Chu Mo was extremely anxious and hurriedly used his divine sense to dissuade him:
"Xiao Xian, stop immediately. Brother Chu will find another way to use the Water Spirit Stone."
But Ji Xiaoxian remained exceptionally determined, showing no sign of giving up:
"Brother Chu... I can do it!"
As for Ji Shouxin, he was extremely anxious and roared furiously:
"Ji Xiaoxian, are you crazy? Stop this move right now and admit defeat!"
Compared to water spirit stones, a talented Ji Xiaoxian is clearly more valuable to the main branch of the family.
Moreover, although he was a womanizer and fickle, this was still his bloodline, and he still had some paternal affection for his child.
Even many of the Ji family's high-ranking members who were watching tried to dissuade her, but Ji Xiaoxian was stubborn and wouldn't listen.
This seemingly well-behaved girl displayed a stubbornness that was completely opposite to her appearance.
As her opponent, Ji Pengfei was flustered, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.
"Ji Xiaoxian, you're a madwoman! Do you want to die together with me?"
He was helpless; in his current state, unless he also used this move, he simply couldn't defend against it.
But if he were to use this trick, his foundation would surely be damaged and his future ruined!
A once brilliant genius will perish halfway through his life.
This is a price he cannot afford!
But he was equally unwilling to admit defeat!
This is no longer just a matter of losing the right to use the Water Spirit Stone; it means he will be labeled as a coward and seen as someone who is afraid of death.
This was unacceptable to him, who was very concerned about his image.
At that moment, time seemed to stretch on endlessly for him.
His expression shifted constantly, his heart filled with anger and inner turmoil.
Compared to the path to enlightenment, the right to use the Water Spirit Stone is actually not that important.
Although I often carry it with me, it is of great help to my cultivation.
However, if he cannot awaken the innate water spirit body, none of this matters. He has plenty of treasures that can provide similar effects.
Twenty years have passed, but he has shown no signs of awakening his Dao body, and he has actually given up hope.
The reason they still fight so hard is simply to hope for that sliver of luck.
But now, should I really ruin my future for that sliver of a possibility?
The answer is naturally no!
But being forced to admit defeat by Ji Xiaoxian was something he found hard to accept.
Between saving face and future prospects, he had already chosen the latter, but he couldn't let go of the latter for the time being.
As if sensing his dilemma, Ji Chengdao shouted helplessly:
"Pengfei, admit defeat. Don't put yourself and your cousin in danger."
By saying this, he had already saved face for Ji Pengfei to the greatest extent possible.
He dared not fight to the death, yet he was too ashamed to admit defeat; what he needed was a way out.
As Ji Pengfei's grandfather and the head of the Ji family, his words undoubtedly resolved the current stalemate perfectly.
And he saved two exceptionally talented young prodigies from the Ji family.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ji Pengfei breathed a sigh of relief and shouted:
"Ji Xiaoxian, since Grandpa has given the order, I'll give you this Water Spirit Hidden Stone. I admit defeat."
"But you should know that I'm not less skilled than you, nor am I afraid of you!"
"I just don't want to suffer losses with you and cause damage to the Ji family."
These words were spoken in a grand and dignified manner, which immediately earned the admiration of many young people in the Ji family.
But his heart was already burning with rage, and he wished he could kill Ji Xiaoxian on the spot.
The moment he uttered the words of surrender, Ji Chengdao waved his hand, and a mysterious power immediately enveloped Ji Xiaoxian.
The spiritual energy within her body, which had been on the verge of collapse, instantly returned to calm.
The girl relaxed and collapsed softly to the ground.
However, with Ji Chengdao's strength supporting him, he did not fall directly to the ground.
This final battle ended with Ji Pengfei's surrender.
No one expected that Ji Xiaoxian would force her opponent to win the battle with such a desperate attitude.
But no one thought her victory was just a fluke.
Because no matter who it was, they probably wouldn't have had her courage and determination.
Similarly, if they were her opponents, and even possessed the same strength as Ji Pengfei, the outcome would inevitably be the same.
No one could be as willing to risk everything for victory as she was.
At this moment, Jiang Youwei couldn't help but sigh slightly and sincerely praised:
"This little girl is quite good. Not only is she talented, but she also has a firm and decisive character. Her future achievements will definitely be remarkable."
After speaking, she looked earnestly at Chu Mo with her beautiful eyes and softly instructed him:
"Junior brother, this girl is willing to risk everything for you. You absolutely cannot let her down, do you hear me?"
Chu Mo smiled wryly: "Senior sister, what do you mean by 'we can't let you down'?"
Jiang Youwei glared at him fiercely and snorted coldly:
"Stop pretending. You've hooked up with so many girls, can't you see how they feel about you?"
"Senior sister, she just wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, not what you're describing."
Chu Mo couldn't help but feel annoyed.
What's going on? He already has enough women, and his senior sister still wants to play matchmaker for him?
Unfortunately, Jiang Youwei didn't believe his explanation at all.
A knowing look flashed across her stunningly beautiful face.
"Hmph, do you even believe that yourself?"
"Senior Sister!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Jiang Youwei looked at him curiously with her beautiful eyes.
"If one day I am in mortal danger, would you be willing to risk everything to save me?"
