Chapter 926: Coaxing myself

Qi Chang raised his head and looked at Qin Shu who was standing in front of him.

The small wings behind her emitted a faint green light. At that moment, it seemed as if he saw hope.

He couldn't help but ask: "What are you betting on?"

Qin Shu said solemnly: "Get up from where you fell. Since they don't let you refine weapons, you can go and bet with Qi Zhou again."

Qi Chang stood up again, looked at Qin Shu with a frown and asked: "But... will he agree to bet with me?"

Qin Shu shook her head, "He is now successful and famous. If you go to him privately, he will definitely not agree. You must challenge him in a big way so that he has to agree."

Qi Chang thought seriously about what Qin Shu said. According to his understanding of Qi Zhou, he might... really agree.

There are not many people in the entire dwarf tribe who are more face-saving than him...

.

That morning, Qi Chang carried a flag on his back with the four characters "Meeting friends with weapons" written on it.

He held two gongs in his hands, and struck them every two steps. Wherever he went, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Qi Chang walked around the street while beating the gongs as if no one was around. The guards who came to inquire were all stopped by Qin Shu and Cheng Yan who used shapeshifting to blend into the crowd, and they couldn't squeeze in at all.

In this way, Qi Chang calmly walked around the entire Shimen tribe, and then he walked towards Qi Zhou's residence.

Qi Chang stopped until he came to Qi Zhou's underground palace, and while beating the gong, he shouted in the direction of the underground palace: "Qi Zhou! Forty years have passed, and now you dare to compete with me again!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

The crowd around stretched their necks to look inside, just to see how Qi Zhou would respond.

"Hey, do you think Master Qi Zhou will agree?"

"Of course he will. Qi Chang hasn't refined weapons for forty years. He was no match for Master Qi Zhou back then, and he is definitely still a defeated opponent of Master Qi Zhou now!"

"That's true."

"I don't know what Qi Chang is thinking. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

...

People were saying all kinds of things. Qi Wei, who was in the crowd, felt extremely embarrassed. He wanted to squeeze in and take his grandfather away, but he was stuck in the crowd and couldn't move.

Qi Zhou's guards finally squeezed out of the crowd and were about to drive him away when they saw the door of the underground palace open.

Qin Shu saw this and smiled with satisfaction.

Yes, Qi Zhou really cares about his reputation.

If he really lets these guards drive Qi Chang away, then Qi Zhou will have a reputation of not being able to fight in the future.

Of course, Qi Zhou will agree, or maybe he really doesn't take Qi Chang seriously.

A defeated general, and a defeated general who has not refined a weapon for forty years, what is there to worry about?

"Let him go."

A voice came, and the dwarf guards who were grabbing Qi Chang's collar and gradually gathering spiritual energy in their hands stopped their actions, let go and retreated obediently.

Qi Chang snorted, raised his hand to tidy up his clothes, and then looked forward again.

Qi Zhou, dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, walked up the steps of the underground palace with the servants, and appeared in front of everyone.

His eyes first swept over the broken chess piece behind Qi Chang, and then looked at his embarrassment, and then frowned and asked: "Achang, what are you doing?"

Qi Chang showed a sarcastic smile on his face, he was like this every time.

It was obviously him who caused the dispute, but in the end it was always blamed on himself.

So this time, he really had to be a troublemaker as he wished.

He politely bowed to Qi Zhou, "Cousin, long time no see, I wonder if you are doing well now?"

When he said this, everyone... including Qin Shu was stunned.

No one expected that they were still cousins ​​after so many years of tit-for-tat?

Qi Zhou obviously didn't expect that he would clarify the relationship between the two at this time, which was quite different from his past.

Forty years have passed, and his pride has also been broken.

"Thanks to you, I am doing well." Qi Zhou nodded and said.

Qi Chang smiled knowingly, "That's good, cousin, I thought of a good way to refine weapons in my dream a while ago, so I wanted to come and discuss with you. I wonder if you are free?"

When he said this, Qi Zhou knew that his cousin had met a master this time.

If he confronted him directly, he could just ignore him.

But he now puts his status very low. If he refuses again, the persona he has worked so hard to build over the years may not be able to maintain.

He pursed his lips and thought for a long time before looking at Qi Chang and agreeing, "Although we made a bet many years ago, whoever loses will not be able to refine weapons for life. But now that you have come to find me, I, as your brother, have to agree to it because of our many years of brotherhood... right?"

His words directly put Qi Chang in a position of moral kidnapping.

Everyone looked at Qi Chang with a little more strangeness. Yes! Didn't you say that you are willing to accept the loss? Is he going to regret it?

Qi Chang also knew how everyone looked at him, so he knelt down at this time, "Cousin, I came here this time to compete with you again."

"Oh?"

Qichang added: "Back then I lost to you because of the source of fire. I have been thinking hard over the years to see if there is any way to improve. In recent days, I finally have some thoughts and want to compete with my cousin again. What if I can defeat you, and I hope you will give Achang another chance to reopen his shop and make a living."

Forty years have passed, and everyone has almost forgotten what happened that year.

When Qi Chang mentioned this, everyone also remembered that Master Qi Zhou joined forces with the Mo family to defeat Qi Chang.

From this point of view, if Master Qi Zhou did not have the help of the Mo family, there is really no telling who would lose and who would win!

Everyone communicated in private, and those who couldn't communicate quietly whispered to each other.

Qi Zhou saw it in his eyes and felt angry in his heart.

He knew clearly that Qi Chang was forcing him to comply, but he couldn't comply.

Looking at the figure kneeling on the ground, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

Don’t you just want to compete again? Back then, he was no match for him. Now, forty years later, he has become more skilled in refining weapons and has successfully made several high-grade Taoist weapons.

And what about Qichang? He hasn't touched a hammer in forty years, so what can he win? !

So what if you give him another chance? It's just another act of humiliation.

He raised his chin, stared at Qichang in the distance, nodded slightly and said: "Since this is what Achang wants, I will do it for my brother."
