"I never expected that you would actually reach the Realm of Tenth Rank Great Swordsmen," Xia Youchen said to Mu Hanyan, his tone filled with a sense of wonder.
"You flatter me." Lady Mu, after all, was once a Sword Saint level expert. Although her fame couldn't compare to Xia Youchen's (strictly speaking, she barely had any fame before she met her untimely demise), her mentality was different. Facing Xia Youchen, she didn't exhibit the reverence shown by others and responded calmly.
Yet, inside, she found it a bit strange. Is it so surprising that I have such strength? If we're talking about natural talent, yours shouldn't have been any worse than mine. You were once seen as the rising hope of Chenxing Academy. What's there to be sentimental about?
"As long as you behave, I can offer you a way out," Xia Youchen stated bluntly.
