Book 2: Chapter 50: Han Qianye
Vol 2 Ch 50 Han Qianye
In a spacious private room of the Black Market, a middle-aged man with an authoritative demeanor sat quietly, his eyes closed as he rested.
Beside him sat a stunningly beautiful woman. If Zhang Xuan were here, he would recognize her instantly—Sun Lianxiang, the daughter of the rogue cultivator Sun Chengyou, whom he had once encountered in White Roc City. She was now the newly-wed consort of Prince Pingyuan, her noble status evident in her ability to casually spend two million Source Coins to save her father.
"Have we still not found out who exactly wants to duel the prince?" Sun Lianxiang asked with a slight frown.
Three days ago, the Black Market had announced someone challenging the prince to a duel, but the identity of the challenger had remained undisclosed. With the few experts in Hanyuan City capable of such a feat, it should not have been difficult to find out who it was. Yet, despite thorough investigation, no leads emerged, as if this mysterious expert had appeared out of thin air.
"Reporting to the princess, no news yet… Not only that, but even the odds haven’t been published," replied a black-clad subordinate, bowing.
Sun Lianxiang’s displeasure was apparent. "What is Fu Yingying up to? Does she not want this duel to happen?"
The prince, a martial arts fanatic, had been eagerly seeking opportunities to push his limits in battle. Having a challenger appear was a rare chance, and it would be a disaster if the other party backed out out of fear.
"Look! The matchup list has been posted!" someone shouted outside the room.
