He mused that half a stalk of the herb would suffice, but spoke aloud, "Half a stalk is quite lacking. In that case, the location of our duel must be decided by me."
Zhang Yan laughed heartily and said, "Brother Tu truly refuses to suffer the slightest loss. Very well, the choice of place shall be yours."
Tu Xuan's eyes flickered as he spoke slowly, "Two days hence, we shall battle atop Luanming Rock!"
Zhang Yan gazed meaningfully at Tu Xuan. The duel's venue had already been chosen—clearly, this man was no impulsive fool but came fully prepared.
Zhang Yan also knew of Luanming Rock. It was said to be a place of chaotic cliffs like swords, with suspended rocks scattered in the air. That Tu Xuan chose this spot for their duel was obviously an attempt to limit his Sword Escape Skill. Yet Zhang Yan remained unfazed and immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Fine, as Brother Tu wishes."
