Chapter 439: Wang Chong's Condition!

Xu Qiqin's complexion was terrible. The surrounding cheers were unquestionably putting a sort of pressure on her.
”Wang Chong, don't get too smug! You've only won one game. There will be a day when I defeat you!” Xu Qiqin coldly said.
”Haha, that's a matter for the future. But right now, we have another pressing matter. Xu Qiqin, you didn't forget about our wager, right?”
Wang Chong tossed around a white stone, a smirk on his face.
Xu Qiqin's eyes narrowed and she seemed to almost stop breathing. She had suddenly recalled a most disastrous matter.
Wang Chong really had promised that if he lost, he would announce to everyone that he was inferior to her. But similarly, if she lost, she would have to agree to a condition of his.
A disastrous condition!
Observing Xu Qiqin's posture, Wang Chong became nervous and immediately asked, ”Xu Qiqin, you won't go back on your words, right?”
Although no one dared to break a gentlemen's agreement, Xu Qiqin was a woman. If she proclaimed that she was a woman and not a gentleman, and didn't need to respect an agreement between men, Wang Chong really wouldn't be able to do anything.
”Hmph, Wang Chong, you also shouldn't look down on others. Although the Xu Clan can't compare to your Wang Clan, the descendants of the Xu Clan don't make a habit of breaking their promises. Wang Chong, state your condition. But I will warn you, don't go too far! At worst, we'll all die together!”
Xu Qiqin's heart was filled with regret. If she had known of her defeat, she would not have exposed her identity, but now it was too late. The crowd had already seen that she was a girl.
She had seen the response just now. If Wang Chong made some excessive demand that intended to take advantage of her, she wouldn't be able to do a thing.
The Xu Clan couldn't just cast aside this sort of person!
”Damn it!”
Xu Qiqin truly wanted to give herself two hearty slaps. It was too late to say anything now, but she still couldn't hold herself back. She had wanted to beat Wang Chong too much!
”What in the world are you thinking!”
Wang Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Xu Qiqin's aggrieved appearance. Even if he was completely immoral, he wouldn't be able to propose such a condition in front of so many people, right?
”Relax, I'm not as filthy as you imagine!”
Wang Chong extended a finger and confidently said, ”I only have one condition, an extremely simple one: I only need ten years of your time! In these ten years, you have to work for my sake and carry out my orders! And after those ten years, you'll regain your freedom. Xu Qiqin, can you do it?”
Buzz!
The crowd in the Chess Hall was perplexed. Even Old Eagle and Wei Anfang were dumbfounded. No one had expected Wang Chong to make this sort of demand.
”What sort of abilities does this girl have? Young Master actually regards her so highly?” Old Eagle looked in a daze at the nearby daughter of the Xu Clan.
Bystanders might not be able to tell, but Old Eagle had followed Wang Chong for long enough. Wang Chong was clearly concealing a high regard for this girl behind his words. Otherwise, he would not have so seriously given out this condition.
Those who could 'enjoy' such a treatment were extremely few, and not even Old Eagle or Solitary Wolf had been included in this group. Old Eagle was left astounded.
”Bastard! Wang Chong, you were scheming against me!” Xu Qiqin bellowed in fury, startling the crowd. Xu Qiqin's face flushed and her eyes seemed to spit fire. In her daze, she had suddenly understood something and now gave Wang Chong a vicious stare.
This sudden reaction even startled Wang Chong.
”You already knew who I was long ago, right? Bastard, you were intentionally scheming against me!” Xu Qiqin glared at Wang Chong. The moment she heard Wang Chong's 'condition', Xu Qiqin suddenly understood many things.
Wang Chong's so-called condition was not some idea that would randomly pop up. It was more like the result of a long scheme.
In other words, Wang Chong had already known who she was before she had announced her identity. Using this point, he had lured her into making a wager with him.
How could Xu Qiqin not be angry at this?
From start to finish, she had been in Wang Chong's scheme. Xu Qiqin even suspected that Wang Chong had seen through her identity the day she arrived at this mountain.
When she recalled how humiliated she had felt the last time she had challenged Wang Chong in the Chess Hall, Xu Qiqin grew even more certain that Wang Chong had done it on purpose, and the rage continued to build up in her body.
”Young Lady, what are you saying?”
That abnormally smart maid from the Xu Clan was actually the first to be perplexed. Based on what her young lady was saying, this Wang Chong had known about their identities from the start.
But how could this be possible?
Her young lady had not revealed her identity once, and the difference between the woman and the male disguise was incredibly large. Even those people in Longwei Training Camp that the young lady knew well might not be able to recognize her, much less strangers.
Unless Wang Chong had seen her young lady dress as a man before?
But how was that possible? This was the young lady's first time doing this!
Hearing Xu Qiqin 'dishonoring' his young master, Old Eagle was the first to speak up. ”Lady Xu, don't speak nonsense. How could my young master be scheming against you?”
”You!” Xu Qiqin fumed. Although she had no evidence, she was sure that her intuition was on the mark.
”Xu Qiqin, you don't plan to go back on your words, do you?”
