Chapter 114: On the Duel Arena

“But no matter what, this fight will offend the Elves, their strength is not something your Stephen Family can fight against!” Little Hercules said anxiously.

“Some battles, men must face!” Old Xie then pushed Little Hercules away and said indifferently, “The reason is very deep, with your IQ, it’s hard for me to explain clearly to you!” After saying that, he walked to the back, ignoring Little Hercules who was so angry that he almost fainted.

Watching Arthas and Old Xie disappear into the hall one after another, everyone couldn’t help but discuss. And the few big figures in the core area, such as the Emperor and the Clan Heads of the major families, also became uneasy.

“Why are they dueling?” The Emperor asked a bit anxiously.

“It looks like it’s because Little Stephen mocked Prince Arthas for being a sissy?” The Queen reminded gently.

“This damn Little Stephen, how can he treat our guest like this?” The Emperor couldn’t help but ask Fatty angrily.

“This, I don’t know!” The cold sweat on Fatty’s body came down, and he almost cursed Old Xie to death in his heart.

“Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss the reason, the key is how we should respond!” The Foreign Minister, the Clan Head of the Hercules Family, frowned and said, “If we don’t handle it well, I’m afraid it will cause a very serious diplomatic incident!”

“That would be troublesome!” The Emperor said anxiously at last, “Then tell me, if they fight, should we stop it or not?”

“Obviously we can’t stop it, after all, His Highness Arthas’s dagger has been thrown out, if we force to stop it, there will be suspicion of favoritism!” The Clan Head of the Augustus Family immediately said, “In my opinion, since they are completely not in the same level of fight, let them fight! Presumably with the elegance of the Elves and the bearing of His Highness Arthas, they won’t kill Little Stephen.”

“Is that so?” The Emperor hesitated a little, suddenly said, “But I heard that Little Stephen is very powerful, I don’t know if he can win against His Highness Arthas?”

“This is obviously impossible, Your Majesty!” The Clan Head of the Augustus Family immediately laughed, “His Highness Arthas is over 120 years old, and he has been practicing for decades, while Little Stephen is only 16 years old, and his practice time is less than one-third of His Highness Arthas. Moreover, don’t forget, the Elven Royal Family with a history of 100,000 years has countless treasures, as a Prince, His Highness Arthas will definitely have good things to protect him, it’s not strange even if he has a Divine Artifact. If he loses to Little Stephen like this, it would be simply incredible!”

“Oh, that’s the case!” The Emperor immediately put down his heart after hearing this, and immediately raised his glass and laughed, “Everyone, come, let’s drink!” At the same time, he thought viciously in his heart, let you bastard bully my daughter, it’s best to let His Highness Arthas beat you down.

The others naturally knew what the Emperor was thinking when they saw this, and they immediately raised their glasses to toast one after another, deliberately not mentioning the matter just now, as if it had never happened. Then the music sounded, the Emperor and the Queen stepped into the dance floor first, and the others followed suit, and the ball started again. Everyone was watching the fun, only Fatty felt uncomfortable in his heart, although he was angry at Old Xie for being a bastard, he was also somewhat worried, after all, they were a family.

…

Old Xie walked out of the hall unhurriedly, but soon he was in trouble, after all, it was his first time in the Imperial Palace, how would he know where the Martial Arts Arena was? Fortunately, at this time, he found Little Princess Lanslo Snow following him.

“Hehe, what are you doing here?” Old Xie asked with a smile.

“Of course to see how you get beaten!” Little Loli said with a smile.

“You have so little confidence in me?” Old Xie couldn’t help but say with a bitter smile.

“Hehe, of course, His Highness Prince Arthas is very powerful, you are no match for him at all!” Little Loli said proudly.

“Then let’s make a bet, what if I win against him?” Old Xie suddenly laughed.

“You?” Little Loli said disdainfully, “If you can win against His Highness Arthas, I, I will do whatever you want. But if you lose, you have to let me beat you up to vent my anger without fighting back!”

“Okay, deal!” Old Xie said with a proud wicked smile, “Remember, whatever I want is okay!”

“Of course, I keep my word!” Little Loli said proudly.

“Okay, then can you take me to find that pretty boy now?” Old Xie said helplessly shrugging his shoulders, “This place is too big!”

“No problem, follow me!” In order to enjoy the scene of Old Xie being beaten, Little Loli naturally agreed happily.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Little Princess, Old Xie came to a spacious circular Martial Arts Arena. The area here was hundreds of square meters, the empty bluestone ground was flat and smooth, and dozens of huge stone pillars stood on the periphery. Arthas, dressed in a strong suit, stood proudly at one end.

“I’m not late!” Old Xie said with a smile as he walked.

“Sooner than I imagined!” Arthas said faintly, then he suddenly saw the Little Princess following Old Xie and couldn’t help but frown: “Little Xue, why did you follow him here? Are you going to plead for him?”

“Of course not!” Little Loli ran over and smiled at Arthas: “Brother Arthas, this guy is super bad, he always bullies me. So I came to cheer you on, you must help me beat him hard to vent my anger!”

“He even bullied you!” Arthas heard this and immediately glared, saying angrily to Old Xie: “Little Stephen, you are too shameless!”

“It’s not that I’m shameless, it’s that you are too lovesick!” Old Xie retorted sarcastically.

“You!” Arthas was so angry he could die, not knowing how to talk to such a rude and savage guy.

Old Xie ignored him and took the opportunity to say, “Here, return this to you!” As he spoke, he threw the dagger Arthas had just held over.

“Thanks!” Arthas agreed, while quickly taking out his handkerchief, covering his hand with it to catch the dagger thrown by Old Xie. After catching it cleanly, Arthas wiped it fiercely before putting the dagger away, but he threw away the clean handkerchief. Obviously, he disliked Old Xie’s dirty hands.

Little Loli saw this and immediately covered her mouth and giggled. When Old Xie saw this behavior, his face turned green with anger, and he directly mocked: “Ha, sure enough, a clean sissy!”

“You are too vulgar!” Arthas was also angered by Old Xie’s insults, and couldn’t help but say angrily: “Don’t you know, this is just the necessary etiquette among high nobles?”

“I only know that your pretty face, combined with your high noble etiquette, is simply an out-and-out pretty boy and sissy!” Old Xie mocked nonchalantly.

“Bastard!” Arthas was finally completely provoked. He immediately reached out and grabbed a gleaming longbow out of thin air, obviously possessing extremely rare Space Equipment. Then Arthas said angrily to Old Xie: “I can no longer talk with a rude person like you, let’s just fight! Are you ready?”

“Of course, I’m fine!” Old Xie shrugged coolly.

“But why don’t I see your Magic Wand and other magic equipment?” Arthas frowned, “Did you not bring them with you? I can give you time to go back and get them!” Obviously, he didn’t want to take any advantage of Old Xie.

“Hehe!” Old Xie couldn’t help laughing: “Can’t tell, you sissy are actually quite honest!”

“Shut up!” Arthas cursed angrily: “Go get your equipment quickly, if you dare provoke me again, I won’t be able to resist shooting your stinking mouth to pieces right now!”

“I don’t need to make such a big fuss to deal with a sissy like you!” Old Xie said with a laugh: “You can start right now!”

“You, don’t think that acting pitiful in front of me will stop me from acting!” Arthas said angrily: “This will only make me look down on you more!”

“Why do you talk so much nonsense?” Old Xie couldn’t help but say impatiently: “So nagging, truly a sissy!”

“You~” Arthas kindly tried to persuade Old Xie, but unexpectedly got a round of mockery in return, almost dying of anger.

Fortunately, Little Loli spoke up at this moment: “Brother Arthas, don’t be fooled by this bastard, his equipment is all on him, he’ll use them all when we fight!”

“So that’s it!” Arthas’s eyes lit up, then he said angrily: “In that case, I won’t be polite, watch the arrow!” As he spoke, he suddenly drew the bow and shot an arrow at lightning speed. His speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn’t see his movement at all, the arrow was already out.
