On one side stood a short-haired teenager in a pale sportswear outfit, looking about the same age as his own son. He appeared refined and scholarly, holding an archaic, crimson-hued longsword. The remaining three formed a united front, gazing grimly at their opponent—whether wary of the youth himself or the sword in his hand, none could say.
The sword-wielding youth cupped his fist over his blade and saluted. "I am Tang Lin, style name Yusheng, from the Tang Sect of Shu. The sword in my hand is called Wenshui."
