Chapter-44: what can you give me to fight you?
The Nie Li spoke with arrogance in his tone and his face full of disdain.
Shen Yue smiled and said.
"What can I do with this formation that is as rigid as a rock and could not move from this place?
Any way it can provide some defense to the people of the glory city if there is something wrong.
So I don't want to destroy the effort of every one for the past 2 months."
Naturally the Nie Li that tasted defeat in the hands of Shen Yue would not give up and wanted his dignity back one way or the other.
So he said.
"Are you chickening out from my challenge?"
Shen Yue smiled and said.
"I don't mind fighting you.
But what would I get in return.
I might have to bear the anger of everyone for destroying their hard work if I win.
So tell me what you can give me in return to make me fight with you?"
Shen Yue's words touched the hearts of everyone and they felt that what Shen Yue said is true and reasonable.
They now hated the Nie Li that actually helped them construct this huge formation.
Soon the Nie Li spoke.
"I can give you pills and I can give you money if you win against me and my formation."
Shen Yue did not want these things as he has all these things with him.
What he wanted is the knowledge and experience of the Nie Li.
Shen Yue quickly said.
"I have them and don't need them.
Now tell what you can give me to make me fight you?"
The Nie Li is speechless and don't know what to say for a few moment.
Then he looked at the city lord and thought for a moment and said gritting his teeth.
"The city lord has promised to marry his daughter to me if I can defeat him.
Now that I have defeated him, I have this promise in my hand and I can trade it with you."
His words directly dropped his position to the bottom in the hearts of surrounding people and even the city lord.
But they also want to see how Shen Yue would respond to this to judge his character.
The Nie Li thought that it is a fake promise and has no difference if he wins or loses.
Shen Yue on the other hand is not stupid.
Sometimes words hurt more than actions.
He knows that his next words are important to improve the good impression he gained from others.
The good impression and reputation are very valuable things.
Later when the Shen family falls out, it can pull him out of the quagmire that he will fall into.
Since it is his family at least adoptive family that raised him, he has to be responsible for few things.
Shen Yue spoke
"I am not a person that would bet on people.
It is not the city lord that has the right to decide the marriage of his daughter.
She is a living person not a pet.
She has the right to decide who to marry and live the rest of her life with.
I never thought that your character can be so cheap.
Any way this cannot move me.
But I have a way.
I will send you a contract with a special seal.
As long as you win you can make one demand from me and as long as I win I can make one demand from you.
What do you think?"
Shen Yue actually communicated with the system and if his plan succeeds in making a contract with the Nie Li, Shen Yue will be able to obtain something more valuable from the Nie Li.
Without the use of the talent copy card, Shen Yue will be able to obtain a complete copy of knowledge and experience from the Nie Li with this contract.
But the prerequisite is that Shen Yue has to win against this array.
Shen Yue has a way to break this array because of his knowledge on inscriptions and formation.
The Nie Li finally accepted with his dark face.
He did not expect that Shen Yue is so sharp with his words and caused his words to make the people around him angry.
But he did not care.
Winners write the history.
As long as he wins he can change the heart of the people with his words later.
With that he accepted the agreement of Shen Yue.
Shen Yue took out a good agreement paper and started to write the agreement based on the information from the system.
Also he got the witness signs from the city lord and his subordinate or father in law of the city lord.
With that the contract is original.
Shen Yue signed it and threw it towards the Nie Li to sign.
The Nie Li is very arrogant and signed it.
For a moment he saw that the contract is not on paper but a strange light panel.
It is only for a moment and he did not notice anything.
The contract has more than one copy and Shen Yue got a copy, Nie Li has a copy and the city lord has a copy.
With that done the contract is in effect.
Shen Yue took on the battle stance at this moment and the Nie Li is also ready to battle Shen Yue.
Shen Yue took out his make shift bow that he made for practice.
Yes he is going to use the bow to fight against the Nie Li.
There are no rules stating that Shen Yue has to step into the array and he can fight from outside the array.
Naturally the Nie Li did not notice this point before signing.
Shen Yue did not care about his thoughts and directly brought out the arrows and made the first shot.
The shot was towards the Nie Li but also the demon spirit that is guarding him.
