Chi Tianfeng kept his word. After the meeting between Yu Honghao and him, Hua Tingfei followed Yu Honghao's instructions and came to ask for someone again. Chi Tianfeng didn't stop him too much and let Hua Tingfei take the person away.
The two walked out of the Tianfeng Group headquarters, Hua Tingfei walked in front, and Yao Yingjie followed silently. After walking for a while, Hua Tingfei turned back and asked, "Have you gained any insights after staying in there for so many days?"
Yao Yingjie remained silent.
Hua Tingfei walked up to Yao Yingjie, looked at his expression, and said angrily: "Look at you like this... you have no energy at all. What? Are you depressed after encountering some setbacks?"
Yao Yingjie glanced at Hua Tingfei and asked: "What do you want to say? Just say it. I know that you must have spent a lot of effort to fish me out. It can't be nothing."
When Hua Tingfei saw Yao Yingjie talking like this, he stopped talking and said directly: "I got you out in the name of the alliance, but the other party knows that you are not from the alliance, so now you must join the alliance, This time is necessary, otherwise, no one will stand up to protect you again in the future."
"Join the alliance...you know I will definitely refuse." Yao Yingjie said slowly: "Change your request, this one won't work."
Hua Tingfei said sternly: "Do you think you have any choice? You are in this situation now."
Yao Yingjie was silent. Indeed, he was in a very bad situation now. After this incident, he was at odds with the Tianfeng Group. I am afraid that he would inevitably have unpredictable friction with these guys in the future. If you don't take advantage of the trend and enter the alliance, it won't work on your own.
But he has always subjectively refused to enter the alliance. First, he likes "freedom" and cannot stand the various "restraints" of organizations and groups. Second, he once asked the alliance for help, but the other party did not give him Deserve help. Therefore, he still has great resistance to the alliance.
Hua Tingfei looked at the silent young man in front of him, and said after a moment: "I also understand your thinking. Let's use the most direct way between heroes to decide whether you can join the alliance, how about it?"
Hearing this, Yao Yingjie asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
Hua Tingfei continued: "Let us make a bet between you and me. Just make a verbal agreement. You and I will challenge each other to a fight. If you can beat me, it means that the temple of the Alliance really can't let you go." Great God, then the world is free for you to go. I will not stop you, and I will never bother you with whether you can join the alliance or not. If you lose, you must obey my arrangement and enter the alliance to work for me. How about it? Do you dare to accept this bet?"
"Do you think this is fair? I know that your endogenous power level is solid and extraordinary, and you have rich combat experience. Are you fighting me? Do you think I have a chance of winning?" Yao Yingjie curled his lips and complained. . He knew that Hua Tingfei's inner power had now reached the first level of transcendence, which was very different from his current sixth level seal. It was not at the same level at all. If he fought against him, there would be no chance of winning.
Hua Tingfei shook his head and said: "When you were in the academy, you should know something, that is, the level of endogenous power cannot directly represent the specific actual combat power. There are many factors that affect combat power. Although you and I have The gap in source power levels is too big, but that doesn’t mean you have no chance of winning. How about it? Just say, do you want to bet or not?”
Yao Yingjie remained silent, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"It seems that you still don't dare to accept it. You went to Tianfeng Group without even thinking about it, and beat ten with one, or even more. Where was the courage then?" Hua Tingfei deliberately provoked Yao Yingjie and looked at him Will you agree to this bet?
"You don't have to provoke me like this!" Yao Yingjie replied a little unconvinced: "Isn't it just a bet? I'll take it."
"Okay, it's a deal." Hua Tingfei smiled with satisfaction. Yao Yingjie finally agreed to his proposal: "How about I give you three days to prepare? Is that enough? In three days, this will be what we are now. Time, Akagi Alliance Training Center Branch, Simulation War Room, waiting for you, see you there."
"Simulated war room? Not actual combat?" Yao Yingjie was a little surprised when he heard that it was a simulated war room.
"The simulation war room can simulate any combat environment that is closest to actual combat. It is not much different from actual combat. Although it costs a lot to start up once, you don't have to worry about it, I will bear it. Of course, if you want to combat on the ground That's okay, let's pick a place." Hua Tingfei explained.
"No need, just simulate it." Yao Yingjie replied: "Wait for me in three days."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Remember, be well prepared. You'd better fight me this time with the determination to kill me and don't hold anything back. Otherwise, you can just admit defeat."
"It must be as you wish."
After the two agreed, they separated and left.
…………
"What? You want to duel with Hua Tingfei?"
After Yao Yingjie returned to the tavern, he talked to Qin Yikun about what happened during this period and realized that he had made the mistake of being too reckless. Qin Yikun also tried to persuade and comfort him. After all, no one would be able to feel calm when encountering such a thing. Qin Yikun was shocked when he heard Yao Yingjie talking about his bet with Hua Tingfei.
"Yingjie, are you sure you want to duel him?" Qin Yikun asked again, wanting to confirm the situation.
Yao Yingjie nodded and said, "I have no choice but to make a desperate move."
Qin Yikun shook his head and said: "Yingjie, you should know the value of these titles as one of the Five Tigers of the Alliance, the leader of the Alliance Investigation Team, and the leader of the younger generation of Red Phoenix Warriors, right? Hua Tingfei doesn't look at his usual loose appearance. Normally, if he really wants to take action, his combat power is very high. There are probably not many brave warriors in the entire Red Phoenix who can defeat him. His current status is achieved step by step by himself... ...You actually agreed to this bet, you are still too impulsive."
Qin Yikun slapped the table with his hand, and then said: "This Hua Tingfei actually made such a request. This is obviously an asymmetric duel. No, I have to talk to him. This is a bit bullying."
"Brother Qin, don't go looking for him. I accepted the bet voluntarily. Not to mention the question of whether to enter the alliance or not, I also have a little bit of yearning for the duel with him. I also want to see it. Look, Hua Tingfei...how much strength he has." Yao Yingjie dissuaded. To be honest, as a young generation of brave men, Hua Tingfei's name resounds throughout the entire Red Phoenix. Yao Yingjie had heard about some of Hua Tingfei's deeds when he was still in the academy. Therefore, for a long time, he also had a trace of desire. I want to see how strong Hua Tingfei is and how far behind I am.
Qin Yikun took a deep breath and said: "Hey... you, you, I thought you didn't have the so-called competitive spirit. It seems that I was wrong. You also have it, but you don't show it very much. Okay. , you can take charge of this matter yourself. Anyway...you are definitely going to join the alliance."
Yao Yingjie shrugged, expressing his helplessness. Whatever happened on your own impulse should be regarded as the price of your impulse.
"By the way, Brother Qin, what's going on with Xiaoxue?" Yao Yingjie suddenly remembered that Xiao Xuelin hadn't contacted him for a long time, and asked, "I contacted her before, but no one answered the phone."
Qin Yikun sighed and said, "It's nothing, Xiaoxue should have gone home."
"Going home?!" Yao Yingjie was very surprised. He knew that Xiao Xuelin ran out on her own, but coming home suddenly... the feeling was not good.
"Yes, home." Qin Yikun said with certainty: "Her brother, I don't know if you have heard of it, is Xiao Yunpeng. He came to Chicheng to find her in person and wanted to take her back. At first she was unwilling to go back, but later she followed The conditions her brother made were to find a way to rescue you. As long as you can come out safely, she will go home with him. Now that you have come out, I think...she has most likely returned home. "
"Have you gone back yet..." Yao Yingjie said to himself in a daze. He didn't expect that his regained freedom would mean the departure of the thought in his heart, which felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Looking at Yao Yingjie's expression, Qin Yikun naturally understood how Yao Yingjie was feeling at this time. Both of them were silent for a while, and Qin Yikun said: "Actually... if you really like her and are sure you want to be with her, then be brave and chase her. The Xiao family's headquarters is in Fengling City, so you can too Go to Fengling, although their family has a big business, strong financial resources, extraordinary reputation and status, you are also a very outstanding being, you have to be confident, you can do it."
When Yao Yingjie heard what Qin Yikun said, he smiled sheepishly and said, "I...Oh! I don't know what position I am in her heart now. She is so beautiful, has a good figure, and has a nice personality. Whether it’s Pin Nei or her family is so wealthy, I’m afraid there’s already a long queue of suitors behind her.”
When Qin Yikun heard Yao Yingjie's words, he said with some hatred: "Yingjie... when did you start to feel inferior? You were not like this before."
Yao Yingjie remained silent.
Qin Yikun stood up, patted Yao Yingjie's shoulder, and advised: "Since you are sure of your feelings for her, then be brave and pursue her. If you are timid and don't take the initiative, doesn't it mean that you are sending Xiaoxue to someone else?" Are you pushing her into the arms of a man? As I said, her family is indeed very wealthy and has great status and prestige, but you are also a very outstanding brave man. Are you still afraid of those rich young men? Afraid of being compared with them? Although you can't do it now I know what Xiaoxue is thinking, but at the very least, you should try your best to do what you can and have the ability to do, do your best, and obey fate. If in the end, Xiaoxue just treats you as a good friend, nothing else The idea is that you two are not destined to be destined, but at least you have tried hard. Even if there is no destiny and you can't get together, you won't regret it for the rest of your life... Listen to the big brother, if you like her, go for her. Don’t leave yourself with any regrets.”
Hearing what Qin Yikun said, Yao Yingjie nodded. He also felt that what Brother Qin said was quite reasonable. Since he likes it, he should be brave and take the initiative to fight for it.
"How about we also make a bet?" Qin Yikun suddenly smiled and suggested.
"What?" Yao Yingjie looked at Qin Yikun in confusion.
Qin Yikun then left here, and after a while, he came back again with a special small box in his hand. Qin Yikun placed the small box in front of Yao Yingjie, then slowly opened it, and a burst of bright blue light emanated from it. I saw something like a necklace lying quietly inside.
"This is..." Yao Yingjie looked at the thing in front of him, a little puzzled. He saw something similar to the shape of a water drop hanging from one end of the necklace. With his knowledge, he couldn't recognize what material it was made of. Moreover, with the appearance of this thing, the humidity in the surrounding air seems to have increased.
Qin Yikun introduced with some pride: "This pendant was excavated from an ancient ruins by an adventure group. It is not clear what material it is made of. It is completely impossible to cut and process it with our current technology. According to the materials in the ruins, Ancient texts infer that the name of this pendant is Hai Xin Jade."
"Hai Xin Jade...this pendant should be very valuable, right? How did you get it?" Yao Yingjie asked.
Qin Yikun smiled and replied: "This was obtained in exchange for information that was very valuable to that adventure group."
"Brother Qin, you are really good!" Hearing Qin Yikun's answer, Yao Yingjie admired Qin Yikun's ability to engage in intelligence from the bottom of his heart and gave him a thumbs up.
After Qin Yikun closed the box, he said: "The value of this thing is actually difficult to estimate at the moment. After all, its material cannot be ascertained and it cannot be processed."
"Then what is the bet you are talking about?" Yao Yingjie then asked.
"Just use it as a bet. If you can chase Xiao Xuelin and win the beauty back, this sea heart jade will be yours. If someone is interested in you but you don't seize the opportunity, then this thing has nothing to do with you. , Not only that, you also have to calculate all the expenses for food, drink, housing and transportation here over the years." Qin Yikun said with a bit of a "smirk".
"Ah..." Yao Yingjie really didn't expect the second half of Qin Yikun's words, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
Qin Yikun saw Yao Yingjie's confused expression and asked, "How is it? Do you dare to accept this bet?"
After a slight hesitation, Yao Yingjie replied decisively: "Just take it! What's so hard about it!" There was a sense of being open-minded about everything in his words.
"Hahaha, this is so ridiculous."
"Brother Qin, you can't cheat. Don't cheat on me when I win."
"Don't worry about this. I, Mr. Qin, will do what I say. You should still worry about whether Xiaoxue will be abducted by other men, hahahahaha..."
The two were talking and laughing, creating a cheerful atmosphere. In fact, Qin Yikun and Yao Yingjie have been together for so long that they have long regarded each other as family members. Qin Ji Tavern is also regarded by Yao Yingjie as his "home", a place where he can rely on and trust.
