Looking at the other person's retreating figure, Qiu Fei was stunned on the spot.
What does Bao Laosan want to do?
Is this a complete settlement of the grudge between the two?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Qiu Fei didn't pay much attention.
When he returned to the cave, before he had time to rest, he felt waves of fluctuations coming from the formation at the entrance of the cave.
Someone visits.
Qiu Fei opened the cave and saw the fat Liu Xi standing upright at the entrance of the cave.
"You're so good, kid!"
Liu Xi stared at Qiu Fei with an expressionless face, "Just now, Bao Laosan spent 500 sect points to apply for the 'Duel Stage' from Captain Zhong."
"Dueling stage?"
Qiu Fei looked surprised. Is this Bao Laosan's way of threatening himself to "wait to die"?
He naturally knows what a "dueling stage" is.
It is introduced in the "Disciple Handbook" issued by the sect.
The "Duel Stage" is a form of duel in the arena, which was specially set up by the sect to resolve personal grievances between disciples.
Within the sect, private fights are strictly prohibited, and once discovered, the Discipline Hall will severely punish them.
However, in the daily process of cultivation, production, and life, there will always be more or less personal grievances accumulated between disciples.
If these grievances are not resolved in time, they will accumulate over time and will inevitably have a great impact on the normal operation of the sect.
For minor personal grievances, find a high-level intermediary to persuade them, and the weak party can settle the matter by spending some money.
And once personal grudges involve love and hatred, and it is difficult for one party to resolve the hatred in his heart without death, the only way to resolve it is to go to the "dueling stage".
Once you get on the duel stage, there is no turning back.
The two sides in the duel can only fight with their lives until the decision is made between life and death.
Although there was an unpleasant incident between Qiu Fei and Bao Laosan over the "newbie fee" incident, it was a minor grudge and should not be considered a life-or-death feud.
But Bao Laosan made a big show of wanting to solve the problem through a "dueling stage". Isn't it a bit too much?
"Didn't I just beat this kid up? How about it escalate to a life-and-death battle?"
Qiu Fei smiled helplessly.
"You know you're scared?"
Liu Xi saw Qiu Fei's expression in his eyes and said, "Captain Zhong asked me to inform you that the duel will be held in ten days. You have ten days to prepare."
Ten days is too short to prepare anything.
"Senior Brother Liu..."
Qiu Fei asked curiously: "You just said that Bao Laosan spent 500 sect points for this 'Duel Stage'?"
"yes!"
Liu Xi looked at Qiu Fei doubtfully, "You don't think that just anyone can apply for the 'Duel Stage', right? Isn't the sect in chaos?
Within the sect, everything is done with care.
First of all, you must be a disciple who has been a disciple for more than three years; secondly, you must have 500 sect points; and finally, you must obtain the consent of your superior. "
"It seems that everything you do requires sect points."
Qiu Fei smiled maliciously, "I didn't expect Bao Laosan to be so rich! I don't know how much of this is for blackmailing new disciples.
So is this guy!
If you discuss it with me in advance, you only need 300 sect points. If you want to beat or scold him, I won't say anything!
What kind of 'dueling stage' is this? It's such a waste! "
Liu Xi looked at Qiu Fei speechlessly.
When he saw the smile on the other side's lips, he couldn't help but say, "Brother, please bring some snacks. This is a duel stage, a life and death battle!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu, for your concern."
Qiu Fei smiled "hehe" and said nonchalantly: "Three months ago, I could beat him until his teeth were all over the floor. Three months later, I have no reason to be afraid of him!"
"I forgot your kid just passed the test."
Liu Xi understood Qiu Fei's thoughts.
He took out the dagger that was a low-grade treasure and handed it to Qiu Fei, "I'm giving this little thing to you. I hope it can bring you good luck."
Qiu Fei looked at Liu Xi and didn't know what to say.
This was the only concern expressed to him by a person with a foreign surname in ten years.
Taking the dagger, he said emotionally: "Senior Brother Liu, thank you!"
"Boy, I like you!"
Liu Xi patted Qiu Fei on the shoulder and said, "Don't go to the mines for these ten days. Just prepare for the duel at home. Don't let me down."
After that, he turned and left.
Qiu Fei returned to the cave and fell into deep thought.
Bao Laosan spent a huge amount of money to launch the "Duel Stage", which was by no means as simple as resolving the grudges between the two on the surface.
Is it possible...
Thinking of Bao Laosan's despicable behavior in the past, Qiu Fei thought of a possibility.
When Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu forcibly demanded money from themselves, they did so in private, and no outsiders knew about it.
Bao Laosan asked for a "newbie fee" from himself, which was actually the same behavior as Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu.
Three people are in the same league, and they only rely on squeezing new disciples to obtain training resources.
However, the sudden disappearance of Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu had a great impact on the Shiba Mining Area.
In the past three months, Bao Laosan's injuries have long been healed. According to his usually despicable and fierce temperament, he should have launched revenge long ago.
However, he didn't do this.
It was not until today after the two disappeared that the "Duel Stage" was suddenly launched. Is there any inevitable connection between them?
still……
Is he doubting himself?
He suspected that the disappearance of Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu was related to him?
Thinking of this possibility, Qiu Fei's little heart beat rapidly.
This can explain why Bao Laosan would rather spend 500 sect points to hold a "Duel Stage".
On the surface, it was to resolve the grudge between him and himself.
In fact, he wanted to take back the property of Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu from his own hands through the "Duel Stage".
There is a rule in the "Duel Arena" that the loser's property belongs to the winner.
Bao Laosan is so sure that the disappearances of Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu are related to him, he must have some kind of unknown key evidence in his hands.
He did not take out the key evidence and hand it over to the people of the Discipline Hall, but used a "dueling stage" to resolve the grudge between the two.
I have to say that Bao Laosan is very patient and calm.
If he handed the evidence to the Commandment Hall, he would be punished, but he would not get the property of Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu.
Holding a "Dueling Ring" is different.
With Bao Laosan's strength at the fifth level of the Yin Yuan Realm, it was easy to defeat himself who was only at the third level of the Yin Yuan Realm.
In this way, he challenged himself openly and openly. Even if someone with a heart found something wrong, they would have nothing to say.
After all, the grievances between the two were obvious to all.
In this way, Bao Laosan successfully concealed his true intention of plotting the property of Geng Changfei and Ji Hongyu.
Qiu Fei had to admire that although what Bao Laosan did was despicable, his acting style was very calm.
Take the "Dueling Stage" as an example. He has considered every aspect and can be said to be mature, steady and very thorough.
However, his true intention was completely covered up by him, so how could others understand the Xiao Jiujiu in his heart?
If Qiu Fei hadn't been a witness, he would have almost been fooled by his operation.
In order to prepare for the "Duel Stage" competition, Qiu Fei never went to the mining area and stayed in the cave to practice every day.
Ten days flew by.
This morning, Qiu Fei walked out of the cave.
Looking up, I saw a large crowd gathering in the square in front of the office area of Shiba Mining District opposite.
These people are miner disciples from the Shiba Mining Area.
Today is the "duel" day between Bao Laosan and Qiu Fei.
Such a duel is rare once or twice a year. Once it happens, it is as lively as a new year.
For this reason, all the disciples gave themselves a half-day holiday and stopped going to the mining area to mine. They all gathered in front of the "Duel Stage".
Just to see the "Dueling Stage" competition process.
In the middle of them, a solid platform over five feet high and three feet in size has been temporarily built.
This is the "dueling stage" between Bao Laosan and Qiu Fei.
However, the most lively thing at the moment is not the "Duel Stage", but a small bungalow not far away.
At this moment, many disciples from the mining area had gathered in front of the bungalow.
One by one, they held the nameplates in their hands and crowded in front of the bungalow door, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement.
At this time, a loud voice came from the bungalow, "Shen Jide, 100 points, buy a package and Lao San wins!"
A strong man held his nameplate tightly and finally squeezed out from the crowd. Although it was hard work, his expression was very happy.
Someone who knew this person couldn't help but ask: "Brother Shen, why are you betting a hundred? You are so cowardly in this competition where you win or lose?"
The sturdy man smiled "hehe" and said, "These one hundred points are already my entire possessions. If not, you can lend me two hundred points and I will pay you back later!"
"Go aside!"
This person quickly squeezed his nameplate and cursed: "I only have more than two hundred points. I don't even have enough. How can I lend you the extra points?"
After saying that, he ignored Shen Jide and followed the crowd towards the door.
At this time, someone would read loudly in front of the bungalow from time to time: "Fan Weicai, 300 points, if you buy a package, Laosan will win!"
"Hao Xiao, two hundred points, buy a package and Lao San will win!"
…
At this time, a person walked out of the bungalow, walked to a wooden sign hanging at the door, and modified a series of values on it.
Someone saw it and quickly exclaimed: "Senior Brother Luo, why have the odds of Bao Laosan been lowered again?"
"Senior Brother Luo" replied while changing the value: "Most brothers buy a bag and Lao San wins, so his odds will naturally be lower!"
"Isn't this too low? With odds of 0.1, even if you bet a thousand points, you will only earn a hundred points. Excluding the handling fee, there won't be much."
"Dueling is risky, so bet with caution!"
After Senior Brother Luo modified the values, he gave a reminder and turned around to enter the small bungalow.
The odds of a duel between Qiu Fei and Bao Laosan on the wooden sign become: Bao Laosan, one pays 0.1; Qiu Fei, one pays 7.9.
Looking at the odds, everyone looked helpless.
Under these odds, betting on Bao Laosan would be too disparate between returns and risks, making it no longer feasible.
Even so, it still couldn't stop the miner's disciples from continuing to place bets, betting on Bao Laosan to win as always.
No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
Qiu Fei's odds are high, so what?
Dare to buy it?
A new disciple only has the strength of the third level of the Yin Yuan Realm. How can he withstand the attack of the fifth level of the Yin Yuan Realm?
High odds are useless, they are just a tool used by bookmakers to lure gamblers.
After all, what competes in this world is strength.
