Cold Blooded Wife

12 The Banquet (6)

Wu Xingxie stood up, walking down the the platform like a goddess entering the arena.

Wu Yunxia followed suit, listening to the comments the others were making.

Most of them were in his favor since he was a male after all. Although Yunxia was a year younger than Xingxie, he was taller by a few inches. Both had grown up well but their personalities and aura were completely different.

"Alright, since it is a duel, why don't we have His Highness set a few rules?" Master Wu proposed.

The Crown Prince, hearing this agreed as he smirked.

"Alright. I will list three rules.

One, you must use your personal swords.

Two, you may use any other techniques that you know of or can use.

Three, the winner shall be rewarded greatly."

The Crown Prince was really anticipating this battle. He was rooting for Wu Yunxia since the boy reminded him of himself.

The servant who was the referee counted to three for the duel to begin.

At once, Wu Yunxia formed his personal sword, which happened to be a silver sword. The sword glistened as Wu Yunxia pointed it towards Wu Xingxie.

Everyone was waiting for Wu Xingxie to summon her sword but to their surprise she stood still.

Wu Yunxia launched an attack as he charged at her with high speed. From the others, it looked like Wu Xingxie would not be able to defend herself but what happened next took them aback.

Wu Xingxie effortlessly moved her body, dodging the male who was coming at her with incredible speed.

Even if Wu Yunxia was fast, Wu Xingxie's body was more light than his. So, she only had to move in order to avoid his attack.

Wu Yunxia was furious! When he fought her when she was 12, the girl would always block his attack instead of dodging them.

Turning around, Wu Yunxia jumped in the air, creating a gust of Qi energy around him. The crowd was amazed. At 15 years old, he already learned how to control his Qi so well. Usually, young people could not control it which ended up with their powers wrecking havoc.

Madam Wu smirked, seeing how talented he had become. She was most proud of Wu Yunxia. After all, she even got rid of that wretched mother of his when he was born so she could raise him as her own.

Wu Xingxie covered her eyes from the Qi, appearing to let her guard down. When she opened her eyes, he was already prepared to slash her face but just at the moment, she moved her hand, instantly summoning her sword. The sounds of two blades clashing created suspense in the air.

Wu Yunxia glared at Wu Xingxie.
He saw the look of contempt in her eyes and felt his blood run cold. What was happening? Fear was present in his eyes as Wu Xingxie pushed him away, knocking his sword out his hand. Wu Yunxia's sword fell on the ground with a clank, astonishing everyone. They wondered what had happened for Wu Yunxia to space out.

Wu Xingxie's sword pointed at Wu Yunxia's neck, ending the battle.

No one said a word as they watched the two figures. Wu Xingxie held her blade at Wu Yunxia's neck and if it was a real battle, she could have easily killed the male.

Master Wu was the only one who had expected this outcome. After all, Wu Xingxie was raised under his orders while Wu Yunxia under his wife. His methods were harsher and brutal so obviously, Wu Xingxie wouldn't lose to his son.

"What a great performance!" Someone snapped out of it and exclaimed.

Everyone came back as well and they started clapping. Everyone was smiling except Madam Wu and the other young masters.

Wu Xingxie you b**ch!

How dare you humiliate our brother?!

Madam Wu was secretly gripping on her dress as she wanted to rip Wu Xingxie into pieces and feed her to the wild beasts.

She even bit her own lips and they had begun to bleed a little.

The Crown Prince had wanted Wu Yunxia to win so he could embarrass Wu Xingxie.

However, now that she had won, he remembered the last rule he stated.

He would reward the winner.

Wu Xingxie let her sword disappear as she turned to return to her seat but Wu Yunxia, who was burning with rage reached for his sword. In the blink of an eye, almost everyone's mouth dropped as he lunged at Wu Xingxie, slashing her.
