Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen Chapter 173

'Just who is this girl? Does she want to kill her fiance for a challenge? And she isn't even worried about it? How can she threaten the Prince of this kingdom so freely?' Xu Ming thought.
"Aren't you afraid of killing a prince?" Xu Ming asked the girl as he looked at her in confusion.
"Why would I be worried about killing you! Stop changing the topic! Just tell me if you accept my challenge or not!" The Girl let out again.
"What do you think I will do?" Xu Ming inquired again.
"You will try to make an excuse, but it's not going to work today! It's either you accept my challenge or die!" the girl let out.
"Alright. Repeat the challenge for me, only then will I reply," Xu Ming let out in a calm tone.
"You know what the challenge is! Fight me! If I win, this engagement will be canceled. If you win, I will drop the idea of canceling the engagement," Yu Yan told Xu Ming.
'Ah, I guess I get it. It must be arranged marriage. They engaged Yu Yan and the guy I killed when they were young, and now she wants to break the engagement. But if I let the engagement be broken, I might be called by the King since he would be angry at his son. I am a fake, I don't want to face the King yet, or I would be caught. I can only fight her and win, to keep the status quo since she isn't going to go away without me accepting the challenge,' Xu Ming thought.
"Answer me!" The girl said as she pointed her weapon at Xu Ming again.
"Alright. I accept the challenge. We will fight tomorrow, but I don't want anyone to watch our battle. I will only fight if it's a private battle in a private place," Xu Ming told her.

The girl was stunned. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Her mouth was open.
She never imagined that Xu Ming would accept her challenge since he was so scared of her before. She had planned to force him to accept the challenge, but it went way too easy that she found it difficult to believe.
"Y-you accept the challenge?" She asked again, just to be sure.
"Yeah, I accept the challenge. You can select a place and come to take me tomorrow. As long as it's a private place where no one else would be able to see us fight, I would be ready to fight with you," Xu Ming said again.
"Alright. I will select a place and come to take you tomorrow. But if I found out that you have escaped or that you were lying, you will die!" the Girl threatened Xu Ming again before she left.
'Sigh, I guess I can imagine why that guy was scared. She is intimidating, and she isn't weak either,' Xu Ming thought.
The Servant was standing in the back, watching everything.
"Go close the door and come back," Xu Ming told him as he sat on a chair.
The servant went towards the door and closed it before he walked back.
"Now that I've dealt with her, let's continue our quiz," Xu Ming told the Servant as he casually glanced at him.
"Who is Yu Yan?" He asked.
" She is your fiance," The Servant replied.
"Why is she so eager to challenge me?" Xu Ming asked again.
"Because she wants to use the Second Law of the Kingdom to break the engagement," The Servant answered.
"What is the Second Law of the Kingdom?"
"The Second Law states that when a man and a woman are engaged by their family, the engagement can't be broken unless both sides agree. There is only one way to break the engagement if the other side doesn't agree, which is by way of Rights Challenge,"

"What is the right challenge?" Xu Ming asked again. He wanted to find the answers, but each answer made things more complicated for him.
"The girl can challenge the boy, or the boy can challenge the girl for a battle. The Rights Challenge is only active when both of the parties accept the challenge. If the one that challenged the other person wins, they get what they demanded. If the person loses, they will not get what they demanded, and they would have to stay content with the situation. Miss Yu Yan challenged you to break the engagement. If she wins, the engagement will be broken; if she loses, she will accept you as her fiance," The Servant answered in detail.
'So that's how it is. I can't let her win then. My disguise might be exposed if I lose, and the King calls me to reprimand me. I need to win and stay in the role until I save my friends,' Xu Ming thought.
"Good. I think you have grown smarter than before. This test thing seems to be working. I'll continue it so that your growth doesn't halt," Xu Ming let out as he smiled.
"Why wasn't Yu Yan afraid of killing me?" Xu Ming asked again.
"She is the daughter of the Sect Master, so her position in this Kingdom is not much lower than the Master. The Sect Master and the King are close friends, so I don't think that she would be punished for hurting you. Only you will be scolded for being weak, but I don't believe Madam Yu Yan will go as far as killing you. She would never be able to justify that. So she threatened you with the threat of killing, but she meant that she would break all your bones. That's what she said last time she came here," The Servant answered.
'Master is definitely asking this to test my memory since she mentioned this last time when she came here. Master underestimated my memory,' the Servant was happy on the inside.
'The Daughter of the Sect Master, huh, That brings things into perspective,' Xu Ming thought. 'Whatever happens, I can't let her win.'
Xu Ming changed his question and asked more about the guy he was pretending to be like how he fought in battles, what strategy he used.
Even though the servant didn't know most of these things in detail, he was able to provide Xu Ming with some valid information.
He kept collecting information for the next few hours, and after he felt like he had asked a lot of questions to the servant, he allowed him to go back.
He knew that he couldn't hurry everything, but he had to get answers. He found out all he needed to. Even the rumors that the servant knew regarding what happened to the prisoners.
