"What made you come to visit, Elder Baek?"

"Patriak Fu, is there something I want?"

"Is something you really want here?"

Baek Tian was surprised to see the one hundred and eighty degree change in attitude that Fu Hei had shown him. He looked as if he no longer thought of him as a child.

"I want to see the legacy that the legendary hero of the Fu Family left behind."

"You mean you want the swordsman's notebook, the masterpiece of the legendary swordsman Fu Juese?"

Baek Tian nodded his head. Patriarch Fu and Jiang Jiang who were unexpected by the request seemed to be holding back his shock.

Fu Hei then thought for a while there before he finally asked Jiang Jiang to bring what Baek Tian had asked him.

Jiang Jiang who had gone to pick up something a moment ago appeared with a dirty book and looked extremely worn out. He then placed it carefully in front of Baek Tian.

No one knows how old the book is and people often assume that it is more than a decade old.

The book looked very old with a very pungent smell of paper on the nose, it looked fragile so it could be torn when held and the writings inside were very ugly and difficult to read.

"The book contains nothing but a daily journal written directly by our ancestral grandfather. Is that what you want?"

Baek Tian smiled, "Thank you very much Patriarch Fu."

"Wait a minute, we're not giving this book away for free. There should be something of an equal exchange here right, Elder Baek."

Baek Tian desperately wanted a book on the swordsman's records of the legendary hero Fu Juese no matter what, but the problem here, this book was both a Family treasure as well as the legacy of their esteemed ancestors.

"What should I do?"

"We want to establish a good relationship with Elder Baek, so this will not be heavy. Would you mind once more to get engaged to Fu Ning?"

"Patriaks?!"

"Patriack..."

Jiang Jiang was very surprised by the offer his patriarch proposed whereas Baek Tian himself made a complicated expression, how should he refuse this offer.

"Haha, you don't have to think about it for now, Elder Baek. Just remember this well in your head."

Fu Hei then let out a long sigh after Baek Tian left with the book in his hand.

"Is this going to be alright Patriarch Fu?'

Jiang Jiang looked at Fu Hei with eyes

"It doesn't matter, after all, it's just an old book about the diary of an old man in the past. What's problem?"

Fu Hei looked out the window, he saw Baek Tian who was slowly leaving his residence.

"...Someday, far in the future you will understand, why you should marry Fu Ning, Elder Baek."

Said Fu Hei softly as if he was talking to his own shadow, Jiang Jiang who saw him only tilted his head in incomprehension.
