บท 1985: Meeting the Sect Leader

"Third Elder, I dare not lie to you. It's truly my earnest wish to learn the saber. The Way of the Saber crushes everything in its path with overwhelming might, and I find it extremely fitting of my personality and temperament…" Seeing the slight doubt in the other party's eyes, Zhang Xuan quickly added on with an earnest look on his face.

The agile sword and the forceful saber; it was a conventional notion that it was impossible for a man to master both weaponry together.

Since the other party was intent on making him learn swordsmanship, there was no better excuse than to claim that his true passion lay in the Way of the Saber… It was not as if he was a disciple of the sect, so it didn't contravene the rules of the sect.

As long as he could show that he was skilled in the Way of the Saber, he should be able to convince the other party to give up on the notion of taking him in as his student.
