At this time, Xu Tian was looking down at his phone to reply to work emails because he felt bored. He looked up when he heard his name. Seeing Lu Feifan's helpless look, he asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me. It's the leader's turn to come on stage to compete in martial arts. I've drawn you. Now let's go on stage and have a fight!"
Xu Tian quickly saved the half-edited email and then put away his phone.
"When did I say that I wanted to go on stage to discuss things?"
He had promised Tang Bingyan before that he would not go on stage to fight at will. What's more, Gu Beicheng had also told him before that the leader did not need to go on stage. At this time, the Lu family went back on their word, and he did not want to pay attention to it.
Lu Feifan rubbed his hands angrily and asked in a rough voice: "Xu Tian, are you looking down on me?"
Xu Tian replied calmly: "I didn't say that."
"Then what do you mean? There was a rule before that after the players from the three families take the stage to compete, the leader will come on the stage. You are the leader of the Tang family, how can you not go on stage?"
Xu Tian frowned slightly, and after a moment he said perfunctorily: "I know that I am not strong enough, so I won't show off my shame."
Seeing Xu Tian's attitude, Lu Feifan became even more angry: "Xu Tian, you coward! The purpose of everyone's participation in the ring competition today is to compete in martial arts. Even if you lose on stage, no one will laugh at you, but you pretend to be shy.
You are a fool, you don’t even dare to compare, you are simply embarrassing the Tang family!”
When the others around him heard Xu Tian's rejection, their expressions became a little subtle.
Although some guests did not dare to make a loud noise, they pointed at Xu Tian and complained softly: "What kind of leader is this that the Tang family is looking for? He doesn't even dare to go on stage?"
"You don't know something about this. Although he has no ability, he can please the head of the Tang family. Don't you know that he, a pretty boy with no background, can be brought to a cocktail party by Tang Bingyan to reveal his identity?
After two years of straightening up, I can actually get married and become the Tang family's son-in-law."
"Has the head of the Tang family lost his mind? How could he fall in love with such a good-for-nothing pretty boy?"
"I was originally looking forward to the duel between the team leaders, but I didn't expect that the Tang family sent a coward who didn't even dare to go on stage. It was really a sight!"
"No wonder Master Lu is so angry. After carefully preparing for the ring competition, he encountered such a idiot who relies on coaxing women to get the upper hand. Who wouldn't be angry?"
Gu Beicheng was a little surprised when he saw this situation. He originally wanted Lu Feifan to fight Xu Tian. With Lu Feifan's character, he would never show mercy to Xu Tian. He could make Xu Tian become one of the three major families without any effort.
However, he didn't expect that Xu Tian was even more cowardly than he thought, and he didn't even dare to go on stage.
However, Gu Beicheng didn't care whether Xu Tian dared to take the stage, as long as he could embarrass him in public, his goal would be achieved.
Seeing that the faces of everyone around him were not good-looking, Gu Beicheng stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "The martial arts competitions are all voluntary. Extraordinary. Since Mr. Xu is not willing to compete, let's not force it."
Gu Beicheng's words made the guests present look at Xu Tian with even more contempt.
The six secret guards of the Tang family had already done enough psychological preparation. They were naturally self-aware and did not expect Xu Tian to defeat Lu Feifan. However, they did not expect that Xu Tian was so cowardly that he did not dare to play. Abstaining would be even more humiliating than defeat.
They came to participate in the arena competition this time, which was really humiliating, and made the Tang family the laughing stock among the famous nobles. Moreover, it would not be easy for them to explain to the Tang family elders and senior officials when they returned.
Zhao Qing, the strongest among these people, couldn't help walking to the audience and whispered to Xu Tian: "Mr. Xu, if you just abstain from voting, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Tang family. Even if you lose the contest, you can straighten your back and stand upright.
Now, before the competition even starts, I am so scared that I will admit defeat and dare not go on stage. It is really contrary to the way of a warrior."
Xu Tian raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Qing, who was standing in front of him, and then shook his head: "Originally, I was not interested in this arena match, not to mention the previous rule that the team leader did not have to go on stage, so I had no intention of going on stage.
"
Zhao Qing originally tried to persuade him with good words, but he didn't expect that Xu Tian still insisted on going his own way and was determined to be a coward. He was so angry that he clenched his fists. As a secret guard, he did not dare to get angry with Xu Tian, the popular person next to the family leader.
He could only retreat back to the team in anger.
Seeing Zhao Qing's aggrieved look, the disciples of the Lu family gloated: "Actually, it doesn't matter if your team leader doesn't go on stage. If you do, being beaten up by our young master is not an honorable thing."
His words made the surrounding warriors burst into laughter.
The sound was so harsh and unpleasant that it reached the ears of Zhao Qing and others. The six of them stood stiffly on the spot, not even daring to raise their heads to face the disdainful eyes of those people.
What a shame!
They lost the competition, and with a useless team leader who didn't dare to go on stage and simply abstained, I'm afraid there will be no chance of them making a comeback in the future.
As the organizer, Lu Tianfeng saw that Xu Tian had made up his mind not to go to the ring, so he shook his head helplessly, sighed softly and said: "The competition is indeed based on the principle of voluntariness. Since Mr. Xu doesn't want to go on the stage, our Lu family will not force it.
After all, there were Iverson, Ms. An and other distinguished guests present, so Lu Tianfeng couldn't embarrass Xu Tian, a junior too much.
With him stepping forward, the others no longer persisted, and the sarcastic voices suddenly became quieter.
Lu Tianfeng coughed slightly, then looked at Lu Feifan and Gu Beicheng: "Feifan, then you and Beicheng can compete on stage. The winner among you can get the guidance of fighting master Iverson."
Lu Feifan was a little unconvinced. He didn't want Xu Tian to get away with it so easily, but since his father had spoken, he couldn't refute. He could only glare at Xu Tian with disdain and said angrily: "Forget it, with this kind of trash
In the ring, I'm also afraid that I won't win without fighting, so Beicheng, let's go on stage and try our best!"
Gu Beicheng glanced at Xu Tian lightly, then turned and walked towards the arena.
Soon the two of them were standing on the stage.
This duel was more interesting than the duel between Lu Feifan and Xu Tian. After all, everyone present felt that Xu Tian was a layman, and the scene of a master beating a layman was a bit boring.
The duel between Lu Feifan and Gu Beicheng is a competition between masters.
The Lu family and the Gu family are both martial arts families, and they both became famous at a young age and are known as genius warriors. Who will win between these two people? Everyone present can't wait to know the result.
After Gu Beicheng stood still on the ring, he cupped his hands to Lu Feifan, his tone still as gentle as an elder brother's: "Feifan, let's get started."
Lu Feifan moved his wrist and said with great fighting spirit.
"Come on, Brother Beicheng, I've long wanted to have a good fight with you!"
