Chapter 36: These Are All My Toys.
“Oh? It seems Young Master Su looks down on these few Yellow-grade spiritual artifacts in my hand.”
“I suppose Young Master Su must have some spiritual artifacts of a higher grade than Yellow-grade. That would make sense.”
Ye Changsheng’s emotions didn’t fluctuate because of Su Lingxi’s words. His smile didn’t diminish. “I heard that Young Master Su is looking for a high-grade Profound-grade weapon, is that right?”
“Yes, but so what?” Su Lingxi replied.
“Then why don’t we make a bet? I happen to have a high-grade Profound-grade longsword that my family gave me, called the Illusory Moon Soaring Sky.”
“If Young Master Su can produce a mid-grade Profound-grade spiritual artifact, then you win. I’ll lose this high-grade Profound-grade weapon to you, and at the same time, you’ll prove that you indeed have the qualifications to look down on these three Yellow-grade spiritual artifacts.”
“But if you can’t, then don’t make a fool of yourself here and get out of the Snowfall Sect forever.”
“Do you dare to accept this bet?”
With that, Ye Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his expression showing one hundred percent confidence in his bet.
The surrounding people were extremely envious when they learned that Ye Changsheng actually had a high-grade Profound-grade weapon. It should be known that a high-grade weapon was enough to make up for the gap in cultivation.
For Ye Changsheng to use this as a bet, he was clearly saying it with the intention of winning.
His goal was also very clear: to make Su Lingxi disappear from the Snowfall Sect completely.
The next step was to see if Su Lingxi dared to accept. In Ye Changsheng’s heart, as long as Su Lingxi wasn’t a fool, she wouldn’t accept. After all, a mid-grade Profound-grade weapon wasn’t something that could be taken out casually.
He had already investigated Su Lingxi. She was just a rogue cultivator with no background who had suddenly appeared in the Glacial Snow Domain.
Her coming to the Snowfall Sect was purely out of luck in meeting Luo Chuxue.
Su Lingxi, on the other hand, was ecstatic. She hadn’t expected this mission to be so easy.
But she couldn’t show it so simply. What if the other party saw through her and refused to bet?
“Alright, this bet is very tempting. I’m sure Young Master Ye is a man of his word and will not go back on it.”
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng was taken aback. Could Su Lingxi really have one?
Even if she did, he had other plans to make Su Lingxi lose completely.
“Of course. I’m sure the item Young Master Su takes out will be extraordinary. Please take it out quickly and let us admire it.”
Su Lingxi, however, just smiled faintly. She pretended to casually look at her hand. “Hiss… my hand is a bit dry these two days…”
On her index finger was a purple spatial ring.
“A high-grade Profound-grade spatial ring?”
The disciple in charge’s eyelids twitched. He had worked here for many years and his eyes were already extremely sharp. He had only seen a spatial ring of this level in the hands of the elders.
“Of course, to convince our Young Master Ye, I have some other toys here.”
With a wave of her hand, Su Lingxi scattered a large pile of spiritual artifacts on the disciple in charge’s table. The casualness of it made outsiders think that Su Lingxi was packing up trash to throw away.
“These are…” The disciple in charge’s breath hitched, because the auras of these spiritual artifacts were all above the Profound-grade.
It was no exaggeration to say that he had seen more Profound-grade spiritual artifacts here than in the first half of his life.
The Ice Eagle Beast King was a sixth-tier spiritual beast, after all. The things in its cave couldn’t be junk.
So these things were at least Profound-grade.
Seeing the dazed looks of the people around her and that the atmosphere was just right, Su Lingxi casually picked up a low-grade Profound-grade shield.
She said with some disdain, “Oh? How did this spiritual artifact that I usually use to prop up the table get mixed in?”
“This is truly my negligence. I’ve made a fool of myself.” With that, Su Lingxi put away the shield.
“How about it, Young Master Ye?”
Su Lingxi’s expression as she looked at Ye Changsheng was a bit playful, and the surrounding disciples who were watching the show also fell silent.
The feeling Su Lingxi gave them could only be described with one word: “pretentious”!
Now, the initiative was back in Su Lingxi’s hands.
Ye Changsheng’s expression was indescribably wonderful, his face turning green and then purple. Even his usually well-trained gentleness almost broke at this moment.
“Hehe, Young Master Su has brought us many surprises.”
Ye Changsheng’s reply seemed calm, but anyone could hear that he was gritting his teeth.
“Then since that’s the case, the winner and loser have already been decided, right? Young Master Ye is gentle and elegant, so I’m sure you’re not someone who goes back on his word. What was that sword called again?”
“Hand it over. Although I don’t mind having another piece of junk, it’s not bad to be able to sell it for a little money.”
Looking at Su Lingxi’s outstretched hand, Ye Changsheng’s face turned the color of pig liver.
“Hehe, Young Master Su is speaking too soon. I’m afraid you don’t know the rules of this exchange.”
“What rules? I’m afraid Young Master Ye isn’t going back on his word and is trying to find an excuse to fob me off,” Su Lingxi asked warily.
Ye Changsheng, however, shook his head. “The rules of the exchange have existed since ancient times. When selling spiritual artifacts, one must clearly state the origin of the item to avoid unnecessary trouble for the sect.”
“You’ve taken out so many Profound-grade weapons at once. I admit defeat. But how did you get these things? Who knows?”
Hearing this, Su Lingxi knew that Ye Changsheng was trying to play dirty. “It’s none of your business how I got them. Just tell me if I took out the item or not.”
“Since it’s a rule, it must be followed. You’ve taken out so many spiritual artifacts that are inconsistent with your strength. How do you explain that?”
As soon as Ye Changsheng said this, many of the onlookers expressed their agreement.
“He’s just at the Golden Core realm. Where did he get so many high-grade spiritual artifacts? They must not have been obtained through proper means.”
As soon as this view was expressed, many people agreed. In fact, this was human nature. If they couldn’t have it, they would slander it.
“As far as I know, there are many treasure-robbing groups in the Glacial Snow Domain. These people are after the high-grade spiritual artifacts of cultivators.”
“You have so many spiritual artifacts. You must have some connection with those treasure-robbing groups.”
Ye Changsheng hadn’t wanted to do this, but seeing the public questioning the origin of Su Lingxi’s things, he didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire.
“That’s right, Young Master Ye is right. This kid must have some connection with the treasure-robbing groups.”
“Damn it, my cousin died in the Glacial Snow Domain just two days ago. When his body was found, all his treasures were gone, and there were obvious man-made marks on the wounds.”
Several powerful inner court disciples clearly had a great hatred for these treasure-robbing groups.
For a time, public opinion shifted back to Ye Changsheng’s side, and his brow relaxed.
Although Su Lingxi’s taking out the spiritual artifacts was a bit unexpected, he hadn’t expected that his nonsense would actually give him the upper hand in public opinion.
“Holy crap,” Su Lingxi couldn’t help but curse.
Are these people all fools? Why do they believe whatever he says?
