Chapter 708: Chapter 708_1

After his private meeting with He Lian Xuan last time, Su Chengyu had formed a rather good impression of him. He is keen on maintaining a good relationship with He, believing that having an extra friend is always better than having an extra enemy, especially when that friend is a powerful figure in the East.

However, Su Chengyu could under no circumstances present the South Sea Mermaid Pearl to him. He doesn’t know how much longer it would take for Yu Yanshu to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm if he did.

Most people would find it hard to resist He Lian Xuan’s combination of soft and hard tactics. But Su Chengyu always acted according to his own beliefs – he would rather break than bend.

"Grand Minister, I’m sorry. This South Sea Mermaid Pearl is really important to me. I cannot hand it over to Lee Longqing. Even if it provokes the Lee family, I hope for your understanding. I’m willing to take the risk," Su Chengyu stated bluntly.

A cold light flashed in He Lian Xuan’s eyes and he clenched his right fist behind him. "Are you saying that it doesn’t matter to you whether you offend the Lee family or me? It seems you have really overlooked my importance."

"Grand Minister, please calm down..." Su Chengyu tried to explain, but He Lian Xuan cut him off.

"Enough! No need for more explanations. Since you’re unwilling to hand over the South Sea Mermaid Pearl, I won’t force you."

With a wave of hand, He Lian Xuan got up and walked directly into the house, ignoring Su Chengyu and showing no sign of his previous amicability.

Su Chengyu sighed slightly and did not say much more. He knew he had offended He Lian Xuan. No further explanation would change his mind. He probably thought of him now as a person who didn’t appreciate favors and took things too lightly.

Su Chengyu didn’t bother to explain any further. He Lian Xuan’s favor towards him was based on his potential. If He got angry at him just because he didn’t comply with his wishes over a trifle, there was nothing more to say.

Su Chengyu left He Lian Xuan’s courtyard and headed towards the yard where Yin Huan, the head of Dragon Soul in Jiangnan, was located.

He had a life-and-death duel agreement with Yin Huan, which must be fulfilled before he left.

Arriving outside Yin Huan’s office, Su Chengyu shouted loudly, "Yin Huan, the Dragon Soul Convention is over. Isn’t it time to carry out our duel?"

Yin Huan, who was currently in the office building, heard Su Chengyu’s voice and frowned. "This kid is really annoying, actually coming to challenge me."

"Brother Yin, don’t be angry! He’s taking advantage of the Grand Minister’s favor. He’s so unscrupulous in trying to gain fame and attention for himself. You don’t have to pay him any attention," Xu Jianglong quickly advised.

"He came to me. If I don’t come out, wouldn’t people think I am afraid of him? Where would my face be then? Today, even if the Grand Minister is biased, I want to teach him a lesson."

With a cold snort, Yin Huan leapt out of the office window, making a direct impact as he punched towards Su Chengyu, who blocked the blow with his Dragon Slayer Sword. The clash caused a loud noise that echoed throughout the Dragon Soul department, alarming many people.

"Yin Huan, are you in such a hurry to make a move? Is there not supposed to be a witness to our life-and-death duel, to prevent me from being accused when you die by my sword?"

Pushed back more than ten meters by Yin Huan’s palm power, Su Chengyu landed on the crown of a tree, standing tall with blazing eyes.

Yin Huan leapt up and stood on a large stone pillar outside the office building, confronting Su Chengyu across the air.

"Just because you won a Dragon Soul Convention, you got so bloated that you can’t recognize yourself, right? You even want to kill me? It’s laughable!"

Ever since the Dragon Soul Convention started, Yin Huan had been extremely angry with Su Chengyu’s provocations and was eager to tear him apart.

"Whether it’s laughable or not, we’ll know after the fight. That day, right here in the Dragon Soul Department, you deliberately let Xiang Yuesheng in, tried to set me up, and wanted my life. I won’t forget that. I’ve always been one to hold grudges."

"Settling accounts with me? Are you worthy? You have no idea of your own limitations!" Yin Huan said disdainfully.

As the two confronted each other, more and more people came to watch.

"Are these two really going to have a life-and-death duel? I thought they were just joking."

"Looking at the situation, this fight seems inevitable. The question is whether or not the Grand Minister will intervene."

"Why does Su Cheng dare to have a life-and-death duel with Yin Huan? I think he’s counting on the Grand Minister’s favor, knowing that Yin Huan won’t kill him. He’s just taking advantage of his position to gain fame. He can be put to death with such despicable means."

The crowd discussed, all pointing the finger at Su Chengyu, and nobody thought he was brave or admirable. It was generally believed that Su Chengyu was just taking advantage of his position to gain fame.

Su Chengyu heard these discussions but was too lazy to explain.

"Good! Since you want to have witnesses, there are quite a few people here now, so they can bear witness. If you really have the guts, dare you sign a life-and-death duel contract with me? If you don’t dare, just kneel down, apologize, and I won’t pursue your offense. Don’t think that just because the Grand Minister favors you, you can do whatever you want."

Yin Huan stood with his hands behind him, speaking loudly.

"Why wouldn’t I dare? Bring the pen and ink!" Su Chengyu declared.

Yin Huan was slightly taken aback. A life-and-death duel contract was not a joke. Once both parties signed, even if He Lian Xuan was biased, he could not interfere.

These were the rules of the martial arts world, and the official duel rules recognized by the government.

During a duel, both parties voluntarily sign the life-and-death duel contract, and they will be responsible for their own lives. No one can intervene once the duel starts.

Inside He Lian Xuan’s courtyard, his closest aide entered to report, "Grand Minister, Su Cheng has gone to find Yin Huan to carry out the duel. Both sides are preparing to sign the life-and-death duel contract. Won’t you go to stop it?"

He Lian Xuan gently tapped on the table, saying lightly, "Since he insists on dueling with Yin Huan and it meets the rules of martial arts duels, it’s a mutual agreement, why should I interfere?"

"But Su Cheng is the one you favor, isn’t he? Once they sign the life-and-death duel contract, he’s as good as dead. He dares to provoke a life-and-death duel most likely because he has calculated that you will intervene. Otherwise, how could he be foolish enough to seek death?"

He Lian Xuan sneered, "He wants to use my power to gain fame and status for himself. What does he think I am? How can I let him use me! With such behavior, he is a villain and not worthy of my patronage. If he wants to seek death, let him be. We don’t need to bother."
