Chapter 1006 - 106: Caught Between Two Fires
After a long journey, Lu Bei and Jin Yi returned to the backyard of a pharmacy in a remote little town, where they found Jian Shen and Lin Xi drinking tea together, laughing and chatting. It seemed that during the time Lu Bei and Jin Yi were away, the bond between these two had grown even stronger.
Lu Bei pretended to cough several times, catching the couple’s attention, and said, "Excuse me for interrupting your sweet nothings, but please be mindful of us bystanders’ feelings, and don’t treat us like we’re invisible, okay?"
Jian Shen gave an embarrassed smile, "Ah, it’s you guys, finally back. I was just discussing with Qian Ye the chances of you becoming the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance."
Hearing this, Jin Yi looked down, somewhat unable to face Jian Shen.
Seeing Jin Yi’s demeanor, Jian Shen and Qian Ye roughly guessed the outcome, but they didn’t mind and offered words of comfort, "Winning or losing is all in a day’s work for a warrior. The most important thing is to grow from this Martial Arts Competition experience."
Jin Yi felt relieved, his greatest fear was to disappoint Jian Shen, his master.
Jian Shen then asked, "How was the Martial Arts Competition? Which round did you reach?"
Lu Bei shrugged, looking helpless, "Jin Yi made it to the semi-finals but lost to the leader of Xuanjian Sect."
Lin Xi was surprised, "To reach the semi-finals on your first Martial Arts Competition, Jin Yi, you’ve done well. At such a young age, your potential is limitless."
