838 Saving Pei Lang (3)
“Thank you, Brother.” Xie Jingxing smiled. “Short dagger will do just fine.”
Shen Qiu snorted. “Then don’t blame me for not reminding you. The weapon you chose is really too lousy.”
Xie Jingxing smiled.
Although he was wearing a mask, the smile on his lips always seemed to be mocking and could easily provoke people. Shen Qiu immediately picked up a spear and pointed it at Xie Jingxing.
Luo Xueyan covered her face.
“Let’s not waste time, Brother,” Xie Jingxing said politely.
“You sure can talk big. Let me see what you are made of,” Shen Qiu rushed over with his spear.
Many years later, the mighty young general Shen became the mighty old general Shen. His life was filled with military achievements that made countless people envious. He had won countless battles and was known as the God of War. He was respected and admired by all martial artists… However, he still remembered this afternoon clearly. This would become an indelible memory… and humiliation for him.
Before anyone could see what was going on, Shen Qiu rushed over with his spear. The two of them quickly engaged in a fight and then separated. Shen Qiu’s spear fell to the ground, and Prince Rui held the dagger between two fingers and placed it firmly on Shen Qiu’s neck.
Everyone in the Shen family was dumbfounded.
Prince Rui let go and played with the dagger in his fingers. He looked at Shen Qiu with a faint smile and said, “Thank you for letting me win, Brother.”
Shen Qiu’s face immediately turned red from embarrassment.
Everyone in the Shen family looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. Luo Tan muttered, “Cousin Qiu… lost?”
Everyone was shocked.
Among the younger generation of Ming Qi, Shen Qiu’s martial arts were ranked among the top three. Firstly, he had been personally taught by Shen Xin since he was young. The Shen family had been a military family for generations, and there were many martial arts books stored in their house. Shen Qiu had accumulated a lot of knowledge. Secondly, when Shen Qiu was young, he had been brought along by Shen Qiu to fight on the battlefield.
However, Shen Qiu’s spear was actually knocked off by Prince Rui. Prince Rui’s dagger was still pressed against Shen Qiu’s neck.
Shen Qiu gritted his teeth. He was indignant, but he had no choice but to say, “I admit defeat.”
Luo Tan was the first to clap and shout, “Brother-in-law, you’re amazing! You can beat my Cousin Qiu. You’re now the best in Ming Qi!”
Luo Ling quickly covered Luo Tan’s mouth. Luo Tan was Shen Qiu’s cousin after all, but she was cheering for outsiders. Shen Qiu would probably be even sadder when he heard that. He looked at Luo Xueyan uneasily, thinking that Luo Xueyan must be unhappy that her son had lost. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw that Luo Xueyan had already walked quickly to Prince Rui’s side and said, “Jingxing, are you so good at martial arts?”
“I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was young, but it’s mostly for performance.” Prince Rui smiled and said, “Unlike Brother Qiu who used martial arts in real battles.”
“You don’t have to be so humble.” Luo Xueyan said, “If you have the ability to be proud of yourself, you should be proud of yourself. This is what a young man should be like.”
Shen Miao was speechless, thinking to herself that Xie Jingxing was already the proudest person in the world. Humble was definitely not the word to describe him.
Luo Xueyan and Luo Tan asked Xie Jingxing many questions about martial arts. Xie Jingxing’s attitude was just right, and he seemed to know everything. Luo Xueyan was pleasantly surprised. After Xie Jingxing left, everyone dispersed. Luo Xueyan even muttered, “Prince Rui is not bad. Not to mention his status, just his courage, talent, appearance, and character are outstanding in the world.”
