Chapter 235 Real or Fake Girlfriend (1/2)

Xiao Bing was truly surprised. But when he came to think of it, he found it possible. After all, Su Peiya’s birthplace was still a secret which was known by the high officers of the government. In the Dragon Gate, he was the only one who knew it.

Though he had done many deeds like killing Zhu Mingyu, the North Heaven Queen and Lord Long’s men, these things were nothing in the eyes of the top masters in the dark world. He was even defeated by Lord Long. Would they believe that the leader of Dragon Gate was defeated by Lord Long?

Hence, it was unreasonable for Dragon Gate and the Buddhism to set their eyes on this place. Yet Buddhism sent their killers here. Maybe Xiao Bing was not their target. Maybe it was just a random encounter and the freak meeting ended with him fighting them.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Bing should definitely let Gao Fei and Maggie leave this place. On the one hand, he would not be involved in their troubles. On the other hand, the Buddhism’s attention could be diverted, which would make it hard for them to know his whereabouts.

But Xiao Bing didn’t want to do that. If Xiao Bing did things the normal way, he would not be Xiao Bing.

“You can’t leave!”

Gao Fei gasped, “What?

Gao Fei once told others that he had been wearing this emotionless face for almost his entire life. There were very few times when he looked surprised. But after many years, when he recalled this moment, he still remembered how shocked he was hearing Xiao Bing tell him he not to go.

Even in the Dark World, the Buddhism was taboo. Gao Fei could not imagine that this man could still be so placid when hearing that his friend had offended these monks. He deemed this man a loyal friend and believed that he must have a strong mentality.

Xiao Bing was elated when he saw the disbelief on Gao Fei’s face because he finally saw a different expression. “You can’t go!” Xiao Bing repeated.

Gao Fei’s mind went blank for a moment and then he said mockingly, “Don’t you know how powerful these monks are?”

“Of course I know. I know that though the underground world is powerful, it is still very inferior to the Dark World. The underground world is like the human world’s darkness where a considerable number of rascals are gathered. But powerful masters can scarcely be found there. Yet in the Dark World, every one of the top masters can cause considerable damage to a country. And the Buddhism is even a taboo which is barely spoken by others.”

Gao Fei didn’t expect Xiao Bing to know this much about the two worlds. He found this man more and more enigmatic. “Then why do you still want to keep us?”

“Because I’m Xiao Bing.”

“That’s it? Only because you’re Xiao Bing?”

“Yes,” answered Xiao Bing gravely. “If I get cold feet and betray my loyalty every time this happens, then I’m not Xiao Bing anymore. Since I was little, there’s only one saying I live by.”

“Which one?”

“If one has friends or partners, he has to take responsibility. It’s not only for himself, but it’s also for the well-being of the ones he holds dear!” Xiao Bing became stern as he spoke. “That’s why I won’t let you go. Maybe I’m not as powerful as you. But I’m your brother. If the sky falls, I shall prop it up for you!”

Gao Fei stared at Xiao Bing cautiously while Xiao Bing also looked into his eyes. There was an imposing power in Xiao Bing’s eyes. Gao Fei had never seen it, not even in that man’s eyes…

He was merely a master of Elixir-strength. Why was he so confident? Why did his eyes contain such formidable power?

Gao Fei could not figure it out. But suddenly he did not want to go. He wanted to see how Xiao Bing and he would go against Buddhism together. It was a crazy and incredulous idea.

Yet Gao Fei still could not suppress the urge inside him. He looked away and spoke calmly, “Alright. Show me how you’re going to prop up the falling sky.”

Then he turned around and headed towards the door. He was about to open it when he suddenly spoke, “Boss.”

“What?”

“I hope you won’t live to rue this decision.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t.” Xiao Bing smiled, “Not ever.”

Gao Fei went out with Maggie trailing behind. Then the others followed Ye Xiaoxi to the ward, asking about his injuries.

After they got out of the hospital, Maggie sighed sadly and pouted, “When should we leave?”

“What?”
