Chapter 249: Chapter 250: Conjecture
Su Tang snorted a laugh, thinking Xionger was scared.
"You need to learn to hold back, be more mindful when you’re messing around. Xiongda needs to rest for a few days, he can’t go hunting with you guys."
Xionger hurriedly nodded, "No worries, Lady of Virtue, I will take good care of Xiongda and won’t let him do any work!"
Just then, Lini walked over from a distance. Seeing Xiongda unconscious on the ground, he asked, "What happened to the cub?"
Xionger, with a somber expression and head bowed, confessed obediently, "I was fighting with Xiongda, I accidentally punched him and he stopped moving. Lady of Virtue said that he will be fine after lying down for a while, but he needs to rest for a few days."
Lini frowned, remained silent, but squatted down to carefully check on Xiongda from the other side.
After a while, he lifted his head to look at Xionger, skepticism in his tone, "You did this?"
Xionger quickly nodded, but probably fearing Lini might blame him, he hurriedly defended himself, "I really didn’t use a lot of force, just as when we usually fight! I don’t know why he suddenly can’t take a hit."
Lini raised an eyebrow, walked over to Xionger, and clamped down on his arm, "Does this hurt?"
Xionger shook his head, "No, it doesn’t hurt."
Lini suddenly used more force, "What about now?"
Xionger yelled out, almost jumping off the ground, "Let go, let go quickly, don’t touch my arm~"
Lini laughed and let go of Xionger’s arm.
Xionger quickly held his injured arm and hid behind Gaiyin, watching Lini vigilantly.
Gaiyin looked at Xionger’s terrified expression and sighed silently in his heart.
Then he shifted his gaze to Lini, and asked inexplicably, "Are you sure?"
Lini shook his head and said indifferently, "Let’s try again."
Su Tang, Shield Mountain, and Liu Ye all looked confused.
None of them understood what the two men were talking about.
Lini gestured to Xionger, "Cub, come over to your father!"
Xionger shook his head in terror, "What are you planning to do to me, I’m not coming over!"
Lini was helpless.
He scanned the surroundings, his eyes settled on a huge rock by the stream not far away.
He pointed to that rock and told Xionger, "Cub, go and lift that rock!"
Xionger widened his eyes in disbelief.
"You want me to lift that huge rock!? I can’t do it! Even Xiongda and I together can’t do it!"
Xionger shook his head and waved his hands, refusing to go at all costs.
Su Tang seemed to see a glimmer of hope, looking excitedly at Gaiyin.
Gaiyin smiled and nodded at her.
Su Tang was even more excited now!
She jumped to Xionger’s side, pushing him to go, "You go and try! I believe you can do it! Liu Ye also believes you can do it! Right, Liu Ye?"
Liu Ye, completely befuddled, nodded, "Yes!"
Xionger suddenly blushed.
He hesitated and acted coyly, like a young wife, "Liu Ye, do you really think I can do it?"
Although Liu Ye didn’t think he could do it, faced with his expectant gaze, something stirred within her heart, and she involuntarily nodded.
With the affirmation from his sweetheart, Xionger felt a surge of strength filling him. Even though his limbs were sore and weak, he ignored it all.
With a burst of energy, he walked over to a rock that was about a head taller than him, opened his arms, tightly holding both sides, lift with all his might!
