"Well..." The previously smiling Shangguan Ying'er froze for a moment, wanting to help Ling Mo Xie back out. Ning Qi had been taken to the Azure Emperor's door by Cang Qin while still in swaddling clothes. Growing up surrounded by it and receiving Cang Qin's careful education, he was already a Level Four Alchemist. Although Ling Mo Xie had exceptional talent in Alchemy, Shangguan Ying'er did not believe he could surpass Ning Qi in this regard.
"Alright! I'll take it on! But what if I win?" Before Shangguan Ying'er could speak up to help Ling Mo Xie back out, he had already confidently accepted the challenge, leaving her exasperated as she shot him an angry glare.
Seeing Shangguan Ying'er glaring at him, Ling Mo Xie grinned playfully, appearing unconcerned about the competition. He gave her a reassuring look, signaling her not to worry.
Shangguan Ying'er turned her head away in a huff, ignoring Ling Mo Xie.
"You win?" "Haha!" Ning Qi burst into laughter, as if he had heard something ridiculous. He laughed for quite a while before clutching his chest and gasping for breath, revealing a mouthful of large yellow teeth as he said, "This is truly the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. You really have no self-awareness at all, do you? How dare you say that if you win? Haha!"
Ling Mo Xie remained cheerful. With Elder Feng present, Cang Qin and Ning Qi couldn't act against him, so there was nothing to be concerned about. He said, "What's impossible about that? If you win, I have to let you do as you please. But if I win and you don't suffer any losses, that's not something I'm willing to accept. Isn't that obviously unfair to me?"
Elder Feng's eyes lit up upon hearing this wager. He still hadn't fully figured out the small red vial from last time. If he previously thought Ling Mo Xie had considerable talent in Alchemy, now he felt he couldn't see through Ling Mo Xie at all.
If Ling Mo Xie were to compete with Ning Qi, he would surely have to show some real skills. Elder Feng chuckled inwardly and wanted to facilitate this competition, but he also disapproved of Cang Qin and his disciple taking advantage of the situation.
Thus, he spoke up, "This is indeed too unfair for Mo Xie. If you want to compete and set such a heavy wager, you should show some sincerity."
Upon hearing Elder Feng say this, Cang Qin frowned. Could it be that Ling Mo Xie really had some skill in Alchemy that made Elder Feng confident in him?
Elder Feng was an experienced individual; seeing Cang Qin's expression made him realize he had been too eager and raised Cang Qin's suspicions. Noticing Cang Qin's confusion as if trying to gauge his reaction, Elder Feng shifted his demeanor and winked at Ling Mo Xie.
Cang Qin saw Elder Feng's expression and sneered inwardly. I told you so; how could that kid possibly compare to Qi'er in Alchemy? It turns out Elder Feng is trying to sow doubt in my mind so that I won't let Qi'er compete with Ling Mo Xie anymore—this way, Ling Mo Xie can remain unharmed.
It is indeed a good strategy to conquer without fighting, but ultimately, it cannot escape my eyes! I insist on having Qier compete with Ling Mo Xie!
After all, Ling Mo Xie cannot possibly win against Qier. Cang Qian's crimson lips curled into a smile, revealing a somewhat terrifying expression against his pale face, as he said, "Since Elder Feng has said so, fine! If Ling Mo Xie wins, I will give him the Open Gate Token from Langya Medicine Valley! This wager is quite significant, isn't it?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Elder Feng's eyes; this wager was indeed substantial!
Langya Medicine Valley is known as the Alchemist Sacred Ground, opening once every hundred years. Inside are countless Spiritual Medicines and numerous ancient Dan Fang that have been lost. Even just inhaling the air there, which contains the essence of Spiritual Medicine accumulated over a century, is worth dozens of days of hard work. It can be said that it is the paradise for Alchemists!
"Not enough!" Ling Mo Xie immediately interjected, "You need to add something else! If I win, Ning Qi must apologize to me and call me Grandfather three times!"
Ling Mo Xie hugged Sun Xiaoxiao and said with a grin, clearly confident of victory! Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled as she looked up at Ling Mo Xie, who seemed to take this wager lightly and appeared relaxed.
Cang Qian was very confident in his student Ning Qi; after all, he would be the one winning regardless. So he smiled with his crimson lips and said, "No problem! But you must remember! If Qier wins, you will have to let him handle you as he wishes!"
Ling Mo Xie stared unflinchingly into Cang Qian's eyes, still wearing a casual smile as he nodded and said, "Don't worry; you just need to remember your wager!"
Satisfied with Ling Mo Xie's response, Cang Qian smirked coldly and gave him a deep look before turning to Ning Qi and saying, "Qier, let's go!"
Watching the luxurious carriage gradually move toward the city, Ling Mo Xie smiled helplessly and said to everyone, "Alright! Let's head into the city too! I didn't expect that without doing anything, we would attract another strong enemy! Today we really owe Elder Feng for coming to our rescue!" He then cupped his hands toward Elder Feng as a gesture of respect.
Elder Feng chuckled and replied, "You brat actually knows how to thank others? Alright! Let's go into the city!"
However, Shangguan Ying'er, who stayed behind, called out angrily, "Wait! Ling Mo Xie, how can you accept their wager? They are confident enough to place such a heavy bet! You really don't know your limits!"
"Ying Er......" Elder Feng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shangguan Ying'er: "And you too, Elder Feng! It's understandable that Ling Mo Xie is young and doesn't know better, but you've lost your mind as well? Don't you know who Cang Qian is?"
Previously, Elder Feng, who had acted so arrogantly in front of Cang Qian, could only shake his head helplessly upon hearing Shangguan Ying'er's accusations. He looked at Ling Mo Xie with a wry smile, realizing that this girl still didn't truly understand Mo Xie's alchemical abilities!
Hearing Shangguan Ying'er's tirade, Sun Xiaoxiao, who was holding onto Ling Mo Xie's arm, became displeased. With her hands on her hips, she shouted indignantly, "What does it matter to you whether Mo Xie accepts this bet? You nosy busybody!"
Upon hearing Sun Xiaoxiao's insults, Shangguan Ying'er opened her mouth in shock, a look of grievance on her face. She pointed at Sun Xiaoxiao, unsure of what to say, and could only pout angrily at Ling Mo Xie: "Mo Xie, how can she be so uncultured? Where did this wild girl come from, insisting on sticking to you?"
Ling Mo Xie could only smile helplessly and said, "Alright, both of you should say less. I know you're concerned about me, but..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was met with two cold snorts as they said in unison, "Who is concerned about you?"
