"Junior brother Xuanyan, since Mother asked us to compete, we might as well make it interesting. How about adding a wager? Otherwise this duel would be rather meaningless."
"Hehehe." Xuanyan chuckled. "Senior sister, aren't you being a little shameless right now? Challenging your junior brother who has never even refined a Gu before. Still… I suppose I can accept this unfair match, as long as the wager is interesting enough."
Yanmei felt even more confident when she heard that. After all, she had spent years assisting in alchemy and practicing refinement under Mei Lingyao's guidance. Against someone who had never refined a Gu before, how could she possibly lose?
"Then don't go back on your words. Mother will be the witness for our bet," she said confidently. "As for the wager… you may ask anything from me. As long as it is something I possess, I will give it to you. But if I win, you must follow several special rules set by me."
