The scholar wanted to move forward, but the sword in the female warrior's hand suddenly trembled.
The scholar hesitated for a moment and stopped.
The drunkard watched this scene and, unusually, did not speak again, as if the endless commentary earlier wasn't from him.
The female warrior held her sword and saluted,
and said to the Sword Saint:
"Sir, the sword is an instrument of righteousness and shines brightly; why conceal it?"
The Sword Saint ignored her and continued eating.
Lord Zheng couldn't be bothered with Zheng Fanli, and naturally, the Sword Saint wasn't inclined to chat with a little girl on the road wielding a sword.
The female warrior still pressed on,
and said:
"Sir, all swords under heaven have their luster. Now, you wrap it with something so its brilliance can't shine. Have you not heard the lament of the sword?"
The Sword Saint continued eating and picked up a serving of food with his chopsticks.
