Chapter 292: Dueling Performances

Xun Yu endured the pain, his face pale as he forced a smile. "Miss Bai, it's been a long time. Forgive me for making a fool of myself."

Bai Yuwei furrowed her brows deeply. "Are you stupid? You clearly can't fight, so why did you recklessly rush forward just now? If my Gu Technique didn't work in the forests of the Central Plains, you'd be dead by now!"

A blunt truth indeed. Bai Yuwei's dominance in Miaojiang was undisputed, but her grandfather once warned her that the insects in the Central Plains differed from those in Miaojiang, and her Gu Technique might not always be effective.

"Even if I rushed forward, it was of no use. In the end, it was still Miss Bai who saved me. That saying—'a Scholar is good for nothing'—turns out to be true."

"Enough of this." Bai Yuwei was unaccustomed to the overly courteous formalities of the Central Plains' folk, as if they wanted to bow a hundred times the moment they crossed paths.
