"Fischer looked like she was getting serious."
"Flo, was this really okay?"
Papp of the Featherfolk, carrying a combined long spear on his back, watched Fischer draw her saber, her gaze sharp. A trace of worry showed on his face as he could not help looking toward Flo beside him.
As an Advanced Apprentice, once Fischer got serious, let alone taking down a Beginner Apprentice in three moves, even killing one in three moves would not be a problem.
But they had come here to discuss cooperation, not to smash up the place.
"To decide both victory and death, I could sense that he was serious. There was no need for us to interfere." Flo waved a hand, glanced at Lin Qi in the distance, and sighed. "No wonder the Gray Robe Gang dared attack the White Feather Gang's cultivation base. With fearless experts like this, how could those White Feather Gang cowards, so afraid of death, possibly stand against them?"
"You're right. I was being presumptuous." Papp looked at One Leaf Floating Cloud, who had assumed his stance, and felt that he truly had insulted One Leaf Floating Cloud's will to fight.
While Flo and Papp cast respectful gazes their way, the players on the other side all looked on with disdain.
"Damn! This guy was really good at putting on an act."
"I'd wanted to say that line for ages, but he actually beat me to it."
"No, from now on, whenever I face enemies, I'm going to say something properly cool before the fight too."
Watching One Leaf Floating Cloud show off, then seeing the admiration in the eyes of those across from him, the players felt nothing but contempt. At the same time, they thought they could learn from One Leaf Floating Cloud in the future.
