BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126: WHAT!!!
Two of them weren't in good condition as their clothes were torn and burnt in many places, especially that of the man whose chiseled chest was visible. The other woman, however was covered in a strange black liquid that bad dried up on her clothes and skin.
Hearing Ning Xi's words, Ying Yue raised an eyebrow and asked.
"What do you mean?"
Ning Xi smiled in return, as she continued to carry both of the outside of the Tando Woodlands.
"Remember those two brats who devised this plan to get rid of everyone and be the only winners? Well, their plan backfired because of you two. They were hiding in a cave when a lightning descended on it, making it crumble on their heads.
They survived and tried to run but that was all luck they had, heh. They actually encountered the Third Tier 4 Spiritual Creature I placed here. It was coming towards the Thunderclaw Roc and met those two. If I didn't get their on time, they would have become a nice tasty meal for the big guy.
So yeah, they're also disqualified, leaving only you two which also means that your Sect is the winner."
Bai Li at first looked surprised before he bursted in a fit of laughter.
"Haha, serves those fucks right. They were really playing with fire and got caught on it. Also, does this mean there won't be any round 2 since there are only two Sects left?"
Ning Xi nodded.
"Yup, two Sects gets selected from a province and Seven Stars Sect and Divine Harem Sect is selected from the Jade Province. There is no need to drag this out for literally no reason. If anyone question, I'll see to it."
Bai Li grinned, showing his teeths which has a few space in between because of last battle.
"Good, this means that I'll take the full credit of these qualifiers. Heh, thanks a lot, Miss Ning, if you didn't choose this type of test, I wouldn't have accomplished something like this."
Ning Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked back at Bai Li with a strange gaze.
Bai Li senses her intense gaze and had his lips twitching as he could already guess the reason for it. He tried to hide his annoyance as he asked.
"Um, let me guess, is this related to Bai Chen?"
Ying Yue couldn't control herself seeing his expression and began to chuckle.
"Oii! Don't laugh. You have no idea how much I've faces this. If I was getting a Tier 5 Gauntlet for situation like this, then I would have become the richest man in whole Qing Empire."
Bai Li snorted at Ying Yue and tried to bow...in mid-air...at Ning Xi.
"I apologise if that bastard did something to you but please and I'm really requesting, don't ever, ever associate me with him. I'm even ashamed to share his blood."
Ning Xi had a her mouth wide open in shock and turned her head at Ying Yue for explanation, for which she only got a deadpan look in return.
Ying Yue rolled her eyes and asked.
"Aren't you a big shot? Why the hell you don't know common things of your own province."
"I'm not the lord of this province. How would I know of everything? I just care about my little town and as long as it's safe, who cares what happens to the world? It can go and burn itself."
Ning Xi shrugged her shoulders in response.
"You guys seen familiar with each other."
Bai Li asked, seeing the close interaction of the two women.
Instead of answering him, Ying Yue turned towards Ning Xi and asked.
"You have some sort of eyes, right? I forgot which one but I know they can see if someone is telling the truth or not. So, let's ask some questions to him and we'll see if he's telling the truth?"
Ning Xi stopped as she clicked her finger, producing a crackling sound as if something had broken. She then turned towards the two of them and looked at Bai Li, who was still confused with the whole situation.
"So, tell me, did whatever you said to me was true? Do you truly despise Bai Chen and wants to remove him from his position?"
Ying Yue asked, as she shifted her gaze on him.
Although a little confused on the situation, as always, Bai Li decided to be honest about everything. He nodded in response.
"Yes, everything I told you was true. I'm an honest straightforward person, after all. As for Bai Chen, that fucker has not only repeatedly humiliated me, even his actions outside had done same thing. Also..."
His eyes turned dark as his voice took a different, heavy tone.
"His father killed my mother. He still thinks I don't know so he is still using me. But I know everything."
Ying Yue turned towards Ning Xi and asked for confirmation.
"He's saying the truth, every word of it actually. I can also see a fire of vengeance in your heart, young man....or wait?"
Ning Xi suddenly narrowed her eyes as they turned golden all of a sudden. She could use some of her powers even without activating her eyes so she never really activated them fully but just now she detected something strange when she was looking at Bai Li's heart.
Bai Li got nervous in front of her eyes as he felt as if he was stripped of everything. However, he could do nothing as he was stuck in place due to Ning Xi's Qi.
All of a sudden, Ning Xi staggered and took a step back as if she was on a solid ground. Then, a loud laughter broke out as she clutched her stomach.
The two of them simply gave her enough time while wondering what happened. After some time, Ning Xi again stood in front of them while having a smirk on her face.
She looked at Bai Li up and down, especially his chiseled chest which was on full display and she had an urge to laugh again.
"Oiii! Just tell us already. We need to reach the coliseum too."
Ying Yue tried to call out to her.
"Oh yeah, um, what was I thinking? Oh yeah, are you actually thinking of bringing...him in our plans?"
For some reason, Ying Yue wasn't liking the smirk on Ning Xi's face as felt like she was at a disadvantage on knowledge part. Still, she simply nodded as that was her plan all along.
Although she was a person who would kill anyone without thinking, especially if it was for her master, she didn't like unnecessary bloodshed. That's why she was hoping that she could maybe take out Bai Chen and his father without actually causing much harm to Seven Stars Sect.
Sensing Ying Yue's glare, Ning Xi rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at Bai Li.
"Since you're in our plans then It isn't a problem if I told her your secret, right?"
"What secret?"
"The secret that you're a woman."
""WHAT!!!""
Ying Yue and Bai Li screamed at the same time for different reasons. Ying Yue couldn't believe it and even thought that Ning Xi was playing a prank, but something told her that she wasn't playing around.
As for Bai Li, he...she was in a shock, a complete shock as terror began filling her heart. She wasn't afraid even when facing a Tier 4 Spiritual Creature but now she was as her greatest secret was out.
It took some time before the two of them returned to normal and just stood in silence.
After some time, Bai Li decided to break the silence.
"Um, you guys won't tell this to anyone, right?"
A grin appeared on Ning Xi's face as he muttered.
"I wonder, if I should tell this to Bai Meng? He has a lot of things to trade this information for..."
Bai Li's eyes widened as she pleaded.
"Please, I'll do anything but please don't tell him. I still haven't exacted my revenge on him, once I do that you can do anything with me."
Ying Yue rolled her eyes and before Ning Xi could add more, she intervened.
"Don't listen to her. She's just playing around. Why would we waste such an opportunity? Anyways, are you really a girl?
How the hell do you have such a chest then? I have heard of flat cheated women but even they aren't this flat."
Bai Li sighed and just gave up on everything, in hopes that the two of them wouldn't disclose her identity.
"It's an artefact my mother gave me before she passed away. It's a powerful amulet that lets me change into anything I want, it's sort of like transform. I just need to have a understanding of what I want to change in and I'll change into that.
There isn't any need for Qi, actually so it's even better and it's concealment is top tier. Not even Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators can see the disguise, I don't know how Miss Ning did."
