But very quickly, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and said calmly, "Whether it is or isn't, we still don't know yet. Aren't you being a little too hasty?"
Jiang Hong glanced at Gu Qingchen, then laughed even louder. "Can I take this to mean you can't afford to lose?"
Gu Qingchen drew in a deep breath. "If I remember correctly, our wager was whether this kid could make it into the top three, wasn't it?"
"Now that he has arrived at Ascension City from the outskirts on time, that means he has the qualifications to compete for the top three."
"You..."
The smile on Jiang Hong's face stiffened, and for a moment, he truly could not come up with a reason to refute Gu Qingchen.
Because every word Gu Qingchen had said made sense.
Only after a long while did he draw in a deep breath. "Very good. Then I'll be sure to watch carefully and see whether you can win against me in the end."
"I also want to see whether this kid truly has the qualifications to compete for the top three, just as you said."
The moment those words came out, Murong Ningbing could not help but glance at Gu Qingchen as well.
It was entirely reasonable for Gu Qingchen to refuse to admit defeat now.
But that did not mean Chen Wen truly had the qualifications to compete for the top three.
At that thought, she could not help but sigh softly.
Gu Qingchen stared fixedly at Jiang Hong and took a deep breath. "Whether he does or doesn't, we only need to keep watching."
"Very good. Then let's just watch."
Jiang Hong immediately smiled, and his smile was filled with absolute confidence.
And just then, Chen Wen had already arrived at the scene.
