Chapter 124: An urgent message.
Turns out Xie Wuking wasn’t bedridden. At least he really didn’t want to be.
He already stood next to the usual arena, supporting himself with a walking stick. His face was swollen, though, and Lee almost didn’t recognize the boy.
"Borther Xie! Don’t you think it’s a bit too much?" Lee honestly asked.
The guy was a bully and had abused him for more than two months, but that didn’t mean it was his turn to return the favor. He beat Xie Wuking up, earned a bunch of contribution points and in his eyes the case was closed.
"Wfe hadf a dfeel." Xie Wuking said. Clearly making any sound caused him a lot of pain, but either it was his pride or actually the agreement they signed that forced him to come today.
Lee watched him for a moment, then sighed, and said, "Alright. Let’s do it this way. You get better first and then we’ll resume our spars. You are stronger and you will become an elemental master much sooner than I. And it means you should focus on actual priorities, not fooling around with other children."
Xie Wuking stared at him in shock. The last part were exactly the words Junior Elder Yuan Xianwei said to him before Lee arrived. It couldn’t be that they spoke to each other earlier, right?
It took a while for the emotions to subside, but when they did, Xie Wuking nodded, and limped away.
"I look forward to us actually exchanging pointers and not beating each other up!" Lee said to him with a smile.
The guy stopped for a moment, nodded without turning back and continued on his way.
"Alright!" Lee happily turned to Xiao Lian, "One problem solved. Now. How can we get away from the sect for a while?"
