Chapter 50: Beautiful Woman Accompanies Him in Practice and Betting

  At noon, Su Wen and Tang Long's family had a meal at a nearby restaurant.

  Yang Hui mentioned some things about Su Wen's father during the conversation, and finally kept dragging it onto Tang Xiaoyao, which made Su Wen feel extremely uncomfortable. Now he felt a little creepy whenever he saw Tang Xiaoyao, even if they were really engaged since childhood, he couldn't marry a woman like Tang Xiaoyao. However, the world seemed to be really crazy, Tang Long finally told Su Wen with a smile that he had planned to arrange a marriage between Su Donghe and his child from the beginning.

  Su Wen was speechless at the same time, and also expressed his own meaning directly.

  Tang Long didn't make things difficult for Su Wen, and he still planned to tell Su Wen everything about his father's situation in the evening. In the meantime, Tang Long also mentioned one thing: this time, because Su Wen had credited him with the merit of killing the super-criminal Fang Da Hong, the higher-ups would soon transfer him to be the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department. According to what Su Wen knew, the current director of the Provincial Public Security Department was about to retire, and as soon as Tang Long took office, it wouldn't take long for him to become the director.

  A meal, also counts as a harmonious gathering. Tang Long didn't have any official airs about him, but he did reveal a meaning, that in the future, he would definitely be looking out for Su Wen. Towards Tang Long's concern, Su Wen was still very moved, but Su Wen didn't think that Tang Long could protect him in the future. Now his stage was Jiangning City, but it wouldn't be for long. At that time, even with Tang Long's abilities, he would be powerless. Su Wen was even thinking, who knows who will be looking out for whom in the future?

  After Tang Long and his family left, Su Wen returned to her residence.

  In the afternoon, Yuxue was leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard. In the past, those young ladies who rarely left their homes seemed to often sit in the courtyard and drink tea. Now, Yuxue was no exception. What surprised Suwen was that on the table next to Yuxue were two swords. One of them was black and glossy, and he didn't know where Yuxue had found it. Suwen couldn't quite understand what Yuxue meant by this.

  "I've been waiting for you for a long time, you finally came back." Yixue put down the cup and glanced at Suwen lightly.

  "Are you waiting for me?" Su Wen frowned, could it be that he was in charge of dinner tonight?

  "Not waiting for you, who else can I wait for? Tomorrow you'll be facing Cheng Da Feng, so I'll spar with you first and hope you don't lose too badly. Yixue stood up, "Don't think my words are ridiculous, I'm telling you, Cheng Da Feng's family fist is extremely agile and unpredictable. If you want to exchange blows with him, either use brute force or be more agile than his boxing skills. Although I practice swordsmanship, when it comes to agility, I might even surpass Cheng Da Feng, so sparring with me will definitely suffice."

  "But I don't know any swordsmanship!" Su Wen bitterly smiled, just to accompany him in a match, did he still want to use his sword to practice with him.

  "The world's martial arts, the sword is a weapon, and the palm is also a weapon. Can it be that those who only know fist and footwork won't be able to fight once they use a sword? As long as you deeply understand one type of martial art, you can naturally merge the essence of that martial art into your swordsmanship." Yuxue said sternly.

  Su Wen was shocked, he knew that Yi Xue was the vice president of a swordsmanship association, but he only thought it was an organization for fencing games. However, being able to say such words seemed far from simple playfulness. Thinking about this, Su Wen had an urge to try out Yi Xue's skills, if Yi Xue's words were so full of himself and got knocked down by him, it would definitely be interesting.

  "Pick up your sword, let's get started." Yuxue was already somewhat impatient, "I charge by the hour when I guide others in practicing swordsmanship at the Swordsmanship Association, starting at 10,000 yuan per hour. Today is a special case for you, one free hour of practice, no charge."

  Su Wen heard this and smiled instead: "If you can really make me convinced, I will find you to practice for an hour every day from now on, and pay you double the price."

  Yi Xue was taken aback for a moment, and only then did she remember that Su Wen didn't take money seriously at all. Talking to Su Wen about money was basically pointless. Knowing this, she didn't say anything more, and the outcome would be clear soon enough. If she could defeat Su Wen, he would naturally be convinced. If he couldn't defeat Su Wen, saying anything else would be useless. In the world of martial artists, strength is the only thing that truly convinces people.

  "Cut the nonsense, let's begin!" Yuxue pointed her sword straight at Suwen. She was wearing a white dress that fluttered in the wind, and it was quite mesmerizing.

  "Alright, let's do this!" Su Wen secretly admired Yi Xue's beauty. Yi Xue planned to use him as a sparring partner, and he couldn't disappoint her kindness. However, holding the black sword in his hand, it somehow felt like holding a fire poker. He also didn't know where Yi Xue had gotten this sword from.

  Yi Xue's body was as light as a feather, and she shot towards Su Wen like an arrow, her sword pointing straight at Su Wen's throat. Although Su Wen had never used a sword before, he felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the cold glint on the tip of the sword, and he became very serious. He applied the techniques of the "Separating Tendons and Bones" to the sword, making the black sword incredibly light and agile, and with just one casual strike, he perfectly blocked Yi Xue's sword.

  "Hehe!"

  Su Wen felt a little proud in his heart, having easily blocked Yuxue's sword. It seemed that using a sword wasn't so difficult after all. But this thought didn't last for even a second, as he saw Yuxue's sword start to spin around, a numbing force causing his hand to become unstable, and the sword in his hand flew out directly. He wanted to grab onto the sword, but feeling the coldness on his neck, he was stunned, unable to move. If he moved even slightly, he might be finished off.

  "This sword, how is it?" Yuxue's light voice came over.

  "Not bad, really not bad." Su Wen clapped his hands and sincerely praised, "I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so impressive. Now I think that Swordsmanship Association of yours isn't just a name. However, the reason you were able to easily defeat me with this one move is because I'm not familiar with using swords. Next, I'll fight you bare-handed, and if you can still defeat me, then I'll truly admit defeat."

  Yi Xue furrowed her brow upon hearing this, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

  Su Wen saw this, the technique of separating muscles and bones was applied, and with just a light flick, Yixue's long sword was deflected to one side. Su Wen took advantage of the opportunity to open up some distance between himself and Yixue, looking at Yixue as he made the starting gesture of Tai Chi Fist.

  "Come on!"

  "Be careful, this is a real sword."

  Su Wen naturally knew these things, but he still had some confidence.

  Yi Xue's sword stabbed forward, this time with even more mysterious power. However, Su Wen didn't care at all and lightly slapped his palm over, directly hitting the hilt of Yi Xue's sword. Yi Xue felt a massive force, and his hand holding the sword involuntarily sank down. But in that instant, Su Wen saw Yi Xue rotate his sword and thrust it upwards again. Such a cunning sword technique couldn't be executed by anyone but a master who had deeply studied the art of swordsmanship.

  Su Wen was startled and took two steps back, but as soon as he steadied himself, Yixue's body made a swift turn, and her sword came stabbing out again, still aimed straight at his chest. Su Wen was frightened - who had Yixue learned her swordsmanship from? How could she produce such moves in any situation? These two attacking sword techniques were not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

  Su Wen was shocked, but his hands didn't slow down. He took three steps in one breath and one step out of breath, directly using the Three Talents Step. Then, he suddenly grasped Yuxue's jade-like hand. Yuxue's face changed color as she hadn't expected Su Wen's speed to be so fast. Just when she was about to throw her sword over to her other hand, a strange force came from Su Wen's hand, which instantly made her slender hand lose its strength.

  "Bang!"

  The long sword fell to the ground, and Yixue's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  It's clear that Su Wen has won. However, instead of being proud of his victory, he looked at Yi Xue with great admiration and said, "I concede, your techniques are far superior to mine."

  "You've won." Yuxue said calmly.

  "This can't be considered a win, if our strength and speed were the same, I wouldn't have lasted three moves under your hands. What kind of victory is this? We agreed to only compare the agility of our techniques, but I ended up winning with my own strength and speed. If I were facing Cheng Da Feng, this little advantage would be nothing, Cheng Da Feng's speed and power are definitely far superior to mine." Su Wen looked very open-minded, a real man doesn't make excuses for losing.

  "If my strength and speed were on par with Cheng Dafeng's, I could take him down in just a few moves." Yuxue suddenly blurted out.

  "You're strong!" Su Wen couldn't help but smile, "But after all, you are a woman, your speed and strength are far inferior to those of men. Wait until tomorrow when I make my move, and see how I defeat Cheng Daifeng."

  "You're still not good enough!" Yuxue shook her head.

  "What if?" Su Wen smiled silently.

  "There's no chance of winning, the gap is right there, unless you have a small universe explosion at that time." Yixue provocatively glanced at Suwen.

  "Dare or not?" Su Wen came with interest, he really wanted to see the look of Yuxue's stunned expression, and if he could win some rewards along the way, it would be even better.

  "What's the bet?" Yuxue asked casually.

  "If I win against Cheng Dafeng, you have to kiss me in front of everyone. If I lose, I'll do whatever you tell me to from now on." Su Wen was also making a heavy bet.

  "It's okay." Yuxue didn't hesitate at all and just agreed like that.

  Su Wen, who had thought of many excuses, was directly stunned. This woman really wasn't ordinary in terms of confidence. After Yuxue finished speaking, she looked at Su Wen and said: "Continue, I still need to accompany you for an hour of practice, but from now on, you can only use a speed and strength similar to mine."
