The Legend of Sunset

Another dusk. The sun sinks in the west, its light fading as darkness grows. Who knows where it will rise again, in some unknown corner of the world? At eighteen, Dugu Xuetian defeated the seventh-ranked martial arts master, Biluo, and became famous throughout the land. After Bai Xiujiang died, he rose to become one of the six greatest masters in the martial world. With the progress he had made in recent years, few could hope to surpass him. Especially not a nameless swordsman like Lin Han. In other words, he had no need for a bodyguard. Lin Han had once wondered if perhaps every powerful person had something they feared. That was what he thought... Lin Han belonged to Dugu Xuetian. He was his bodyguard. A bodyguard who rarely spoke in front of others. Dugu Xuetian said, "Lin Han, do you know why I kept you as my only follower? Because you never lie." Lin Han wasn't surprised. With his eyes lowered, he knelt on one knee. "The City Lord dislikes hearing lies." "You know me well?" Dugu Xuetian narrowed his eyes, a hint of murderous intent showing in their long, thin slits. "No one likes hearing lies." "There are many kinds of lies." "None of them are true." "Lin Han, rumors have been spreading through the martial world lately that I covet the City Lord's position and secretly killed the entire Bai family. Do you think so too?" "I did suspect you..." Lin Han paused. "The method used to slaughter the Bai family was very similar to your sword style. Though a great fire destroyed all the evidence after the massacre, some people say it was your Snow Blanketing the Sky." "Oh?" Favorite this story ★~Click here to add it to your favorites~★ Theme:
