She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Manshu wanted to show the Fengming Sword to his grandfather.

Her grandfather Yan Lang is a professor of history, so he should have done some research on the Fengming Sword.

When Manshu went downstairs, he saw that everyone was already sitting at the dining table eating.

"Manman, why don't you sleep a little longer? Your aunt said you came home late last night."

Ms. Qin looked at her granddaughter and quickly asked someone to bring her a set of bowls and chopsticks.

"No, I'm rested."

Manshu sat down next to Ms. Qin.

She placed the sword on a chair beside her.

Professor Yan was of course also concerned about his granddaughter, and he was sharp-eyed enough to notice what she took.

"Why are you holding a sword? Is this morning's exercise swordplay?"

Professor Yan knew that his granddaughter had the habit of doing morning exercises every day. She got up late today and thought she would make up for it later.

Practicing swordsmanship?

Manshu was stunned by Professor Yan's question.

"Yes, I'll go to the yard to practice swordplay later."

Since you have such a great sword, why not show it off?

Mr. Shen had taught her Tai Chi sword before, so this was a good opportunity for her to practice it.

Professor Yan stared at Manshu's sword and said, "You bought this sword at a high price, didn't you?"

The silver scabbard is exquisitely crafted, and you can tell it is a good sword without even looking at it.

A sword like this seems a bit overkill if used for morning exercises.

"Grandpa, please wait until you finish your meal before you read it."

Seeing Professor Yan eager to try, Manshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

However, Manshu immediately reacted and wondered why Yan Zhan was not at the table.

"My Third Uncle, hasn't he come downstairs yet?"

My aunt took a sip of porridge and replied, "He left early, ten minutes before you came downstairs. But don't worry, he ate breakfast and left."

The aunt noticed that Manshu had a very close relationship with her uncle.

Yan Zhan is not some unknown person.

In the imperial capital, you must have your own residence.

But for Manshu, it was already a rare occasion that he was willing to live in the Yan family.

He left early and came back late, probably because it was not convenient to do things at Yan's house.

"Oh." When Manshu heard that Yan Zhan had already had breakfast, he didn't ask anything else.

Professor Yan, however, finished his breakfast quickly because he couldn't wait to see Manshu's sword.

He picked up the sword, and just by weighing it, he knew it was extraordinary.

"What is the origin of your sword?"

"A gift from someone else."

Manshu thought, isn't this delivered to her?

Little did he know that when Professor Yan heard this, instead of being happy, his expression became serious.

"Manman, this sword is obviously not an ordinary item. No matter who gave it to you, this gift will burn your hands if you put it away."

The only thing missing was to clearly say that Manshu shouldn't have accepted it.

Manshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandpa, please listen to my explanation. This sword is indeed not an ordinary one. It is called Fengming."

"What? Is this the legendary Fengming Sword?"

Professor Yan certainly knew about the Fengming Sword, but he had never seen it.

He had no relationship with the Xu family, so naturally he did not participate in the sword appreciation conference.

But he had also heard of the Fengming Sword.

It is said that no one can unsheathe the Xu family's Fengming sword, and it is the favorite of the old man of the Xu family.

Why would someone give this thing to Manshu for no reason?

However, even though he had doubts in his heart, Professor Yan could still see that this sword was an ancient sword of top quality.

Therefore, he could conclude that Manshu was not lying.

Because he knew that Manshu was not lying, Professor Yan's face looked even uglier.

"I heard that the Fengming Sword is in the hands of the old man of the Xu family. He probably won't be willing to give the sword away easily."
