Chapter 400: 213: Siblings Meet!

Ling Ao stared at the sword in his chest, completely stunned.

He had not expected that Gui Qinshao would actually thrust it in that way, and it was a good two or three inches deep.

Luckily, it wasn’t the heart, or he would have been dead on the spot.

And at the moment she thrust the sword in, Ling Ao’s nearly martial artist instinct kicked in, and he was about to strike back with a palm.

However, this was the woman he loved most, the woman he had sworn to protect all his life. He quickly retracted the force, just staring at Gui Qinshao in utter disbelief.

Then, he stared at Gui Qinshao in complete disbelief.

This was the girl he had grown up with for more than a decade, who had just thrust at him so resolutely, without a hint of hesitation, so heartlessly.

And Gui Qinshao in front of him, seemed even more stunned.

First, she dumbly looked at the wound in Ling Ao’s chest, then looked at her own hand, also somewhat in disbelief that she had actually thrust it in.

"Ah..."

Following that, she cried out in alarm, and quickly let go of the sword.

"Why... why?" Ling Ao asked.

Gui Qinshao said, "Last night, when Suo Lun was bullying me, why didn’t you come out to help me?"

This statement was obviously her forcing an argument.

But for some reason, Ling Ao felt a lot more comfortable hearing it.

Then, Gui Qinshao continued, "And before, you were not like this at all. The way you approached me just now, you have become as wicked as Suo Lun. And I had not slept all night, in my fright and confusion, I mistook you for him, so of course, I stabbed with the sword."

It was impossible to believe such words, but they were exactly what Ling Ao most wanted to hear.

Seeing that Ling Ao seemed to be bluffed by her, Gui Qinshao pressed her advantage and demanded, "Tell me, why didn’t you appear when Suo Lun humiliated me last night? And why didn’t you appear when Zhi Yan hit me?"

She was that kind of person, arguing brazenly and forcefully even when she was wrong, turning the tables to dominate the situation.

"Rest assured, Suo Lun is as good as dead," Ling Ao said. Then he dared not pull out the Gold Break Sword, as his desires naturally subsided.

"Save it, you’ve said that so many times already," Gui Qinshao scoffed: "And yet, Suo Lun lives more and more carefree, becoming increasingly arrogant. Now he’s even about to become the King’s son-in-law, I have seen through you completely. You’re all talk, and you can’t compare to Suo Lun at all."

Gui Qinshao couldn’t hold back and blurted out what was in her heart.

These words hit Ling Ao’s most sensitive spots hard and he barked back angrily, "You ignorant fool of a woman, what else does Suo Lun know besides playing with women? His political acumen is ridiculously stupid. Do you think Zhen Yan Princess actually likes him? She is just using him. Besides, he won’t live more than two months."

"Nonsense..." Gui Qinshao sneered: "The first time, you said he wouldn’t live past the Royal City Academy graduation exam, but he came first. The second time, you said he wouldn’t survive half a year and would surely die in the Tianshui City battle, yet he won against the odds. What can you do besides boast? You’re simply no match for Suo Lun. I knew my father shouldn’t have called off the marriage."

At that, Ling Ao’s anger reached a breaking point, and he could no longer suppress his rage, slapping her across the face.

"Slap..."

And so, Gui Qinshao was struck again.

The side of her face that had been slapped by Zhi Yan hadn’t even swollen down yet, and now she had been slapped by Ling Ao.

"You, you dare hit me?" Gui Qinshao covered her face, completely in disbelief.

Ling Ao was also shocked by his own actions, looking at his right hand and then said, "You shouldn’t have provoked me."

Gui Qinshao screamed, "What’s wrong with saying you’re not as good as Suo Lun? If you dare, go kill Suo Lun now. Go now!"

Seeing her hysterical appearance, a hint of fear crept into Ling Ao’s heart. For the first time, his voice softened as he said, "Xiao Qin, I know you hate Suo Lun. I promise you, this time he’s truly doomed. Our four families have more than five hundred warships and a hundred thousand troops, over ten times Suo Lun’s strength. He’s done for, I assure you he’s truly done for this time. I will avenge the humiliation he caused you."

Having said that, he pulled out the broken sword, ignoring the gushing blood, and tried to embrace Gui Qinshao.

"Get away, you dare hit me. I’m going to tell father, and he won’t let you off," Gui Qinshao yelled, then pushed Ling Ao away and ran outside in her pajamas and bare feet.

Gui Xingfu had just gone to bed when he was quickly awakened by a flurry of footsteps, then the door was pushed open violently.

He saw his daughter Gui Qinshao with tears all over her face, barefooted and rushing into his arms, crying loudly: "Father, Ling Ao hit me, he dared to hit me."

Gui Xingfu saw the clear handprint on his daughter’s face and his face twitched.

"Dear girl, what happened, tell father, I will not let him off," said Gui Xingfu.

And at that moment, Ling Ao also followed inside, still shirtless and now bloodied.

Gui Xingfu’s gaze fell on the wound on Ling Ao’s chest, his expression chilling as he asked, "What is this?"

Ling Ao replied, "It’s nothing. It was an accident by Xiao Qin. I... I just couldn’t hold back and slapped her. Please forgive me, father-in-law."

Gui Xingfu looked at his daughter coldly and asked, "Qin Shu, did you stab Ling Ao with a sword?"
