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 night


    when rushing out to relieve oneself, it would be considered a normal


    urrence.

    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 could


    mount 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!” eximed Caden and Devon.


    Although Alexander was not a member of Sword King Sect, and even held a grudge against Heavenly


    Sword King, he had promised to protect the Sect. Consequently, the people of Sword King Sect


    sincerely regarded him as their guardian.


    When Ruben and his twopanions 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, his


    gaze fixed on the distant horizon.


    Ruben quickly gathered his wits, whispering to Emrys at his side, “Mr. Griffins, the esteemed figure


    before us is Old Mr. Youngblood. Hurry and pay your respects to Old Mr. Youngblood.”


    Emrys was left speechless, breaking into incredulousughter.


    After some thought, he heeded Ruben’s advice and spoke to Alexander. “I’m Tigger, and I’m honored to


    meet you, Old Mr. Youngblood!”


    Only then did Alexander slowly turn around. His profound gaze briefly assessed Emrys, and then he


    solemnly 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 merely


    acting out of my principle to show respect for my elders when I greeted you. It was nothing more than


    common 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 you


    as his sessor. 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 nced subtly at Ruben, then continued to speak. “I’m not afraid to tell you, the reason I


    stayed here to guard Sword King Sect is because I lost to Talon in the past. I stayed true to my


    promise, 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 he


    was defeated, they hadn’t really considered it. After all, defeat simply meant ack of strength. What


    other reason could there be?


    Alexander exined in a low, solemn voice, “That’s because most of the sword techniques I’ve


    mastered 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, Ipeted with him using ordinary swordy,


    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 no


    chance against him.


    Ruben, an ardent admirer of Heavenly Sword King, was naturally displeased upon hearing those


    words. Back then, it was you who willingly challenged Heavenly Sword King, wasn’t it? Would you hold


    back your true strength? And then, you willingly chose to stay here to guard the Sword King Sect? Are


    you kidding me? In other words, since Heavenly Sword King isn’t here, you can say whatever you


    want, 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 mncholy. He reminisced, “In truth, I


    deeply 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!”
