Chapter 881 Meeting Alexander

If one were to stumble and fall early in the morning, still groggy from sleep, or in the middle of the nightwhen rushing out to relieve oneself, it would be considered a normal

occurrence.

However, it was precisely this kind of courtyard design that best embodied the aura of a

detached from the mundane world.

At that moment, Alexander stood on the edge of a steep cliff, his back to the mountain path all sage–like. His indigo cloth robe fluttered in the wind, his white hair dancing wildly. He looked as if he couldmount a crane and fly westward at any moment.

“Old Mr. Youngblood, I have brought up the inheritor of Sword King,” said Ruben,

“Greetings, Old Mr. Youngblood!” exclaimed Caden and Devon.

Although Alexander was not a member of Sword King Sect, and even held a grudge against HeavenlySword King, he had promised to protect the Sect. Consequently, the people of Sword King Sectsincerely regarded him as their guardian.

When Ruben and his two companions saw him, they showed him great respect.

Alexander didn’t speak, nor did he turn around. He simply stood quietly with his back to everyone, hisgaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Ruben quickly gathered his wits, whispering to Emrys at his side, “Mr. Griffins, the esteemed figurebefore us is Old Mr. Youngblood. Hurry and pay your respects to Old Mr. Youngblood.”

Emrys was left speechless, breaking into incredulous laughter.

After some thought, he heeded Ruben’s advice and spoke to Alexander. “I’m Tigger, and I’m honored tomeet you, Old Mr. Youngblood!”

Only then did Alexander slowly turn around. His profound gaze briefly assessed Emrys, and then hesolemnly said, “So, you are the inheritor of Heavenly Sword King. There’s no need for formalities.”

“Um…” Emrys was at a loss for words. I didn’t show you any formalities. Are you blind? I was merelyacting out of my principle to show respect for my elders when I greeted you. It was nothing more thancommon courtesy, but you sure do have a knack for reading into things!

At that moment, Alexander spoke again. “I watched your duel with Killian. No wonder Talon chose youas his successor. Your talent in swordsmanship is truly remarkable.”

Again, Emrys had nothing to say.

“Young man, I presume you’ve already figured out who I am?”

“On the way here, Mr. Ruben had already given me a rough idea,” replied Emrys.

Alexander glanced subtly at Ruben, then continued to speak. “I’m not afraid to tell you, the reason Istayed here to guard Sword King Sect is because I lost to Talon in the past. I stayed true to mypromise, and that’s why I remained here.”

When Emrys was taken aback, wondering why he was being told such things, Alexander spoke again.“Do you know why I was defeated?”

Emrys shook his head.

The trio of Ruben, standing off to the side, were equally curious.

Previously, they only knew that Alexander had been defeated by Heavenly Sword King. As for why hewas defeated, they hadn’t really considered it. After all, defeat simply meant a lack of strength. Whatother reason could there be?

Alexander explained in a low, solemn voice, “That’s because most of the sword techniques I’vemastered are lethal. Back then, Talon was a generation younger than me. I couldn’t bear to take his life,so I didn’t use my deadly sword techniques. Instead, I competed with him using ordinary swordplay,and that’s how I ended up losing to him.”

What he meant was that if he were to truly engage, Heavenly Sword King would absolutely stand nochance against him.

Ruben, an ardent admirer of Heavenly Sword King, was naturally displeased upon hearing thosewords. Back then, it was you who willingly challenged Heavenly Sword King, wasn’t it? Would you holdback your true strength? And then, you willingly chose to stay here to guard the Sword King Sect? Areyou kidding me? In other words, since Heavenly Sword King isn’t here, you can say whatever youwant, right?

Ruben felt a surge of defiance in his heart, yet he was at a loss for words.

Caden then said, “So that’s how it is. I always knew your swordsmanship was exceptional, Old Mr.Youngblood. It seemed impossible for you to be defeated so easily. It turns out you have a secret

technique you haven’t yet revealed. I’m truly impressed!”

Devon said, “I feel the same way!”

Alexander gave a slight nod, his face soon revealing a hint of melancholy. He reminisced, “In truth, Ideeply regret not giving it my all back then. Looking back now, it feels like a disrespect to Talon… Ah,it’s lonely being a master!”
