C20 (2/2)
”Oh?” Ye Fei turned around, ”Is there anything else?”
”I don't think there's any meaning to just duel!” Looking at the increasing number of students spectating, Fox became more and more excited. ”I want to add some stakes, are you willing to accept it?”
”Bet?” Ye Fei frowned slightly: ”Group Leader Fox, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that although the Empire does not oppose gambling, the Academy does not allow people to gamble! Besides, how can I bet with you? Your father is the Minister of Finance, and in terms of wealth, my Ye Family cannot compare to yours! ”
It was unknown if Fox had heard the hint of corruption in their family, but when he heard Ye Fei talk about gambling, he immediately shook his head and said:
”No, no, no! You misunderstood. As the leader of the first-year team, how could I be the first to violate the school rules? I didn't mean to bet with you! ”
”Then what do you want to bet?” Ye Fei asked!
”I'll bet you to apologize!” A sinister smile appeared on Fox's face. ”If you lose, I want you to kneel in front of me and kiss my foot in front of everyone!”
”Oh!” Fox, you are too evil! ” Ye Fei slapped his forehead, sighed at the sky, and continued: ”I agree, if I lose, I will kneel down and kiss your feet in front of everyone and apologize to you! But what if you lose? ”
”Me?” Fox laughed disdainfully: ”How can I lose? Don't forget, I am a Warrior of the ninth rank! ”
”And if you lose?” Ye Fei said softly, ”There is a proverb in the Empire, it says that no matter how strong a person is, they can only come at a time, and no matter how fast a horse is, it is still possible for them to fall.
”Alright!” Fox nodded his head: ”I promise you, if I lose to you, I will also kneel down in front of you and kiss your feet in apology!”
”Oh, no, my team leader!” Ye Fei immediately shook his head: ”Right now, the empire has already abolished the slave system, so I will not let you do what a slave would do. If you lose, I only need you to kneel in front of me and kiss the back of my hand!”
”Good!” ”It's a deal!” Fox nodded his head: ”Ye Fei, you should go back and prepare to lose. Although the empire has abolished the slave system, I don't mind if you lie down like a slave and apologize to me. Just you wait!”
With that, Fox turned and left the pavilion!
Speaking of which, Fox's bet had to be vicious. Although this kowtowing ceremony still existed in many aristocratic families, the government had actually banned this ceremony. This was because kowtowing was a slave's way of greeting when he saw his master. Since the Empire had abolished slavery, they had naturally cancelled this ceremony as well.
Right now, the Empire's people were kneeling down and kissing their hands. This was the etiquette of commoners when they were facing aristocrats!
Fox thought very well, but, the day after tomorrow was destined to be a tragedy.
