She crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned against the door as she looked at Yan Zhenting. Even if Ben won, she wouldn't agree to his proposal.
Their relationship was purely friendship. If Lu Qingyun was really interested in Ben, she would've said yes a long time ago. Yan Zhenting wouldn't even be here.
Yan Zhenting was well aware of this. Lu Qingyun had no interest in Ben.
This meeting was purely for work, but Ben had always been lusting after Lu Qingyun. This was something he couldn't tolerate.
Since he had already agreed to the duel, it wasn't Third Master Yan's style to be afraid before the duel had even started.
He had to win this duel, and he had to do it beautifully. He had to convince Ben that he wouldn't pester Lu Qingyun anymore.
"It's just a duel. Why would I be afraid? Let's wait and see!" He immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
Yan Zhenting waited until they were a distance away before turning his head to look behind him. In a low voice, he instructed, "Assistant Lin, prepare the protective gear and sword."
He had to hurry up and practice. Even if he only had one day, he couldn't afford to waste it.
City center, Imperial Fencing Hall.
"Hahaha, you accept the challenge of fencing?" Jiang Yikai couldn't help but laugh. "This is the first time I've encountered such a unique challenge."
Yan Zhenting put on the protective gear and gave him a look. "You're still laughing. I called you here to practice with me, not to listen to your complaints."
Jiang Yikai quickly waved his hands. "Brother, you've got the wrong person. I'm not good at boxing or fencing."
At most, he could cheer him on from the side. This kind of ancient European competition required a professional teacher.
"Ah, why don't I introduce you to a coach?" Jiang Yikai greeted him with a mischievous smile.
Suddenly, a person wearing a helmet and protective gear walked over. "This is the best fencing teacher in the Fencing Dojo. If he teaches you, I guarantee that you'll win tomorrow."
Yan Zhenting glanced at the man. How could he be the teacher of this fencing club with such an unassuming height?
"Cut the crap, let's get started!" As he spoke, he put on the protective shield and began to practice with his sword in hand.
According to the rules of the competition, as long as one could hit the opponent five times within four minutes, he would win. Although Yan Zhenting had little contact with fencing, with his ability, he should be able to learn it quickly.
Beep! Beep! In less than a minute, Yan Zhenting had been hit several times. His opponent was simply killing him in an instant, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
This was a well-practiced technique. Almost every stab of the sword hit a vital point. It was fast, very, and accurate. This technique actually looked a little familiar.
He tore off the protective mask on his face and stared at the so-called teacher opposite him. His gaze was slightly cold. "Stop pretending. I know it's you."
The teacher took off her mask, flicked her elegant long hair, and smiled seductively. "You guessed it so quickly."
Jiang Lingshuang put away the sword in her hand and couldn't help but shake her head. "Zhenting, you can't continue like this. You'll definitely lose tomorrow."
He remembered that it was Jiang Lingshuang who had dragged him to this fencing club. He had almost forgotten that she was an expert in fencing.
But how did she know that he was practicing here? He looked at Jiang Yikai with a gloomy face.
He had no choice. Jiang Lingshuang had been asking him about Yan Zhenting's whereabouts for the past two days.
After all, they had known each other since childhood. If he didn't tell her, he would lose face. Thus, he had no choice but to tell her that Yan Zhenting was coming to the club.
Lu Qingyun originally minded that Jiang Lingshuang wanted to meet him, but since she was already here, he couldn't chase her away.
"I heard that you're going to have a fencing duel with one of Lu Qingyun's suitors?" She looked at him with a jealous expression.
Yan Zhenting didn't hide anything. "Yes. No matter what, I must win tomorrow."
Jiang Lingshuang couldn't wait for him to lose to that foreign man tomorrow. That way, Lu Qingyun could leave as soon as possible.
Although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face. "Zhenting, I also hope that you can win, so let me teach you."
Jiang Lingshuang wanted to teach him personally. Instead of finding a sparring partner or coach, it was better for her to teach him personally.
"Okay!" Yan Zhenting thought for a few seconds before agreeing. The two of them began intensive training.
It was getting late, and the fencing club was about to close. In order to buy time, Yan Zhenting deliberately extended the closing time so that he could continue to use the venue for training.
The lights in the fencing club were still on. Lu Qingyun knew that he was still there. She put on her clothes and went to the training ground.
Raisa, who was following beside her, was still laughing at her. "Miss, you said that you didn't care. In fact, you still want the young master to win."
You could tell who this woman was thinking just by looking at her actions. She had said that it was for work, but now her work was not as important as the competition.
"Don't make fun of me. I'm thinking about the big picture. If he really loses, do you think I'll agree to marry him?"
Lu Qingyun could always find a lot of reasons. Raisa had to nod. "Miss Ruoruo is right. Miss is indeed a prime minister."
"What prime minister?" Lu Qingyun looked at her in confusion. Raisa counted with her fingers. "A prime minister is always right, always right, always right, always right."
Lin Ruoruo's summary was very incisive. In front of Sister Lu, no reason could be questioned, because Sister Lu was always right.
"Hahaha!" Lu Qingyun was amused by her words. As soon as the two of them walked to the training hall, they heard the sound of fencing coming from the opposite side.
Yan Zhenting was in the middle of an assault training. She stood in the same place and felt very gratified to see him so serious.
Just as she was about to go over, the training was almost over. The two of them took off their helmets. Lu Qingyun immediately saw that the sparring partner was actually a woman.
She immediately stopped and stared at the woman's side profile with a pair of eagle eyes. Her good mood instantly flew away. "Jiang Lingshuang?"
The woman and Yan Zhenting were talking and laughing. "Zhenting, look at you. You're sweating. You should rest for a while. We'll continue tomorrow!"
Jiang Lingshuang was about to wipe his sweat with a tissue when suddenly someone grabbed her wrist tightly. She cried out in pain. "Ouch!" The two of them immediately looked for the person. Unexpectedly, Lu Qingyun suddenly appeared, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
