Li Chengfeng looked deeply at Ouyang Nan, Tianjun, Su You, Blockhead and the rest. These people had gone through thick and thin with him. Although they had not been together for long, they had forged a strong bond between them. Especially during the few conflicts he had with Grand Senior Brother, they had always stood by his side and chose to trust him.
If these people were not trustworthy, then there was probably no one else in the world who was trustworthy, right?
Only an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and had seen everything in the world would look at the world with a suspicious heart and a pair of suspicious eyes, carefully sizing up every single person because there was not much time left for them. They no longer had the time and space to make mistakes.
But this young man was different.
Li Chengfeng had never been a suspicious person. In fact, young people were rarely suspicious. Most of them believed in chivalry and were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of righteousness. They had a burning heart and an endless supply of heroic blood!
Because they were young, youth was their greatest asset. They had the opportunity to make mistakes, to lick their wounds and wait for them to heal.
Li Chengfeng nodded at Ouyang Nan. "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk when we get back."
As Li Chengfeng rose to fame, the secluded house he lived in slowly became a gathering spot for Hidden Sword Court disciples. Ouyang Nan, Su You and the rest would come to Li Chengfeng's house to look for him.
However, with so many people around, Li Chengfeng could not accommodate all of them. He could not possibly stand in the snow and chat in the cold. Hence, he went to the Hidden Sword Court disciples' houses.
When they arrived, they saw Qin Mieqin, Qiu Chuqiu and An Tong, who was' hiding 'behind Qiu Chuqiu with his head lowered.
When An Tong saw Li Chengfeng's figure, his expression changed drastically. His expression was indescribably colorful.
Ouyang Nan looked at Qin Mieqin. "What are you doing here?
What a rare guest! "
Qin Mieqin glared at him and scoffed. "What's so strange about me staying here?
Also, I'm a Spiritual Mountain Sect disciple too, why are you making a fuss? "
Tian Jun had a good relationship with everyone in Hidden Sword Court. When he saw that Qin Mieqin and Ouyang Nan were about to start arguing, he quickly changed the topic and said to Qiu Chuqiu, "Senior Brother Qiu, were you guys waiting for us?"
Qiu Chuqiu sighed, "Isn't that so?"
Tianjun asked, "Is it because of the disqualification?"
Qiu Chuqiu said angrily: "Yes!
This time, Eldest Senior Brother has really gone too far. He actually canceled our assessment qualifications without any prior notice! "
Mieqin glared at Qiu Chuqiu: "Shut up!
Don't criticize Grand Senior Brother behind his back. You don't know what he has done for Hidden Sword Court! "
Qiu Chuqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I don't know what he has done for Hidden Sword Court, but I want to know what he has done for us!"
"You!!" Qin Mieqin glared angrily.
Tian Jun immediately changed the topic and said, "Didn't Eldest Senior Brother cancel our assessment qualifications?
Why did you cancel it as well? "
Qiu Chuqiu smiled bitterly: "When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the moat will be affected!
All of you have been disqualified from the assessment. Since Hidden Sword Court doesn't have enough applicants, you've been automatically disqualified from the assessment. Of course, we're all screwed! "
Ouyang Nan couldn't help but laugh, "Then why are you looking for us?
Go look for Grand Senior Brother!
Maybe he'll let us off the hook? "
Mieqin huffed: "I knew it would be like this!" With that, he turned to leave.
Ouyang Nan quickly stopped Mieqin with a cheeky smile, "Senior Brother Qin, don't, don't go!
Let's talk this out. Don't you know that I have a loose tongue?
A great man will not hold a grudge against a lowly man! "As he spoke, he slapped himself.
But the force was neither painful nor itchy. The smile on his face was so despicable that it made one want to slap him.
Mieqin huffed angrily and turned to leave. Li Chengfeng quickly stopped him and bowed sincerely. "Senior Brother Qin, this is a time of life and death for Hidden Sword Court. We need everyone to work together to overcome this crisis. I hope Senior Brother Qin will let bygones be bygones and work together to overcome this crisis!"
Mieqin glanced at Ouyang Nan and sneered, "See, you should learn more from Junior Brother Chengfeng!
And you call yourself a Senior Brother! "
Ouyang Nan did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he said proudly, "Nonsense, of course I know Junior Brother Chengfeng is highly skilled. Why else would I admire him?"
Mieqin nodded at Li Chengfeng, his expression still cold. "That's why we're here. Let's talk inside."
The group headed back to their residence. Ouyang Nan noticed that An Tong was dragging his feet behind them, looking dejected. Especially when he walked slowly and strangely. He couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother An Tong, what's wrong with you?"
Qiu Chuqiu turned around, trying hard not to laugh. He looked amused as he said, "I'm telling you, you're not allowed to laugh!"
An Tong's face turned red as he glared angrily at Qiu Chuqiu. He screamed in a strange voice, "Qiu Chuqiu, if you dare say a word, I'll kill you!!"
Qiu Chuqiu could not hold it in any longer. He took two steps forward and laughed maniacally. "You want to kill me?
Alright, chase me then. Can you even catch me? "
An Tong's face turned purple as he clenched his fists, his eyes spitting fire!
Qiu Chuqiu ran back to An Tong with a grin and put his arm around his shoulder. "Didn't you just go to the toilet and pull your balls?
What's so embarrassing about that?! "
An Tong flew into a rage and swung his fists at Qiu Chuqiu. Qiu Chuqiu's figure flashed and immediately disappeared. He laughed loudly and said, "An Tong, how can you hide this from anyone?
It's not embarrassing to say it! "
Everyone present was trying their best to hold back their laughter. Even the corners of Qin Mieqin's eyes and mouth twitched.
Mieqin roared, "Hidden Sword Court is on the brink of death, don't you dare mess around!"
Qiu Chuqiu immediately quietened down. He obediently came to An Tong's side, his face was tense, but the corners of his mouth would occasionally choke, making a choking sound.
An Tong's face turned purple as he bowed to Mieqin. "Senior Brother Qin, I'm not feeling well, so … I won't be joining."
Mieqin said coldly, "Alright then. You're not a member of Hidden Sword Court anymore!"
An Tong froze on the spot. He struggled and hesitated for a moment. When he saw Li Chengfeng and the rest leave, he gritted his teeth and limped after them.
But when he arrived, the first thing An Tong heard was Li Chengfeng saying, "Last night, something happened at Huangfu Song's residence …"
An Tong stood up like a maniac and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Senior Brother, I have a stomachache, I can't hold it in anymore!!"
