698 Choose the Sword, Choose the Owner (2)

If news of this spread, Wind Forest Sword Furnace might even close down.

Han Muye reached out to grab another sword. He only held it for a moment before letting go.

“It’s more or less the same. It was created by the same blacksmith, and the flaws are similar.”

After evaluating five swords in a row, he found a mid-grade sword and evaluated it carefully.

He explained everything from refining materials to refining methods to matching swordsmanship.

Shao Tianyi’s eyes lit up as he stared at the sword in Han Muye’s hand.

Based on my shopkeeper’s evaluation method, won’t he be able to help me choose an extremely compatible sword?

Jia Wu and Shen Fugui were both merchants, so they knew what was going on.

If Han Muye’s reputation of evaluating swords spread, the extremely powerful sword cultivators on the Scattered Stars Island would probably come looking for him.

“Shopkeeper Han, this method of evaluating people is indeed profound.” Miss Yu looked at Han Muye and said softly, “I wonder if you can choose a sword?”

Sword selection was the same as Han Muye’s evaluation of the sword just now. Those who felt that they were compatible with this sword would naturally come to buy it.

However, for the Sword Furnace, Han Muye could guide the sword cultivators and let them know what kind of swords they were compatible with, then customized them in the sword furnace. Wouldn’t this business be even better?

As long as it was a business request, they would only talk about friendship and not price.

Hearing Miss Yu’s words, Han Muye sheathed his sword and said calmly, “That depends on who it is.”

His words were very kind!

Miss Yu’s eyes were filled with light.

If it wasn’t a real big deal or a real big shot, they would stop at evaluating swords.

“I’ve learned a lot from what you said today.” Miss Yu cupped her hands at Han Muye.

“These swords are my tuition fees.”

“In the future, I’ll go back and report to my father about the business between our Sword Furnace and Sir before making a decision.”

After that, Miss Yu smiled and said, “May your name spread throughout the Scattered Stars Island at the Sword Evaluation Meeting.”

She cupped her hands at Jia Wu and Shen Fugui and walked out of the sword shop.

At the door of the sword shop, she turned back and took down a calligraphy hanging on the sword shop.

“Here are 300,000 spiritual rocks.” Miss Yu placed a small jade box on the counter and finally left with the scroll in her hand.

Jia Wu and Shen Fugui looked at each other in surprise.

The sword that Miss Yu had left behind today was already worth decades of profit for their shop.

This was a sword worth tens of millions of spiritual rocks. How could she throw it away just like that?

Han Muye shook his head and raised his hand to accept the sword.

The sword wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t for nothing.

Today, he had evaluated the forging technique of the sword and its flaws. In the future, there would no longer be such a sword sold in Wind Forest Sword Furnace.

Although he had taken this sword, he really could not sell it if he did not modify it.

If the flaw of these swords was exploited and the owner was injured, wouldn’t the reputation of Imperial View Sword Shop be ruined?

However, if such a sword master really existed in the world, he wouldn’t have to use these spiritual artifact-level swords, right?

Besides, when real experts fought, even if there were no flaws in the sword, they could still create flaws for them.

Putting away the sword, Han Muye cupped his hands at Jia Wu and Shen Fugui. “Fifth Uncle Jia, Shopkeeper Shen, let’s have a drink at the front street restaurant.”

No matter what, Han Muye owed these two a favor for today’s matter.

“Yes, of course we have to drink.” Jia Wu laughed and said, “This is a windfall that fell from the sky. How can we not get any benefits?”

He was either jealous or he was happy because he had really broadened his horizons.

While Han Muye and the others went to drink, Zeng Daniu went to Shao Tianyi’s side. “Brother Shao, isn’t our shopkeeper very good at evaluating swords?”

Shao Tianyi turned around and looked at him without saying anything.

What is he talking about? Shao Tianyi thought.

How can Zeng Daniu understand the excitement?

Talking about swords will be like playing the lute to a cow.

Shao Tianyi had just turned around when his expression suddenly turned cold.

At the door stood a young man in a green robe with a long sword on his back.

The young man had an indifferent expression. When he saw Shao Tianyi looking at him, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

“Esteemed guest, do you want to buy a sword and have an evaluation of the sword?” Zeng Daniu grinned and wanted to move forward, but he was stopped by Shao Tianyi.

“I’ll receive him.” Shao Tianyi took a step forward and stared at the young man. “What are you doing here?”

The corners of the young man’s mouth twitched as his gaze landed on the swords on the wooden shelves.

“This is a sword shop. If I’m not here to buy a sword, will I be here to—” The young man lowered his voice and said the last two words sinisterly, “Kill someone?”

These two words seemed to be filled with sword qi, causing golden spiritual light to flash on the paintings and calligraphy around the sword shop.

Looking at this scene, a strange expression flashed across the young man’s face.

“Cheng Jinsan, this mission is mine.” Shao Tianyi’s eyes flashed.

Hearing Shao Tianyi’s words, the young man laughed and said indifferently, “Don’t forget who you are. Don’t think of yourself as a worker.

“We only have one ident.i.ty.

“If you want to throw away this ident.i.ty, you have to leave your life behind first.”

With that, the young man turned around and left.

After pondering for a moment, Shao Tianyi said softly, “Daniu, take care of the shop. I’m going out for a while.”

With that, he dashed out of the sword shop.

Shao Tianyi followed Cheng Jinsan all the way out of the city.

Standing on a limestone, Cheng Jinsan turned around and looked at Shao Tianyi.

“I’m curious. What made you want to kill me?”

“As one of the top a.s.sa.s.sins among the younger generation of the Life Stealing Tower, do you really want to hide your name and become a clerk in that sword shop?”
