Ye Wushuang was neither angry nor annoyed. With a faint, indifferent smile, he said, “Master Shen, are you afraid?”
Afraid?
Shen Yunrui burst into laughter immediately. “Young man, ‘afraid’ is probably just a word that Qingyun Pavilion is unwilling to admit that their alchemical skills are inferior to those of Shengdan Pavilion. They’re just using you to amuse everyone, right?”
Ye Wushuang smiled again. “Discussing theories while seated is not a competition of alchemical prowess. If Master Shen is afraid of losing to a young man like me, I can understand that.”
As soon as these words left his lips, a cold expression flickered across Shen Yunrui’s face.
“Ye Wushuang…”
With a cold tone, Shen Yunrui said, “If you truly insist on competing with me, then let’s set some rules!”
Provoked by Ye Wushuang, Shen Yunrui’s anger began to rise.
“If you are to replace Cheng Yuanbai in this theoretical discussion, and if you lose, you should cut off your own arm. If I lose, I will do the same. Do you dare to accept?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiqi’s face changed dramatically. She quickly stepped forward and huffed, “Shen Yunrui, did you come to Qingyun Pavilion to cause trouble? Do you really think we are so easy to bully?”
Mu Qiqi had indeed recognized Ye Wushuang’s extraordinary alchemical skills, but compared to Shen Yunrui, could Ye Wushuang really compete?
She had only pulled Ye Wushuang out in a fit of anger just now.
But if it truly came to an alchemical competition with such a high-stakes bet as cutting off an arm, that was definitely unacceptable.
“What’s there to be afraid of?”
However, Ye Wushuang’s next words caused Mu Qiqi’s face to change even more, as she looked at the young man beside her in disbelief.
Has this guy… lost his mind?
Ye Wushuang smiled again. “But cutting off an arm is so boring. If we’re going to compete, it should be for real. The stakes should be higher.”
“How about this…”
With a calm and composed smile, Ye Wushuang suggested, “Whoever loses must commit suicide on the spot!”
At these words, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.
Mu Qiqi’s eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at Ye Wushuang.
This guy… is even more arrogant than she is.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang’s eyes were fixed on Shen Yunrui.
Mu Qiqi was right.
In the past, the Qin clan, Chu clan, and other families, along with Shengdan Pavilion, had all been the main forces in the pursuit and annihilation of the Ye clan. Now, he had returned.
It was time to settle the score!
Since he had encountered someone from Shengdan Pavilion today, the reckoning would begin now!
Shen Yunrui, at this moment, was also staring at the young man in front of him in shock.
Was this young man a madman or a fool?
Did he really dare to gamble with him?
But then, Shen Yunrui let out a faint smile.
This young man was probably just putting on a brave face while being terrified inside. He must have said something like committing suicide if he lost just to intimidate Shen Yunrui.
“Deal!”
Shen Yunrui immediately said with a smile, “Words alone are not enough. Let’s put it in writing!”
With a wave of his hand, Ye Wushuang prepared to write the agreement.
Mu Qiqi was now truly scared. Ye Wushuang was not joking around.
Was he really going to compete with Shen Yunrui?
Seeing Mu Qiqi standing there in a daze, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but smile and say, “You were the one who pulled me out here. Why are you afraid now?”
“I…”
“Don’t worry,” Ye Wushuang said with a calm smile, “No one would risk their own life for nothing.”
“However…” Ye Wushuang glanced at Shen Yunrui and continued, “Once this agreement is written, if he doesn’t keep his word…”
Mu Qiqi immediately said, “Qingyun Pavilion is not a place where one can come and go as they please.”
“Alright,” Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Then let’s write the agreement!”
At this moment, both inside and outside Qingyun Pavilion erupted in an uproar.
It was obvious that Cheng Yuanbai was about to lose in the competition. But now, Qingyun Pavilion had unexpectedly sent out a young man of only sixteen or seventeen to compete with Master Shen Yunrui!
If they lost, not only would Qingyun Pavilion lose face, but Ye Wushuang would lose his life as well.
Who on earth had given this young man, barely sixteen or seventeen years old, the courage to gamble in such a way?
