"Aiyo! Look at how fired up the Shanliangde Sect is!" Jing De exclaimed as they all ate their lunch and looked at the leaderboard.
"Fortunately, Chen Wu thought of that strategy to delay Sun Yan, Fei Luo, Wu Tie and Jin Yu. Or else…" Tang Li said and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"En." Chen Wu nodded. "Though, it was thanks to Er Zi and Ling Yun to immediately figured out the dirty tricks of xiao Bao and xiao Ling." he said.
They all grimaced when they remembered how xiao Bao and xiao Ling deceived them all greatly.
"No… I was really very scared of xiao Ling but I should have noticed it sooner first that his and xiao Bao's movements have a flaw." Ling Yun said.
"En." Fei Yinzi nodded in agreement. "They can reconstruct their body and make it be hit by our attacks, so they would have a reason to deduct our points. For example, even just their finger that was grasping their sword, they can elongate it to that the tip of their finger will be hit by our attack." He explained.
Everyone shivered in horror even if Fei Yinzi has already briefly told them about this.
"And I really should have noticed it earlier…" Ling Yun sighed and shook his head, feeling disappointed of himself.
"You already did great." Wen Wen patted his back to comfort him.
Ling Yun smiled. "Thank you." He said.
Wen Wen nodded before he scooped a bowl of soup again and refilled Cui Xiao's and Sun Ri's bowls. Fei Yinzi glanced at him and saw how Wen Wen is very attentive with his peers. Many people says that Wen Wen is like his master, Lei Ling, who is docile. But, Lei Ling, over the years, has developed his own temper. This was due to Cheng Sheng's influence, making Lei Ling's self-confidence grow, and also due to Jing Kang, his now husband.
But, Wen Wen, right now, is as docile as a cat. He is completely different from his elder brother Wen Yan who is cool-headed. But, Wen Wen's personality today is also attributed by Wen Yan, since he is very overprotective of his younger brother, just like Chen Han towards Cheng Sheng. No wonder the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect complements each other. They have many similarities.
"Er Zi? Er Zi?" Chen Wu called and patted Fei Yinzi's shoulder.
Fei Yinzi blinked and turned. "What is it?" he asked.
"You suddenly looked absent-minded." Chen Wu said.
"Tired?" Wu Lian asked.
Fei Yinzi was about to shake his head and say 'no', but then, in the end, he nodded. "En. I will take a nap first." He said and walked inside his tent to rest.
After hearing Fei Yinzi's answer, the others also suddenly felt tired. They were high-strung the past days. Thus, they also returned to their respective tents to rest. After all, their rankings are now secured and the Shanliangde Sect won't be able to catch up their points even if they would eradicate all the demons in the safe area.
They are not being complacent. It is required to balance work and rest. Also, even if the Shanliangde Sect are still farming for points right now while they all rest, the Shanliangde Sect would get tired later and rest, and then they all will wake up and resume farming for points, making the gap between their and the Shanliangde Sect's points wider again.
"Did something happen to Er Zi?" Wen Wen asked when he returned after fetching a pail of water from the river. He only heard from the others that Fei Yinzi excused himself first earlier to sleep.
"Oh. He said he is tired and thus went to rest first. We also feel tired thus we will also rest." Jing Xu answered while Jing De beside him yawned.
"Oh. Okay!" Wen Wen nodded and thanked them before he entered his and Fei Yinzi's tent.
Why is he sharing with Fei Yinzi a tent and not his brother? Because Wen Wen wanted to learn more talisman making skills from Fei Yinzi, whom Cheng Sheng has taught. But, Fei Yinzi doesn't have the talent. Even so, he still remembers. So, he beat Su Yi in sharing a tent with Fei Yinzi and pushed Zhu Xi to Wen Yan to share a tent with since both are sword cultivators. Now, Su Yi is sharing a tent with Ling Yun, who, fortunately, is also a mage, thus the two clicked!
"Er Zi?" Wen Wen called after he entered. He looked at the bed and saw that Fei Yinzi is now sleeping. He immediately tread silently on the ground and sat on his own bed on the other side before he placed the pail of water on the ground. Then, he started to wash his ink-stained brushes one by one.
"Ngh…" Fei Yinzi suddenly groaned as he uneasily squirmed on his bed.
"Er Zi?!" Wen Wen exclaimed and immediately abandoned what he was doing to check on Fei Yinzi. "Er Zi, what's wrong?" he asked and reached his hand to check the other when Fei Yinzi suddenly coughed out blood. His eyes widened in horror. "Er Zi!" he cried and immediately woke the other, only to suddenly hiss when he felt that the other's skin is burning! "A high fever…" he muttered under his breath before he immediately took out all the magic pills he have and fed it to Fei Yinzi.
But, Fei Yinzi's lips are clamped tight and Wen Wen can't feed him because of it. Wen Wen feels very worried because Fei Yinzi has coughed out blood! He has no choice but to feed the magic pill to Fei Yinzi mouth to mouth along with water for Fei Yinzi to smoothly swallow it!
"Mn!" Wen Wen moaned after he successfully fed the magic pill to Fei Yinzi. "Whew!" he exclaimed and wiped the sweat off his forehead. But, he suddenly tasted blood, which came from Fei Yinzi's mouth. "Even if he has a high fever, he can't just cough out blood… Xiang-jie! Xiang-jie!" he shouted and immediately rushed out of his and Fei Yinzi's tent to call Cui Xiang.
Fortunately, Cui Xiang was still outside and is eating. "Wen Wen? What's wrong?" she asked as she, Cui Xiao, Sun Ri and Su Mi turned.
"Er Zi… Er Zi is burning with fever!" Wen Wen answered. "Also… he coughed out blood!" he added.
They were shocked. They immediately rushed to Wen Wen's and Fei Yinzi's tent. The others who were about to take an afternoon nap returned when they heard Wen Wen's shout.
Wen Wen wanted to cry because he knows that it must be something serious if one coughed out blood. "Er Zi…" he bit his lip which is still moist, and has bloodstain, after he fed Fei Yinzi mouth to mouth with magic pill earlier. Fortunately, everyone was frantic, including Wen Yan, and they also wouldn't look at someone's lips, thus they didn't notice Wen Wen's lips and suspect something.
"What happened?" Chen Wu asked as he and Wu Lian entered the tent.
Using Cheng Sheng's magic, although the tent looked small outside, but inside it is very spacious. That was one of the reasons why Sun Yan and Fei Luo rolled on the sheets and no one noticed it.
Cui Xiang had just checking Fei Yinzi's pulse and is now checking his meridians using her fingers. "His qi is somewhat chaotic right now." She answered. "That's why he has a fever." She told them.
Wen Wen's eyes widened. "Xiang-jie, I just fed Er Zi a magic pill for fever… will it harm his body because of his chaotic qi?" he asked and bit his lip. "I don't know that his qi is actually chaotic. If something happens… if something happens to Er Zi…" his tears fell.
Fortunately, everyone's focus is now on Fei Yinzi so they didn't ask how Wen Wen fed the magic pill to Fei Yinzi whose lips are tightly shut.
"No. Fortunately, you fed him magic pill. It helped relieved his fever, and calmed his qi." Cui Xiang said.
Wen Wen sighed in relief and wiped his tears. Wen Yan was about to comfort his brother when he inadvertently saw Wen Wen's lips because Wen Wen was wiping the tears off his face. Wen Yan's forehead knotted and his eyes narrowed in suspicion. But, because there are many people inside right now, he didn't say anything and retracted his expression.
"What's wrong" Zhu Xi whispered when he noticed the fast shift of Wen Yan's expression.
"… I will tell you later." Wen Yan answered. He didn't expect for Zhu Xi to notice him. As expected of his partner.
"His qi is chaotic…?" Ling Yun was shocked.
"Can this be cured?" Su Yi asked.
"Why did his qi became chaotic?" Su Mi asked.
"Could be he fought fiercely against xiao Bao." Wu Lian answered.
They all looked at him and realized it.. "Not good!" they exclaimed and worriedly looked at Fei Yinzi.
