The Dukes didn't look at it like Han Sen did. They only looked at it for a few seconds before handing it back to Black Moon King. They looked at it for a few minutes, and then they were done.
The young people didn't get to look at the knife alone. After the Dukes finished looking, Black Moon King put the knife away. That was the end of the ceremony.
Black Moon King invited a few Kings and Dukes to have tea. Some stayed, while others left.
Black Steel invited Rebecca and the others to the garden to talk. That included Han Sen.
Han Sen followed Black Steel to the garden and sat down in a pavilion. Aside from Han Sen, the others had known each other since they were young. They didn't need to be polite to each other, regardless of whether they were friends or foes.
Without Black-Moon King and the others around, Rebecca and the others were even more relaxed. They chatted enthusiastically, occasionally sparring with each other. No one was willing to be at a disadvantage.
Han Sen didn't say a word. He didn't know anyone other than Black Steel, and he was thinking about what he had learned from the knife. He didn't want to hear what they were talking about.
Du Lishe, seeing Han Sen not talking, grunted and said, "Genius Han, you looked at the knife for so long and said it was a good knife. You must have seen something good about it that we didn't. Why don't you tell us what you saw?
What is so good about the knife? Why don't you tell us something? "
After Du Lishe said that, everyone looked at Han Sen. They were curious, and they wanted to know if Han Sen really understood what the knife was all about, or if he was just pretending.
Han Sen closed his eyes and thought about what he had learned from the knife. He wasn't paying attention, and he didn't notice Du Lishe was talking to him. He kept his eyes closed and ignored her.
Du Lishe, seeing Han Sen ignore her, was a little angry. But she couldn't say anything.
Du Lishe didn't say anything, but that didn't mean the others wouldn't either. She was Moonwheel Of Gojoseon's second daughter, and she was very pretty. She was talented, too. She had many suitors.
In fact, many of the young Rebate were Rebecca and Du Lishe's suitors. Seeing Han Sen ignore Du Lishe, some of them couldn't help themselves.
"Didn't the Great Prodigy Han already tell us what he saw?" A Viscount named Kriman said in a strange tone.
"What did he say?" Du Lishe asked with confusion.
Everyone looked at Kriman, but they knew he wasn't going to say anything nice.
Kriman chuckled. "Don't you guys have ears?
Didn't the great prodigy Han say this many times?
That is a good knife.... "
"Ha!" Kriman mocked Han Sen, and Du Lishe couldn't help but laugh.
Kriman was making fun of Han Sen for pretending to understand. Everyone could hear what he was saying, and they all laughed. Some of the more polite ones were smiling as well.
But Han Sen still sat there, expressionless. He was thinking about what had happened, and he didn't want to forget it. He didn't want to hear what they were saying.
Han Sen ignored them, but Black Steel frowned and said, "Han Sen has his reasons for looking at the knife."
Black Steel was not an eloquent person, so that was all he said.
Kriman didn't care about Black Steel's feelings, though. He wanted to help Du Lishe, so he said, "Black Steel, you know knives. You must have a point. I believe you.
But I can't say for certain people. They looked at the knife for half an hour, and all they said was the same thing.
Pretending to be cool is a form of education. If you aren't educated, don't pretend to be cool. This is the first time I've seen someone do something so stupid. "
"Kriman, please watch your words." Black Steel's face looked gloomy.
Kriman pursed his lips and said, "I'm a straightforward person. I'll say whatever I want to say. If I'm wrong, ask him to explain himself. If he can convince everyone, I'll even kowtow to him and admit my mistake."
A Joyless Night, Night Giant God, and a few other people who hated Han Sen also said, "Yeah, if he knows something, he should tell us. If it makes sense, we should apologize to him. If he only talks about how good the knife is, then it is pointless."
Black Steel saw Han Sen was still sitting there, not saying anything. He patted him and said, "If you don't mind, tell us."
Black Steel knew Han Sen, and he believed Han Sen must have seen something. That was why he was looking at the knife for so long.
This was Han Sen's business, and if Han Sen didn't want to talk about it, Black Steel wouldn't ask.
But now that Kriman had spoken so harshly, Black Steel couldn't stand it anymore. He was worried about Han Sen, too.
If Han Sen didn't say anything, his reputation would be tarnished. It would be a stain that couldn't be wiped away.
It wasn't easy for outsiders to survive in Narrow Moon. Han Sen had built up a good reputation, and if it was ruined, Black Steel thought it would be a shame.
When Black Steel patted him, Han Sen woke up. When he heard what Black Steel said, he asked, "Talk about what?"
He hadn't heard what Black Steel had said, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
But when Kriman and the others heard what he said, they thought Han Sen was admitting he hadn't seen anything. So, they didn't have anything to say.
Kriman laughed and said, "Black Steel, you heard it yourself. I'm not slandering him.
But I do admire Genius Han. His skin is really thick. He didn't see anything, and yet he was able to stare at the knife for half an hour in front of all the Kings. His skin is not something I can compare to. "
A Joyless Night laughed coldly and said, "He is Genius Han. He is different from us. He said something nice about the knife, and that's already a lot of respect. What more do you want?"
When Han Sen heard this, he didn't need to ask Black Steel to know what was going on.
Looking at Kriman and A Joyless Night, Han Sen coldly said, "I don't know how to talk about it, but my teacher has taught me something. I can perform it for you all to see. I hope it will make you all laugh."
"Oh, then let's see what kind of performance you are going to perform. You won't be cheering, will you?" Kriman said in a weird tone.
He thought Han Sen was trying to change the subject, so he didn't want to let Han Sen get away with it.
Han Sen smiled and said, "The geno art I learned recently is called Moon."
