BXBX NOVEL Chapter 597 - The Scum Is Cool-headed
"Brother!" Sun Ri cried and ran towards the unconscious Sun Yan. "What happened to my brother?!" she asked as Xi Bing and Wu Lian carefully placed Sun Yan down the ground before Wu Lian left to call Cui Xiang and Ling Yun for them to treat Sun Yan and Fei Luo.
"I didn\'t expect for this to…" Chen Wu frowned as his brows knit. "Xiao Ling and xiao Bao shouldn\'t be this heavy-handed." He said.
"It… it\'s my fault…" Fei Luo spoke and gasped as he touched his chest because he broke a rib.
They all turned to him.
"Luo-ge…" Sun Ri called. She wanted to get angry at Fei Luo, but she knows her elder brother. He wouldn\'t be this reckless. There must be a reason. Thus, she can only held back her temper.
"I… I was absent-minded and he bore most of the attacks of xiao Ling and xiao Bao." Fei Luo said. "We can\'t waste any more chance… the competition… the elimination period is near…" he said in a weak voice. "So, he pushed himself to his limit, so, he…" he looked at Sun Yan.
Chen Wu immediately understood. "He wanted to self-destruct so that xiao Ling and xiao Bao would reveal their cards?!" he exclaimed.
They were shocked. Fei Luo didn\'t answer, since it was already obvious.
Chen Wu felt his head hurt. "You… even if you were distracted, but Sun Yan also has a fault. He should\'ve remained clear-headed, but he didn\'t!" he said and stomped his foot due to anger. "Xiao Ling\'s and xiao Bao\'s tricks are obvious! If you two just… urgh!" he grunted in frustration.
Fei Luo smiled. "Thank you for your help." He said.
Chen Wu glared at him. "Shut up! I just feel uncomfortable for gaining the upper hand!" he said and left, still angry.
"What did you mean, brother?" Fei Huo asked. Sun Ri is equally confused while Xi Bing fell silent.
"Chen Wu already found out the conditions, so he proposed a game to me and Wu Tie." Fei Luo answered. "The first vote, it was Chen Wu but he didn\'t come so Wu Tie took the advantage. The second vote, Wu Tie wanted to oust either Chen Wu or me so he voted the same person again, while I, not in my peak state, voted for the same person, too, but Chen Wu voted for either Wu Tie or I." he explained. "Wu Tie should already got the answer, and Sun Yan and I only got the third chance left. We can\'t wait for tomorrow, Sun Yan knows this. Yet I messed up." he bitterly laughed.
"Brother…" Fei Huo cried.
Sun Ri wanted to lash out her anger after knowing the cause yet she can\'t, for she knows that her brother did this to himself. She can only cry. "Brother…" she called at Sun Yan whose breathing is faint. She felt fear ate her heart. He won\'t die, will he? She thought and felt her chest hurt.
"Now, now. Don\'t think of anything else, or else we have to treat another patient!" Ling Yun told Sun Ri and Cui Xiang patted her shoulder before Cui Xiang went to treat Sun Yan\'s injuries while Ling Yun went to Fei Luo to relocate his bones.
Silence fell upon them, until the bushes moved and it revealed the injured Xi He. Xi Bing wanted to hit him but since Xi He was already this injured, he held back his anger. He also considered again that they are cousins so he bit his tongue not to curse Xi He.
Their sect is really unlucky today, and might become unluckier later this midnight when the elimination period comes. But, they felt that they are the unluckiest since they won\'t have any dinner, for they didn\'t have the strength to hunt for food anymore. Xi Bing and Fei Huo were also tired after they farmed for points the whole day since they know that Sun Yan and Fei Luo will be fighting against xiao Ling and xiao Bao. Meanwhile, they don\'t know where Xi He ran off to. They also can\'t ask Sun Ri to hunt for them, right? That would be too shameful.
Just as Xi Bing was about to get up to hunt and tell Fei Luo to watch their fellow disciples when he leaves, Fei Yinzi came. "Go to our camp. There are food for you." He told them before he went to pick up Xi He who is the nearest to him.
Xi He wanted to struggle but he was currently too weak. Xi Bing, Fei Luo and Fei Huo were speechless but they immediately moved. Xi Bing picked up Sun Yan with the help of Ling Yun to not aggravate his injuries while Fei Huo helps Fei Luo up. Then, together, they went to the Xinfaxian Sect\'s and Youxiwang Sect\'s camp, feeling warm in their hearts.
These two sects are too good!
…
"Finally, everyone is here." Chen Wu spoke when they saw that Wu Tie and Jin Yu also arrived.
Both also looked battered. Jing De, Jing Xu, Qian Jue, Qian Meng, Tang Li, Li Yan and He Shun grimaced since they also have seen the state of Fei Luo and Sun Yan earlier. Just how monstrous are xiao Ling and xiao Bao?! They thought. Meanwhile, Qi Lan didn\'t react nor did the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect.
Wu Tie wryly smiled. "Risks have to be taken in order to gain something." He just said as he and Jin Yu sat on the side. "Thank you for inviting us for a meal." He said.
"I invited you to discuss something, so I have to provide you a meal, right?" Chen Wu said.
Everyone. "…" wait… when did Chen Wu become a tsundere?! They thought and looked at Chen Wu in shock, before they retracted their gazes. Chen Wu obviously just wanted to treat these unfortunate people for a meal yet he still acting as sarcastic. Oh, wait… it seems that Chen Han is also a tsundere! No wonder! They thought when they recalled Chen Han.
(Chen Han: achoo! Who is talking bad about me?!)
Wu Lian coughed. "For the matter of conditions of xiao Ling and xiao Bao stealing our points…" he spoke.
Finally, there is someone cool-headed! They all thought and looked at Wu Lian with a grateful gaze.
"We won\'t be disclosing it." Wu Lian said.
Sun Yan, who fortunately is now awake, wryly smiled. "I know. It is our loss. You giving us a fair chance is already very kind of you." He said.
Fei Luo lowered his head in shame.
"So, you are the one who got the shortest stick." Wu Tie said. "And you got the second one." He looked at Chen Wu. "No wonder you didn\'t come to the appointed time and we seized it. It turned out that you already knew the answers." He said.
Chen Wu didn\'t speak and just resumed eating.
"As for the matter of points…" Wu Lian continued.
The Shanliangde Sect, as well as Wu Tie and Jin Yu, fell silent because their sore spot was poked. There was a disparity of their points from these people\'s points. They admit that they lost.
"Everyone reached to an agreement..." Wu Lian looked at the Shanliangde Sect, Wu Tie and Jin Yu who looked gloomy. "… that in case your points won\'t be enough for the second point threshold, we will give you points until your points would be enough so that you won\'t be eliminated." He said.
Their eyes widened in shock. "What?!" Wu Tie exclaimed as they looked at the Xinfaxian Sect, Youxiwang Sect, Zunjingde Sect, Qianxu Sect, Ling Yun, Tang Li, Li Yan, He Shun and Qi Lan in disbelief.
"You… are you mocking us?!" Xi He asked.
"Hey. Should we really include him? He is very obnoxious…" Tang Li muttered.
"You!" Xi He glared at him.
"Who says we are mocking you?" Jing De said as his brow raised. "We aren\'t pitying you. This is just us making you owe us a favor." He explained. "Of course, we won\'t ask for you to repay the favor during the competition." He said. "Also, we will go all-out against you for the remaining two days." He grinned.
Sun Yan\'s, Xi Bing\'s and Wu Tie\'s faces became serious. They have a really bad feeling with this.
"Of course, we will only give you our points for just one day, until all of you got better." Wu Lian continued. "As for the last day, you have to watch out for yourselves. We won\'t show you any mercy." He told them.
Their hearts skipped a beat and thumped wildly against their chests. The Shanliangde Sect and Wu Tie and Jin Yu felt that they will definitely lose bigger this time.
"We understand." Sun Yan finally spoke. "We also definitely gonna count you giving us a fair opportunity with that small game as a favor we owe." He said. "Thank you for being fair competitors.." He told them and smiled.
