Jared chance novel Chapter 6100

Vivian yanked her waist free and glowered at him. "What kind of rubbish were you spouting just now?"

Jared pulled his hand back and gave a little shrug. "Rubbish? I only told the truth. Isn't Miss Janis my Soulshare Consort?"

Color climbed up Vivian's cheeks. She clicked her tongue. "Who said I was your Soulshare Consort? The trials aren't finished!"

"Not finished?"

Jared lifted a brow. "I cleared the second gate. You said we'd have a private talk next. Weren't we about to discuss sharing a bed?"

"Stop that nonsense!" Vivian's ears went pink.

She still could not figure out why a man this capable opened his mouth and immediately talked about bedding women.

"Young Master Chance, the marriage tournament existed because I have other business to handle!"

She laid it out without hiding anything.

Jared chuckled; he had suspected there was a trick behind this tournament, and now the cards were on the table.

"Miss Janis, I actually joined for one thing—the celestial elixir."

He said it with an easy smile.

Vivian froze for half a breath, then drew air slowly until her expression returned to its usual cool mask.

"Come with me."

She turned and headed deeper into the courtyard.

Jared followed close behind.

They passed through a moon-shaped doorway and entered an elegant side room.

The room held only a low table and a couch. A tea set rested on the table, soft quilts padded the couch, and a stick of incense at the window sent a light fragrance curling through the air.

Vivian sat at the table and motioned for Jared to sit as well.

Jared took the seat opposite, eyes on her face, waiting.

She stayed silent for a moment, then spoke slowly. "Young Master Chance, you said you came for celestial elixir?"

Jared nodded. "That's right. I need three hundred sixty bottles so I can use a Teleportation Array to reach the Luminous Sanctuary."

"Three hundred sixty bottles…"

Vivian dipped her head. "For most wandering cultivators that's sizable, but to The Janis Family it's a drop in the bucket."

She met his gaze without dodging. "If elixir is what you need, I can hand it over now. Anything under a thousand bottles is within my own reach."

Jared arched an eyebrow. "Miss Janis is generous. What's the price?"

A small curve touched her lips. "Young Master Chance truly is quick. Yes, I have a favor to ask."

Jared leaned back against the chair, his tone unhurried. "Let's hear it."

Instead of answering, Vivian walked to the window. With her back to him she stayed wordless for a long while.

Only after that long silence did she speak again:

"Young Master Chance, do you know why The Janis Family really held this tournament?"

Jared thought for a beat. "Wasn't it because you've been stuck at High Immortal Realm Level Eight and want a cultivation partner to break through?"
