The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 133 - Imperial Pillar
'Hee... Why is the aura here so gripping...' Xin Fai scratched his head awkwardly when the gazes of the warriors were seen cursing, Miss Xiu the Moon Goddess is the longing of the male swordsmen because the face of this girl is the same as her nickname. They certainly could not bear to see Xiu Juan crying like this.
Not knowing what to do to appease Xiu Juan, Xin Fai could only say quietly.
"I don't want you to spend your life just for this..."
"My life has always been full of regrets, at least I want to keep my promise so that there are no regrets in the future."
"If you want to keep it, you must fight without resorting to forbidden moves that endanger yourself. Your mother wouldn't be happy if she knew you were doing this.."
Xiu Juan lowered his head slowly, his teeth twitching slightly with shaky shoulders. He was silent as if thinking hard.
"Actually besides that promise you have something else to do."
Hearing him Xiu Juan looked up, he waited for Xin Fai to speak.
"I intend to avenge the death of my entire family by destroying the black sect. Just like you, I just don't want any more regrets coming forward, you must understand what I mean, right?" xin Fai said with a small smile.
Hearing this, Xiu Juan could only ponder, his wet eyelids making him unable to see clearly. For a moment the girl got up until she finally retreated and completely left the arena of the match.
"I'm giving up."
Xin Fai had no idea what he was doing was right or wrong for winning this way, although not satisfied at all he also did not want a tough fighter like Xiu Juan to die young because of his actions today. On the other hand he did not want to budge, because in addition to the promise to his father, Xin Fai had also promised Zhishu Yan before leaving Peiyu village.
"Thank you Miss Xiu."
"I should be the one to thank you for worrying about me."
A small smile was plastered on Xiu Juan's face, Xin Fai to the point of choking on his own breath. He tried to shift his mind.
"Maybe without you knowing your presence will require many people in the future. Don't waste your life like this again."
Xiu Juan nodded slowly, the two chains from his back came back and disappeared from sight. Seeing Xiu Juan had gone out of the arena boundary, Yang Guifei announced Xin Fai as the winner.
On the other seat a girl went berserk like she was about to eat two of her friends. She was the arrogant noble girl Ren Yuan, the times she was angry to see two people who were in the arena of the match.
"Cih, commoners! How dare he tease Miss Xiu!"
Zhuan Ang frowned but could not bear to ignore his beloved Miss. "Eh... I don't think he's flirting with anyone. You just look at him like a fool."
"Stop mocking him!"
"hee? Why did you defend him?"
"Hmph! Shut the fuck up before I rip your shitty face off!"
Zhuan Ang to the point of misrepresenting Ren Yuan's attitude, he chose silence but the girl still cursed indistinctly.
Zhuan Ang was getting lethargic, he felt a little disappointed at Ren Yuan's behavior. Perhaps the girl had not realized her own feelings yet but Zhuan Ang had no choice but to continue to be beside her.
In fact getting into the peak round of the Young Swordsman Tournament did not in the least make Lan An happy, he bit his fingernails while sighing a few times.
"Ouch... Against little sister herself, this is really not cool."
Lan An walked back and forth while thinking hard, out there many wanted to be in her position but Lan An still did not feel happy. When the door of the room opened, Xin Fai had just entered the room to recuperate.
"Sister An, why is your face so tangled?"
"See again, you'll know, right after this we'll fight?"
"So what's wrong with that?"
Lan An suddenly just let out a long breath, her eyes closed in lethargy. "You really don't think. What would happen if the world's best brothers like us had to fight?"
Xin Fai almost laughed at Lan An but chose to turn her face away, she replied afterwards.
"It's just a game and it won't keep us as far apart as you think."
Although Xin Fai's words were true yet Lan An couldn't think so, against little sister herself she couldn't bear it because to her Xin Fai was the brother she had to protect.
As usual there was a thirty-minute pause to let the participants rest, the audience enjoyed the dance offerings and performances of the White Mist Valley enthusiastically.
While watching the show Li Yong felt impatient wanting to immediately return to the Lotus Temple to convey this good news to Tao Wei. At least after this either losing or winning Xin Fai had managed to become one of the three Pillars of the Empire. This will be the best news they have ever heard in the last few years.
In the Imperial Pillar itself each period of positions one through three would be filled by the winner of the Young Swordsman Tournament, after this Yong Tao who sat on the number one seat had to shift and let the younger generation take the seat. The next rank he could obtain by measuring his actions and participation in defending the Shang Empire from the attacks of the black flow group.
Tao Wei himself who was already dusk was still maintained in the Imperial Pillar as the tenth rank because he was a very meritorious person when the all-out battle that had taken the life of the number two person in the The Shang Empire, he himself received serious injuries from the battle and chose to rest in the Lotus Temple without much intervening again in the fight.
The entertainment on the arena just went so far that thirty minutes was short. The dancers descended from the arena and changed with the ascension of the number 8 Imperial Pillar Yang Guifei.
"Finally we arrive at the top of the much-anticipated Young Swordsman Tournament! These two participants will fight each other for the next number one title in the Shang Empire!"
Applause raged all over, they were more excited than ever. Yang Guifei folded both hands backwards as usual, he continued back.
"The next two heroes are Xin Fai and Lan An, now, greet them with a standing ovation!"
Along with Yang Guifei letting the two people he meant, Lan An and Xin Fai went up the stage with a big smile.
The presence of the two became a special attraction for the audience, both Lan An and Xin Fai had their own impressions as they would become the next great figures in the Empire.
"The child of the Demon Lord Water Conqueror will fight Lan An the White Dragon of the Thousand Feet Army! This fight will be very thrilling" a warrior cheered so vigorously, the people beside him looked worried when they heard the sound of the old swordsman's bones sounding loud.
"Hey, calm down, old man... Your bones almost dislodged all that."
"Whisper!"
