The samurai's sword rarely leaves their hand, but Bai Ruozhu easily disarmed Xinye, proving that if she were ruthless, Xinye would be no match for her.
For a moment, the hall fell into complete silence. The first samurai's face turned black, clearly very angry, though it was unclear if he was angry at Xinye for being useless or if he harbored a grudge against Bai Ruozhu.
Suddenly, applause erupted as a burly man stepped forward, clad in jet-black armor that clinked with metallic whispers as he moved.
"Zhongyuan martial arts are indeed formidable!" General Chisong exclaimed, surprisingly speaking in Chinese, albeit with a slightly awkward accent, showing his respect for the guests.
Sa Tian displayed respect and saluted General Chisong, "Greetings, General."
Everyone else quickly stood and saluted.
Bai Ruozhu and her companions also clasped their hands and performed the Danliang ceremonial salutation to meet General Chisong.
