The legendary weapon recognized its owner. It would return to her in the end; therefore, it was perfectly fine to give it to them for the time being.
Besides, could they even lift the Ice Soul Sword?
The elders only cared about the legendary weapon. They didn’t care if she was leaving. One of the elders squatted down and tried to lift the Ice Soul Sword, but it didn’t budge!
He tried again. It still didn’t budge!
He used all the energy he had. It still didn’t budge!
After attempting and failing to lift it up three times, he finally gave up. “Grand Elder, give it a try.” After saying that, he ran toward Feng Tianlan and blocked her path saying, “You still can’t leave yet.”
Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows and stopped moving. She wanted to stay behind and see them humiliate themselves. Besides, the Ice Soul Sword was hers, so how could she really give it away?
The Grand Elder replied with a soft “uh-huh.” He then put one hand behind his back as he bent down and reached for the sword with minimal effort.
It was so heavy. He couldn’t lift it up!
He looked rather awkward. He then put down the hand on his back and tried to lift the Ice Soul Sword with both his hands.
It was really heavy. He still couldn’t lift it up!
The Grand Elder couldn’t take it anymore. He let out an awkward cough and squatted down. He stabilized himself and gathered his energy in his cinnabar field. He held onto the Ice Soul Sword with both his hands and tensed his sullen face. He then shouted silently in his heart.
One!
Two!
Three!
Lift!
Bang. Before the Grand Elder could even lift the sword, he fell straight on his buttocks. His old face was full of cold sweat as it turned completely pale.
Shi Moning was still standing at the side, gloating at their misfortunes. That was a legendary weapon. It had recognized its owner. It was not something that could simply be lifted by anyone.
Feng Tianlan was looking from the side with an indifferent attitude. Trying to take her stuff? Heh, they couldn’t even lift it up even after obtaining it!
The Grand Elder stood up and dusted himself. He put on a sullen face as he coughed to hide the awkwardness of him failing to lift the Ice Soul Sword. He then said sternly, “A legendary weapon indeed. It really has enough weight. Three elders, let’s all lift this up together.”
Since the strength of one man was not enough, the strength of four should do the trick. They should be able to carry the legendary weapon back.
The three elders agreed. They then stepped forward and squatted down. They held onto the Ice Soul Sword, stabilized themselves, and gathered all their energy in their cinnabar fields. They then counted one to three together and stood up at once.
Bang!
The four elders all fell on their buttocks. The Ice Soul Sword still remained stationary on the ground.
The four elders were sweating and breathing heavily. Looking at the Ice Soul Sword that remained stationary on the ground, they felt a burning sensation on their faces, as if they had been slapped by an invisible person. They had lost all their honor.
It seemed like no one else could move this legendary weapon besides Feng Tianlan. How were they going to bring it back if it was left here?
The three elders gave the Grand Elder a questioning look. “Grand Elder?”
The Grand Elder replied with a deep “uh-huh” and then stood up and dusted himself. He looked as though he hadn’t embarrassed himself. “I’d like to ask Miss Feng to help us carry the legendary weapon home.”
Feng Tianlan raised her head and gave him a faint smile. “Does Grand Elder think that a lady like me can be bullied?”
The Grand Elder’s expression remained unchanged. He then spoke in a generous tone. “The Ice Soul Sword can’t be carried by anyone else besides Miss Feng. Therefore, I’ve no choice but to trouble you. Treat it as a compensation for hurting Miss Biao.”
Feng Tianlan sneered. “Compensation? What do I have to compensate for? I took the Ice Soul Sword from her and then returned it to her afterward. Are you blaming me just because she didn’t hold it properly?”
The Grand Elder’s expression changed. The burning pain on his face worsened.
