"Wait, we're not here to fight."
Fan Linlin hurriedly explained. In her current state, she was not completely confident she could defeat the woman charging at her.
Gu Lingling stopped in the middle of drawing her sword. "If you're not here to fight, what are you doing in the rear courtyard?"
Fan Linlin explained, "I'm the newly appointed prison official. I came specifically to reclaim Prison Manor."
"Then you are here to fight. Take this!"
As Gu Lingling spoke, the Phoenix Dance Sword left its sheath, thrusting straight ahead.
Seeing that his junior sister had already made a move, Yan Xinhui slowly walked toward Lu Feng and sneered. "Your master is injured. She's no match for my junior sister. Have you thought of how you'll beg for mercy?"
Lu Feng smiled faintly. "How about we make a bet?"
"How shall we bet?" Yan Xinhui gave Lu Feng an interested look.
"Bet on how many moves it takes for them to decide the winner."
Yan Xinhui thought for a moment, then smiled. "Interesting. I'll take that bet."
A smile curled Lu Feng's lips. "Since it's a wager, there should be stakes to make it interesting. How about the loser obeys the other's orders for one month?"
"One month is too little. Make it three," Yan Xinhui said, looking toward Fan Linlin. "Include her as well. Your attendant alone isn't qualified to bet with me."
Being able to order around a prison official should be quite interesting, Yan Xinhui secretly chuckled.
Fan Linlin, who was locked in fierce combat nearby, heard Lu Feng and Yan Xinhui's conversation. She knocked Gu Lingling back with a sword strike and said, "That's unfair. You alone aren't qualified to bet with me either."
"Then add me too." Gu Lingling raised her sword and pressed forward again.
