Chapter 452 - 451
Master Lü took a deep breath and said, "Chen Shao, I understand your nature, and I’m not trying to pressure you with the rules of the Ten Great Families. The main issue is that the other party is simply too arrogant, but neither Young Master Huang nor I am a match for him; we’ve suffered a significant loss."
"If the other party were from Capital City, then that would be it, because after all, we’re all from the same circle. But he’s from Pingnan Province, and both Young Master Huang and I are from Capital City. The two of us losing face is like dishonoring our Capital City circle."
"We truly had no other choice but to come and ask for Chen Shao’s help. Regardless, we must reclaim our Capital City circle’s reputation!"
Chen Shao shook his head, "Don’t make it sound so noble. I have never been a part of the dandies of Capital City. For this matter, you should seek out my elder brother; he would undoubtedly be happy to help you. As for me, I’m not at all interested in upholding this ’Capital City circle’ of yours!"
Master Lü was taken aback. By bringing up the Capital City circle, he was trying to put pressure on Chen Shao. But now that Chen Shao didn’t acknowledge himself as part of the Capital City circle, he was left without a strategy.
Young Master Huang frowned and then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Chen Shao, you are known as one of the top three masters among the young generation in Capital City. But this ranking only holds within Capital City; once outside, who knows how far back you’d be in line. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to beat that man, and is that why you refuse to take action?"
Chen Shao laughed uproariously, looking up, "You’ve grown up, haven’t you? Learned to use reverse psychology? Tsk tsk, interesting. Now that you put it that way, I am indeed curious to meet this person who’s made you two tumble and flee. Come on, tell me, how many moves did it take for him to defeat you? If it’s more than three moves, then nevermind, I’m not interested in meeting him!"
Young Master Huang’s face chilled even further. Chen Shao was clearly looking down on him. Yet, he had to admit that Chen Shao indeed had the credentials to do so.
"He beat me with just one move!" Young Master Huang said gravely.
