Chapter 852: Chapter 857 Transition 7
Seeing the familiar figures in the room, Bai Que fell silent for a moment. "..."
Unlike them, covered with wounds and looking quite wretched, Gaiyin and the others hardly had any injuries. Only Xi’en looked a bit pale, but the rest were not seriously hurt.
Yadang, who was originally propping up his head, almost dozing off, suddenly became alert upon seeing the four people who appeared in the room.
He stood up, waving at Bai Que and the others with the cheerfulness of an old madam from an ancient brothel.
"Oh my! You’ve finally come out, we’ve had such a tough time waiting for you! Hurry, hurry, go exchange your items, and then we can move onto the next round of trials."
Bai Que’s face darkened, veins on his forehead bulging, and his hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.
Pretending not to see this, Yadang lightly stamped his foot and pointed at Bai Que, "What are you spacing out for? Go on, time is so precious, how can we waste it?"
Su Tang could hardly bear to watch, cupping her forehead while she tried unsuccessfully to suppress a smile.
It seemed her brother had quite a talent for acting; with just a little guidance from her, he had pinned down the attitude perfectly.
Watching Yadang speak such lowly words with such a serious face made Bai Que very frustrated, and he felt a stifling irritance at his chest that he couldn’t dispel.
Bai Que stared at Yadang with a dark gaze, "Why are you here?"
"Where else could we be? Stop standing around, if we don’t go exchange our items soon, the Points Exchange Hut will close!"
Yadang acted as if he didn’t understand what Bai Que was talking about, which made Bai Que’s barely suppressed frustration flare up again rapidly.
Bai Que’s face changed colors, and his teeth were grinding audibly.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Xuan Shui came up behind him and quietly whispered something in his ear.
"Young master..."
The brief whisper pulled Bai Que’s rationality back to reality, and the violent aura around him subsided significantly.
He gave Yadang a deep look, said nothing, and led the remaining teammates past them toward the Points Hut.
After they entered the hut, Su Tang blinked curiously and pulled on Gaiyin’s hand, "Just now Bai Que looked like he was about to explode, how did he suddenly become so calm?"
She knew without asking that it definitely had to do with what Xuan Shui had just whispered.
But without a superpower, she had not heard a word of what Xuan Shui had said to Bai Que.
However, her lack of hearing did not mean that Gaiyin hadn’t heard.
Gaiyin’s lips curled slightly, "No matter how upset he is, he has to endure it. He’s relying on you to help them exchange for the second volume of the Advanced Cultivation Technique."
Su Tang had a sudden realization, "Oh! I almost forgot about that."
Then she began to guess excitedly, "Do you think they would’ve exchanged for the Satiety Pill and Primordial Power Pill if it weren’t for Ballball’s reminder?"
Gaiyin replied, "This round, the Points Exchange Hut mainly stocks Satiety and Primordial Power Pills, along with some Herbs that are uncommon but can also be found outside. Bai Que isn’t stupid; he knows what to choose."
Yadang nodded in agreement, "Right, from their appearance just now, it seemed like they had already used the reward items. Having tasted the benefits, how could they possibly overlook such precious Pills?"
"That’s true, mainly because there are too few items available for exchange this round, it’s too obvious. Otherwise, they might have been fooled again."
