"You..."

Lu Tianfeng was also a bit dumbfounded by Qin Fang, staring at him intently, seemingly unclear about what exactly Qin Fang meant.

Things have already escalated to this point. Lu Tianfeng issued the challenge naturally because of Xu Jiao, even a fool could see that. Does it need any other reason?

"Of course it's for Miss Xu Jiao..."

Though Lu Tianfeng was extremely angry, he hadn't completely lost his rationality. He glared at Qin Fang with a sinister look, speaking word by word.

"Is she your wife?"

Qin Fang asked with a smile... Xu Jiao, standing nearby, immediately glared, clearly dissatisfied with Qin Fang's words. She wished she could kick Lu Tianfeng to death, how could she possibly want to be associated with him?

"No!"

Lu Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, though he really wanted to say yes, but with so many people watching, he couldn't distort the facts, so he shook his head.

"Then is she your mother?"

Qin Fang followed up with another question... Xu Jiao was dumbfounded again, but quickly realized, glaring at Qin Fang with an accusatory look, though the corners of her mouth showed a bit of a smile, she was just holding back from speaking.

Not only her, but even the people watching nearby had incredibly strange expressions on their faces. Some people were showing odd smiles, probably cursing Qin Fang for being too sinister.

"You..."

Lu Tianfeng also froze, his face turning incredibly menacing, pointing at Qin Fang, his aura was exceptionally agitated... Anyone who wasn't a fool could see Qin Fang was deliberately pulling a prank on him.

"Looks like that's not the case either!"

However, before Lu Tianfeng could make a move, Qin Fang himself gave the answer. But the next sentence choked Lu Tianfeng severely, "She's neither your wife nor your mother... So why are you challenging me to a duel for her?"

These words actually made some sense. When you think about it, Lu Tianfeng and Xu Jiao have no relationship at all, so Lu Tianfeng's demand for a duel is somewhat inexplicable... It's like walking down the street and suddenly someone runs up and stabs you, too absurd, even a fool wouldn't want to take this hit.

"Why bother with such nonsense! Whether you agree or not today, you must agree..."

Lu Tianfeng wasn't stupid, knowing he couldn't win in verbal sparring against Qin Fang, he decided to use the most direct, most brute force method to solve the matter.

"Idiot, I've been talking to you for so long and you still don't get it! Of course there has to be a prize... Do you expect me to fight you without offering anything?"

Seeing Lu Tianfeng still didn't seem to understand, Qin Fang looked at him as if he were a fool, shaking his head slightly after a long time, seemingly resigned to Lu Tianfeng's lack of comprehension.

"Damn~~~"

As soon as Qin Fang said this, many people present couldn't help but curse out loud. They were puzzled about the relationship between these two, not expecting Qin Fang had such a motive.

"Prize..."

Lu Tianfeng hesitated for a moment, but still relatively confident, immediately asked with confidence, "Alright, what prize do you want..."

As long as Qin Fang agreed to duel him, everything else would be negotiable... At the time, he planned to either kill or cripple Qin Fang, then the prize wouldn't matter, whether he took it or not.

After all, the Lu Family has a prominent background and is extremely wealthy. You could tell from the gift list they presented for Old Master Xu's birthday... Young Master Tianfeng's wealth is very substantial, he doesn't care about such small prizes.

"I want the pendant around your neck..."

Qin Fang replied slowly, as if he had already set his sights on it.

"Uh..."

Lu Tianfeng paused, then pulled aside his collar, took out the item, muttering in surprise, "Pendant?"

Though he said pendant, it's actually a jade piece he's carried for over thirty years. While it's not deeply sentimental, over the years he's gotten quite accustomed to it... Taking it off felt strange to Lu Tianfeng.

"Pendant?"

Other spectators were also curious, many examined the pendant, a rare ancient jade with pronounced blood stains, an exceptionally fine antique, considered priceless.

Still, even if it were auctioned, it would fetch no more than ten to twenty million, which is a substantial sum for the poor but just a small amount for these wealthy guests.

Initially, they thought Qin Fang might want some extraordinary treasure, but this outcome was quite surprising.

"The item is here..."

However, Lu Tianfeng was also a decisive person. Although this pendant was precious, it was merely a toy. He wasn't so stingy as to refuse... Moreover, he was very confident in himself and felt that this item might not be lost.

"And you? What do you offer as a bet?"

Since it's a bet, naturally it's mutual. Lu Tianfeng immediately responded to Qin Fang.

"Of course... How about this little piece of trash?"

Qin Fang said nonchalantly, then casually reached into his pocket and pulled out a black, mud-like pill.

"Are you messing with me?"

However, looking at that black "mud pill" in Qin Fang's hand, Lu Tianfeng's face turned blue and purple, angrily yelling as if he was about to explode.

"Idiot..."

Qin Fang was somewhat surprised looking at Lu Tianfeng, realizing he wasn't pretending, immediately rolled his eyes and insulted him with disdain.

"Young Master Lu, if you think Brother Qin's item isn't good, then I'll swap my beloved personal item with Brother Qin's, okay? I don't think he'll refuse, right?"

Lu Tianfeng, this fool, didn't recognize the value, but that doesn't mean others didn't. Some people in the distance originally held themselves back, but when Qin Fang's "mud pill" appeared, they were immediately shocked.

Unfortunately, before they could speak, Xu Jiao, nearest to Qin Fang, had already spoken... Simultaneously, she took off the valuable jade necklace from her neck.

"Of course, I won't refuse..."

Seeing Xu Jiao's actions, Lu Tianfeng paused, furrowed his brows slightly, and once again looked at the "mud pill", finding nothing special, almost instinctively wanting to agree.

That necklace was worn by Xu Jiao. Even if it wasn't her most beloved, she definitely liked it... If he could win it, personally putting it back on Xu Jiao later would be a great pleasure, allowing him to get closer to Xu Jiao, something Lu Tianfeng naturally desired.

However, just as he was about to agree, he felt someone tugging at him... immediately stopping the words at the tip of his tongue.

Instinctively looking at who tugged him, he saw Xu Zixiong beside him.

"Young Master Lu, that's not some mud pill, it's an Elixir..."

Although Xu Zixiong was part of the Xu family, he couldn't help but speak up at this point... Xu Jiao already got an Elixir from Qin Fang, which was a huge advantage, and now she wanted to swap a very ordinary necklace for an Elixir, he couldn't hold back!

"Elixir?"

Upon hearing this term, Lu Tianfeng was completely stunned, his gaze naturally shifting to the black "mud pill" in Qin Fang's hand, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Qin Fang previously ridiculed the Xu family members for being inexperienced. In reality, the Lu family was only slightly better than the Xu family, but still a "bumpkin" just as inexperienced... Otherwise, Lu Tianfeng wouldn't have reacted as he did earlier.

Although he hadn't seen one, he had certainly heard of it...

With Xu Zixiong's reminder, Lu Tianfeng immediately reacted... His heart instantly burning with desire.

Not just him, even those seasoned Grandmaster-level experts also started approaching... These were experts from Southeast Asia, having left the Mainland of the Dragon Country for many years, with even many inland sects lacking Elixirs, let alone them.

So when Qin Fang revealed an Elixir, the scene immediately became heated...

"Xu Jiao, this duel between him and I, the bet is naturally decided by us! I presented this pendant he displayed this Elixir... a fair bet!"

At this moment, Lu Tianfeng reacted swiftly, quickly addressing Xu Jiao, who intended to exchange her necklace for the Elixir.

Though he coveted Xu Jiao and was willing to pay a hefty price to marry her... when it came to truly precious things like this Elixir, he couldn't compromise.

Lu Tianfeng hadn't seen an Elixir but knew its value... absolutely hundreds or thousands of times more than his pendant, and impossible to buy even with money!

Now, since Qin Fang took out an Elixir as the bet, how could Lu Tianfeng pass it up?

Allow Xu Jiao to exchange it?

Lu Tianfeng wasn't foolish...

"This Elixir is mine!"

Knowing it was an Elixir, Lu Tianfeng silently decided in his heart.

As for others' hindrance... he would destroy them by any means!

Including those Grandmaster-level experts nearby with unfriendly eyes... Lu Tianfeng silently decided to quickly notify family experts for support, knowing these old guys might take action against him at any cost.

Of course, obtaining this Elixir, the prerequisite was to defeat Qin Fang first... Lu Tianfeng didn't see this as a problem. (To be continued.
