“Zhang Zhenshan, I agree to fight with you!”
Just as the two sides were facing each other tensely with drawn swords, and as battle was about to erupt…Bai Yunfei flew out from the crowd. He stood there by the side of Hong Yin, staring at Zhang Zhenshan with a cold look on his face.
His appearance caused both sides to feel startled. Zhang Zhenshan was the first to react. Upon seeing Bai Yunfei, Zhang Zhenshan’s entire body began to shake, and his face began to contort with rage as hatred spat from his eyes. He roared furiously, “Brat, you actually dare to come out! Repay me for my son’s life!”
“I can give you the thing you want.” Bai Yunfei saw that Zhang Zhenshan was about to charge out, and so he said these words calmly. As he did, he glanced sideways out of the corner of his eyes towards Yu Fei, who was behind Zhang Zhenshan.
Yu Fei had been staring at Bai Yunfei speculatively as soon as he had stepped out. Upon hearing Bai Yunfei’s calm words, a light flashed through his eyes. He reached out to stop Zhang Zhenshan, then stared at Bai Yunfei and said, “Kid, what do you mean by that?”
“Both of us know what I mean by that…right?” Bai Yunfei laughed softly. “I agree to duel Zhang Zhenshan by myself, and if I lose, I’ll let you dispose of me as you please, as well as give you the thing you want. But if I win…you must give me back my Glacial Pricker! In addition…this matter has nothing to do with the Green Willow School. In the future, you cannot cause problems for them!”
Yu Fei was slightly startled. He stared at Bai Yunfei for a long time, thoughts flickering through his eyes. Finally, he said in a low voice, “Do you speak the truth?”
Bai Yunfei swept his gaze towards everyone present, then said in a clear voice, “Everyone from the Green Willow School and the Glacial School are present, as well as senior You from the Wood School and the members of the Beast Taming School. They are all witnesses! I shall fight Zhang Zhenshan in a fair battle and resolve our private feud. Who lives and who dies shall depend on each person’s own strength!”
And then, he turned to look at Yu Fei anew. “However…I do have a requirement.”
“What requirement?” Yu Fei raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Seven days. After seven days, we shall gather here again and fight to the death!” Bai Yunfei stared at Yun Fei, saying these words one word at a time.
This time, Yu Fei just pondered for a brief instant before nodding. “Fine! It shall be as you request! Seven days later, we’ll make a wager with lives and the things each of us want. You shall battle our Elder Zhang by yourself! However…you had best not be planning on fleeing. If you do not appear, then I shall consider your debt as now belonging to the Green Willow School.
Bai Yunfei nodded slightly. “So mote it be!”
Yu Fei led the Glacial School’s men in a slow departure. The black-robed man gave Bai Yunfei a reflective glance, then turned and left as well. Yang Lin glanced at Hong Yin with a gaze filled with venomous hatred, but in the end he was unwillingly forced to depart with the black-robed man, slowly disappearing into the distance.
“Yunfei, you were too rash. How can you make an agreement with them like this? The enemy is at the Soul Sprite stage. How can you win…” Hong Yin looked at the silent Bai Yunfei whose head was lowered, then said these words in quite a worried manner.
Mu Wanqing dismissed her disciples, then walked over alongside You Qingfeng to Bai Yunfei. “Indeed, Yunfei. You didn’t have to appear; although they had many experts, we had Hong Yin and Qingfeng on our side. They wouldn’t necessarily have dared to act rashly.”
