Chapter 154 - Taos Fate (2/2)
In short, she cheated.
He lost.
Furthermore, due to their heavenly oath, cheating or not, he had to abide by it lest he suffers smiting by the heavens. As one could imagine, he was infuriated by her actions and ways to obtain a victory. As a man who prides himself on his intellect, he never would resort to cheating and in a battle of scholars, this was frowned upon by all.
Unfortunately, this malicious woman was not a scholar. In truth, she was raised as one, dabbled in the academic arts, but she was not a true scholar.
Tao had little faith in escaping the situation himself and without Yan Zaizen soul energy to power his spiritual sense, escape was impossible. During their chase for several months, what little soul energy left behind by Yan Zaizen was used up. Not to mention, they closed off all outside communication in the contest, so he couldn't even alert him.
However, despite being angry, he diligently abided by the heavenly oath. Not because he was scared of dying, as he much rather have his core dignity than life, but because of Yan Zaizen.
Who was he? He was Yan Zaizen's companion, his friend, and if one considered the way they clicked together, his brother. That kid may be young, but he was incredibly talented and ferocious. All he needed to do was wait, if he endured for a few hundred years, Yan Zaizen will easily be able to extricate him from this situation.
So, he'll wait.
Wait for revenge.
”Pour me another,” Yan Qiu waved an empty cup crafted from solid jade. Without hesitation, Tao produced a wine jug from his spatial ring and filled the cup like a proper slave. His expression was calm, but his eyes seemed as if it contained a typhoon of flames.
”Good boy. Seems like you're made for this sort of thing...being a slave, I mean.” Yan Qiu merciless taunted with a slight laugh. To her, people like Tao who overestimate themselves were far too easy to humiliate. In life, they believe themselves invincible. They weren't.
”I see,” a middle-aged man who emitted an extraordinary aura softly spoke. He sat down opposite of them, his eyes trained on Tao with ridicule and contempt. He was the expert Tao had turned a cuckold. In truth, the young woman was betrothed to him, and so it wasn't as serious.
She was already killed for her actions. He was here to make sure Tao suffered the same fate. However, seeing him forced to be a servant until death left him more satisfied than ever. Of course, he also couldn't take action. As a mid-True Essence Cultivator, he was nothing in front of Broad Creed Palace. Even if he insisted on killing Tao, he still couldn't.
”Now are you satisfied?” Yan Qiu said casually, obviously giving this expert who controlled an imperial-tier force no face. Despite this, the expert only nodded in acceptance and smiled ingratiatingly. It seemed as if he wished to get on this woman's good side.
However, Yan Qiu didn't seem to care about this, ”Leave.” She waved him away, sipping her wine with a bored expression. The expert only nodded, gave Tao a ridiculing smile and left. To him, he had already been compensated by Broad Creed Palace. He just wished to see Tao personally. Now that he did, he was completely at peace.
Tao remembered his face. The moment Yan Zaizen returned, he'll definitely deliver revenge. In truth, Tao wished he could do so himself, but it's only that it'll take him a thousand or more years just to be his equal. He didn't have time for that.
This man hunted him down and attempted to kill him. He was more than willing to let Yan Zaizen take action. With that thought, he smiled malevolently.
Yan Qiu noticed his smile and chuckled, ”You think just because he can't kill you, that your life will be allowed to proceed smoothly?” Her words carried derision, unbeknownst to her that Tao not only was smiling towards the expert but also her.
”Your life will never be easy henceforth,” smiling, she took a sip of her wine. Inwardly, Tao coldly chuckled.
'Just you wait bitch, just you wait.'
