I Maneuvered in the World for Decades, Then Ying Zheng Made Me a Chamber Sweeper

I have spent decades maneuvering in the world, residing in Chenyang Palace and earning the respect of all under heaven.

Then one day, a young fellow named Ying Zheng barged in...

"When I was a hostage in Zhao, I studied swordsmanship under the Sword Saint Gai Nie."

"The sword technique I learned was created by the Sword Saint from a fragment of a manual that had been lost for a hundred years."

"My master once said that if he could practice the complete version of that lost manual in his lifetime, he could die without regrets."

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Elder Ying Chen raised an eyebrow.

He asked, "What is the name of the sword manual your master wants to practice?"

"To answer you, sir, the sword manual my master wants to practice is the Nine Swords of Dugu!"

"The Nine Swords of Dugu?"

Ying Chen murmured to himself, apparently trying to recall something.

A moment later, Ying Chen pointed to a shelf piled with odds and ends in the Sword Repository and said,

"Go rummage through that junk. I think I threw the Nine Swords of Dugu in there."
