"Thank you for the reminder."
He reversed his long sword, holding the hilt before his chest as a gesture of respect.
Bales nodded and then refused the pleas of others to stay, pushing through the crowd and leaving alone.
The others simply thought he was defeated in the process of teaching swordsmanship, feeling that he had lost face and did not want to stay any longer.
But only Chen Lun knew that it was because the body the Black Knight was using now had nearly collapsed after the intense battle.
He chose to leave quickly to avoid crumbling in full view of everyone.
"Oh, my Sun! Mr. Jack, you were fantastic!"
Xibert hurried forward, speaking excitedly.
Then he leaned closer, whispering:
"I just knew it! You did block the bullet with the cane, didn't you!"
His tone was so confident that no matter how Chen Lun explained, he took it as fact.
Chen Lun simply stopped explaining and handed back the sword, chuckling lightly:
"Thank you for your long sword, Mr. Xibert."
