I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 428 : 426

"What did you say?" Noki Kimura was stunned, and so were Zhang Menglong's roommates.

The Caoji Sword was one of the three divine artifacts of Kaibong, along with the Three-Inch Mirror and the Three-Inch Qiong Jade, all esteemed as sacred relics of the Royal Family!

In many folk tales of Kaibong, stories of these three artifacts are widespread, and they are famously known in other countries as well.

However, to date, these three items had never been exhibited in any public locations; whether they truly existed was still a secret worth pondering.

If they didn't exist, Zhang Menglong's request was utterly nonsensical!

But even if they did exist, these were national treasures! They represented the glory and sanctity of a nation's Royal Family—did you really want to use such a divine weapon to slice roast lamb? Weren't you afraid of harming your karmic virtue?

Why don't you use the Square Sky Halberd to shave your head or the Xuanyuan Sword for a manicure?

Even if you're going to make an outrageous request, it should at least be achievable, right?

"I mean, borrowing that Caoji Sword of yours for a bit—I've heard that the Caoji Sword is exceptionally sharp; whether it's for cutting meat or slicing salmon, it would be remarkably good," said Zhang Menglong.

"Old Zhang, I think you're getting carried away!"

"Aren't you afraid of accidentally cutting your own mouth?"

"Isn't using such a thing for these tasks way too overkill?" whispered the roommates, "Besides, who knows if this artifact actually exists."

"Even if it's a divine artifact, it's just a tool, right? Do you guys know about the Tai'a Sword, one of the great divine swords of Huaxia?" asked Zhang Menglong.

"Yes, we know!" everyone nodded.

"I heard that it appeared in an auction many years ago and was bought by some mysterious buyer, who then vanished over the years."

"That was bought by my dad," Zhang Menglong said, "and now it's used for chopping wood on one of our farms."

"Last year, I bought a watch!"

"Aren't you afraid of facing divine retribution?"

"I damn well..."

"If the Cultural Heritage Bureau finds out what you've done, you should get ready to 'drink tea' in jail!" Sun Yulei said, as someone deeply respectful of cold weapons, Zhang Menglong's actions were utterly disdainful to him.

"Sorry," Zhang Menglong shrugged, "but this thing is originally owned by our family!"

Sun Yulei: "???"

"Are you a descendant of Gan Jiang, Mo Ye, or Ou Yezi?" the three asked, but those ancient weapons masters didn't bear the surname Zhang.

"No, but one of my ancestors was their master; all the ten great divine swords were forged under my ancestor's guidance, and the materials were also supplied by him. Doesn't that make them my family's items?" Zhang Menglong said.

"Give it a break, why don't you go ask Aisin-Gioro Puyi—the whole Forbidden City used to belong to his family, but didn't he need to buy a ticket when he visited the Forbidden City later?"

"That's because the Great Qing was no more!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Our family is not the Great Qing, forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway."

Zhang Menglong turned his head towards Noki Kimura, "Mr. Kimura, I think you wouldn't be so stingy as to refuse to lend me a tool for cutting lamb chops, right?"

"This..." Noki Kimura was simply not in a position to decide!

Indeed, not only did the Caoji Sword exist, but the other two artifacts did as well!

The Caoji Sword was an impressive weapon, having flowed into Kaibong from Huaxia many years ago, a divine weapon crafted by ancient Huaxian artifact-refining standards, classified as a Level Four weapon!

It had always been a symbol of the Kaibong Royal Family, representing supreme imperial authority and the power to command beneath only one person and above tens of thousands.

The Caoji Sword that is currently enshrined in the Royal Family is actually a fake. The real Caoji Sword, as the weapon of the Nin Emperor of Kaibong, has always remained by the Nin Emperor's side.

The Nin Emperor considers it his most powerful companion and supreme glory. Why would he ever agree to lend it to Zhang Menglong to cut lamb?

"Mr. Zhang, to tell you the truth, the Caoji Sword simply doesn't exist. It's just an ancient legend in our Kaibong," Noki Kimura hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Kimura, are you really taking me for someone who is uneducated?" Zhang Menglong said, slightly angered, "Although I'm only an undergraduate, there's nothing my family doesn't know when it comes to information and intelligence!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the underwear you're wearing today should be pink!"

"How did you kno..." Noki Kimura blurted out instinctively, and by the time he wanted to forcibly shut himself up, it was already too late.

This was one of his biggest quirks. Except for his closest people, no one should have known this fact. How could Zhang Menglong possibly know?

"Mr. Zhang, you really shouldn't joke about such things, I'm a real man, how could I possibly wear pink underwear?" Noki Kimura said, keeping a straight face.

But given his reaction just now, all explanations seemed feeble.

"Alright, no more explanations, we all believe you, you are definitely a real man!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! So unforeseeable!"

"So this is the color a tough guy should like!"

At this moment, Noki Kimura wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Mr. Kimura, as far as I know, the Caoji Sword is right beside your Nin Emperor. If you're not willing to help me borrow it, then I'll just have to make a call myself!"

Zhang Menglong took out his cell phone and started operating it.

"You're kidding, right?" Noki Kimura looked puzzled, knowing that in their Dark Ninja community, they generally don't use devices like smartphones.

Imagine you're in the middle of a very secretive mission, and suddenly your cell phone rings, or electromagnetic interference catches the enemy's attention—that's just asking for trouble!

"My phone can detect any frequency of electromagnetic waves," Zhang Menglong laughed, "As long as that person has a communication tool nearby, there is no one in this world that Zhang Menglong can't contact!"

At the Dark Ninja headquarters, the Nin Emperor was training a few of his top ninjas when suddenly his communicator slightly vibrated, but this frequency was not from anyone he recognized.

He hesitated for a moment but eventually answered the call.

"Are you there? What are you doing? Lend me the Caoji Sword!" a young voice came from the communicator.

"Who are you?" The Nin Emperor was baffled, wasn't it normal to introduce oneself first?

"Oh, my name is Okada Kazi, and you must be Okada Kazuo, right?"

"I am Okada Kazuo!" the Nin Emperor blurted out in shock, immediately putting on the Mask of Pain, "Are you Zhang Menglong?"

"Haha, sorry, I got your name wrong," Zhang Menglong laughed, "I'm currently having a meal at your family villa, just borrowing your Caoji Sword to cut a whole roasted lamb!"

"Zhang Menglong, what do you think our Kaibong is?" the Nin Emperor suppressed his anger. He knew that Zhang Menglong was staying in a villa that belonged to his family, which was undoubtedly a great insult to him.

Now he even dared to ask for the Caoji Sword, to use it to cut lamb? He was the Nin Emperor! Did he have no shame?

"Not lending it?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Fine, if you're not lending it, just remember that I believe your headquarters is on Qiuzhi Island. I'll send someone to demolish it soon!"

"You! How did you know?" The Nin Emperor was shocked. Their headquarters was known only to the Dark Ninjas, and even within the Kaibong Cabinet, only a handful know of it.

"Nonsense, I even know your contact details, how could I not know your hometown?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Remember, I'm only giving you the duration of one song!"
