Chapter 531 - Chapter 531: Chapter 215 Ji Xiyues Purpose (2/2)

There is another thing.

It’s that Ji Xiyue seems very off.

Lin Jing always felt that she might have learned something.

Observing the look in Ji Xiyue’s eyes when she gazed at him, and that indescribable smile on her stunningly beautiful face…

Lin Jing even began to suspect that his identity as a descendant and heir of the Lin Family might have already been exposed.

……

After giving it some thought, Lin Jing found Ji Xiyue’s method for the challenge to actually be quite suitable.

If she really had discovered his identity, there was no way he could avoid it.

He might as well agree to it directly, and also take the opportunity to probe her true intentions.

Lin Jing then nodded and said,

“Very well…”

“I accept this challenge!”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s response, Ji Xiyue’s eyes crinkled at the corners, and she laughed…

When Ji Xiyue laughed, she looked even more beautiful.

However, with his guard fully raised now, Lin Jing was unclear about this woman’s motives,

and naturally had no heart to appreciate her beauty.

Continuing on, Ji Xiyue spoke again,

“Good…”

“Since Lin Daoyou has agreed, we naturally need to discuss the matter of the stakes…”

After speaking, Ji Xiyue turned to Lin Jing and directly asked,

“I’m just not sure what Lin Daoyou would want for the stakes – the Peerless Elixir Manual, divine weapons, or some rare and extraordinary treasure?”

“As long as Lin Daoyou states it, no matter what it is, I will do my best to satisfy your demands, even if Lin Daoyou wishes to become the Offering Priest Elder of the Elixir Hall of the Xingluo Elixir Sect, it’s not out of the question…”

On hearing Ji Xiyue’s generous offer, Lin Jing’s brow furrowed even more deeply.

Just a small competition, yet she was giving away such considerable conditions; it was simply too unreasonable.

Lin Jing then looked at Ji Xiyue, who still wore that same smiling expression, her eyes brimming with laughter as she looked at him.

“Could this competition in fact be a trap?” Lin Jing couldn’t help pondering…

A moment later, Lin Jing looked at Ji Xiyue and directly asked,

“The stakes Ji Daoyou is offering are so significant, it’s somewhat difficult for me to decide. I’d like to know, what price would I need to pay if I were the one to lose?”

Ji Xiyue looked at Lin Jing and said,

“What I want is actually quite simple…”

“If I win, all I need is for Lin Daoyou to answer a single question for me.”

“Just one question?” Lin Jing asked in disbelief after hearing this.

“Yes…” Ji Xiyue looked at Lin Jing and nodded.

“What would that question be?” Lin Jing asked directly.

Ji Xiyue spoke again, this time with a serious expression, saying to Lin Jing,

“Lin Daoyou…”

“Are you the descendant of an Ancient Alchemy Path family?”

“You just need to answer this question for me.”

As expected, Ji Xiyue had her suspicions about him and had come prepared.

She must have begun to suspect him when Lin Jue successfully produced the Elixir Medicine, only she wasn’t quite sure.

Therefore,

She had proposed this competition as a way to confirm Lin Jing’s identity.

And now that the situation had progressed to this point with Ji Xiyue revealing her purpose,

even if Lin Jing were to suggest giving up the competition now, it would no longer be meaningful.

Because the very proposition of this competition was a trap in itself. If Lin Jing were to suggest giving up now, it would only further confirm Ji Xiyue’s speculations.

Furthermore,

it seemed that the outcome of the competition was not so important anymore.
