"No, I have never paid much attention to Barbara's matter. On the contrary, I have to leave everything to you to deal with it yourself, which will probably be very troublesome."

Bai Qiyun never felt that Barbara's matter was very important to him. Anyway, he didn't show up in Mondstadt. If he didn't have anything to do with Barbara in the end, it would have no impact on him.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the two was really confirmed according to what Barbara said, that would be the time when he would feel a big headache.

"Really? Alas...that child sometimes acts impulsively."

Qin shook her head, but did not mention how to deal with this matter in the future.

I'm afraid this matter is quite difficult even for her.

"Let's talk about what's going on between you and me, Miss Qin."

Bai Qiyun didn't want to talk too much about Barbara, so he brought the topic back to the two of them.

He coughed lightly and continued.

"This time I initiate a duel, mainly because I feel that it would be bad for you and me to drag this matter out any longer. Regardless of whether we win or lose in the duel, it will give you and me a suitable reason to end this rumor."

He said this without blushing or heartbeat. Although everything made sense, he ignored the fact that Lisa fanned the flames and spread the matter.

If he hadn't told Lisa about his needs, how could he have caused such a storm in the city.

Perhaps with this in mind, Bai Qiyun did not show much initiative in communicating with Qin and Barbara, which was to make up for the negative impact of his behavior.

To put it simply, even if this matter cannot be accomplished, he will not cause any trouble to the Gunnhild family.

Although Bai Qiyun didn't say it explicitly, Qin obviously understood the meaning hidden in his words.

She nodded slightly and said softly.

"Thank you."

The conversation between the two did not last long, and Qin did not tell the man in front of her that she would bet everything on this duel.

She didn't want to bring too much meaningless pressure to her opponent. If Bai Qiyun held back due to scruples and the duel failed, she would not be able to accept it even as the winner.

The two returned to the duel venue one after another. At this time, everyone turned their attention away because of the arrival of the two.

Qin let go of the long sword wrapped in cloth in her hand, but as soon as the sword revealed its true form, it attracted strange looks from everyone.

What she saw lying in her hand was not a magic weapon, nor even a sophisticated standard weapon. It was just a simple wooden sword, and there were many scratches on it, which seemed to be left by time.

traces below.

Bai Qiyun raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

Is this woman planning to let him off on purpose? Or is she looking down on him?

As if she noticed the man, Qin explained with a smile on her lips.

"Don't worry, this is the wooden sword I used to practice swordsmanship when I was young. If it's just a competition of swordsmanship, I'm more comfortable with this one, you can do whatever you want."

"ha..."

Having said that, if Bai Qiyun fights with iron guns again, even if he wins, it won't look good. If he loses... it will be even worse.

There was no other way, Bai Qiyun could only find someone to replace his weapon with a wooden gun.

The offensive nature of a wooden gun cannot be compared to that of an iron gun. Even due to the imbalance of the weight, the feel is also very different compared to that of a wooden iron gun.

In this regard, the wooden sword will be more advantageous, at least it does not change the center of gravity of the weapon.

Bai Qiyun rubbed the wooden gun in his hand, adjusting to its weight.

"The rules of the duel are very simple, until someone on one side admits defeat or loses the ability to fight, but I still hope that the two of you can do it until then."

Frederica stepped forward as the referee herself and announced the rules.

Bai Qiyun and Qin stood on opposite sides of the venue as before.

The spectators on both sides stood on both sides of the venue. The duel had not yet begun, but the chilling atmosphere in the venue cheered up everyone present.

"Then, let's begin!"

Following Frederica's order, Bai Qiyun immediately took up his stance.

But just when he was about to think about how to attack, he saw Qin tapping lightly on the ground with her high heels.

The next second, her figure was like a cheetah, running towards the man in front of her.

That speed was three minutes faster than Frederica's before.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun's eyes widened, and he immediately turned the spear in his hand in front of him, turning his attack posture into defense.

But even so, his actions failed to affect Qin's desire to attack.

But she saw the wooden sword she held at her side thrust forward suddenly. The wooden sword hidden in the dusk glowed with a dim yellow light, as if it was integrated with the light.

Suddenly, the wooden sword thrust forward like thunder and hit the barrel of the spear.

A huge force spread from the gun barrel, forcing Bai Qiyun to take two steps back involuntarily.

Bai Qiyun was slightly shocked. He was suppressed by Qin in just one encounter, and it was also suppressed by the purest physical power.

You must know that the other party has not used any elemental power yet.

This kind of thing had never happened before when he fought against Frederica.

Bai Qiyun put away his mind, gathered his energy, and with a move of his wrist, the unloaded spear thrust forward, switching from defense to offense.

Seeing this, Qin's eyes flashed with light, and the wooden sword in his hand turned into a thorn, slashing directly towards the spear's body.

It happened to be struck at a precise position. Three points forward was the palm of Bai Qiyun's hand. As long as it continued upward along the barrel of the gun, it would cause actual damage.

Bai Qiyun had no choice but to stop his attack and draw his spear back to his side to prevent his attack from leading him into a trap.

With just one easy blow, Qin defused Bai Qiyun's counterattack.

But the fight was not over. The moment Bai Qiyun gave up the attack, Qin's long sword followed directly.

The position it aimed at was naturally Bai Qiyun's palm holding the spear.

For a time, the two fell into a close fight.

During the previous duel with Frederica, the close combat caused Bai Qiyun great trouble.

But this time, Qin came with great force, even more powerful than her mother.

Bai Qiyun could only fight and retreat, not daring to attack head on.

"wipe..."

The soles of the shoes stepped on the ground, making a rough friction sound.

Unknowingly, Bai Qiyun had been forced back to the edge of the venue by Qin.

Although the duel rules between the two did not say that they would lose if they were forced out of the venue, Bai Qiyun knew that he could no longer retreat.

If you retreat further, you will have completely lost the possibility of counterattack in terms of momentum.

A flash of determination flashed in Bai Qiyun's eyes, and the spear in his hand blocked Qin's wooden sword.
