Chapter 1245: Miss of Wanren Villa (5)
The young miss of Wanren Villa?
Yang Ruxin’s eyes flickered for a moment. When they arrived, Dao Xuzi did introduce them to the situation of Wanren Villa. In those years, Dao Xuzi had even saved the life of the old madam of the villa owner, but she has been dead for almost forty years now, so that favor could no longer be mentioned.
Moreover, the old villa owner had also passed away.
The current villa owner, Wan Song, maintained a neutral stance in the Jiangnan martial world, never involving himself in conflicts between good and evil, and was said to be obsessed with collecting weapons.
The name Wanren Villa originally stemmed from the myriad blades it housed. It was rumored that unless a weapon was in someone else’s possession, any armament one had heard of could be found within its walls. Among the collection was a peerless divine weapon known as the Blood-drinking Sword, which was said to be able to slice through iron as if it were mud and would recognize its owner through blood—although many had heard of it, few had actually seen it.
There were many in the martial world who ventured into the villa to steal, but nearly all of them never returned.
However, at that time, the Wan family’s ranks were not very prosperous. Later on, a wise man suggested that the character for "blade" carried too much malevolent energy, which hindered the flourishing of their lineage. Hence, they changed the name to the current Wanren Villa, and the mountain took the name Wanren Mountain too.
As for the original name of the mountain, it had long been forgotten.
Indeed, the Wan family flourished after the renaming; up to three generations before the old villa owner, lineage had been passed on through only one son. No matter how many wives were taken, there were no children—except for the old villa owner, who had one wife and one concubine, each bearing him a son, hence the next generation had a step-brother.
