The Third Elder was being roasted over a fire, but he couldn't back down at all.
Actually, he knew very well that the medicinal pill was most likely refined by that extremely talented child.
However, he did not want to admit that the young child had such heaven-defying talent. Out of jealousy, he said those words in a moment of heat. Now, it was impossible to take back what he had said.
If he apologized now, his reputation over the years would be ruined.
However, if he did not apologize and went to gamble with this woman, this woman would definitely let that little child refine pills on the spot to prove the origin of those pills.
At that time, not only would he lose face, but he would also have to cripple his hands.
No matter what choice he made, nothing good would come of it.
Now, he could only play dumb and not agree to that woman's bet.
