Chapter 209: Promise of a Lifetime! (2)

“I suppose it’s our turn next?” With a silly smirk on his face, Shi Kui stood up and made Wu Chi to do the same. “We are very bad with our words.”

“Yeah,” Wu Chi said.

“But I swear, I will definitely do right by this badge on my chest. I will become a top-tier Puppetsmith who will shock the entire continent!”

“Yes!” Wu Chi continued after Shi Kui, “And I will definitely become the best martial artist in existence!”

“I will not remain an unimportant individual anymore!”

“Yes! I will definitely be someone helpful to you in the future, Big Brother Fei!”

Then, the two raised their wine. With a smirk on his face, Bai Xiaofei raised his wine as well, and the three drained their drinks.

“So when did the two of you started behaving like Ming One and Ming Two? Have you two turned into twins?” Xing Nan remarked. She took the words right out of Bai Xiaofei’s mouth. However, the two did not care.

“What do you know?”

“This is us being unique!”

They were definitely keeping to it until the end…The two sat down, and next, it was the turn of the actual twins to stand up. After being together for three months, everyone in the Savage Class had obtained a special ability: to differentiate the Ming brothers from each other!

“Big Brother Fei!”

“A toast from us brothers.”

“We don’t have much to say.”

“Just wait for us to be great.”

“Call for us anytime.”

“We’ll be there anytime.”

Then, they drained their wine. In the Savage Class, the Ming brothers had always been the ones who were the most willing to undertake any task despite any criticisms they might receive. Regardless of how tiring or dirty the task was, they would not reject it. In terms of being simple and honest, these two brothers were the best representatives of this trait.

“That day will come. And on that day, you two will still remain the sturdiest shield under my command!” declared Bai Xiaofei before draining his glass of wine. After draining the glass, he turned it upside down to show that the glass had been emptied.

“We will be waiting!”

“For that day to come!”

After that, the brothers sat down. Next, Chen Hui, the only male in the class who had yet to toast Bai Xiaofei, stood up.

“In truth, I was the one who was the most unconvinced of you in the beginning,” Chen Hui announced, grabbing the title of “Bai Xiaofei hater” from Xu Chen. Of course, that was no secret. In the beginning, his distaste for Bai Xiaofei had never been hidden.

“I grew up bearing the hope of everyone around me. To speak the truth, in the past, I had never thought of that as a tiresome burden. But the time I spent in the Savage Class taught me how badly mistaken I was.”

Chen Hui paused and took out his Snowfreeze Pearl.

“My mother used to be a puppet master of a decent fame. But she had decided to marry my father, a commoner. I could never understand her decision. But now, I can. No matter how strong a puppet master becomes, only when the people he cares about are happy will his strength have a meaning to it. Perhaps protecting those I love was the reason my mother had passed me this Snowfreeze Pearl, not so I could shoulder the so-called hope the people have for me. That was something I had realized after following you, Big Brother Fei.”

Chen Hui then wrapped his fingers around the pearl and stared straight into Bai Xiaofei’s eyes, his own eyes filled with gratitude.

“Oh…though I don’t know how you learned all that from me, I am still happy for you. I trust a day will come when you become an excellent puppet master!” Bai Xiaofei replied, his voice filled with conviction. This time, he was the first to drain his wine.
