Go back?

Xiao Qibo stared wide-eyed, his overwhelming aura instantly collapsing. He asked dumbfoundedly, "Senior Sister Weng, what did you say?"

He never expected that Weng Ting would actually tell him to go back. Did he mishear?

"I said, you should return to Hanluan City."

"I just wanted to say, since Junior Brother Xiao always looks down on the people I, Weng Ting, invite, then I sincerely apologize."

"Of course, for getting you injured and making you travel so far, I will make it up to you."

Every word Weng Ting spoke was exceptionally clear. She never intended to persuade Xiao Qibo just now; she just wanted him to leave.

With Weng Ting's words, Xiao Qibo was completely dumbfounded.

He never intended to go back. He just wanted to force Weng Ting to give up on Sikong Jing.

In Xiao Qibo's mind, his fifth-grade War Body was far more important than Sikong Jing. No matter how well Sikong Jing performed, he was just a non-combatant loser. Wasn't this the normal choice?

But, Weng Ting chose Sikong Jing without even a moment of hesitation. It was infuriating.

His master had said that the Soul Snatching battle was extremely important to him, and now Hua Meixi was just too beautiful… Xiao Qibo naturally still hoped to have a beautiful encounter with her during the battle.

Who knew that after a wave of threats, he would be pushed into having no retreat at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qibo's face turned red with embarrassment, and he finally thick-skinnedly said, "Forget it, Senior Sister Weng, I, Xiao Qibo, am not that petty. I'll reluctantly..."

He was about to say that he would reluctantly make peace with Sikong Jing, forgiving him.

However, Weng Ting interrupted before he could finish, saying, "No need to force yourself, Junior Brother Xiao. I never compel others."

How could she not know what Xiao Qibo meant?

But since she refused, she refused thoroughly. The Soul Snatching battle was not child's play, and she absolutely couldn't let someone not united join. Moreover, doing this was also giving Sikong Jing a clear explanation.

Now concerning Sikong Jing, Weng Ting was extremely attentive.

She was not Xiao Qibo; she had clearly seen Sikong Jing's moves, which was definitely not something as simple as defeating Old Ling and four assassins just by relying on a strong crossbow.

...

Soon after, the Divine Shuttle Ship that belonged to Weng Ting took off and disappeared in no time above Old Man Spirit Manor.

In front of the gate of Old Man Spirit Manor...

Only a beaten and confused Xiao Qibo stood dumbfounded in place, his entire face looking stupid... Weng Ting had truly refused to let him participate, and they really left him just like that.

Finally, Xiao Qibo's previously dumbfounded face started to turn blue, and he gritted his teeth with rage.

"Sky Wolf you little bastard, I swear I will never let you off."

It was all because of Sikong Jing that things had become like this. He could have shone brilliantly in the Soul Snatching battle, could have even gotten Hua Meixi, but now he lost it all, all of it gone.

Xiao Qibo was furious to the extreme and decided to seek revenge madly...

"The Yang Dominance Technique definitely wants to kill this little bastard. I'm going back now to tell him about the whereabouts of this little bastard."

"Earlier, when coming along this way, Hua Meixi mentioned that Duanmu Chun did not allow any external aid to circulate the news that this Sky Wolf would participate in the East Spirit City Soul Snatching battle, but now, I am going to make it public."

The Zhang Duiyi siblings previously didn't know which three Martial Combat stage geniuses Weng Ting had invited.

But Xiao Qibo happened to meet Hua Meixi on the road.

And Hua Meixi thought Xiao Qibo was destined to know Sikong Jing was invited, so she told him about Sikong Jing in advance and warned him to keep it secret... this was Duanmu Chun's order.

That's why there were later disdain and all sorts of sabotaging comments, but now Xiao Qibo was abandoned, so he wanted to vengefully inform Yang Zhi, even make it public to everyone who wanted Sikong Jing dead.

However, just as Xiao Qibo was maliciously determined, a deep voice fell heavily, "Xiao Qibo, are you sure you want to speak?"

In the heat of the moment, Xiao Qibo replied without hesitation, "Yes, I intend to make public..."

At this point, Xiao Qibo suddenly realized, staring wide-eyed at the person who descended.

It was none other than… Duanmu Chun!

Instantly, Xiao Qibo's entire face looked bewildered. How was Duanmu Chun here… But he quickly realized, Weng Ting had previously received a message from Duanmu Chun; he was negotiating something with Pei Feishan.

It made perfect sense for him to be nearby.

Slap!

The next moment, Duanmu Chun slapped Xiao Qibo hard across the face, coldly shouting, "Looking down on Sikong Jing is one thing, boasting about him doesn't matter to me, but now you intend to defy my order."

"Fine, now come with me to find your master."

After saying this, Duanmu Chun dragged Xiao Qibo along, swiftly leaving.

Xiao Qibo trembled uncontrollably with fear.

But the next moment, he still unwillingly said, "Great Dominator Technique, Sky Wolf bastard in the Spiritual Shadow Array didn't care whether I lived or died, how could I tolerate him? Even if I did something, it would be justifiable."

Duanmu Chun's eyes became even colder, slowly saying, "Would it have turned out this way if you didn't look down on people from the start? Besides, Sikong Jing had already discerned the number and targets of the assassins, it was right for him not to help you…"

"He knew from the start that there were three assassins around Hua Meixi, he naturally helped Hua Meixi first."

The assassins' target was Hua Meixi, so even if Xiao Qibo hadn't looked down on others, Sikong Jing should still prioritize Hua Meixi.

Not to mention one assassin, Xiao Qibo could handle it, overall priorities must be considered.

After speaking, Duanmu Chun knocked Xiao Qibo unconscious, too weary of listening to his nonsense.

In the next instant, his gaze turned towards the direction of the Divine Shuttle Ship, softly murmuring, "Weng Ting, now you gradually understand why I said Sikong Jing was a surprise, right?"

Thinking back to Weng Ting's attitude towards Sikong Jing and her forceful ways against the steward Old Ling, Duanmu Chun was very satisfied.

"Sikong Jing can even handle the Shadow Control Realm, even relying on an assassin's crossbow still is impressively surprising."

"How much more power is this kid hiding?"

Everything that happened earlier, Duanmu Chun had secretly observed, becoming increasingly attentive and even delighted by Sikong Jing.

As for the negotiation with Pei Feishan, it had just concluded.

At this moment, Yao Yulou had already pursued towards the Divine Shuttle Ship where Sikong Jing and Weng Ting were, ready to inform them of the negotiation result.

...

The Divine Shuttle Ship carrying Weng Ting and Sikong Jing sped towards their destination, East Spirit City.

On the deck at this time, as things had slightly calmed down, Weng Ting curiously asked Sikong Jing about the Shiyu Assassin matter… she still didn't know why the Shiyu Assassin appeared in her Spiritual Shadow Array.

The previous message from Duanmu Chun was just too brief.

Regarding this, Sikong Jing gave a wry smile and said softly, "Apologies everyone, the Shiyu Assassins were likely targeting me initially because I killed Pei Fenqing..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Duiyi and Zhang Duiyin immediately understood, Pei Fenqing's death caused quite a stir, of course they knew.

Here, Hua Meixi again asked, "But why did I feel they were targeting me?"
