"What should we do?"

 

Listening to Bai Changren's words, Bai Zhilan's face showed nervousness. "Will he think that we are not respectful enough?"

 

To begin with, we weren't respectful enough.

 

Bai Changren inwardly scoffed.

 

Letting the groom find out he is the groom last was quite a move.

 

But in front of Bai Zhilan, he naturally couldn't say that.

 

So he quietly suggested, "The problem should be fine. Brother Chen isn't a narrow-minded person."

 

"Perhaps we could send some gifts over and explain briefly."

 

Recalling Chen An's previous actions, Bai Changren hesitantly suggested.

 

"Gifts?"

 

Bai Zhilan's eyes lit up as she asked, "Do you know what he likes?"

 

She hit the nail on the head.

 

"Of course, it's eerie items."

 

Bai Changren thought to himself but didn't say it out loud.

 

After all, if he privately sent those things and given Bai Zhilan's situation, sending such items would likely cause a different reaction, and it wouldn't sound good if the rumors spread.

 

Eerie items were always mysterious.

 

Bai Changren only saw Chen An as someone who liked such things.

 

As for others, they probably wanted to avoid them at all costs.

 

Sending such items would make most people think you are cursing them.

 

It would transform gift-giving into creating grievances.

 

But if not eerie items, what other gifts would be suitable?

 

Bai Changren pondered.

 

Luckily, his mind worked fast, and he actually thought of a suitable gift.

 

"Wasn't Brother Chen's sword broken before?"

 

He spoke up and suggested, "Give him a precious sword. He'll surely be happy to receive it."

 

Martial artists all liked weapons.

 

And Bai Changren had seen Chen An's weapon before. It was just a common sword made by a local blacksmith, and although its quality was decent, it didn't compare to a real weapon.

 

Hence, it had been damaged a few times by Bai Chang Li before.

 

Bai Zhilan also remembered.

 

She had watched Chen An's sword being damaged by Bai Chang Li during their previous battle.

 

So after a moment of thought, she smiled and said, "Perfect."

 

"Hey, bring me Grandpa's sword. We'll send it over shortly."

 

She ordered, and someone immediately bowed and left to prepare it.

 

At that moment, Bai Changren suddenly felt something was off.

 

"Zhilan, the sword you just mentioned..."

 

Casually, he said, "It wouldn't be the silver sword that Grandpa often liked to play with, would it?"

 

Unconcerned, Bai Zhilan replied, "It's the one he's been playing with for a long time. He rarely uses it, so it's just right to give it away now."

 

Bai Changren's breath hitched.

 

He finally remembered.

 

The sword belonging to Bai Zhilan's grandfather was no ordinary sword.

 

It was acquired by Bai Ming Li from an external source and was said to have cost a considerable price.

 

The entire sword was mostly made of silver iron, making it extremely valuable. If someone were willing to sell it, there would surely be bidders willing to pay a hefty sum.

 

Bai Ming Li wasn't skilled in using swords, so he rarely used it and only played with it occasionally.

 

And now, Bai Zhilan had just given that sword away?

 

It was worth a hefty sum!

 

Thinking back, Bai Changren looked at Bai Zhilan's expression and felt a sudden complexity.

 

At that moment, he really wanted to ask Bai Zhilan if she had any sisters or something.

 

Although he was already married, he felt that with a wealthy woman like her, he could consider it.

 

Divorcing and remarrying wasn't out of the question, right?

 

Of course, he only dared to think about it in his heart; he wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

 

Otherwise, he might get a beating from his own father.

 

Time passed slowly.

 

Bai Zhilan's actions were quick, and considering the distance between her and Chen An wasn't too far, her gift was delivered to Chen An's hands quickly.

 

At the moment of receiving the gift, Chen An was a bit stunned.

 

But he was always weak against gifts, and since this was from Bai Zhilan, he had no reason to refuse.

 

At this moment, if he rejected this gift, it might lead to misunderstandings.

 

"Please thank your miss for me."

 

Taking the gift, he softly said to the people in front of him, requesting them to pass the message back.

 

Then, Chen An unpacked the gift and took out what was inside.

 

It was an extremely unique precious sword.

 

The sword was entirely white, with intricate patterns all over, making it exquisitely beautiful.

 

Just by looking at it, it seemed extraordinary.

 

"What a good sword."

 

Chen An couldn't help but exclaim.

 

Having been in this world for a short time, his ability to appreciate weapons wasn't particularly strong. He could only vaguely discern if it felt comfortable in his hand.

 

But the sword in front of him was different.

 

With just one glance, one could understand that it was a good sword.

 

This gift was just right, like a pillow under someone who's already nodding off.

 

Chen An's previous sword was already broken, with several flaws, so it couldn't be used anymore.

 

This new long sword was just right.

 

He reached out and held the sword, applying a gentle force to it.

 

As he channeled his inner energy, a continuous stream of internal energy poured onto the sword. The sword glowed with a faint silver light, shimmering brightly, looking exceptionally dazzling.

 

At that moment, Chen An realized something was wrong.

 

Martial artists had high demands for their weapons. Apart from the sharpness and sturdiness of the weapon itself, the transmission and utilization of internal energy were also important criteria.

 

Ordinary weapons in Chen An's hands clearly felt obstacles, with the transmission of internal energy not smooth.

 

But this silver long sword in front of him was different.

 

With just a slight movement from Chen An, the sword immediately responded, performing better than he had imagined.

 

Ignoring the other properties of the sword, just the efficiency of internal energy transmission far exceeded that of ordinary weapons.

 

Thinking this, Chen An had a hunch.

 

This sword must be very expensive, right?

 

He silently had this thought.

 

This was because he didn't know the true value of this sword. If he did, he probably wouldn't be so indifferent.

 

He might even think about selling it in the future.

 

But luckily, he didn't know.

 

After playing with it for a while, Chen An pondered for a moment and decided to keep the sword.

 

After all, it was a gift from Bai Zhilan, so it wouldn't be appropriate to return it.

 

Besides, he really liked the sword.

 

Compared to the weapons he had used before, this sword excelled in all aspects and left him very satisfied.

 

Since he was satisfied, he decided to keep it.

 

With this thought in mind, he turned and left, walking towards the outside world.

 

Calculating the days, his next competition was about to begin.

 

Soon, he arrived at the training ground.

 

The surroundings were full of people, and upon seeing Chen An's arrival, they all made way for him, giving him a path.
