Ling Tianyu heard the words and thought to himself that it was good to avoid another contest. He did not wish to compete further; should an accident occur that forced him to use a Spiritual Technique, the spiritual power of two Spirit Stones would surely be insufficient.
"Hmph!" Tang Shiyao pursed her lips and snorted lightly, thankful that the old man knew better. Otherwise, who knew how much longer the competition would have dragged on.
The old man heard Tang Shiyao's snort but said nothing, well-accustomed to the young girl's behavior.
"Now you can negotiate with me," the old man said, true to his word, and led Ling Tianyu back to the villa's living room to sit down.
Tang Mingjing and Tang Shiyao sat by their side.
It was only an opportunity to talk; whether he could obtain what he needed was another matter entirely.
