Chapter 640 A Ton of Guesses!

“A teenage guru?”

“It is said that a young man’s voice was heard at the auction. Even though there were so many eighth-class and ninth-class experts at the scene, none of them could locate him. Therefore, they are all certain that the person who auctioned the Guru Sword off is a teenage guru!”

For a time, the news got viral online.

With the fermentation of these rumors, everyone in Wulin boiled with excitement!

“How is this possible?”

“How could there be a teenage guru in this era? Even during the golden years when martial arts were popular all over the country, there were not many teenage gurus!”

“It can’t be. In today’s society, even regular gurus are scarce. How could there be a teenage guru?”

“If they say it is an old guru, I might buy it. But a teenage guru? Isn’t it bullshit?”

For a while, countless people doubted and contradicted that news.

When those large forces, well-known families, and famous Wulin geniuses heard the news, they were also staggered and suspicious.

Somewhere in Huaxia.

In a luxurious villa.

“Father.”

A young man in sportswear, who had just finished the evening jogging, ran into the villa while wiping off his sweat. At a middle-aged man coming downstairs, he said out loud, “I’ve got news from the Chic Cloud Pavilion.”

“I already know.”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “It took me by surprise that a Guru Sword was actually sold for a sky-high price of 300 million yuan. However, it’s the first time that a Guru Sword showed up in the market, and it also has the feature of absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth. The 300 million yuan the Diwu family spent is worth it.”

“Speaking of the Diwu family,” the young man turned his pupils and said, “I heard that Diwu Qian is not only one rank higher than me in the ranking of the top ten martial arts geniuses but also has a beauty that can overthrow states and cities.”

“What are you thinking?”

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes at the youth and admonished, “Our Mu family’s cultivation method pursues vital essence and primordial Qi. You’re still too young to consider the matters between men and women.”

“I see.”

The young man smiled awkwardly, and then instantly asked in a low voice, “Father, it is said that the owner of the Guru Sword who sold it at the auction Chic Cloud Pavilion held is a teenage guru. Do you think this is possible?”

“What do you reckon?” The middle-aged man asked instead of answering.

“Impossible!”

The young man shook his head at once and said, “I was forced by you to practice since I was a child. Though I’m not the most gifted in the martial arts world, I’ve at least ranked third of the top ten geniuses. In my case, I’ve been practiced for more than 20 years before I finally broke through to the eighth-class with two opened meridians. But am I a teenager? No, I am already in my youth.”

“A teenager. Only those under the age of 20 can be considered a teenager. In my opinion, this story of the teenage guru must have been made up by those who attended the auction. How could anyone become a guru before 20? Anyway, I don’t believe it.”

The middle-aged man went downstairs. He walked slowly to the door, shaking his head, a faint smile on his face.

“Father, what do you mean by this?” Asked the young man.

“Rumors are always based on some ground.”

The middle-aged man then added, “There are hope and despair in everything. Since everyone is saying so, it’s not necessarily false. But from the logical analysis, it’s unlikely to be true.”

“Then is it true or false?” The young man asked, feeling sort of lost in his father’s speculation.

“A guru. It’s possible.”

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, “He can’t be a teenager. If he is, it’s likely that the teenager has a master who is a guru. But the teenager is not.”

The youth nodded pensively.

On the Wulin online forum.

“What do you mean by a teenage guru? I say it’s a complete sham.”

“How can a sham be willing to auction a real Guru Sword?”

“The world has long changed. Nowadays, the vast majority of people practicing martial arts just want to strengthen their bodies. There is also a possibility that someone has obtained a Guru Sword and is afraid of being targeted by others coveting on the sword. So he chose to sell it at an auction. In this way, he can not only live a wealthy life but also avoid disasters. He would only be too glad to do it, wouldn’t he?”

“If he’s not a guru, why have so many experts failed to find him?”

“Maybe he’s short of money.”

“Alas, when it comes to lack of money, I suddenly think of a man— the mysterious man, John Doe!”

“What’s this got to do with John Doe?”

“I was also present at the auction. After listening to what you said, the voice I heard today is really similar to the voice of John Doe.”

“No way!”

“I’m a professional bidder at auctions. When John Doe went to Baoyi Auction House last time, I saw him and heard him talking. Come to think of it, the voice we heard at the auction really sounded like the voice of the mysterious man John Doe!”

“It’s really possible. John Doe seems to be a little tight every time he showed up. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been selling Earth Treasures all the time. After all, Heaven and Earth Treasures are not easy to find. If John Doe’s still badly off after selling all his Earth Treasures, he might really start to sell his swords.”

“He can’t really be John Doe, can he?”

“Think about it. Even eighth-class experts are no match for John Doe. John Doe is likely to be a guru-level expert. It’s not really a surprise that he can take a Guru Sword to auction!”

The more the netizens discussed, the more talkative they became.

And the more likely they thought it was.

Although no one saw the seller at the auction, judging from his voice and the fact that he was hard up for money, the person who auctioned the guru sword had quite a lot in common with the mysterious John Doe.

Just as everyone had subconsciously regarded the mysterious John Doe as the seller of the Guru Sword at the auction, on the Wulin online forum, many people began to cry out in grief!

“If this is true, it’s too fu*king dramatic, isn’t it?”

“How many good things does this John Doe have? After selling out Earth Treasures, he is now selling swords, and even auctioned a Guru Sword. This guy is a treasure house!”

“Why do I feel that all the treasures in Wulin are in John Doe’s darn hands?”

In a city in Huaxia.

In a very large pear garden.

A young man with fine features was strolling among the pear trees in the garden. At this time, the pear flowers were not blooming, so the place looked rather bleak.

“I heard the Chic Cloud Pavilion has auctioned a Guru Sword. Is it true?” The young man asked while walking. A maid was following closely behind him.

“Yes.”

The maid nodded and said, “Seems that the auction has just ended.”

“Is there any news?” Asked the young man.

“It is said that the one who sold the Guru Sword is a teenage guru, but it has not been confirmed yet,” the maid answered.

“A teenage guru?”

The young man snorted coldly as a shade of disdain appeared on his arrogant face.

“That’s just a rumor. Young Master is the number one of the top ten geniuses in Wulin. There is absolutely no one more brilliant than Young Master in Wulin,” the maid added hastily.

“You can go now.”

The young man stopped short and looked up at the night sky with a proud face, and the contempt on his face became more conspicuous.

Just like what his maid had said, he was the head of the top ten geniuses in Wulin, who was even at a rank higher than Diwu Qian. He was now an eighth-class Martial Superior with three meridians, and he was just about to break through to the ninth class.

He did not believe anyone in this world could be more powerful than him.

“A teenage guru? Humph!”

With a cold snort, the young man shook his head and sneered, murmuring, “I don’t believe it at all. In the younger generation of Wulin, I am king! Even though that John Doe has defeated an eighth-class expert with one opened meridian, he definitely can’t be more impressive than me. I am an eighth-class Martial Superior with three opened meridians. I am the number one genius in Wulin!”

In Jiangjing.

At the special forces base.

“A teenage guru?”

As a martial arts practitioner in the army, Li Ji had kept an eye on the Chic Cloud Pavilion’s auction of the Guru Sword from the start. As soon as the auction ended, he learned the whole story of the auction on the Wulin online forum.

At first, he was also very curious about who on earth it was that took a Guru Sword to auction.

When the mysterious man John Doe came up in the discussion, Li Ji also immediately thought of Fang Qiu.

“Could it really be him?”

Li Ji couldn’t believe it. He was absolutely sure that Fang Qiu was a guru. Since so many people thought that the seller might be the mysterious John Doe, who was probably Fang Qiu, it was really possible that Fang Qiu was the seller.

After all, he had never seen anyone so amazing other than Fang Qiu.

“But…”

“How did he get so many swords?”

“And one of those is even a Guru Sword?”

At the thought of the Guru Sword auctioned off for 300 million yuan, Li Ji was also astounded.

“I hope it’s really him.”

“If it’s really him, I’d have to seriously consider whether to ask him to get some weapons for the army.”

At this idea, Li Ji couldn’t help but grin.

In the Chic Cloud Pavilion in the capital.

After the auction, Fang Qiu left with He Gaoming.

When all kinds of comments were fermenting wildly on the Internet, Fang Qiu and He Gaoming, however, had a big row because of a sword.

“My sword!”

He Gaoming had been holding his anger back. When they left the Chic Cloud Pavilion, He Gaoming finally got to stare at Fang Qiu with a bitter face as if an innocent child who had been bullied. Then, he mumbled, “My sword, my sword!”

It looked like he was on the verge of tears.

“Here, here.”

At the sight of He Gaoming’s wronged look, Fang Qiu shook his head and let out a chuckle before saying, “I’ll compensate you with a better one when I go back.”

“Really?”

He Gaoming’s eyes lit up.

That was what he had been waiting to hear.

The sword had already been taken away by that young man. Even though he wanted it back, he could no longer have it. But what he feared was not that the sword was taken away, but that it would be completely gone since then.

Yet, now that Fang Qiu promised to give him a new one as compensation, he was happy again.

What was more, the happiest thing was that Fang Qiu had promised him a better one.

Better than that sixth-class sword.

So would it be a seventh-class or eighth-class sword?

“Really.”

Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively.

“Then I want a Guru Sword!” He Gaoming shouted in excitement.

“Hum?”

Fang Qiu was a little taken aback. He gazed at He Gaoming speechlessly and taunted, “I say you’re a guru’s sore!”

“You said you would give me a better one.”

He Gaoming threw a look at Fang Qiu speechlessly and said, “Anyway, you have to keep your promise. At worst, it should be a sixth-class sword!”

“Okay,” Fang Qiu agreed with pleasure.

“That’s more like it.”

He Gaoming nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn’t get the Guru Sword, it was not bad to have a new one better than what he had before.

“Off you go by yourself.”

Walking to an empty alley, Fang Qiu halted and said, “I’ve got some other business.”

“I know.”

He Gaoming immediately said, “Go and get the money, rich man!”

Then, he left with a bitter face.

Outside the Chic Cloud Pavilion, the members of the major forces still did not disperse. Everyone was waiting for the seller of the Guru Sword to come to collect his money. Along the way, they looked around very carefully. But no one was seen to leave for the backstage or enter the CCP Hotel.

All the people who attended the auction today had come to the outside.

Therefore, the person who had auctioned off the Guru Sword would surely come here to collect money!
