The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 268 - The Sea Edge
Xin Fai prepared to take out the sword in case this group of warriors would attack him, the existence of the Celestial Emperor Sword and the Demonic Human Sword that was in his hands often made the Sacred Sword Alliance experience a violent clash against the white and neutral party who wanted to snatch the two legendary swords from the her hands.
No one could snatch the two swords even though Xin Fai was off guard though, to keep them safe Xin Fai kept the two inside the space ring. And only use heirloom swords when meeting insignificant opponents.
The tall man in front of her commented on the warm smile. "Maybe you don't recognize me, understand. Besides, I'm sure it's not that important for you to remember."
"I'm sorry, can you tell me more clearly?"
"Before that can you order your men to lower their weapons?"
Xin Fai hinted with a hand, telling them to do what she wanted. Still in the big question mark, who is the man who now looks like this 50-year-old man, from his character it seems he is an important and powerful figure. It seemed that from the entourage he had brought them were not enemies.
The man walked with two hands in the back. "I'm Ho Shing. One of the elders from the East Wind Mountain sect," he said giving a hint of respect. Xin Fai then scanned the figure of the man in front of her for a long time, remembering the robe she was wearing she had seen before during the tournament. After all, Ho Shing's facial lines were very familiar.
When it finally recalled who this figure before him was Xin Fai instantly giving a salute. "Sorry for being disrespectful before, the members were too wary of fearing the enemy coming again to attack."
He never expected that the teachers from Ren Yuan, Gong Li and Zhuan Ang would meet him again like this. Given that their first meeting was not good enough, Xin Fai became somewhat disinclined at him.
"There's no need to be disinclined, I can take it." Ho Shing replied casually, he walked over as Xin Fai invited him to a sitting table. Enjoy the atmosphere on the serene seafront with the gusts of the night breeze.
Grilled fish dishes and wine accompanied the entourage from the East Wind Mountain sect, welcoming them in excitement. In recent years the East Wind Mountain sect became a large sect that had a great contribution in helping the Empire rise in a slump. This made Qin Minjie put his full trust in the sect.
It is undeniable that the presence of young generations such as Ren Yuan, Gong Li and Zhuan Ang in the sect added to drastic progress, when they were 15 years old all three were able to reach the level of a great swordsman. A pretty amazing achievement, Ho Shing's name as a teacher of three students was no less famous.
"So can you tell me directly the purpose of the East Wind Mountain sect envoy here?"
Ho Shing downed his drink, after which he spoke. "It just so happens that our group is around here, just last night Emperor Qin Minjie sent a message to escort the Sacred Sword Alliance back to the city, do you mind us delivering all of you?"
"We can go alone, I actually have no intention of rejecting it but moving in a larger entourage like it would be very troublesome. While the area around here is still very vulnerable, rather than escorting warriors like us it is better Senior helps those who are in trouble."
"The critical thinking... Just this time I saw someone like you." Ho Shing laughed a little as he recalled his past, he should have understood it from the beginning. Since the first time meeting Xin Fai was indeed different from most people. He has his own uniqueness.
"I've made sure the area around here is safe, we've been doing surveillance for a week and no enemies come here. After all the Holy Sword Alliance has been famous thanks to your hard work the past few years, sending us to escort you is also a form of Emperor Qin's respect for you."
"That's it..." Xin Fai leaned her head against the back of the chair, not knowing what to talk about with Ho Shing. He drifted away in his own daydream for a few minutes, until Ho Shing finally opened the chat.
Ho Shing glanced at him slowly. "One of our elders, he has appointed you directly to lead the war. I don't know why he did it, but I've known for decades that he's known as a good fortune teller."
"Grandmother Liang pointed at him isn't it obvious? The war will run perfectly if it is led by him" said someone from behind. The two turned to observe the figure of the young man who was busy weighing the apple in his hand. He chewed it fast.
Zhuan Ang embraced Xin Fai upon arrival there, "For so long without seeing you so much higher. Unfortunately your body is so much thinner." Xin Fai frowned strangely, just meeting the young man had already commented a lot.
"really? I don't want to be commented on by someone whose body is more squeaky than mine."
Zhuan Ang almost coughed at hearing that. "Well, now your eyes seem to be having problems. Are these muscles in my body invisible in your eyes?"
"What do you mean that meat fails to grow on your body?" Xin Fai was almost blown out loud if she did not remember there was still Ho Shing beside her.
Zhuan Ang glared as he elbowed her rather loudly. "You're still as annoying as you used to be, yeah."
Just about to continue his conversation with Ho Shing suddenly heard a deafening scream, the sound coming from the side. It seemed that they were the arrival of the rest of the East Wind Mountain sect entourage that was catching up from behind.
Xin Fai watched the girl whose face was quite beautiful, unfortunately her fierce face made anyone think twice about teasing her. She looked very strong and also beautiful at one time.
Ren Yuan stopped nagging as his gaze fell on Xin Fai, a tinge of red visible on his cheek for quite a while before he finally looked away, staring at Zhuan Ang still upset. "Hey stupid, where'd you take my apples?"
"Miss Ren is beautiful, I didn't say I didn't see her."
Xin Fai cursed, deliberately trapping Zhuan Ang. "But I saw you come here and eat an apple?"
"You're this–" Zhuan Ang's words were cut off, he watched Ren Yuan who was like he wanted to go berserk. From a distance Gong Li rubbed his throbbing temple, indeed the two friends always made a fuss.
Xin Fai looked satisfied to see Zhuan Ang being the victim of Ren Yuan's rampage, on the one hand he continued to pay attention to the girl, it seemed that Ren Yuan had been training very hard all this time. Can be seen from the bandage that wrapped both hands and also his posture that became more firm.
Ren Yuan realized someone was watching him, he looked back at Xin Fai but his expression was not friendly at all. Three seconds of being stared at with such a piercing gaze made Xin Fai could only smile clumsily. He did not understand what was wrong with him, felt he had never done evil to Ren Yuan, so what made the girl think of him as an enemy?
Ho Shing understood what the girl was going through, he let out a voice. "That day when you saved him from Mad Satan, do you still remember him?"
