21 Small Black House (2/2)

Young Li's smile grew brighter, and he began talking even more. ”Tsk tsk, eldest senior brother, you already received the beautiful title of Blue-robed Noble Sword User. I wonder whether I, Young Li, will have such a resounding and elegant name in the future too.”

Happy found himself rendered speechless. He had a stupefied and surprised expression on his face again.

Blue-robed Noble Sword User!

Was this going to be his nickname in the future?

Even though it made him sound like an outwardly attractive but worthless person and perhaps even like a wolf in sheep's clothing… it was still pretty good. It was simple and elegant.

He smiled in a self-deprecating manner. Happy did not say much to Young Li. He only listened quietly to him talk off the top of his head about Gusu City's situation.

Young Li attracted quite a lot of attention by walking beside the Blue-robed Noble Sword User, and his excitement could not be described with words. It was as if he wanted to achieve all his aspirations within his heart from that moment onwards.

When they reached the city gate, the two of them parted ways.

”Eldest Senior Brother Happy, if you have anything that needs to be done in the future, just give me a holler. I, Whirlwind Young Li, will definitely do a good job with whatever you ask of me, no matter how hard the task is!”

As he watched Young Li place his fist in his palm and step on the government-made road, Happy could not help but smile. He remembered himself when he had just joined World of Martial Arts. At that time, he was also like Young Li and spoke in the tone of the old wanderers who traveled the lands. He was filled with passion and enthusiasm, but later on…

When he remembered the regret he had when he missed the chance to fight against the other fifteen powerful martial artists in the Sword Among Us tournament in Mount Hua and how a certain someone set up that scheme at the foot of Shaoshi Mount, the smile on Happy's face gradually gained a hint of anguish and dejectedness.

One of those people was the person he had once loved the most.

The other was a person he had trusted.

But they made all the blood, sweat, and tears he paid over the three years end up in vain.

When he thought of this, Happy could not help but tighten his grip around the Noble Sword. His knuckles turned white, and he made an oath in his heart.

'I will definitely think of a way to reach the height I never managed to reach in my previous life, and I will stand at an even higher place compared to before!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

'The strongest group of people in the legend… just you wait!

'Three kings!

'Seven dukes!

'Thirteen aces!

'No matter who it is among you who set up that ambush at the foot of Shaoshi Mount, no matter who you are, even if you are a blessed child who inherited Nine Yin, Nine Yang, even if you are Dugu Qiubai's [1] disciple, and even if you are Sweeper Monk's [2] successor, I, Happy, will find you, regardless of how great your power is…

'I will fulfill the oath I swore before the Sword Among Us tournament at that time, and I will absolutely defeat all of you! I will make them sort out the ranks on the Heavenly Ranking Board of Ghost Valley Mystery Rank again!'

Translator's Note:

[1] Dugu Qiubai: a fictional character who is mentioned by name in three wuxia novels by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). He does not appear in any of the novels because he lived in an era long before the events of the novels took place. Nicknamed ”Sword Devil” to reflect his prowess and devotion to the practice of swordplay, he attains the philosophical level of ”swordsmanship without a sword”, which means that he uses swordplay techniques in combat without the physical existence of a sword.

[2] Sweeper Monk: a nameless monk of unknown origin in charge of maintaining the library of Shaolin. The monk is very, very powerful.
