Chapter 210: The Plan
Seeming to know that the Commander before him was not entirely convinced, Hu Rui'an gave a slight shake of his head.
He was not surprised in the least. If their positions had been reversed and someone had said something like that to him out of nowhere, he likely would not have believed it either.
He made up his mind, and proceeded to give Fu Qiwen a broad account of everything that had happened along the way.
Having heard Hu Rui'an out, Fu Qiwen's expression stiffened, and it was clear he had been genuinely shaken.
"How is that possible?"
The deep lines already on Fu Qiwen's brow creased even further, and he said, "That Shen Juesheng is a martial world veteran whose name has been known for many years. And from what you are telling me, his current strength has advanced even further, yet he was still sent flying by the Eighth Prince with a single punch?"
It was not that Fu Qiwen doubted Hu Rui'an's word. It was that the whole thing was simply too difficult to accept.
There had been a time when Shen Juesheng, through his supreme and peerless blade art, had roamed the martial world with impunity, an existence that even the younger Fu Qiwen had held in great admiration. And yet he had been defeated by a young man of barely twenty who had only just stepped into the martial world. It was the sort of thing no one who heard it could easily believe.
Hu Rui'an looked at Fu Qiwen's bewildered and skeptical expression, and thought privately that he had not yet mentioned the matter of Murong Xiaoya, otherwise Fu Qiwen would likely have been even more shocked.
