Xiao Zhan's words almost caused Li Wei's newly built-up mentality to collapse instantly!
Damn it...Are you all so confident?
Gritting his teeth, Li Wei gripped the hilt of his knife tightly with both hands and snorted, "It's not certain who will win or lose yet. Don't think that just because you won once, you can win every time."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Xiao Zhan snorted coldly and slashed fiercely with the long sword in his hand.
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the blades of two knives struck heavily together...
The next second.
"Ding-dong!!"
The knife in Li Wei's hand broke again.
At this moment, Li Wei's face turned extremely ugly. If the first time was just a coincidence, how could this be explained?
Ouyang Ye's face also turned deathly pale, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes filled with resentment at the unbelievable truth.
"Haha, I knew this would be the result!"
"If you continue this competition, you'll only be humiliating yourselves!"
"You dare to underestimate our Prince? You deserve to be humiliated..."
The guards of Prince Xiao's mansion mocked him from the sidelines, finally venting their anger from earlier.
Eunuch Wei listened quietly to the shouts and jeers, without making any attempt to stop them... After all, Ouyang Ye and his group had already lost, and Xiao Yu was a prince favored by His Majesty, so Eunuch Wei naturally wouldn't speak up.
They even offered their congratulations with a smile.
"Hey, your knives are garbage!"
Xiao Zhan proudly brandished the long sword in his hand and snorted.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
At this moment, Ouyang Ye acted like a gambler. He pushed aside his junior brother, personally selected a knife, and shouted, "I'll do it myself. Try me again if you dare!"
"Give him what he wants."
Xiao Yu spoke up.
"good."
Xiao Zhan was also happy to kick someone when they were down, and said with a smile, "Come on, no matter how many knives you take out today, I'll cut them all in half!"
Then, they started sparring again.
"Ding-dong!!"
"Ding-dong!!"
"Ding-dong!!"
After having three knives broken in succession, Ouyang Ye lost all courage to continue gambling. Holding a broken knife, he looked like a gambler who had lost everything, his eyes vacant, muttering, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! I am one of Master's most outstanding disciples, how could I lose to him? Impossible..."
Seeing Ouyang Ye on the verge of collapse, everyone around instinctively looked towards Xiao Yu.
Just a month ago, this person was the well-known fool Xiao Shilang.
In less than a month, his talent began to shine. From composing poems to killing Liu Guogong, he has now even defeated Master Ouye's disciple in the field of weapon forging.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe it?
"No wonder His Majesty thinks so highly of Xiao Yu. He is indeed a rare talent, and his future achievements may surpass those of General Xiao."
As Wei Gonggong thought to himself, his gaze toward Xiao Yu became more attentive and ingratiating.
"We lost! We lost!"
Li Wei and the engineers behind him also lost their composure; their faces were either pale or pale, and in short, they all looked terrible.
"Master Ouyang, kneel down and kowtow."
Xiao Yu spoke up.
Calling him "master" at this moment is a blatant insult.
Ouyang Ye swayed a few times, instinctively wanting to cheat, but seeing Xiao Zhan and the others staring at him menacingly, and Eunuch Wei watching with a half-smile, he ultimately suppressed his urge to cheat.
He gritted his teeth and walked step by step toward Xiao Yu.
Just as Ouyang Ye made up his mind to kneel down, Xiao Yu suddenly spoke...
"etc."
"ah?"
Ouyang Ye was taken aback, subconsciously thinking that Xiao Yu had a change of heart and was going to let him go.
However, it turned out that Ouyang Ye was overthinking things.
"Ye Qun was also a participant in the bet at the time, but he's not here now..."
Xiao Yu pretended to be in a difficult position and said, "How about this, you can just find any junior brother to kowtow to me in Ye Qun's place."
That bastard has no conscience at all!
Ouyang Ye cursed inwardly, wondering how he could have been so bewitched as to dare to have any hope for Xiao Yu.
Li Wei instinctively took two steps back.
In this workshop, he was the only junior brother of Ouyang Ye. Xiao Yu told him to just find any junior brother, which was blatantly a way of telling him to kowtow to Xiao Yu.
"Since Senior Brother Ye Qun isn't here, let's just leave it at that... Or, you can talk to him another day when you see him."
Li Wei quickly spoke up.
"That won't do!"
Xiao Yu resolutely refused, then looked at Ouyang Ye and said, "You came up with the idea. If you can't find your junior brother to kowtow to, then you should kowtow for two people. Just kowtow to me six times. Every time you kowtow, you have to say, 'I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly.'"
"This is outrageous!!"
Ouyang Ye was so angry that he almost ground his back teeth to powder. He had never seen such a shameless person.
"Yes, so what if I bullied you?"
Xiao Yu stopped pretending, crossed his arms, stared at the furious Ouyang Ye, and said coldly, "Who do you think you are, daring to repeatedly cause trouble for me? These six heads are indispensable; if even one is missing, I'll break a bone in your body!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhan and Da Sha stood next to Ouyang Ye with their swords sheathed.
If he kowtows even once less, the two men will teach him a lesson.
"I'll kneel, I'll kneel!"
Ouyang Ye then realized that Xiao Yu was a king of a different surname in the Great Xia Kingdom, and he, a mere swordsmith, could not possibly stand against him.
Previously, because of the bet, he mistakenly believed that he had the status to go against Xiao Yu.
After saying that, he knelt down on both knees and began to kowtow to Xiao Yu in front of everyone.
"I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"
With each kowtow, Ouyang Ye would say a sentence.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Wei also knelt on the ground and said, "I will take Ye Qun's three heads!"
Originally, he wanted Ye Qun to kowtow on his own... but now Ouyang Ye was forced into a dilemma by Xiao Yu, and he himself had just offended Xiao Yu.
If he doesn't kowtow now, he might incur the wrath of both Senior Brother Ouyang Ye and Xiao Yu.
Rather than doing that, I might as well kneel down and kowtow, so that Senior Brother Ouyang Ye would owe me a favor, and also let Xiao Yu vent his anger.
"I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"
Li Wei knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The two kowtowed six times before slowly rising, looking defeated. They bowed their heads and said, "Eunuch Wei, we have lost and failed His Majesty's trust... Now, we will return to Sword Forging Valley. We hope to have the opportunity to serve His Majesty again in the future."
After saying that, he left the workshop looking dejected.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
Eunuch Wei didn't care about Ouyang Ye's departure at all. Instead, he smiled and congratulated Xiao Yu: "I'll take a few Qi family swords back with me now so His Majesty can see them! His Majesty will be very happy to see such hard and sharp swords... Your Highness, you have done a great service again!"
