The Brilliant Fighting Master

Sword Master City was famous in the Middle State. Its name told of how extraordinary it was. It was a dreamland for many swordsmen.

The city was full of young swordsmen carrying swords at their waists. Even their sheaths were of fine quality, both in terms of material and workmanship.

When two swordsmen met on the street and glanced at each other’s swords, one would feel lost, and the other would feel the opposite way.

This was one of the key features of the Sword Master City.

In addition, this spacious city had four city walls.

For people living in the city center, the city walls were too low to stop them from watching the sunrise or the sunset, but if they stood right beside the walls, they would find their view was blocked. Even if they looked up, they couldn’t see very far.

Besides the four city walls, there were many other high walls in the city. Crossing over each other, they formed many small cities within the city and smaller courtyards inside bigger courtyards, which was a very special thing to see.

The woman hadn’t expected this. She looked down, smiling embarrassedly.

She was actually a pretty charming woman if one looked at her carefully. Her eyebrows were skinny and curved, and she had a pair of big eyes.

Her skin was fair and smooth, like silk.

But Jiang Chen had no idea why she had been looking at him secretly.

Feng Wei had no idea, either. Jiang Chen was nothing special with his disguise. It was his attitude that had caught her attention.

He was acting very polite. His smile and tone made her feel comfortable, but after they sat down, she found his sickly looks and simple clothes a big contrast.

She had the impression that he might have been a young master from a bankrupted family that had once been powerful.

It occurred to Feng Wei that she hadn’t been very polite, so she looked up and said in a graceful manner, “Apprentice brother, are you waiting for someone?”

Her companions were surprised. They all looked towards Jiang Chen, then they seemed more surprised.

“No, I’m alone, waiting for the start of the general recruitment,” said Jiang Chen.

“My friend, are you going to take part in the competition, too?” a man sitting beside him asked in a casual manner while checking his sleeves.

Then it seemed he had found something interesting. He signaled for his companions to look.

Soon, all of them found Jiang Chen didn’t have any fight loops. They looked at him with disdain, except for Feng Wei.

“Ahem. Ahem.”

Noticing her companions’ impoliteness, Feng Wei coughed unhappily. When they had all quieted down, she said, “Good luck, apprentice brother. You don’t look like you’re from here. May I ask your name?”

“The good thing is that we’ve met. It doesn’t matter whether we know each other or not. Why bother?” Jiang Chen didn’t even bother to give them a false name. He just smiled gently.

“It doesn’t matter whether we know each other or not?” Feng Wei was struck dumb. She became even more interested in Jiang Chen.

It was the others who felt unhappy. They wondered whether Jiang Chen knew the Fengs’ status.

“Feng Wei, you’re here! I was looking for you.”

A voice came, unafraid of any possible disturbance that it could cause others. They heard majestic footsteps, under which the wooden floor of the second story was creaking.
