Xia Zhu and Ying'er, who were in the shadows, could clearly sense Ye Qiu's emotional changes.
Ying'er looked at the young man in front of her with a pang of heartache, her eyes filled with tears just like Ye Qiu's.
Like Ye Qiu, Ying'er was also abandoned by her parents at birth. If it weren't for the old palace master, she wouldn't be alive today.
Xia Zhu patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said softly, "Child, this sword was left to you by your mother. She said that no one but you could lift it. I tried it myself and had others try it, and indeed no one could lift this sword. You try and see if you can lift it."
"good."
Ye Qiu reached out his hand, trembling slightly, towards the ancient sword at the bottom of the box.
As Ye Qiu bent over, tears fell from the corners of her eyes and dripped onto the ancient sword.
The next second, the ancient sword suddenly moved, and a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from it.
But Ye Qiu didn't stop; he grabbed the hilt of the sword.
As Ye Qiu grasped the hilt, the ancient sword suddenly shone brightly, and a chaotic aura emanated from it, instantly merging into Ye Qiu's body.
boom.
A powerful surge of blood energy erupted from Ye Qiu's body, its overwhelming aura instantly forcing Xia Zhu and Ying'er to retreat.
"Lord Xia, what has happened?"
Ning Zhen, who was standing at the door, rushed in hurriedly, looking very nervous.
Xia Zhu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, don't get excited. It's Ye Qiu who's taking the Immortal-Slaying Sword."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhen looked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu slowly raised his hand and picked up the sword that had been sitting at the bottom of the box for more than twenty years and no one had been able to pick it up.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword is extremely heavy, weighing over 100,000 jin, and also possesses powerful divine strength, making it a mysterious weapon.
It's hard to pick it up unless you've earned its approval.
Ye Qiu carefully stroked the sword, a surge of affection washing over him.
This is the sword my mother used to use.
This is the sword her mother left for her.
Ye Qiu cherished it, gently stroking the sword blade again and again.
Strangely enough, when Ye Qiu's fingers brushed across the sword's edge, the blade automatically softened, as if afraid of hurting Ye Qiu.
This caused Ye Qiu to burst into tears instantly, unable to control himself.
Ye Qiu didn't want Xia Zhu and the others to see his vulnerable side, so he gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, suppressed his aura, and tried to put away the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, the Immortal-Slaying Sword suddenly transformed into a beam of light and landed on Ye Qiu's arm.
Ye Qiu was astonished to be able to clearly sense the presence of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
This sword is extremely extraordinary, as if it possesses its own sentience.
"As expected, only her own son can wield this sword."
Xia Zhu looked very happy, smiling constantly.
"Thank you, Lord Xia, for telling me all this and for giving me the sword my mother left me. Thank you."
Ye Qiu cupped his hands in a salute, his goodwill towards Xia Zhu soaring.
Xia Zhu waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for your mother, I wouldn't be in this position. What is rightfully yours must be given to you. I, Xia Shanhe, have never coveted it."
"Lord Xia, as long as I am here, the Great Xia will be safe and sound."
Ye Qiu said seriously.
Upon hearing this, the Xia ruler was startled.
He sensed the same powerful aura and confidence emanating from this young man as Luo Qingxue.
This is the continuation of Luo Qingxue's bloodline, which makes Xia Zhu, who once deeply loved Luo Qingxue, feel extremely close to her.
At the same time, Xia Zhu unconditionally trusted Ye Qiu's ability.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Xia Zhu took Ye Qiu's hand and said gently, "Ye Qiu, I trust your strength, but sooner or later you will definitely leave to find your mother. So, I have an idea."
Ye Qiu did not refute.
After finishing everything, if he is capable enough, Ye Qiu will definitely go to find his mother, Luo Qingxue.
Therefore, Ye Qiu did not refute, and said, "Please speak, Lord Xia."
The Xia ruler laughed and said, "I have a daughter who is twenty years old this year. Her name is Yan Qingwu. You will marry her and have a son or daughter to inherit your bloodline. If you pass away in the future, your son will take your place and protect the land of Great Xia. What do you say?"
"this..."
Ye Qiu gave a dry laugh.
"Can't."
Ying'er suddenly ran out and refused on Ye Qiu's behalf.
Ye Qiu glanced at Ying'er in surprise, but did not blame her for her sudden appearance.
Xia Zhu and Ning Zhen were not at all surprised by Ying'er's appearance.
Because they already knew that Ye Qiu had someone hiding around him, but they just didn't say it out loud.
Both Ning Zhen and Xia Zhu possess extremely high cultivation levels, far exceeding those of ordinary people.
"Why can't you, little girl, do it?"
Xia Zhu looked at Ying'er.
Ying'er gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, it's no way. I'm already his wife."
"You dare to go against the Xia Lord?"
Xia Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ying'er immediately became nervous and dared not meet Xia Zhu's eyes, but still said seriously, "No means no, Xia Zhu, you can't force people to marry each other."
"Haha, you're quite an interesting girl. Don't worry, I won't do such a thing. But if Ye Qiu marries my daughter and has children, it won't affect your relationship. I promise you, Ye Qiu will receive special treatment. He can legally marry five wives without breaking the law."
"Huh?" Ying'er was stunned: "This...this actually works?"
“It’s certainly feasible, and no one dares to object,” Xia Zhu said with a smile.
"Lord Xia, cough, how about we change it to ten?"
Ye Qiu asked tentatively.
"Ye Qiu..."
Ying'er gritted her teeth, itching to make a move.
If Xia Zhu hadn't been there, Ying'er would have already been tempted to take action.
"Go play somewhere else and keep quiet."
