sword Mansion.
Five days later on the sword-fighting stage, he will accidentally kill Zhang Yun!
Once Zhang Yun dies, Zhuo Xinyan, who will be homeless and helpless, will naturally stay in the Sword Mansion. At that time, Zhuo Xinyan will be hers for the taking.
"Take care, we won't see you off." Zhang Yun flicked his sleeve and turned to leave with Ye Qianzhi, ignoring Jian Yunfei.
This seemingly arrogant and rude behavior made Jian Yunfei completely determined to kill Zhang Yun!
He sneered inwardly, "Zhang Yun, you're the first among your peers to be so disrespectful to me. Very well, I'll let you live a few more days. Five days from now, I will take your life!"
"You can't kill me."
Zhang Yun, who was particularly sensitive to killing intent, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked directly into Jian Yunfei's eyes, and said coldly.
"Since I, Zhang Yun, debuted, almost everyone who has tried to kill me has died."
Jian Yunfei sneered, "Then we'll wait and see. Don't be afraid to accept the life-or-death battle!"
"Young Master, I've also heard of Jian Yunfei. It's said that his cultivation has reached the late stage of the Heavenly Gang realm. If he were to challenge you to a life-or-death battle, would you truly accept?"
Ye Qianzhi's beautiful eyes held a hint of worry.
Zhang Yun was the only family member she could rely on. She couldn't imagine the heavy blow she would suffer if she lost him.
"Silly girl, don't worry. Since I dared to accept the challenge, it means I have absolute confidence."
A warm, sunny smile appeared on Zhang Yun's lips. He patted Ye Qianzhi's head and said, "Let's go eat."
"Mm." Ye Qianzhi nodded gently: "I believe that you wouldn't lie to me, young master."
After dinner, just as Zhang Yun was about to deal with matters in his inner world, Jian Yunxiao arrived outside his residence.
"Brother Zhang, I've come to bring you some incredibly good news. Would you be interested in hearing it?"
Jian Yunxiao smiled broadly and clasped his hands in greeting to Zhang Yun, causing Zhang Yun to raise an eyebrow.
"Oh? What good news is it that you had to come all this way, Brother Jian?"
"Just now, my grandmaster summoned me. Guess what she said to me?"
Jian Yunxiao had a bright smile on his face, and he looked very happy.
"Brother Jian, just say what you have to say, stop beating around the bush," Zhang Yun replied with a smile.
He was rather curious about what news could make both him and Jian Yunxiao happy.
"Just now, our grandmaster said that she wants to accept you as a disciple."
Jian Yunxiao laughed loudly and said, "Brother Zhang, congratulations! You know, our grandmaster hasn't taken on any disciples for decades, but she has taken a liking to you, Brother Zhang."
"No wonder, no wonder my master insisted on ordering me to invite you to the Sword Mansion. It turns out he had planned this all along."
"So, does that mean I should call you 'Uncle-Master'?"
"A nominal disciple?"
Seeing Jian Yunxiao's seemingly happy appearance, Zhang Yun's eyes revealed a strange light, but his expression did not change much.
The Holy Gate is a dominant force within the Holy Domain, but it is not the absolute ruler.
All of this is because the Sword Immortal's Mansion exists within the Holy Domain.
As the master of the Sword Immortal Mansion and the strongest among them, he naturally possesses the ability to contend with the top experts in the Holy Gate.
For this reason, apart from the direct descendants of the Sword Immortal Mansion and the Holy Gate, most of the outstanding sword geniuses in the Holy Domain gather at the Sword Immortal Mansion.
However, their positions are not entirely the same.
Even among the younger generation, the number one prodigy like Jian Yunxiao is only a disciple of the Sword Immortal's disciple.
The fact that Zhang Yun was able to be directly named by the Sword Immortal and chosen as a disciple already proves Zhang Yun's terrifying talent and potential. It goes without saying that he will become a core disciple of the Sword Immortal's Mansion in the future.
Such temptation is indeed something that very few people can resist.
The same would have happened to Zhang Yun.
Before this, Zhang Yun was just a disciple of the small Yunwu Sect. Even though he was highly regarded and had the title of the number one genius in the Yunwu Sect, he was nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in the eyes of a super power like the Sword Immortal Mansion.
In Jian Yunxiao's view, this was Zhang Yun's chance, a chance to rise rapidly in rank.
