Chen Wen swept his gaze over the two of them before saying, "I can see that you have your eyes on this Spirit Sword and these gauntlets."
A flicker passed through Mu Zhanwu and Mu Longlan's eyes.
In the end, Mu Longlan still drew a deep breath. "That is indeed the case. There is no need to hide it."
"But I still want to say this: rules that have already been set must be followed."
"No matter what choice you make, we will have no objections."
"That's right. A gentleman's promise weighs heavier than a thousand pieces of gold," Mu Zhanwu echoed from the side.
Chen Wen's gaze traveled across the two of them before he spoke. "How about this? I have a suggestion. You can hear it out for now."
"Go ahead," Mu Zhanwu and Mu Longlan immediately said.
Chen Wen said, "The Emperor-grade Spirit Sword and Emperor-grade gauntlets will go to you. The remaining three items will go to me."
"No, that would put you at far too great a loss," Mu Longlan immediately said.
Mu Zhanwu also agreed. "That's right. This goes against the rules. We cannot let you suffer such a loss."
Chen Wen said, "First, you are only taking one item each, while I am taking three."
"If anyone is losing out, it is still you."
"Second, the Imperial Sword and the gauntlets are nowhere near as useful to me as they are to you. Consider it my way of helping you fulfill your wish."
"Perhaps you think that no matter how numerous those three items are, they cannot compare to an Emperor-grade Spirit Artifact, especially one with complete laws."
"But you should also consider this: they were placed in the same stone chest. They may not be as unimpressive as you imagine."
