Xiao Jinting looked at Ye Jinlan in confusion and said, “What do you mean by substitute?”
Ye Jinlan gave a veiled explanation, and Xiao Jinting listened with a strange look on his face.
In the middle of their discussion, Xiao Xiaodong and the others came back. They heard that there were guests at home, but they barged in directly. Xiao Jinting had no choice but to ask Ye Jinlan to discuss it another day.
“Father, what did Ye Jinlan come for?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
“Have you heard of the competition held by the Business Alliance?” Xiao Jinting asked.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded, “I know about that. Is Ye Jinlan asking you to participate in the competition? That woman has an eye for talents, and she knows that you are extraordinary.”
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “Yes, and no.”
Chen Xu looked at him and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “The Ye family has to choose three contestants. They have one perfect and one advanced Golden Core cultivators, who are fixed. I’m one of the subsititues. To prepare for the unexpected situation, they have found several other cultivators.”
“I see. I was wondering why the Ye family has chosen you, Mr. Xiao. Of course, I am not saying you are not good enough. It is a competition that decides their seat in the Business Alliance, I think that the Ye family prefers an advanced Golden Core. If they choose you as the third contestant, that means the Ye family are washed up.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I think so too. According to Ye Jinlan, even if I participate in the competition, I might not have to fight. There are three rounds. If the Ye family wins two rounds, I won’t have to take the third round. I just need to watch the show.”
Xiao Jinting paused and said in excitement, “According to her, if I agree to be a substitute in the competition, she will give me one hundred top-grade spiritual stones. If I am chosen to take the last round, she will give me one thousand top-grade spiritual stones if I win, and three hundred of those if I lose.”
Xiao Xiaodong was speechless.
“Father, did you agree?” Xiao Xiaofan widened his eyes and asked.
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “Not yet.”
“Father, why are you hesitating since they offer you so many spiritual stones?” asked Xiao Xiaofan.
Xiao Jinting glanced at him and said grumpily, “You care nothing but spiritual stones. That makes you look petty. Although I’m only at the medium level of Golden Core, I’m a well-respected Gold Core ancestor. It’s not proper for me to agree hastily, as it will ruin my image.”
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Jinting and pouted, “Father, it’s a lot already. They won’t offer you more even if you keep them in suspense.”
Xiao Jinting said, “What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person that tantalizes to increase the price?”
Xiao Xiaofan blinked and looked at Xiao Jinting with bright eyes.
Xiao Jinting rolled his eyes and thought helplessly, “Okay, I am that kind of person.”
Xiao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, saying, “Father, I don’t think it’s easy to get the spiritual stones.”
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said indifferently, “Big Brother, Father is just going to watch the show. What’s so difficult about it? It’s very likely that he doesn’t have to fight.”
“What if he has to?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
“Aren’t there two other contestants from the Ye family?” Xiao Xiaofan said casually.
“Have you heard of Tianji’s horse racing strategy?” Xiao Xiaodong asked mysteriously.
Xiao Xiaofan shook his head and said honestly, “No.”
Xiao Jinting’s face darkened, and he said, “I’ve told you this story many times. Where were you thinking when I told you the story? Were you thinking if the horse meat was delicious?”
Xiao Xiaofan was lost for words.
Lei Xuan hurriedly said, “Tianji’s horse racing strategy is to make the low-grade horse race against the rival’s top-grade horse, the medium horse against the rival’s low-grade horse, and the upper horse against the rival’s medium horse. In other words, if the Ye family is challenged, the Ye family might ask the substitute to deal with the strongest candidate of the rival. They just need to win two rounds.”
Xiao Xiaofan was speechless.
Xiao Jinting hesitated for a moment and said, “The Ye family shouldn’t be so despicable…”
Xiao Xiaodong said with a frown, “Why not? The Ye family runs business instead of charity.”
Xiao Jinting touched his chin and said, “It makes sense!” It was not likely that they spent so many spiritual stones just to hire a spectator. It was not worthwhile.
“Father, are you going to take the offer?” asked Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes! Why not?”
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Jinting curiously, who patted his shoulder and said, “Son, we take risks in everything. It’s normal to risk a bit for such a large sum of money. It’s not easy to make money. I will cherish the chance when it comes.”
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Jinting and said strangely, “Father, you care nothing but money.”
Xiao Jinting glared at Xiao Xiaofan and said, “What are you talking about? I have been carefully thought about it. Actually, it’s very likely that I won’t be chosen.”
“A big family like that will most likely hire an advanced Golden Core. In this case, I’ll have the spiritual stones without doing anything.”
“If unfortunately I am chosen and they ask me to fight against someone I can’t deal with, I’ll throw up my hands. Besides, with my strength, even if I encounter an advanced Golden Core, I might not lose.”
The young men exchanged glances, and Xiao Xiaodong nodded. “Since you say so, take it.”
