The chopsticks of Yang Guyun are no slower than those of Zhou Qiubai.

When the two of them were half full, Zhou Qiubai put down their chopsticks, picked up a cup of tea, and asked leisurely, "What do you think about what happened just now?"

Yang Guyun replied calmly, "Pretend."

"Did you also notice?" Zhou Qiubai raised his eyebrows.

"The look in his eyes is wrong." Yang Guyun said, "His dandy look is too pretentious, and it actually looks fake."

Zhou Qiubai couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Guyun Although he doesn't talk much, his eye for seeing people is first-rate.

For those who talk a lot, their eyes often betray them. After all, no matter how superb their acting skills are, their aura will still show flaws.

Although Xue Beng looked arrogant just now, the calmness in his eyes could not escape Zhou Qiubai's insight.

"It's nothing new for a member of the royal family to pretend to be a dandy to save his life." Zhou Qiubai shook the teacup, "But who is he afraid of?"

Yang Guyun glanced at him. "It has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, it really doesn't matter." Zhou Qiubai nodded, "As long as he doesn't provoke us, he can pretend to be whatever he wants."

Although it was said that Xue Beng came to power only after the "Xue Qinghe" was exposed.

But what does it have to do with them?

Just don't bother them.

Otherwise, they don't mind letting Fourth Prince become a "dead" prince.

After a while, Zhou Qiubai suddenly said, "But... if he really wants to win over us, what means will he use?"

Yang Guyun thought for a while and replied, "Send money."

"Are we short of money?" Zhou Qiubai raised an eyebrow.

"No shortage."

But you are missing.

Yang Guyun added silently.

"Send power?" Zhou Qiubai continued to ask.

"No."

"Giving beauty?"

Yang Guyun deadpanned. "Boring."

Zhou Qiubai laughed loudly, "So, he is really difficult!"

After a burst of laughter, Zhou Qiubai said seriously, "Actually, I don't mind if someone gives you resources. It costs money to practice, to spend money to eat, and to fight Soul Fighting. If someone gives it to you for free, that would be great!"

"What about the conditions?" Yang Guyun asked.

"It depends on the conditions." Zhou Qiubai replied, "If we are asked to be thugs and kill people for him, then forget it. But if we only need to stand in a team at certain times to support the scene... then we can consider it."

Yang Guyun nodded silently.

When traveling in the world, Freedom is the most important thing, but you also have to be smart.

You have to take the benefits that you should get and keep the bottom line that you should keep. This is the way for people in the world to survive.

"However, these are all things for later." Zhou Qiubai grabbed the chopsticks again with a relaxed expression, "Now, let's eat first and then have a good rest. Soul Fighting will get down to business in three days."

When Soul Fighting was mentioned, a fighting spirit flashed in Yang Guyun's eyes.

Iron-Armored Dragon Rhino, Spirit Beast, which is famous for its defense, Martial Soul is the Soul Master of Iron-Armored Dragon Rhino, and its defense power is almost invincible in the same level.

It's a pity that if Soul Power were higher, it would be even higher.

Heaven Dou City is not short of Soul King Soul Emperor. Their goal is to gain fame and then leapfrog and fight those with higher levels.

"Iron-Armored Dragon Rhino's weak points are on the inside of the joints and areas not covered by scales." Zhou Qiubai used chopsticks to draw on the table. "Your gun has strong penetrating power and is mainly used to break armor from the front. I am fast with my sword and am responsible for roaming around to find flaws."

Yang Guyun nodded. "The gun breaks first, then the sword enters."

"That's right." Zhou Qiubai responded with a smile, "But you have to be careful. Soul Fighting Arena is not a life and death battle. If you are disabled, then Zhao Wuji will probably cause trouble."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs. The two of them looked over and saw a group of guards wearing silver light armor quickly running through the street in formation. The leader shouted loudly, "Imperial City Guard patrolling the streets! Keep out of the way!"

The people on the street retreated to both sides and started talking in low voices.

"Why are you patrolling the streets at this hour today?"

"I heard that there was some trouble over there at East Market. A caravan was robbed..."

"Who dares to rob a caravan in Heaven Dou City? I really don't want to live anymore!"

Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun looked at each other, each seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

Heaven Dou City As the capital of the empire, security has always been strict. There had just been a conflict between the princes in the street during the day, and a caravan was robbed at night. It was a coincidence.

Zhou Qiubai put down his chopsticks and said thoughtfully, "Heaven Dou City This pool of water is muddier than I thought."

Yang Guyun responded calmly, "You can fish in troubled waters."

"That's right." Zhou Qiubai picked up the bowl again, "Eat first, don't care if he is muddy or not, we just beat our Soul Fighting and practice our swords. If a fish really knocks on the door, then we will stew with vegetables."

The meal lasted for more than half an hour. When paying the bill, the shopkeeper saw that Zhou Qiubai was happy to pay and heard that their accent was not from locals, so he asked a lot, "Are the two guests here to do business at Heaven Dou City?"

Zhou Qiubai smiled and said, "Experience, and beat Soul Fighting by the way."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. "But you want to go to Great Soul Arena? That place is amazing, with so many experts! I heard that there will be a Gold Soul Fighter level doubles match in three days, and the opponent is Iron-Armored Dragon Rhino Brothers. Many people have placed bets!"

"Oh?" Zhou Qiubai raised an eyebrow, "The shopkeeper also knows?"

"Who doesn't know about Heaven Dou City!" The shopkeeper lowered his voice, "Those two brothers have won thirteen games in a row in the same level Gold Soul Fighter. Their defense is incredibly strong. Many Soul Ancestor have suffered losses at their hands. This time their opponents... Hehe, I heard they are a new pair. They are young. I don't know if they can survive ten rounds."

Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun look at each other.

"Then we have to go and take a look." Zhou Qiubai paid and gave an extra Silver Soul Coin as a tip, "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for letting me know."

"You're welcome!" The shopkeeper smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. "You two, go slowly and come often!"

This meal is not cheap, a table costs two hundred Gold Soul Coin, but with their current wealth, it is still affordable.

Of course, just eat it once to get a taste of it.

When we walked out of Diaolou Cottage, the night was already dark.

Heaven Dou City, as the capital city, will not impose a curfew.

On the way back, Zhou Qiubai suddenly asked, "Tell me, have we been followed by anyone along the way?"

Yang Guyun nodded. "Yes."

"How many?"

"Three, two on the roof and one on the street corner."

Zhou Qiubai smiled, "You know better."

"You also know." Yang Guyun glanced at him sideways.

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.

Since leaving Soul Fighting Arena, they have noticed a stalker.

Although the other party is not strong and should be a spy, but after confirming that the other party does not have any malicious intentions, or that there is no evil intention now, they are left to their own devices.

Return to the inn and go back to your room.

At dusk three days later, Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Although it is still early before the opening time, there is already a sea of people outside Soul Fighting Arena. The aristocrats and wealthy businessmen are whispering to each other, the lucky gamblers are gearing up, and even more Soul Master and ordinary people are coming here because of its reputation.
