Bingqian was even more worried than Ye Zifeng, "Father. How can you be like this?!"
Liu Mu's eyes flashed and fiercely glared at his daughter.
"I won't go back on my words. But …. You said that you can beat everyone in Leizhou City except for Bingqian right?"
Ye Zifeng couldn't help but laugh. He understood what he was trying to say and his expression turned cold, "Even if that's the case, you can send them to compete with me one by one. Even if I die, I can't compete with all of them right?"
Liu Mu laughed, "Of course not. Don't worry. As long as you win one more round, I won't give you any excuses!"
No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't wait for everyone to finish competing with Ye Zifeng before he wins. If that happens, then he won't need to be the clan leader of the Liu clan anymore. He can just go and be a hooligan.
"Father. You're really ….." Bingqian couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to scold him for being shameless but when she remembered that he was talking to her father, she stopped herself.
Ye Zifeng squinted his eyes, "If that's the case, then I need to add another condition to the bet. Not only do you guys need to stay neutral, but you also need to form an alliance with the Ye clan in the first two months." He definitely wouldn't allow himself to suffer a loss for no reason. No matter what, he had to find something new and increase the stakes of the Absolute Pair Bet.
"This ….." Liu Mu thought about it. If it's only two months, then it shouldn't be a problem. He nodded.
"Alright. I agree."
Ye Zifeng raised his eyebrows, "Good. Then who's next? "
"Next ….. Hehe ….."
Liu Mu's mouth curved into a cold smile.
"Yige ….."
He turned around to look at Liu Yige and whispered a few words to him. At first, Liu Yige was fine but after a while, his eyes flashed with astonishment. When he looked up at Ye Zifeng, he was already sneering.
Liu Yige coldly snorted, "Ye Zifeng. Just you wait."
It was obvious that the two of them were plotting something, and they seemed very confident.
"Big brother rough guy ….." Bingqian muttered. A worried expression appeared on her face. This time, Ye Zifeng didn't hesitate to bet ten percent of the winnings.
If Ye Zifeng lost, she would feel bad about it.
He could tell that Ye Zifeng really wanted to participate in the alchemy competition with him. He wanted to fulfill the promise between the two of them. Liu Bing Qian thought about it carefully. Her beautiful eyes looked deeply at Ye Feng. It was filled with gentleness.
However, according to Ye Zifeng's thoughts, the second bet was the one he wanted the most. He wanted to complete his clan's mission and revive the Ye clan. As for the first bet, he wanted to participate in the alchemy competition. However, he wasn't going for Bingqian. He was going for himself.
Not long after, Liu Yige returned, panting and laughing.
"Reporting to Patriarch, Young Mistress Jing has arrived …"
As he spoke, he pointed behind him.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Oh? Who is it this time? "
Just as he finished speaking, a slender hand as smooth as white jade lifted the curtain in the room, and a young girl leisurely walked in. The young girl was wearing a white robe. She looked like she was in a mist. Her appearance wasn't the most outstanding. She gave off the feeling that she didn't eat the food of mortals. However, her pale lips gave off a sickly feeling.
"Jing 'er greets Uncle Liu ….."
"Come. Miss Jing, no need to be so polite. Sit!"
Liu Bing Qian stood up in shock and looked at her in a daze. "Senior Sister, why are you here?"
The girl in front of her was called Yang Jing. She was the same as Bingqian. She was also Muyun Old Devil's disciple. She was around the same age as Bingqian but because she entered the sect earlier, Bingqian called her senior sister.
Yang Jing smiled, "The alchemy competition is about to start. Master Old Devil told me to come to Leizhou City to pick you up. I wanted to come find you tomorrow but Uncle Liu called me over. He said that he needs my help. "
Bingqian muttered, "Why did master send you to pick me up? You make it sound like I won't go myself …. "Bingqian's eyes flashed. She was feeling guilty.
Yang Jing bitterly smiled, "Aren't you afraid that you'll be at the bottom every time? That's why you're always trying to make excuses. If it wasn't like that, why would I come to Leizhou City?"
On the surface, she came to pick Bingqian up to the alchemy competition. However, in reality, she was forcing Bingqian to go.
Bingqian thought about how she was humiliated during the alchemy competition and couldn't bear to think about it.
"Cough cough ….."
If they keep talking like this, the two of them will start reminiscing about the past. Liu Mu naturally came out to stop them.
Liu Mu smiled and looked at Yang Jing, "Miss Jing, I'm really sorry. You've come to Leizhou City and my Liu clan hasn't received you properly yet. We're going to have to trouble you."
A smile appeared on Yang Jing's pale face, "Uncle Liu's words are too serious. Bingqian and I are like sisters. The Liu clan is like a second home to me. It's normal for me to help out a bit. However, I don't know what you want me to do ….."
Bingqian pulled Yang Jing over and whispered, "Senior sister Jing, my dad wants you to compete with my friend. Can you go easy on him? I want to go to the alchemy competition with him ….."
"Your friend …..?" Yang Jing was shocked and looked deeply at Ye Zifeng.
Yang Jing had known Bingqian for a long time but this was the first time she saw Bingqian care so much about a guy. In the past, Bingqian had always been obsessed with alchemy. She had never talked about men before, let alone having a guy as a friend.
Liu Mu's expression changed and solemnly said, "Qian-er! This is related to the clan's benefits. Don't ruin it! "
Liu Bingqian unhappily let out an "oh" before returning to her seat and sitting beside Liu Ningzi.
Ye Zifeng looked at Yang Jing and furrowed his brows, "Uncle Liu, she's from Tiandao City. Could it be that just because she's a guest elder of the Liu clan, she's a part of the Liu clan? Does that mean that she's from Leizhou City?"
It's not that he was afraid of Yang Jing. It's just that he didn't like Liu Mu's despicable way of doing things.
Liu Mu happily nodded and laughed, "Zifeng. There's something you don't know about. Miss Jing used to be someone from the Yang clan in Leizhou City. However, because her body was weak, she needed to obtain Pure Yang qi from the Martial Spirit realm cultivators in Leizhou City. That's why she left Leizhou City and went to her master, Muyun Old Devil."
He faintly smiled and continued, "So, of course she can be counted as a citizen of Leizhou City!"
Ye Zifeng nodded and looked back at Bingqian, "Then, how's her alchemy skills compared to yours?"
Bingqian thought for a bit and told the truth, "Even though senior sister's talent is higher than mine, she's always been weak. She can't use her qi to refine pills. Compared to me, she's a lot weaker. But be careful, senior martial sister is much more powerful than that Song Shiyun. "
Liu Yige coldly laughed, "Give up. Ye Zifeng. Miss Jing's alchemy skills are way better than that Song Shiyun's. You should give up now. That way, you can save some face."
"So that's how it is." Ye Zifeng understood and smiled, "Alright. I accept this challenge. However, Miss Jing, how about I decide what to do this time?"
Yang Jing sweetly smiled, "No problem."
In her eyes, other than Bingqian, no one else in Leizhou City can compete with her in alchemy. In the past, there were many people like Ye Zifeng who went to the Liu clan to challenge them. She had helped the Liu clan teach them a lesson. Thus, she didn't believe that this young man in front of her could be that good at alchemy.
Ye Zifeng laughed, "Great. Then the pill we're going to use this time is ….. a Pure Yang pill. How about it?"
At first, Yang Jing had a calm expression on her face. However, when she heard Ye Zifeng say the words "Pure Yang Pill", her expression changed and she stood up from her seat.
"What? How is that possible? You know how to concoct a Pure Yang Pill? "
Her body was weak and sickly. She had been relying on the Pure Yang qi of the Martial Spirit realm to prolong her life. If she had a Pure Yang Pill, then she wouldn't need anyone's help.
However, she didn't know that even though this pill wasn't hard to concoct, the success rate was very low. Most of the time, she wouldn't even be able to successfully concoct a single pill even after a hundred sets of ingredients. That's why she was only trying it out.
Right now, Ye Zifeng was able to tell that Yang Jing didn't know how to concoct a pill from his conversation with Bingqian.
Liu Mu furrowed his brows and looked at Bingqian, "Qian-er, is this Pure Yang Pill hard to concoct?"
Bingqian recovered from her shock, "Of course. If sister Jing had a Pure Yang Pill, then why would she stay in Tiandao City and receive other people's Pure Yang qi? Haven't you noticed that her body is getting worse and worse? She's coming home less and less often."
"So that's how it is." Liu Mu looked deeply at Ye Zifeng. From Bingqian's tone, it seems like even she can't concoct a Pure Yang Pill. If Ye Zifeng can concoct it, then it'll make up for Bingqian's shortcomings. Also, Ye Zifeng's way of doing things is much better than that trash Song Shiyun.
Thinking about this, Liu Mu didn't really mind letting Ye Zifeng participate in the alchemy competition. However, compared to this, he still wanted to win the Ye clan's 10% share of the business route.
He quickly waved his hand and called for a servant, "Hurry up. Did you guys hear that? Bring me the ingredients for the Pure Yang Pill."
