The Steward Demonic Emperor

more reason I must fight!” Zhuo Fan let out a breath as he looked at Chu Qingcheng, “Do you believe I can win?”

 

Chu Qingcheng gave him a deep look and smiled, “Of course.”

 

“Truly? Not even I believe I can.” Zhuo Fan looked at her oddly, “To be honest, I’m not in the least confident in this fight.
I’ll definitely lose.”

 

Chu Qingcheng giggled, “What’s this? The great Steward Zhuo lacking confidence for once?”

 

Zhuo Fan recalled Ye Lin’s terrible golden flame and orthodox heaven dragon soul.
Then he thought of how to beat him and whether it would work, and his face became serious.

 

“Do you really want to fight? From the bottom of your heart…” Chu Qingcheng asked. 

 

Zhuo Fan gave a firm nod, “Even when it is so hopeless, I must overcome this obstacle.
I have to fight.
This is fate!”

 

“Then you will win!” Chu Qingcheng beamed.

 

Zhuo Fan started and didn’t know how to answer.
Chu Qingcheng turned to the rest, “Let’s go.
He needs time to get ready.
We better not disturb him.”

 

Chu Qingcheng did not look at Zhuo Fan again, leisurely leaving.
The girls looked baffled. 

 

[Leaving just like that? You barely talked.]

 

[Meeting after so long, you should be closer than ever!]

 

Yongning and Shuang’er were even more stunned.
They had come with Chu Qingcheng to learn from her how to get closer to Zhuo Fan. 

 

But from what they saw, there was not an ounce of friendliness in their chat.
Zhuo Fan just stood there as well, watching Chu Qingcheng go.
He didn’t say anything to stop her or go after her.

 

As if the two were purely platonic, everyone doing whatever.

 

Yongning rushed after her, “Sister Qingcheng, is that all you came here to ask? Only if he will fight? Just how close are the two of you?”

 

“There’s nothing going on.”

 

Chu Qingcheng smiled, “I just wanted to know what he wanted to do so I could support him.
Nothing else matters.”

 

The girls exchanged glances, feeling baffled. 

 

[How is it not important? The least you can do is give him some words of encouragement.
Let him know your feelings!] 

 

Only Yun Shuang remained thoughtful.
Then she said, “Sister Qingcheng since not even Steward Zhuo is confident of winning, why are you so sure he will win?”

 

“Isn’t it obvious? Since he is earnest in fighting, he will win.
Even if he doesn’t believe it himself, I believe without a shred of doubt.
Because whatever he really wants to do, I trust that he will succeed.” Chu Qingcheng smiled as she said.

 

The girls found it somewhat understandable. 

 

[Qingcheng is Zhuo Fan’s greatest support, always believing in him.
Maybe this is the best kind of encouragement.
They might not speak, but their intentions are clear.]

 

[This is mutual understanding.]

 

The two might not admit it, but the girls could see that it was another kind of love, simply at the range of soul mates…

 

Back with Zhuo Fan, the girls had now left, and he was just standing there confused.
“This girl is so good at reading people it makes me vexed.
She’s always so perfect in her actions, even understanding me more than I do myself…”

 

“Zhuo Fan, she said you’re getting ready for the fight.
Is that true? You’ve fought so many times in the Double Dragon Manor so far, yet not once have you made any preparations.
When it came to fighting, you shirked it off, not wanting to.
This time, winning will be very hard for us.
So are you getting ready? Are you really going to fight that freak, Ye Lin?”

 

Fiend Yang looked him in the eye and sighed, “Leaving others aside, I can see he isn’t normal.
I advise you not to fight Ultimate Clarity Sect and end up wasting men for nothing.”

 

Zhuo Fan’s eyes flashed, and he shook his head, “No, I didn’t fight before because I didn’t feel like it.
Those guys were just too weak.
But this time, I must fight with my life on the line.
If I fall back now, it’ll be just like Wen Tao said.
My success in the future will fall short, if not stop completely.
A cultivator has to sometimes face obstacles head-on, to the death!”

 

Zhuo Fan laughed and entered his room, closing the door behind him.

 

“Tell everyone I’ll be in seclusion for three days.
I vow to defeat Ye Lin!”

 

Fiend Yang’s heart shook.
Looking at where Chu Qingcheng was going and chuckled, “These two sure understand each other.
He just said he wasn’t confident, and now he’s pumped to try.
Like the girl said, Zhuo Fan does not believe it, but his heart wants to win all the same.”

 

“In that case, all of Demon Scheming Sect’s elites will brave the dangers with him.
They would not hesitate to go in even if it came to their deaths at the hands of that monster!”

 

Fiend Yang’s shouted, filled with zeal himself…
