Ren Bing pointedly accused Chen Zao of being a fraud.
Chen Zao was secretly annoyed.
If this were the unrestricted Golden Age, Chen Zao would have cursed Ren Bing so fiercely that even her mother wouldn't dare to recognize her!
But in this apocalyptic world where disagreements could lead to drawn blades, Chen Zao could only endure for now, waiting for a better opportunity.
However, Ren Xiao couldn't hold back any longer.
How could such a prestigious Gourmet Chef like Chen Zao be insulted like this?
Immediately, she confronted Ren Bing: "Sister Four, I'm not a child anymore! I understand right from wrong! Chef Chen is truly amazing; you shouldn't speak carelessly in front of him!"
That was a powerful retort!
Chen Zao instantly felt fond of Ren Xiao.
This big-chested girl's straightforward personality was quite suitable for making friends.
Chen Zao pulled on Ren Xiao's arm and said, "Alright, let's not waste time arguing with them. Those who trust me need no words. Those who doubt me can do as they please. Let's focus on our business."
The business he referred to was, of course, to collect gold; after all, securing it was the priority.
As Chen Zao tried to leave, the cavalry had no intention of letting him go.
No one who is not envied is a talent.
Chen Zao had a tall and striking figure that made him the object of envy, even if he did not provoke others.
Lu Lin looked at Ren Xiao's unwavering support for Chen Zao and felt a surge of jealousy. He bluntly advised Ren Xiao, "Seventh Sister, you must be fooled by this guy. What does growing tall from eating good food even mean? I see him as just a useless person trying to mooch off you! He doesn't even dare to join the army; how can he be called a man?"
"Lu Lin, if you continue to act recklessly in front of Chef Chen, I won't hold back with my Crossbow!"
Ren Xiao was genuinely angry!
How dare they call Chen Zao useless?!
You people who don't understand gourmet food are the real useless ones!
Her beautiful eyes widened with fury, radiating killing intent!
Ren Xiao was like an agitated hunting dog, raising her Crossbow and ready to confront Lu Lin!
Lu Lin knew Ren Xiao was serious and took a step back in fear. He turned to Ren Bing, who was still on horseback, and complained, "Boss, our Seventh Sister is being too unreasonable. Why is she getting so serious with her own people?"
Ren Bing suppressed his anger and coldly reprimanded Ren Xiao, "Are you really going to draw weapons against your own troops for an outsider whose background you don't even know?"
"It’s Lu Lin who is bullying me! He insulted my friend!" Ren Xiao glared at Lu Lin. "If you dare to speak disrespectfully again, I'll challenge you to a duel!"
"Ummm~~~! Ummm~~~! Ummm~~~!"
As soon as the challenge for a duel was announced, the cavalry immediately began to cheer and urge Lu Lin and Ren Xiao to face off.
Among all the garrison troops in Panlong Six Strongholds, there is a tradition—being fellow Survivors in this apocalyptic world, they prohibit fighting among themselves. However, if someone has a strong grievance against another, they must resolve it with their fists. They can choose to settle their differences publicly through a flag duel.
There is only one rule for a flag duel: weapons are prohibited. Both parties must fight unarmed until one side submits to the other; only then is the duel considered over.
If one party refuses to submit during the duel, even if they are killed, it is deemed their own fault.
Who told you not to submit?
If someone ends up killing their opponent during a duel, they will not be held accountable; instead, they will earn the respect of others who admire their skill.
On the other hand, those who are too cowardly to accept a flag duel will undoubtedly face scorn and disdain from everyone.
This is the principle of might that governs this Apocalyptic Era.
Generally, when there are no major conflicts, these people who share similar hardships in the apocalypse do not choose to engage in flag duels. Once a flag is raised, it could lead to an endless cycle of violence.
However, for onlookers, enjoying the spectacle is always appealing; everyone loves watching a flag duel.
As soon as they hear those four words, no matter who it is, they all love to stir up excitement.
Ren Xiao was completely captivated by Chen Zao's personality and culinary skills, viewing Chen Zao as a Gourmet Chef master! How could she tolerate Lu Lin's humiliation of Chen Zao?
She was genuinely infuriated and threw down the gauntlet for a duel against Lu Lin.
Lu Lin found himself in a difficult position due to Ren Xiao's challenge.
If it had been an ordinary female warrior inviting him to a duel, he would have accepted without hesitation to teach her a lesson.
He certainly wouldn't go easy on a woman.
But now, the one challenging him was Ren Qijie, the daughter of the Ren Family; he dared not act recklessly!
Even in a formal duel, Lu Lin wouldn't dare lay a finger on Ren Xiao, unless he wanted to ruin his standing in the Ren Family Army.
Feeling pressured by his companions, Lu Lin looked helplessly at Ren Bing for assistance: "Boss, Seventh Sister is going too far! She actually wants to duel me!"
Ren Bing replied coldly, "What's so excessive about this? A duel is just a friendly way to resolve disputes."
"Ugh, ugh, ugh~~~!"
Ren Bing's words incited even more raucous cheers from the Cavalry Unit.
Lu Lin was dumbfounded; could it be that he really had to duel Ren Xiao?
Ren Bing then said, "However, I think it's unreasonable for you to challenge Lu and Seventh Sister. The one who caused the conflict between you is that clumsy chef. You should challenge him instead."
"Right! Haha!"
Lu Lin grinned, as if he had found a lifeline. His previously distressed expression instantly transformed into one of excitement, rubbing his bony fists that were as hard as rock, he praised, "You're so wise, Boss! Seventh Sister and I never had any conflict to begin with. What flag should I raise? What challenge? It's that deceitful chef who only knows how to fool girls that I should teach a lesson! Bah!"
Spitting out a mouthful of phlegm, before Ren Xiao could step in to stop him, Lu Lin thrust the serrated knife he held into the wet mud beneath his feet—
With a "thud," the bloody challenge flag was planted!
His eagle-like eyes burned with fierce determination as he defiantly stared at Chen Zao, who had been standing aside.
Raising his right hand, he pointed at Chen Zao's nose and declared, "Chef Chen, right? I am Lu Lin from the Ren Family Army's Third Cavalry Company, Fifth Hunting Team! I hereby challenge you! I want to teach you a lesson for being a blind fool who dares to deceive Seventh Sister! I'm going to make you run away at the mere mention of 'chef'! You won't dare to flaunt yourself as a chef who grew up on gourmet food ever again!"
"Lu Lin, you jerk! I'm the one challenging you! Why are you causing trouble for Chef Chen? I want to challenge you! One-on-one!"
Ren Xiao was furious and pulled out a red feather arrow, planting it in the ground to defend Chen Zao.
Lu Lin smirked triumphantly, "Hehe, Seventh Sister, you're a bit slow. I've already raised my flag against your deceitful friend. If you want to challenge me, you'll have to wait until I settle things with your deceitful friend first... I've grown this big for a reason. Do you dare accept my challenge? If not, kneel on the ground and call me 'Grandpa Lu' three times! Then I'll spare your life!"
