How could this be possible?
Standing in the stream and empty-handed, Xue Yong’e was too shocked to say anything.
He never thought that he would beat Gu Qing easily, but in his imagination, this would be an exciting and spectacular sword fight, and it would last a long time before the winner was announced.
Even though he was defeated, his defeat would be glorious one, attaining compliments from the masters and admirations from the peers of the Sword Washing Hall.
Who could expect such a result?
Gu Qing didn’t attack him when he was sword-less, but stood on the opposite side of the stream, holding his sword and waiting silently.
At last Xue Yong’e came back to his senses, his face growing hot.
This intense feeling of humiliation made him forget what had happened three years ago.
He shouted loudly.
