Hua Ruge sat on the chair wearily as she lazily sipped on her tea without a hint of happiness on her face. However, the more others saw it, the more pleased they felt that she was being cocky.
"Through the unanimous decision of the arbitration panel, the President Hua who competed in Sky Mansion Academy won." The leader of the Fire Cloud Sect announced the result that everyone was prepared for.
However, even though they could accept it, they still could not believe that Hua Ruge's pill refining skills had improved by leaps and bounds. They all felt that she had hidden her strength yesterday.
This could be seen from the length of time she had spent concocting pills and the expression on her face.
Now, everyone admired Hua Ruge even more. If he had to hide his strength, he could easily defeat the genius disciple of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace.
At the same time, their reverence towards the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace plummeted. However, their status as a fence-sitter was simply too lacking compared to the strength displayed by the Pill Palace.
Once they sent out their genius disciples and once they sent out their Danta s, they all lost.
Shi Xuejun felt that he was about to explode from his anger.
Shi Qingwan was the same as well. Today's competition was even worse than yesterday's, if they were not dealt with quickly, the status of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace would definitely fall off the altar.
And if he wanted to salvage the situation, he couldn't do so by relying on anything else. He could only rely on this arena.
As long as their men defeated Hua Ruge, they would be able to turn the tables completely.
However, they actually didn't think about the worst case scenario at this point of time. That was, if Hua Ruge kept winning, the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace would be finished.
Hua Ruge did not expect to let them off so easily, so he said: "I will not be polite with those three Immortal City s, adding the one yesterday, your Heaven Seeking Pill Palace owes me four Immortal City s."
Shi Xuejun was thinking about his next plan so he did not say anything.
"Also, can my Sky Mansion Academy be left in the boundaries of the Yan Du this time?" Hua Ruge asked with a smile.
Shi Xuejun calculated for a moment, then said: "You can't, my Heaven Seeking Pill Palace will continue to challenge you."
"You still haven't lost?" Hua Ruge frowned, his expression full of pride.
Shi Xuejun felt that his words could block them, but he calmed himself down and said: "Previously, we were displaying ordinary pill refining techniques, but now we are going to demonstrate the absolute skills of Heaven Seeking Pill Palace. I wonder if President Hua dares to accept our challenge?"
"If you're not afraid of losing face, what are you afraid of?" Hua Ruge agreed without even thinking.
The spectators felt that Hua Ruge was just being too impulsive.
Some thought that Hua Ruge was just a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of tigers. They wondered how deep the waters of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace were.
"How can the competition not be fun? I'll bet another four Immortal City. If you win, you have to hand over the four cities in your hands." Shi Xuejun had thought of all the conditions he could think of.
"No problem." Hua Ruge happily agreed, and then added: "If you still want to bet more, come find me at any time, I'll always be on your side."
Coldness flashed across Shi Xuejun's eyes that were hidden beneath the mask. She really didn't want to play this kind of useless game with Hua Ruge, but for her reputation, she had no choice but to do it for the sake of her Immortal City.
After Shi Xuejun finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left. Shi Qingwan followed behind him, and had to resist the pressure to not show his anger.
Hua Ruge greeted the three people courteously and did not forget to smile at Tuoba Rui who was behind Guang Xingzi.
When they left the stage, there were still many people who gave her a lot of gifts, most of which were for eating. Those people were for showing respect, but Hua Ruge was a little depressed.
This ruthlessly affected her image as a goddess. She was, after all, a famous person with an idol to carry around, alright?
When she went back home to complain to Tuoba Rui about all of this, Tuoba Rui cast her a doubtful gaze and asked: "Then why don't you just accept them?"
"He already gave it to me, how can I not accept it?" Hua Ruge expressed that he did this all for the sake of others.
"You want to eat it." Tuoba Rui ruthlessly exposed the situation.2
Hua Ruge coughed dryly, "A little."
"Don't lie to me, I can see that." Tuoba Rui looked like he saw through her.
Facing so many delicious things that she didn't want to take in Hua Ruge's world was a very human thing after all, so she couldn't resist at all.
While Hua Ruge ridiculed him for making it up, he also ate the fried melon seeds that he got from the other party.
Tuoba Rui did not argue with her and let her go.
"Three days later, the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace is going to use their trump card. I'm really looking forward to it." Hua Ruge said as he went around to the competition three days later.
Tuoba Rui glanced at her and said: "Are you certain that the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace did not manage to steal Senior Baili's pill techniques?"
If the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace had an identical one, then Hua Ruge's chances of winning would be much less.
"Senior left a message for me saying that all those that were snatched away by the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace were just ordinary people. I don't think that they have any powerful pill techniques." Hua Ruge analyzed.
Tuoba Rui nodded. "That's good."
Only if he continued to win would Hua Ruge's plan be put to good use.
As Hua Ruge ate the melon seeds, he continued to think about his next plan.
After two more rounds, she could begin her next move.
"I'll go over to Ah Li's place." Hua Ruge thought about the competition three days later, and got up to go to Ah Li's house.
"Go early and come back early." Tuoba Rui explained, she had always been running over to Shangguan Li's side ever since the competition, Tuoba Rui was already used to it.
Hua Ruge obediently complied. In the next moment, she suddenly appeared in Shangguan Li's courtyard while carrying a pile of delicious food.
"I say, you're always acting so secretively. A person like me would be scared to death by you." Shangguan Li said snappily.
"What are you talking about at such a young age? Death? Bad luck." Hua Ruge lectured as he sat opposite her.
Shangguan Li lowered his head and drank his tea without a word.
Hua Ruge looked over: "Thanks to you, I've won again."
"That's because you have the strength."
"Your information is accurate and timely." Hua Ruge laughed.
Shangguan Li was no longer courteous and nodded: "Then, when are you going to treat me to a meal?"
"You're not letting me win?" Hua Ruge felt that Shangguan Li had not hidden his cards yet.
Shangguan Li shook his head: "You said it, it's because of my information."
Hua Ruge rolled his eyes at her, this child was really learning bad things.
"To be honest, my people have been helping you investigate. When the next person from the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace comes out, I will send someone to deliver the information to them." Shangguan Li said.
In these two matches, Hua Ruge's pills were only slightly better than the other party's. He could guarantee his victory without revealing too much of his strength.
It was all because of Shangguan Li that she knew that the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace would always send out people to compete with them and pass the news to Hua Ruge in advance. Only then would she be able to accomplish this.
