“Since Miss Liu knows about best-of-three, do you know which round we are in now?” Shen Chengye looked at Liu Zhaodi quietly.

"Second sister, we've already played two rounds!"

Liu Xiuran ran over and whispered an explanation in Liu Zhaodi's ear, then added, "Forget it, our Liu family won't get involved in this mess. We can't beat them anyway!"

"Only two rounds?" Liu Zhaodi frowned.

The two sides in the bet each send two people to fight three rounds. The first two rounds are one-on-one battles. If the outcome is still undecided, the third round is a free-for-all between the two sides.

In other words, they missed two rounds, which means that winning two out of three rounds is now a pipe dream!

"Alright, go back and wash up and go to sleep! Your Liu family has its own bottom line and principles, so let our two families do this dirty work!" Shen Chengye said sarcastically.

"Since you're already here, then watch from the sidelines and see who will be the ultimate winner between our two families!" Ji Kai said with a calm smile.

"Zhao Di, come back! They all have young experts at the ninth level fighting, you can't win!" Liu Hongyuan was quite optimistic. Although the Holy Spirit Stone in Chen Xinghuai's hands was very tempting to him, it was not enough to make his Liu family fight to the death.

"Damn it!" Liu Zhaodi stomped her foot and walked back to Jiang Yuan. "We can't fight anymore, they've already played two matches!"

“That’s not necessarily true!” Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"What's your idea?" Liu Zhaodi seemed to have found her pillar of support, and she looked extremely happy.

"Best of three rounds, they only won one game, while we can tie with them if we win one game!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

“Even if we all win, those two families can fight again, and they’ll definitely win both matches!” Liu Zhaodi bit her lip, not understanding Jiang Yuan’s meaning.

"So, in our final match, we'll challenge both of them and fight until they withdraw, then we'll be even, right?" Jiang Yuan's face, hidden behind the assassin's mask, wore an arrogant smile.

"Fight until you withdraw from the competition!" Liu Zhaodi's heart tightened.

Just as Liu Zhaodi was looking forward to Jiang Yuan showing off his skills, Jiang Yuan said directly: "Of course, the task of defeating the opponent and forcing them to withdraw from the competition is entrusted to you. After all, I am only a small seventh-level player. I can't handle an eighth-level and a ninth-level opponent!"

Liu Zhaodi: "..."

"What an arrogant brat!" Ji Kaiping couldn't help but take another look at Jiang Yuan.

"Young people these days are so impetuous and arrogant!" Shen Chengye didn't take Jiang Yuan seriously at all. As the saying goes, perspective determines vision. He had seen too many people like Jiang Yuan who made wild claims and tried to attract attention.

"Zhao Di, who is he?" Liu Hongyuan also noticed the newcomer.

"I..." Liu Zhaodi glanced back at Jiang Yuan, and finally stammered, "My boyfriend!"

After speaking, Liu Zhaodi cautiously glanced at Jiang Yuan's expression, and only felt relieved after confirming that he had no objections.

"Your boyfriend?" Liu Hongyuan's expression tightened, and he rushed towards Jiang Yuan in three quick steps.

"Hey, Dad, what are you doing? Don't scare him!" Liu Zhaodi moved sideways and stood between the two of them.

Liu Hongyuan said angrily, "Zhaodi, have you been deceived? This person is only at the seventh level. Every boy who is pursuing you is stronger than a seventh-level!"

"Besides, I haven't heard you mention this in the past few days. Where did you get a boyfriend from?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhaodi felt inexplicably angry. She decided to steel herself and said, "Is that so? Then you must be mistaken. It wasn't a few days ago, it was a few years ago. Because you never care about my daily life. You only make me learn this and that, compare this and that. Of course, you never hear me mention those things to you!"

"Zhao Di, you!" Liu Hongyuan was so angry that he could barely speak.

"Never mind my business, my boyfriend and I are going to participate in the betting competition!" Liu Zhaodi turned around and took Jiang Yuan's arm.

"Miss Liu, I think we've made ourselves quite clear! Even if you participate, you have no chance of winning. Don't waste your time on something so meaningless!" Shen Chengye said coldly.

"Let's make a bet! My Liu family will take on your Ji and Chen families!"

As soon as Liu Zhaodi uttered her words, she was met with a barrage of ridicule.

"Liu Zhaodi, I remember you just broke through to the ninth rank last night, right? What gives you the audacity to fight against our two sects?"

"Perhaps they're used to being arrogant, after all, who would dare to disregard the second young lady of the Liu family!"

A man and a woman were talking in harmony.

"Wei Ting, you really don't consider yourself an outsider as a relative of the Shen family. What, did you take the surname Shen?" Liu Zhaodi sneered.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Wei Ting, and Tianyan immediately provided the data.

Human (High-level Stone Spirit Bloodline), Ninth-order Strength type, Strength: 537, Talent: Advanced Petrification.

Jiang Yuan had encountered petrification several times. This talent wasn't just limited to the beginner level; there were also intermediate and advanced levels. Clearly, Wei Ting possessed the advanced level of petrification, which was already an incredibly terrifying ability.

Nearly a month has passed since the disaster, and true talent will always shine through. People with great abilities are beginning to stand out in various cities, so Jiang Yuan is not surprised.

Wei Ting possesses terrifying stats, but the woman beside him is rather meager. She is also a single-elemental being, but her energy level is only around 360 points. However, her abilities are still quite good, possessing a support-type skill that leans towards control.

"That man is Wei Ting!" Liu Zhaodi seemed to sense Jiang Yuan's gaze, so she lowered her voice to explain to him, "He is the nephew of the Shen family patriarch, and he is far superior to that good-for-nothing young master of the Shen family. He is already showing signs of changing his surname and is destined to be a member of the Shen family in the future!"

"And that woman, her name is Shen Qian, the second young lady of the Shen family, she's been at odds with me since we were kids!"

Jiang Yuan was not surprised by the two men's abilities, but he was slightly surprised when he turned to the two men from the Ji family.
