I promise you!

Observing Lan Qingyan's stubborn and unreasonable appearance, everyone couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless. Over the past few days, Lan Qingyan had faced considerable setbacks, and as elders, they didn't want to completely shatter her confidence. However, they simply couldn't take Lan Qingyan's words seriously.

Lan Qingyan could naturally sense that nobody was moved by her words. This feeling made her feel somewhat overwhelmed, but if she admitted defeat now, she would have nothing left!

"Even if your Seven-Colored Divine Bead has evolved, my cultivation is stronger than yours!" Lan Qingyan stared intently at Baili Hongzhuang, refusing to admit that she was inferior.

"It's just a difference of one level. I advise you not to deceive yourself," Baili Hongzhuang's voice was cold and indifferent. Even though Lan Qingyan had reached a point where she was saying anything, Baili Hongzhuang showed no sympathy.

Compared to what Lan Qingyan and her family had done to them, these losses meant nothing.

"Unless you can defeat me, I will absolutely not quit," Lan Qingyan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with determination.

"You've already been defeated by me before," Baili Hongzhuang retorted. Lan Qingyan was taken aback. "Now, I am completely different from before. The gap between a Blue Stage ninth-rank and a Purple Stage first-rank is not so simple!"

Lan Hongtai's brows furrowed as he gradually realized that Lan Qingyan was just being unreasonable.

"Lan Qingyan..." Just as Lan Hongtai was about to persuade Lan Qingyan to give up, Baili Hongzhuang's voice suddenly rang out.

"Fine, I promise you!" These words stunned everyone present, including Lan Qingyan herself.

She knew very well that the words she had just spoken had no persuasive power for the elders. Yet, Baili Hongzhuang had actually agreed.

"As long as you can defeat me in tomorrow's competition, I will give up the position of the family head," Baili Hongzhuang declared. Lan Qingyan couldn't help but feel delighted. However, the next words from Baili Hongzhuang made her hesitate.

"But if you lose, you will give me the Seven-Colored Divine Bead!"

Her voice was filled with determination, and her eyes were sharp as knives. There was absolutely no possibility of her belongings falling into the hands of others!

"The Seven-Colored Divine Bead is already within my body. How can I give it to you?" Lan Qingyan questioned.

"I will retrieve the Seven-Colored Divine Bead from your body the same way Yue Siqing retrieved it from mine back then," Baili Hongzhuang replied, leaving everyone dumbfounded. This statement greatly exceeded their expectations. Mu Lingbing also understood the meaning behind Baili Hongzhuang's previous words during their conversation.

Lan Qingyan struggled internally. She hadn't expected Baili Hongzhuang to make such a demand.

"If you already have a Seven-Colored Divine Bead, why do you need mine?" Lan Qingyan questioned.

"Mind your words. The Seven-Colored Divine Bead was never yours to begin with," Baili Hongzhuang's gaze turned extremely cold. Faced with Lan Qingyan's shamelessness, her disgust intensified.

"If you refuse, then there's no need for this competition. Think it over," Baili Hongzhuang stated. After a while, Lan Qingyan gritted her teeth and nodded. "Fine! I agree!"

She couldn't afford to miss this opportunity! With her cultivation at the Purple Stage first-rank, she still had a chance of winning against Baili Hongzhuang!

Moreover, she didn't believe that her own clansmen would truly allow Baili Hongzhuang to use such cruel methods to retrieve the Seven-Colored Divine Bead from her body!
