"It is said that many people have placed heavy bets on me to win!" Ye Gucheng suddenly said.”
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said,"The odds on you winning are seven to one."”
Ye Gucheng looked thoughtful and said,""Of course, there are people who bet on Ximen Chuixue's victory?”
"Not bad," Lu Xiaofeng said.
"If I lose, won't these people be able to reap huge profits?" Ye Gucheng asked.”
"You think the person who framed you is the one who bet on Ximen Chuixue?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.”
"You don't think so?" Ye Gucheng looked at Lu Xiaofeng and slowly misled him.
Lu Xiaofeng also shut his mouth.
Although he didn't say it out loud, he knew in his heart that it wasn't because this person not only framed Ye Gucheng, but also Master Sun and Ouyang Qing. He must have a more terrifying scheme and a greater goal. He definitely did not just want to win this bet.
Ye Gucheng stood up again, opened the window and looked at the bright moon outside. He murmured,""It's already September 14th.”
"Are you going to accept the challenge as scheduled?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.”
"Do I look like someone who breaks his promise?" Ye Gucheng said coldly.”
"But your injury…" Lu Xiaofeng said.
Ye Gucheng smiled again, his smile was very sad,""There's no cure for his injuries, and he's already dead. Since he's going to die, isn't it a great thing to die under Ximen Chuixue's sword?”
Lu Xiaofeng said,"You…you can fight another time."”
"No!" Ye Gucheng said firmly.”
"Why?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"I've never changed a word I've said in my life," said Ye Gucheng.”
"Don't forget to correct your mistakes once!" Lu Xiaofeng said.”
"There is a special reason!" Ye Gucheng said.”
"What's the reason?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"You don't have to know!" Ye Gucheng said with a dark face.”
"I must know!" Lu Xiaofeng said.”
Ye Gucheng sneered.
Lu Xiaofeng said," Because I'm not only Ximen Chuixue's friend, but also your friend. I have the right to know."”
Ye Gucheng slowly closed the window and pushed it open. The moon was still bright outside. He didn't turn around, as if he didn't want Lu Xiaofeng to see the expression on his face. After a long time, he suddenly said,""Do you know that he already has a child?”
Lu Xiaofeng jumped up and cried out,""What did you say?"
Ye Gucheng didn't say it again because he knew Lu Xiaofeng heard him clearly.
Of course, Lu Xiaofeng had heard it clearly, but he couldn't believe it.""You mean Ximen Chuixue already has a child?”
Ye Gucheng nodded. "Is Sun Xiuqing pregnant?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.”
Ye Gucheng nodded again. Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. What should a man do if he found out that the woman he loved was pregnant with his child before the battle of life and death?
Lu Xiaofeng finally understood." So it was him who begged you to change the date. He wanted to arrange Sun Xiuqing's future life first. He didn't have the confidence to beat you."”
"He is a responsible man, and he knows that he has too many enemies."”
Lu Xiaofeng said,"If he dies in your hands, his enemies will definitely not let his woman and child live."”
"He never wanted to ask for help when he was alive, and even in death, he would never ask for help to protect his wife."”
"So he wants you to give him a month's grace so that he can arrange his funeral."”
"If you were me, would you agree?" Ye Gucheng asked.”
Lu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh. He finally understood why Ximen Chuixue had suddenly disappeared. Of course, he had to find an absolutely secret place to settle his wife down so that she could give birth to his child safely. He definitely could not let anyone know about this place.
Ye Gucheng looked up at the bright moon in the sky." On the night of the full moon, at the peak of the purple gold…"
"The summit of the forbidden city?" Lu Xiaofeng was visibly moved. Are you really going to fight on the roof of Taihe Palace in the Forbidden City?”
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was the throne room, the highest hall in the Forbidden City. The summit of the forbidden city was, of course, on Taihe Palace. The hall was dozens of feet high, and the roof was covered with slippery glazed tiles. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Moreover, it was the place where the Emperor received the congratulations of all officials. The security was so tight that no other place in the world could compare. These two people had chosen this place to be their battleground.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said with a bitter smile,""You guys are a little too bold.”
"If you're afraid, you don't have to go." Ye Gucheng said lightly.”
"You chose this place because you didn't want others to watch the battle?" Lu Xiaofeng said.”
"At least this battle isn't for others to see!" Ye Gucheng said.”
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask, What is the purpose of this battle?”
"Just because he is Ximen Chuixue and I am Ye Gucheng!"”
This wasn't a true answer, but it was enough to explain everything. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were fated to compete, so there was no need for any other reason. The two lofty swordsmen were like two meteors. If they met, they would definitely create earth-shattering sparks. Although these sparks would disappear in an instant, they were enough to shine for thousands of years!
