"Well..."
At Chen Jian's words, Jiang Xiaobai's face immediately took on a troubled look. "Brother Chen, it's not that I don't want to tell you."
"It's just that we've only met for the first time, after all. Besides... you know that everything I mentioned just now was a supreme martial art."
"It wouldn't be quite right to pass them on so freely!"
"That's true."
Chen Jian nodded earnestly.
If such supreme arts could be shared at will, they wouldn't be supreme arts at all.
At that thought, a trace of regret crept onto Chen Jian's face.
"However..."
Jiang Xiaobai paused briefly, then looked at Chen Jian and sighed. "However, what can I do when Brother Chen and I appreciate each other so deeply?"
"To tell you the truth, the moment I met you today, I felt that fate had brought us together. Since we're both devoted to martial arts, all worldly concerns must take a back seat to a bond like this!"
"Brother Jiang, you..."
Chen Jian's eyes lit up as he listened.
"Yes!"
Without waiting for Chen Jian to finish, Jiang Xiaobai nodded. "I live at the Northern Guardian Marquis's Estate. If you have time, Brother Chen, come visit me. Then... we can sit down and have a proper exchange!"
"Really?"
Delight immediately spread across Chen Jian's face.
"Of course!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded. "I, Jiang Xiaobai, have always been a man of my word. Besides, we've hit it off like old friends. A true kindred spirit is hard to find in this world."
"Heh, what do a few supreme martial arts matter?"
"Brother Jiang, you are truly noble!"
Growing even more excited, Chen Jian immediately cupped his hands. "To have met you today, Brother Jiang, is a blessing earned over three lifetimes!"
"You're too kind, Brother Chen!"
