Yu Qing Qian’s smile deepened when she heard Leng Ling Shuang’s words.
“That’s good to hear Young Miss Leng. We’ll play a few more games later.”
Leng Ling Shuang had a bad premonition, but she quickly suppressed it. She mustn’t lose to Yu Qing Qian in terms of momentum today.
When Lou Shao Qing saw Yu Qing Qian’s bright, provocative eyes, a faint arc appeared on his lips, unfathomable.
“Huh? The first plant’s grown flower buds.” The blue-clothed woman in the Holy Academy exclaimed, noticing the plants in the hall.
Everyone looked down and saw that although the first plant was half as short as the second one and didn’t look as good as the second one in other aspects, but it had actually begun to grow flower buds.
With the promotion of the Nourishing Soil, the flower buds of the first plant soon bloomed, and only then did the second plant begin to grow flower buds.
Leng Ling Shuang’s expression changed when she saw this, but she comforted herself inwardly that maybe the second plant would bear fruit first.
After a cup of tea’s time, the first plant bore a red fruit first. Although it looked a little shrivelled and underdeveloped, but it did bloom and bear fruit first.
Meanwhile, the second plant had only just finished blooming its bright flowers and began to bear fruit. The fruit it ultimately produced was red and big.
Nong Nong smiled and walked to the centre of the hall, “Now everyone has seen the winner. Although the second plant grows better, but we bet on which one will bloom and bear fruit first, so the person who bet on the first plant wins this round.”
As soon as Nong Nong finished speaking, Leng Ling Shuang’s expression became a little ugly, and there was disbelief in her eyes. How could this happen?
The pupils of the Imperial Academy didn’t expect this result either. They were originally lamenting that Yu Qing Qian was too stupid and too prodigal—she was clearly going to lose, yet she still gifted so many things to Leng Ling Shuang. Who would’ve thought that the ending would be reversed like this.
As if Yu Qing Qian already knew the result, she smiled and took all the things on the table. She also didn’t forget to address Leng Ling Shuang, which sounded very sarcastic, “Thank you Young Miss Leng for your generous gifts.”
Leng Ling Shuang watched Yu Qing Qian put away the items used in the bet and her heart couldn’t help but bleed.
She had snatched the millennium-year spiritual liquid by tricking the Mo Clan. In the process, she not only spent a lot of time and energy, but also forged a feud with the direct descendants of the Mo Clan. Now, it so easily benefited Yu Qing Qian.
She took a deep breath and said in a rather indiscernible tone: “I hope Young Miss Leng will continue to have such luck.”
Huo Li Ruo sneered: “Luck is also a part of strength, not to mention that such a result can’t be based on luck alone.”
He turned his head and looked at Yu Qing Qian: “Boss, tell everyone how you determined that the first plant will bloom and bear fruit first, let them all be convinced.”
Yu Qing Qian found that Huo Li Ruo definitely had the nature to irritate one to death. Leng Ling Shuang’s eyes were even a little red now—the more he bullied, the happier he was.
But Yu Qing Qian wasn’t a good person either. She was also happy to bully people she hated.
“The first plant’s roots weren’t as thriving as the second one. Under the same growth-promoting conditions, it can’t absorb more Nourishing Soil to supplement itself to grow better, so it will accelerate flowering and fruiting, otherwise it might wither.”
Yu Qing Qian paused, then said: “Seeking benefits and avoiding harm isn’t only the instinct of humans and animals, but the same for plants.”
Hearing her words, everyone present immediately understood the reason, but couldn’t help but sigh in awe at Yu Qing Qian’s meticulousness and observation, and of course, her deep understanding of plants.
Third Sword rubbed his chin and couldn’t resist muttering: “No wonder I was told to be a Body Tempering Master, it turns out that I, a Spiritual Plant Master, know too little about plants.”
