Chapter VII Gambling
In the hall, the atmosphere was a little unnatural, everyone in the Duan family, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to decide, and they looked at Duan Feichen one after another.
Duan Feichen, who was in the upper seat, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said indifferently to the leisurely Zhao Yiyi: "Miss Zhao, I just want to know if this is your will or your father's will?"
And the Zhao family was also a little puzzled, why was Duan Feichen struggling with this problem? They brought such a valuable apology, why didn't they take advantage of the situation to step down.
Not only did the people of the Zhao family not understand, but everyone in the Duan family also had some doubts.
"Feichen, you see this, the Zhao family has given enough sincerity this time, and what they said is not unreasonable, Duan Qing and Miss Zhao have not had any communication since childhood, let alone talk about feelings, what is the use of you always entangled in whose wishes? The elder who spoke before had a simmering face, a little impatient.
Anyone could see that he wanted to accept the Zhao family's apology, and when they saw him behaving like this, the Zhao family couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.
Duan Feichen shook the chair handle in his palm, and said unhurriedly: "Why, feelings are not a major event in the life of your Elder Duan Teng's son, can you just say cool things on the side?"
Hearing this, Elder Duan Teng's face froze, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, in the Duan family, even the subordinates knew that Duan Feichen loved his sons very much, although there were inevitably conflicts between the juniors, but as long as he was still there, the position of the head of the family was in his hands, and no one in the Duan family dared to object.
Seeing that Duan Teng had a calm face and didn't speak, Duan Feichen didn't care, took a sip of tea, and said concisely to Zhao Yiyi: "Actually, the incident back then was witnessed by our two families, your father and I worked together, because I saved his life, so he has to repay him no matter what, I still admire your Zhao family, whether it is you or your father." β
"I know, you think my son is lowly and unworthy of you. And that Liu Changtian is the dragon and phoenix among the people, so your Zhao family spares no effort to climb that high branch. β
After speaking, Duan Feichen glanced at Duan Qing a little helplessly, but anyone could see the love in his eyes, and after a pause, he paused and said: "Since Miss Zhao is unwilling to say whose wishes it is, it doesn't matter, I don't force it, this marriage contract can't be dissolved, I think it's better to let the parties decide." β
At this time, the relationship was already quite depressed, and a fiancΓ©e popped up for no reason, not only beautiful as a flower, but also very strong.
But it is precisely because the other party's strength is strong, and the gap with himself is too big, and he is despised by a group of people, it can be said that all the people here, the weakest also has the cultivation of the fourfold refining body, and he, a person who has just become a martial artist, sits in it, and has a feeling of sitting like pins and needles.
Seeing that his father kicked the ball to himself again, and then closed his eyes and the old god was there, Duan Qing couldn't cry or laugh.
"Miss Zhao, in fact, this matter is not a big deal, if the marriage contract is dissolved, as long as it does not affect the reputation of both parties, I don't care. Seriously, believe it or not, I don't have the slightest interest in you, at least not at all after you make an apology. He has only been in this world for a long time, but he has been despised and scolded everywhere, but he didn't take it seriously, because he felt that those who laughed at him would obediently shut up when he became a strong man in the future.
However, it was unfortunate that his time for martial arts cultivation was too short, and he had no chance to grow at all.
And the other party's previous actions undoubtedly hurt the self-esteem of the relationship, and it was undoubtedly a shame to be forced to dissolve the marriage contract step by step.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing's heart became firm, even if he was looked down upon, he couldn't let himself and the Duan family be ashamed.
"I can understand that you look down on me, but I still say that I will not break the marriage. β
Zhao Yiyi frowned, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, this relationship was really a swollen face and a fat man, and then said coldly: "Do you think that our Zhao family's apology is not enough?"
"No, I didn't mean that, on the contrary, these two treasures of the Zhao family can't be taken out by our Duan family. I just want to tell Miss Zhao, although I don't know that Liu Changtian, but I am not ridiculed, if you break the marriage contract calmly, I may still think about it, but unfortunately, when you took out these so-called apologies, you didn't take me and the Duan family into account. β
"You said, treat these as child's play, and look like our Duan family has taken a big advantage, if it were you, would you agree?"
"Hmph, I won't argue with you about this, the facts are in front of you, your conduct is known to everyone in Luoyu Town, don't think that the toad wants to eat swan meat. Zhao Yiyi's eyes showed a hint of disgust.
"If the swan is so shallow, it's okay if I don't eat this toad, but I still have to send Miss Zhao a sentence in the end, 'People don't know Lingyun Mu at the time, and they will treat Lingyun as a starting point'. Duan Qing said abnormally and slightly blandly.
Zhao Yiyi's eyes were stunned when she heard this, but she looked down on Duan Qing's ignorance even more, a pair of plain hands stroked her hair, and said with a slight mockery: "Giggles, toad? Do you mean, are you that Lingyun Mu? If I remember correctly, you are eighteen years old this year, hehe, eighteen-year-old martial artist, you are really unique, if you are a genius, then what am I? It's not that I Zhao Yiyi looks down on you, you are not worthy of being my husband!"
"With all that said, do you still refuse to break the marriage?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but it's unnecessary, since you said that I am not worthy of being your husband, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Duan Qing surprisingly did not have a trace of anger on his face, and a sentence floated out a little absent-mindedly.
After speaking, he slowly got up, walked in front of Zhao Yiyi, and looked down at the other party condescendingly.
Everyone in the Duan family looked at Duan Qing standing in front of Zhao Yiyi, and felt a little reproachful in their hearts, what qualifications did he have to bet with others, if he didn't win, it would not only be his face that he would lose.
But the corners of Duan Feichen's mouth hooked up a smile, this is his son, he will not compromise because the other party's strength is stronger than himself, it seems that this kid has experienced a lot in the past few days when he is not at home.
"Bet?" Zhao Yiyi raised her head and looked at the other party a little unpleasantly, she hated being looked at like this, especially a person who cultivated to a low position, but it was clear from the other party's eyes that it didn't look like a joke.
"That's right, bet. β
"Why should I listen to you make a bet with you, in other words, if I win the bet, what good will I do?" Zhao Yiyi said with some amusement, she felt that the other party was completely playing tricks on herself.
Duan Qing teased his eyelids and said in a playful tone: "If I win, I will unconditionally dissolve the marriage contract, and at the same time, our Duan family will also send a 'Blood Soul Grass' as the lottery for this bet, how about it?"
"What?"
This time, it was not the Zhao family who was amazed, but Elder Duan Teng of the Duan family got up in shock, pointed at Duan Qing with anger and shouted.
"Duan Qing, how can you make a bet at will, this Blood Soul Grass is one of the few treasures in my Duan family, I don't agree to bet. After speaking, he hurriedly said towards Duan Feichen. "Feichen, you still don't persuade your son, he is giving the honor and heritage of the Duan family to others. β
Looking at Duan Teng, Duan Feichen frowned and said with some unhappiness: "Elder Duan Teng, why are you so excited, sit down first, I, as a father, believe that he can make his own decisions, not to mention that he hasn't said what kind of bet he has made, if he loses, I will use my position as the head of the family as a guarantee, and I will give it up unconditionally at that time." β
After hearing his words, everyone in the Duan family was shocked and couldn't sit still, and they all said to Duan Feichen.
"Family master, no, the Blood Soul Grass is extremely precious, how can it be used as a lottery because of the three words of the relationship!"
"Yes, the head of the family, I think we should dissolve the marriage contract, after all, the relationship between our two families is not bad on weekdays, and the third young master and the eldest son of the Zhao family are close friends. β
"Dad, is it necessary for you to do this for him?" Duan Heng sat on the side, a little unable to sit still like everyone else, Duan Feichen's words made him a little jealous and resentful, obviously his cultivation was so much higher than Duan Qing, and he had done a lot of things for the family, but his father blindly helped him.
Looking at the expressions and words of everyone in the Duan family, Duan Feichen didn't make any explanation, but focused on Duan Qing, he wanted to know why Duan Qing would say this bet.
"Blood Soul Grass?Okay, Miss Ben agreed, what if I lose?What is your bet?" Hearing the voices of everyone in the Duan family, how could Zhao Yiyi not be excited, Blood Soul Grass, that is a rare elixir, although it is not as good as Juyuan Dan, but it can have miraculous effects in the treatment of soul wounds, especially since he is not only useful to people in the Body Refining Realm, but also to the powerhouses of the Yuanhua Realm.
Seeing Zhao Yiyi's unthinking promise, Duan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the other party would not agree, but everyone present testified that she would not regret it casually.
took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "My gambling contract, that is, half a year later, when my Duan family's annual sacrifice is over, I will personally take this blood soul grass to the Luoxia Sect to challenge Liu Changtian, and if I win, I will promise me one condition; β
"Wow!"
This sentence immediately caused an uproar when it fell into everyone's ears, Duan Qing completely gambled with everything he had, and basically had no chance of winning.
If you win, it's okay to say, not only has your reputation been earned, but the other party has nothing to say, but if you lose, not only will the Blood Soul Grass be given to the other party, but the reputation of yourself and the Duan family will be completely lost, and it is estimated that wherever you go, you will be ridiculed and become a laughing stock.
The Duan family and his party were a little speechless because of this sentence.
"Duan Qing, do you know what you're talking about? Challenge Liu Changtian? You are an ordinary person who has just become a martial artist, and you went to Luoxia Sect to challenge their first day, are you idle Our Duan family's blood soul grass can't be spent?" Duan Teng couldn't bear it, stood up and raised his hand to point at Duan Qing with some trembling, which showed how angry he was.
Not only him, except for Duan Feichen, the other Duan family members all thought like this, it was completely impossible to win.
"How about it, do you promise?" and Duan Qing ignored everyone, staring at Zhao Yiyi intently.
No one knows what he thinks, and Zhao Yiyi can't guess the man in front of him, obviously his strength is so low, but he still has to save face at all costs.
After a little groaning, she also got up, raised her head and looked at Duan Qing and said, "Okay, I, Zhao Yiyi, agreed, since you want to give me the Blood Soul Grass, I can't refuse, I hope you won't be too scared to come when the time comes." β
After speaking, he turned to Duan Feichen and saluted, and said slowly: "Uncle Duan, since Ling Gongzi has made a gambling contract, then I also hope that you can be the adjudicator to determine the outcome of this gambling contract. β
Seeing that the other party agreed, Duan Feichen knew that it was not appropriate for him to say it again, so he immediately said: "It's okay, then I will be respectful rather than obey, if my son is defeated, I will take the initiative to give up the position of the head of the family, so as not to worry about some people all the time." β
As he spoke, he swept a group of people from the Duan family.
"Then I took my leave. Zhao Yiyi turned around and took the Zhao family and left the Duan family under the leadership of his subordinates.
"Qing'er, you come with me. Duan Feichen saw that everyone in the Zhao family had left, left a word for Duan Qing, and got up to go to the study.
And the rest of the Duan family also left in a hurry with their own thoughts.
"Whew, I hope everything goes well. β
Duan Qing exhaled, thinking in his heart, and walked towards the study after staying for a while.
