Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 195 Ye Fan Wants to Add a Bonus

Dan Daozi originally only wanted to be a quiet spectator and watch the younger generation's commotion, but he never expected that this juicy gossip would fall on him.

Without even thinking, he nodded and replied, "Okay!"

However, having spent many years navigating the martial world, how could Dan Daozi not know Ye Fan's ulterior motives?

It's obvious that Ye Fan was up to no good; otherwise, why would he have asked this high-ranking elder to be a witness?

He not only didn't feel any aversion to this, but actually found it quite interesting, since he hadn't "played and frolicked" with these younger generation members for a long time.

As expected, after receiving Dan Daozi's approval, Ye Fan's smile blossomed even brighter, like spring flowers in full bloom!

The reason he asked Dan Daozi to be a witness was twofold: firstly, to test whether the elder would show favoritism, since Ji Daoyi was supposed to call him Grandmaster Uncle.

Secondly, they wanted to see if Dan Daozi really harbored prejudice against Ji Daoyi, so that if they won the competition, they might be able to win his favor.

Thirdly, if they win and Ji Daoyi fails to keep his promise, his image in Dan Daozi's eyes will be greatly diminished.

As a result, Ye Fan's chances of joining the Pill Hall became increasingly slim, like a candle flickering in the wind!

For Ye Fan and his group, this was undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone: suppressing the newcomer and making a name for themselves in front of the elders!

Ye Fan slowly turned around, a faint smile on his face, his lips slightly upturned as he gazed at Ji Daoyi with a half-smile, and said, "Since we've decided to have a competition here, wouldn't it be utterly boring if there wasn't even a decent prize?"

"Are you suggesting that everyone around us think this so-called competition between us is just a game between children? Am I right, Cheng Ke'er?"

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Ji Daoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, showing no fear in his eyes. He remained calm and composed, replying in a measured tone, "Oh? Then, in your opinion, what kind of prize is needed?"

Ye Fan stared intently at Ji Daoyi's calm and composed face, his heart filled with disdain. "Hmph, pretend! Keep pretending. Once you lose the match, let's see how you'll have the face to stay in the Pill Hall!"

Actually, he didn't plan to bet too much at first, since the number of spirit stones he carried was quite limited.

However, it was precisely Ji Daoyi's calm and confident demeanor at that moment that deeply provoked Ye Fan, causing him to feel anger rising in his heart and evil thoughts to arise.

Therefore, Ye Fan decided to increase the prize money tenfold to dampen Ji Daoyi's arrogance.

He shouted, "Whoever loses has to obediently give the other party 500,000 shi!"

Before Ji Dao could even open his mouth, Cheng Ke'er, who was standing next to him, spoke up first: "What? Ye Fan! Are you out of your mind? How dare you say such a big thing? Can you even produce that many spirit stones?"

Ye Fan curled his lip in disdain and said lightly, "Hmph, it's just 500,000 yuan stones. Although I don't have that many yuan stones by myself, we can still scrape together enough for all of us. So you don't need to worry about our prize!"

At this moment, someone else chimed in, "That's right! With so many of us together, how could we not raise a mere 500,000 spirit stones? It's a joke!"

However, upon hearing this, Cheng Ke'er was so angry that her eyebrows shot up. She glared at Ye Fan and the others and shouted, "That's not what I meant! Stop trying to confuse us!"

"What I'm trying to say is, how could Dao Yi possibly have so many spirit stones! You all know this perfectly well, yet you still deliberately make things difficult for him. Isn't that bullying him?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan not only did not restrain himself, but laughed even more arrogantly. He said sarcastically, "Oh ho, could it be that you're so poor that you can't even come up with 500,000 yuan stones? That's alright, if you really don't have the money, you can always use something else as a wager!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ke'er was even more enraged. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You shameless bastards, you've gone too far! You know perfectly well that Dao Yi couldn't possibly have that many Yuan Stones, yet you're clearly trying to embarrass him and deliberately making things difficult for him!"

Just as Cheng Ke'er was furious, Ye Fan calmly dropped another bombshell: "Hehe, don't rush, I haven't finished explaining my conditions yet."

"If anyone loses this contest, not only will they have to obediently pay a prize of 500,000 shi (a unit of currency), but they'll also have to crawl between the winner's legs and shout 'I'm trash' three times in front of everyone! How about it, are you brave enough to accept this bet? Hahahaha..."

Ye Fan laughed loudly while looking at Ji Daoyi and Cheng Ke'er provocatively, his smug expression suggesting he had them completely under his control.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ke'er's face instantly darkened, and her beautiful eyes flashed with anger.

"Ye Fan, don't go too far! We'll be working together in the future, why make things so irreconcilable? Do you really want to make a huge scene before you stop?"

Ye Fan looked at Cheng Ke'er with a cold expression, a slight sneer playing on his lips: "Hmph, Cheng Ke'er, that's not how it works. You are indeed from the Pill Hall, but Ji Daoyi is not!"

"When did he ever become a disciple? And who can come forward to prove it? Does he think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can claim to be a disciple of our Pill Hall with some so-called Pill Hall disciple token? If that's the case, then our Pill Hall has become a dumping ground for those lowlifes!"

As Ye Fan spoke, he would occasionally glance at Elder Dan Daozi. Seeing that Elder Dan Daozi was not angry, the slight worry in his heart disappeared.

When Ji Dao saw Ye Fan's lack of discretion, he realized that this wasn't about increasing the prize money, but rather about putting him to death.

If he loses this competition, he will have no face to face his master and will have to leave Dancheng in disgrace.

Not only him, but even Cheng Ke'er saw through Ye Fan's thoughts.

Cheng Ke'er pulled Ji Daoyi aside and whispered, "Daoyi, why don't we stop competing? Winning or losing won't do you any good. If you stop now, you'll just lose face a little, and I'm sure your master won't blame you."

Ji Daoyi knew that Cheng Ke'er was saying this for his own good, but Ye Fan had already peed on him. If he didn't beat Ye Fan and the others into submission, they might shit on his head in the future.

"Ke'er, thank you for your help along the way. Don't worry about this matter, just watch from the sidelines."
