Chapter 38: Admitting Defeat

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The young girl immediately became anxious.

One had to know that this pill was very important to her. If she could not get it, wouldn’t her cultivation be… As for the pills, they clearly saw Jiang Yu had them. He probably didn’t want to sell it to them.

“Jiang Yu, this pill is really important to my cultivation. I don’t care how much money you want, as long as you can sell it to us.”

They had looked for too many people, but none of them had any medicinal pills. Now, Jiang Yu was their only life-saving straw.

“But I really don’t have it.” Jiang Yu replied calmly, “I don’t know where you got the news from. If you misunderstood me because of the pill I took last time, I’ll apologize in advance. The pill I took last time was also the last one I had.”

Yao ‘er was speechless.

Was that so? Then what should they do?

Seeing this, Old Man Yang also started to speak up for Jiang Yu. “That’s right. The medicinal pill from last time is already the last one in his hands. He can’t give it to me even if he wants to.”

Old Master Yang knew that Jiang Yu had a lot of them in his hands, but it was his freedom to sell them or not. He had no right to interfere.

However, he was a little curious. Since Jiang Yu had the pills, why didn’t he sell them? He could obviously make a lot of money with this opportunity.

Seeing this, Yao ‘er could only compromise temporarily. The world was so big, there would always be a place where she could find some.

After this matter was over, Yao ‘Er and Master Lu were not in a hurry to leave. They had another purpose for coming here.

[Host, there’s a new mission.]

‘Speak,’ Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.

The mission was probably related to the two people in front of him. Otherwise, the system could have told him after they left.

[You need to compete with Yao ‘er. If you win, you will get a practice wooden sword. If you lose, you will get an ancient forged ancient sword.]

So it was a competition.

Right at the same time, Yao ‘er came in front of him and said arrogantly, “I want to compete with you!”

It turned out that there was a reason why they didn’t leave.

Jiang Yu was still vexed over what excuse he should use to issue a challenge to the young girl, but now, she had saved himself the trouble.

However, what made him even more curious was, why did the young girl want to compete with him?

He didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he asked, “What’s there to compete with me for? I’m just an ordinary person. If you have the time to compete with me, why don’t you go cultivate instead?”

“I don’t care! Or what? Are you scared to go against me? If you refuse, I’ll take it that you’re a coward!”

A coward? There was no such thing. If they were to really compare, this young girl was not his match at all.

The system also seized the opportunity to explain, [Host, Yao ‘er’s cultivation is much weaker than yours. You will win this competition!]

It was good that he could win, but unfortunately, the reward was not attractive at all.

If he won, he would only be given a wooden practice sword. Who would want to win?

It just so happened that he did not want to expose his true strength in front of outsiders.

Therefore, Jiang Yu shrugged. “You’re right. I really don’t dare to. I admit defeat.”

The system was speechless.

Yao ‘er was speechless.

Master Lu was speechless.

The battle hadn’t even started yet. Wasn’t he admitting defeat too quickly?!

[Host, you don’t have to do this…]

The system did not know what to say, but according to the agreement, it gave him the ancient forged sword.

Now, its host was really in a bad state.

Jiang Yu was very satisfied with his reward. He smiled at Yao ‘er and said, “Now that the competition is over and you have won, you can leave now.”

However, Yao ‘er’s expression became uglier and uglier.

This was the first time someone dared to reject her challenge.

The other party seemed to have admitted defeat so easily because he did not want to compete with her at all. To put it bluntly, he was looking down on her!

“Stop right there!”

Yao ‘er rushed forward and attacked Jiang Yu, “How can you be a man if you admit defeat before the competition has even started?! You truly are a coward!”

Anyone who heard this would be furious.

However, the person opposite her was Jiang Yu, so he wouldn’t get angry so easily.

Sensing the killing intent behind him, Jiang Yu slightly dodged the attack.

“Miss, I’ve already admitted defeat. There’s no need for you to continue pestering me.”

He couldn’t make a move. If he did, his foundation would be exposed.

However, Yao ‘er was not prepared to give up and continued to attack.

As Jiang Yu thought about it, he might as well just enter the manor and leave them outside.

But this time, Old Master Yang took the blow for him.

“Miss, the Young Master doesn’t want to compete with you, so why are you bothering him?”

Compared to Old Master Yang, Yao ‘er’s cultivation was still a little inferior. She was pushed back a few steps. In the end, it was Master Lu who caught her to soften her fall.

“I want to compete with him. Why are you interfering?”

It was normal for a young girl to say such rude things.

“Elder Yang, please send the guests off. I’ll go back and rest first. I’m very tired today.”

Jiang Yu didn’t intend to waste any more time on unimportant people.

Old Master Yang nodded and blocked the entrance of the manor.

“Stop right there!”

Yao ‘er stomped her feet angrily, but this time, Master Lu stopped her. “Since Mr. Jiang doesn’t want to compete, we’ll visit again next time.”

“Master!”

Yao ‘er did not expect him to say this, but in the end, she still left with him, albeit unwillingly.

Seeing this, Old Master Yang heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the villa.

At this time, Jiang Yu hadn’t gone far. He hurriedly chased after him and asked, “Young Master, you have so many pills. Why don’t you sell some to them? This way, you can also take the opportunity to raise the price…”

Old Master Yang suddenly shut his mouth.

How could he forget that the young master’s family was not short of money? Compared to money, these pills were probably more valuable.

“Do you think I look like I lack money?”

Jiang Yu’s expression suddenly turned cold, “There are many people secretly eyeing the pill now. If I sell them, there will be forces coming to find me very soon and I don’t want to be involved.”

Old Master Yang nodded quickly and suddenly felt even more regretful.

Jiang Yu had money and pills. Wasn’t he much better than Chairman Wang? Why didn’t he meet Jiang Yu earlier?

Recalling what he had done previously, Old Master Yang only hoped that Jiang Yu wouldn’t be too calculative.

Moreover, he had to do more for him.

“Young Master, I understand. I will never tell anyone about the pill in the future.” He had just arrived, so he had to show his loyalty.

Meanwhile, Yao ‘er was taken away and followed behind Master Lu reluctantly.

“Master, why did you stop me? I just want to have a competition with him but look at him, he doesn’t even agree to it! I can’t even test his strength.”

They wouldn’t be able to understand Jiang Yu like this.

However, Master Lu shook his head solemnly. “There’s no need. Remember to be respectful when you see him in the future.”

This man was not someone they could afford to offend.

Although he looked to be in his twenties, his potential was already very obvious. They must not become enemies with this person.

When Yao ‘er heard this, she became even more reluctant, “Master, Why? He has already admitted defeat, so why should I respect him?”

She didn’t think highly of him.
