Supreme Emperor of Swords

The man was only 14 or 15 years old, tall and slender, with black hair like a waterfall, broad shoulders and narrow waist. As handsome as jade, he wore a thin green shirt, with a graceful face like a crown of jade and sword-shaped eyebrows. His corners of mouth were filled with a faint and cordial smile. He exuded a convincing charm of confidence unconsciously.

The woman was wearing a lavender cotton skirt and a lavender mantle, swaying with willowy motions like a blooming wintersweet alone in the cold. She was elegant and beautiful, quiet and gentle, with long blonde hair hanging out from the edge of the cloak, like silks and satins, reflecting sunlight, giving people a sacred aura that could not be profaned, and she was an almost unreal beauty.

“This is…”

In the crowd, Ye Chen, the young shopkeeper of Studio of Treasures, his eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly with a brush and instantly recognized the identity of the handsome young man.

Some of the other managers and counterjumpers, who were also worldly-wise persons, felt stunned when they saw the coming man. At the moment, they all stood up and recognized the identity of the young man.

No kidding, now in the low-level market, all people knew this young master.

…

In the entrance to the Heavenly World’s lobby.

“This is not the pleated steel sword that is sold in our store at all, and you… are simply unreasonable.” Linghu Yingying widened her eyes angrily.

“Bah, little girl, don’t talk so much nonsense. I personally bought this pleated steel sword from you yesterday, how can I wrong you?” A strong man sneered, looking ugly and ferocious with his beard like erecting steel needles.

“Yes, little girl, I saw with my own eyes yesterday that you sold this pleated steel sword to this brother. Do you still want to deny it?”

“This is the style how you Heavenly World is doing business? You are selling seconds at best quality prices. You are fooling customers. Heaven won’t tolerate you. Get out of the market!”

“Yes, a profiteer! Get out of the market!”

Behind the strong man were followed by dozens of the same hostile guys, they were fanning up the flames of the trouble. Some onlookers in the dark also mingled in the booing, and the excitement scene was artificially created, and as a result the situation was gradually in danger of out of control. People were crowding here.

“You… you are lying. We have never sold the sword. You…”

Tears of being wronged swirled in Linghu Yingying’s eyes.

Facing a group of unreasonable burly men, the weak girl was somewhat scared, but still gritted her teeth and explained to the people around her, “Don’t listen to them, everyone. We don’t sell this kind of pleated steel sword in Heavenly World. If you don’t believe me, you may go inside our shop to have a look.”

“Stinky bitch, you still have reason, haven’t you?” The brute flew into a rage. “I said I bought it here, and I should have bought it here.”

As soon as he turned around, grinning and shaking his arms, he shouted, “Brothers, bust this black shop for me. Bullshit Heavenly World! You dare to fool me, Sun Liang. If you don’t give me an explanation today, we will bust this black shop!”

…

“Mr. Tianshu, Brother Ding Hao asked us to buy things for the Academy. Now we have already bought them for you. Why don’t we go back?” Nizi and Huanhuan, two little girls followed the obscene old man Tianshu and looked at everything around with curious eyes.

Growing up in the slums district, it was the first time for them to come to such a prosperous market. The wonderful outside world made two girls open their eyes wider and they felt overwhelmed.

All this was brought by their Brother Ding Hao.

Without Ding Hao, they might had to live in the slums district forever, interacting with garbage every day. When they grew up, they would find a mediocre man to marry and become a tool for giving birth to childern, live a tight life, be always on tenterhooks and maltreated by others, and never have a chance to walk on the streets of such a clean and beautiful market once in their whole lives.

More importantly, Brother Ding Hao gave them the chance to change their fate.

“Hey hey, not very easy to come here. Why not have a good shopping? So, you, two girls, don’t like here?” Looking extremely obscene, Tianshu, with a pair of eyes sneaking the shops and stalls around, said with a happy smile.

“No, it’s beautiful, clean and crowded here. I like it very much.”

“Yes, even the air is fragrant here, not like the slums district, full of stink… Wow, there are a lot of funny things here!”

Huanhuan and Nizi showed envy in their eyes. They looked at people coming and going in clean and beautiful clothes and armor, but they, with patched coarse clothes, walked on the spacious and clean streets in the market like dreaming.

To them, compared with the slums district where they grew up from childhood, the market was like a clean and bright paradise.

“Since it is so good, why are you so anxious to get back?”

Nobody knew what the indecent old man Tianshu was thinking about. He led two little girls unhurriedly to wander between shops and stalls, looked aimless, and was completely killing time.

“Go back to practice martial arts.” The two little girls spoke in unison, “Brother Ding Hao said that we have got to suffer a lot if we want to be successful. We have to make tens of thousands of times more efforts than others in cultivation so that we could change our origins and destiny.”

“You are really brain-washed by the handsome young man Ding Hao. You are too deeply brain-washed.” Tianshu shook his head bitterly, “You worship him so much and regard every word he said as a divine decree, and you have been simply brainwashed!”

“Everything that Brother Ding Hao said was for our own good.” Huanhuan and Nizi both said the same thing. Between words, they did not hide the fanatical worship on their faces.

Tianshu felt speechless.

“All right, I’ll take you.” With a you-have-won expression, Tianshu gnashed his teeth and said, “Buy a few more things and we’ll go back. Don’t worry, it won’t delay your training time… Eh? There’s a lot of excitement over there. Hahahaha. Finally, we can join in. Let’s go and have a look!”

The indecent old man’s face glowed suddenly. Looking at the crowd gathering in Heavenly World, he pulled the two little girls to approach the crowd in a flush.

…

“What exact explanation do you… want to get?”

At the entrance to the lobby of Heavenly World.

Linghu Yingying saw that the situation was deteriorating and more and more people in the dark were coming here. The people gathered around and the atmosphere was incited to become irritable. She could only choose to calm down and wipe away the tears of being wronged at the corner of her eyes. She asked, gritting her teeth.

At this moment, the girl with a soft, tender and weak look made people feel pity for her, but she showed her tough personality. In the flashing tears, she seemed to be the grass that had steadfastly straightened its body in the storm.
