Another Duel

"Sister Qi, senior brothers, we can't break the City Lord's rules." Ming Yue said.

"We shall meet outside." Qi Xuanyue pointed at Li Chen yet he shook his head.

[You really don't know how to behave.] 

"How arrogant!" Someone hissed.

Yan Sen and those from the Purple Lotus sect all acknowledged Li Chen, since Yan Sen admired him. "Brother Li, it's been a while." Yan Sen stood up and cupped his fists. 

"Brother Yan!" Qi Xuanyue's eyes flew wide open.

"You made him your enemy, sister Qi. He's not mine." 

Qi Xuanyue's eyes narrowed. 

"Li Chen, I, Qi Xuanyue, challenge you to a duel above the pool!" 

"Sister Qi…!" Ming Yue's eyes flashed with concern but a subtle tug appeared on her lips. 

Shaking his head, Li Chen stood up and slowly walked away.
