Chapter 298: The Duel
Huo Mu's young face was drawn tight. She gripped her silver spear, taller than she was, in one hand, a flash of shame and indignation crossing her dark eyes.
She had lost to the white-robed girl in fewer than three exchanges, and her only regret was that her natural gifts were not greater and her spear technique not stronger, that she had brought further disgrace to a Huo family already in decline.
Even so, this proud and spirited young girl still wanted to try again, with the fierce determination of someone who grew more resolute with every defeat.
At that, Huo Mu gripped her spear and stepped forward.
But in the next moment, Huo Shan reached out and stopped her, furrowing his brow, "Do not act rashly. You are no match for her. No matter how many more rounds you go, the result will not change. You will only end up injured."
At those words, Huo Mu gripped her spear, and her expression went through several shifts before she finally lowered her head quietly.
She understood perfectly well that fighting again would only end in defeat, and would only embolden Dugu Yan and the others.
She was just too weak.
But right at that moment, an unhurried voice drifted into her ear, "Do you want to win?"
