Chapter 171 Wrist movements performed to perfection
"Bi Luo Senior Brother, what’s wrong with you?"
Yin Huan quickly noticed something off about his Second Senior Brother beside him and immediately asked, though he was unaware of last night’s events and why Bi Luo’s face looked so gloomy.
A seamless plan, that was supposed to ensure that Yun Xiao would never appear in the Arena Hall, had unexpectedly fallen through. How could Bi Luo be in a good mood?
Yet, these matters were not something he could discuss openly, not even with his junior brother, whom his teacher held most dear. Bi Luo kept his thoughts to himself, his face sullen and silent.
Without receiving the answer he wanted, Yin Huan did not ask further. His gaze then shifted towards a shabbily dressed young boy, his eyes flickered as if he was deep in thought.
In the northeast corner, the eyes of Mo Qing also hadn’t left Yun Xiao since he entered the hall, because she suddenly realized that after their interaction last night, her feelings towards the boy seemed to have changed somewhat.
When someone faces a life-and-death situation, their emotions are undoubtedly most vulnerable. Mo Qing had experienced such a moment last night and, ultimately, it was that emotionally complex boy who had saved her.
Although there were reasons leading to these outcomes, and Mo Qing had also saved Yun Xiao, it was this undeniable mutual dependence that rendered her emotions exceedingly complicated, making it impossible for her to look away.
Xue Gong, who had been paying close attention to Mo Qing, naturally noticed his junior sister’s unusual demeanor. As he followed her gaze, he was startled to see the shabbily dressed boy, who had distinguished themselves in the first two rounds of the Outer Sect competition.
Initially, Xue Gong wasn’t such a narrow-minded person, but love turning into resentment because of Mo Qing’s continuous focus on the Outer Disciple made him develop a bit of spite unknowingly, maybe even without his own clear awareness.
