"Okay." Yue Fanling looked into Mu Hanyan's bright eyes, unable to find the words to refuse. But in her heart, she thought, it doesn't matter. If Hanyan loses and wants Ice Heart Grass or Green Bamboo Vine or something, she can just get it for her. She didn't think the guards Hanyan chose could beat Mu Cheng's guards.
"But, Mu Cheng, you're being a bit wishful. Since we want to make a bet, of course both parties should offer a prize." Mu Hanyan looked at Mu Cheng with a half-smile, "What can you offer as a prize?"
"You haven't either..." Mu Cheng's face turned cold and he said unhappily.
"Stop, what belongs to my mother is mine. What's the matter? Are you envious and jealous because you don't have the city lord's wife as your mother? If you have something bad to offer, you can go home and ask your parents for it." Mu Hanyan raised an eyebrow, with a typical dandy face, looking like he really deserves a beating.
Mu Cheng was practically choked by these words. Why hadn't Mu Hanyan played by the rules today? In the past, when he'd been ridiculed as a loser who relied on his family for everything, he'd always retorted and tried to do something to disprove it. But why was he acting so confident and self-righteous today? And envious, jealous, and resentful? Actually, it really was... envious, jealous, and resentful. As the City Lord and his wife, they naturally possessed far more resources than their branch families. That was why his father was trying so hard to get the City Lord's seat!
"Who said I don't have any goodies? This 300-year-old purple flower vine is a rare medicinal herb. If your guard wins, it's yours!" Mu Cheng stiffened his neck and pulled a light purple vine from his bag. The vine was only as long as an index finger, and its surface was incredibly smooth, like a piece of jade. This was one of the key herbs that Mu Cheng's family was preparing to make a strength-enhancing elixir. Unexpectedly, Mu Hanyan had prodded him to bring it out. This was something his family had spent considerable effort and money to acquire.
Mu Hanyan naturally knew how rare this thing was, but how could she be worthy of her conscience if she didn't cheat Mu Cheng, that little bastard, a little more?
"Mine is a 500-year-old Ice Heart Grass, and yours is a 300-year-old Purple Flower Vine. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one at a loss! This won't do. We have to be fair and just." Mu Hanyan said, shaking her head.
Mu Cheng sneered. What an ignorant fool! In terms of value, the Purple Flower Vine far surpassed the Ice Heart Grass. Even a three-hundred-year-old Purple Flower Vine was worth far more than a five-hundred-year-old Ice Heart Grass. Idiot, I'm an idiot! But forget it, he didn't want to waste time talking to this idiot. Anyway, his own guards would beat the crap out of Mu Hanyan's weaklings soon. Even if he took out something else, wouldn't he be able to return the jade intact?
Mu Cheng thought about this and naturally took out another herb without any worries. This herb was the seven-leaf flower. Although it was only two hundred years old, its value was no less than that of the purple flower vine.
Mu Hanyan frowned and looked at him with disdain before saying, "Oh, forget it, let's just make do with this. I know your family isn't as wealthy as ours, so it's good enough that you can come up with this. Let's use this as a prize. Whoever wins gets it all."
Idiot! Seeing Mu Hanyan's disgusted look, Mu Cheng cursed in his heart. But after hearing the next words, he felt terrible. Mu Cheng looked at Mu Hanyan with gritted teeth. What did he mean by their family was not as rich as Mu Hanyan's? Bah, this dandy idiot who only knew how to compare family status! What's so great about him... Oh, it's really a bit remarkable, otherwise why would their family go to so much trouble to make his father the city lord.
