Chapter 1767: Not Hiding, Giving It Away
Shu Yu smiled and said, "But Uncle Meng looks very relieved."
Meng Pei chuckled, "That's right. Your little uncle has a straightforward personality, to put it bluntly, he can be a bit foolish and doesn't know how to be cunning. But from another perspective, he's very loyal and devoted. Don't people like him make you feel secure?"
He said this with a sense of pride.
Shu Yu, "..."
She couldn't help but shake her head, accompanying Meng Pei as they walked outside. When she saw that everyone ahead had walked away, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Uncle Meng, about that Xuan Yuan sword, is it really..."
Meng Pei also replied in a hushed tone, "The Xuan Yuan sword is still in the possession of Quansheng Escort in Tianning County."
However, when Shu Yu heard this, her steps suddenly halted.
Quansheng Escort in Tianning County, wasn't that the place where Meng Pei and Song Xin had spent ten years? Later, Song Xin died there, and half of the escort was burned down by the people sent by the Gongqiu Sect.
Wait...
Shu Yu suddenly remembered something, she looked up at Meng Pei, furrowing her brows in thought, "Uncle Meng, do you remember when we returned to Tianning County back then and saw Senior Yan?"
"What's the matter?"
"At that time, after we entered the door, we happened to see Three Laizi's gang preparing to carry Senior Yan, who was in a high fever and unconscious, out of the escort. We caught them red-handed. Three gang confessed that someone had paid them to do this, and the purpose was to take over Quansheng Escort. Later, we followed those Three instructions and waited in the agreed meeting place, but we never met the person who had paid them."
Meng Pei remembered, "You mean..."
"I couldn't figure it out before. Why would the person behind those Three, for no apparent reason, suddenly want to do something to Quansheng Escort? That house had already been burned down, and there was nothing left inside. Now that I've heard Uncle Meng say that there's still the Xuan Yuan sword inside, could it be that they were after that sword?"
Meng Pei was suddenly surprised, nodding thoughtfully, "You're right. Quansheng Escort indeed has nothing left. Especially after all these years, Gongqiu Sect has already sent people to search inside and out. But I hid that sword very well. If the other party really knows about the Xuan Yuan sword, then after taking over Quansheng Escort, they could slowly search for it. It's not impossible."
However, the other party clearly hadn't expected that Gongqiu had died, but Meng Pei was still alive.
Quansheng Escort had been repaired by now, and although Meng Pei and his son didn't live there, the house had an owner. Meng Yunzheng had already become a scholar, and it wouldn't be easy for the other side to take it over.
Meng Pei tightened his lips and, after a while, said, "It seems that when this matter here is settled, I'll have to go back to Tianning County and retrieve that sword."
"Uncle Meng, where do you plan to hide it after you take it out?"
Meng Pei snorted, "I won't hide it; I'll give it away."
Shu Yu said, "You're willing to give it away?"
"What's there to be unwilling about? While that sword is indeed excellent, it can't be taken out to show others in ordinary days. It's also quite heavy, and if you're not a strongman, you can't use it at all. We would have to be constantly on edge because of the reputation it carries. Why bother with all that?"
