Ye Xuan waved his hand: "Since Deacon Tu is so sure that the jade pendant is with me, then it seems like you guys have already made up your minds. If you want to search my body, you can at least restore my innocence, but..."1
"But what?" Tu Chen continued.
"Make a bet."
"What bet?"
Ye Xuan took a step forward: "I can let you guys search my body, if the jade pendant is truly with me, then I, Ye Xuan, will allow you to do whatever you want with it, without any hesitation. But if the jade pendant is not with me, then the Tu Family will no longer exist in the Yi Bao Hall."
When Ye Xuan's words came out, an uproar arose. Yi Bao Hall no longer had the Tu Clan, didn't that mean that if Tu Chen wronged Ye Xuan, the Tu Clan would have to withdraw from Yi Bao Hall?
Yi Bao Hall was a piece of fat from the Fresh Breeze Town. Which family of the Four Great Clans didn't want to get their hands on it, but they could only watch because of the existence of the Four Great Clans?
Yi Bao Hall's income was something that was indispensable to the Four Great Families, but Tu Chen would definitely agree to it? Would the Tu Family be willing? The surrounding spectators all focused their eyes on Tu Chen, wanting to see what decision he would make.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Wu Dazhi was simply the happiest one. If Tu Chen lost, it would mean that the entire Tu Clan would be taken over by the Wu Family.
And the one with the most complicated feeling, was Tu Chen. He frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Actually, all of this was a trap set up by Tu Chen in advance. In order to curry favor with Jiang Yu, Tu Chen had thought of this method, and when he was in the pavilion with Jiang Yu, Tu Chen had given him a jade pendant so that he could frame Ye Xuan and make things difficult for him.
Although he knew what would happen, for the sake of the feud between Jiang Yu and Jiang Yu, he had to block the area where the Tu Clan was at. If an accident happened and they lost the Yi Bao Hall, not to mention him being the successor to the Tu Clan, even the Tu Clan Family Head would destroy him.
Tu Chen was in a difficult situation, Jiang Yu did not care, with such a good opportunity to deal with Ye Xuan, how could he miss it?
As if he saw the hesitation in Tu Chen's heart, Jiang Yu immediately said: "Brother Tu, why are you still hesitating, the jade was with him, we cannot let this chance slip by! Besides, isn't it just a Treasure Auction?
Hearing Jiang Yu's promise, the eyes of the originally hesitant Tu Chen revealed a trace of light.
Then, Tu Chen asked Tu Qing again, "Are you sure that the jade pendant is on Ye Xuan?"
"This …" Since it was related to the Tu Clan's interests, Tu Qing didn't dare to be so sure of it now. He could only brace himself and truthfully say, "Earlier, I had a smart brother take the jade and place it onto Ye Xuan and keep staring at him closely. He didn't notice any unusual movements, nor did I see him take anything out.
Hearing Tu Qing's reply, Tu Chen did not hesitate any longer. It was as if he had made his decision, and said: "Alright, Ye Xuan, I promise you.
Tu Chen's voice spread throughout the entire Yi Treasure Hall, instantly causing a great sensation.
The corner of Ye Xuan's mouth rose slightly: "Then come search."
Seeing Ye Xuan's inexplicable smile, Tu Chen's heart skipped a beat, but at the moment, he was on the point that he had no choice but to do so. Tu Chen shot a meaningful glance at Tu Qing, who also walked up to him.
