Chapter 826: Chapter 830: The Fourth Trial 3
Gaiyin was not discouraged, feeling certain that they had not been careful enough just now, so he asked everyone to search again, paying attention to every nook and cranny.
They set out once more, and Young Master Bai Que, too embarrassed to just stand by and watch, let the members of his team join in the search as well.
From the moment Bai Ling was transported to The Fourth Round Test, she had been awake.
The back of her head had been faintly throbbing with pain up to now, teetering on the edge of exploding.
Just moments ago, she had been following Young Master Bai Que’s confused orders, nonsensically searching throughout the Cave without finding anything.
And now they wanted her to search again!
It was the last straw that broke the camel’s back; Bai Ling couldn’t hold back her outburst once more!
"Search, search, search, what’s there to look for? You are all a bunch of cowards. We’ve come through the first three rounds of tests, are you still afraid of this mere Fourth Round Test? If you don’t dare to go in, I will!"
As she spoke, Bai Ling raised her head and puffed out her chest, striding valorously towards the first Cave.
Xuan Shui grabbed Bai Ling’s arm, "Young Master Bai Ling, for your safety, please follow us."
"Let go of me, you piece of trash!"
Bai Ling violently shook off her arm and rolled her eyes at Xuan Shui.
Xuan Shui wasn’t annoyed, and tried to grab Bai Ling again, but was stopped by Young Master Bai Que.
"Xuan Shui, come back." He snorted coldly and scoffed, "Don’t bother with her. She’s a brainless idiot herself and still has the gall to insult others. Since she’s so eager to court death, let her be."
With that remark,
Yadang let out a cooperative snort, akin to the sound of a pig’s squeal.
Xuan Tian, too, stood behind Young Master Bai Que, nudging his chin towards Xuan Shui.
"Exactly, big bro, don’t bother with her. Let’s just follow Young Master Bai Que. I believe that the young master will surely become the successor of the Wood Immortal Mansion."
Xuan Tian’s words were met with eye rolls from several people around them.
Yadang, not one to let things slide, immediately shot back without any courtesy.
"What are you dreaming about? He could become the successor? Are your eyes smeared with crap?"
Xuan Tian’s face turned red with anger, and his finger trembled uncontrollably as he pointed at Yadang.
"You are utterly vulgar!"
Yadang smirked disdainfully, "You’re the strong one? I didn’t see you answering any questions in the Points cabin, did I? Didn’t you rely entirely on my sister?"
Knowing he was at a loss for words, Xuan Tian breathed heavily and stood behind Young Master Bai Que, ignoring Yadang.
Young Master Bai Que, however, seemed unaffected by Yadang’s words, neither angry nor agitated.
Gaiyin couldn’t help but regard him with newfound respect.
Bai Ling, who had been ignored for quite a while, stood hesitantly on the spot.
The gazes directed at her were filled with curiosity, mockery, and the excitement of watching a spectacle.
Bai Ling couldn’t help but grip the Muxian Order at her waist tightly in secret.
Her gaze gradually became resolute.
In the end, she made up her mind.
With a decisive stride, she walked towards the first Cave.
Just one second before she could step into the entrance, she suddenly stopped.
And with that halt, there was a long silence without movement.
Yadang waved his hand and sighed, "Tsk—thought you had some guts, turns out you’re scared to go in too, huh!"
Bai Ling clenched her fists, turned around, and stared intently at Yadang, her eyes rimmed red with anger.
"Who says I’m scared!"
"Then go ahead and enter if you dare!"
The voice surprisingly belonged to Bai Que.
Bai Ling’s breathing became rapid, and her long nails dug deeply into the flesh of her palm.
Humiliation and pain continuously provoked Bai Ling’s mind.
