The young man furrowed his brow and stepped forward, arching his hands respectfully as he said, “I have long heard of the esteemed reputation of Lady Qing Mengli, the master of the Qingyun Pavilion. Today, upon meeting you, I am truly impressed.”
“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 gained fame for refining numerous first-grade spiritual elixirs?”
“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.”
The Shengdan Sect!
That was the formidable power behind the Shengdan Pavilion, with an extremely deep background.
However, the name Sheng Xuan was unknown to many.
Qing Mengli glanced at Sheng Shaoqing, her eyes widening in surprise. Clearly, she was aware of Sheng Xuan.
She continued, “If you think you can use your father’s reputation to pressure my Qingyun Pavilion, that will be… very difficult.”
Sheng Shaoqing remained calm and said with a smile, “Master Shen Yunrui lost the discussion to Ye Wushuang and has already signed the agreement. There is no room for denial.”
“However, I would like to ask you, on my father’s behalf, to give me a chance.”
A chance?
Everyone present was filled with curiosity.
Sheng Shaoqing continued, “Since Ye Wushuang has won the discussion 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.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiqi sneered, “Shen Yunrui has already lost the discussion to Ye Wushuang. Do you really think you can do better?”
Sheng Shaoqing shook his head and said, “I am not going to discuss with Ye Wushuang. Instead, I propose a contest in refining elixirs.”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Mu Qiqi let out a disdainful hum.
What a shameless fellow.
Knowing he would definitely lose in a discussion against Ye Wushuang, he wanted to challenge him in elixir refining instead.
But then, Mu Qiqi was taken aback.
This wouldn’t do!
Ever since she had interacted with Ye Wushuang, he had always been good with words, but she had never seen him actually refine an elixir.
What if Ye Wushuang was all talk and no action when it came to actual elixir refining?
Wouldn’t that mean Shen Yunrui would be spared?
At this moment, Lady Qing Mengli’s beautiful eyes turned to Ye Wushuang, and she said with a smile, “You won the discussion. 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 handed to him on a silver platter was not to be refused.
But as Ye Wushuang stepped forward, he said with a smile, “Young Master Sheng Shaoqing, you certainly have a good plan.”
“If you win me, Shen Yunrui lives.”
“If I win you, Shen Yunrui dies.”
“Shen Yunrui was supposed to fulfill the agreement and pay with his life after losing to me. How come you want to challenge me again and use his life as a bet?”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Shaoqing looked at Ye Wushuang and said indifferently, “Ye Wushuang, I do not know where you come from, but…”
“The Shengdan Pavilion has established itself in the Qingyun Empire because of the backing of the Shengdan Sect. You, a frog at the bottom of a well, do not know the true strength of the Shengdan Sect. But I advise you… to know when to stop.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang smiled.
Know when to stop?
“Ironic, I, this frog at the bottom of a well, simply do not like being threatened.”
Ye Wushuang turned to Qing Mengli and said with a smile, “Lady Qing, since Sheng Shaoqing is so insincere, why gamble with him? Just kill Shen Yunrui.”
“I think, with the agreement in place and witnessed by everyone here, the Shengdan Pavilion will have no face to stand in the Qingyun Empire if they try to back out, right?”
At this moment, Qing Mengli couldn’t help but take a closer look at Ye Wushuang.
This young man had a rather extraordinary character.
Qing Mengli nodded and raised her jade-like hand slightly.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, Sheng Shaoqing’s face changed, and he immediately shouted.
