Chapter 390: Huang Qian-er's Feelings!

After some contemplation, Li Siye decided to just go along with things for the moment, so he turned around and followed Wang Chong into the Deflecting Blade Manor as well. Since Wang Chong had already deployed him here, he couldn't return to the army at the moment, anyway.

So until Wang Chong fulfilled his promise and sent him to the Western Protectorate Manor, he would have to stay here for the time being.

And if this fellow dared lie to him, he would make sure to teach the little punk how fearsome his wrath could be! So what if Wang Chong was a scion? All of that meant nothing to him!

”To think that huge guy would be convinced by gongzi so easily. I thought that there would be a huge fight!”

”Heh, look at that fellow's size! A Wootz steel sword forged to his physique should at least be twice as large as an ordinary one. That's several tens of thousands of gold taels over there, would you reject the offer if you were him?”

”Stop spouting nonsense over there. When have you encountered anything which gongzi has been unable to resolve?”

”Indeed. Abutong is the son of Great General Abusi, but he was still subdued and hung on a tree, and he didn't even dare to retaliate after that!”...

Discussions could be heard from the crowd. Most expressed disappointment after seeing the matter resolved so easily, but there was one question that plagued their minds. Why did gongzi have such a high appraisal of that huge fellow?

Li Siye? They had never heard of this person before!

If the other party was truly capable, surely his name wouldn't go unnoticed in the capital. Yet, Wang Chong was using a Wootz steel sword to get on good terms with him!

During the discussions, no one noticed a beautiful young man possessing extraordinarily fair skin and slender limbs watching the entire scene by the corner.

”It seems like that fellow... does possess some capability. To think that he would be able to overcome this crisis as well!” Xu Chong, or to be more exact, the disguised Xu Qiqin, gazed at the entrance of the Deflecting Blade Manor with a peculiar glint in her eyes.

She had been around the past few days while that towering man made a fuss. However, she didn't get involved in the matter, choosing to just watch the spectacle from afar.

It was not out of disdain for Wang Chong that she chose not to help, but because Xu Qiqin had noticed the exceptionally powerful military aura that the man commanded.

There had been many complaints in the Deflecting Blade Manor during the past few days over this matter. Everyone was saying that when Wang Chong returned, they would get to deploy the experts of their own clans to teach that bastard a lesson, so as to vent their frustrations.

But Xu Qiqin had always viewed the fellows who made those comments with scorn and disdain, thinking that they were simply too incapable.

They didn't even bother to gauge the depths of the other party's capability before challenging him, thinking that they could win just by outnumbering him.

If they were to really do so, Xu Qiqin was certain that they would have spent the next dozen days lying in bed.

Even the old nanny by Princess Ni Huang's side was unable to subdue that man, how could a bunch of youngsters possibly be a match for him?

”Young mistress, it seems like the show is over,” a maid standing beside Xu Qiqin remarked.

”Hmph, what's the hurry? I don't believe that I won't be able to defeat him!” Xu Qiqin replied confidently.

While Wang Chong was carrying out his mission, she hadn't been slacking around either.

Over the past month, she had been devoting her time to refining her chess skill. Under her hard work, her proficiency on the chessboard had risen several notches.

No matter what, she was determined to destroy Wang Chong this time around, and return the humiliation from before.

”... Also, lass, how many times have I told you not to call me young mistress?” Xu Qiqin berated as she slapped the latter on her head.

”Yes, young mistress!! I-I mean, yes, gongzi!” Under the slap, the maid immediately answered obediently. Nevertheless, a slight smile still remained on her face.

The master and servant followed behind the crowd into the Deflecting Blade Manor, and after turning some corridors, they arrived at the majestic Chess Hall and headed right to the second floor.

It didn't take long for the mess in the Deflecting Blade Manor to be cleaned up. In just a few short moments, a huge amount of resources were transported into manor.

Those broken tables and chairs were replaced, and seasonal fruits of differing colors were laid out all over the manor, allowing any passers-by to take a bite of them.

The archery field, cavalry field, training grounds... These were also tidied up.

This was the first time Huang Qian-er had visited the Deflecting Blade Manor, so everything she saw felt extremely novel to her.

Within the Three Great Training Camps, the most popular area at the very moment was none other than the Deflecting Blade Manor. It had drawn in a huge number of recruits, not just from Kunwu, but from Shenwei and Longwei as well.

Its reputation was synonymous with prestige, not just because of Wang Chong's halo, but due to the existence of the spirit vein behind it as well.

More importantly, prestigious nobles from the upper echelons of the capital were gathered in here, and even an esteemed princess was a frequent guest here.

However, what was unique about the Deflecting Blade Manor was that even youths from humble backgrounds were accepted into it! Rumors had it that this was the intention of Duke Jiu.
