"How did we get here?
Why did the people of the Purple Sword Sect call you 'master'?
Who on earth are you?"
Maple asked, her questions bombarding Austin.
"Maple, he is dangerous! We should stay away from him!"
her brother said, putting himself between Maple and Austin, his grip tightening on his sword as he glared at Austin.
"It doesn't matter who I am.
Your clan is in trouble and
I can help you get through this,"
Austin said, smiling faintly.
"What? Are you...
Are you saying you can help us?"
Maple and her brother were dumbfounded, disbelief written large on their faces.
"Our enemy is the Purple Sword Sect. Do you know who they are?
How do you think you are going to help us?
Do you think you can handle the Purple Sword Sect?
Okay, hold on! Let me guess. You are probably from a powerful force.
But only the Sky Sword Sect, the Xi'men Clan, the Flying Immortal Sword Sect, and the Long Sword Sect can defeat the Purple Sword Sect!
What's more, the Purple Sword Sect has sided with the Long Sword Sect for a long time now.
You can't help us!
Don't talk big when you can't do anything."
Maple ended her monologue with a sigh.
"Maple, we can't trust him. We don't even know him. Let's get out of here,"
the young man voiced out his thought.
"The Purple Sword Sect is nothing.
I'm not even afraid of the Long Sword Sect!
Let me put it this way. Now that you've met me, your clan is destined to survive all of this.
I can help you if you can find it in yourself to trust me,"
Austin said, flashing them a mysterious smile.
"Well..."
Maple looked Austin in the eye. She could tell that he was confident as he offered his help.
Despite this, she was not sure if this stranger could help her clan fight the Purple Sword Sect.
"Look, Maple! There's no point talking to him. You're just wasting time here!
We should leave right now!"
the young man said to his sister urgently.
But Maple hesitated, her eyes not leaving Austin.
"Even if you can do something about the Purple Sword Sect, why do you want to help us?"
Maple asked, biting down on her lower lip.
"Because I am also a Lin,"
Austin said, a cautious, friendly smile creeping up on his lips.
"Plus, I have issues with the Long Sword Sect. The members of the Purple Sword Sect bully the weak and I don't like the way they deal with things. Which is why I want to teach them a lesson.
I will also settle scores with the Long Sword Sect soon,"
Austin said calmly.
"What are you saying?
Are you planning to come to the Long Sword Sect? Do you realize what that means?" Maple exclaimed.
Both she and her brother were shocked at Austin's statement.
The Long Sword Sect was one of the most powerful forces in the Sword Cosmos.
They couldn't believe that someone, a young man at that, had the guts to provoke the Long Sword Sect.
"Maple, you heard what he said. He's not in his senses.
Don't trust him!
We should get out of here as soon as possible!"
The young man looked at Austin, his eyes full of distrust.
"How can you talk like this? How can you be so confident?"
Maple stared at Austin in disbelief, convinced that he was lying.
But she could feel the mystery radiating off the young man before her.
He appeared to be self-confident, which increased his attractiveness multifold.
