Chapter 33: Battle of Endurance (1/2)

Yang Wei asked his question which stunned Old Ling for a moment.

”T-There's no reason for my action. It was just my wishful and selfish thinking to match you two.” Old Ling said as he avoided eye contact.

Yang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly. 'Was I like Senior Ling whenever I tried to lie? No wonder why Elder Jing was always suspicious of me.'

Yang Wei sighed inwardly when he saw the expression and speech of Old Ling.

”Senior Ling, I'm not trying to disrespect you but learn to lie better next time.” Yang Wei said as he exposed him directly.

He was done with all these mysteries and people hiding things behind his back.

It was fine to be in the dark on Elder Jing's condition but trying to hide the fact that Old Ling is plotting something against them is not something he would let go of.

”Cough, it's better if you just let it be and stay ignorant about some stuff,” Old Ling replied slowly and tried to flee.

When Old Ling flew to the skies, Yang Wei suddenly shouted, ”Pagoda” to stop his track.

Old Ling flinched for a bit while staying airborne and turned around to look at Yang Wei in surprise.

Going back to the ground, Old Ling looked at Yang Wei solemnly as he tried to figure out something.

'How did he know about the pagoda? I didn't even spill anything out at all.' Old Ling questioned inwardly.

”Who informed you about the pagoda?” Old Ling decided to ask Yang Wei for answers.

”Not until you tell me why you tried to force me and Elder Jing together.” Yang Wei smirked when he finally got his interest.

Old Ling had a dumbfounded expression as he wasn't expecting Yang Wei to give him a taste of his own medicine.

'Stingy brat, keeping me in suspense after I did it to you huh.' Old Ling gave off a soft hmph before strolling around.

Putting his hand behind his back, Old Ling continued to walk around in a circle and Yang Wei crossed his arm to await his answer.

'Let's see who has the most patience. I'm always alone back in the village so I can wait all day.' Yang Wei sat in a lotus position to increase his cultivation in the meantime.

It has been a while since he cultivated after fighting Old Ling and going unconscious after overusing his true qi.

Meanwhile, Old Ling had veins popping out of his forehead in the nonchalant attitude of him to go straight to cultivating.

'Hmph, I have also been alone for so long in this herb garden. You think I will simply give in to your behavior.'

Old Ling also decided to ignore Yang Wei and start watering his herb in the process.

It was a battle between them on who can endure their curiosity and urge to know each other's secrets.

At the same time, a very foolish thing to do since they could just tell each other their secret.
