Chapter 151 ended quite quickly.
"This……"
Tao Tao's request wasn't difficult, but the problem was that Li Qian wasn't sure what Tao Tao wanted. Since she wanted Tao Tao to lose to her, she naturally acknowledged Tao Tao's strength. But that's precisely why she wasn't sure what she had that Tao Tao would be interested in.
"Since you proposed a trade, didn't you consider this issue from the beginning? Or do you think I would want some spirit stones, pills, and magic tools?"
"Aren't these exactly what my junior sister needs right now?"
Generally speaking, cultivators of their level only need these things; there's no reason for them to need anything else. Spirit stones are the foundation; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to buy what they want.
"I have no shortage of spirit stones and pills, I only want one thing from my senior sister."
"what?"
Since Tao Tao had said that, Li Qian became even more curious. If she didn't even want spirit stones and pills, what was it that could tempt her?
"A cardamom." Just after Li Qian made her suggestion, Bai Yan glanced at Li Qian's storage bracelet. With his White Eye cultivation, Li Qian's storage bracelet would be clearly visible. There weren't many good items, and the amount of spirit stones was actually average, at least not worth losing this round to Tao Tao. However, when he searched, he unexpectedly found a cardamom.
It's likely that Li Qian had no idea what great use this bean was, and simply treated it like an ordinary bean, leaving it aside without a second thought.
Even Tao Tao questioned Bai Yan's offer to exchange the bean, wondering why there was any need to exchange a single bean.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yan said that obtaining this item would be of great help to her, and that she should get her hands on it first and then explain later, and then he stopped talking.
Since Bai Yan thought it would be useful, Tao Tao naturally wouldn't refuse, so she brought it up.
Li Qian took out the bean with a puzzled look, held it in her palm, and asked in surprise, "Is it this one?"
“That’s right.” Tao Tao nodded, his tone certain. This made Li Qian even more convinced that this bean was not simple. She was hesitant about whether to exchange it with him. As if seeing her hesitation, Tao Tao said directly, “If Senior Sister is not willing, then forget it. You can find someone else to trade with, but then it will not be as simple as just a bean.”
That's true, and besides, not many people would agree with it, since Tao Tao doesn't think she'll lose the first match, and losing to Li Qian in the next match won't make a difference.
"Alright, it's settled then. I hope you won't go back on your word, Junior Sister."
"That's natural."
Tao Tao is not the type to go back on his word; once he's made a promise, he'll naturally keep it.
But just as she finished speaking, it was Tao Tao's turn to play the next match. Unsurprisingly, her opponent was Ye Shu. Only then did Tao Tao realize why Li Qian had asked her to give her assurances repeatedly. She guessed that Li Qian was afraid that if Tao Tao lost to Ye Shu, she wouldn't want to lose another match.
"Junior sister, remember what you just said. You won't go back on your word no matter what," Li Qian reminded her again. She was afraid that Tao Tao would immediately turn back if she saw that her opponent was Ye Shu. But Tao Tao said, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word since I promised."
As Tao Tao spoke, she got up and walked towards the arena. Watching her departing figure, a man walked up to Li Qian and asked, "Is she reliable? Her opponent is a young lady from the Ye family. If she loses this match and then loses to you, she will basically be saying goodbye to the martial arts tournament."
Li Qian was also particularly worried, and said somewhat helplessly, "How would I know? I just hope she can keep her promise. By the way, Senior Brother Ma, have you found someone willing to make the deal?"
“I’m not as lucky as you. Not only were I rejected by everyone, but I was also ridiculed. In short, one of us has to make it into the top ten. Junior sister, it’s up to you.” The man patted Li Qian’s shoulder, putting all the pressure on her. Li Qian was also helpless. She smiled bitterly and said, “Master really thinks too highly of us. He doesn’t even realize that there are so many experts this time. Let alone the top ten, it would be good if we could even make it into the top thirty.”
Ye Shu had arrived at the arena early. She was watching Tao Tao slowly walk over with interest, and waved casually, "What a coincidence, we've met again."
The scene immediately erupted in excitement. Miss Ye's strength was beyond question, and Tao Tao was a rising star who had attracted much attention after entering the Class A arena. They were very curious about who would win in their fight.
Even several elders of the Ye family and Ye Lan came to watch. When Ye Zhenlin saw that Ye Shu's opponent was Tao Tao, he was quite surprised. "I've met this girl before. She's very clever. If Shu'er doesn't take her seriously, she might suffer a loss."
Ye Xiling, standing to the side, said, "So what if she's clever? Our Shu'er has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and she's been carefully nurtured by me. There's no reason for her to lose to a little girl."
"That's hard to say." Ye Xiling was quite surprised that Ye Zhenlin actually thought highly of Tao Tao. What kind of ability could a little girl who looked so ordinary have?
"Brother, you're overthinking it."
While the two of them were arguing, Ye Lan's attention was focused on Tao Tao. Compared to before, she felt that Tao Tao seemed to have changed again. How could his strength have improved so much in such a short time? Impossible. Even if the Immortal Spirit Valley doted on this disciple, they were still no match for the Ye family. Besides, Tao Tao wasn't someone with exceptionally high talent, so there was no reason for him to make such rapid progress.
She wanted to see just how much progress Tao Tao had made.
Just then, Ye Shu suddenly sent a telepathic message to Tao Tao, saying sarcastically, "In order to prevent you from losing so badly, I advise you to leave the stage on your own. At least you'll save face for yourself."
Ye Shu was indeed bold, thinking she had won, so she recklessly provoked Tao Tao. However, Tao Tao completely ignored her and turned a deaf ear to her words.
Upon hearing the words "The duel begins" emanating from above, Tao Tao's eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up. In an instant, he swiftly approached Ye Shu like a whirlwind.
Her speed was so fast that most of the onlookers didn't even have time to react. When they looked again, Ye Shu was already seriously injured and lying on the ground. Many people didn't even see how she made her move.
This scene left many people speechless, especially Ye Xiling, who was shocked and asked, "What happened? She cheated!?"
"There are no rules in the battle of immortality. Your so-called cheating is just Shu'er being careless." Ye Zhenlin said calmly, his interest in Tao Tao also piqued. Although the Ye family is a prestigious family, it will not reject people with different surnames. As long as they are loyal, the Ye family will naturally treat them well.
Ye Lan's expression was not good. She was first surprised, then confused, and finally filled with hatred. She never expected that Tao Tao would improve so quickly and defeat Ye Shu in an instant. She didn't even see how Tao Tao made his move.
The duel ended quite quickly, and Tao Tao was decisive. In fact, if Ye Shu hadn't deliberately provoked her before the duel, she would have pretended to be weak in order to hide her strength and prolong the duel. However, Ye Shu insisted on walking into the line of fire, and coupled with the grudges with the Ye family, Tao Tao showed no mercy whatsoever.
From the audience, a cold gaze swept over. Tao Tao looked up and saw Ye Lan. The hatred in her eyes was impossible to hide. In front of everyone, she transmitted her voice to Tao Tao, her tone extremely arrogant, "I hope you can be just as calm when you fight me."
Tao Tao naturally didn't give her a friendly look either, and replied with a light laugh, "You too."
"Lan'er, what's wrong?" Noticing that Ye Lan's expression was off, Ye Zhenlin looked concerned. Ye Lan shook her head slightly, "Nothing, Father. What do you think of Letaotao?"
"The future is promising. You should spend more time with her. Our Ye family never rejects people with talent."
"Father, what do you mean? No, she's not suitable for our Ye family. She's just a transformed demon beast. Which of our Ye family's descendants isn't stronger than her? Shuer underestimated her, but I won't."
There's another martial arts competition coming up, and she has to suppress Tao Tao's arrogance in this competition so that he has no chance of standing out, and she can't let Ye Zhenlin try to bring Tao Tao into the Ye family.
