Translator: TYZ Editor: Lis

Crunching noises spilled out of Fatty’s nawed on the malt candy The day’s austere chilliness was chased away in the dusky afterglow that spilled over the vast land, the incoentle as a feather Ai Hui wondered if he would remember this day in the future

"Have you decided?" Fatty asked doubtfully

"I have decided," Ai Hui replied He had long er any hesitation

Fatty sighed with some envy He then commented, "You don’t lose out to those wirace toand killing Let’s take this o back, and live happily for the rest of our lives Do you kno many people enter the Wilderness? Two thousand! And only the two of us survived! This money is the price of our lives! If I die, et the money If you die…"

"That’s why I’m still alive," Ai Hui interrupted Fatty, who had stood up to speak with increasing agitation Slowly, Fatty lost his distraught expression and calmed down

The opportunity to enter the Avalon of Five Elements did not come easily Initially, due to Ai Hui’s inadequate natural abilities, he hadn’t been qualified to enter However, in the last three years, his performance had been exemplary His ability to maintain composure in coe and determination at crucial moments left an indelible impression in everyone’s minds

When he made the request to enter the Avalon of Five Eleave their approval after consideration

Out of the two thousand laborers, only two survived Even if it was largely due to luck, it also illustrated theproblems

Fatty sat down, disappointed He was too familiar with Ai Hui’s stubbornness Soon after, however, he came to a realization and perked up once more to sincerely say, "Remember to write my name on the compensation payment form Why benefit others when you can benefit me?"

Ai Hui did not bother to care about hiround, put it in his mouth, and pillowed his head with his hands as he stretched out, content on the ground For the past three years in the Wilderness, his mental state had been stretched to the li It was an ice-cold world where darkness and scarlet ether

He didn’t kno he had endured those three years, and he did not want to remember it either After all, there were no happysun shone on his body Feeling war, Ai Hui’s eyebrows naturally unfolded while his steely face gradually relaxed into a state of tranquility

It was so comfortable!

As Ai Hui’s sun-warh a restrictive fog had been lifted from his ht and the slightly invigorating breeze contained an uncanny quality that stirred up strange yet familiar memories from deep within his mind The three years… no, not the ones he spent in the Wilderness The three years before that, the sunlight and breeze in the swordsman school had felt just like this

…

In those days, before the sun had even risen, he would have gulped in a breath of cold air, ready to start cleaning the school that had been re down the entire floor, his body would be war wooden shelves Each plank had been collected from the nearby streets and were of different sizes and thickness As such, one could not coether

After constructing the wooden shelves, he began to arrange the swordplay manuals the owner had obtained recently

One yuan could buy ten kilograms of manuals on the market Paperbacks were cheap—but still more valuable than baold covers were a bit h there was a lot of work to be done, there was no one to rush hi He was able to leisurely flip through and peruse the manuals

Occasionally, he fantasized about hoell-off he would be if he were to live in the Cultivation Era He would have sold swordplaythe swordplayswords and treasure swords

At this point, the sun would have risen Just like now, it would be warm and cozy The corners of Ai Hui’s h the flying daggers and treasured swords had lost their Spiritual Force and were just a bunch of unlit scrap ht, the beauty of their antiquity would often captivate Ai Hui

Flying swords represented the apex of the Cultivation World For generations, the flying swords had been the favourite weapon of master blacksmiths There were all kinds of oddities, and they existed in various shapes and sizes, there were all kinds of oddities Some of the shapes were so weird that people could not even associate the swords

He did not dare to touch those that had rusted too ain

There was no salary for him, but all his meals were provided To soabond for the last ten years like hiht now He could not any better words to describe it

The oas a goodbusiness was not as good

Would a successful businessman run a swordsman school?
