  Everyone was chatting happily, and the tea had been changed twice. Xiaobai had been silent all along, but after a few people chatted for nearly half an hour, Xiaobai became dissatisfied, but still quietly didn't move.

  "Well, it's almost noon, why don't you have lunch here? Come on, prepare a sumptuous feast." Yuheng Mountain ordered, with an attitude as warm as if Yang Tianwen was his own son.

  Yang Tianwen also saw the intention of the Jade family's master, but he was not interested, so he pretended to be unaware.

  Xiaobai heard that there was food to eat and immediately came to life. It had been almost a month since Yang Tian asked him to go into seclusion, during which time he hadn't eaten anything delicious. Although eating or not eating made no difference to him, delicious food was still his greatest love. He jumped down from the floor, wagging his tail as he ran around everywhere.

  "Hehe ~~ Your pet is very cute." The two elders smiled and didn't mind Xiaobai's cute behavior.

  However, because Xiao Bai jumped down, the Longsheng Sword on the table was exposed in its entirety. Yuheng Mountain didn't notice anything, as he had never seen the Longsheng Sword before. But Yulin Shu was different; his gaze, which had initially glanced over, turned back instantly and stared fixedly at the sword, his eyes unblinking, flashing with a hint of incredulity.

  Yang Tianwen also noticed Yulin Shu's gaze and knew that this old guy must have recognized the Longevity Sword, but Yang Tianwen didn't mind.

  "This, Tianwen, would you mind letting me take a look at that sword of yours?" Yulin Shu said, unable to suppress his emotions. The temptation of immortality, which mortal could resist?

  Yang Tian drew out his sword and threw it over, without any hesitation.

  Yu Hengshan was a bit bewildered, but Yu Qinghong's face turned slightly red, seemingly somewhat embarrassed.

  Yu Lin Shu slowly stroked the sword body, carefully and meticulously examining it. The more he looked at it, the more his body trembled involuntarily, even his hands began to shake. His eyes contained complex emotions such as shock, disbelief, greed, and rationality. He raised his head and looked at Yang Tian, opening his mouth to say: "This... this... is this really..."

  "Not bad, this should be the Longevity Sword." Yang Tianwen replied very calmly.

  Yu Hengshan was shocked and almost jumped up. Yu Qinghong lowered his head in silence, with an unknown thought in his mind. Because he didn't know that Yang Tianwen would do things so effortlessly, effortlessly to the point where people couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Xiao Bai yawned, looking uninterested.

  "But your surname is Yang." Yu Hengshan asked calmly after a moment of silence.

  "Right, so this sword isn't mine." Yang Tian asked, nodding.

  "Isn't it yours? What do you mean, it's clearly in your hand." Yulin Shu asked tensely.

  "The Long Life Sword belongs to the Li family, and I'm a Yang. It's not mine, so I'll return it to the Li family. Before that, no one should touch it. Whoever dares to move it, I will kill them!" Yang Tianwen replied calmly, his tone also very calm, without any fluctuations. On the surface, Yang Tianwen didn't change, but the transformation in his heart was like a complete reversal of heaven and earth. Suddenly, he had a sense of superiority, looking down on everyone, and the wall that had been suppressed in his heart for over 20 years seemed to have shattered, releasing his true nature from deep within.

  The 21st century is a highly developed world, with material civilization reaching new heights. People living in this world seem to have their true nature suppressed, and the masks on their faces and in their hearts are layered one upon another.

  Yang Tianwen's transformation can be said to have broken through the worldly shackles, in short, it is to enlighten one's mind and see one's nature, return to the origin, and directly point to the original heart. As an orphan, growing up under the gaze of discrimination and ridicule from others, even Yang Tianwen with an IQ of over 240 was not immune to some resentment and disdain for the world, while also yearning for the freedom to fly high in the sky and swim freely in the sea. However, worldly emotions and rationality suppressed these two emotions, which is why Yang Tianwen would rather accompany various ancient books and antiques than interact with the many hypocritical and vulgar people in the world. In nature, Yang Tianwen still has a bit of pride and aloofness.

  Yu Linshu's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and he was able to control his own desires, which was also a rare temperament. He glanced at Yuheng Mountain, handed the sword back to Yang Tian, and asked: "Since that's the case, my Yu family will no longer interfere with the Long Life Sword."

  Yu Hengshan's eyes still couldn't bear to part with the tempting sword, but he finally managed to control himself. He looked at his clear-eyed third uncle and his own son, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Of course, there was no expression on his face. His son could be so calm, why couldn't he? After coming to this realization, Yu Hengshan's face broke out into a bright smile as he invited Yang Tian to the dining hall for a meal.

  Now that everything has been said, everyone's relationship is getting better and better. The father of a tiger does not have a dog son. On the other hand, looking at Yu Qinghong can reveal what kind of people his parents are, which is a matter of genetics and education.

  "The Changsheng Sword is in your hands, so you must be extremely careful. This is not just a struggle among the Wulin people, it's possible that even the imperial families of the three kingdoms will intervene!" Yulin Shu reminded.

  "What? How strong is the imperial family?" Yang Tian asked, anyway they can't send out hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Wan City.

  "Don't underestimate the imperial family, the three families of Southern Shu, Liu, Yu, and Qin. The one ranked first is the Liu family of the Southern Shu imperial family, the imperial family's strength is absolutely not comparable to that of ordinary martial arts schools." Yuheng Mountain said solemnly. "You should know that among the royal families of various countries, there are secretly hidden top masters, with strengths that are evenly matched, and the secret of the Longevity Sword has been passed down for thousands of years, driving countless people crazy."

  Yang Tianwen is not a big shot, and at the same time, he also asks indirectly if there are any cultivators. However, he can't get the result he wants. In fact, pure martial arts schools are still no match for aristocratic families with close ties to the imperial court. Even an aristocratic family that appears to have nothing to do with the martial world on the surface may actually control one or several major martial arts factions behind the scenes. This is because they have money and power, and their family's inherited skills are also top-notch.

  Yang Tian asked to face is naturally the nine major families standing at the top of the mainland. The Jade family does not intervene, but there are still eight families existing, and also the top three ranking imperial families of the three countries.
