"Fuyan Valley has always honored its wagers and accepted defeat!"
"According to the wager, since this young lady named Xiao Yu has achieved the highest compatibility with our Heavenly Flame Three-Stage Transformation Secret Technique, we shall return the Heavenly Flame Three-Stage Transformation Secret Technique to its rightful owner."
Having learned of the origins of the Heavenly Flame Three-Stage Transformation, Tang Lie could not help sighing as he spoke to Bai Ge.
If Xiao Yu's compatibility with the Heavenly Flame Three-Stage Transformation had only been slightly higher than Tang Huo'er's, they might still have been able to argue that it had not reached the highest level of compatibility.
But now, the enormous disparity between a firefly's glow and the bright moon left them no room to quibble!
Of course, they could have forcibly reneged on the wager. After all, there had never been an exact standard for what constituted the highest compatibility.
But that would certainly offend Bai Ge. And having seen that Bai Ge was a Ninth-Rank Alchemist, they knew even Fuyan Valley could not afford to offend him.
Earlier, both sides had made concessions regarding the wager, and their discussion had been quite pleasant.
If they insisted on going back on their word now and ruined the goodwill they had only just established, Tang Lie felt it would be utterly not worth it.
