Chapter 61: Arsenal

Chen An watched the entire conversation between Huang Yuexuan and Bai Qing, and suddenly felt very admiring of Huang Yuexuan.From Chen An's personal experience, Bai Qing was not particularly difficult to talk to, but because of her identity and personality, there were not many people who dared to talk in front of her, usually it was just those people coming and going.

As for those who could get along well, even fewer, it couldn't be said to be rare, but it could definitely be said to be rare.

Under these circumstances, Huang Yuexuan was able to chat with Bai Qing for so long, and even chat so happily.

It had to be said, her negotiating skills were top-notch.

Chen An lamented himself for not being as good and said he couldn't learn it.

He admitted that he was a straightforward person, only good at fighting, couldn't learn this skill.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

Even if the chat was pleasant, it was time to end.

"It's getting late, sister, go rest first," Bai Qing said, looking at the sky, then smiled and continued, "Let's chat more tomorrow."

"Alright," Huang Yuexuan replied with a smile, "I'm a little tired, I'll go rest now, we'll chat more tomorrow, sister."

As they said their goodbyes, they lingered for a while before parting ways.

Before Huang Yuexuan left, she glanced at Chen An: "Mr. Chen, see you tomorrow."

Chen An nodded without speaking.

After Huang Yuexuan left, only Bai Qing and Chen An were left.

At this point, with no outsiders around, Bai Qing finally asked, "What happened?"

Now that Huang Yuexuan was not around, Bai Qing's style instantly returned to her usual concise manner of speaking.

Chen An recounted what happened on the way and informed Bai Qing.

Of course, after killing the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, he also went to rob the Black Tiger Gang, but that didn't need to be mentioned.

Listening to Chen An's story, Bai Qing fell into deep thought.

She was an old social person who was used to seeing the bigger picture, naturally understanding the implications behind this incident.

"It's troublesome," she shook her head and smiled, "It seems my sister Huang is not simple, rare to go out and someone is intent on killing her."

"But that person never thought that you would intervene in this matter," she said, looking at Chen An.

If Chen An hadn't been involved in Huang Yuexuan's matter this time, it would probably have ended long ago.

Those guards around Huang Yuexuan couldn't even stop a third-in-command of the Black Tiger Gang, let alone the leader behind him.

"Huang Miss herself is not skilled in martial arts, I wonder who wants to harm her," Chen An added.

Huang Yuexuan didn't look like a martial artist, and her guards were quite lacking in strength.

But the person behind the Black Tiger Gang could command someone like the leader of the gang, indicating they were not to be underestimated.

It was just unclear why they wanted to target Huang Yuexuan.

"Perhaps it's because of enmity, perhaps because of property, who can say for sure?" Bai Qing laughed and added, "Of course, it's also possible for the sake of beauty, after all, my sister Huang is quite a beauty."

"In my opinion, Miss Huang may be beautiful, but still not as alluring as you, Miss," Chen An complimented.

Bai Qing rolled her eyes at him, "Speaking of which, Miss Huang seems to have a soft spot for you, so you should seize the opportunity, maybe you can win her heart."

"Miss, you're joking," Chen An laughed, "Miss Huang doesn't seem like such a simple person."

Despite not having spent much time together, Chen An could sense that Huang Yuexuan was deep in thought.

People like her were not easy to get along with.

"You can see that, not bad," Bai Qing nodded, then changed the subject, "But you may be young, but you are already of marriageable age."

"I heard that Zilan seems to really like you?" she added.

Chen An hesitated, "Miss Zilan is just friendly towards everyone, it may not mean anything special."

"Is that so? How come I heard she often looks for you, not long ago even dragged you out to see the lantern festival," Bai Qing teased, "Is that also just friendly between friends?"

Bai Qing looked at Chen An with curiosity, clearly interested in the gossip. It seemed that gossip was a common trait in women no matter the world.

Chen An fell silent.

He really didn't know how to respond to this.

And as far as he knew, Zilan's elders didn't seem to have a good relationship with Bai Qing.

Bai Qing had a smile on her face, who knew what she was really thinking.

Since he didn't know how to respond, he decided to remain silent.

Fortunately, Bai Qing didn't dwell on this topic and quickly brought up another matter.

"The Black Tiger Gang also has some reputation in the Upper Element County, you were able to kill their leader, so your cultivation must have improved quite a bit," Bai Qing said, "The clan's major competition is coming up, it's time for you to find a martial skill to practice."

The White Family's major competition was just around the corner, still about half a month away.

Half a month might seem like a lot of time, but it was not much when it came to cultivation techniques, it wouldn't improve much strength, but practicing martial skills might be beneficial.

Unlike internal cultivation methods, martial skills could have a significant impact on combat power with basic proficiency.

With the White Family's major competition approaching, Bai Qing was preparing to strengthen Chen An.

"Tomorrow, take my token and choose a martial skill from the arsenal yourself," Bai Qing was generous with Chen An, allowing him to choose on his own.

"Thank you, Miss," Chen An said calmly, nodding respectfully. He was a little surprised by this but not entirely unexpected.

With Bai Qing's background, there was no shortage of martial skills or anything of the sort.

She probably had not provided it earlier not out of stinginess but considering Chen An's cultivation level.

Martial skills required internal energy to operate, and in Bai Qing's view, Chen An had just recently reached the Internal Energy Realm, not even half a year ago.

When just advancing to the Internal Energy Realm, others at Chen An's level were still focusing on cultivating internal energy and opening up their meridians.

At this point, even if he possessed martial skills, it would be useless as his internal energy could not support the operation of martial skills.

However, perhaps the timing was now deemed appropriate, Bai Qing finally generously allowed Chen An to choose a martial skill.

Although the martial skills available for selection this time were likely common and ordinary, they were still enough to arouse excitement.

Even the cheapest martial skills would cost four to five thousand silver coins in the outside world.

That was a lot of money.

If Chen An could acquire it directly, he could save that money and later exchange it for another internal cultivation method.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should go back and rest," Bai Qing began to send him off.

She looked at the sky and then directed Chen An to leave.

Chen An had no objections, of course.

Leaving Bai Qing's courtyard, he headed towards his own residence, passing by Huang Yuexuan's residence on the way.

He glanced back at the brightly lit room, it seemed that the owner had not yet gone to bed, he wondered what she was up to.

Chen An took a look and then quietly left.

The next day, in the early morning, Chen An took Bai Qing's token and went to the White Family's arsenal.

The White Family's arsenal was shared by all members of the White Family, storing all the martial arts collected since the family's establishment.

Whether it was internal cultivation methods or martial skills, they were all stored here.

Showing the token, Chen An entered the arsenal.

Before him was a library-like setting.

It resembled a small library, but with stricter security measures, with people watching closely all the time to prevent theft.

"It doesn't seem like much," Chen An thought as he looked at the rows of bookshelves before him.

In his view, the books on these shelves were not as many as those in an ordinary library in his previous life.

Even if those books on experiences and martial arts were counted, it would only be about the size of five or six bookshelves.

To Chen An, it was somewhat disappointing.

However, this could also indicate the importance of martial arts inheritance in this world.

Even the White Family, as an aristocratic family, only had these books in their arsenal.

Let alone the ordinary small sects, it was likely that the entire family only had one martial arts inheritance.

In addition to martial skills on the shelves, there were also internal cultivation methods.

But there were clearly more martial skills available.

Chen An roughly estimated.

There were probably about thirty to forty martial skills available here, while there were only five internal cultivation methods on display.

However, the internal cultivation methods available here were mostly qualified products that had been verified, with the lowest being at the third level.

Like the Qing Pine Force Chen An had purchased before, it probably didn't qualify before he improved it.

Ignoring the internal cultivation methods, Chen An looked at the many martial skills in front of him.
