BXBX NOVEL Chapter 119: Deal?
Ning Xi counted the raised hands and then smiled.
"Alright! I'll announce now that only Four Sects remains in the Tournaments. And they are the Seven Stars Sect, Shattered Star Sect, Radiant Star Sect and Divine Harem Sect. Technically you're qualified for the second round but that's only if you can survive for next one hour.
Also, since I have interrupted, the pause will be over when I leave and everyone will be in the position they were in so no point of running away."
Ning Xi called everyone who had resigned to her side and said, looking at the Bai Li and Ying Yue.
"Don't give me that look. Since I'm happy with your courage, I'll give you ten minutes to discuss strategy with each other, well, atleast I'm hoping you two will fight together so..."
Ning Xi clapped her hand.
"Your time starts now."
Ying Yue and Bai Li gave each other a knowing look and backed off in the forest to talk in private. Ning Xi didn't mind and simply enjoyed her wine as she thought.
'I hope Master doesn't punish me for this.'
Ying Yue stood in front of Bai Li, having her wooden mask on her face which only allowed her lower face to be visible. However, neither of them were interested in how they looked.
Bai Li clenched his fists and cursed.
"Fuck! How did I end up here when I was keeping everything in check?"
Ying Yue rolled her eyes and crossed her hand on her chest, after putting aside her daggers.
"It's obvious. It was a Tier 4 Rune Formation which was probably a ready-made by the elders of those two Sects. Those two disciples only needed to come here and set up the formation in the night and boom we're trapped."
Bai Li sighed and crouched down, as he muttered.
"I know, I'm just confused how did I fall for such obvious trick? The formation was just a simple illusion formation which basically led all of us here."
Ying Yue nodded.
"I'm just here to tell that don't expect cooperation from me. I'm sure I can run away from it so you can fight that thing alone."
Bai Li raised his head to look at her with an incredible expression.
"Really? Well, jokes on you. I'm also sure I'll survive for next hour, atleast. However, I want to defeat that big boy and I'm sure I'll need someone's help.
I don't know much about you but your eyes tell me you're strong. But I don't understand why you're looking at me with so much disgust?"
Ying Yue scoffed and looked away.
"Because you're from the Seven Stars Sect, that reason alone is enough for me to look down at you. If a sect has Bai Chen as their young leader, then that Sect is doomed for me."
Bai Li opened his mouth wide and then began to laugh out loud.
"Ah, so it's that bitch again, huh. Just how much has that fucker done to outside world that every random person I meet hates him?"
Bai Li stopped himself from laughing more but a hint of dark amusement was still present in his eyes. He sighed.
"I know that no matter what I say, you won't believe me. That bitch has made such a reputation of Seven Stars Sect but not everyone in the Sect is same. Many do hate him for his actions but the thing is, his father is the Sect Leader and many people are loyal to him. So yeah, I'm from the other side."
Ying Yue narrowed her eyes at him and asked.
"Why are you telling me such valuable information?"
Bai Li looked at her with a deadpan look.
"You guys are new here, right? It shows. Well, everyone already knows it so it doesn't really change anything. My name is Bai Li, the bastard of Bai Meng, Sect Leader of Seven Stars Sect.
With how things are going, there is a high chance Bai Chen will be chosen as young Sect Leader but because of the inner conflict, things are changing. If I showed a good performance, more Elders will be on my side and then Bai Chen would have difficulty in getting that position.
That's also the reason I want your help to defeat that thing."
Bai Li sighed and continued as he asked.
"So, can we defeat it together? We'll both benefit from it, you know."
Ying Yue looked at him for a while as she thought.
'He is honest and that's for sure. If what he said is true, then we can use him to deal with Bai Chen and his father, without causing much bloodshed. Hmm, I'll need to discuss this with Sisters.'
"Fine! But I'll ask you a favor later on and don't worry, it'll be in your benefit too."
Ying Yue turned her head sideways as she unsheathed her daggers. Even though she had decided to trust Bai Li, she wasn't the type to lower her gaurd, not after what happened to her in past.
Bai Li cracked his neck and also stood up.
"I feel I'm at a lose here but whatever. I just want to make sure Bai Chen doesn't get the Sect Leader position and everything's fine."
Ying Yue titled her head.
"But we haven't really discussed anything yet?"
Bai Li who was ready to go to battle, stopped as he looked at Ying Yue in silence. He then sighed.
"I'm all muscle. I'll handle the physical side and can guarantee you that I can deal heavy damage to it. Also, that lightning wouldn't do much to me."
Ying Yue nodded in understanding.
"I'm weak on physical side and fighting directly isn't my expertise so I'll leave on that. Just gather that thing's attention on you and I'll deal damage from other sides."
