With her eyes closed, sipping tea leisurely not far away, Yu Yao spoke softly, "Yuchi, how long are you going to discuss this? It's just a little martial arts competition for marriage, right? As Bu Tingyue's cousin from the Celestial Craft Workshop, can't you even make a decision on this?"

Yuchi gave a reassuring glance to the somewhat anxious Bu Tingyue and then approached Yu Yao. Looking at Yu Yao, who was slowly opening her eyes, he smiled and said:

"Of course, I can agree to it, but I still care about you. After all, we may be strangers, but if you say you're losing a million silver to me, wouldn't that be hard to explain to your family?"

Oh, quite gentle, huh? Considering my situation too? Yu Yao chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just a million silver. Do you know the profits from Cuncha? For us, a million silver is just the annual profit from Cuncha City, and how long has our family been around?"

"So, a million is right here. If you have the ability, come and take it. And of course, it's not just this million in silver, but also a chance at being with me. You can genuinely have me, knowing I've learned many things, quite diversely, and having a Courtesan mother as my master, you should know what I'm getting at."

Yuchi burst into laughter:

"Since you put it that way, if I refuse, it would seem unmanly, wouldn't it? As for the million silver, if I take it, I take it, but as for you, I don't want you. I prefer living alone, so if I take the million, I'll be leaving Cuncha City. I'm here this time just to pay a visit to Bu Tingyue and to handle some other business."

Yu Yao was instantly displeased: "Are you looking down on me!"

Good gracious, what do you mean by just taking the million and that's it? Does it mean I'm not even worth the million? Now I'm really not convinced. In my family, I hold considerable influence, with many tea-selling channels of my own, and I've generated far more than a million in silver and gold trade for my family. Taking me would be like having a money vault!

You don't want me, you want the million?!

"Then add another million." Yuchi blinked his adorably big eyes, "So, altogether it's two million silver. How about that, Yu Yao?"

Yu Yao: "???"

Others ask for the sky, but you're asking for everything?

"Haha, I'm quite outstanding myself. Let's not even talk about my business or the forces behind me, that's certainly value for money. In other words, if you beat me, all my business is yours, not just a million, but possibly tens of millions wouldn't be a problem."

Ascension Gate, Immortal Robe Pavilion, just the combination of these two is beyond claiming with just a million. Merely Ascension Gate has had Yuchi invest a lot of silver and gold.

Bu Tingyue now roughly understood Yuchi's meaning. Yuchi was likely following what she had said, knowing such things are very dangerous. Yet, after outright refusing, neither side could back down gracefully. So, since Yu Yao claimed a million silver was no issue, let's see her reaction to two million!

Haha.

Not bad, Yuchi is quite smart!

Thus, Bu Tingyue deliberately said, "Hey, Yu Yao, why don't we just call it off? After all, you might not be able to produce that much silver and gold."

"But what Yuchi said is quite reasonable. If I were you, I'd definitely just produce two million silver."

"You don't know that Yuchi has a lot of business and is secretly a main pillar of our Celestial Craft Workshop. So if you can win over Yuchi, what is two million anyway?"

"In just one night, you could obtain hundreds of millions of things from Yuchi."

Yuchi: "???"

Is Bu Tingyue flying a plane? How did it suddenly turn into this? Hundreds of millions? What on earth.

Gritting her teeth, Yu Yao blushed intensely: "Fine, isn't it just two million silver? Wait for me, I'll fetch it now!"

Yuchi nodded: "Don't let anyone in your family know; this is something between us two."

"But you must promise me, once I bring out this silver and gold, we'll go to the martial arts contest immediately, or I'll never respect you again!"

"Of course."

"Deal!"

Yu Yao burst through the door and left.

Leaving Yuchi and Bu Tingyue in the room, Bu Tingyue was visibly shocked, not expecting Yu Yao to actually go get the money!? Is she really serious?

"Yuchi, are you really okay with this?"

"No problem at all."

Yuchi smiled, "I'm the young master of the sect; although I don't have a spirit root nor any spiritual qi, I've consumed quite a few elixirs, so my body's strength is considerable. In a pure contest like this, I'm not about to lose to her."

"Really..."

"Yes, that's the case. But the question remains: if I take her two million, will she be okay? After all, if she suddenly loses two million, could she become extremely distraught?"
