229: Not beautiful enough
When Mu Wuchen turned his head and looked at the woman who was stumbling around behind him, he was momentarily stunned.
From her appearance alone, she was indeed a vibrant young woman, with a cultivation level that was neither high nor low, possessing late-stage Heaven Human cultivation.
Such a cultivation level, if placed in the Ancient Domain or the Heavenly God Domain, could be considered among the top few of the younger generation, but if placed in the Qianyan Immortal Domain, it might not seem as monstrous.
What Mu Wuchen cared about most was her introduction.
Hongyu Sword.
This girl was actually a precious sword capable of transforming into human form!
Moreover, she even had 3000 points of luck on her!
This made Mu Wuchen look at her a few more times.
The woman was slender, with rosy lips and white teeth, her eyes revealing a vibrant heroic spirit. She wore a striking red short skirt, appearing very young and pretty, like a shining red ruby.
As soon as the woman arrived, she saw Mu Wuchen being led inside, so she also wanted to enter, but she was stopped by the people of Profound Weapon Pavilion around her...
"This is the Xuanbing Guard of Profound Weapon Pavilion. If you want to enter the Secret Realm, go to the back and queue up to register!"
A soldier-like man spoke to the red-skirted woman in a deep voice.
Her actions being blocked made the red-skirted woman clearly displeased. Seeing the armored guards restricting her movement beside her, the woman struggled slightly.
Her strength was actually stronger than these guards, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
This was after all the territory of Profound Weapon Pavilion. If she overdid it in a fit of pique, it would probably be difficult to enter the Secret Realm...
She glanced in Mu Wuchen's direction and retorted.
"I saw that person just now didn't queue up. Why can he enter early, but I can't? Is Profound Weapon Pavilion treating people differently?"
Hearing the woman's question, the soldier from Profound Weapon Pavilion was slightly stunned, then spoke in a deep voice.
"That esteemed person is acquainted with the high-ranking officials of our Profound Weapon Pavilion and has already registered in advance, so he naturally doesn't need further review and registration. If you have no other business, please queue up at the back like everyone else!"
Saying that, he intended to lead the woman away.
Just then, Mu Wuchen, not far away, suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Isn't this Miss Hongyu?"
Hearing Mu Wuchen's words, the surrounding guards were slightly stunned, and the red-skirted woman not far away was also stunned.
A guard quickly jogged to Mu Wuchen's front and bowed slightly.
"Sir, do you know that woman?"
Mu Wuchen nodded slightly.
The red-skirted woman had 3000 points of luck, so he naturally couldn't let her go. Instead of marking her and then spending time searching later, it was better to directly find a way to keep her by his side.
This was a rare good opportunity.
"That's right, I know her. If it's not too much trouble, brother, please let her in too."
Hearing Mu Wuchen's words, the guard's expression suddenly turned serious.
The token Mu Wuchen took out was an elder's token from Profound Weapon Pavilion. Those who possessed such a token were all powerful and influential figures!
Such important figures, which one of them wasn't arrogant? Yet, the White-Robed Man in front of him actually called him "brother"!
Hearing Mu Wuchen's address, the guard was clearly very pleased. He straightened his back, solemnly saluted Mu Wuchen, and then spoke respectfully.
"Sir, since that woman is your friend, please take her inside..."
Seeing how sensible this guard was, Mu Wuchen nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, the young woman in the red short skirt was brought before Mu Wuchen.
However, at this moment, the red-skirted woman looked at Mu Wuchen with a wary expression!
Her body even unconsciously retreated a bit, as if she wanted to maintain distance from Mu Wuchen.
She had never seen Mu Wuchen before, but the person in front of her could surprisingly reveal her name with a single word, which made Red Jade unable to be careless...
Seeing the red-skirted woman's demeanor, Mu Wuchen subtly transmitted a message into her mind.
"You'd best follow me obediently, otherwise, you absolutely won't be able to enter that Secret Realm."
After dropping that sentence, Mu Wuchen turned and left.
Hearing Mu Wuchen's telepathic message, Red Jade's heart skipped a beat...
The man in front of her could pass the review without being screened, clearly indicating he had connections. If he really made things difficult for her...
She probably really wouldn't be able to go to the Secret Realm!
Absolutely not!
Red Jade looked at Mu Wuchen with uncertain surprise, seemingly pondering something, but then, she gritted her teeth and followed behind Mu Wuchen...
This was Profound Weapon Pavilion's territory. Even if the White-Robed Man opposite her was powerful, he probably couldn't do anything to her...
Moreover, what made her even more curious was that she had only recently awakened...
Yet, the White-Robed Man in front of her actually knew her name...
"Sir, please wait inside for a while. After our Profound Weapon Pavilion has registered and reviewed everyone, we will come and call you..."
After entering, Mu Wuchen was led by two people from Profound Weapon Pavilion to a private room...
The private room had a good environment, was spacious, and its furnishings were beautiful and elegant. It also had several soundproofing and anti-peeping restrictions, clearly meticulously designed.
In the room, there were also more than a dozen weapon samples forged by Profound Weapon Pavilion, for people who came here to admire and play with...
Mu Wuchen casually picked up a silver-white three-foot long sword, idly played with it a couple of times, then glanced at Red Jade, who was still standing at the door with a wary expression, and slowly spoke.
"Miss Hongyu, what do you think of the sword in my hand?"
Hearing Mu Wuchen's question, Red Jade raised an eyebrow.
She hadn't expected Mu Wuchen to ask her such a question as soon as he opened his mouth...
Was it a coincidence...
Or...
Had he discovered her identity?
But in just a moment, she shook her head.
The man in front of her absolutely could not have discovered her identity!
However, after only a moment, she still answered Mu Wuchen's question.
"Judging by its casting details and sharpness, the blacksmith clearly put in painstaking effort. From the forging time to the number of temperings, everything must be meticulously crafted to be completed. It can be said to be a high-grade treasure sword..."
"However..."
Suddenly, Red Jade changed her tone.
"Although this sword has good quality, it lacks distinctiveness. While the blade is sharp, the tempering process was too conventional, making it ordinary!"
"Humans have spirits, and swords also have spirits. Just as a thousand people have a thousand faces, so too do swords. This sword is clearly not good enough!"
"Moreover..."
"This sword..."
"Is not beautiful enough!"
Listening to Red Jade, or rather, Hongyu Sword, speaking eloquently, Mu Wuchen nodded slightly.
Then he gently waved his hand, and with a creak, the door immediately closed tightly, completely isolating the outside!
He smiled, looking at the young woman in the red short skirt opposite him, and slowly spoke.
"Miss Hongyu, then what do you think..."
"What kind of sword is beautiful enough?"
...
