Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.39 - Li Han's

The old grandfather who had ushered them in before simply disappeared shortly after the ten children entered the door. The next few breaths the grandfather was already at the end of the same room as Fu Chen.

Sitting leisurely while crossing his legs without Fu Chen noticing at all. The old grandfather also noticed Qiao Wu's movements that were always tailing behind Fu Chen.

Ekhem!

The old grandfather cleared his throat slowly, but due to the silence his voice could be heard by Fu Chen and Qiao Wu.

"Ah... greetings, elder!" Qiao Wu and Fu Chen bowed in unison. Both of them were both shocked when they realized that the elder who had been outside was now in front of them.

"What's the elder?" fu Chen asked as the atmosphere there began to feel tense and made him uncomfortable.

"Can't I keep an eye on you? Young people today are so disrespectful to an old man like me…"

"No. that's not how I mean, uh. I'm sorry elder," Fu Chen could only sigh inwardly in response to the elder's remark.

The elder let out a small laugh, his old voice making Fu Chen worry that something will come out of his mouth. "Don't you take this seriously, there's a little question for both of you because only you chose this room."

Fu Chen only realized that there were only two people, himself and Qiao Wu. Three if in addition to the elder who suddenly appeared earlier.

"Right as well..why didn't Tan Bao choose the martial door? I think he's a person who quite likes him" Fu Chen muttered as he looked at the surroundings, there was indeed no one else but the three of them.

"Then...what do you want the elders to ask?"

The elder stroked his white beard for a moment while glancing at Fu Chen and Qiao Wu in turn.

"That's easy. Why don't you guys go with the others to the gun door? they look so excited about choosing swordsmanship and more, and you two?"

"Oh that. I need martial arts to protect me in the future." Fu Chen replied quite smoothly. He wasn't lying if he needed it to protect himself?

"A good reason. But, do you think swordsmanship can't protect you either? Why is the sword used by many warriors if he cannot protect you? The sword is a practical weapon, just swing it, then your opponent will keep his distance. Then, who did you choose?"

The elder flashed his smile as he looked at Fu Chen's gloomy face.

"Sorry, elder."

"Then you, that girl over there," pointed the elder towards Qiao Wu.

"Eh, me?" Qiao replied while pointing to himself.

"Yes, what's your name?"

"Em. Qiao Wu." Qiao Wu slightly swallowed his saliva, his heart started to beat faster than usual.

"What's your excuse?"

"That's. I'm afraid to see blood." Qiao Wu replied as he played his index finger and his shaky left leg.

"Lied right?! he must be lying!" Inner Fu Chen shouted in annoyance, where perhaps the girl seemed to be afraid of seeing blood.

Even when hunting, it was awe-inspiring in the Village they passed by and when Fu Chen finished off the bandits before his eyes. Qiao Wu still looked quite calm, how could the girl possibly be afraid of seeing blood. Fu Chen was eager to pull the girl's ear so she could tell the truth.

Qiao Wu nodded his head.

"One more time, you will be kicked out of this room when your time is up, you will not get any books when that happens either." The elder walked past Fu Chen and Qiao Wu just like that, intending to leave.

"And you!" The elder pointed at Fu Chen, "Go to the fifth floor after your business here is done!" After saying that, it disappeared like the wind.

Fu Chen gulped his saliva roughly, "have I offended him? that's impossible, right? but said the father of parents in the martial world has a strange attitude...what is my history only up here?"

Fu Chen laughed bitterly in his heart while stroking his chest.

"Fu Chen, are you okay?" qiao Wu asked seeing Fu Chen's condition was quite apprehensive with cold sweat continuously flowing from his forehead.

"It's okay, we better find the book quickly. Before the time's up."

Nearly five hours passed, one by one the disciples began to come out from behind the door with a book each of them carried.

"Hey, Qiao Wu!" Call Sin Lou while waving his hand, the distance between the doors is indeed quite far. Sin Lou and Kyoto even had to run small to get to Qiao Wu. They were also followed by a new figure, Xiao Yi.

"Ah, Kyoto, Sin Lou.." Reply Qiao Wu.

"He mentioned Kyoto first?" Sin Lou muttered as he swung his lips.

"It turns out that Xiao Yi also exists, how is it? did you get the book you wanted?" Qiao Wu was a little excited as he was accompanied by another girl.

"Of course, look what I found!" Sin Lou showed off his book with pride.

"Eastern Tambak? What'sthat?" Qiao Wu tilted his face feeling astonished by the name of the style that Sin Lou had.

"Heh, of course you don't know. The eastern waves are the science of the book that will take me around the seas of this world. In it discussed the movements of the great sword. My dream will soon be realized. Hahaha.." Sin Lou laughed in satisfaction after explaining the contents of his book.

Qiao Wu laughed awkwardly as he scratched his cheek, "The two of you?"

"I chose the knowledge of daggers, my energy is not enough to use a sword." Kyoto answered listlessly, he was tired enough to have to go around the room looking for a book science that suits him.

"If I were. I would choose an ordinary swordsmanship." Xiao Yi also showed me his book.

"I just realized, Fu Chen?" Kyoto asked after paying attention to the surroundings and did not find Fu Chen around there.

"Say he'll be out in a minute."

"What did the boy do? Time will be up soon." Sin Lou grumbled as he glanced towards Bai Yan.

The boy did not speak at all while in the room, but his behavior still remained as he pleased himself. While Tan Bao only spoke as necessary, their relationship did not seem to improve even though it had been a week since the new student match.

Inside the room of his own martial door, Fu Chen curled up in front of the door with a feeling of indecision. No one noticed, no one cared, and no one realized, for he was alone in the room.

"I'm going to die?!"
