Upon seeing Fei Yin's and Cheng Sheng's smiles, only one thought appeared in everyone's minds: I knew it! They looked at Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng, especially Cheng Sheng, with a burning gaze as they thought about their disciples' current situation.
The Distance Perceiving Formation was used to secretly monitor the other participants, but it was also used to protect the other participants from xiao Bao and xiao Ling! But, what if the two were reversed? It really looks like it was done out of guilt! In short, this is a deception of the Xinfaxian Sect disciples, again! They want them to owe them, thinking that they are really protecting their disciples when in fact they are actually just harming them!
Doesn't this plot seem familiar? They thought and looked at Chen Wu who is currently walking with Wu Lian, Chen Su and Chen Yu in the prairie while looking for some demons lurking around, even under the ground! Chen Wu has used this tactic before by proposing a small game when he, Fei Luo and Wu Tie together with their respective pairs Wu Lian, Sun Yan and Jin Yu, wanted to fight against xiao Bao and xiao Ling. Chen Wu's plan at that time was to make everything look fair so they would feel like they owe him when in fact he is hiding another ace up his sleeve!
The Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples… they are really unscrupulous! They all thought. Acting like they are magnanimous but actually like this! They frowned. But, of course, this is just in a competition. They can't generalize the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples' actions just based on their judgement of them in the competition. They know this much. So, they didn't react that much and remained silent while keeping their thoughts in their hearts.
"To exactly which extent the Distance Perceiving Formation is?" Jing Kang curiously asked.
Everyone looked at Cheng Sheng.
"As long as the formation was made, no matter how large the area it covers, it will work." Cheng Sheng answered.
Everyone who saw that their disciples are moving on the map while unknowingly keeping the formation. "…" damn it! They thought, feeling frustrated.
"Look. If our sect's disciples would attack your disciples, not only would we lose resources and waste our time and energy, your disciples would, too." Cheng Sheng finally can't help but say after he saw their dark expressions on their faces. "Well, it is not as if we are the ones on the losing side if that happens." He added and carelessly shrugged.
Fan Wen and Fei Yin helplessly smiled when they saw that not only did Cheng Sheng's words not alleviate the sect leaders' and elders' frustration, Cheng Sheng instead add oil to the fire! Is Cheng Sheng helping their disciples, or helping them… in provoking the sect leaders and elders more?! Fan wen and Fei Yin thought and shook their heads. But, there was a doting smile on their lips. It is not as if what Cheng Sheng said is false?
Indeed, Cheng Sheng is saying the truth. If both sides would really fight, even if their disciples are stronger than the Xinfaxian Sect disciples, in the end it was their disciples would lose since they have to use magic pills and potions after the fight to treat their injuries, to which the Xinfaxian Sect doesn't lack of the magic pills and potions since they have Cui Xiang! So, avoiding in fighting against each other really is the best choice in these last two days of the third stage of the Intersect Competition!
Although they hate to admit it, what the Xinfaxian Sect disciples are doing is really the best choice for all the participants! Not only can they conserve resources, time and energy in this way, they also can make themselves saved from xiao Bao and xiao Ling!
So, the sect leaders and lders finally shut up with this and didn't continue to nurse their grievances anymore, which made Xie Lan and Cheng Sheng, especially Fan Wen, feel happy and sigh in relief. The Xinfaxian Sect really are geniuses since they can also be considerate to others when devising tactics! With this, Xie Lan's nose rose and almost pointing to the sky, feeling very proud of his disciples, and also of himself since he is the one leading them!
This look made Sun Yu feel pissed and he almost punched him on the spot! Fan Wen, seeing that Sun Yu is on the verge of exploding, immediately pulled Xie Lan to the side and scolded him to not be so proud… well, at least, not be too obvious of it!
Upon hearing their shifu's words, Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Qing and Lei Ling don't know whether to laugh or cry while Fei Yin, Cheng Sheng and You Rou really laughed. Shifu, we don't know that you are actually this kind of person! They thought and slyly smiled. And Fan Wen's cheeks flushed red in shame when he saw their smiles, feeling as if he was caught red-handed by their disciples. He looked away and then lowered his head to hide his face. When he heard Xie Lan laughed, he stepped on Xie Lan's foot hard before he returned to his seat, which is beside Cheng Sheng, and sulked.
Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin who are seated smiled seeing their shifu glaring at their founder whose face now looked panicked and, ignoring their sect's disciples, he went to coax Fan Wen. Cheng Sheng rolled his eyes at Xie Lan who abandoned all his principles just to coax his wife, Fan Wen. Fei Yin, on the other hand, just smiled.
"You, move!" Xie Lan told Cheng Sheng who was seated beside Fan Wen since Fan Wen is still ignoring Xie Lan.
"Ha." Cheng Sheng scoffed, but he still gave his seat to Xie Lan and he sat on the other side of Fei Yin.
The others turned to them and are watching the show with interest in their eyes, as if watching how Xie Lan ruin his image as he make a fool of himself.
"Wen… ehem." Xie Lan coughed as he sat on Cheng Sheng's seat while turning his body to face Fan Wen.
Fan Wen didn't answer. His ears red as red as dripping blood. He really can't believe that he has exposed his tail as a cunning fox! If Xie Lan hears his thought, Xie Lan would say that Fan Wen is indeed a fox, but a cute and charming fox since Xie Lan has fallen for him the moment he saw him!
Anyway, Xie Lan started to coax his wife who finally revealed his temper aside from revealing his cunning nature. Meanwhile, the Xinfaxian Sect elders Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Qing and Lei Ling had a numb expression on their face, fighting the feeling of shame because their sect leader is acting as a wife slave husband! Though, they also feel happy since this proves that Xie Lan is extremely loyal and in love with Fan Wen and would even drop his face just to appease his wife. Ah! This sour feeling as well as being full because of dog food!
"Come here." Chen Han called and chuckled as he pulled Li Tian to his embrace.
Jing Kang didn't say anything but he possessively wrapped his arm around Lei Ling's waist. Feng Mo was about to feel envious with these two pairs of couples when he felt something warm was wrapped around his shoulders. He turned and saw Wu Bai who gently smiled at him. Feng Mo can't help but smile back.
You Rou saw them and smiled when she suddenly felt her fingers were touched. She turned and saw Qian Tian's blushing face as he tried to hold You Rou's hand but he feels nervous. You Rou can't help but feel sweet and she took the initiative to hold Qian Tian's hand, to which made Qian Tian's ears turn red.
Lei Qing who has no partner. "…" damn it! She thought and wryly smiled as she turned her gaze back on the competition. But, suddenly, she saw flowers appeared before her eyes. She turned her head and saw a man standing beside her.
"Oh, uh… sorry… sorry for obstructing your gaze from the competition!" he said and bowed to apologize. "I, uh… just…" he stammered. His face is red, feeling shy.
Lei Qing looked at him and didn't say anything. She feels that he is somewhat familiar. Then, suddenly, as if something clicked in her mind, her eyes widened in surprise. "You… are you Dong Cheng?" she asked, remembered that this was the person she defeated before after she fought with him over a hair comb that was ruined by his fellow disciple.
She defeated him in the end, along with his arrogance.
Dong Cheng's eyes brightened and he nodded. "Yes… my name is Dong Cheng!" he said and happily smiled. He feels happy since Lei Qing remembers him!
"You… these flowers…" Lei Qing muttered. She knows what he meant.
As expected, Dong Cheng blushed.. "I have liked you for a long time and I finally gathered all my courage to pursue you!" he said.
