After thinking about that possibility, Chen Xiaolian was no longer able to shake it off.
He carefully scrutinized the combat blade in his hand.
The edge of the blade was sharp and a faint pattern could be seen on the surface of the blade. The long blade was somewhat shorter compared to that of a samurai’s. However, it was wider. Its hilt was also longer and the blade can be held with one hand or both hands.
As Chen Xiaolian was preoccupied with his inspection of the blade, Skyblade’s impatient voice interrupted him. “Just what are you waiting for?”
“… err.” Chen Xiaolian hesitated for a moment. In the end, he chose not to reveal that fact. He whispered in a vague tone, “The, the thing on the wall had disappeared. Going there now is pointless.”
Skyblade grunted with discontent. “Put me down then!”
Chen Xiaolian used both hands to carefully place the blade on the floor. Then, he sat down.
“We need to have a proper talk.” Chen Xiaolian tested the waters.
