Murong Qingxian said solemnly, "I told you, I did this alone. Whatever happens, I'll bear the consequences myself."
"Hahaha! How noble of you, bearing the consequences yourself."
Jiang Longshan suddenly burst out laughing, his voice still thick with mockery.
By now, he had regained his composure.
He had thought he would no longer be able to make a move against Chen Wen.
What he hadn't expected was for Chen Wen to come forward of his own accord.
In that case, he would seize this chance to kill Chen Wen right here.
Whether Murong Qingxian could surpass him never even entered his calculations.
In his eyes, Murong Qingxian certainly had talent and potential.
Perhaps he himself would have fallen short of Murong Qingxian at the same age.
But as they were now, he would undoubtedly come out ahead.
No... he would leave Murong Qingxian far behind.
He had that much confidence.
With that, Jiang Longshan suppressed his thoughts and looked toward Chen Wen. "You want to wager your life against mine? I'll oblige."
He actually agreed?
Good grief... things have really gotten out of hand.
Everyone drew a sharp breath when they heard him.
Then again, if they were Jiang Longshan, they would have agreed too.
This was a perfect chance to kill Chen Wen.
Killing someone under the terms of a wager would not count as breaking the rules.
Even the Ascension Alliance could not stop it.
It was just a shame.
It seemed being too arrogant was no good either. It was easy to get carried away, then dig your own grave.
Seeing Jiang Longshan agree, Chen Wen turned to Murong Qingxian. "My friend, I'm putting my life in your hands."
Murong Qingxian said earnestly, "Rest assured. As long as I'm here, no one can take your life."
"Arrogant!"
