This roundabout way to elevate oneself, thereby belittling Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan naturally understood, raised his eyebrows with a teasing smile and said, "What you said is indeed true, but having a fan in hand while thinking about others is somewhat like eating from the bowl while looking at the pot, which is hard to avoid. Today you're interested in this beauty, tomorrow you may fancy another!"

The man with the white mask hinted at something, but wasn't Liu Zixuan doing the same?

Since he already had his beloved fan, still thinking of others is like already having a woman by your side, yet unable to resist when you see other girls.

Isn't this clearly being fickle?

This isn't a character, but a scumbag!

As Liu Zixuan's words fell, the man with the white mask snorted coldly: "Quite sharp-tongued! But so what!"

"So what?" Liu Zixuan replied with a meaningful smile.

"Spending a fortune for a beauty's smile, that's indeed one of life's great joys." The man in the white mask looked at the stall owner: "I'll buy this fan."

"Decide who buys it first, then speak." Unexpectedly, the owner showed interest in watching the drama rather than rushing to make money, seeming to want Liu Zixuan and the man with the white mask to have a duel!

The man with the white mask glanced at Liu Zixuan: "I advise you not to waste your efforts, even if this fan is auctioned on site, you'll lose to me!"

Liu Zixuan shrugged: "How do you know I'm bound to lose?"

"Ignorant!" The man with the white mask looked at the owner and said, "Auction or duel?"

The owner chuckled: "My sign clearly states one item for one million, so no auction. I don't earn extra money, but I love watching drama, so it's the duel, of course!"

Hearing about the duel, Zhou Nian quickly tugged at Liu Zixuan's shirt: "Don't agree."

"Why?" Liu Zixuan asked puzzled.

Previously, Lunatic Zhou also mentioned that you shouldn't fight in the Ghost Market unless you issue a challenge letter and set up a duel. But Liu Zixuan felt that setting up a duel was just about finding a stage for mutual sparring, so why did it seem Zhou Nian was very reluctant for such a thing to happen?

Zhou Nian paused and explained, "It's just the beginning. If the duel is set up, it will definitely be the first duel of this year's Ghost Market."

"What's wrong with the first duel?"

"The first duel is very special. The winner will have to accept challenges from anyone unconditionally in the following days, but the loser will be expelled from the Ghost Market and will not be allowed to step in for five years!" Zhou Nian explained.

Liu Zixuan stroked his chin and thought: "Although accepting any challenge unconditionally would be somewhat troublesome, it's also a good chance to exercise!"

"If the duel were purely about win or lose, it wouldn't matter, but the fear is about the stakes. Because it's the first duel, it will attract many spectators, and these wealthy people love watching drama. They will certainly bet on one of you to win, with luck, the winner can make a fortune, but with bad luck, the loser could go bankrupt!"

"In these stakes, the odds are calculated based on you two, the victor takes the money, and the loser also pays from their own pockets."

"This betting method is quite peculiar." Liu Zixuan grinned, Ghost Market is indeed different from the outside!

If it were outside, at most, the loser would get beaten and cursed, without losing money, but here, the loser has to shell out a lot of money.

"Kid, aren't you daring enough to accept my challenge letter?" The man in the white mask sounded more confident listening to their conversation.

In his opinion, Liu Zixuan was a rookie here for the first time, and in his view, just based on Liu Zixuan's build, he was sure to lose if they set up a duel!

"Zixuan, forget it, it's just a fan!" Zhou Nian discouraged. She was worried after all, if Liu Zixuan truly lost, he would not only be hurt by the man in the white mask but also go bankrupt, which would go against the initial purpose of coming here!

Liu Zixuan shook his head: "No, it's not just a fan, but a man's dignity!"

Humiliating Liu Zixuan in front of the big-breasted girl, it's more than just a fan!

Moreover, just now, the big-breasted girl Zhou Nian mentioned, if you win, you can make a fortune. Here at Ghost Market, a fan costs one million. If one encounters other treasures, wouldn't they be of higher prices?

Therefore, Liu Zixuan must accept this challenge letter! And he has to accept it!

Turning to the man with the white mask, he said with a smile: "I accept your challenge letter."

"Good. Let's set up the duel!"

The man in the white mask said to the owner.

The owner was more than pleased to hear this and hurriedly called people to get the manager of the Ghost Market.

The Ghost Market opens once a year.

And this year's Ghost Market hadn't truly begun, yet it had already set the stage for the first duel, which undoubtedly draws a large crowd from other places to see who dares to be so bold on the first day!

Before long, the manager of the Ghost Market arrived with some things and erected a ring-like stage using rail shapes!

One of the managers stepped into the center of the stage and waved to the people.

Immediately, everyone quieted down!

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me announce the duel rules."

A hoarse voice slowly came from the manager's mouth: "First, regardless of life and death on the stage, both must sign a life and death agreement before starting."

"Second, unlimited betting is allowed, same as previous years, the winner will get seventy percent of all betting profits, the loser will contribute eighty percent of their entire assets, all evaluated by us as managers!"

"Third, because it's this year's first duel, the winner must unconditionally accept challenges from anyone over the next few days! And the loser, if still alive, will be expelled from the Ghost Market, and not allowed entry for five years!"

Saying this, a woman beside the manager came up and handed two A4 papers to Liu Zixuan and the man with the white mask.

"Sign the life and death agreement, life and death are by fate, not personal choice, the ring is a life-and-death battle, gentlemen, consider carefully before signing your names. Don't worry, your personal information will only be known to us managers, others won't know it!"

Liu Zixuan raised his head to look at the man with the white mask, a slight curve at his lips, and straightforwardly signed his name. Then, he tossed the pen aside and jumped into the barrier.

The man with the white mask snorted coldly, mocked with a smile: "Kid, have you thought it through? Having signed the life and death agreement, I won't hesitate to take your life!"

"Better think about how you'll beg for mercy later!" Liu Zixuan crossed his arms and smiled coldly.

"Ignorant brat, today I'll show you how high the sky and how broad the earth really are!" The man with the white mask grinned viciously, and after signing, he also walked into the barrier!

The life-and-death duel begins officially!
