The Gold and Silver Sect Encounter a Monster During Their Visit

　　This traces back to what happened twelve years ago. Back then, the land was at peace. The emperor decided to go on a tour far away. He brought along people who were almost invincible.

　　Said people were two of the Ultimate Three, forming the most fearsome incognito travelling team.

　　They went to see the flouris.h.i.+ng scenery in Jiangnan and visited all of the schools of the Seven White Champion Princes.

　　The Seven White Champion Princes were located in all different parts of Jiangnan. Lushan Jianguan was located at Lushan, Cold Mountain temple was located at Suzhou, and Valley of Yearning was located at Songjiang. None of them was far from the capital, but the first one the emperor visited was Zhenjiang's Gold and Silver Sect.

　　It's said that the Gold and Silver Sect's wealth could rival the nation's wealth. How rich they were and how they could rival the nation were two things the emperor was always keen to know. Therefore, he went there with his complete team. He didn't want to go to their headquarters as the emperor, but he was stunned when he arrived!

　　Their headquarters looked simple. They occupied a s.p.a.cious area with stairs in front of a row of trees.

　　What shocked the emperor was the row of trees. The tree trunks were made from pure silver. The leaves were made from gold by artisans. There were at least a hundred of those trees.

　　The emperor hadn't seen so-called golden leaves and silver trees anywhere but at the empress's palace. While he was still stunned, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound next to his ear.

　　A strong and st.u.r.dy looking man rushed over from behind.

　　"Stop! Who are you to dare look at my gold and silver trees?! The Gold and Silver Sect's headquarters are ten yards inside. Who dares stir trouble?!"

　　It was the old master of the Gold and Silver Sect. At the time, the emperor got into a fight with him. After the fight, they cleared the misunderstanding. The old master was absolutely frightened by the revelation. However, the emperor is a hearty man, and his generous temperament clicked with the old master, so the two of them went from enemies to friends after over three hundred drinks.

　　At the time, the emperor witnessed the old master's only son Jin w.a.n.gsun training with a sabre. The emperor's love for talent surfaced when he saw his good looks and well-trained skills with a sabre.

　　He was now best friends with the boy's father. But because he was also under the influence, he made a promise with the old master. That was to betroth a princess to Jin w.a.n.gsun once he became the master of the sect.

　　If the Jin family was to become in-laws with the royal family, then the Gold and Silver Sect would forever be friends with the Imperial Court.

　　Old Master Jin laughed and signed the agreement with the emperor. The name of the princess to be betrothed wasn't written, but it was written that it had to be a princess.

　　Everybody knew that it was something said while under the influence, though.

　　Needless to say, the emperor regretted it after he was sober once again. The emperor is the most famous daughter-con in the entire nation, so there's no way he'd marry his daughter off to some s.p.u.n.ky kid.

　　Need evidence? Throughout the entire nation, a girl is suitable for marriage between fourteen to eighteen years of age. However, the emperor insists on raising his daughters until they're twenty before marrying them off. The same applied for Princess Hongzhuang.

　　The emperor planned to get himself out of the agreement by exploiting a loophole. When he thought about it carefully, he realised that the agreement wasn't established.

　　Princess Hongzhuang was just eleven at the time, while Jin w.a.n.gsun was no older than sixteen at most. The old master wasn't old at the time either.

　　He was a fit mature man at the time. He had only been running the Gold and Silver Sect for a few decades. He possessed profound internal strength, so it was clear that he could continue running the sect for a few more decades.

　　Most importantly was that the Seven White Champion Princes were household names with strong foundations, big family businesses and packed with talented individuals. Therefore, those who could become the master of their sect had to be at least forty or over. There had never been a twenty or thirty-year-old individual who could convince their sect to accept them as the master. Hence, it was normal for members of the Seven White Champion Princes to be at a specific age.

　　After much deliberation, the emperor thought that Jin w.a.n.gsun couldn't become the master of his sect until he was at least forty. If he still remembered this after he became the master, then it wouldn't matter, since his children would all be married with kids. He could then marry a betrothal princess to him without any difficulty when the time came.

　　But never did he imagine that the heavens had another plan in mind! Jin w.a.n.gsun managed to become the master of his sect before thirty and he just had to remember the promise!! Worse, he just had to come knocking!!

　　Jin w.a.n.gsun smiled and said, "w.a.n.gsun has prepared a humble gift. w.a.n.gsun hopes that you will accept it, Your Majesty."

　　The emperor and Eunuch w.a.n.g exchanged eye contact. Then he replied, "Permitted!"

　　His six servants behind him carried an iron container. The container didn't look large, but it appeared it was very heavy for the six. The six of them placed it down on the ground gently. It made a loud thud when it landed on the ground, making people wonder, 'I wonder something so heavy could be.'

　　There was a mechanism on the container. Jin w.a.n.gsun opened the lid gently, revealing a flash of gold. A sharp aura from inside virtually burst forth from the container. Inside was a thick large sabre with a handle made from half-gold and half-silver. The handle was long. It was made according to an ancient style. The blade was flat and smooth like a mirror. The blade reflected light from all directions as soon as the container was opened. The sharp blade lay there.

　　Jinluan Hall paled in comparison to how majestic the blade was!

　　Jin w.a.n.gsun chuckled, "You have travelled the lands and have seen many rare items, Your Majesty. Therefore, I also had trouble coming up with a gift idea that would show uniqueness. If my Gold and Silver Sect is to give a gift, this Golden Crow Moon Eater blade is the only item that can express sincerity."
