Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Once you've successfully concocted it, it won't be too late for this young master to compete with you." After Xue Ying said this, even the sycophants felt that something was a bit off. Of course, I can make a concession—if you have something worth 500,000, that's fine too." After all, Young Master Xue had grown up in such an official's Family; with a quick turn of his mind, he knew how to get himself out of the predicament. I guarantee it with the reputation of the Bai Family of Hundred Herbs Ha...
"What kind of thing do you think you are? Hurry up and get inside to mix your medicine. These people have already placed their bets. This young master doesn't have time to compete with you, nor do you have the qualifications. Once you've successfully concocted it, it won't be too late for this young master to compete with you."
After Xue Ying said this, even the sycophants felt that something was a bit off.
This wasn't Young Master Xue's usual style. If Young Master Xue really had the ability, he would have stepped up to show off long ago. These Young Masters from wealthy families loved to flaunt, but Now it seemed he had something he couldn't speak of!
Could it be that we've actually hindered him?
The people around didn't dare to speak Now. If they accidentally kissed up to the wrong end, it would be no small matter.
"They say the people of the Xue Family are bold and dare to take on any challenge. It seems that saying is a bit of nonsense!"
Liu Ning said unhurriedly. He knew these Young Masters from Major Families would try to back out.
But when it came to their Family's honor, if they continued to be shameless, they would be blackening their Family's name.
Even if they won outside, the Enforcement Team within their Major Family probably wouldn't let them off.
"You..."
Young Master Xue didn't know what to say. This kid had actually dragged the entire Xue Family into this, and what he just said was incredibly sharp and condemning.
If he still avoided the battle, there would be no good consequences for him if the Family found out.
"There's no problem if you want to compete, but it's not that simple to get me to act. Without 500,000, I absolutely won't do it. Don't think about using your previous bet again; there must be a new 500,000. Of course, I can make a concession—if you have something worth 500,000, that's fine too."
After all, Young Master Xue had grown up in such an official's Family; with a quick turn of his mind, he knew how to get himself out of the predicament.
What he said was also reasonable. After all, he was a person of status; if there were no stakes, he naturally wouldn't play such a game.
Moreover, he also understood Liu Ning very well. Liu Ning had hit the jackpot by killing a Vicious Beast, which was already the limit. How could he have any other savings? Even if he did, it would only be a few tens of thousands; it was impossible for him to have 500,000.
"A bet of 500,000..."
At this moment, Liu Ning was possessed by an Oscar-winning actor. With a hint of hesitation on his face, in the eyes of Others, it looked like he was a bit scared.
The people around also laughed merrily. This was the script that should have been followed. The previous script had deviated; it should have been Young Master Xue beating up this poor kid.
A pauper is a pauper; he doesn't even have 500,000, yet he wants to fight with this Young Master. Young Master Xue had a sinister smile on his face, thinking he had caught Liu Ning's weakness.
"Stop making a fool of yourself here. You have no money yet you want to bet with others. I think you're really trash. You'd better hurry home; this kind of place isn't somewhere you can come to."
Young Master Xue took the opportunity to ridicule him, and the people around also burst into laughter, as if oppressing the lower class could bring them pleasure.
"Stop looking down on people. If I have such a thing, would you really dare to bet with me?"
Liu Ning swallowed hard. Although his words were firm, Everyone present could see that he was just putting on a brave front; perhaps he didn't have anything worth 500,000 at all.
"Stop acting tough. If you're worried, I'll give you a guarantee right here. All these friends around can be witnesses. At any rate, I am a member of the Xue Family; my word is my bond. If you have something, hurry up and take it out, and I'll bet this round with you. If you don't, then get lost and go home. Don't come here to buy medicinal herbs in the future; seeing you is an eyesore."
Young Master Xue said proudly. At this moment, he already felt that victory was within his grasp; this guy couldn't possibly have such things.
All that was left was to humiliate him with all his might and take that 500,000 from him. He didn't care about this small amount of money, but as long as he could strike a blow against this guy, he would do so without sparing any effort.
"Alright then, I'll bet with you. I don't have money, but I have this."
Liu Ning gave a sinister smile at this moment, having waited exactly for those words from Young Master Xue.
"You've already dragged the Xue Family into this yourself, so the weight of these words is different. You are an insider of the Xue Family; if you don't take this reputation seriously, plenty of people will deal with you."
"My goodness, this is a sky-blue potion, a High-grade Healing Potion! It's really worth 500,000!"
Since they were all here to buy medicinal herbs, they were naturally very familiar with various Potions. Now, there wasn't even a need for a professional to judge; they could determine it was real. Young Master Xue had no way out.
"You... this must be fake! How could you possibly have such a thing? Your whole Family combined isn't even worth 50,000."
Young Master Xue's lackeys finally reacted. How could someone like Young Master Xue do something as shameless as reneging? They had to be the ones to step up and take the heat.
These people also realized that Young Master Xue only had the title of an Apothecary Apprentice. If Young Master Xue were really made to compete, he probably wouldn't have the ability and might even fall flat on his face right here.
Fortunately, they caught on relatively quickly. If they had continued to praise him to death like before, Young Master Xue might have killed them when they got back.
Young Master Xue shook his head speechlessly. These stupid subordinates finally realized it. Earlier, it was all because of your fussing, but Now there's no time to deal with you. Let's resolve this mess first.
"Whether the potion is real or fake is, of course, for us professionals to appraise. This is Hundred Herbs Hall; any kind of potion can be identified as real or fake at first glance."
Just as Everyone was at a stalemate, a beautiful young lady in a white dress walked over from the stairs.
"This is the second Young Miss of Hundred Herbs Hall, Miss Bai Lu..."
Liu Ning heard someone nearby address this Young Miss as Miss Bai.
The owner of Hundred Herbs Hall is surnamed Bai, so it seems she is one of the owners as well.
Liu Ning looked up; this Miss Bai Lu indeed had a stunning appearance. To say she was capable of toppling cities and nations would not be an exaggeration. She was a vixen of the same level as Su Fei.
He just didn't know whose side she was on this time. Could she be in league with Young Master Xue? After all, the Bai Family was also a Major Family, second only to the Four Great Families. If it came to helping, it was impossible for them to help him.
"This potion is real. I guarantee it with the reputation of the Bai Family of Hundred Herbs Hall."
Without using any instruments, Miss Bai Lu directly stated it was real, effectively sending Young Master Xue to the execution block.
