73 Making a Decision (1/2)

[Mei Chao Bing froze. Feeling the weight of Yun Bei Fen suddenly press down on him completely he knew that something was wrong.

”Yun Bei Fen?” He reached up and shook him but there was no response. When he took his hand back it was sticky with blood.

Mei Chao Bing's eyes widened in fear. ”Yun Bei Fen!” He embraced the limp body above him and rolled around, shielding it to make sure nothing more could happen to him. He concentrated on their surroundings to find out where the attack had come from but he couldn't find anything. He cursed silently, picked Yun Bei Fen up and hurriedly took shelter under a small ledge.

”Don't worry, Junior Martial Brother. I'll get us out of here.”

He still didn't get an answer and Yun Bei Fen's face was rapidly losing color. Knowing those heretic practitioners the weapon had probably been poisoned.

Mei Chao Bing took a deep breath and placed Yun Bei Fen down. ”I'll be right back,” he promised.]

Su Yan stared at the screen. Alright. This was a man who had to fear to lose the person he loved before he even had the time to get to know him much less confess. But he had to go or Yun Bei Fen would certainly bleed to death or succumb to the poison. He could only get him out of there if he defeated the heretic practitioners around them. Since he didn't know if he would manage … shouldn't he do something special?

Su Yan pressed his lips together. He felt like it was the right reaction but he somehow felt embarrassed having to write it. Oh god! Wouldn't people read this later on? What would they think?

He couldn't help but think of his father's reaction. Would it really be alright to write a romantic story about two men? Wasn't he just inviting trouble with that? If Yun Bei Fen was a cute Junior Martial Sister instead nobody would have anything to complain about, right?

Then again, most people had reacted alright even though it hadn't even been an issue back then. His co-workers, even his boss … Maybe his father was the exception instead? Mn, that had to be it! He should just write whatever he felt was right.

[Then, Mei Chao Bing bent down and lightly kissed his temple.

He would definitely return and save him. Those heretic practitioners that had dared to hurt him … they should better pray for their lives! With a grim expression, Mei Chao Bing stood up, unsheathed his weapon, and stormed out of their hiding place.

He didn't need long to find them. With him out in the open, they naturally started attacking. Mei Chao Bing weaved through their attacks easily and took them down one after the other.

Being shunned by everyone in the sect had actually done him good. He had completely concentrated on his cultivation and was easily one of the best disciples they had. These small fry that had to couch at such a place wasn't even worth his time. It didn't even take him half an hour to take them out.

Afterward, he hurried back to Yun Bei Fen. He gripped his wrist and felt for his pulse. It was already weak. He couldn't lose any more time or Yun Bei Fen really wouldn't make it.
