The Amazing son in law Chapter 7040
Charlie’s teasing question took Song Ruyu by surprise for a brief moment.
Though he was a stranger to her, Song Ruyu could tell from his attire that he belonged to the Cavalry Guard of Duke Mining.
She had always maintained control in this area, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to infiltrate.
Thus, her astonishment stemmed from the audacity of a mere Cavalry Guard daring to speak to her in such a manner.
Feeling insulted, Song Ruyu glared at Charlie, her eyes flashing with anger and coldness. Without hesitation, she summoned her spiritual energy to channel it into her long sword, directing the tip straight toward Charlie’s neck.
In Song Ruyu’s mind, Charlie was already marked for death. She gazed at him and calmly declared, “You are too insignificant to die by my sword.”
Charlie replied with a smile, “Confidence is admirable, but overconfidence can lead to downfall.”
As he spoke, he remained completely calm, even as the sword tip rushed toward him.
The long sword, empowered by spiritual energy, posed a near-impossible challenge for ordinary warriors. However, for Charlie, this level of spiritual energy was hardly a threat.
As Song Ruyu anticipated Charlie’s imminent injury just a few meters away, he unexpectedly stepped forward, moving toward the sword and entering the room.
By the time Charlie crossed the doorframe, the sword was already aimed directly at him, its tip gleaming ominously, unyielding.
Charlie showed no signs of fear. Instead, the restrained spiritual energy surged powerfully into his right arm, breaking free and radiating an overwhelming aura that left Song Ruyu utterly horrified!
She could never have imagined that someone posing as a simple Cavalry Guard could wield such immense power. If her own spiritual energy resembled a gentle stream, then Charlie’s was akin to a roaring river!
In that instant, she realized that this man was definitely not just a Cavalry Guard!
Then came a sharp sound as Charlie easily caught her slender silver sword in his hand. The weapon quivered as if trying to escape, but it was powerless to break free from his grip, not even causing a tremor in Charlie’s wrist!
With effortless ease, Charlie held onto Song Ruyu’s sword in his right hand, while he closed the door with his left. He advanced toward her, grinning as he asked, “So, little girl, what tricks do you have up your sleeve next? Did Sara teach you how to unlock the Niwan Palace?”
“You… you…” Song Ruyu stammered. Having only begun her training two years prior, she had not even met the renowned Yingzhu Sara, let alone learned the so-called self-destructive “skill” of unlocking the Niwan Palace from her. What terrified her most was that the man in front of her appeared not much older than herself yet possessed such formidable strength!
Even more shocking was his audacity to address the Lord by name. This was a grave offense within the Poqing Society, punishable by severe consequences. Even the Wu family and their direct descendants would never dream of such boldness!
