C20 The Longevity Sword
"I feel guilty for your father and you. I didn't expect Yang Xiao to hate me so much." Yang Dingshan looked at Yang Xuan's clear eyes and felt even more guilty. He thought for a while and explained, "Yang Xiao is my only son. His mother passed away a long time ago. I am usually not by his side. All these years, only servants and guards accompanied him. That is why he has developed such an arrogant and arrogant personality. I really owe him a lot. The reason I removed his position as the young patriarch was to take advantage of his young age to change his personality. So, Xuan, don't think too much about it."
Yang Xuan could feel the disappointment and guilt in Yang Dingshan's tone. He quickly said," Eldest Uncle, you didn't disappoint my father's request. I can feel your sincerity towards me. I used to think that you did not like me and hated me. I thought that my parents had done something wrong to the family. So you didn't want to talk about them. I didn't think that there would be such a hidden story behind this matter. You thought so much about me and my father. You've put so much effort into us, and you didn't let down my father's request."
Yang Xuan continued," Elder brother has some misunderstandings about me because I don't have much contact with elder brother, and elder brother doesn't understand me. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely explain it to elder brother. "
Speaking up to this point, Yang Xuan was a bit envious of Yang Xiao. No matter how bad the child was, no matter how big of a mistake he committed, the first person his father blamed was himself. His father thought that it was because he had not raised the child well. This matter had nothing to do with the child. This kind of thought was hard to avoid even for the rational and cold Eldest Uncle.
Yang Dingshan nodded and changed the topic. "Xuan, after I told you about your father this morning, I remembered that your father left a sword for you when he gave you to me. Come with me to my room. I will officially hand the sword to you today. "
" The sword left behind by my father? "
Hearing Yang Dingshan's words, Yang Xuan's body trembled. "Father left a sword for me?" Yang Xuan thought.
Yang Dingshan took Yang Xuan to his room and took out a three-foot-long box from under the bed.
Yang Dingshan opened the box and reached out his hand to touch the cold sword. He said to Yang Xuan, "I thought this sword would be hidden in this box until I died. I didn't think that when you were 16 years old, this sword would be taken out again. "
"Your father loved to use swords for his entire life. But when he was 20 years old, he didn't use this sword. I don't know where your father found this sword, but the only thing he left for you when he left was this sword. He must treasure this sword very much. "When Yang Dingshan mentioned Yang Wuqi, he choked silently.
Yang Dingshan paused for a moment. He took the sword from the box and handed it to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan's hands trembled as he took the sword. "Is this the sword my father left for me?" Yang Xuan thought. Yang Xuan carefully touched every part of the sword. This sword used to be by his father's side. Now that the sword was by his side, it was as if his father was by his side.
Yang Xuan drew the sword and observed it carefully.
This sword was about two feet and six inches long, and it was made of black iron. The sword was light and thin, and its surface was covered with dark rhombus-shaped patterns. It looked very mysterious. The blade of the sword was not as straight as the other swords, and the back of the sword was clear as a straight line. The widest part of the sword was about half a foot away from the sword. The sword then drew back in an arc. The blade of the sword protruded again at the tip of the sword. Then, the tip of the sword condensed into a sharp point. The entire sword emitted a green light, and it made people feel that the sword was extremely sharp.
There seemed to be words carved on the hilt of the sword. Yang Xuan immediately took the sword to the place where there was candle light. He only saw two words: Longevity. "Did father or the previous owner of this sword carve this?" Yang Xuan thought.
Yang Xuan did not think too much about it. He did not know what the name of the sword was. Since the word 'long life' was carved on the sword, he would call it Longevity Sword.
"Longevity Sword is Yang Xuan's first weapon. He is just like his father. They both like to use swords. Is this the faint connection between father and son?" Yang Dingshan thought.
Yang Dingshan saw Yang Xuan happily caressing every part of the sword and immediately felt very happy. He thought of something else. "Second Brother, I will give your sword to Yang Xuan today. I hope this sword can protect Yang Xuan, and I hope that Yang Xuan and your sword will have a glorious career in the Great Wei just like you did in the past.
" Yang Xuan, the reason why I didn't allow you to cultivate in the past was because I hope that you can live in peace for the past few decades. Now that you have stepped into the path of cultivation through your hard work, I will tell you in detail. Currently, there were three first-class families in Qingzhou City, namely the Bai family, the Lau family, and the Yang family. The Bai family, Lau family, and Yang family would hold a family competition every December.
"In the Great Wei, the strong are the most respected. The surrounding small families and powers will seek refuge with the strong. Every family would choose the strongest member of the family to participate in the competition. Therefore, the Yang family would let the youths under the age of eighteen compete in the ninth month of each year. He will enter the top five. "
"The top five can enter the forbidden area of the Martial Hall and reward them with profound cultivation techniques left behind by their ancestors. I want you to become the number one expert of the A martial arts contest. If you don't even have the ability to do so... What can you use to take revenge?"
Yang Dingshan said while carefully observing Yang Xuan's expression.
There were two reasons why he wanted Yang Xuan to participate in the competition between the three families.
First, Yang Xuan could stimulate the younger generation's ambition. Currently, the Yang family was in a very critical situation in Qingzhou City. If the Yang family lost this time, the Yang family would decline because of this. This was not the situation that he wanted to see.
The second reason was that Second Brother's enemy was too powerful. The Yang family was not worth mentioning in their eyes. If Yang Xuan couldn't do much in a place like Qingzhou City, he would eliminate his desire for revenge. He couldn't let Yang Xuan die just like that.
"Eldest Uncle, I will definitely take first place." Yang Xuan said while holding his hands tightly.
How could he give up this opportunity? He was not afraid of anything that would happen. Eldest Uncle was the only way for him to know who his enemy was. He knew that if he missed this opportunity given by Eldest Uncle... He would never be able to find out the name of his enemy from Eldest Uncle's mouth ever again.
At that time, he would have no hope of finding his father.
"Today, I have informed everyone in the clan that I will allow you to cultivate immortal spells. Don't rush for quick success. You need to build a good foundation step by step now. Martial Hall is a good place to practice martial arts. You currently lack experience in actual combat. Where do you go to observe and learn? If you have any questions regarding cultivation, you can ask me or your aunt. I didn't tell your aunt about your father for the sake of the safety of my clansmen. Don't tell her either." Yang Dingshan told Yang Xuan.
"Eldest Uncle, I was going to Martial Hall today to learn more about cultivation. But I found out that every martial skill has its power. I lack martial skills and experience now. Don't worry, Eldest Uncle. From today onwards, I will make the best use of my time to train. I will not let Eldest Uncle down." Yang Xuan said firmly. He thought of his aunt, who always cared about him. "Aunt is very good to me. Although I don't want to hide it from her, I don't want her to be in danger. I know what to do. I won't tell anyone about my father. "
Yang Dingshan nodded in relief. He waved his hand and said," Alright, you can go now. "
Yang Xuan nodded. He said goodbye to Yang Dingshan and left.
After coming back from Eldest Uncle's place, Yang Xuan laid on the bed. He was very excited. He felt that his life was full of motivation.
Now he knew the news about his parents. Although it was not comprehensive, as long as he fulfilled Eldest Uncle's request, he could solve the remaining mysteries.
He could still cultivate and learn all kinds of martial skills. This was something he hadn't even dared to think about for sixteen years.
Yang Xuan stroked the Longevity Sword beside him and fell into deep thought.
The Longevity Sword beside him was the only thing left behind by his father. After he held it in his hand, he felt very secure.
Whether it was the family election or the competition between the three families, he had to participate in it all.
