C105 Bet (2/2)
Tang Tiebing's eyes shrank into narrow slits, and his originally bloodless face now looked even more sinister, causing a chill to spread out from the bottom of his heart.
He was already an old student in the Holy Flame Academy and was clearer than anyone about the rules there. Although there were rules in this world, there were also rules. As long as he did not kill Qin Shaojie, everything else would be fine.
Maybe because Qin Shaojie was a new disciple and did not know of Tang Tiebing's methods, he had long since gotten used to this kind of method. Otherwise, this infamous person wouldn't be so frightening.
”Let's make a bet.”
Just then, Qin Shaojie suddenly spoke out.
”What kind of tricks are you trying to pull?”
With profound strength gathering, and with Qin Shaojie being forced into a corner where it was impossible for him to escape, Tang Tiebing thought that this was Qin Shaojie's plan to slow down his movements, but so what? In the current situation, in his opinion, Qin Shaojie had no chance at all.
That being the case, he actually wanted to see what Qin Shaojie was up to.
”I'll think of a way to cure your hidden ailment, but you have to follow me for three years. At least, when I am in Holy Flame Academy, you must follow me. ”
Looking at Tang Tiebing, he spoke one word at a time.
If it was anyone else, they would have already laughed out loud, and would even treat Qin Shaojie as an idiot, but this sentence caused Tang Tiebing's heartbeat to suddenly rise. His eyes that looked at Qin Shaojie had shrunk to the size of a needle, even his breathing had changed.
No one knew better than himself how much influence Qin Shaojie's words had on him.
Everyone knew that the increase in Tang Tiebing's strength was sudden, but no one knew how terrible his current condition was. Living, even, could be calculated by the number of days. Because of this, he seemed to care even less. It was to the extent that he did not care about emotions at all, because to the current Tang Tiebing, this thing was nothing more than a burden.
”What do you know?”
He had thought of too many ways, and even the elders of the academy had yet to discover anything, so he had basically given up. However, when Qin Shaojie said the word ”hidden”, he could not treat it seriously. If there really was a way to remove his imprint, let alone following him for three years, even if it was thirty years, so what?
Not to mention, who could be so sure of what would happen in the future?
Living in the present moment was the most important thing to the current Tang Tiebing.
However, these words came from Qin Shaojie's mouth, and even the elders of the Holy Flame Academy s could not tell that there was anything abnormal, so what right did he have to believe that Qin Shaojie had a way to solve it?
”Do you have any choice? ”Believe me, you still have a chance to live. If you don't believe me, you only have three years left to live.”
Qin Shaojie did not give any further explanations. This world was originally like this. It was up to him whether he wanted to believe it or not.
As for whether Tang Tiebing was using it as a strategy to delay the enemy or a trap, Qin Shaojie did not care. After all, the current Tang Tiebing was far from being qualified to kill him, just as Qin Shaojie had said.
So much so that if Qin Shaojie was willing, he could kill Tang Tiebing instantly on the spot.
The reason why he said these words was because he saw that kind of thing when Tang Tiebing's eyes began to shine, something that he had rarely seen in his previous life.
It was just that he did not expect Tang Tiebing to actually come across it, which could explain why Tang Tiebing's strength had suddenly increased so much, but his body was covered in cold Qi.
”How confident are you?”
After a long while, Tang Tiebing asked while taking a deep breath. Just as Qin Shaojie had said, Tang Tiebing had no other choice.
Qin Shaojie was even the first person in so many years who gave Tang Tiebing a sliver of hope. Although whether it was his age, experience, or strength, he should not have been the one to discover it, the truth just so happened.
”I don't know.”
Qin Shaojie did not lie at all. In his current condition, Qin Shaojie did not have any specific confidence.
The only thing he was sure of was that there was a certain probability.
As for how it would turn out, it could only depend on one's fate.
