After acquiring the Sword Bamboo, Xiao Chen flatly refused the Xiong Family's invitation.
He had achieved his goal and had no interest in the upcoming matchmaking event the Xiong Family was holding.
Although the Xiong Family hinted they would be selecting a talented young man to be engaged into their family, he had no desire to become a live-in son-in-law.

On this trip to Shattered Stone Valley, he had tasted the specialty Spirit Wine, dealt with One-Eyed, repaired the Cyan Gourd, and bought the Thousand-Year Sword Bamboo. It was, by all accounts, a worthwhile journey.
He'd been away for nearly a month, and it was time to head back.
'Since I'm already here, I might as well bring back some local specialties.'
Walking through the small town outside the valley, Xiao Chen saw that even more stalls had been set up along the street.
