The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 103 - An offer from Ho Shing
A 40-year-old man with a dense and stocky body part came to them, just as the presence of the man made the three disciples from the East Wind Mountain sect bow their heads respectfully.
His sudden presence made Zhuan Ang recall Xin Fai's words, it was true that he had not lied if their teacher had been watching their fight.
While Gong Li could only clench his hands tightly when thinking about how this master felt when his two disciples lost to another sect disciple.
After paying their respects they raised their heads, looking at Ho Shing–, one of the elders of the East Wind Mountain sect as well as their teacher who was the representative in this tournament, put on a face so cold, for a moment they were depressed by that look. The atmosphere also helps make the atmosphere uncomfortable.
Ho Shing's face gradually grew friendly as his gaze fell on Xin Fai but the hospitality was completely insincere, Xin Fai could feel the irritation behind his gaze.
After things went quiet, Ho Shing finally opened his voice. "I'm sorry for my students who have been looking for trouble with you."
Xin Fai answered well. "It's okay, Senior. I've forgiven them."
Xin Fai's reply made Ren Yuan snort in annoyance, in front of Ho Shing he did not want to look low. Self-esteem is the number one priority for a girl like her.
"Ha! He's the one who's guilty of disturbing our training!" throwing it while pointing at Xin Fai, the person he pointed at frowned until his forehead doubled.
"Yes, Teacher! He has purposely humiliated us!"
Xin Fai was inexhaustible when Zhuan Ang co-piled the situation, even though he thought the young man had learned from his mistakes and would not repeat it but it felt like all that was just a missed estimate.
"Is that what my student said?"
Xin Fai gritted her teeth as she looked at Ren Yuan and Zhuan Ang as if she wanted to eat them.
"And also teacher, he broke my sword in two, this is a grandfather-given sword and the price is very expensive. Actually we didn't fight seriously but he broke my beloved weapon on purpose." Gong Li also cornered Xin Fai, making their teacher squint even more.
Xin Fai from the beginning had indeed memorized that the nobles besides being cunning in political schemes, they had a soul full of drama, Xin Fai should have realized that they would do everything possible to corner him.
Ho Shing raised his eyebrows like he believed the words of his students. "You did it on purpose?"
"Alright, well you guys did deliberately make it as if you were the victim and I did it. Really shameless..." Xin Fai was annoyed. He turned his gaze to Ho Shing who was now putting on an offended face.
"Don't Senior have seen for themselves those who are looking for trouble with me? About humiliating it I did it to teach them a lesson, and also about the sword I broke, he himself used it to fend off my attacks."
"If I hadn't done that, Zhuan Ang would have been hurt!" Gong Li again cornered him.
"I'm not serious about it, why are you blaming me?!"
The veins on Xin Fai's forehead showed signs of him being engulfed in emotion, Xin Fai as well as possible held back so as not to eat their words which would end up making things worse.
As an intermediary, Ho Shing would obviously defend his students and he was also actually upset that these two proud disciples had lost heavily at the hands of Xin Fai.
"I've seen your fight before, and what if I told you that you're guilty?" Ho Shing was like challenging him.
'Master disciple is the same no difference...' Xin Fai cursed inwardly, she asked back.
Ho Shing folded both hands in front of the chest while explaining. "First, you purposely embarrassed Zhuan Ang in front of Miss Ren, I was able to see him from the beginning."
"Secondly, you should have stopped attacking when Gong Li's sword was about to break, I'm sure you must have known how valuable the sword was.."
"And third, because I don't like your style. Those are your three mistakes."
Xin Fai cursed inwardly at Ho Shing's words, after knowing what kind of character that man Xin Fai no longer intended to be disinclined by him.
"Oh, really? But I don't think it's all my fault. Precisely looking around again instead of the mistakes of your students much more than me?"
"Hm... It's pretty hard..." Ho Shing's face seemed to think hard but behind it was a stratagem, Xin Fai could read it from his sneaky face.
Xin Fai sounded a snort in place, she took a breath after. "Just tell me straight to the point, what does Senior want from me? It's even complicated like this..."
Xin Fai's words made the man turn to him in wonder, he was a bit deathly pale afterwards. Ho Shing guessed that Xin Fai was a mind reader. Feeling that his strategy was known to Ho Shing finally immediately expressed his intention.
"You know I feel so embarrassed to see my two students lose to you, even though they are the heroes of my sect."
"Hm? So then?"
"Since we don't know your side or ours to apologize for yet, I have one offer."
Xin Fai began to feel this man's poisonous stratagem as he expected, he realized that Ho Shing's strength was equivalent to that of a stage 5 great swordsman and was soon to become a great swordsman. His fighting experience is also quite a lot from most people.
"I want to determine it by a fight, just you and me? Hows it? Do you agree?"
The offer made his three students feel disbelief, a Ho Shing blatantly challenged fighting a figure much younger than him. This is a surprise for them considering Ho Shing is a cold-blooded man who never even once invited people to fight.
Seeing their teacher taking Xin Fai to fight already explained that Ho Shing recognized Xin Fai's strength, the man smiled faintly waiting for his interlocutor's answer.
Xin Fai thought about it for a while as she measured the strength of the man before her, she actually almost coughed when she heard the offer.
If you look again at the power of Ho Shing equivalent or stronger above Zhang Bingjie, the enemy he had faced before.
Xin Fai let out a slow breath while gazing up, Ho Shing including the man who had a high body size forced Xin Fai to look up to be able to see his face. He said as he pulled the sword from its sheath.
"Well like the deal, if I lose then I apologize and vice versa. I hope you guys hold on to that deal later."
"Woah, I really didn't think you'd accept my offer.." Ho Shing clapped his hands in astonishment, he thought that taking Xin Fai to fight would make the child tremble and apologize to them but the opposite happened. Even Xin Fai was getting ready to draw his sword first.
The sound of the applause made Xin Fai's heart hot, for some reason she felt it was a mockery.
"Keep your praise for Senior, it's getting dark we'd better get this done right away."
