The crowd looked at Chu Nan with eyes full of admiration. Being able to seriously injure Lu Qing with a single sword stroke definitely made him a strong contender among the Outer Sect Disciples.
After recovering from some of his injuries, Lin An gave a thumbs-up and said, "Chu Nan, though I suspected Lu Qing wasn't your match, I didn't expect you to defeat him in just three moves."
Chu Nan humbly said, "It was just luck."
With that, he handed the Xiaoquan Sword to Gu Nianxue and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. Without this sword, I don't think it would have been that easy to defeat Lu Qing."
After receiving and putting away the Xiaoquan Sword, Gu Nianxue spoke with a grateful tone, "Thanks to you both, I could get rid of Lu Qing today. Would you be willing to come to my courtyard, where I will personally cook to express my gratitude?"
Gu Nianxue spoke with utmost sincerity, without a trace of deceit.
