End of the month tournament (2)

Chapter 90

(Unedited)

…

The men wanted to blame someone but the person they wanted to blame is already gone, so who would they blame this incident? Plus the elder who should have saved them is already in a state where his whole body is very weak that he could not even use his Qi.

This strange incident would almost point to Xin Wei, but he is not within this crowd and is currently standing beside a smiling young woman.

…

"What happened there?" She asked while pointing her pouting lips to the place where the people are crowding.

"I don't know, I just arrive remember…" I told her.

Seeing a slight commotion, she just shook her head and then looks at the stage.

"I'm a bit nervous… This is my last chance to try my luck. My brother has been delaying the inevitable…" she muttered in a low voice.

Her gentle smile is slowly being covered with the coldness in her heart.

"If… If I did not pass the assessment, I will be thrown to be a servant… My brother saved me last time by asking for another chance… But I guess this would not happen anymore. The uncles in the blacksmithing ground did all they could for me, even my brother. I can only blame my uselessness for being unable to practice Qi." she said in a low tone.

Suddenly, a handsome young man appears and walks beside us.

"Are ready to be my servant little Fenfen… Hehe…" the handsome young man said with a sly smile on his face.

He then looks at me and smirked.

"Even if you stand by her side, she would not be spared. And you… I will make sure that you would not interfere with my plans…" the young man said as he walks past us.

I did not say anything and just watches the clown walk. If I really wanted to, I could break that young man into two without even breaking a sweat. But I'm not someone who bullies those that are weaker than me or shows off my strength without thinking of the consequences.

I already have a plan and I would not deter from it just because of a simple provocation. But of course, if he truly seeks his death, then who am I not to grant it to him?

I look at Zhao Fen and the image and figure of my childhood friend, Lin Qiao seems to have overlapped with her in front of my eyes.

I did not know why, but maybe it is my regret that leads me to think this way. My deepest remorse and guilt leads me in saving a few women from before and now it is showing me the same thing again.

"Is this the way you taunt me… Sister Qiao? Is this the way you are telling on how to live my life? Is this how you want me to repay what happened to you?" I thought as I watch slight depression coming over to Zhao Fen's smiling face.

"Sigh… I guess I can also help a little…" I thought. I could tell that the brother and sister pair… are good people.

They befriended me at that time and did not expect anything from me. I could also tell how those blacksmiths in the workshop are teaching with their hearts and willingness.

Unlike Old Chang who seems to be brewing some sinister plan always, these people are kind by nature.

"Do you… trust me?" I asked in a low voice.

The expression of Zhao Fen seems a bit surprised, but she did not hesitate to nod her head.

"I am not well acquainted with Brother Chou, but I know that you are a nice guy… So I trust you… But why did you ask?" she said as the smile came back to her face.

"Do you want to reach the 1st level, right? I will help you…"

Upon hearing my words, she felt a bit surprised but just nodded her head.

"Follow everything I tell you and do not let your mind wander, okay?"

Upon hearing this, she nodded her head.

"Do not show any obvious signs… extend your palm secretly and face it towards me," I said in a hushed tone.

I could tell that Zhao Fen is feeling a bit confused but she still followed what I said. She carefully extended her palm on her side and faces it towards me. From there, I slowly lowered my hand and touch her palm.

"I will tell you a way to get to 1st level Qi Practice… And this is the flow pattern…" I said as I twirl my finger in her palm in a counterclockwise manner.

I could tell that she seems a bit hesitant and I could even tell a blush coming from her cheeks. But I did not have any time to think about anything else at this time.

"Now, I will inject something from your back. Follow the flow as it enters your body… Do it now…" I whispered.

After saying that, I have already touched her back and a warm feeling flows out of my hand. I could see my Qi stats slowly changing.

When 1 point of Qi was deducted I quickly stopped.

I could see the expression of Zhao Fen changing as she slowly follows my guidance. But it seems that something is wrong as I could see her suddenly sweating profusely.

I did not care about anything at this point as I suddenly grabbed her wrist. From there I could tell the chaotic flow of Qi inside her body.

"This girl, she was too distracted…" I thought.

I knew that it happened when I suddenly touched her back. So I quickly gather another 1 point of my Qi stats and used it to guide the chaotic Qi in her body.

As it revolves, I guided it to flow towards her dantian.

I did not know if she would be able to manifest a dantian in her body or if she has spiritual roots, but if she does, then this would be an easy feat. If she does not, then she could only blame her physique.

As the Qi gathers in her dantian, I carefully observed the slowly coagulating Qi.

"Come on… form… just form a dantian…" I prayed in my heart.

Soon, I saw that something is actually forming within her body. It is actually a dantian, and the Qi energy inside of it seems to be very cold.

"Wind and water element…" I muttered as I observe her dantian.

She seems to have reached level 1, so I stopped.

As I retracted my concentration from inside her body, I noticed the face of Zhao Fen already beat red. I then realized that I have been touching her back and her wrist while my body is a bit closer to her.

I suddenly retracted my hand from her back and stepped a back little, I then said in a low voice.

"Sorry…"

"Do not show it yet. Try to circulate the energy in your body from your navel to your palm, see if you can feel it."

I still did not release my hand on her wrist.

As she did so, she immediately feels the sensation as I guide her through.

"Congratulations… But do not show it yet. Wait for the right time when you are already touching the machine." I warned.

She nodded her head in agreement.

…

While this is happening, a pair of eyes are glaring at Xin Wei and Zhao Fen. These eyes belong to the young man who haughtily warned her a while ago.

The act that was happening in this part did not escape his eyes and viewed it as the two are flirting in public. He saw the expression of Zhao Fen and in his own opinion; Xin Wei is doing something lewd on her, that's why she is showing such expression.

Though Zhao Fen is not that beautiful, yet he chose her to make her brother suffer humiliation. And since he has already chosen her, then he viewed her as his own private property and no one should touch her other than him.

Seeing that scene, his anger boiled to the extreme that he wanted to kill that audacious man who steps in his dignity.

"I want him dead…" he whispered to the person beside him.

A quiet man who is standing like a tall spear beside the young man nodded his head. Then he looks at Xin Wei and showed a serious expression on his face.

At this time, there are a few Outer Sect disciples which have been called and have been tested.

Many have failed and only a few have passed.

Those who failed showed dejected looks on their faces as they walk down the stage. At this time, the name of Zhao Fen was called upon the stage.

When her name was called, a few eyes landed on her.

This is because they are all eyeing her.

She is the only weakness of Zhao Bojing, the mountain. If they can get her as their servant, then they can suppress that big guy.

Hence as Zhao Fen walks on the stage it has already gathered the attention of many people.

When she was on the stage, she suddenly turns around and then looks in a certain direction then nodded her head.
