Hearing this, the young man took a long breath and repeated a little sluggishly: "Pick...... Challenge?"

"Yes, a challenge. Xia Kucao nodded with a smile, and then introduced him very enthusiastically: "In the words of your nobles, it is a duel, huh...... You know what a duel is, right?"

Nonsense! Yes, of course!

The young man who responded loudly in his heart turned pale, but he didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's ridicule, because his mind was now full of thoughts, all about how to refuse the occurrence of this duel that seemed to him to be life-threatening.

In his eyes, Xia Kucao is a person who not only has the courage to kill nobles, but also has the ability to kill nobles, such people are all crazy people with the idea of killing one to save their capital and kill two to earn one, and although he is not a blue-blooded nobleman, he is also a second-class glorious nobleman, and he thinks that his identity is much more expensive than the identity of a commoner in Charvalella, in this case, how dare he play with such a character?

But the excuse for the prunella duel was excellent—fighting for honor was probably the most common reason for dueling in the world, but it was precisely because of its universality that it proved to be effective.

Because no matter what the big and small nobles think in their hearts, reputation is indeed the most important thing on the surface - even more important than life, although Xia Kucao is not a nobleman, and young people don't think that he will value reputation more than life, but since Xia Kucao is now a participant in the blood oath of revenge, he enjoys another participant - that is, Bai Li, the identity of the blue-blooded nobleman, so if Xia Kucao really insists on this and proposes a duel under the pretext of maintaining his reputation, he doesn't seem to have much to do?

No...... Think about it......

There seems to be a way.

It is true that he cannot directly refuse the other party's dueling request, because the reason why the nobles are nobles must fulfill their responsibilities to their subjects under the premise of enjoying superior rights - although many nobles today have long forgotten this, but the quality related to this - responsibility is still a point that today's nobles attach great importance to.

As the former great nobleman said - nobles can be ruthless, cunning, domineering and even cruel, but nobles must not be without responsibility.

Therefore, once he retreats, the rest of the nobles will be ashamed to be with him, and his family is only a small family with no name, and it is impossible to keep him from being directly removed from the noble council that is ashamed.

But as Hai Jinsha said, the rules among the nobles are often not too rigid - because the real glorious nobles of the ancient times did not think that it was necessary, and as aristocrats, they should rely on their own consciousness rather than the so-called rules to determine their words and deeds.

It's just that this noble original intention has long been tasted under the guidance of the increasingly depraved spirit of today's aristocracy, and it has gradually derived some other meanings.

So, there is a roundabout approach.

It's simple –

Xia Kucao believes that he has ruined his reputation, and is the initiator of the rumor of the title of 'College Double Waste', although he is, but he can deny it - because the other party has no evidence, so he can even use it to accuse Xia Kucao of slander, and even start a duel - of course, he will not do that.

Although this method is a bit shameless, the current aristocracy ...... Don't you prefer this kind of shamelessness that is unreasonable?

This was the wisdom of the aristocracy, and he admired it, and liked to watch the helpless expressions on the faces of these untouchables in the face of this wisdom.

Thinking of this, the young man's heart was overjoyed, and he was ready to throw off the scoundrel, but his mouth was already open, but he suddenly remembered what the senior had explained......

......

Xia Kucao smiled and looked at the change in the expression on the face of the young man in front of him, his provocation seemed a little rash, but in fact, no matter what the result was, it was rewarding for him.

He knew very well that the other party would most likely not say yes for the reasons stated above, and if the other party agreed......

Just thinking of this, a fierce color suddenly appeared on the young man's face, and then he said extremely fiercely: "Okay, I accept your request for a duel. ”

......

Xia Kucao couldn't help but squint her eyes when she heard this, and her expression was a little solemn - if the other party agreed, it means that these people who ruined their reputation were really as Bai Quartz thought...... It's not about stinking yourself as the ultimate goal.

And...... Obviously you don't want to duel but answer the duel request at the last minute?

It only shows that they are indeed coming for me.

Prunella's speculation is not unfounded.

Because he still couldn't figure out what this group of people who stinked about themselves wanted to do - it stands to reason that he and Bai Li made a blood oath of revenge, so he had the same identity as the other party before the blood oath of revenge, and this identity was enough for Xia Kucao to enjoy the authority of the blue-blood nobles during this month - such as extremely high security permissions, and the rest of the forces, even the officials of the Codex Country, could not hurt themselves for no reason before the blood oath of revenge.

Unless he dies on his own.

For example, right now...... This duel, which he initiated on his own initiative, was not within the protection of the blood oath of revenge.

As for the purpose?

Like Shiraku, he probably wants to get the forbidden code through a duel.

The news that Xia Kucao is pregnant with the forbidden code should not be a secret in the aristocratic circles, so if they also want to get the forbidden code, those big people can only use this method to try to provoke themselves, and lead themselves to another dueling table before taking revenge with blood.

In this way, it will not be seen as breaking the blood oath of revenge and thus offending the Marquis of Alberta.

Thinking of this, Xia Kucao couldn't help but feel a headache, he actually had four things hidden in his heart all along, one of which was naturally the bloody oath of revenge that was unfolded twenty days later, and the other was to find out whether Su Hexiang and the Holy See behind him had the purpose of himself, and then there was this undercurrent surging in the dark, and finally ...... It's about thinking about how to adjust the way of getting along with that Bai Changshan.

It was only when he let down his guard against the Holy See behind Su Hexiang, but he unexpectedly tested the undercurrent surging in the academy...... Sure enough, it came for himself-

Moreover, the other side is already very close to success......

......

"Hey!" the young man frowned, looking at the prunella grass who didn't belong in his mind, although he was extremely nervous now, he was still a little puzzled by the other party's somewhat sudden absence.

But he was anxious to finalize the date of the duel, which must be in time for the bloody revenge, so he did not think much about it, but said with confidence: "I accept your request for a duel, then, according to tradition, without any conditions attached, one side decides the time and the other decides the place." ”

This was also the moment to verify Xia Kucao's conjecture in his heart, so he didn't stop it, just looked at the other party coldly, but he pretended to be unintentional and walked towards the other party.

"It's up to you to propose the duel, so it's up to me to decide whether the duel is at a time or a place. ”

After a pause, the young man glanced at the prunella grass that was slowly approaching him, and didn't think too much, but said a little nervously: "I choose the time, then, this duel will be arranged in ten days, and the location ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was forced to stop, for he had an incredible sight of a fist enlarging in front of his eyes—

Then he heard the other party's answer-

"Fight now!"

The battle between the two sealers began.
