"Lexuan?"
Xian Lin'er looked hesitant as she studied the woman before her from head to toe, wanting to speak but holding back.
No matter how she looked at it...
Something was very wrong.
"Mm."
"What is it, Senior Lin'er?"
Yet when Zhang Lexuan raised her head, the sight of that serene, beautiful face swept every stray thought from Xian Lin'er's mind.
How could she think that way about Lin'er?
"Nothing."
"The Soul Tool is finished."
"You can use this from now on."
Xian Lin'er shook her head and handed her the Soul Tool, speaking gently.
"Thank you, Senior Lin'er."
Zhang Lexuan thanked her solemnly, gripping the Soul Tool tightly as she spoke softly.
"Mm."
"Since Lin'er gave Lexuan a gift, it wouldn't be right for me not to give her something too."
Watching them, Chu Ge smiled faintly.
"There's no need, really..."
Zhang Lexuan froze for a moment, then hurriedly tried to refuse.
The reason was simple: Chu Ge had already helped her so, so much. How could she accept anything else from him?
If he gave her another gift, she truly would feel too embarrassed to accept it.
"Don't turn it down."
"It isn't anything particularly precious."
Chu Ge shook his head gently at her words. As he spoke, a sword-shaped Soul Tool instantly appeared in his hand.
"This is the Shadow Edge Blade, a Level 8 Soul Tool I made before. With your strength, you'll be able to wield power at the Titled Douluo level."
He smiled and held it out to her.
"I..."
"Thank you, Chu Ge."
Since he had already held it out right before her, Zhang Lexuan stopped protesting. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she hurriedly thanked him.
"This gift..."
"I'll be sure to treasure it."
Zhang Lexuan spoke earnestly.
*A gift
