Valley of a Hundred Swords

Fang An and Xiao Chen's journey after leaving the inn had practically no problems. Other than a few beasts or people trying to rob them, the two of them continued on their way until they arrived at the Valley of the Hundred Swords.

"Chen'er, that place will be your new home." Fang An pointed at the Valley of the Hundred Swords that was visible in the distance.

Xiao Chen smiled broadly, the scene in front of him carried so many memories.

"This life time, I will not let the Valley of the Hundred Swords perish again…" Xiao Chen resolved in his heart as he clenched his fists tightly.

Even though it was called the Valley of the Hundred Swords, it was actually the size of a large city. The difference is that this city was built on lowland which was once a large valley. As the Valley of the Hundred Swords developed for hundreds of years, their buildings continued to expand until they finally formed a city.

"Senior Fang!"

"Ah! Junior Fang!"

As Fang An and Xiao Chen walked closer to the entrance of the Valley of the Hundred Swords, dozens of uniformly dressed girls with Fang An became enthusiastic upon seeing Fang An's arrival.

Xiao Chen could see Fang An's body standing beside him tremble momentarily as he saw the girls running towards the two.

"Senior Fang, Why do you always wear a mask? Let me see your face."

"Junior Fang, you must be tired, I have a bottle of water taken from the snow flower waterfall, drink it…"

"Brother Fang, were you injured on the mission? I have a good ointment for external wounds."

Every time the girls tried to get Fang An's attention and give him something, Xiao Chen took a few steps back for fear of being stepped on by these girls.

Xiao Chen only smiled awkwardly as he watched Fang An hassle the girls. Fang An, who was known as the Jade Face Swordsman, was because he had such a handsome face. The beauty of Fang An's face is said to be able to make any girl's heart flutter when he sees her.

From a young age, Fang An received special treatment from the female disciples, and even the female elders in the Valley of the Hundred Swords tried to pamper him. This made Fang An hated by many male students, plus Fang An was so talented in martial arts.

Xiao Chen knew the reason Fang An had received a serious injury from a sparring several years ago that led to his current condition was due to a female problem with his martial sister.

The problem is that Fang An has never been interested in the relationship between men and women, more precisely because the treatment Fang An received since childhood by the girls around him made Fang An a little afraid of women which eventually caused Fang An to always wear a mask.

Not many outsiders of the Valley of the Hundred Swords had ever seen Fang An's face, but they heard that he did have a dazzling look.

It was thanks to his face that all the unmarried girls in the Valley of the Hundred Swords refused to regard Fang An as an Elder even though Fang An held the position of Sword Elder three years ago. According to the girls, addressing Fang An as Elder meant giving up hope of ever becoming Fang An's life partner.

Xiao Chen chuckled as he remembered that in his previous life, every time Fang An had a birthday, a mountain of gifts would be sent to their residence.

"Sisters, I'm sorry but I can't talk to you for long…" Fang An slowly stepped back and held Xiao Chen's head.

It was only when Fang An did that that the women noticed Xiao Chen, the little boy they didn't know before. Xiao Chen could feel the cold gazes from all of the girls, some even gave off a murderous aura.

Xiao Chen recalled the first time he came to the Valley of the Hundred Swords, he also received the same treatment but at that time he didn't understand what was happening so he could only cry. Xiao Chen quickly introduced himself, "Disciple Master Fang, Xiao Chen pays respects to the Sisters."

When they heard Xiao Chen introduce himself as a disciple, all the girls' attitudes changed immediately.

"Oh, Junior Fang finally has a disciple…"

"Oh, sweetie, what was your name just now? Chen'er, right?"

"Chen'er, you can call me Aunt Master Ling, I am someone close to your master…" a girl handed Xiao Chen a handkerchief.

"What do you mean Sister Ling?!" one of the girls interrupted the girl surnamed Ling's words.

Xiao Chen scratched his head, in a moment the girls' attention was on him. All of these girls had the same thought, Xiao Chen was a golden opportunity to get close to Fang An.

These girls were trying to coddle Xiao Chen but before they could go too far, Fang An grabbed Xiao Chen and brought him into the sect. This kind of situation made Fang An prefer to be outside the sect doing missions.

"Chen'er are you alright?" When the two had reached a fairly quiet place, Fang An immediately checked Xiao Chen's condition, worried that Xiao Chen would suffer the same trauma as himself.

"This disciple are fine Master, they are all good." Xiao Chen smiled broadly.

Fang An opened his mouth but said nothing, he then led Xiao Chen to a Pavilion not far from the entrance. Along the way, there were more girls trying to get close to Fang An but seeing Fang An in a rush made them reluctant to approach him.

Not a few youths under the age of 16 also saluted and addressed Fang An as Elder.

"This place is called Young Sword Pavilion, where all members of the sect take on missions as well as carry out various administrative activities." Fang An explained.

Xiao Chen of course already knew that, he had worked in administration for several years in his previous life because he didn't want to practice martial arts. Fang An said he wanted to register Xiao Chen as his disciple as well as make an ID for Xiao Chen.

The Young Swords Pavilion was indeed one of the most crowded places in the Valley of the Hundred Swords. Fang An and Xiao Chen attracted quite a number of people's attention when they entered the venue.

All the attention was only natural considering that Fang An was the youngest Sword Elder in history, having assumed the position at the age of 19. Due to frequently carrying out missions outside the sect after becoming a Sword Elder, it was quite rare for someone to see Fang An.

Fang An led Xiao Chen to one of the administration desks which was empty. Xiao Chen did not expect to see such a familiar face.

A woman who looked the same age as Fang An was busy writing at the table. When she noticed Fang An's arrival, she immediately smiled warmly and greeted the two.

"Your Elder Fang has returned and it seems you are not alone, who is this little brother?" the woman looked at Xiao Chen lovingly.
