"Young Master Ryan, I heard that you got a new sword instructor. I specially came to ask for guidance." A blond robust man said to Lancelot.
After speaking, he looked at Gu Shengyin, whose seductive figure was still concealed with her black cloak. The contempt in his tone was not concealed at all.
"I heard that your new instructor is actually a woman." He sized Gu Shengyin up. "A delicate woman like this should nevertheless stay at home and properly be protected by a man. A sword is not suitable for a woman to hold!"
"Moreover..." He looked at the long sword in Lancelot's hand. The disdain in his words were overwhelming. "Sure enough, it's a woman's sword. So tiny like that, can he cut his enemy's throat?"
Lancelot felt indignant in his heart. This blond robust man was his former sword instructor, Hart. His swordsmanship was indeed good, but he was arrogant and haughty. Moreover, he looked down on women.
At that time, when Lancelot returned, he explained to his parents that he was learning a new sword technique, and he did not require a sword instructor. Apparently, this move let him feel unreconciled in his heart.
However, how dare he humiliate her!
Just as Lancelot opened his mouth to speak, he was stopped by Gu Shengyin.
She looked at Hart with a smile yet not a smile: "You want to have a compare with me?"
Hart's expression was proud: "Of course."
Gu Shengyin nodded: "Very well, looking at your appearance, it seems that you look down on my sword technique."
She extended her right hand, and a long sword appeared out of thin air.
Hart was startled by her hand. He coldly snorted: "Dress up as God, play the devil."
Gu Shengyin paid no heed to him. Rather, she turned towards Lancelot and said: "Watch carefully. This is the formidable power of the sword."
Lancelot was very curious. He had always known Ekaterina's power, but he had never seen her use a sword.
Afterwards, his eyes widened.
The resplendent sword shined.
The giant sword that Hart claimed to be forged from the strongest material was directly cut into two, like it was as light as a feather.
The sword in Gu Shengyin's hand was pressed against his neck.
A chill spread from Hart's neck to his whole body. Without the slightest doubt, this sword could easily cut off his whole head, like his sword cut in half on the ground.
"You say, such a thin sword stopping at your neck, can he cut your throat?" Gu Shengyin gently moved the sword in her hand forward. Hart immediately felt a sting.
Hart's expression did not change and determinedly looked at Gu Shengyin: "I apologize for my previous behavior. Your swordsmanship is extraordinarily powerful. I am far from being skilled. Being defeated by your hand, I, Hart, am convinced in heart and by word. Losing to you, I shall allow you to punish me!"
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and appeared to extend his neck in preparation for execution.
Gu Shengyin put away the long sword in her hand and did not look at him.
"Since you already know what you want to know, let's go."
As she spoke, she gave a meaningful glance, light as a feather, towards a certain direction.
Hidden in the small attic secretly observing, Mrs. Ryan felt cold in her heart. She felt as if her whereabouts were discovered by someone.
Impossible! She comforted herself. This location was special. No matter how powerful that person was, that person couldn't find her.
Lancelot, who had always been paying attention to Gu Shengyin, discovered this action and promptly asked: "What happened?"
"Nothing." Gu Shengyin noncommittally replied.
After Mrs. Ryan went downstairs, she thought for a moment and informed her husband about today's matter.
"What did you say?" Brott was shocked and angry.
Chapter 17
"You are truly muddled!" Mr. Brott circled two times around the study.
"According to what you said, Lance's instructor was strong enough to subdue Hart with a sword. Her being able to find you is not a strange thing." Mr. Brott was somewhat sullen. "There is no strong person who does not have arrogance in their heart. If they took offense and left, how could we explain ourselves to Lance?"
Mrs. Ryan was also worried: "At that time, I just wanted to probe out her depth. How could I know Hart would unexpectedly speak so frankly?"
Mr. Brott suddenly asked: "Is that mysterious power really as terrible as you said?"
When he mentioned this, Mrs. Ryan's turned bright: "Good gracious! I have never seen such an elegant sword technique. I saw her simply hold her sword and gently swing it. The sword emitted a light, and then the sword was placed on Hart's neck."
Mr. Brott muttered to himself irresolutely, and then made a decision: "In this case, wait for you to find a gift and personally go apologize."
This kind of strong person, it was worth setting aside their posture to befriend with.
Mrs. Ryan was, all in all, not stupid. She understood her husband's meaning after pondering and nodded: "Okay, I will go prepare it."
Mrs. Ryan's arrival was within Gu Shengyin's expectation.
"Your Grace, today's offense is my fault. I ask for Your Grace's understanding." Mrs. Ryan sincerely apologized.
Gu Shengyin originally also did not intend to pursue it. After all, she was her lover's mother. She nodded and accepted Mrs. Ryan's gift.
Lancelot came to the small courtyard where the Ryan Family arranged for Gu Shengyin in the evening: "I'm sorry."
Gu Shengyin did not speak.
Lancelot was not foolish.
The other person had clearly done enough. In order to come to the human world, the magnificent Vampire Princess had to conceal her whereabouts to accompany him to practice the sword and pay attention to his health.
How could he be worthy of her whole-hearted treatment?
However, she was wronged at his place.
He suddenly saw Gu Shengyin's figure move and disappeared from the room.
Lancelot was startled. Did she get angry and leave?
He couldn't help but call out in a loud voice: "Ekaterina, are you here?"
However, no one answered him.
Lancelot sat on the ground feeling a sense of loss. She must have been angry and did not want to see him.
In fact, Gu Shengyin did not have such thoughts at all. She abruptly disappeared because she sensed Olwen's breath.
"You really are here." No emotion could be heard from Olwen's voice.
Seeing Gu Shengyin's puzzled look, Olwen suddenly did not know where to vent his stomach full of fury.
What should he say?
Say that he sensed that she had not stayed at Nightingale Castle for a long time. After investigating it, he discovered that she had been staying at a human man's home?
Say that he was jealous; therefore, no matter what, he came to find her?
What position did he have to say this?
In the end, he just restrained himself and said: "Recently, I heard that you have been infatuated with a human being. I specially came to take a look."
Gu Shengyin's mood right now was not particularly good. She straightforwardly answered with a rhetorical question: "I remember that this is not a territory of the McKathway Clan. Olwen, isn't your control too wide?"
Olwen just opened his mouth, but he abruptly stopped.
He distinctly heard the wind carry over the name 'Ekaterina'.
"You actually allowed him to call your name?" Olwen felt his rage ignite his heart, inch by inch.
"Olwen, when I, Ekaterina, handles matters, there is no obligation to report to anyone. I still have matters to attend to. I'm going first." Gu Shengyin turned and walked away.
A hand extended to block her way.
