From a certain angle, Fragrant Concubine was actually smiling at Su Xuan, but if you weren’t paying attention, it seemed like she was smiling at Hua Manlou. So right now, Hua Manlou’s confidence was sky-high. In his eyes, he was so handsome that even the most beautiful woman in the Great Desert, Fragrant Concubine, gave him a radiant smile.

This misunderstanding really led to quite a tragic mistake. If that kid realizes it later, he’ll probably feel extremely embarrassed.

"Hey, you’re drooling. Shouldn’t we focus on the task at hand!"

Su Xuan thought to himself, damn it, I still need to find the Desert Eagle. Although I can pay some people to help, Su Xuan knows that getting these people to help is only a temporary solution. They’re just an irregular army. In this Great Desert, the ones who are truly qualified are the Desert Eagles. They make a living with their lives on the line.

So Su Xuan didn’t really want to monkey around with these idle spoiled rich kids.

"Come on, kid. Today I’ll show you the might of Hua Manlou!"

And indeed, the beauty effect is quite powerful. Hua Manlou now seemed to be full of energy, as if he’d been injected with adrenaline. He even forgot that his Silver City Eight Swords were crippled by Su Xuan. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Qin Bo, how about we make a bet? I bet this kid will win, how about it?"

Fragrant Concubine smiled as she spoke to the stony-faced Qin Bo.

"He won’t win!"

Qin Bo said word by word, his tone filled with determination.

"Don’t cause trouble. What are you thinking? They’re just playing around. Don’t ruin our rules at Dragon Gate Inn. As long as they don’t provoke the inn, we can’t interfere in anything!"

Fragrant Concubine gave Qin Bo a side glance, thinking he’s really on edge today.

Sure enough, Qin Bo’s face turned a bit unsightly with anger. He gritted his teeth, thinking that during the fight later, he’d use Dark Strength to teach that pretty boy a lesson.

As Su Xuan sensed, Qin Bo indeed saw him as a hypothetical enemy, showing his vivid imagination.

However, after Fragrant Concubine reminded him, Qin Bo felt she was right. As people of the Dragon Gate Inn, as long as guests didn’t provoke them, they shouldn’t take action. The rules can’t be broken.

"Hua Manlou, you aren’t planning to fight me with a folding fan, are you? How embarrassing. You better use a broadsword. I don’t like taking advantage of people!"

At this moment, the stylish Hua Manlou somehow found a folding fan. It’s truly a magical item often used for showing off.

"Hmph, kid, dealing with you with a folding fan is more than enough!"

After speaking, Hua Manlou elegantly glided forward. To create an aesthetic, he even made a flamboyant spin. This move was pretty useless with no practicality.

In Huaxia Martial Arts, some are real martial arts with strong attack power, while some are merely for show. This flamboyant spin is actually a dance. This guy was already injured, but to impress the beauty, he executed a flashy spin, totally wrecking his setup. As he spun, Su Xuan suddenly smashed down with a Wolf Fang Club.

This guy originally faced forward, and dodging would have been easy. But he decided to do a flashy spin, turning his back to Su Xuan, and even opened his folding fan for a graceful look.

This fully exposed his back to Su Xuan. Su Xuan wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity, and thus smashed down with the Wolf Fang Club. With a resounding crash, this blow sent him crashing down, eating the dirt.

Yet, being someone with skills, the moment he hit the ground, he slapped the ground with his right hand, performed another flashy spin to rise elegantly. But again, it was all showy and impractical. As he turned around, Su Xuan seemed to use all his strength and smashed down with the Wolf Fang Club again.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Hua Manlou was about to cry, thinking this guy played dirty. He hadn’t even balanced himself before being struck.

Usually, Hua Manlou had eight subordinates setting up a martial artist persona and ensuring a stylish presentation. They were more professional than stunt actors.

But Su Xuan wasn’t his subordinate. This brute intentionally picked the timing. When he smashed down, Hua Manlou almost fell straight to the ground, using his folding fan to block this hundred-pound Wolf Fang Club, almost spitting blood.

"So tiring, so tiring!"

Su Xuan held the Wolf Fang Club, looking exhausted, while Hua Manlou was pinned under the club, in an utterly embarrassing situation.

The Wolf Fang Club had spikes, and Hua Manlou used his folding fan to hold it off. Otherwise, he’d be yelling from the pain.

"Let me go, this doesn’t count!"

Hua Manlou was almost at his limit. The thing was too heavy; he felt like he was going to soil himself.

"How can it not count? Everyone witnessed it. You can’t just say it doesn’t count."

"Just let go. I’m really about to lose my grip!"

By now, Hua Manlou was truly out of strength. If those spikes pierced him, it’d be excruciatingly painful.

"Can’t hold on, how can you not hold on? How can the Tiger among Flowers say he can’t? Keep at it!"

Su Xuan said with a sly grin, while Hua Manlou wished he could just end it all. This time he really disgraced himself to the fullest. For the sake of being suave, why did he choose such a useless weapon? Turns out the folding fan, although flashy, had zero combat power.

"If I let go, does it mean I’ve won?"

Su Xuan grinned, thinking the Young City Lord of Wind Snow Silver City was truly a disgrace.

"Nonsense, I didn’t lose. How could I lose?"

Admitting loss was not just a matter of face; the bigger issue was he owed a huge sum now, likely twenty million yuan. If he couldn’t repay it, there’d be serious trouble.

"Alright then, let’s just keep at it!"

Su Xuan appeared as if he wouldn’t let go until victory was acknowledged.

Fragrant Concubine watched all this, speechless, thinking that guy definitely wasn’t one to be trifled with. She didn’t expect the outcome to be such a farce. Even though she felt Su Xuan would win, she didn’t know how he’d win. This soap-opera-like turn of events was unexpected.
