Sneaking into the Sword Pavilion

The peculiar and interesting task intrigued Jiang Han.

Is this scripted storyline not awkward?

Watching the bully approaching in the alley, he filtered his thoughts slightly and exclaimed, "Halt!"

Evil trampling!

Activating his skill, Jiang Han leaped high into the air, spinning elegantly, and landed perfectly between the bully and the woman. His right hand held a sword, while his left hand shielded the woman.

Too cool!

Such a magnificent entrance should at least start with a hundred points of pretentiousness, right?

Bully: "???"

Why did this person jump so high for no reason?

"Ding!~"

System Prompt: Beifu felt strange but added an extra point of wariness toward you, gaining 1 point of pretentiousness!

Strange?

Jiang Han was slightly stunned.

Why strange? In martial arts novels, those chivalrous youths who draw their swords to help the oppressed often jump very high, spin elegantly in the air, and land perfectly in the middle, appearing quite impressive, right?

The bully angrily asked, "Dare to spoil my fun, do you know who I am?"

"Hmph!"

Jiang Han coldly snorted, "Do you know who I am?"

"False name?"

"That's right, you can only see the false name, as you are not qualified to know my real name." Jiang Han shook his head, habitually casting the Insight technique on the opponent, almost stunned by the attributes.

This guy is actually Dark Gold-level, with attributes not much different from the level 80 Brandy!

What happened to the promised Difficulty D?

"Ding!~"

System Prompt: Beifu is suspicious of your true identity, gaining 5 points of pretentiousness!

"Regardless of who you are!" Beifu hesitated and probed, "Have the guts to show me your skills!"

"Show my skills?"

Jiang Han's brain rapidly turned, suddenly realizing something. He looked at Sheryl, who was watching the scene from a distance, and immediately understood, "You're too weak, not worthy to witness my strength. Little Sherry, help me drive him away!"

Sheryl: "..."

Little Sherry?

Since he became proficient in swordsmanship, no one had dared to call him that.

However, looking at Jiang Han's meaningful expressions, he probably understood something. He casually grabbed the bully's collar from behind and effortlessly threw him away, playing along, "Scram, my young master can't stand seeing others oppress the innocent."

Young master?

The nearby woman was surprised.

This kind of address... and such a powerful subordinate, able to easily throw away the mayor's son with just one move...

"Wait for it, this isn't over. I'll bring reinforcements!" Beifu fled in embarrassment.

"Ding!~"

System Prompt: Infamous Beifu's hatred value towards you +1000, gaining 30 points of pretentiousness!

"Ding!~"

System Prompt: The woman feels admiration for you, gaining 20 points of pretentiousness!

Damn, getting on the right track!

Jiang Han secretly praised Sheryl, saying, "Miss, I have other matters to attend to, I won't linger. Farewell."

After showing off, he had to run away quickly.

Otherwise, if the other party really brought reinforcements, it would be a big trouble.

"Young master, please tell me your real name." The woman inquired.

Jiang Han, being an honest child, immediately revealed his true name, "I am Daniel!"

Sheryl: "..."

"Ding!~"

System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the fun quest [Cool as the Wind], gaining 56 points of pretentiousness, converted to 560,000 experience points!

Jiang Han checked his experience bar, now at level 39, 56%.

Not bad, at least faster than grinding monsters for experience.

After that, Jiang Han went to the auction house, auctioning all the equipment he had obtained, and then logged out in an open space not far from the Sword Pavilion, waiting for nightfall.

...

Night, 8 o'clock.

"Swoosh!"

Jiang Han logged back in and found Sheryl still by his side.

In the game's night, stars twinkled, and the moonlight covered Qingfeng Town with a faint silver frost.

"Let's go." Sheryl took the initiative to speak.

"Okay!"

Jiang Han nodded, following his mentor to the back of the Sword Pavilion.

In reality, the so-called Sword Pavilion occupied an inconspicuous corner of Qingfeng Town, surrounded by a six-meter-high wall, making it inaccessible.

Jiang Han had searched related content on the forum. Players who stealthily entered the Sword Pavilion would be instantly killed by high-level NPCs if discovered, losing 5 levels directly. The punishment was severe.

Sheryl grabbed Jiang Han's arm, leaped lightly, and crossed the wall, entering the Sword Pavilion.

"Ding!~"

System Prompt: Please note that you have entered the map [Sword Pavilion]!

"Where should we go?" Jiang Han asked.

"You go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion to the east." Sheryl looked cautious, "I believe that the figure there can answer your questions. As for me... I need to go to the Sword Forging Pool to return the sword."

Splitting up?

This...

Jiang Han felt a little uneasy, "The person you mentioned is?"

"The Sword God!" Sheryl stated directly, "You don't need to be nervous. Although I haven't seen this generation's Sword God, practitioners of the sword value a clear conscience. Knowing the purpose of your visit, he won't trouble you."

Won't trouble me?

Bro, it's an S-rank quest. Will it be so easy for him to let me off?

Jiang Han felt a bit helpless.

But then he thought about it. If Sheryl really wanted to help, the difficulty of the side quest probably wouldn't be the so-called S-rank. Like the fun quest, the system dynamically considers the variables of the task in real-time. The reason for the difficulty being D might be related to Sheryl's presence; otherwise, if every task were so easily triggered, players would have long rushed to complete them, and there wouldn't be a chance for him.

"Alright." Jiang Han had no choice but to agree, "You also need to be careful."

"Don't worry, I have a big grudge to settle, and I won't die."

Seeing Cheryl's figure quickly tumbling and disappearing into the dark night, Jiang Han took a deep breath and quietly walked towards the east direction of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

 A few minutes later, he dodged the nearby patrolling sword pavilion disciples and saw the beautiful Hidden Sword Pavilion with its flying eaves reflecting the sky.

 How to get in?

 "If I were the Sword God, I'm afraid he would have discovered me long ago. Uprightness is the kingly rule." Jiang Han's heart moved. He put down his guard and pushed open the Sword Hidden Pavilion. He saw bright lights inside and bookshelves filled with classics everywhere. tidy.

 Not far away, a fourteen- or five-year-old girl was reading a book while lying on a soft red blanket. The girl had a delicate appearance and smooth skin, but her messy hair affected the overall appearance, making her look a bit sloppy.

 She was eating biscuit-like snacks while reading the book with relish. She seemed to be immersed in the book. It wasn't until someone opened the door to the Hidden Sword Pavilion that she noticed the movement. She quickly closed the book and put it in the package, then looked up at Jiang Han. , a bit of surprise appeared on his face: "Why is it you?"

 The art of insight!

 [Sword God·? ? ? ]

 "..."

 Jiang Han was surprised.

 No, the sword god is actually a girl? !
