Chapter 524: He Definitely Can’t Beat You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
But from the name ‘Wu Duosi’, it seemed like a possible diversion tactic, didn’t it?
Bringing up this topic, Zhong Lang’s face was filled with guilt as he reiterated the old saying, “Eldest Miss, if you don’t punish me, my conscience will never rest.”
Wu Qiang was derelict in his duties too, wasn’t he?
The conversation indeed needed to be redirected, but Liu Shimei still wanted to inquire about Wu Qiang.
She sighed and said, “First, resolve your grievances, and then we can talk about anything else. Of course, regardless of the reasons behind today’s events, you did leave your post, not fulfilling the agreement we made initially. So, there has to be a conclusion to this matter.”
She looked up again and said, ‘First, tell me everything you know about this Wu Duosi. Consider it helping me. If there are any leads, Ninth Brother’s people can investigate faster.”
Zhong Lang nodded and said, “Certainly.”
Liu Shimei prepared herself to listen attentively.
“When Wu Duosi first appeared, he wasn’t well-known,” Zhong Lang began. “He gained fame by challenging renowned experts. As soon as he entered Jianghu, he started challenging people from the top experts’ list. People in the martial world thought he was crazy for seeking fame, but his martial skills were indeed exceptional. Within a short year, he defeated 10 out of the top 50 experts in the martial world, thus making a name for himself.”
He continued impassively, “Two years later, he started challenging the top 20 experts in the martial world. During these two years, he also made quite a few friends in the martial world, including Lame Qi.”
Liu Shimei was taken aback, “Is that the Lame Qi who performed the autopsy on his body?”
“Yes, it is. How he got to know Lame Qi, I have no idea,” replied Zhong Lang.
He didn’t know, and it wasn’t surprising. After all, he was not one to meddle in other people’s affairs.
In fact, he didn’t even know about Wu Duosi’s existence originally.
He continued, “Two years ago, Wu Duosi came looking for me, Zhong Lang.”contemporary romance
Liu Shimei furrowed her brow. “He surely couldn’t beat you.”
Absolutely certain in her tone!
Zhong Lang looked at her in surprise and asked, “Eldest Miss, why do you think so?”
If it were someone else, he wouldn’t bother asking such a meaningless question.
But Liu Shimei’s words piqued his curiosity.
“Just a feeling,” Liu Shimei explained. “He might be skilled, but Mr. Wu had signed a contract with the Grand Chancellor’s family. He served as a martial arts instructor alongside my brother, teaching him martial arts and protecting him. Long periods of comfortable living, even if he trained diligently and never slacked off, in a chance encounter, it’s experience and bravery that count.”
She sighed and continued, “Living in the palace requires more brainpower, and the ones who truly fight are few. The longer a person enjoys peace, the more it wears down their fighting spirit. In other words, their bravery continuously diminishes. And because they fight less, their experience becomes narrower. But you…”
Looking at Zhong Lang, she went on, “Mr. Zhong, you have been wandering in the martial world, rich in combat experience. When brave souls clash in narrow paths, the bravest wins. Even someone with superior martial skills might not beat you. Moreover, someone who comes from the palace?”
“Eldest Miss’s words are not wrong,” Zhong Lang’s typically calm eyes flickered with approval. “Indeed, Wu Duosi can’t defeat me. But he didn’t give up. His martial arts were already strong, and every now and then, he would come challenge me. Despite his repeated provocations, I didn’t kill him. But then….”
