Ji Han stares dumbfoundead for a long time, awkwardly opens his mouth to ask, "What... What do you want?"
Zhao says bluntly, "Want you."
Ji Han, "..."
Zhao Jiangui finishes speaking this phrase, also feeling uncomfortable in his own entire body. He knits his eyebrows and doesn't speak again, secretly criticizing those few who are known as warriors that had really thought out these words. Truly strange.
Both sides are silent a long while, as if making up his mind, Ji Han opens his mouth normally and says, "Clearly you know who I am?"
It's come! Another phrase he can correctly use!
Zhao Jiangui, "I know, but I don't care."
Ji Han says, "You genuinely know..."
Zhao Jiangui, "What I want is you, not someone else."
Ji Han, "..."
The driver had long ago covered his ears and squatted to the side, his mouth repeating, "I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, no need to silence a witness, Jiaozhu doesn't need to kill me to silence me."
...
Ji Han suddenly speaks, "You're really Zhao Jiangui?"
Zhao Jiangui brusquely, "Of course."
Ji Han coldly says, "I never expected the number one swordsman under heaven to actually be a cutsleeve."
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
No, listen to me explain.
Ji Han, "I'm only looking for a duel."
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
Ji Han, "If you're not able to fight me, at this point we're better off going separate ways."
Zhao Jiangui, "I..."
Ji Han has already turned around to climb up into the carriage, the driver hurriedly rushes to sit, merely awaiting the Sect Leader's orders.
Zhao Jiangui gazes at Ji Han, can't help knitting his brows.
Ji Han turns his head and tells him coldly, "It's a shame I'm not a cutsleeve."
He stops speaking, the driver raises the long whip in his hand, brings up dust, and leaves.
Zhao Jiangui stands in the same place, whole head and face plastered with smoke and dust, and in his heart he feels a bit wronged.
He also isn't a cutsleeve.
But a gentleman must live up to his word*, since he promised the martial world's seniors that he would seduce the Demon Head, such a thing he still had to do.
His light skills are sufficiently placed in Jianghu's top ten, running down the Demon Head wouldn't be very difficult.
...
He can totally chase and seduce the Demon Head!

Translator's Notes:
* Original is "君子一言，快马一鞭" but it seems about equivalent to "君子一言，驷马难追"
What I translated as "light skills" here is 轻功 because I think it fits best for continued context. If anyone has a better suggestion, let me know! Also, this is the chapter I first fell in love with Ji Han. I hope you did, too.:)
