Chapter 1006 - Divine Sword Platform
They finally resolved the mysteries. The story had begun the previous night when Liu Wuxie had passed by and seen Miao Feiyu forging a sword.
The two had exchanged ideas, and Liu Wuxie had quickly identified the flaw in Miao Feiyu's technique.
Miao Feiyu had researched through the night and finally succeeded at dawn.
But for the Renowned Sword Manor, it meant everything. It gave them hope for a revival. If they won the duel three days from now, and combined it with their swordsmithing breakthrough, they could restore the Renowned Sword Manor to its former glory.
They couldn't afford to lose the duel. Doing so would cost them the Heavenly Xun Sword. While it wouldn't destroy the Renowned Sword Manor, losing the sword would severely damage its reputation. Even if they forged stronger swords later, they might still fail to find buyers.
"Brother Liu—no, Uncle Liu. I apologize for being a little rude earlier," Miao Jianying replied, looking visibly awkward about addressing someone younger than him as 'uncle.'
"Just call me Brother Liu. There's no need to change how you address me. With so much pressure on your shoulders, there's no need for such formalities," Liu Wuxie assured. Being called "uncle" by someone older unsettled him.
Miao Jianying let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. He said, "Since that's the case, allow me to host a welcoming banquet for you tonight."
Miao Feiyu looked displeased, but he said nothing. His son and Liu Wuxie could address each other however they liked.
Right then, an elder stepped forward and whispered, "Manor Lord, now that we've acquired such heaven-defying swordsmithing technique, should we announce it to the public?"
Miao Feiyu had never officially taken the Manor Lord's position, but every one acknowledged him as the rightful heir after the old manor lord's death. However, Miao Jianying handled all affairs and acted as the manor lord.
