Chapter 44: The Adversary
I thought that he had no reason to accept the bet proposed by Nalan Cangqiong this time, but Xiao Chen thought about what had happened in the past, and he was indeed the first to lose.
"Instead of leaving like this, why don't you listen to what his bet is first?" Xiao Chen thought to himself: "If it is suitable and can give me the certainty of victory, then why don't I leave openly? This will also avoid being criticized by others in the future." Although I am the only one in my Xiao family now, the reputation of the family cannot be ignored. Anyway, is it up to me to decide whether zuihou is going to stay or not, what are I afraid of him doing now?"
When Xiao Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
"What is the second son going to bet on me?"
"It used to be a fight, and now it's a fight. The sky was still smiling: "And since the battle we just fought has not yet been divided, then we might as well continue this competition now." If you are victorious, then you can walk away with all your might. I think my Nalan family is also a big family with a head and face in Xiongzhou, and I will naturally not regret it if I do things first with benevolence and righteousness. ”
Xiao Chen was silent, although his face was calm, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
"Although I am not what I used to be, this Nalan Firmament, Nalan Qionglou and Xuanyuan Lan have also greatly increased their skills in the competition with me just now. If I fight them again, I may not be able to resist the combined attack of the three of them. ”
Xiao Chen was silent for a long time and didn't answer, and the sky looked at his hesitant eyebrows and couldn't help but smile indifferently again.
"What is Xiao Ergongzi thinking about?" he asked abruptly: "It can't be that you don't have confidence in yourself now, and you think that if you are not an opponent one-on-one, you will be defeated, right?"
"What?!? one-on-one battle?!? Xiao Chen raised his head suddenly, and looked at the sky opposite in surprise: "Does Nalan Gongzi mean that he wants to fight Xiao Chen alone with the strength of one person?"
"Can't you?" Cang Qiong smiled indifferently: "Although we were three people who fought with Childe before, but because of our cunning, Childe was also injured a little. Now that it's a gambling contract, of course, it has to be fair, and if there are still three people together, wouldn't it be unfavorable to the son?"
"This ......"
Although Xiao Chen was unhappy with Nalan Cangqiong's words that were almost provocative at this time. I wanted to argue and get angry, but when I thought about it, I couldn't help but endure it.
"Forget it, whatever!" he thought, "Anyway, one-on-one is in my favor, and if it's the three of them, my odds of winning are really slim at this point." ”
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but exhale slightly. Ben came to his mouth, but at this time, he swallowed it back into his stomach.
"So did Second Prince Xiao agree?"
The sky asked with a smile. Xiao Chen thought about it, but he couldn't help but shake his hand first.
"This is not busy first, and it is not too late to clarify the rules and then do the competition. ”
Xiao Chen obviously kept an eye on it. In his eyes, a Nalan Qionglou was already difficult to deal with, and his younger brother seemed to be more resourceful than him.
"Rules?hehe, since it's a competition that hasn't been separated just now, the rules must be the same as just now. The sky said indifferently: "First, the way to win is to knock down the opponent or until the opponent concedes, and second, the limit of the venue is set within the effective range of this courtyard. If anyone dares to escape the circle during the competition, then my father will definitely beat him back. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, as if he still couldn't believe it.
"Otherwise, does Childe think there are any additional conditions?"
Xiao Chen was silent. At this time, he looked at the sky full of smiles on the opposite side for a long time, and then he couldn't help but squeeze out a smile on his originally gloomy face.
"Okay, I agreed. Xiao Chen nodded: "I hope that after the competition, if I win you, don't regret it." ”
Xiongba nodded, but his eyebrows were still full of doubt. He didn't know what kind of medicine his youngest son was selling in the gourd this time, if he really wanted to compete one-on-one, then among the three of them, Xuanyuan Lan's martial arts were naturally the highest, and he also had the best chance of winning.
"But......" Xiongba thought to himself, his brows furrowed even tighter, "but in what state was it just now?" Xiao Chen's body was sealed by Qiong Lou, and Liliang was also largely dissolved under the effect of the 'power of the waves'. Although Xiao Chen shook the two of them away with his strength after that, Xuanyuan Lan's onslaught still couldn't allow him to fully recover in a short period of time. What's more, the situation at that time was that Xiao Chen couldn't dodge, if he fought alone, with Xiao Chen's current skills, Xuanyuan Lan would not be able to directly hit him with the 'Burning Sky and Strange Fire'. What's more, now that he has fully recovered, Xuanyuan Lan should not be his opponent at all in this state. ”
Thinking like this, Xiongba's heart couldn't help but be full of worry. Xiao Chen's attitude was relatively relaxed at this time, although Xiongba was a little reluctant, he nodded to himself after all.
"Ah Sheng, get ready!"
Qiong Lou said this, and then turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Lan beside him. Xuanyuan Lan didn't have any doubts at this time, and in the face of Qiong Lou's command, he couldn't help but nod while staring at him.
"Okay, so who is my opponent?"
Xiao Chen asked, but his eyes were full of smiles and stopped at Xuanyuan Lan's body.
"Then I will be my brother's opponent. ”
Xuanyuan Lan said this, and couldn't help but take a step forward.
"I think Ah Sheng and Xiao Er Gongzi seem to have a misunderstanding, you two seem to have a misunderstanding!" Cang Tian smiled majestically, and then stepped forward in front of Xuanyuan Lan and looked straight again: "Xiao Er Gongzi, your opponent this time is not Ah Sheng, but me. ”
"What ?!?"
The words in the face of the sky were shocked, and everyone present couldn't help but speak in unison.
"Firmament, are you crazy?"
Qiong Lou's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard such a gamble from the sky, and at the same time, he couldn't help but roar angrily.
"Brother, are you so unconfident in me?"
"I ......"
Qiong Lou didn't know what to say, he looked at the smiling sky at this time, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh before his expression returned to a reluctant calm again.
"The second brother has just come back from his father's business, and he has been tired all the way, even if he wants to make a one-on-one gambling contract, it should be more appropriate for Ah Sheng to make it. Although Qiong Lou barely calmed down, his words were still full of anxiety: "First, you are physically and mentally exhausted, and second, Ah Sheng and Xiao Er Gongzi are brothers. It's both a gamble and a competition, and the two brothers compete so that it doesn't hurt the peace, doesn't it?"
"I don't plan to be angry with Xiao Ergongzi!"
Facing his brother's reminder, the sky seemed to be confused at this time, and he faced Qionglou at this time with a smile. And the excessive confidence in his gaze also made Qiong Lou even more angry.
"I said you......"
Qiong Lou wanted to stop him, but Xiongba reached out to stop him.
"Father, second brother, he ......"
"Let him go!"
Xiongba interrupted Qiong Lou's words, and that positive gaze also made Qiong Lou swallow what he was going to say back to his stomach.
