Marquiss

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at Emperor Yuan Feng’s back, Zhou shu was a bit puzzled.

Don’t they say that Emperor Yuan Feng is a good-natured and benevolent old

man?

Why does he seem a little unpredictable?

Cough cough-Yin Changhao pretended to cough and only spoke when he saw

Zhou Shu looking at him. “Zhou Shu, did you save Wuyou?

“No.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “It was my senior brother-I mean, Senior

Nameless.”

Oh.” Yin Changhao nodded. His brother had lost his mind and forgot to ask

about important matters.

“Let me ask you. Did you see who injured Wuyou? Yin Changhao asked.

Yin Wuyou was the little princess of the imperial family. How could they let the

person who injured her off so easily?

Did they really think that he, Yin Changhao, wouldn’t kill them?

Zhou Shu thought for a moment before saying, “I heard from my senior

brother that it was Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xíao Shunzhi.”

When he killed Xiao Shunzhi, there shouldn’t have been any outsiders present.

But the Heavenly Mountain Villa’s methods were unfathomable. He didn’t

know if they would be able to find out.

The news of Xiao Shunzhï’s death would become public sooner or later, so

there was no need to hide it.

In any case, there was the nameless expert to take the blame.

“Xiao Shunzhi? Yin Changhao’s eyes widened, and murderous intent burst

from his body.

“Xiao Shunzhi was already killed by my senior brother,” Zhou Shu said without

blinking

It didn’t feel awkward for him to say this. The novels he had read in his

previous life actually came to use.

“Xiao Shunzhi is dead? Yin Changhao’s mouth felt dry.

Xiao Shunzhi’s cultivation level was almost on par with his. The two of them

had fought many times, but neither side won.

Now that an old opponent had died just like that, Yin Changhao didn’t feel the

slightest bit of joy. He only felt his entire body turn cold.

If Nameless could kill Xiao Shunzhi, then he could kill him.

Ever since he advanced to the first rank, Yin Changhao had not felt this way for

many years.

He suddenly felt his safety wasn’t guaranteed even though he was a first-rank

martial artist.

“Brother Zhou. ” Yin Changhao finally said after a while. He wasn’t the

emperor, so why would he care about face?

“Um, did your senior brother give Wuyou a medicinal pill? Then.”

Zhou Shu glanced at Yin Changhao. He had experienced Yin Changhao’s

shamelessness before. Half his share of the Heaven Refining Stone had even

been taken away.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Shu knew what he was thinking

He didn’t expect him not to care about his status and address him as a brother.

“Yes,” Zhou Shu said. “My senior brother gave her a Breakthrough Pill. But this

Breakthrough Pill is only useful for martial artists below the first rank Your

Highness, you don’t need to think about it. It’s useless for you.

“Besides, I don’t have any on me.” Zhou Shu spread out his hands.

Only useful for those below the first rank?” Yin Changhao said in

disappointment. “Brother Zhou, what is your senior brother’s level now?

Yin Changhao was getting more and more comfortable calling him Brother

Zhou.

According to ancient legends, there was another world above the first rank of

the Martial Dao, but no one had ever broken through the first rank.

How could Yin Changhao not be curious about an expert włho was suspected to

be above the first rank?

“Your Highness, don’t you think you’ve asked the wrong person?” Zhou Shu

said helplessly. “Look at me. My spiritual essence cultivation is only at the

eighth rank. Do you think I know what realm my senior brother is at? Even if

he told me, I wouldn’t understand.”

“Alright then,” Yin Changhao said. “I want to visit your senior brother. Could

you help me contact him?”

“Sorry, I can’t contact him either,” Zhou Shu refused. “My senior brother is a

mysterious figure that rarely appears. Unless he comes looking for me, I won’t

be able to find him.”

Then, tell me when he comes to find you..”

“No problem.” You can wait slowly then. He will only appear once in a blue

moon.

“Brother Zhou, if you have time later, why don’t you let me see your

Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique?

Zhou Shu: “..”

Zhou Shu returned to the baron’s mansion from the imperial palace.

Mi Zhifu immediately came to beg for forgiveness. His young master had asked

him to take good care of Zhou Shu. But in the end, Zhou Shu was kidnapped. It

frightened him teribly.

After Zhou Shu comforted him for a long time, Mi Zhifu left the mansion

nervously.

Before he left, Mi Zhifu wanted to arrange a group of guards for the baron’s

residence. But before Zhou Shu could reject him, he was rejected by the Divine

Constable Bureau’s Commander Ma Fengzhang.

The Divine Constable Bureau had specially dispatched a few supreme constables

and a dozen constables to guard the baron’s mansion.

This was not a treatment that ordinary county barons could enjoy.

Of course, this was also because Ma Fengzhang was afraid.

If Zhou Shu disappeared again, he would lose his position as the commander of

the Divine Constable Bureau.

Even though Zhou shu had returned, this matter was not yet resolved.

Who abducted him? How did the other party do it? Why was the death warrior

from the great general’s residence?

For now, there was no conclusion.

Before this matter was concluded, Ma Fengzhang absolutely couldn’t let

anything happen to Zhou Shu again.

Zhou Shu didn’t take these matters to heart.

If they were willing to protect him, then let them protect him. This was even

better. He could save himself some trouble.

He took a comfortable shower and slept.

He slept from day to night, then from night to day. Zhou Shu opened his eyes

and didn’t get up.

In the air in front of him, a book that only he could see was rustling

only after killing Xiao Shunzhi did Zhou shu finally have the mood to look

through the Legendary Armament Canon.

When he killed Xiao Shunzhi earlier, he had received feedback from the

Legendary Amament Canon that his cultivation of the Astounding Heavenly

Eighteen Swords Technique had directly reached perfection.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation afterhe obtained

the Legendary Armament Canon.

Currently, he had received the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, Heavenly

Saber Art, Golden Bell Shield Technique, Visualization of the Five Mountains

True Form, Breakthrough Pills, and the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords

Technique from the Legendary Armament Canon.

In addition, there was also the reward brought by the Great Xia Dragon

Sparrow Saber-the forging formulas for standard weapons.

The Heavenly Saber Art was almost limitless. He couldn’t even see the

pertection stage yet.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique had already reached the twelfth level

and was not too far away from the thirteenth level.

The Golden Bell Shield Technique had also reached the eleventh level and was

only a step away from the twelfth level and reaching perfection.

The Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form was similar to the

Heavenly Saber Art, and he couldn’t see its perfection stage yet.

On the other hand, the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique that

appeared the latest had reached perfection after he killed a first-rank martial

artist.

Zhou Shu had always been curious. If the Legendary Ammament Canon ran out

of rewards, what would happen?

Great Destroyer Sword Zhou Shu recited in his heart.

The Legendary Armament Canon flipped to the page of the Great Destroyer

Sword.

Soon, the page of the Great Destroyer Sword appeared before him.

The content of this page didn’t change much.

At the top was the Great Destroyer Sword’s name.

In the middle was the image of the Great Destroyer Sword.

Farther down was the kill record.

Upgrade (8/100))

Although the feedback from killing a first-rank martial artist was huge, it was

only one kill.

The upgrade of the Great Destroyer Sword still required ninety-two kills.

This made Zhou Shua little depressed.

This was the biggest difference between a ranked weapon and a standard

weapon. By completing kills, upgrades could be unlocked, and rewards would

be given.

Furthermore, as long as he forged 100 of the stated standard weapon, he would

be able to unlock the next weapon. But the reward for the Great Xia Dragon

Sparrow Saber was also the secret forging fornmula for standard weapons, so he

didn’t need to forge 100 of them.

However, the slots for the 100 weapons were still there. Only the 100 weapons

that he personally forged could bring him benefits.

How exactly was he supposed to unlock the next weapon for ranked weapons?

Zhou Shu frowned slightly. The Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords

Technique had already reached perfection. If the Great Destroyer Sword

completed a kill again, would the Legendary Armament Canon not give him

any benefits?

If that was the case, it would be depressing

However, it was not shown on the Legendary Armament Canon currently.

From the looks of it, he could only wait for the Great Destroyer Sword to

complete another kill before he could see the changes.

What a headache. Do I have to carry the Great Destroyer Sword out to kill

people?

Zhou Shu rubbed his forehead.

He didn’t have much interest in killing people. Now that the Great Destroyer

Sword had become public, it was no longer appropriate to hand it over to Sun

Gongping.

It was easy to explain to Sun Gongping. He could just tell him that he hadn’t

been able to forge a ranked weapon.

But with the Great Destroyer Sword in his hands, the biggest problem was that

if he wanted to upgrade it, he would have to kill enemies himself.

As a Forging Master, he couldn’t possibly carry the sword everywhere to kill

enemies.

I can only slowly think ofa way. I have to keep the Great Destroyer Sword with

me, and there are no other ranked weapons on the Legendary Armament

Canon. It seems like I can only remain as a Forging Apprentice..

Zhou Shu let out a long sigh.

Just as he was thinking about it, a shout came from the front. “Lord, an

imperial edict has arrived.”

**

When Zhou Shu arrived at the front hall, he saw Eunuch Zhao again.

Eunuch Zhao was a good person. Every time he came, he would bring him

benefits.

He smiled and greeted Eunuch Zhao, “Eunuch Zhao, good morning. Have you

eaten

Eunuch Zhao was stunned by his greeting. 7his baron is really strange.

“Thank you for your concern, Lord. I have eaten.”

“Eunuch Zhao, what instructions does His Majesty have?” Zhou Shudao asked.

He had forgotten to ask yesterday whether Yang Hong had given those secret

forging formulas to Emperor Yuan Feng.

Right now, he was temporarily unable to forge any ranked weapons. Thus, he

could only continue to forge standard weapons. He had to make good use of the

secret forging formulas.

It’s a good thing” Eunuch Zhao smiled. “Baron Zhou, no, I should call you

Marquis Zhou henceforth.”

Eunuch Zhao sighed with emotion. The imperial edict that sealed Zhou Shu as

a county baron had been personally delivered by him.

How long has it been?

A month?

At most a month!

And then he was made a marquis?

He’s probably the only person promoted to a marquis so quickly in Great Xia.

Of all the marquises in the history of Great Xia, which one of them hadn’t

fought on the battlefield for decades before winning the title of marquis?

Even during the founding of the country, there was no such rapid promotion.

However, his achievements left others speechless.

He had recovered two prefectures for Great Xia. Not many people in the

thousand years of history of Great Xia could compare to him. In the current

dynasty, only Great General Meng could compare to him in terms of military

achievements.

Is this a genius

Comparisons were odious,

Eunuch Zhao began to read the imperial decree. “Zhou Shu, accept the decree.

Zhou Shu forged the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber and made a great

contribution to the country. He will be bestowed the title of the You Marquis!”

Marquis You? Zhou Shu was a little dissatisfied. This title doesn’t sound good.

How domineering would it be to be conferred the title of’Champion Baron?

“Eunuch Zhao, His Majesty bestowed me with the title of the You Marquis.

Could it be that he wants to send me to You Prefecture?”

Zhou Shu knew very well that You Prefecture was currently in a state of

desolation. After what had happened, it was still uncertain hovw many people

there were.

What would he do in You Prefecture?

“No. Marquis, you are thinking too much.” Eunuch Zhao smiled and shook his

head. “Our Great Xia’s titles are all empty titles. Don’t mind it. Your fief is You

Prefecture, but you don’t have to go there. You Prefecture has the You

Prefecture governor to take care of it.”

To put it bluntly, Zhou Shu, the You Marquis, could get benefits without having

to work.

This isn’t bad. Zhou Shu didn’t think about how much tax You Prefecture could

receive in its current state.

Eunuch Zhao continued, “Marquis, His Majesty has said that your residence

has high standards to begin with. This time, he will not award you with

another mansion. I’ll get someone to change the plaque later.

Zhou shu pouted, but he didn’t mind.

His current residence was not small. There were many places he had yet to

visit.

In the past, he might have wanted to stay away from his boSs. But now, his

attitude has changed..

“Eunuch Zhao, tell me. What rank is the You Marquis?

Zhou Shu didn’t know much about the official system of Great Xia. In his

memories, in the ancient times of his previous life, the different dynasties had

different ranks.

“Marquis, in our Great Xia, is the second rank,” Eunuch Zhao explained. “King,

duke, marquis, count, viscount, followed by baron. King transcends the ranks,

while duke is the first rank, and marquis is the second rank..”

Second rank?

When he was baron, he was a fifth-rank official. And now he was promoted to

a second-rank official?

A second-ranked official, if placed in his previous life, was he already at the

level where he would be given a state funeral.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Shu didn’t mind the strange-sounding title of

the You Marquis. Emperor Yuan Feng was quite good.

From nowon, Im also a top figure

If only I could officially become a Forging Master..

Although he had now become a marquis and could lead an easy life for the rest

of his life, Zhou Shu hadn’t forgottern his roots. Forging was his foundation

Even though he became a marquis, he wouldn’t leave the Forging Division.

“Marquis, your current status is no longer suitable to bea workshop

superintendent. His Majesty wishes to give you another task. ” Eunuch Zhao

suddenly said.

“Change jobs? No!” Zhou Shu said fimly. “I only know how to forge. What else

can I do after leaving the Forging Division? His Majesty wouldn’t want me to go

into battle, right?I don’t want to go. My senior brother won’t agree either”

Eunuch Zhao’s face darkened. Your senior brother? The one who killed Great

Wefs imperial preceptor

He was a trusted aide of Emperor Yuan Feng, so he naturally knew of this news.

“Your Majesty doesn’t mean-” Eunuch Zhao said.

“What does His Majesty mean”

Eunuch Zhao felt resentful. I cant possibly say that His Majesty wants you to

stay away from Her Highness

I can’t say that. Right now, His Majesty only wants to discuSs with Marquis

Zhou After all, if he’s really transferred out of the Forging Division, it will be a

loss to Great Xia.

Since the marquis is’t willing, then His Majesty will likely put this matter

aside

“His Majesty only wants to seek your opinion. After all, a workshop

superintendent of the Forging Division isn’t worthy of your status.”

“Even gold can’t buy my will. I like being a workshop superintendent.”

Eunuch Zhao:”.
