The young man furrowed his brows and turned his gaze towards Qing Mengli. He took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said, “I have long heard of the esteemed reputation of Lady Qing Mengli. Today, upon meeting you, I am truly filled with admiration.”
“Who are you?” Qing Mengli asked indifferently.
“I am Sheng Shaoqing,” he replied.
“Ah?”
Qing Mengli’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she said, “So you are the one who has recently refined quite a few first-grade spirit pills, thus gaining a great deal of fame?”
“You are not from within the Qingyun Empire, are you?”
Sheng Shaoqing smiled and said, “I come from the Shengdan Sect. My father… is Sheng Xuan.”
Shengdan Sect!
That was precisely the force behind the Shengdan Pavilion, with an extremely profound heritage.
However, the name Sheng Xuan was unknown to many.
Qing Mengli glanced at Sheng Shaoqing, her eyes filled with astonishment. Clearly, she was aware of Sheng Xuan.
She continued, “If you think to use your father’s reputation to pressure me, Qingyun Pavilion… that will be very difficult.”
Sheng Shaoqing remained calm and smiled, “Master Shen Yunrui lost the debate to this Ye Wushuang and has written a promissory note, which cannot be denied.”
“However, I would like to ask you, on my father’s behalf, to give me a chance.”
A chance?
Everyone present was extremely curious.
Sheng Shaoqing continued, “Since Ye Wushuang won the debate against Master Shen Yunrui, I, Sheng Shaoqing, representing the Shengdan Pavilion, would like to challenge this young master Ye to another contest.”
“If I lose, Shen Yunrui dies.”
“If I win, Shen Yunrui lives!”
Mu Qiqi, upon hearing this, scoffed, “Shen Yunrui has already lost the debate to Ye Wushuang. Do you really think you can do it?”
Sheng Shaoqing shook his head and said, “I will not debate with Young Master Ye. Instead, we will compete in pill refining.”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Mu Qiqi let out a humph.
What a shameless fellow.
Knowing he would definitely lose in a debate against Ye Wushuang, he chose to challenge in pill refining instead.
But then, Mu Qiqi’s expression froze.
This was not good!
Ever since she had interacted with Ye Wushuang, he had always been good with words, but she had never seen him actually refine pills.
What if Ye Wushuang’s knowledge of pill refining was excellent in theory, but his practical skills were terrible?
Wouldn’t that mean Shen Yunrui would survive?
At this moment, Lady Qing Mengli looked at Ye Wushuang and smiled, “You won the debate. Whether to accept or not is up to you.”
Ye Wushuang looked at Sheng Shaoqing’s confident demeanor and smiled faintly.
Accept!
Of course, he would accept!
A life that was handed to him on a silver platter—why not take it?
But as Ye Wushuang stepped forward, he said with a smile, “Young Master Sheng Shaoqing, you truly have a good scheme.”
“You win against me, and Shen Yunrui lives.”
“You lose to me, and Shen Yunrui dies.”
“Shen Yunrui was supposed to fulfill the bet and pay with his life after losing to me. How come you want to challenge me again and use his life as the stake?”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Shaoqing looked at Ye Wushuang and said indifferently, “Ye Wushuang, I do not know where you come from, but…”
“The reason the Shengdan Pavilion can stand in the Qingyun Empire is because of the Shengdan Sect behind it. You, a frog at the bottom of a well, do not know the true strength of the Shengdan Sect. But I, young master, advise you… to know when to stop.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang smiled.
Know when to stop?
“Funny, this frog at the bottom of the well simply does not like being threatened.”
Ye Wushuang looked at Qing Mengli and said with a smile, “Lady Qing, since Sheng Shaoqing is so insincere, why bother to gamble with him? Just kill Shen Yunrui directly.”
“I think, with the promissory note as evidence and everyone as witnesses, if the Shengdan Pavilion dares to cheat, they will have no face to stand in the Qingyun Empire anymore, right?”
At this moment, Qing Mengli couldn’t help but look at Ye Wushuang a few more times.
This young man’s temperament was truly extraordinary.
Qing Mengli nodded and gently raised her jade-like hand.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, Sheng Shaoqing’s face changed, and he immediately shouted.
