Zhou Fan turned around, looking at a young man who thought he was 28 years old.
"Qing Manlu..," muttered everyone almost simultaneously.
"Are you ready, brother..." Qing Manlu hung up her remark for not knowing the name of the young man before her.
Everyone was aware that they did not know the name of the young man who had made a scene in the Qing Clan hall.
"Zhou Fan! My name is Zhou Fan!"
"Alright brother Zhou, are you willing?" Qing Manlu asked calmly.
Like his father, Qing Manlu had a calm and courteous nature.
A lion does not give birth to a dog, Zhou Fan thought.
Zhou Fan's initial view of the young master of the Qing Clan was good. To be polite in front of people he just knew was very difficult, especially people who knew did not have a background.
"Sure, young master Qing. It's an honor for me." Zhou Fan replied politely.
Although Qing Manlu was calm and dignified, he was also not a weak young man, reaching the level of a 6-star master fighter with his 28th exam was a living proof of his abilities.
"There is no need to bother Zhou's brother. It should be me who feels lucky to be able to practice a match with brother Zhou." Qing Manlu flattered Zhou Fan.
"We are the same cultivators, there are no results without effort. Don't you think?" Zhou Fan said humbly.
The two of them finally headed towards the field that was next to the hall building.
Everyone present inside also came out, they wanted to see firsthand the fight between Zhou Fan and their young master.
Both of them seemed to be aligned with the sword in their hands. From what the sword looks both also have equal quality. It's an epic rank weapon.
They dueled without deep strength, because Qing Manlu realized that he would not be able to defeat Zhou Fan if with additional inner strength.
Although he did not win in a sword technique duel, he was still confident that he could last longer than by fighting with deep strength.
"Ready?" Ask Qing Manlu.
"Hmmm..." Zhou Fan muttered while nodding.
Shutt...
Both of them darted, trying to take a profitable position.
Traangs...
The two swords clashed against each other.
Zhou Fan pulled back his sword and pointed it to Qing Manlu's left side.
Thing....
But Qing Manlu was no less quick either, he repelled Zhou Fan's attack by tilting his sword.
Qing Manlu threw Zhou's sword
Fan, make Zhou Fan retreat.
Seeing that Zhou Fan's movements were slightly split, Qing Manlu did not spare him.
Hyatt...
Qing Manlu floated a straight sword thrust forward.
But Zhou Fan quickly stabilized his position. And immediately dodged Qing Manlu's prick by jumping to the side.
Seeing his puncture miss, Qing Manlu slashed back vertically, eyeing Zhou Fan's body.
Seett...
Tranks...
Zhou Fan repelled the vertical slash by thrusting his sword to the side. And made Qing Manlu's sword bounce away.
Qing Manlu's hands felt the flow of electricity.His physique was too weak compared to Zhou Fan, therefore every time it clashed, he felt as if he was stung.
Zhou Fan took advantage of the opportunity, he quickly lunged forward while swinging his sword.
Sreet...
Lu'er!!
Young master!
Instantly everyone's screams echoed loudly from the side of the field.
Zhou Fan took some distance after landing a scratch.
"You're off guard brother Qing," Zhou Fan said.
While Qing Manlu turned to her father's place, then she put on a satisfied smile.
"I'm fine Dad, this is a valuable lesson for me, so there's no need to worry" he said, calming everyone there.
"That won't repeat brother Zhou." Qing Manlu was again preparing to attack.
Zhou Fan smiled, he was greatly amazed by Qing Manlu's persistence.
"I'll be more detached Qing brother, don't you hold your ability." Zhou Man tried to ignite Qing Manlu's spirit.
Qing Manlu did not reply, but the young man instead darted towards Zhou Fan using the same sword.
Zhou Fan who had initially held on a bit, was now about to come out attacking completely.
While interspersed with a smile, Zhou Fan darted at a moderate speed. Directing his sword downward, it quickly pulled him upwards when Qing Manlu was already within his reach.
Qing Manlu who had been focused with her technique movements, had not expected to get an attack to arrive.
Quickly Qing Manlu held both ends of her sword, holding back Zhou Fan's slash.
Tranggs...
It once again felt a sting on Qing Manlu's two hands, but the young man did not let the feeling swim too deep in his head.
Zhou Fan pressed back his sword, which made Qing Manlu grimace even more.
Bruck...
Qing Manlu fell down with a sitting position on the floor.
"Is that so far our power difference!" Qing Manlu started to think.
Qing Manlu looked at the floor of the field, seeing that the young man was drifting in her mind.
A hand invites him to stand up.
Qing Manlu saw who reached out to her. And he saw the young man who became his opponent.
Qing Manlu grabbed Zhou Fan's helping hand then got up and embraced the young man.
"Thank you brother Zhou, you have opened my eyes. I feel like my sword technique is really great, but after practicing my match with you I realize that my abilities are still very far compared to yours." Qing Manlu expressed it sincerely.
"Brother Qing is overly praised, my abilities are still very far compared to real experts, I am only a lucky young man able to master sword techniques with perseverance.", Zhou Gan said humbly.
"My father once said, 'the results will not betray the effort'. I just hold on to my father's words, I can be like this can not be separated from the role of my parents." he added.
Once again Zhou Fan's remark opened Qing Manlu's eyes.
Qing Manlu let go of her embrace, then walked towards Patriarch Qing, her father.
"What's wrong, you should be more active in practicing, I agree to the expression.... 'The result will not betray the effort'. Practice hard, you will succeed one day." Patriarch Qing encouraged his son.
Qing Manlu smiled and nodded, then walked over to Qing Yuwei who was not far from her father's place.
"Sister Wei, you picked the right man." Qing Manlu gave a thumbs up to Qing Yuwei who made the girl's cheeks meet red.
While everyone laughed at the behavior of the two young generations of the Qing Clan.
While going back to the inn, Patriarch Qing asked Zhou Fan to last longer, as he had prepared dinner for him.
With a hint of coercion, Zhou Fan ended up following the will of Patriarch Qing.
The night came quickly...
At a large dining table, there were already dozens of people sitting around an elliptical-shaped table.
Besides Zhou Fan, Patriarch Qing also invited all of his clan elders consisting of five people along with his family.
There were a total of 14 people including Zhou Fan in the room.
The originally boisterous atmosphere began to quiet down as the food came, they began to eat the food quietly without speaking.
It didn't take long, the food wasn't left.
Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Qing Manlu opened her voice.
"Brother Zhou, are you the one who drew the night heirloom sword?"
Everyone looked in the same direction.
