Xian Yin revealed what appeared to be a smile and said, “I think in this thousand years’ time, I may be the first person to have laid my eyes upon both the sword hilt and sword blade.”
“I believe that’s true,” said Chen Xiaolian as he nodded his head. “Your ancestors were only able to see the sword blade. You, on the other hand, were able to see both.”
He looked into Xian Yin’s eyes and said, “Now then… you may honour your words.”
Xian Yin nodded her head. “Mm, very well, I will not go back on my words. However… you should already know this but I do not have the sword blade on me. I can lead you people to it.”
“Where to? Your house?”
“Of course not.” Xian Yin smiled and said, “Something like that would naturally not be hidden in any treasure vault at my home. Those who ambushed me would most certainly have already searched through my home.”
“So, you hid it in a very safe place?”
