Chapter 186: Dangerous Plants
“Grandmaster…” Yun Jiao had just opened her mouth to ask when—
The moment Ying Lun saw someone arriving, he immediately burst into a torrent of frantic wailing.
“Ahhh, little disciple, thank heavens you’re here! I’m dying! Save me, save me! Night Abyss has gone mad! My poor waist—my old, well-cared-for waist that I’ve maintained for tens of thousands of years! He almost snapped it in half! After all these years of friendship, he’s showing me no mercy at all! Too much! I swear I’m cutting ties for at least three hours! Ahhhh… little disciple, hurry, talk to him! Tell him to take his foot off me! Night Abyss, just because you don’t use your own waist doesn’t mean you can be jealous of mine, I—Ahhh~~~!”
Before he could finish, Night Abyss pressed down with a sharp twist of his heel, shoving Ying Lun deeper into the muddy pit so that he bit a mouthful of dirt. He spat and coughed several times before trying to speak again.
“Little disciple, you saw that, right—”
“Enough out of you!” Yun Jiao snapped, unable to bear it any longer. Even half-buried in the ground, he still couldn’t stop talking. She rubbed her temples and turned to Night Abyss. “Grandmaster, please, let’s talk calmly. Maybe let him up first?”
Night Abyss froze. His face grew colder, but there was something strange in his eyes—a flicker of disbelief, and beneath it, an unmistakable trace of wounded grievance.
“You want to help him?” he asked slowly.
Something about that look pricked sharply at Yun Jiao’s heart. She shook her head at once. “Of course not! But the two of you can’t just fight here, can you? Why don’t you tell me what happened first?”
