Chapter 884: Waiting for Someone to Jump Into a Pit
Hence, Wei Zhixuan had to make his shameless plundering of the Golden Pill Sect’s crystal mine seem legitimate. However, this was good for Ling Chuxi too. She dug the pit one step at a time and he jumped into it one step at a time too.
“If I lose, I will leave the Jade Peak Sect at your disposal and become the Golden Pill Sect’s subsidiary sect.” Wei Zhixuan waved his hand and said shamelessly, not once thinking that he might lose. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on seventy percent of the crystal mine, and didn’t want to waste time debating with Ling Chuxi. He had made a big deal, but it was impossible for him to lose anyway, so bringing anything up would be fine. He cursed secretly in his heart: ‘A seizure… only in your dreams! Little girl, you’ll be dead before you know it.’
“Alright, let’s sign it on paper, so that no one can renege on their wager once they’ve lost.” Ling Chuxi smiled sweetly. This Wei Zhixuan was really too adorable, actually daring to place his sect as a wager. He had dug his own pit, jumped into it, and then deepened it himself! The Su family had only just returned; even if the sect was established, their foundation would still be weak. Even if Wei Zhixuan was driven away today, he may come and stir up trouble again. If he signed it on paper, the Jade Peak Sect would turn into their subsidiary sect, so if trouble were to arise in the future, it would be easy to solve it.
“Let’s sign it then. As if I would be afraid of you!” Although Wei Zhixuan was not afraid of Ling Chuxi reneging, if they were to find a powerful helper in the future, they could just say that there was no proof. Thus, signing the paperwork would be the best course of action. Wei Zhixuan had his own calculations, but he clearly hadn’t thought them through.
When she heard them talk about signing paperwork, Lan Xinyu became extremely excited and immediately went back to find a paper and brush so they could sign an agreement on the spot. Seeing Ling Chuxi luring someone in, she felt a sense of satisfaction, especially since the person was not her.
When Su Yizhi and the others saw Ling Chuxi making a bet on the crystal mine, they felt a little uneasy. However, they did not object, knowing that regardless of Ling Chuxi’s agreement, Wei Zhixuan was determined to make the crystal mine his own. If it was not settled today, it would be a big problem in the future. By signing this agreement, at least the Golden Pill Sect had a chance. If they were to win, the strength of the sect would be greatly improved.
“Done. Who will be the one to fight me?” Wei Zhixuan asked impatiently, throwing aside the brush after signing his name and stamping his fingerprint.
“Allow me to experience Sect Master Wei’s expert skills.” Su Yizhi strode forward. He had just witnessed Wei Zhixuan’s strength. The sect master should be slightly stronger than him, but if Su Yizhi used that ancestral sword, he should have a chance of winning.
“Elder Su, let me.” Ling Chuxi stopped Su Yizhi.
“Chuxi, let me go. You can watch from the sidelines.” Su Yizhi knew that Ling Chuxi’s strength was not weak, and that she had entered the realm of True Essence at a young age. However, she was still at the primary stage of True Essence. Even if the White Jade Crystal Heart helped her, she would only still be in the intermediate stage of True Essence. Compared to him, she was still a notch weaker, so naturally, he was unwilling to let her take the risk.
“Elder Su, trust me, I’m confident I can win,” Ling Chuxi said seriously.
“…Very well then, just don’t force yourself. Even if we were to lose, we will only be losing seventy percent of the crystal mine. Our Golden Pill Sect does not only have one crystal mine, and sooner or later, we will find other crystal mines.” After hearing Ling Chuxi’s words, Su Yizhi couldn’t object. He was already old. The affairs of the sect would be completely handed over to Ling Chuxi soon, and she had to be given more authority to make decisions. However, he was just worried that Ling Chuxi would push herself too hard to win this battle, and an accident would occur.
