Chapter 21 Duel
People who like to watch the fun started talking again.
"I'm really worried about you, Miss! If it were me, I would just give up."
"Alas, the world is going downhill. Although strength is respected, what's the difference between this and robbery? At least we have to go through the procedures."
"People who are unable to cultivate will not be able to use the magic weapon. It is better to give it to those with better strength. Only in this way can the cultivators make progress."
"That's true, but everything should be done according to the rules."
"Yes! This second young lady is so unruly, I've never seen anything like this in my life!"
"Patriarch Gu didn't even come to take charge of the situation. It seems that he condoned the Second Miss's actions."
…
Seeing that Gu Yaoyao remained silent, Gu Liyue said helplessly, "Second sister, as long as you pay the price you offered, I will accept your challenge."
"What? If the eldest lady really agrees, she'll be in big trouble. I heard the second lady bullies the eldest lady all the time. Now that she's on the ring, her life and death will be decided by fate!"
"Yes! Judging from the extent of Second Miss's dislike for Eldest Miss, it seems that Eldest Miss is doomed today."
At this time, Gu Yaoyao finally spoke: "Okay, my prize is the mid-grade robe that my father gave me."
"Although the value of the mid-grade robes is not as great as that of the armor, I can accept it." Gu Liyue looked completely unconcerned. "Let's find a witness!"
Gu Yaoyao finally calmed down after hearing this. She said, "That's exactly what I meant."
At this time, the Fourth Princess and Nie Hengzhou came over.
Gu Yaoyao said to the Fourth Princess, "Your Highness, could you please ask Master Nie to be a witness?"
Xiao Furou looked at Nie Hengzhou and said, "Brother Nie, please help me be a witness."
Nie Hengzhou glanced at Gu Liyue, seeing her relaxed and at ease, then glanced at Xiao Furou and said, "Okay."
Gu Yaoyao led everyone to the Gu family's martial arts training ground, which was a place for the Gu family's children to compete in martial arts.
When the guests saw that something interesting was going to happen, they all followed Gu Yaoyao, wanting to watch this duel that seemed to have already decided the outcome.
Since everyone thought that Gu Liyue couldn't practice and had no spiritual power, Nie Hengzhou had people prepare paper and pen and placed them on the table next to the martial arts stage.
This is truly a unique competition.
The participants of an ordinary martial arts competition are two people with spiritual powers. They only need to sign a contract and fight in the martial arts field until the winner is determined. The winner will get the prize.
Of course, there are also those who gamble their lives. After taking the oath, the duel is not considered complete until one party dies.
However, gambling with one's life rarely happens within a noble family.
Both types of competitions are governed by the rules of Heaven. If one party violates the rules, they will be punished by Heaven, which will also affect the cultivator's Dao heart and foundation.
Today's duel is between a cultivator and a person who is considered unable to practice. It can only be recorded with paper and pen, and the binding force depends on the strength of the notary.
Among this group of people, Nie Hengzhou is the most suitable notary.
He is quite powerful and can be considered neutral. He has little connection with the people of Donglin Kingdom.
Nie Hengzhou called them over and asked them whether they wanted to stop at a certain point, stop when one party admitted defeat, decide the winner when one party was knocked off the ring, or whether they wanted to fight to the death.
Nie Hengzhou looked at Gu Liyue, but Gu Liyue looked at Gu Yaoyao, who was full of confidence.
"Sister, just admit defeat!"
"I can't give up my armor for no reason."
"Then fight. Actually, I don't want to duel with you either." She moved closer to Gu Liyue and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Who told you to always cling to the Third Prince? And you even got the armor he was going to give me!"
After saying that, he stepped back and said, "Since you say so, big sister, let's duel until we die!"
Nie Hengzhou originally thought that with him as the notary, he could always help Gu Liyue a little, but he didn't expect that Gu Yaoyao actually wanted to kill her. He looked at Gu Liyue's expression carefully and always felt that she had a backup plan.
He asked, "Ms. Gu, do you agree with Miss Gu? Do you want a duel?"
Gu Liyue looked at Gu Yaoyao and saw her arrogant look.
Although the two are half-sisters, Gu Yaoyao often bullied the original owner and finally teamed up with Xiao Xianchuan to take the original owner's life.
She promised the original master to help her with revenge. Since Gu Yaoyao gave her this opportunity, she would not be polite.
"Ah! Second sister, do you really want to duel? You must think it through carefully. Once you make a decision, you won't regret it."
Seeing her like that, Gu Yaoyao thought she was scared, so she said firmly, "I choose to duel."
"You really won't change? You will never regret it?" Gu Liyue asked again.
"I won't change, and I will never regret it. Big sister, please be straightforward. We are all grown up, and we must be responsible for our own actions." Gu Yaoyao thought she was going to go back on her word, and said immediately.
"Okay!" Gu Liyue replied seemingly helplessly.
Seeing that they had already discussed it and prepared the paper contract, Nie Hengzhou said, "Since it's decided, don't change it. Otherwise, you're not giving me face, so don't blame me for being rude."
Gu Yaoyao said confidently, "I will never change it."
The two of them signed their names. Gu Liyue asked Aunt Yu to take out the bag containing the armor, and Gu Yaoyao also took out her mid-grade robes.
After the two people confirmed that it was correct, they handed it to Nie Hengzhou for safekeeping.
Nie Hengzhou signaled them to go on stage for a duel.
Gu Liyue slowly climbed up the ladder beside the ring.
Gu Yaoyao sneered at her and jumped onto the stage from the edge.
When the audience saw the performance of these two people on stage, they seemed to have seen the ending.
Someone said with regret: "This young lady will undoubtedly lose today, and it's a duel. It looks like she will be beaten to death."
"In the Qingxuan Continent, duels happen almost every day. However, it's quite intriguing that the family didn't stop the duel between two sisters!"
"Actually, I understand. A person without spiritual power who makes no contribution to the family but takes possession of good things should be abandoned by the family!"
"Look, it's begun. This second young lady is really fierce. She attacks fiercely right from the start. She's planning to end the battle quickly."
Everyone watched the duel between the two people on the stage intently.
As soon as she got on the stage, Gu Yaoyao rushed to Gu Liyue and attacked her fiercely.
Every time the young lady was about to be hit, she would dodge in a strange way.
Everyone felt that: Gu Yaoyao hit very hard, but Gu Liyue dodged very easily.
"What's going on? The young lady's steps are very strange!"
After seeing this scene, any discerning person should have a different assessment of the strength of the two people on the stage. The eldest lady is not as weak as everyone thinks, and the second lady is not as strong as everyone imagines.
After dozens of rounds, Gu Liyue was only hit once by Gu Yaoyao, and it didn't hit the vital parts.
Seeing Gu Liyue panting and looking like she was about to collapse.
Although Gu Yaoyao was also a little tired, she always felt tired easily since she fused with the strange fire.
But she was still very confident of winning this duel. It was just that she had not been able to defeat the opponent for dozens of rounds, so she had to use all her strength.
She summoned her spirit sword and glanced at Gu Liyue.
