Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! Chapter 438 - No One Liked Dragging Others’ Back

Chapter 438: No One Liked Dragging Others’ Back

Gu Qingjiu saw this as an opportune time.

Before Long Xiaohe reached her, Gu Qingjiu swiftly grabbed the girl’s shoulders.

Gu Qingjiu’s knee pushed forward to take advantage of her opponent’s current weakness, which was her lack of balance, to force her onto the ground.

Thud!

Long Xiaohe fell to the ground while Gu Qingjiu followed the motion and pushed her down further, elbows against her shoulders.

No matter how much Long Xiaohe struggled, she couldn’t struggle free.

Three seconds later, the instructor announced that Gu Qingjiu won.

Long Xiaohe dejectedly collapsed onto the ground.

Gu Qingjiu stood up, putting out a hand to help Long Xiaohe up. “Sorry about this.”

Long Xiaohe raised her head and narrowed her eyes at her. In the end, she reluctantly took Gu Qingjiu’s hand and stood up.

The people around them were all stunned.

Although the move which Gu Qingjiu executed looked easy, it actually required an insanely fast speed.

Long Xiaohe’s kick was a split second motion and yet Gu Qingjiu could take that chance to force her down.

It was beyond shocking.

The instructor looked surprised as well. He did not expect Gu Qingjiu to do so well on her first duel.

But unlike others, the roots of the instructor’s experience ran deep. He could tell that Gu Qingjiu was still holding back.

During Long Xiaohe’s first attack, she already had the chance to force her down.

He did not say much, lightly praising Gu Qingjiu for her performance.

The moment Gu Qingjiu went out, Feng Yumeng couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart. “Qingjiu, you’re so powerful! Really and truly!”

She thought that her combat skills were bad, but she didn’t expect Gu Qingjiu to be so proficient at it.

Long Xiaohe’s skills were already considered good, but Gu Qingjiu defeated her in a single move.

Gu Qingjiu was not arrogant, opting to show a humble smile instead. “I just got lucky and caught her at a good time. Long Xiaohe is strong.”

Her performance shone a ray of hope into Feng Yumeng’s heart. “Could it be that I have a chance to not be in the last place for this dueling module?”

“Of course!”

Gu Qingjiu immediately replied, “From today onwards, let’s practice together. I will be your dueling partner.”

“Ah? I’m scared!”

Feng Yumeng shook her head like a rattle-drum.

Gu Qingjiu frowned. Her tone became stern, unlike her usual self. “Feng Yumeng, I know you don’t want to drag me down but for that to happen, you have to at least show that you’ve tried your best. Your reaction speed in a duel is not bad, but you let your fear overcome you and so you don’t dare to take the initiative to attack.”

Although Gu Qingjiu was not thoroughly well-versed in the arts of dueling, she could tell what Feng Yumeng’s problems were.

The instructor already pointed this flaw out to Feng Yumen back then, but tears fell when she heard it.

However, since it was Gu Qingjiu this time, she was embarra.s.sed to cry.

So she sucked it in, not daring to utter a single sound.

There were still many people around, so Gu Qingjiu didn’t want to say too much. She sighed. “You need to know, no one likes losing. If you want to prove yourself, you’ll have to work harder. You can’t retreat just because you’re afraid. If that’s the case, entering the military school would be meaningless.”

“And now you are fighting on my side. You’re not alone anymore!”

The reason Gu Qingjiu phrased it that way was so for Feng Yumeng to pull away from her guilt.

She knew that Feng Yumeng wanted to work hard but could not overcome the obstacle which was herself.

But Gu Qingjiu would definitely not allow that to happen. She would help her overcome it.

Just like what she said, no one liked to lose.

Similarly, no one liked dragging others down.
