"Pah, as if she could beat me," Gui Qinshao declared.
Without another word, Turing Chen vanished like a bolt of lightning, retreating hundreds of meters away into a pavilion.
Gui Qinshao was no match for Turing Duo, and as long as her sister, Turing Duo, exercised restraint, they could fight until dawn without incident.
"You deserve to marry that monster, Tuli Yang."
"You deserve the torment from Suo Lun, truly so."
"You claim you’re unwilling, but who knows how delighted you actually are."
Unable to defeat Turing Duo, Gui Qinshao’s words grew increasingly venomous. Listening to her, Turing Duo really wished she could take a candlestick and run it through her tongue.
Just when the two were thoroughly enjoying their fight, suddenly...
An additional shadow appeared in the room!
Oh no, actually two. One in the open, and one hidden.
The two fighting young misses were dumbstruck, about to cry out.
However, they found themselves completely immobilized, unable to move at all. This was because Zhen Yan Princess’s cultivation was effortlessly able to lock down all their meridians.
That familiar figure, of course, was Suo Lun.
Yuhua Pavilion was a secret stronghold under the control of the trusted eunuch Gao Yu, an intelligence source of the greatest significance that remained unknown to all until this day.
Beneath Yuhua Pavilion lay a secret passage leading directly to the bottom of the artificial lake. When Turing Chen came to inspect Yuhua Pavilion, Suo Lun and Zhi Yan were at the bottom of the artificial lake.
At this moment, while Turing Duo and Gui Qinshao were in the midst of their heated battle, the two opened the secret door beneath and entered Yuhua Pavilion.
Suo Lun observed the two women; Turing Duo looked alright, her clothes still relatively intact.
But Gui Qinshao’s clothing had been pierced into ribbons by a candlestick.
Turing Duo’s swordsmanship was far superior to Gui Qinshao’s, yet she couldn’t truly hurt her. Therefore, she could only vent her frustration by slashing at her clothes.
Upon seeing Suo Lun’s arrival, both were initially shocked, then they reacted differently.
Turing Duo was totally horrified, clueless as to why Suo Lun was there.
As for Gui Qinshao, her feelings were incredibly complex; she seemed exceedingly surprised, yet not completely so.
She had intended this very day to be one of degradation, to take revenge on her father and Ling Ao, which is why she came to Yuhua Pavilion. Nonetheless, she was a bit hesitant and fearful, so she waited almost until dark before coming, thinking Suo Lun wouldn’t be there anymore.
Unexpectedly, Suo Lun was still present.
What was to come next? Her heartbeat raced to extreme levels, unsure if it was out of fear or something else.
Suo Lun first lifted the hem of Gui Qinshao’s tattered dress to take a look, and surely, it was a breathtaking sight.
Gui Qinshao’s cheeks turned red, her delicate body tensing as if to scream curses, but she found herself utterly unable to make a sound.
"Don’t worry, we have plenty of time," Suo Lun said with a smile.
He then turned to Turing Duo, shaking his head and sighing, "You are ultimately unable to free yourself. You really are somewhat disappointing."
Turing Duo remained silent, her feelings incredibly mixed, whispering softly, "What do you want to do?"
She was able to speak, as Zhi Yan had released her constraints.
"Do you remember the time when we were eight, how Turing Duo and I bullied you together?" Suo Lun asked.
Turing Duo immediately glared fiercely at Suo Lun, coldly saying, "What do you want to do? I would rather die than suffer humiliation again."
Suo Lun said, "Gui Qinshao is treating you ; don’t you want to take revenge? How about we replay everything from when we were eight on her, now that you and I can join forces to do so?"
Upon hearing this, Gui Qinshao shuddered with fear.
Immediately, she regretted coming. She should not have come.
She knew very well that the bastard Suo Lun wouldn’t let her off the hook, and yet she had come; she truly regretted it now.
Back when they were eight, Suo Lun used the Bone Corrosive Pen to write on Turing Duo and put caterpillars on her.
"Of course, times have changed, so the games must be different," Suo Lun said with a faint smile: "Besides, we have all night. This is just the first act!"
Looking at Gui Qinshao, a surge of vengeful impulse rose within Turing Duo, and then she coldly said, "Fine!"
