Rong Fei did not dodge, but forcefully received Qiu Yue'e's two air-splitting palms.
The powerful palm wind hit Rong Fei's chest, making two muffled sounds. For a moment, Rong Fei felt that his breathing was a little stagnant, but that was all.
Qiu Yue'e first looked embarrassed, and then said angrily.
"If it weren't for the fact that the power of the Fenghou Statue wasn't running low now, you would have been beaten by me until you vomited blood and had teeth all over the floor."
Rong Fei smiled slightly and said to Qiu Yuee.
"I have received two palms from Miss Qiu. I wonder if Miss Qiu dares to receive one palm from me."
"Why don't you dare? Just let your horse come over."
Qiu Yue'e raised her forehead and said proudly.
Rong Fei nodded and didn't waste any time. He raised his right palm and shot it out from the air, and at the same time used his magical power to call the wind.
The wind roared, but this time it was no longer the small whirlwind before, but a storm blew directly in front of Qiu Yuee.
Although Qiu Yue'e had taken adequate precautions, she was still blown backwards by the violent wind and hit the wall. Moreover, the strong wind was still blowing fiercely, making her feel like a human-shaped painting was hung on the wall. She could neither get down nor move, and her breathing became extremely difficult.
At this time, Rong Fei had already mastered the magical power of calling wind and rain, so although the storm was violent, it only targeted Qiu Yue'e alone, but had no impact on himself and Qiu Moyan.
"My little girl is reckless, please show mercy to nephew Shouzhengxian."
Qiu Moyan was worried that his daughter would be injured and quickly asked Rong Fei for mercy.
Rong Fei withdrew his magical power, and Qiu Yue'e slipped from the wall, but her feet were unsteady and she almost fell down.
"Humph, bullying me is nothing."
Qiu Yue'e clenched her pink fists and glared at Rong Fei angrily.
Rong Fei was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned his head to look at Qiu Moyan and smiled without saying a word.
Having already proven his strength, it was now up to Corporal Li Xian, the master of Qiu City, to make an invitation, and then take the opportunity to put forward corresponding conditions.
Both sides get what they need, just like the thunder that stirred the earth and the fire that day...
"Haha...cough cough...cough cough, nephew Shouzheng has great skills...cough cough cough..."
Qiu Moyan coughed violently, causing his face to turn red and veins to pop up on his forehead.
Seeing this, Qiu Yue'e hurriedly stroked Qiu Moyan's back to persuade him.
"Dad, please stop saying a few words. Your health is important."
After persuading him, he glared at Rong Fei fiercely, as if Rong Fei was the culprit that caused Qiu Moyan's condition to be so bad.
By pushing open the door again, he ordered the guard in the courtyard in a hurried tone.
"Go and ask Uncle Liu to cook some medicine."
After a while, Qiu Moyan stopped coughing, but his breathing was still a bit heavy, and he sighed with a desolate expression.
"I am old and useless. How about asking nephew Shouzheng Xian to go to the guest room to rest for a while, and then we can talk after the old man has taken the medicine?"
"That's fine."
Rong Fei nodded in response.
"But there's no need to go to the guest room. If it's convenient, I'd like to read in the study."
"Nephew Shouzheng Xian is smart and studious... cough cough cough... I am proud... cough cough..."
Rong Fei was led to the study by his guards. When only father and daughter were left in the room, Qiu Moyan stopped coughing. His eyes were slightly narrowed, his expression changing, as if he was making an important decision in his heart.
"Dad, this guy's origins are unknown, so you must not trust him easily."
Qiu Yue'e didn't know why she was so hostile to Rong Fei, so she gritted her teeth and said.
Qiu Moyan turned a deaf ear. After thinking for a long time, he lightly tapped the tabletop with his fingers and said in a deep voice.
"The competition will begin in two days. The situation is urgent and there is no other consideration. I will only wrong you by then."
When Qiu Yue'e heard this, her face turned pale, her body swayed slightly, and she said with a somewhat unwilling expression.
"It's all because the child is not a man that Qingfeng City has fallen into this situation. Father, don't worry, the child is willing to do anything for the continuation of Qingfeng City. But... please give the child a chance."
Qiu Moyan only had one daughter, and she had been doting on her since she was a child. Seeing Qiu Yue'e's face full of humiliation and unwillingness in her words made her feel uncomfortable. He sighed and nodded.
"My father knows it."
Rong Fei briefly flipped through a few historical books in the study, which gave him a general understanding of the small world in this ruins.
Although more detailed information can be obtained from Qiu Moyan and his daughter, Rong Fei is just a passer-by here and has no intention of staying long, so there is really no need to know too much.
The only regret is that there are no books in the study that introduce the temple and the statue of Fenghou enshrined in the city. It seems that we can only find a way to find out from Qiu Moyan's mouth.
Not long after, Qiu Yue'e helped Qiu Moyan to the study.
After the three of them took their seats, Qiu Moyan, who had already made his decision, got straight to the point and went straight to the topic.
"I would like to hire nephew Shouzheng Xian to represent Qingfeng City in the competition that will be held in two days. Is it possible?"
"I have my wish, but I dare not invite you."
Rong Fei didn't show any pretense and agreed with a smile.
"Haha, okay, okay. With my nephew's full help, I think this competition will have a satisfactory result. But I don't know what my nephew has to ask for. I don't need to be polite, just ask for it."
Qiu Yue'e's slightly rosy face suddenly turned pale again, and she glared at Rong Fei angrily.
"Requests...there are indeed a few."
Rong Fei pondered.
"But my nephew only knows a little bit about the battle. I hope the city lord can explain it in detail. Only in this way can I judge how sure I am."
Qiu Moyan nodded, and then motioned to Qiu Yue'e, asking her to explain the rules of the competition in detail.
"The competition between the thirteen main cities is a divine law set by the temple at the beginning of the creation of the world. It aims to resolve disputes between cities through this method and avoid involving innocent people. No one is allowed to violate it..."
Qiu Yue'e calmed down, coughed slightly and spoke in a cold voice.
The competition between the thirteen main cities is held every hundred years. At that time, each city must use its city as a bargaining chip to bet on the market. At least three chips must be staked in each main city, that is, three cities.
The competition is divided into two sides: challenge and challenge. The challenger needs to bet two chips to choose the challenger, while the challenger only needs to use one chip to challenge.
If the challenger wins, he or she will win a chip from the challenger.
If defeated, the challenger wins two chips from the challenger.
If the challenger knows that he is outmatched, he can also choose to admit defeat directly, and the challenger will still win a chip.
The challenger who wins the battle can come off the field multiple times to challenge, and the losing challenger gets one chance to refuse the challenge.
There is no need to pay chips for refusing to challenge.
The main city that has lost all its chips will be eliminated, and the ranking will be based on the order of elimination, thus determining the length of time that the statue of the god enshrined in the main city will receive the blessing of divine light in the temple.
If there are no more cities under the main city that can be used as bargaining chips, all the rights of the family that originally controlled the main city will be deprived, and the temple will designate a new family to take charge of the main city.
Over the past thousand years, four of the thirteen main cities in the world of Datong have changed their owners. Judging from the current situation, Qingfeng City under the control of the Qiu family will also follow in the footsteps of the four other families.
"Hmm... may I ask how many chips Qingfeng City can offer this time?"
After listening to Qiu Yue'e's story and understanding the general situation of the competition, Rong Fei asked.
Qiu Moyan stretched out three fingers with a desolate expression.
"Including the main city, there are three in total."
