Chapter 103: Are the Child of Destiny types even attracted to each other?
Bai Feng knew full well that explaining himself right now would only make the other side more suspicious and turn their fiery tempers into full-blown gunpowls. Better to let the actual participants explain — hopefully, the Child of Destiny can hear some sense.
Bai Yu Mo and Yu Yao saw that neither White Lotus nor Bai Feng was making a move, so they sheathed their swords and, like Bai Feng, hurriedly retreated behind Gu Yue Qing.
Li Ming shot an angry glare at Bai Feng, then turned his gaze to Gu Yue Qing, who was wearing Bai Feng’s robes, and whispered, “Senior Sister Gu, speak your mind. I won’t let them bully you.”
“No, no!” Gu Yue Qing hurriedly waved her hands, her brain rapidly spinning. “We were just sparring with our techniques in the training ground and had a small accident halfway through.”
She kept quiet about the portable array disk — after all, she promised to keep it secret. She hadn’t even told her own mother, let alone a junior brother she’d only met once.
“Senior Sister, they’re from the Heavenly Sword Sect, right?” Li Ming asked suspiciously, not quite buying it. Who sprains their robes during a technique sparring? Even if you did, why would you change into male clothes afterward?
And with so many female companions around, they must be the kind of dandy disciples that chase after beauty.
He heard that the Heavenly Sword Sect had a big influence — probably because Gu Senior Sister was afraid of offending them and was forced to defend herself. So he pressed on, “Senior Sister, avoidance won’t solve anything. It just encourages them to escalate!”
Gu Yue Qing blinked, “Huh?”
Wait — what? What is he talking about? I’m starting to not understand…
Bai Feng sensed a strong déjà vu, like he’d seen this scene somewhere before.
Oh right — it was when he first joined the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But that was when Ye Tang sent his little brother to stir up trouble. This time, it was just a chance encounter with the Child of Destiny.
Seriously, you came so coincidentally? What’s the deal with that?
Meanwhile, Gu Yue Qing kept shaking her head, trying to clarify, “Junior Brother, you’ve misunderstood. We were just sparring, really. You know accidents happen during training, it’s normal.”
“Senior Sister…” Li Ming clenched his fists. He guessed she was probably too scared to show displeasure because the Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect lived here.
Since that’s the case, maybe he should teach the other side a lesson himself.
He looked at Bai Feng. “If that’s the case, I’m pretty confident in my skills. How about a little sparring between us?”
‘Whoa, that turn is way too abrupt,’ Bai Feng silently complained.
He really didn’t want to fight the Child of Destiny — win or lose, it’s just gross.
He waved his hands dismissively, “Sorry, I mainly focus on arrays; sparring isn’t really my thing. But I’d be happy to discuss arrays with you. And, by the way, think carefully — this isn’t some private training ground. Even if something you think happened did, do you really believe Gu City Lord can’t see it?”
Li Ming sneered. Isn’t this just about selling his own daughter for more benefits? He’s seen things like this before.
Then he continued, “Your point is that I’m afraid?”
‘Tch, this Child of Destiny really doesn’t listen to reason!’
Before Bai Feng could continue rejecting, another voice suddenly rang out from nearby: “Didn’t hear what Brother Bai said? Bai Brother isn’t good at sparring; if you want to fight, I can spar with you.”
In the next moment, Lin Yan dropped in front of Bai Feng with a confident smile, “Bai Brother, leave it to me. I’ll teach this rude fellow a lesson!”
Bai Feng: “……”
Another Child of Destiny, huh? Do Child of Destiny types even attract each other?
“Who are you?” Li Ming narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect this guy’s little brother to have quite a few.
“Remember this — I’m Lin Yan,” he declared, fists clenched. “Next time before you speak, think carefully. Rumors spread the way they do because of reckless speculation like yours! And I hate the worst — people spreading rumors!”
‘Looks like you’ve been secretly watching all along,’ Bai Feng thought.
“Ha! A bunch of guys twisting the truth!” Li Ming retorted without backing down. He used his longbow to nock an arrow, aiming at Lin Yan. “Once I deal with you, I’ll get some explanations from that guy too.”
‘What explanations? You really can’t think carefully at all, huh?’
Heh, this Child of Destiny really can’t get his head straight.
Before Bai Feng could refuse again, a voice suddenly cut in from a little distance: “Didn’t hear what Brother Bai was saying? Bai Brother isn’t good at sparring. If you want to fight, I can accompany you.”
Immediately, Lin Yan landed before Bai Feng, confidently grinning: “Leave it to me, Bai Brother. Let me teach this impolite fellow a lesson!”
Bai Feng: “……”
Great, another Child of Destiny! Do Child of Destiny types even attract each other?
“Who are you?” Li Ming squinted, surprised by how many underlings this guy had.
“Remember this — I’m Lin Yan,” he announced, raising his fiery fist. “Next time, think before you speak. Rumors are only because you guys like to make wild guesses! And I really hate that — spreading all those lies!”
‘Bet you’ve been spying on us for a while, huh?’
“Hah, all a bunch of black-and-white twisted folks!” Li Ming shot back, not backing down. He grabbed his arrow, nocking it on his bow, and aimed at Lin Yan. “When I finish you, I’ll go deal with that guy!”
‘What’s there to talk about? Can’t you guys just think a little more?’
