Lu Zhiju raised his sword, stepping forward: "No need, since Brother Shao has invited me, I cannot leave him unattended."
Those eager to try their skills suddenly sat back down quietly.
The competitive tension was immediately apparent; Lu Zhiju could stand in the second position, but how would he show off upon entering?
Perhaps people would notice the second person who stood up, but now everyone would certainly look at him.
Lu Zhiju was recently ranked 343rd, but those familiar with the Southwest Sword Affairs knew he hadn't shown up in three years. Since his Feather Scale Test three years ago where he ranked 220th, his rank had been steadily declining.
Clearly different in essence from Shao Xiuyuan, who was recently ranked 313th after displaying his skills at the Sword Assembly.
Shao Xiuyuan lightly pressed his lips but maintained his graceful demeanor, slightly extending his hand: "... Brother Lu can be considered half a mentor, please enlighten me."
