Chapter 137: Win or Loss (2/2)
Upon hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu's face became hot. In that last hit, for the sake of winning, he didn't care about using a secret technique to increase his own potential, forcing the Sword Qi that hadn't been compressed into the strongest realm. However, he didn't expect that he would still lose.
...
...
”How long have I been unconscious for?” He looked at his surroundings and asked.
”Relax, it is not long. Just a couple of hours!” Junior Leopard said, ”In that last hit you hurt your meridians, but it is not serious. You just have to go back and rest for a while!”
”Oh, then, thanks!” Li Xiu looked at Junior Leopard. He didn't know what to say at the moment. His head was hot. He rushed into Junior Leopard's house to issue a challenge. In the end, he was beaten up and nearly died on the spot. Furthermore, he was rescued by him. This was too embarrassing and too awkward. As the Li Young Master, how did he meet with such a situation?
This was a situation he had never expected!
”Hey, don't faint. You should get up. Even though you have hurt your meridians, if you persist, you should be able to move freely. If you don't go back now, are you thinking of staying over at my house?”
”Ah? Oh... Ouch!” Hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu suddenly sat up. Following that was a loud cry. Obviously, his movements were too big, aggravating his injury.
”Aye, I can't figure it out!” Junior Leopard bowed his head and repeatedly shook, showing an expression of 'I lost to you'. He picked up a suit from the side and shoved it in front of him, ”Your clothes are already in tatters. Wear mine first. Next time return it together with the sword!”
”Sword?” Li Xiu raised his head, confused.
”Hey, don't be like this. We bet on this. Don't tell me you want to break your words now?”
This time around, Li Xiu finally remembered and said, ”Oh, I didn't mean that. However, now I am in Zhonghe City and not at home, I can only retrieve the sword when I reach home, so...”
”Go back home? How long will it take?” Junior Leopard frowned. He had neglected this point. Previously he only wanted to get a good sword and he had forgotten about this point. Now it was only three months away from that wedding in Yunzhou. That fella wanted to go home to retrieve the sword, but heaven knows how long it would take. Pingzhou was much further than Yunzhou!
”Are you in a hurry?” Seeing Junior Leopard frown, Li Xiu's heart rose. He was the Li Family's Young Master. Even though he was defeated, this was a just and honorable match. Those who were willing to bet had to be satisfied with losing. He didn't wish Junior Leopard to think that he was a person that went back on his promises. Hence he said, ”I have a Genuine Weapon with me now. Its quality is extremely good. However it is a bit short, I'm afraid it is not suitable for you!”
”Dagger?”
Junior Leopard's eyes flashed. He thought of the coal dagger of Xue Wuya's. That dagger was very good and practical. However it was Xue Wuya's, so Junior Leopard did not dare to take it out. Hence when he saw Li Xiu and knew that he came from the Li Family, he thus had the idea of getting one from him. He never thought that this fella thought he wanted a sword not a dagger.
”A dagger is fine. However, you have to keep the secret for me. Don't tell anyone. And, if I use it, there shouldn't be anyone being able to see through this sword's background right?”
”Definitely not. This was gifted to me by a senior when I was 10. He passed away last year, no one has seen it. Hence, there won't be anyone seeing through this dagger's background!” speaking until here, Li Xiu's expression became strange, ”Why do you have to be so secretive? Are you using the dagger to do bad things?”
”That is none of your business. Why are you asking so much?” Junior Leopard unkindly said.
”I don't think your injury is serious. Go back now. Can you pass me that dagger in two days?”
”No problem, I can pass it to you tomorrow!” Li Xiu said simply. He looked at Junior Leopard and suddenly had some apprehension as he said, ”There is a matter that I have to ask!”
”What?”
”Ugh, that, how are my feats and sword techniques?”
”Hum?” Junior Leopard said strangely, ”Your feats and sword techniques are not bad. Why are you asking this?”
”Only not bad?” hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu seemed relieved. However, at the same time his tone carried a sense of disappointment. You knew that people praised him for being a genius once seen every hundred years, his insight into sword techniques reaching the epitome and his future promising, which made him feel extremely good.
However, in Junior Leopard's eyes, they were only not bad. Subconsciously he felt somewhat dejected.
Of course, he wouldn't think that Junior Leopard was belittling himself. Afterall they were about the same age, yet he openly defeated by Junior Leopard. In terms of strength, he had the qualifications to assess him.
”Of course it is not bad!” Junior Leopard saw his dissatisfied look and smiled, ”With your age, this should be not bad. I haven't met someone of your age who is so powerful!”
”Aren't you stronger than me?”
”That is because I have the advantage in the usage of weapons! Your fighting experience is not enough. I had deliberately lured you into my tempo. If not, it is difficult to say who would win or lose!” Junior Leopard comforted him. Even though he had 100% confidence that he could smash Li Xiu to death, however, it was okay to say pretty words now.
”Not enough experience?”
”Yes, your battle experience is too little. You held a sword to clash head-on with my hammers. Isn't that looking for trouble? However, you are strong enough to actually use your blade Qi to smash my hammers!” Junior Leopard said.
Upon hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu looked better.
”This fella's experience is too little. I gave you a hammer first before complimenting you. There shouldn't be any hatred!” Junior Leopard said in his heart, ”Who knows how his dagger is, can it be compared to Xue Wuya's coal dagger!”
