"This guy, he's using the same trick again, isn't he?" Ji Lingchen sneered as he heard Ye Qiu's response. "Wanting a reward before making a move—this Ye Qiu really embodies the behavior of someone from a humble background, always trying to squeeze out some benefit in everything he does."
"Young master, then should we..."
Ji Lingchen snorted coldly. "Satisfy him. He wants a reward? We'll give it to him. And not just any reward—we'll make it grand, so much so that he can look but not touch."
"Exactly. With your skills, young master, Ye Qiu only has one possible outcome: failure. Even if we give him a reward, he won't be able to take it." Someone standing beside Ji Lingchen echoed his sentiment.
...
The conditions for this duel were set, with Ji Lingchen offering five Grade-One Crystal Stones as the reward. Ye Qiu accepted the challenge.
