At the Tian's family.
"Dad, you have to help me this time." Tian Yuequan stood in front of his father's desk with a stern expression, as though he was going to die if his father didn't agree.
Tian Tianrong looked at his only son helplessly and didn't know what to say.
"How can I help? Is it something we can interfere in the battle between two Stars Rankers? "Tian Tianrong slammed on the table and had an expression of exasperation.
Back then, he didn't agree for the clan to leave the military and enter the political arena, causing the younger generation to be unwilling to learn martial arts.
Why didn't they understand that strength was the one that spoke in this world?
Tian Yuequan didn't even dare to raise his head after being reprimanded, but his mouth still said, "Dad, you are the capital's chairman … and you don't need us to fight. We just have to say a few words."
Tian Tianrong was so angry that he laughed, "Just a few words from me can make two Stars Rankers listen to me? Am I the chairman of the entire federation or something? "
"Why don't they listen!" Tian Yuequan spoke with justice, "As long as Dad says it and allows Gu Nan to have a fair fight with Mr. Ye, he will still have to give you some face, right?"
"A fair fight?"
"That's right. Mr. Ye said it himself. He isn't afraid of not being able to defeat his opponent, but he isn't confident that he can make him stay." Tian Yuequan repeated what he heard from Ye Qinglan today.
Tian Tianrong's expression gradually calmed down as he considered the pros and cons of this matter.
If he just invited both parties to a fight, even if it wasn't successful, there wouldn't be any losses. But if it was successful … a name suddenly popped up in Tian Tianrong's mind: Hu Wei!
Perhaps, this was the opportunity for the Tian's family to return to the military.
As for how to entice Gu Nan to take the bait … it was obviously impossible to rely on words like his son. Tian Tianrong wasn't foolish enough to think that he could make a Stars Ranker give him face.
He lowered his head and took out a note from the drawer. Two words were written on it:
Max.
…
"All the information about the stimulant Max is here." Land Marigold sat in the dim light, moved a large stack of documents, and said at the same time.
Gu Nan didn't say anything and continued to read.
Land Marigold continued, "Max, a stimulant used by the military to boost one's spirit. It also has the effect of dispersing chaotic internal energy."
"It was first contributed by the Tian's family to the military as the price for them to fully withdraw from the military and devote themselves to politics. Later, because the drug was too hallucinogenic, its use was abolished. "
"Which Tian's family?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrows as if he had understood something.
Land Marigold pointed at the table seriously. "It's this Tian's family."
On the table was an invitation letter. It was from the parliament speaker of 66 Amaterasu's capital city, Tian Tianrong.
He represented the 'Bitter Sword Saint', Ye Qinglan, to invite Gu Nan for a public duel. The prize was the method to produce the drug 'Max'.
"This is obviously a trap set up by someone." Land Marigold sat opposite Gu Nan and spoke with a serious expression. "Ye Qinglan and Hu Wei's father are good friends. How did the Tian's family know that you need this drug Max?"
Even though Lu's Family had been searching for 'Max' with great fanfare, even Gu Nan had just found out that Max might be referring to a drug. How did the Tian's family know about it in advance?
"This is an open scheme." Gu Nan knocked on the table lightly and let out a faint smile. "No matter who is the mastermind … if he knows, I will definitely go."
Land Marigold couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "The Bitter Sword Saint was at the Eternal Domain Realm 20 years ago. How confident are you?"
"Of course, 100%." Gu Nan laughed and said, "I am not going to fight to the death with him. I am just going to claim the prize."
…
A grand announcement of the duel had unfolded with both parties tacitly agreeing to it.
No one knew where the news first came from, and no one knew who the source was.
But the news of the 'Bitter Sword Saint', Ye Qinglan's return to Mother Planet, Tian Ye, and his duel with the newly advanced Stars Ranker, Gu Nan, had already spread like wildfire.
In just two days, almost the entire 66 Amaterasu knew what the 'Stars Ranker' was, who the 'Stars Ranker' was, who Gu Nan and Ye Qinglan were, and … they were going to duel.
On the day of the duel …
At the back of the duel arena, the 'Bitter Sword Saint', Ye Qinglan, had been waiting for a long time. At a certain moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and a figure gradually appeared beside him.
"You have taken the military's medicine." Ye Qinglan looked at the person beside him and spoke with an expressionless face.
The person beside him was Hu Wei. But the current Hu Wei had snow-white hair that reached her waist, which was completely different from her previous short hair.
"Half a day." Hu Wei's voice seemed to be trembling slightly. "I only have half a day. If you are unable to kill him, I will make my move. "
When she was speaking, Hu Wei's eyes were fixed on the other party. The 'Bitter Sword Saint' had always been a loner and had never teamed up with anyone. Would this time be an exception?
Ye Qinglan remained silent for a long time and finally nodded gently before walking towards the duel arena alone.
At the end of the passageway, the sunlight gradually shone on the middle-aged Sword Saint's body, followed by a tsunami of voices.
The clamor and clamor couldn't affect his state of mind. This was the concentration that an Eternal Domain Realm expert would have when facing a life and death battle.
The duel arena was filled with spectators.
Due to the government's vigorous publicity, countless societal celebrities and tyrannical martial artists had gathered here today, looking forward to the duel between the two experts.
A reporter and commentator at the front was currently reporting with spittle flying everywhere.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Tian Ye Television Station's frontline reporter. We are now at the capital's plaza, which is also the duel arena for the two Stars Rankers — Mr. Ye Qinglan and Mr. Gu Nan!"
"This duel between the two of them can be said to be the duel of the century that is rarely seen in a hundred years! The government has even sponsored the manufacturing method of the secret medicine 'Max' as a wager for both sides. "
"The duel is about to begin. We can see that the sword dao master, Mr. Ye Qinglan, is already in position … He is indeed worthy of being a master of the generation. Just his posture alone is enough to give people immense pressure!"
In the VIP seats, Tian Tianrong was sitting in the middle with a calm expression. No one could tell what he was thinking.
His only son, Tian Yuequan, was standing behind him. His face was obviously revealing excitement, and he couldn't help but look in a certain direction. Mr. Ye came out from that direction, so Xiaowei must be there too.
Xiaowei, did you see that? I can help you with that too!
"Speaker Tian, you truly have a good method!" Lu Li sat beside Tian Tianrong and revealed a rather profound smile. He spoke in a low voice, "For such a scene, the investment must not be small, right?"
He was here to represent Lu's Family. If Lu Yiming didn't show up, Lu Li was qualified to represent Lu's Family's attitude.
Tian Tianrong's expression didn't change. He smiled faintly and waved his hand, "I don't deserve it … I heard that this Mr. Gu's temper isn't that good. I am just trying to protect myself."
Lu Li grunted lightly and didn't say anything else.
This Tian Tianrong was indeed smart … to make such a big scene. Even if Gu Nan wasn't satisfied with this duel, he couldn't possibly show it in public, right?
This was the 66 Amaterasu and not Gu Nan's territory.
At the same time, the commentator's voice echoed again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the one walking towards us is the other Stars List expert of the duel. He is from the Red Carp, Mr. Gu Nan!"
"No wonder he is a young hero. Mr. Gu's majestic strides have already reached the duel stage!"
"Eh? Mr. Gu made a turn. Is he trying to greet Master Ye first?"
