Yes, Cao Erzhu wasn't an ancient swordsman, nor did he want to delay Elephant Dragon's destiny.
A sword and its sword-bearer should be a perfect match, not like a pearl hidden in dust.
When he learned that Elephant Dragon had been passed around multiple times and, after finally landing in his hands, still hadn't found its destined sword-bearer…
In his heart, he already had the perfect candidate in mind!
She was incredibly kind to him…
Her presence had accompanied him through half of his childhood…
Her comings and goings were so elusive that, back then, Cao Erzhu even suspected that the name she gave him might not be real—Nameless!
But oddly enough, she was also extraordinarily powerful, sharing the same essence as Elephant Dragon—One Grade!
"Reciprocity" was a concept Cao Erzhu didn't understand before he left Qingyuan Mountain; he thought being genuine was enough for friendship.
Looking back now, she and he had taught him so much, but he had taken it all for granted.
