Xu Yan had returned.
Carrying a large bundle on his back.
"Master, I have returned!"
Xu Yan set down the bundle and respectfully bowed.
"Good, good, it's good that you're back!"
Li Xuan nodded.
"Come, this is your junior brother Meng Chong, and this is your senior brother Xu Yan!"
Li Xuan called Meng Chong over.
"Meng Chong greets Senior Brother!"
Meng Chong bowed respectfully.
"You're too polite, Junior Brother!"
Xu Yan returned the bow, feeling somewhat astonished inside. The master had actually taken on another disciple!
"Junior Brother, this is a gift from your senior brother!"
Since he now had a junior brother, he, as the eldest disciple, should also make an appropriate gesture.
Out of the bundle, Xu Yan produced a large saber.
"This... Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Meng Chong, touching his bald head, awkwardly accepted the heavy saber.
It was significantly heavy upon gripping; he drew the saber slightly and was immediately filled with surprise and delight.
