Wang Tianran said:
"How about this, if you beat me, you pay, but if I beat you, I pay, okay?"
"Fine, no problem!"
Li Ping'an had seen the cost of living in Chang'an City during this time—a regular inn for one night would cost one hundred taels of silver. Hanging out at the Music Bureau, where all the elites went to drink and find girls with Wang Tianran, would cost a fortune!
Now he only had just over eight hundred taels of silver left, probably not even enough for one night's expenses for Wang Tianran, so Li Ping'an was about to immediately concede.
Yet, seeing through his thoughts, Wang Tianran suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, and pointing at Li Ping'an, he snickered:
"You bastard, don't think I don't know what you're up to. I know you don't want to fight me; how about we find another way to determine the winner, what do you think?"
Li Ping'an felt that this was a good suggestion and asked curiously:
"What other way do you have in mind?"
"Come closer..."
