Chapter 5 (1/2)
Mist covered the lake, surrounding a s toward the East Garden
There were three people on the boat; Bai Zhi Jie wasstood at the front of the boat, their sleeves flapping gently in the wind
Zhao Ying wore a lake green gown, her face was bright as jade She asked gently,” Brother Zhuo Fei Yang, what is it between you and brother Chu Li?”
Zhuo Fei Yang furrowed his brow and thought to hiht the first time I laid my eyes on hih horse all the tiht slap! ”
”There's nothing to cause you to be at each other's throats all the time! Why are you two still like this!”
Zhao Ying smiled as she shook her head Both of the had the substance to support it Chu Li was incapable ofelse, and was therefore able to disregard Zhuo Fei Yang's hijinx, rin
A duel This was no laughing matter
The Public House ihts If anyone involved was either injured or killed, even the lightest forexiled from the house In the worst case, the offender faced a death sentence
Chu Li was the one who had , the public house wouldn't even bat an eye
”It's that aloof and arrogant look he always has!”
Zhao Ying shook her head, her lips opening to a sance this much
”Zhuo Fei Yang, are you really going to do this? ”
”Well, obviously!” Zhuo Fei Yang replied, ”If he has a death wish, I'll be happy to oblige I'll turn him into a cripple! ”
Zhao Ying furrowed her brows A mere difference in character between the two had caused them to put their lives on the line It was simply too much!
”But ould Chu Li challenge you?”
”He probably got so lee, ”There's no way that arrogant bastard can take being my Scribe”
”Ha…,” Zhao Ying shook her head, ”Zhuo Fei Yang, you don't have any reason to be this hostile towards one another, why go this far?”
”Zhao Ying, you wouldn't understand,” Zhuo Fei Yang cut her off with a wave of his hand
”You have to bare your fangs when the situation calls for it This bastard needs to die when a chance presents itself!”
”And you both even cohed
”It's a sha
Zhao Ying sighed in helplessness yet again, and decided to herself that she would be the one to stop him if it really came down to it
She secretly complained of Chu Li in her heart He was of a lower position, and ought to learn to back off when the need arises Why did he insist on duking it out with Zhuo Fei Yang?
”Master, Lady Zhao, we've arrived!” Bai Zhi Jie proclaimed
A sreeted the, as if it were swaying along with the wind Willows trees dotted the shore, spotting hanging branches that reached to the surface of the lake, elegant and graceful in the mist
”Bai Zhi Jie, wait for us on the boat” Zhuo Fei Yang ordered
”Be careful, master!” replied Bai Zhi Jie, ”This is still their domain, after all”
”Which is why I'ot up their sleeve” Zhuo Fei Yang waved his hand, dis in the face of true martial arts!”
”Yes” Bai Zhi Jie nodded and complied
The boat approached the shore to a jade chime and mallet, which were placed under a particulartree Zhao Ying moved theout throughout the East Garden in reply
Chu Li and Yen appeared The former of which was equipped with a sword around his waist, an air of sharp elegance around him
He stood on higher ground, nodding frouts after all! Welco!”
Zhuo Fei Yang's face darkened It did not feel great to be looked down upon by Chu Li, ”What's there to be afraid of from a piece of trash?” He replied sarcastically
Chu Li turned his head, ”Zhao Ying, do come in for a cup of tea!”
But Zhuo Fei Yang interjected, ”Tea? Who knows if you've poisoned it? I believe you were here to challenge in!”
”There's no need to rush”
”Don't even think about it!” Zhuo Fei Yang called out to hiht, we do it now! If you're not going to make a move, I'll consider it as a forfeit Come here and be an obedient little Scribe”
”Oh you, always reckless and impulsive!” Chu Li shook his head, ”I'd be surprised if you become somebody useful!”
”Who do you think you are, spouting all this nonsense!” Zhuo Fei Yang said as his mouth twitched into as smile
”Fighting is fine and all, but I think we need to spice it up a bit Zhuo Fei Yang! If I win, you'll be my Scribe instead!” Chu Li proposed
”Nice dreauard? Have you not awaken from your slumber, my dear Chu Li?”
”What's wrong? Think you'll lose?”
”Of course not!”
”Then there's no reason for you to reject my offer, unless you aren't as confident as you sound”
”Don't try me!”
