Nowhere to Flee

"Um… can you not go to that duel?" Yan Dechang finally blurted out the question that he'd been holding back all day on the dining table. He looked at Yan Liqiang worriedly. No father in this world would be happy to hear that his son was going to duel with a seasoned expert.

It had been three days since Yan Liqiang received the battle invitation from the Soaring Heaven Sect. Even if Yan Liqiang didn't tell Yan Dechang about this, his father still managed to find out. Not only did Yan Dechang find out about it, but the entire Liuhe Town did too. When Yan Liqiang came back today, he had already heard people talking about it in town. In an era that lacked entertainment, gossip and news spread as fast as the speed of light. Yan Liqiang guessed that everyone in the northwestern region probably knew about it by now.
