The author's introduction actually said everything I wanted to write. It writes about the friendship and patriotism between brothers. It also describes the infatuation of a swordsman and the character of an emperor. It also writes about whether help between strangers must be beneficial? It also writes about whether young people in the world must be the best in the world? All in all, this is a very exciting and beautiful martial arts novel.
This is a very high-quality novel with frequent golden sentences and novel plot.
