Chapter 74: Sleeping Together (2/2)
Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue wasn't a fool to stay here any further and get implicated by Elder Pao Huang's wrath so she followed Yang Wei before Elder Pao Huang had a chance to call for her.
The disciples also tried to scurry away from facing Elder Pao Huang's wrath but unfortunately for them, they had nowhere to escape so they were being punished thoroughly by Elder Pao Huang until he decided it was enough.
While the disciples there had to suffer despite being innocent, Lian Xinyue felt no remorse as she chased after Yang Wei.
”Wait up Yang Wei,” Lian Xinyue ran toward Yang Wei and called out to him.
Yang Wei slowed his movement down and turned around to face her. Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in confusion when she followed him behind.
”Why are you entering inside as well? Elder Jing didn't call for you.” Yang Wei asked softly.
”You- If it weren't for my reminder, you would have fallen into Elder Pao Huang's trap.” Lian Xinyue scoffed and started chasing after Yang Wei with her fist-raising up high.
Yang Wei saw her angry reaction and was in disbelief by her attitude. However, he wasn't going to stand still and let her hit him so he started running away, to his one and only savior, Elder Jing.
”Elder Jing, save me,” Yang Wei cried aloud as he went behind Elder Jing, causing Lian Xinyue to stomp the ground in anger.
”Hmph, don't think you can hide forever behind Elder Jing.” Lian Xinyue sneered as she sat down in a lotus position and closed her eyes.
Elder Jing sighed at the immature behavior between these two as she wanted some rest as well.
Refining those pills has depleted a lot of her true qi even if she was in the Houtian realm because her cultivation is still restricted by the laws in this mysterious realm.
”You should rest well too, Yang Wei.” Elder Jing said as she laid down on the ground.
Yang Wei nodded his head as he lay down to sleep.
However, Elder Jing raised her eyebrow slightly and stared at Yang Wei.
”There are so many open spaces to sleep in so why are you laying so close to me.” Elder Jing asked.
Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he said, ”I feel more comfortable sleeping next to you and I won't have to be afraid of someone sneaking up on me.”
After all, Lian Xinyue would definitely try to get revenge on him if he was alone but if he was to be next to Elder Jing then the scenario would be different.
Lian Xinyue cannot afford to risk her life in messing with Yang Wei and disrupting Elder Jing in the meantime.
Of course, Yang Wei had other intentions besides avoiding Lian Xinyue's retaliation but there was no reason for him to say it aloud.
Elder Jing could only sigh inwardly as she was too tired to argue with him. ”You can sleep next to me but if you dare to do anything else then don't blame me for being ruthless.”
