Chapter 362 “Bai Xiao VS Nangong Yi (4)”
But just when she wanted to go take action, Bai Yan suddenly took notice to her brother’s figure slowly climbing up from the ring.
“I said it, I will not lose! My dignity and pride can never permit me to lose to the likes of you!” Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, an ever growing light of conviction was brewing in the lad’s eye, which had the direct consequence of freezing his sister’s footstep on the spot.
“Brother…” Bai Yan murmurs to herself, He really is my brother, exactly just like me….
Her feeling were mixed here. She’s proud that the boy would be so strong under pressure, but at the same time she’s worried that he might really get hurt. Then again, the woman here had no right to say that aloud for she has done the same in the past.
Regardless of the dangers ahead, Bai Yan would knowingly jump into the flames just for the sake improving herself.
“HA!” Cackling a sardonic laugh, Nangong Yi appears amused by the lad’s vow: “Bai Xiao, if you just admit defeat here then I will let you live. Why so stubborn? Are you intentionally doing this so I can kill you?”
Unfazed by the temptation, “I don’t need you to show me mercy. I only need to show the world that my sister has me backing her!”
That’s right, for her, he can exhaust everything in this lifetime.
Using the wind and air as its mean, the words were like a current of warmth, filling Bai Yan’s heart from top to bottom.
Such a wonderful brother, what more can she ask for?
With nothing more to be said there, Bai Xiao once again presses on with his retaliation, aiming his sword straight for Nangong Yi’s heart this time. However, it was useless. Not only did it get deflected by the man’s bare hands, the following counter only got worse like a hail raining down from above.
……
“So this is the place that my precious disciple has been living in for all these years?”
Strolling through the busy streets of the capital, Bai Yan’s third shifu (Qiu Shu Rong) was currently making a heavy frown on his face over this picture. The reasoning, it’s because the place can’t even hold a candle to the amazing environment of their Holy Land!
I can’t believe my precious disciple could endure living in such a polluted place for so many years…
“Umm, Boss, Old Three, isn’t this sort of bad to meddle in Yan Yan’s affair without her knowledge?”
The one saying this was none other than Ren Yi that’s walking in the middle of them three. He’s the second shifu and he appears quite worried and nervous.
“Didn’t you read Yi Yi’s letter and the terrible state our apprentice is in? As her shifus, how can we not come in person to support our one and only disciple?” Zheng Qi (First Shifu) sighed after saying that.
It’s already a great gift from the heavens that their precious apprentice would be so capable, even their alchemy was taught by the lass! Now that she’s in trouble, it would be a sin to not step in and take the charge in fending off any bastard who dares to soil her good soul!
“Boss, Old Two,” slightly wrinkling his brow, Qiu Shu Rong suddenly offers up a suggestion, “Didn’t our Holy Land send someone to recruit people in this kingdom? Why don’t we go over there and see what’s happening. I’m sure the event would’ve caught our Yan Yan’s attention.”
“Okay, that idea is the best thing you’ve said all day!” Knabbing a passerby out of convenience, Ren Yi (Second Shifu) then makes a quick inquiry about their upcoming destination, “Where is the palace of your kingdom?”
Due to how hurry they were in rushing over, the three elders had disregarded the act of bringing an entourage with them. Adding in the fact that they had no idea of the layout of this place, they assumed the competition must be within the palace grounds based on previous cases.
