_2 Suo Lun immediately took out banknotes, drew up a contract, and then signed his name and stamped the great seal of Earl Tianshui.
“Sign and press your fingerprint,” Suo Lun said.
Gui Qinshao stepped forward, flamboyantly signed her name on the wager contract, and then pressed her fingerprint as well.
And so, a new contract was established.
Suo Lun said, “To the distinguished guests present, I welcome you all to witness the duel ten days from now.
Of course, if I win, you can also join us for our victory drinks.”
“In your dreams…” Gui Qinshao snapped angrily, “In ten days, I’ll break both of your legs.”
Then, Gui Qinshao stared at Suo Lun and said, “Now that the bet has been made, I don’t want to see you again within these ten days, nor should you show yourself before me.”
Suo Lun said, “Rest assured, I will leave the Linhai City Lord’s mansion immediately, for I must go and learn swordsmanship.”
Following that, he approached Qingcheng Zi and said, “May I ask where your master, Sword Master Bi Xiao, currently is?
I wish to become his disciple and learn swordsmanship.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone present nearly burst out laughing.
They had heard of people cramming at the last minute, but this was ridiculously exaggerated.
With only ten days until a sword fight, and you’re just now seeking a master?
And yet, Suo Lun actually looked dead serious.
Qingcheng Zi said, “My master is in seclusion on Mystyle Mountain on Piaoling Island.
Lord Suo Lun, seeking mentorship now might be…
might be a bit late.”
Suo Lun asked, “How long does it take to get to Piaoling Island from here?”
Qingcheng Zi answered, “About a day, I suppose.
Moreover, my master dislikes being disturbed during his seclusion.
Besides, he has not taken any new disciples in recent years.”
Suo Lun said, “How will I know if I don’t try?
Maybe Master Bi Xiao will make an exception for me.”
Qingcheng Zi, feeling helpless, said, “Well, then, by all means, Lord Suo Lun, go ahead and try.”
Then, he hesitated to speak further.
“Please speak,” Suo Lun said.
With a solemn expression, Qingcheng Zi said, “Lord Suo Lun, the path of swordsmanship is extremely serious and cannot accommodate wild fantasies.
Allow me to speak frankly; even with my master’s abilities, it would take three years to make minor progress learning ‘Disaster of Nine Swords’ from scratch, and at least five years to defeat my junior sister Gui Qinshao.
Mind you, that’s with my master’s talent and aptitude.”
Qingcheng Zi was a peaceable man who seldom spoke harshly.
Even when others spoke ill of him, he would not mind.
But at that moment, he genuinely felt angry, believing Suo Lun was desecrating the way of the sword.
His frivolous fantasy was a true defilement of swordsmanship.
Therefore, he emphasized heavily that Suo Lun was deluding himself.
Even with Sword Master Bi Xiao’s talent, it took five years of practicing “Disaster of Nine Swords” to defeat the current Gui Qinshao.
What talent do you, Suo Lun, possess?
Could it possibly match that of Bi Xiao, the world’s number one swordsman?
Yet you claim it takes only ten days?
If it isn’t a desecration of swordsmanship, what is?
Suo Lun bowed deeply to Qingcheng Zi and said solemnly, “Master Qingcheng Zi, please believe me, right now my heart is filled with utmost seriousness, and I hold an immense reverence for the Sword Dao.”
Qingcheng Zi looked at Suo Lun for a while and then nodded, “I hope so.”
Suo Lun turned to Gui Qinshao and said, “Please prepare a boat for me.
I will go to Piaoling Island immediately to apprentice under Sword Master Bi Xiao.”
Gui Qinshao took out a jade pendant and handed it to Suo Lun, saying, “This is my token.
Keep heading west to Southwind Dock.
Show them this jade pendant, and there will be a boat to take you to Piaoling Island.”
Suo Lun took it and even brazenly kissed it under his nose, making a gesture of ecstasy.
Immediately, Gui Qinshao nearly exploded in rage and nearly snatched the jade pendant back.
Disappear from my sight.
I don’t want to see you for even a moment,” Gui Qinshao said, then turned her delicate body away, facing her back to Suo Lun.
Her figure was explosive; her slender waist, shaped from years of practicing “Disaster of Nine Swords,” was as supple as a snake.
The round buttocks beneath her waist were astonishingly perky; turning her back this way highlighted the explosive curves of her waist and hips like a hormonal bomb, instantly detonating men’s eyeballs and hearts.
In terms of devilish physique alone, it would be hard to find anyone who could surpass Gui Qinshao.
Suo Lun said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am off to apprentice and learn swordsmanship.
Ten days from now, right here, I will fight a sword duel with Gui Qinshao.
Please be sure to come.”
Without his reminder, everyone present would undoubtedly come without missing a single one.
Such an exciting moment is hard to come by in a lifetime, especially at the moment when Gui Qinshao really breaks Suo Lun’s legs.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I take my leave.
Qin Shu, wait for my return.” Suo Lun bowed to everyone, and then left the banquet hall.
Suo Ningbing followed close behind.
He moved towards his own room, and Suo Ningbing was about to follow him as well.
“Sister, I’m going to pack some private things in my room, just wait for me outside,” Suo Lun said with a gentle smile.
Suo Ningbing’s eyes were red, and she nodded her head, then stood outside, watching as Suo Lun entered the room.
Once inside the room, the frivolous smile on Suo Lun’s handsome face vanished completely.
Then, his eyes quickly reddened, his body began to shake, and his handsome face started to convulse.
After a ferocious roar, he bellowed and furiously vented his inner grief and anger.
Then, he violently drew his sharp sword and wildly hacked everything inside the room to pieces.
