"You... how could you be..."
Even when his neck was grabbed, Chen Chenchen showed no intention of giving up. He clasped Blue Flame's arm tightly with both hands, his nails seeming to embed into the flesh.
But his voice sounded like that of a little boy about to cry.
"Because my hair is black? Because I'm older than the average Sword Concealer? Or is it..."
Blue Flame adjusted his glasses: "You don't actually know that the Hidden Sword Technique has a second training method?"
"Wha...what..."
"Yin, tell everyone outside not to worry; the banquet is still ongoing."
Blue Flame called out to Silver Ancient Moon, then looked at the Silver Blood Association members as if casually dining and chatting: "Everyone, do you understand the Hidden Sword Technique?"
"Absolutely," Le Yu quickly said, "I know the Hidden Sword Technique's nurturing, usage, and refinement like the back of my hand."
