Chapter 234 Battle for quotas
"Duan Rong is also eligible. Like Luan Bao and Xiao Yu, he can pay the registration fee from the escort agency account."

"However, I have only promised two of these places."

"But now, there are three people who are eligible for the quota. This is naturally because my Yuanshun Escort Agency is full of talented people."

"Our escort agency does business in the underworld, and we also eat the food of the underworld. What I mean is to let them compete in martial arts."

"The two who win will qualify for the quota."

Ruan Fengshan's words made everyone present feel nervous.

Three people are eligible for the quota, so shouldn't the escort agency pay for one more person?
It was also said that Duan Rong had made great contributions and must be rewarded, and he was asked to compete with others for a place in martial arts. If he lost, would he be rewarded or not?
Everyone present was nervous, but Ruan Fengshan was very clear in his mind.

He had already been unable to tolerate Luan Jingfu and his son Luan Bao, so how could they spend another 60,000 taels of silver to pay Luan Bao's registration fee?

But in order to kill Luan Jingfu, he needed time to set up a plan, and the end of the year was approaching, and it was time to sign up.

At this time, he brought Duan Rong in to let Duan Rong squeeze out Luan Bao's quota. In this way, he could reward Duan Rong for his great contribution without wasting money on Luan Bao.

As for the worry of Duan Rong losing, in his opinion, it didn't exist at all. He saw with his own eyes at the entrance of the corridor of the backyard account office that Duan Rong knocked Luan Bao away with a backhand.

However, Xiao Yu far surpassed Luan Bao in both martial arts talent and hard work. Ruan Fengshan felt that Xiao Yu should be about to achieve the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm.

Therefore, in Ruan Fengshan's opinion, once Duan Rong intervened, the person who would be squeezed out would definitely be Luan Bao.

However, those present at the scene had their reasons for thinking that Duan Rong would lose. After all, both Xiao Yu and Luan Bao had already achieved the third level of Inner Breath Realm years ago, while Duan Rong had only just broken through. How could he be a match for both of them?

Luan Jingfu sat on the armchair with a grim expression. Luan Bao, who was sitting behind him, called out "Father" softly. Luan Bao wanted him to speak, but Luan Jingfu remained silent. He just looked at Ruan Fengshan, who was sitting on the tall, wide chair, with a somewhat gloomy look, guessing what Ruan Fengshan was thinking.

Since Ruan Fengshan started talking about this matter, he never glanced at Luan Jingfu. Instead, he smiled and looked at Xiao Zongting from time to time...

But even so, Luan Jingfu felt that Ruan Fengshan was targeting him and his son. He was thinking about Xu Shouxian's matter, whether he had dealt with it properly, or whether Ruan Fengshan had some secret in his hand.

There was no correspondence between him and Xu Shouxian, and they only talked face to face, so there should be no evidence. But he also heard rumors that after Xu Shouxian died, his old housekeeper handed a secret letter to Ruan Fengshan.

Luan Jingfu had never expected that Xu Shouxian had a back-up plan and tricked him like this. This old man was really dead but not stiff!
"I think it's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Let them go to the martial arts arena now to decide who is better. You can all be witnesses!" Ruan Fengshan suddenly said.

Xiao Yu was sitting next to Duan Rong. She glanced at Duan Rong with her beautiful eyes, then looked over the heads of the people in the front row to Luan Bao opposite her. There was obviously a strange light flashing in Xiao Yu's eyes.

Luan Bao also looked towards Duan Rong and Xiao Yu at this time, but because Duan Rong was sitting in the shadow of the lamp, he only saw Xiao Yu beside Duan Rong. When their eyes met, their faces instantly became unfriendly.

Duan Rong was sitting in the shadow of the lamp. After hearing what Ruan Fengshan said, he immediately felt miserable.

What quota? He doesn't want it at all!
Sixty thousand silver coins are just a hair to him now, or at most six hairs.

It’s not like he can’t afford it, and he has already given the money to Ximen Kankan and has found a way.

Besides, if he squeezed out Luan Bao's spot, wouldn't that make him uncomfortable in front of Luan's father and son?
Luan Jingfu is different from Xu Shouxian.

Although Xu Shouxian has some power in the escort agency, he is just an accountant after all, and his fighting power is almost zero.

But Luan Jingfu was the leader, and there should be many hidden men in the escort team, and he himself was also a martial artist in the True Qi realm. Duan Rong had finally managed to erase the grudge by clinging to Ruan Fengshan's thigh.

He doesn't want to argue with Luan Jingfu again!
Duan Rong had already made up his mind. Later, when he and Luan Bao fought in the martial arts arena, he would find a way to expose his weakness to Luan Bao and deliberately lose to him...

To avoid future troubles! Seeing Ruan Fengshan speak, the people present were naturally happy to watch the show... After all, the three of them were the best of the younger generation of the escort agency, and they really wanted to see...

Everyone followed Ruan Fengshan out of the backyard and came to the martial arts field in the middle courtyard.

It was already daybreak, but it was not yet time for breakfast. There were some escorts doing morning exercises in the open spaces of the martial arts arena. They were standing in the round pole position, sweating all over, and steam rising from their heads...

The escorts were concentrating on standing still when they suddenly saw a group of people rushing to the side of the martial arts arena. Upon closer inspection, they saw that not only the shopkeeper Ruan Fengshan was there, but also all the big bosses of the escort agency were there.

When the escorts saw this scene, they knew something must be happening, so they immediately stopped their work and prepared to watch the fun.

Duan Rong, Xiao Yu, and Luan Bao were already standing next to the martial arts stage.

When three people compete, the order of the competition is somewhat particular, and the two people who compete first are obviously at a disadvantage.

Duan Rong thought about it and decided to make the first move and lose to Luan Bao directly, the sooner the better.

But just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yu suddenly looked at Luan Bao and said, "Luan Bao, I've heard that you have an extraordinary talent for martial arts. I've always wanted to learn from you, but I never had the chance. Today is a godsend opportunity, why don't we go first!"

Xiao Yu is described as beautiful and is used to traveling around the world. When she speaks, there is a sense of heroic spirit. The nickname of Rouge Tiger is well-deserved.

Although Luan Bao didn't want to go up first, Xiao Yu had already spoken, and Xiao Yu was a woman after all. If he refused, wouldn't he seem too cowardly?

Luan Bao said: "That's great! I've also heard of Miss Xiao's chivalrous reputation, and I've long wanted to learn from her!"

The two of them didn't waste any more words and jumped onto a corner of the martial arts arena.

Xiao Yu clasped his fists and shouted, "Junior Brother Luan, watch out!"

Xiao Yu was seen, with her internal energy infused, her clothes fluttering, her figure as swift as a swallow or a butterfly. As soon as she made a move, she performed the Cloud Snake Step, coupled with her Five Tigers and Sheep Swords at the minor success stage, and immediately surrounded Luan Bao, with the sword light as bright as water.

Outside the martial arts arena, cheers suddenly rang out!
Luan Jingfu stood there, his face already looking very ugly. As soon as the two of them started fighting, he had already seen that Luan Bao was definitely no match for Xiao Yu.

Luan Bao was surrounded by Xiao Yu's sword shadows and could only defend himself with all his might, struggling to catch up. However, his internal energy was obviously not as strong as Xiao Yu's. Every time the weapons came into contact, his palms trembled slightly. After such a long battle, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

The two men's moves were extremely fast, the shadows of their swords flashed, and the sound of weapons clashing was like the sound of popping beans.

Xiao Yu knew that as long as she continued to exchange weapons like this, when Luan Bao's knuckles became numb, she would be able to knock Luan Bao's weapon away in one fell swoop. But Xiao Yu didn't want to do that, and she suddenly suppressed her internal energy.

As a result, Luan Bao felt his palm, which had been shaking more and more violently, suddenly loosen. He immediately held the weapon tightly and started fighting with Xiao Yu again.

Ruan Fengshan, Luan Jingfu and Xiao Zongting, who were watching the game off the field, all had their eyes moved. They obviously saw something.

Duan Rong used his spiritual sense to scan and saw it more clearly.

The internal energy that was surging through Xiao Yu's meridians had obviously shrunk back to his dantian by more than 10%.

"Xiao Yu, are you letting the team win?" Duan Rong's eyes flashed with deep doubt.

Just when Duan Rong was puzzled, Xiao Yu suddenly turned sideways on the martial arts field, and with a flash of a knife, he stabbed Luan Bao's right thigh in the gap between his moves. Luan Bao retreated in pain, but his wound was already bleeding profusely...
