A barely audible sound echoed, and the rust on the sword sheath fell off, yet the sword remained completely still!

"Unsheath!" Ye Tianfan sincerely didn't want to lose face in front of a beauty, so he used all the mystical energy within his body! Veins bulged on his arms and forehead.

But to no avail, the sword still wouldn't move an inch!

Damn!

Ye Tianfan cursed inwardly, then with a 'bang', he slapped the Soul Guardian Sword onto the table, turned to glance at Qin Ruomeng, and said, "Can't pull it out! Lucky we didn't buy this sword, otherwise we'd have lost big!"

Making excuses! Plainly making excuses!

Ye Tianfan was covering up his own embarrassment! Meanwhile, he cursed Fang Zaitian a hundred times in his heart; no wonder this guy would throw the Soul Guardian Sword away, dammit, it simply couldn't be drawn! No matter how good the sword, if it can't be unsheathed, it's just a pile of scrap metal! What use is it?

If even Ye Tianfan couldn't draw out the Soul Guardian Sword, then Fang Zaitian certainly couldn't either. Although this Soul Guardian Sword was immensely powerful, in Fang Zaitian's hands, it was merely a heap of scrap metal!

As the ball was nearing its end, Ren Ningyue smiled faintly, wrapped the Soul Guardian Sword again with black cloth, and casually handed it to Qin Hu behind her.

Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown slightly, and said, "Miss Ren, aren't you going to unsheath the sword to check the goods?"

At this moment, Ye Tianfan's attention fell again on Qin Hu behind Ren Ningyue. This guy's demon blade on his back had attracted Ye Tianfan's attention from the start, and from the thick callus at the base of Qin Hu's right thumb, it was evident that he was undoubtedly a master of knife use!

Perhaps Ren Ningyue bought this Soul Guardian Sword for him, after all, he is from the Celestial Punishment Team, and the Soul Guardian Sword had always been their obsession, since the battle to protect the treasure was the Celestial Punishment Team's only defeat!

"Why not let him try? People of the Celestial Punishment Team should be strong, and he's a knife expert, swords and knives have similarities, he should be able to unsheathe it!"

Ren Ningyue shook her head, slightly raised her apricot eyes, looked at Ye Tianfan deeply, and said, "If even you cannot unsheathe it, I really can't think of anyone in Huaxia who could."

Ren Ningyue's words made Ye Tianfan's heart tremble slightly; it seemed this woman had already guessed his identity!

However, unlike other business tycoons, Ren Ningyue's reaction was different; she didn't say much, nor did she show the slightest intention of wanting to pull Ye Tianfan in. Unlike Fang Zaitian and Long Yuqing, Ren Ningyue at this moment, with her beautiful eyes, glanced at Qin Hu, and said, "We should go."

With those words, Ren Ningyue wanted to stand up, and Qin Hu hurriedly stepped forward to help. Seeing Ren Ningyue looking so frail, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown. If Ren Ningyue's people couldn't unsheathe this sword, then it would just be a pile of scrap metal in her hands! But she was already so sick, why bother buying this sword and stepping into this muddy water?

Watching Qin Hu assist Ren Ningyue as they walked out, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but call out, "Carrying this sword would put you in a dangerous situation, I think I don't need to tell you that! You're already so sick, are you sure you want to get involved in this?"

Hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Ren Ningyue turned around, her face breaking into a brilliantly sad smile, her eyes holding three parts sadness, and said, "If I don't take it, someone else must. This sword is an heirloom of our Huaxia ancestors and can absolutely not fall into the hands of those outside Huaxia!"

Ren Ningyue's words undoubtedly referred to the people of the Eight-headed Club! Recalling earlier when Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing were bidding enthusiastically for the Soul Guardian Sword, Ren Ningyue hadn't said a word, but as soon as the Eight-headed Club bid, Ren Ningyue immediately started bidding, decisively winning and giving the Eight-headed Club no chance to bid!

Things from Huaxia shall never flow outside!

This Ren Ningyue seemed to be a frail woman yet possessed a strong patriotic spirit of Huaxia!

This made Ye Tianfan admire her.

"The people of the Eight-headed Club will not give up easily, and those from the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm will also covet this sword; can you defend it?"

With a smile at her lips and without answering Ye Tianfan's question, Ren Ningyue left Linjiang Building supported by Qin Hu, leaving only a mysterious look.

As Ren Ningyue departed, the guests of the ball started to disperse as well, Ye Tianfan felt a slight heaviness in his heart, a flash of sharpness crossing his eyes, it seemed there would definitely be a fierce battle tonight! Given Ren Ningyue's sick appearance, she likely could not handle it, he must assist her!

At this time, Ye Tianfan turned around, looked at Qin Ruomeng, and whispered, "You go home first!"

Qin Ruomeng looked at Ye Tianfan with full of concern, she knew what Ye Tianfan was planning to do, and realized the seriousness of the matter, but she also knew that she could never stop him!

"Don't be too late, I'll wait for you at the villa!"

Ye Tianfan nodded, said no more, was about to turn and leave, but at this moment, a loud explosion erupted from the outdoor parking lot of Linjiang Building, the wave of the explosion hit instantly, shattering even the glass of Linjiang Building!

Ye Tianfan's brows furrowed sharply, a bad feeling rising in his heart, and he leapt out of Linjiang Building with a stride, seeing the outdoor parking lot ablaze, a luxury car had already been blown beyond recognition.

"Not good!"

Ye Tianfan instinctively murmured, hurriedly rushing into the parking lot! Ren Ningyue had just brought out the Soul Guardian Sword when the explosion happened in the parking lot, anyone's instinct would be to assume it was Ren Ningyue's car that exploded!

Sure enough, when Ye Tianfan rushed into the parking lot, he saw Ren Ningyue standing beside the burning car, her face already covered with frost, her eyes icy enough to drop ice shards, gazing northwest.

"Are you alright?" Ye Tianfan walked quickly to Ren Ningyue's side and asked.

"I'm fine." After Ren Ningyue whispered in response, she began to cough violently, her delicate and boneless body trembled, making people feel distressed. Seeing her like this, Ye Tianfan worried that without other intervention, Ren Ningyue might succumb to her illness first.

"Despicable sneak attacks! I thought only people of the Eight-headed Club would resort to such vile acts, I didn't expect such filth to exist in the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm!"

As they spoke, Ren Ningyue's eyes never left the northwest. In the moonlight and fire, two figures flashed past rapidly, already exchanging dozens of moves without a decision, and one of the shadows was Ren Ningyue's bodyguard, Qin Hu, from the Celestial Punishment Team.

Seeing Qin Hu's Body Technique approach, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown; this Qin Hu was evidently a practitioner of Ancient Martial Arts, with a body-hardened skill extraordinarily fierce and every move was full of power, confronting his opponent with straightforward and forceful attacks, his punches striking firmly.

However, the person fighting Qin Hu had a gentle and elusive style, extremely fast in movement, dodging with agility, making it difficult for Qin Hu's formidable hard skills to find a point of force! Though his Fist Technique was aggressive, he could never hit the target.
