E/N: Hook, line, and sinker. Poor dude is going to lose a divine artifact
"Yes!"
The cold voice was not loud, but it caused everyone present to reveal a shocked expression.
No one expected Liu Muxiao to dare to be so bold and presumptuous.
Everyone knew that Liu Qingshan was a person who did not tolerate his authority being violated.
Even the family's interests before him were not as important as his own authority.
This action of Liu Muxiao's was undoubtedly a challenge to his authority.
"Hahaha! Very good, extremely good, you are doing very well indeed!"
Liu Qingshan let out a cold snort. Although he said ‘good’, his expression became increasingly cold.
"Since it's like this, then I shall look forward to your performance, but..."
Speaking to this point, Liu Qingshan's eyes narrowed slightly, staring coldly at Liu Muxiao as he said gloomily:
"If you lose, how should you be dealt with?"
At the same time as hearing these words, everyone present felt a chill down their spines, subconsciously swallowing their saliva.
Because they could clearly feel the chill radiating from Liu Qingshan's body.
The meaning was already very obvious.
If she failed, there was a high probability he would kill Liu Muxiao.
In Liu Qingshan's eyes, there were only useless people and useful people; there was simply no such thing as family affection.
Even if she were of the direct line, he would still do this.
Let alone Liu Muxiao, this bastard?
The reason she was able to reach her current position today was also because of her previous value.
"If I lose, Liu Muxiao will be at your disposal."
Liu Muxiao looked at him completely without fear, murmuring.
"Good! If you cannot become the Heir of this term, then present your head to meet me."
When Liu Qingshan said this, his voice was flat and natural.
Without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
As if killing Liu Muxiao was no different from pinching an ant to death.
"Deal."
Liu Muxiao nodded, and after speaking, she prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait a moment."
However, Liu Qingshan suddenly called her to stop.
Liu Muxiao's body paused, and she slowly turned around: "Does the Head of the Family have other instructions?"
"I remember, the day of the Tiansui Mountain Meeting should be approaching soon, right?"
Hearing these words, Liu Muxiao furrowed her brows visibly.
"Since you have such confidence in your new Agent, then let him participate in representing my Liu family."
Hearing these words, everyone present was stunned.
Liu Muxiao's brows were even more tightly furrowed, and she immediately retorted: "He is only Tier 2. What is the difference between this and sending him to his death?"
The Tiansui Mountain Meeting was actually a competition held by various countries to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Tiansui Mountain.
The so-called Tiansui Mountain was originally a stronghold of an Evil God.
More than a hundred years ago, this Evil God descended upon the world, causing disaster to mankind.
Treating humans as grass, with countless blood on his hands, he even wanted to establish a Seventh Sanctuary.
Wanting to create a kingdom exclusively for evil things, beastmen, and monsters.
Thus drawing the crusades of all mankind.
By the way, Demi-humans were the product of beastmen and humans.
That was also the time when mankind was most united, whether they were children of aristocratic families or the Six Saint Sanctuaries.
As well as between various countries, they all put aside their conflicts and crusaded against that Evil God together.
Finally, forty years ago, this Evil God was completely eradicated.
However, although the Evil God was killed, his territory still existed.
And inside, there were still countless restrictions, which could be said to be full of dangers.
And to commemorate this battle of great historical significance, the various countries decided.
Every year, young talents are selected to climb Tiansui Mountain.
The nation that reached the summit would possess the qualification to host the Agent Championship.
Do not look down on this Agent Championship; its popularity was even hotter and more famous than the World Cup in Ye Mo's previous life.
And the country that hosted the Agent Championship would undoubtedly gather spectators from all over the world to watch the battles.
They would simply make a fortune beyond belief!
Of course, the champion rewards of the Agent Championship were also extremely generous.
The winner of the single-tournament system could possess a Legend-grade main material.
And the winner of the three-tournament system could obtain a divine artifact main material!
The so-called three-tournament system was actually the arena matches, team matches, and individual matches.
"What's wrong with Tier 2? In your eyes, isn't he even more outstanding than this old man?"
Liu Qingshan's mouth curled up slightly, looking at Liu Muxiao with a sneer.
"Or, are you simply doing this to rid yourself of me, to rid yourself of the Liu family?"
Speaking to this point, Liu Qingshan's tone was obviously much colder.
Liu Muxiao furrowed her brows, and after a moment of silence.
Suddenly took a deep breath and said slowly:
"He can participate, but... I want one of your things."
"Thing? What thing?"
Liu Qingshan frowned slightly.
"Tianchen Bead!"
"Presumptuous! That is the Master's divine artifact, and you dare to covet it?"
Liu Qingshan did not speak, but the butler beside him instead shouted angrily at Liu Muxiao.
The Tianchen Bead was a rare growth-type divine artifact, and an Agent-exclusive one at that, so it was naturally even rarer.
Its effect was very simple, having only one.
That was to double the wearer's experience points bonus.
Although it was a functional three-colored divine artifact, its practicality was still extremely high.
"The Head of the Family dares to make things difficult for a Tier 2 Agent by sending him to his death, but doesn't dare to make a bet with me?"
Liu Muxiao looked at Liu Qingshan provocatively.
She had anticipated this situation long ago.
That was why she deliberately mentioned Ye Mo's name.
The purpose was to bring out this matter and take the opportunity to extort a hard bargain from this old guy.
Ye Mo seemed to be Tier 2, but in reality, he had an existence at the peak of Demigods to guard and protect him.
And Liu Muxiao speculated that during the Minotaur incident, Ye Mo should not have had a peak Demigod thug yet.
The appearance of Heranir was highly likely after the Secret Realm.
Therefore, that peak Demigod thug of Ye Mo's was highly likely a summoning-type divine artifact.
So, his climbing Tiansui Mountain was definitely no problem.
"Head of the Liu family, dare to make a bet with me? If he comes out alive from Tiansui Mountain and reaches the summit. Can you part with your treasure and present the Tianchen Bead to him?
After all, this is also considered... bringing glory to my Liu family; giving some reward shouldn't be considered excessive."
Liu Muxiao's idea was very simple.
The divine artifact belongs to Ye Mo, and the glory belongs to you.
Although Liu Qingshan was a conceited person, for things he agreed to in front of everyone, he couldn't go back on his word.
It was similar to an ancient emperor having the mindset of 'the monarch has no joking words.'
"A Tier 2, wanting to reach the summit?"
Liu Qingshan stared at Liu Muxiao, his finger lightly tapping the armrest, remaining silent.
Was this girl trying to use this pretext to make him take back this decision, or... did she really have this confidence?
"What's wrong? Is the Head of the Family afraid? Since that's the case, please take back this decision."
Seeing Liu Qingshan silent, Liu Muxiao continued to stoke the fire.
Regarding this, Liu Qingshan's brows furrowed slightly.
He thought countless times in his mind about his own strength when he was Tier 2.
And the comprehensive level of all the most outstanding Tier 2 Agents in history.
Concluding:
Wanting to reach the summit of Tiansui Mountain was simply an idiot's daydream!
Let alone the restrictions and numerous difficulties of Tiansui Mountain itself, there were even more competitors with abundant talents along the way.
No matter how one thought, it wouldn't be this Tier 2 Agent's turn to reach the summit.
Therefore, Liu Muxiao just wanted to use this pretext to let him take back these words!
"Hahaha! Truly a cunning girl..."
Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan suddenly laughed:
"Since my precious granddaughter wants to play, then this old man will play with you."
He looked towards Liu Muxiao in a deep voice and continued:
"As long as your Agent can climb Tiansui Mountain and reach the summit, then I will hand over the Tianchen Bead!"
"Good, it's a deal!"
