Chapter 191: Guan Yue Accepting the Challenge (2/2)

“I know what you wish to say. You don’t need to persuade me anymore. If I win, I will still be a member of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. If I lose, I will return to my past identity as a descendant of a declined aristocratic clan. I will never bring shame onto the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence.”

“You know that is not what I mean.” Ying Lan looked at Guan Yue’s current mental state and felt rather surprised. Guan Yue was painstakingly recruited by his mistress. If he were to suffer such a huge setback now, how was he supposed to explain himself to Bai Luochu?

Guan Yue patted on Ying Lan’s shoulder. He knew that Ying Lan wasn’t someone who focused so much on the reputation of the sect.

“If you already know that I won’t care about the result of the fight, why are you still accepting the challenge?” Ying Lan didn’t give up.

A sinister smile slowly crept up Guan Yue’s face. “Why bother? If his parents can’t educate him, they can’t blame it on me for teaching their child some manners. Of course… I’m going to teach this brat how to behave as a decent human being!”

Guan Yue completed his sentence and flew up to the stage. None of them were able to react in time and by the time Meng Luoqing moved, Guan Yue was already standing on the stage.

Guan Yue still behaved elegantly and courteously. He didn’t start with a sneak attack nor did he start cursing. He greeted his opponent respectfully. “I pay my respects to my opponent.”

When that young man saw Guan Yue accepting his challenge, he laughed heartily. “HAHAHAHAHAHA!! The cowardly tortoise is finally willing to come out of his shell! Since you are here, don’t even think about walking out of this place alive!”

Before the words left his mouth, the young man had already started his attack. ‘Plop’. Guan Yue didn’t seem to move at all and if anything, he shifted a step to the left. The merchant’s son who issued the challenge fell onto the ground behind him.

Everyone saw Guan Yue straighten his body as he turned to speak to the young man. “There is a saying, ‘There can never be too much deception in war’. I won’t blame you for attacking me suddenly. Consider this a gift. It won’t be so easy from now on and I shall allow you to stand up before making my first move. Some people here might say that I am taking advantage of you if I make a move now.”
