Chapter 188: It’s so lonely to be peerless!
Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation
Xu Que’s words jolted everyone back to their senses.
Everyone thought about the bet which Xu Que and young master Zhao had laid down before the challenge.
Young master Zhao’s face swelled so red it resembled a pig’s liver. He gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Que. He was so furious he couldn’t even speak!
A young student finally arrived and brought the necessary stationary to the table. Xu Que then opened a roll of paper before young master Zhao and even warmly picked a pen up for him.
Young master Zhao glared coldly at Xu Que as he bit down hard on his teeth, ”Li Bai, I shall remember you! My revenge for today shall eventually be taken!”
”Alright, alright. I welcome the coming days. Pui. I mean, I welcome your revenge any day! That’s right. In the meantime, write my name down, and remember to include my Heavenly Explosion Faction!”
Xu Que was beaming from ear to ear. The expression on his face was one of a wretched winner taunting his foe!
”Hmph!”
Young master Zhao cleared his throat before he picked up a pen and started waving it up and down the piece of paper.
This was the hole dug by himself, even if he had to kneel down, he would do so with dignity!
This was the words used to describe the bitterness within young master Zhao’s heart. It wasn’t that he was willing to fulfil the terms of his bet. The reason he actually did it was because there were far too many students present. In fact, even Madam Ya had witnessed his bold statements. Hence, young master Zhao didn’t dare to go back on his words, for if he did, his reputation would be much worse off than this!
”Tch tch…”
The pen in his hand was dancing across the paper, as his arms trembled. If he hung these words over his body, it would be hard to imagine the humiliation and taunts which would befall him.
However, a good man would do as he said he would. Under the scrutiny of all the students, young master Zhao finally wrote, ‘Zhao Wu is no match for Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction”. After he had written it, he still had to imprint his own stamp on it, to prove that this were on his own words.
The entire hall was filled with silence. Some of the students shook their heads in sympathy, while others felt that it was such a pity. He was the leader of the four great students, and yet he was defeated to such an extent. His status had been reduced dramatically!
”Eh?”
At this point, Xu Que was watching by the side when his expression fell and he shouted out, ”Fuck me. Zhao Ri Tian is no match for Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction? Is your name Zhao Ri Tian?”
The audience were taken aback.
Zhao Ri Tian? Who is Zhao Ri Tian?
Everyone cast their glance towards the piece of paper and were at a loss for words.
Big brother, those words are Zhao Wu, and not pronounced Zhao Ri Tian!
(T/N: The written word for ”wu” is a combination of both words ”ri” and ”tian”)
You are bloody doing this intentionally. Forget the fact that you refused to give face to young master Zhao after winning your bet. You still had to resort to such methods to instill doubt into the hearts of everyone about young master Zhao’s honor.
Young master Zhao’s pupils gleamed in cold light as he shouted out, ”Li Bai, don’t be self conceited. Today, I admit that I’ve lost. But another day will come, when you have to repay double!”
As he finished speaking, he took the piece of paper and slapped it fiercely on his chest. He then stormed off.
”Alright, alright. I shall wait for you to exact your revenge. Come come come… The mighty Zhao Ri Tian shall depart from this place towards the cold winds and frozen lake. He shall leave and never return. Today, I, Li Bai, shall play a tune of farewell for you…”
Xu Que smiled as he spoke out before retrieving a Guqin from his system inventory and hugged it tightly.
”Zhng zhng...”
His fingers started plucking the instrument as certain sounds vibrated off of it. At once, a melodious sound filled the entire hall!
Young master Zhao who had just walked out through the door paused as soon as he heard it.
The rest of the crowd opened their eyes wide and watched Xu Que in astonishment.
The mighty Zhao Ri Tian shall depart from this place towards the cold winds and frozen lake? He shall leave and never return?
He was clearly attempting to disgrace young master Zhao further. Did he mean that young master Zhao should throw himself into the lake as a form of suicide after this defeat?
