"If Young Master Shen is this arrogant, then I have no fear of teaching you a lesson." Yao YuanYing sneered, "Young Master Shen, if you lose, I will make your entire Changshui Shen clan slaves of the Cave Heaven Realm! Your phoenix bloodline makes you excellent at alchemy."

Translation: "\"Since Young Master Shen is so arrogant, I, too, am not afraid to teach you a lesson. \" Yao YuanYing sneered, \"Young Master Shen, if you lose, I will have the entire Changshui Shen clan serve as slaves to my Cave Heaven Realm!

"My family will never be wagered at any time; only items or livestock can be stakes." Shen Qingli said calmly.

Translation: "\"My family will never be betting stakes at any time; only items and livestock can be wagers. \" Shen Qingli said calmly."

"I thought this was common knowledge in Sheng Long Tian—that one's family should never be a wager. Is the Cave Heaven Realm any different? Do you treat your family and fellow disciples like pigs and dogs, betting on them at will?"

Translation: "\"I thought this was common knowledge in Sheng Long Tian—isn't it the same in your Cave Heaven Realm? You treat your family and fellow disciples as betting chips, like pigs and dogs. \"

The disciples of the Cave Heaven Realm changed expression, and Yao YuanYing's eyes turned icy: "I have absolute confidence; I won't lose. And you—you're clearly afraid."

Translation: "The disciples of the Cave Heaven Realm all changed expression, and Yao YuanYing's eyes turned icy: \"I have absolute confidence; I will not lose. And you, clearly, are afraid. \"

Translation: "\"I won't debate trivial matters with those who see things differently; my stake will only be the territory and resources of the Changshui Shen clan—bet or not. If you don't want to wager, let's just properly exchange alchemy skills, without all the pointless gimmicks. \"

Our understandings differ, our values differ—no need to waste time.

Translation: "Since our perceptions and values differ, there's no point wasting time."

"Then let's exchange techniques," Ji Bai said.

Translation: "\"Then let's exchange. \" Ji Bai spoke."

"A gentleman does not keep company with women," Yao YuanYing scoffed, yet he agreed: "Let's just exchange techniques, but we should still have a small stake. Young Master Shen, if you lose, return my Yao clan's ancient text. If I lose, you may take one item of mine."

Translation: "\"A gentleman does not associate with women in the same stream. \" Yao YuanYing snorted, yet agreed, \"Let's just exchange, but we still need a little stake. Young Master Shen, if you lose, return my Yao clan's ancient text. If I lose, you may also take one item from me. \"

"A gentleman does not keep company with women," Yao YuanYing scoffed, yet he agreed: "Let's just exchange techniques, but we should still have a small stake. Young Master Shen, if you lose, return my Yao clan's ancient text. If I lose, you may take one item of mine."

Sure enough, he came for the ancient text given by the Medicine God Valley Master; Shen Qingli wasn't surprised, but……

Translation: "Sure enough, he came for the ancient text given by the Valley Master of the Medicine God Valley; Shen Qingli wasn't surprised, but……"

Sure enough, he came for the ancient text given by the Medicine God Valley Master; Shen Qingli wasn't surprised, but……

She directly took out the ancient text and, using mystic power, pushed it toward Yao YuanYing, saying, "This book rightfully belongs to your Medicine God Valley; the Valley Master once gave it to me, and though I felt it was too precious, I couldn't refuse the kindness, so I accepted it. Now, it returns to its rightful owner."

Now, it returns to its rightful owner."

Yao YuanYing's face twitched slightly; because Shen Qingli gave it so readily, it made him seem unusually petty. It's like a romantic partner who, after a breakup, still asks the other to return the gifts they gave.

Translation: "Yao YuanYing's face twitched slightly, for Shen Qingli's overly generous gesture made him seem petty. It was just like a couple breaking up, where the man later asks the woman to return his previous gifts."

"For such a small matter, you could have simply written a letter to my daughter.

Shen Kuoshu stated coldly, "Having come to this, I thought you were on bad terms with the main Yao lineage."

Yao YuanYing's face darkened even further…

Translation: "Yao YuanYing's face immediately darkened further……"

"Forget it; I only wanted this item anyway."

Translation: "\"Forget it; I only wanted this item after all. \"

The Cave Heaven Old Ancestor timely spoke up, giving his disciple a way out.

"It's all my disciple's pettiness." Yao YuanYing went along with it, and in doing so actually seemed more magnanimous.

Translation: "\"It's all my disciple's pettiness. \" Yao YuanYing went along, making excuses, which actually made him seem more magnanimous."

"Then shall we still compete?" Shen Qingli asked with a smile, appearing quite amiable, as if the earlier arrogant remarks weren't hers.

Translation: "\"Shall we still compete? \" Shen Qingli asked with a smile, appearing quite amiable, as if her earlier arrogant proclamation hadn't come from her."

"Of course we should compete." The Cave Heaven Old Ancestor also laughed, saying, "However, there's no need to be so directly opposed. Young Master Shen, since you're also an alchemist, why not join the other youths in this competition? If fate wills it, you and Yuan Ying will naturally meet in the finals."

"Old fox!" Shen Qinghuang muttered under his breath, "He thinks my little sister is overconfident, can't gauge her depth, and plans to use other alchemists to test her first."

Translation: "\"Old fox! \" Shen Qinghuang muttered quietly, \"He thinks my little sister is overconfident, can't gauge her depth, and plans to use other alchemists to probe her first. \"

But Ji Bai already praised, "That's not bad; young people should participate in more competitions to gain experience—it's excellent."

Translation: "\"Young Master Shen, no need for courtesy—come to think of it, you share affinity with my Primordial Sect; you may call me Uncle Master if you wish. If you have any doubts, just speak. \" Ji Bai said amiably."

As a former sect master of the Primordial Sect, Ji Bai enjoys an excellent reputation.

Translation: "As the former sect master of the Primordial Sect, Ji Bai enjoys an excellent reputation."

But upon first seeing him, Shen Qingli felt he was like a deluxe version of Bai Ren Shan.

So, she also mustered her full spirit and humbly asked, "Sect Master Ji, I've heard that as the organizer of this alchemist competition, the Primordial Sect will give extra rewards to the first-place winner; is that true?"

Translation: "Thus, she summoned all her vigor to humbly ask, \"Sect Master Ji, I've heard that as the organizer of this alchemist competition, the Primordial Sect will grant an extra reward to the first-place winner—is that true? \"

"Of course it's true, though the reward hasn't been decided yet. What about it? A Li, do you have something in mind?" Ji Bai even switched to a more familiar term, as if he were a close elder to Shen Qingli.

Translation: "\"It's true, though the reward hasn't been decided yet. How about it, A Li—do you have something you want? \" Ji Bai also switched to a more familiar term, as if he were a close elder of Shen Qingli."

"It's not about material things," Shen Qingli said bluntly. "I only hope your sect won't make things difficult for Senior Tianxing, Senior Ji Wanxing, and the few friends who once helped me in danger, allowing the Tianxing lineage to leave the Primordial Sect smoothly."

Translation: "\"It's not about objects, \" Shen Qingli said bluntly. \"I only hope your sect won't make things difficult for Senior Tianxing, Senior Ji Wanxing, and the few friends who once helped me in danger, allowing the Tianxing lineage to leave the Primordial Sect smoothly. \"

"A Li, this is an internal matter of my sect; your request oversteps bounds." Ji Bai sighed, "How about this: if you become champion and work as an alchemist for my Primordial Sect for one year, I promise to completely annul your engagement to Young Master Pei."

Translation: "\"A Li, this is internal sect business; your request oversteps. \" Ji Bai sighed, \"How about this: if you become champion, I'll have you practice alchemy for my Primordial Sect for a year, and I promise to completely annul your engagement to Young Master Pei. \"

"A Li, this is an internal matter of my sect; your request oversteps bounds." Ji Bai sighed, "How about this: if you become champion and work as an alchemist for my Primordial Sect for one year, I promise to completely annul your engagement to Young Master Pei."

Upon saying that…

Translation: "Upon those words……"

"An engagement?"

Translation: "\"An engagement? \""

Di Jin spoke up immediately.

Translation: "Di Jin immediately spoke up."

"What engagement?"

Translation: "\"What engagement? \""

"How could he not know?"

Translation: "\"How would he not know? \""

However…

Translation: "\"But……\""

"Sister, agree to him, but don't give alchemy."

Translation: "\"My Azure Cloud Realm does not agree. \" Pei Jianshu's voice rang out."

"I, of the Azure Cloud Realm, will not agree," Pei Jianshu's voice rang out.

Although this engagement has been suppressed, he also knows that Shen Qingli does not want to marry him.

Translation: "Although this engagement has been pressed upon him, he also knows Shen Qingli does not wish to marry him."

But, the engagement remains, so his longing remains! No matter what, he will not give up.

"Sect Master Ji, the oath is there, I dare not gamble with my realm." Pei Heng also spoke.

"You three probably forgot, A Li is not a disciple of the Hunyuan Sect, the engagement you speak of is merely talk on paper." Shen Kuo is quite clear-headed, not at all led astray! Moreover, he even dropped a bombshell.

"Moreover, my daughter already has a fiancé chosen by childhood betrothal. I never mentioned it before because the person wasn't here; even if I had said it, you probably wouldn't believe me. Now, my son-in-law is right here." Shen Kuo raised his hand, pointing to Di Jin, winning Jin's heart!

Everyone thought Shen Qingli was stupid...

Her father, however, kept saying, "My son-in-law, I've raised him since childhood; there's no need for you all to guess randomly."
