Chapter 209 Slap in the face

Upon seeing this, Bai Ke shouted sternly, "I forbid it! Let's see who dares to step forward!" His words were full of imposing force, which startled the disciples who were about to step forward.

Terrified, they dared not make any further moves and obediently retreated to their original positions, staring at Bai Ke.

When Lin Xiu saw that the disciples had retreated and remained silent after being called by Bai Ke, he immediately felt that Bai Ke was deliberately slapping him in the face in front of everyone!

Then Lin Xiu stepped forward to Bai Ke's side and said angrily, "Bai Ke! What do you mean by this! We're already right in front of the spirit stones, but you won't let anyone touch them. What are you up to!"

"As I said, these spirit stones can't just be left there for us to easily obtain. Things are likely not simple, and we need to be careful!" Bai Ke said calmly.

"Senior Brother, you're mistaken. Senior Brother Lin Xiu is only considering things from everyone's perspective. Regardless of whether there are any traps or mechanisms here, I'm afraid if you remain cautious any longer, the soldiers from Mo Yun Kingdom will arrive."

Hesitation will only lead to trouble. Even if there might be some traps, we can't afford to wait any longer. It's better to give it a try than to sit and wait for our doom.

We all risked being discovered and scolded by the elders to come to this Moko Spirit Stone Treasury, and now that we're about to become senior brothers, you won't let us touch it. Isn't that a bit tyrannical?

Ling Feng, who was standing next to Lin Xiu, suddenly stepped forward and spoke to Bai Ke.

Meanwhile, Bai Ke coldly watched the person in front of him, thinking to himself: Hmph! This Ling Feng is really like a fly, always buzzing around wherever there's trouble!

On the surface, Ling Feng's words were all for everyone's benefit. But in reality, his words were a veiled criticism of Bai Ke, accusing him of being autocratic and domineering, and disregarding the overall interests.

They're indecisive, hesitant, and unwilling to listen to advice! They make themselves seem like pushovers when they're actually selfish and self-serving—it's truly despicable!

I really don't know how someone like Ling Feng could be chosen as the destined protagonist and become the male lead!

In fact, Bai Ke was right. Ling Feng's words were indeed just meant to trip up Bai Ke and leave a bad impression on the disciples.

In fact, Ling Feng, as the protagonist, wasn't entirely without ability or judgment. He shared Bai Ke's thoughts, believing that things weren't so simple.

But as long as it can smear Bai Ke and damage his image, he doesn't care who is right and who is wrong.

"Ha! Me, a tyrant? Ling Feng! You really dare to say that. You're just going to agree with Lin Xiu because he's brainless!"

"I wonder if you feel guilty about what you just said!" Bai Ke said coldly, looking at the two people in front of him with a slight smirk.

"Senior Brother, I know you're unhappy because we disagree with you, but we should be realistic and consider things from everyone's perspective."

"Since we're already here, why not give it a try!" Ling Feng continued, courting death. Bai Ke's patience had been almost completely worn down by these two idiots in front of him.

As he spoke, he pointed to the disciples standing to the side and said, "Try it? Tell me how you want to try! Since I brought you all here, I must bring you all back with not a single one of you missing!"

Even if I don't get the spirit stone today, I can't risk you all! Otherwise, how can I face the elders and the sect leader?

"This is my responsibility as the senior disciple! You want to try it now? Who's going to try? You? Or that idiot!" Then, he pointed to Lin Xiu not far away and said.

“Of course not…” Ling Feng was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu was watching quietly from the sidelines when he was suddenly enraged to see Bai Ke pointing at him and calling him an idiot.

He strode up to Bai Ke, stood right next to him, and stared at him, saying, "Bai Ke! I'm only being polite to you because I respect you as the chief disciple. Watch your mouth and don't push your luck!"

I, Lin Xiu, have never been afraid of you. Don't try to intimidate me with your senior brother's airs every day. I won't fall for that!

"Oh? Is that so? I've never felt that I've bullied you, nor have I ever used my status to suppress you. I just prefer to speak based on my cultivation level!"

You're saying I'm suppressing you now? Are you admitting your cultivation is inferior to mine? But you don't need to be so polite; everyone in the Heavenly Strategy Palace knows you're no match for me! Haha!

"Bai Ke, you...!" Lin Xiu was about to retort when Bai Ke suddenly interrupted him.

"What?! I'm just telling the truth. Since you're both so fearless and eager to try, then go for it. Let everyone see who's right between us!"

“That’s right, Senior Brother Lin Xiu! No matter how much you two and Senior Brother Bai Ke argue your point, in my opinion, it would be better to shut each other up with facts.”

Ultimately, it's better to listen to whoever is right than to remain deadlocked here. Don't you all agree?

"That's right! Da Chuan is right!" The disciples nodded in agreement upon hearing Da Chuan's words, echoing his sentiments.

Indeed, the disciple who spoke those words to Lin Xiu just now was none other than Bai Ke's newly recruited junior disciple, Da Chuan.

At this moment, Lin Xiu had already lost his mind due to Bai Ke's sarcastic remarks, and his brain was even more unable to think.

He glared at Bai Ke with uncontrollable rage and said angrily, "Let's try it then, who's afraid of who!" With that, he grabbed Ling Feng's sleeve and led him to the boxes of spirit stones, instantly taking the spirit stones from one of the boxes.

Before Ling Feng could react, Lin Xiu suddenly grabbed him and pulled him to the box.

Watching Lin Xiu pick up the spirit stone, she frowned, cursing Lin Xiu for being so brainless while secretly sighing that things were going badly.

I was bracing myself for the possibility of being hit by traps, arrows, or other unexpected attacks, but after a few seconds, there seemed to be no reaction.

"Nothing's wrong? There really wasn't a trap!" A disciple in the distance looked at Lin Xiu and his companion and couldn't help but say.

Lin Xiu, holding Ling Feng's sleeve with one hand and a spirit stone in the other, raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Ke with a smug expression when he saw that there was indeed no trap.

He challenged Bai Ke in a very smug tone, "How about it, our senior brother? We've proven it ourselves."

I'm listening to whatever you have to say! Now, we can finally determine who's right and who's wrong!

"Didn't you say there were traps and mechanisms? Where are they? I haven't seen any! It seems that you can't always believe what you say, senior brother, hahaha..." Just as Lin Xiu was laughing triumphantly, he suddenly went silent for some unknown reason.
