Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Refusal!

Zhong Tao’s face changed completely upon hearing Tang Zhong’s words; he was just an ordinary person and wouldn’t provoke a Martial Artist. The mere fact that the other party could utter such words meant they must be a Martial Artist!

He didn’t understand Martial Arts, but he had always heard his grandfather Zhong Tianyue speak of the might of the Valley of Hidden Swords, particularly the Master there, who was anything but ordinary—a Martial Arts Grandmaster. He also knew that being a Grandmaster meant being extremely powerful.

But now, this person was actually talking about going to the Valley of Hidden Swords to kill someone. Where did such audacity come from?

"Nonsense!" Zhong Tao could no longer communicate with the person in front of him.

He wouldn’t offend any Martial Artist and turned away, heading back to his car.

Seeing Zhong Tao leave, Tang Zhong continued to shut his eyes and meditate; he currently had no interest in ordinary people.

Hu Shan didn’t speak either. As the cars in front started to fuel up and prepare to leave, he quickly started the car and followed them.

Meanwhile, Zhong Tao returned to his car.

Looking forward, Zhong Tianyue asked, "How did it go, did they agree to switch?"

"That guy is a lunatic!" Zhong Tao said.

"What happened?" Zhong Tianyue was stunned.

"Grandpa, didn’t you just tell me not to speak ill of the Valley of Hidden Swords? Who knew that guy would start talking about killing people and said if we intended to seek apprenticeship, we should turn around now! Didn’t you say that the Valley of Hidden Swords was formidable? How could such a young man talk immediately about killing people there?" Zhong Tao said.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Tianyue laughed upon hearing this, "That person must be a Martial Artist, right? Young people have their fiery tempers and might not yet understand that trouble can arise from careless talk. I believe very soon, that young man will understand. Since he is a Martial Artist, let’s not fight with him, just wait!"

"Yes, Grandfather!" Zhong Tao nodded, but at this moment, recalling what Tang Zhong had said earlier, he couldn’t help but tremble, feeling as if he had been targeted by a wild beast.

Soon, Tang Zhong’s group finished refueling and immediately headed towards Hidden Sword Mountain.

Half a day later, they arrived within the territory of Hidden Sword Mountain.

From a great distance, one could see Hidden Sword Mountain, which reached straight up into the clouds and resembled a sword, particularly because the Valley of Hidden Swords was situated there, hence the name - Hidden Sword Mountain.

At the foot of Hidden Sword Mountain, there were many inns.

The inns were mostly built by villagers, living off the mountain and water.

There was a village at the foot of Hidden Sword Mountain. Later on, knowing about the nearby Valley of Hidden Swords, they simply renamed the whole village; after all, Hidden Sword Mountain was a very famous place in Martial Arts, so the village transformed all travel lodges into inns, just like in martial arts films, also to attract more visitors.

Moreover, Hidden Sword Mountain had gradually become a tourist spot in Yang City.

One could see many people bringing their children here for a visit.

Far off at the foothill, there was a white stone Giant Sword, around which many people were gathering, waiting to take photos.

Tang Zhong and Hu Shan parked their car.

"Mr. Tang, this should be the Valley of Hidden Swords!" Hu Shan said.

"It should be correct!" Tang Zhong said.

"Mr. Tang, are you hungry? There’s an inn over there; let’s go have a meal!" Hu Shan said.

"Alright!"

Although eating was not very important to the current Tang Zhong, Hu Shan definitely couldn’t hold out.

The two found an inn.

The innkeeper was a villager, extremely simple and honest.

One bowl of noodles per person.

At this moment, Zhong Tao and Zhong Tianyue also got off their car and came to the same inn.

The three of them took their seats.

"Boss, what’s there to eat?" Zhong Tao called out to the owner.

"Only noodles!" the owner responded as he came out.

"Then give us three bowls!" Zhong Tao said, seeing there were no other options.

But as he turned his head slightly, he saw Tang Zhong, and immediately frowned, whispering to his grandfather Zhong Tianyue beside him, "Grandfather, that’s the man who said he wanted to kill someone!"

When Zhong Tianyue heard this, he turned to look at Tang Zhong, and a smile soon appeared on his face, "Some are foolish and ignorant, but he looks quite young. Perhaps there’s some backing behind him that prompted him to speak such words. Let’s go over and make his acquaintance; we need to meet more martial artists!"

"Yes, Grandfather!" Zhong Tao nodded.

Zhong Tianyue stood up and walked over to Tang Zhong, smiling, "My name is Zhong Tianyue from the Zhong family, sir. Seeing your distinguished aura today, I believe you are no ordinary man. May I befriend you?"

Tang Zhong had already started eating when suddenly his gaze fell on Zhong Ya, who was standing behind Zhong Tianyue. He frowned instantly, "Martial artist..."

Seeing that Tang Zhong could tell at a glance that Zhong Ya was a martial artist, Zhong Tianyue felt even more inclined to make his acquaintance. He promptly introduced her, "You do have sharp eyes, sir. This is my granddaughter, Zhong Ya!"

Zhong Ya, a quiet and neat person, smiled slightly at Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong just glanced at her and couldn’t help thinking that this woman was a fine prospect. To become a martial artist, one must awaken their Blood Power, but this girl’s blood was naturally in a state of awakening, meaning she was born to be a martial artist. With the proper training, she could definitely become a female martial arts grandmaster someday.

"Not bad!" Tang Zhong grinned.

"Of course, my sister is indeed a unique talent!" Zhong Tao boasted proudly, thumping his chest.

Although he was an ordinary person, he was happy for his younger sister.

Tang Zhong just smiled. This girl could only be considered upper class. To call her unique was quite a stretch.

"Why not entrust this girl to me for personal training?" Tang Zhong offered.

He was indeed taken with the girl’s talent, knowing that bringing her into Long Wu would surely make her a mighty warrior someday.

Zhong Tianyue’s eyes lit up, "Is that true?"

"Of course, it’s true!" Tang Zhong nodded.

"May I ask which sect or master you follow?" Zhong Tianyue inquired.

"I am unaffiliated and nameless. She would be trained personally by me!" Tang Zhong declared.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Tianyue’s expression changed instantly, "Let’s forget about it then. I have already spoken to Master of Hidden Swords to take my granddaughter under his tutelage, so I’m afraid I cannot entrust her to you!"

If the other party was from a renowned martial arts family, Zhong Tianyue might indeed have handed over his granddaughter. But how could an unnamed youth compare to the Master of Hidden Swords?

So, he told a lie—he hadn’t even met the Master of Hidden Swords. Claiming an acquaintance was just a way to refuse Tang Zhong.

Zhong Tao also chuckled. Was a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh? How could his sister be handed over to such a person?

Even Zhong Ya had tensed up, knowing her martial arts talent needed a grandmaster’s guidance. How could she possibly let a young man take over? That would be a waste of her talent. When she heard her grandfather refuse, she finally relaxed, sizing up Tang Zhong. She couldn’t understand where such a young man got the gall to propose teaching a martial arts prodigy like her.

While they felt relieved rejecting the man before them, they had no idea that by doing so, they had turned down a tremendous opportunity, and they would soon find out.

Tang Zhong didn’t say much more; he was merely acting on impulse. Since the other party had refused, he didn’t mind and calmly continued eating noodles. Talented individuals were abundant, and not everyone could receive his guidance.

With the end of that conversation, both parties had nothing more to say, and any further talk would have been awkward.

After finishing their noodles, they began their journey to Hidden Sword Mountain.

To ascend the mountain, one must traverse its paths.

Tang Zhong looked ahead, a slight smile curving his lips, "Valley of Hidden Swords, here I come!"
