“A direct visit? So direct?”

“Otherwise, I’m afraid the Lin family will soon cease to exist. These people are really something, they don’t even forget the well-digger when they drink the water. Oh well, they’ve all castrated themselves, they’re probably already mentally abnormal.” Thinking of the legendary Four Sisters of Mount Hua, Zhang Weihao naturally wouldn’t use normal thinking to judge these oddballs who castrated themselves to practice swordsmanship.

Although he was the mastermind behind it all, I never expected the underworld to become so lively.

When watching movies and reading novels before, Zhang Weihao didn’t realize that there were many masters, but now… even in the world of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, he has found that it is actually very difficult to encounter masters.

Experts all have their own circles. Unless you reach that level or have a special status that makes you important to them, you’ll be like those older single women in later years who go on blind dates. Finding a decent blind date who meets your requirements is extremely difficult.

Under 35 years old, annual income of one million, at least a bachelor’s degree from a 985 university, height of 180cm or above, appearance of 6 or above, unmarried and childless, parents with basic pension, no history of serious illness or infectious diseases, morally upright, no bad or malicious behavior, and here’s the key point: owns an independent marital home within the inner ring of Shanghai, and owns a car worth more than 500,000 yuan.

Each condition may seem ordinary on its own, but if you want to meet all the conditions, statistically speaking, there are probably only two or three hundred eligible young people in the entire metropolis of Shanghai. Even Wang Sicong might not meet the average standard for one reason or another.

The same applies to masters in the martial arts world. There are only one or two thousand truly super masters in the entire martial arts world. In the vast Ming Dynasty, it is very difficult to encounter one.

In the ordinary world of martial arts, most of the masters are ordinary experts like the Thirteen Protectors. Among the young heroes, those who can reach the level of Linghu Chong are considered to be the rising stars of the righteous path.

Therefore, the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, which allows one to reach the sixth or seventh rank upon entry and easily advance to the fifth rank with a little practice, is truly terrifying. It directly disrupted the original order of the martial arts world in the Ming Dynasty.

This is only half a year. If it were ten years later, I’m afraid most of the heroes in the martial arts world would be self-castrated. Self-castration by heroes would become a fashion, and in the future, all the female heroes in the martial arts world would probably have to engage in lesbian relationships.

Because there are almost no men left in the martial arts world.

However, precisely because of this, the Lin family is now in danger, being targeted by everyone in the martial arts world. Some people who are unwilling to castrate themselves but covet the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual have naturally set their sights on the perfect sword manual, and Yue Buqun is one such example.

Some people who were forced into this situation and had no choice but to castrate themselves naturally harbored resentment towards the Lin family and wanted to settle scores with them, so the Lin family is really in a terrible state now.

Upon hearing that the two distinguished guests were disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect, visiting on the orders of their sect leader, the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun, Lin Zhennan, who was in a state of utter distress, immediately agreed and instructed the bodyguards outside to invite them in.

Since it was the new Swordsman, Zhang Weihao wasn’t surprised to see that Lin Pingzhi looked similar to Chen Xiao.

He’s really good-looking, very handsome, and has a youthful vibe; he’s almost a third as good-looking as me.

Lin Pingzhi had been angry about his androgynous good looks since childhood, so he was very surprised when he saw Zhang Weihao, who was even more handsome than himself. He even thought of a man who only existed in legends.

Jiang Feng, the sworn brother of Yan Nantian, the greatest hero in the world, and once the most handsome man in the martial arts world.

In the world, no one can withstand Yan Nantian’s sword, and no woman can withstand Jiang Feng’s smile!

Lin Pingzhi and many others have always been curious about how handsome the former number one handsome man in the martial arts world could be, but after seeing Zhang Weihao, they couldn’t help but think, “He can probably only be this handsome at most.”

Madam Lin couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Zhang Weihai. This young hero from the Huashan Sect was actually much more handsome than her Pingzhidu, and he was quite young, looking only seventeen or eighteen years old (because of martial arts, he looked older than his actual age). What a handsome young man!

“I wonder what brings you here this time, my dear nephew?” Although Yue Lingshan is the only daughter of the sect leader, Lin Zhennan clearly regarded Zhang Weihao, who had a stronger aura and higher status, as the person in charge.

“Regarding the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, I mainly want to ask whether this sword manual was distributed by the Lin family. If not, my personal suggestion is that Uncle’s family should return to Mount Hua with us to avoid disaster, otherwise the Lin family may face annihilation.”

Lin Zhennan had already foreseen the calamity that would wipe out his entire family; he was smart enough. He might be a novice, but he was actually quite intelligent, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to build such a large business.

However, Lin Zhennan was somewhat distrustful of the man and woman in front of him. They were too young, and the Huashan Sword Sect was not considered a particularly powerful force in the martial arts world. Twenty years ago, he might have been able to consider them, but now, the Huashan Sword Sect was better left unmentioned.

Zhang Weihao has some understanding of Lin Zhennan; he’s a typical example of someone who’s incompetent but unaware of it.

Although it was played by Kou Zhenhai, who looked quite impressive, he was actually really bad at the game, only at the level of the Four Heroes of Qingcheng, a mere seventh-rank martial artist.

However, this classification is only an objective assessment. Many people don’t know their own limitations. You might say that someone is only a seventh-rank official, just a third-rate nobody in the martial arts world, but they don’t think so themselves.

Arrogance and narrow-mindedness are not uncommon in any era. So, a frog in a well like Lin Zhennan, who is ignorant of his own incompetence, truly believes that he is a renowned figure in the martial arts world of the fourth or fifth rank, with the strength to rival the leaders of the major sects. Even if Yue Buqun is more powerful than him, he is not much more powerful.

This is also why Lin Zhennan initially thought he could reason with Songfeng Temple of the Qingcheng Sect (not the real Qingcheng Sect, but just one of its affiliated Taoist temples).

“I have long heard of the Lin family’s Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. I would be honored if you could enlighten me, Uncle.” Zhang Weihao directly challenged Lin Zhennan.

Lin Zhennan instantly understood and accepted Zhang Weihao’s challenge, intending to guide Zhang Weihao as a senior figure in the martial arts world and let this young talent see the depths of the martial arts world.
