Swordsman Without a Name

Sun Poan the Swordsman of Flying Knives

Cakra Buana was stunned by the answer. But inevitably he had to admit it.

"Even if I am blind, I can see everything around me in my own way. In any case, everyone has their own way,"

"Now I understand,"

Li Guan or the Blind One Who Knows Everything again continued, "I don't spare even though my eyes are blind. I'm not sad, let alone sorry. On the contrary, I grieve for those whose eyes are normal but who do not see all the circumstances around them,"

"You mean?" tanya Cakra Buana began to be astonished.

"Well, I'm sad and sorry if there's someone whose eyes are normal, but he's blind. He didn't see the circumstances around him, he didn't pay attention around him. Maybe around them many people need help. Expecting his hand. But they don't care about it. Isn't this just like a blind man?"

Cakra Buana was shocked again. He liked this Li Guan even more, his every remark was so profound.

"Right, now I realize. Blind outer eyes can still be forgiven, but blind eyes of the heart are not worth forgiving,"

"really. That's why I'm never sad or moody. Precisely with this blindness of mine, I am grateful to this (palate), because of this blindness I became more aware of many things,"

"You're right again" replied Cakra Buana speechless.

What should he say again? The young man was embarrassed. He secretly asked his own heart, had he been as blind as what Li Guan had mentioned?

He can't answer it. Because the question basically doesn't need an answer. It just needs awareness.

Cakra Buana actually wanted to ask if he came from a famous family or a swordsman family? But he did not say those words. Especially just getting to know now. This clearly indicates that he is very disrespectful.

"How old are you really?" ask the young man of Tanah Pasundan.

"Last month, I was twenty-five years old" replied the Blind One Who Knows Everything.

Cakra Buana was shocked. He was very, very surprised. Almost the wine cup in his hand fell so surprised.

"Do you really mean it?"

"Why am I lying to you? Not bring in the slightest profit. After all, I'm not the type of liar. If it wasn't for some circumstance, I wouldn't have lied,"

"Then, you're just a little different from me" he said, exclaiming.

"I know,"

"How did you know?"

"Seeing from your sometimes fiery words. Normally, someone as old as you, he'd be so fiery to speak,"

The young man was stunned. So far, I don't know how long he's been going through the same thing because of Li Guan.

"If you're as old as I am, why are you this old? Even you look like an old man, do you go back to a young age?" ask her while laughing.

The two again sipped the wine cup before continuing their conversation.

"Because I've experienced all kinds of suffering in life. I'm having difficulties that normal people would never feel. Usually, the more a person often has difficulties in life, the more quickly he matures. Faster than people his age. So do I. With my blindness, I can get a lot of life lessons,"

"What you haven't experienced, I've experienced. Although the age of humans is the same, but the way of life is always different," said Li Guan continued.

"Yet you're right. I never thought there was a blind man like you,"

"Because my blindness is not like the blindness of a normal person. Me and them are very different,"

"Obviously different. You're not them, they're not you. You are Li Guan. The Blind Who Knows Everything" said Cakra Buana.

He truly paid respect to this Li Guan. To him, he was truly an extraordinary person. Not many foreigners are immediately willing to give life lessons to him when he first met.

"Thank you. Do you want to be friends with me?" li Guan asked suddenly.

A friendship? Who wouldn't want to be friends with someone like him? Anyone would want to. Only a fool would refuse. It should have been him, not Li Guan.

"Very wanted. Being friendly with someone like you, is something very lucky,"

"But I'm blind,"

"Cakra Buana the Nameless Swordsman, you deserve that title. Your actions really resembled the original owner of the title," Li Guan said then sipped a cup of wine.

Cakra Buana was astonished for the umpteenth time. As he remembered, he had not introduced himself. Never even told him, be it the name, title, or who the owner of the title really is.

"How do you know about me?"

"Because I'm the Blind Who Knows Everything" he replied with a proud smile.

"You're right. Looks like I have to respect it with five cups of wine,"

Without saying much more, the Nameless Swordsman immediately drank five cups of wine. Then eat the two pieces of meat that are there.

"Can you have a light?"

"No, but I can science lighten the body. Although it is not considered perfect, but it may not lose to you either,"

"How could there be someone who could science lighten the body but could not science the rays?"

"Of course it's possible. Very likely even. And I'm one example,"

Cakra Buana is getting confused. Arguing with him would never be able to win. Let alone him who was a man, even if it was a woman, they also never expected to win an argument from Li Guan.

"Are you really the Blind Who Knows Everything?"

"Certainly,"

"That means your knowledge is vast?"

"Maybe yes, maybe not. Who judge others,"

"Hmm, may I ask you something?"

"It's very possible,"

"Do you know who owns this thing?" asked Cakra Buana while showing three flying knives that he had brought from Eng Kiau, the servant who had poisoned him.

"It was a weapon belonging to the Flying Knife Swordsman. He always carried dozens or even hundreds of similar blades within him. Every body holds that thing,"

"Is he a great swordsman?"

"Greater than you can imagine. As long as he wandered in the martial world, he had never thrown his knife in the slightest. Even if he threw a knife while closing his eyes, he still wouldn't be mistaken for a target,"

"Truly amazing,"

"He's amazing, though,"

"What's his name?"

"Sun Poan the Flying Knife Swordsman,"

"Is he middle class?"

"really. He's a middle-class swordsman, why?"

"He killed a woman I was interrogating. He threw these three knives right into his back and hit the heart,"

"No way, he never kills for no reason,"

"But I saw it for myself. And you also told yourself that this was his weapon,"

"Indeed right. But I can't believe he did it without a reason enough. Every time he kills, there must be a compelling reason,"

"Aihh, it seems like the problem that happened to me this time is very mysterious and difficult to solve,"

"Exactly. It is, but you don't worry. I'll help you, because I'm your best friend" he said with a gentle smile.
