Chapter 2538
2538 A fence-sitter
Feng lengsong fell silent and did not speak. Looking at him, everyone knew that he would definitely not stand up for the ethereal sect residence. Even if he did, he would definitely not be Qin shaozhong’s match.
“Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have handed over one Jade plate. Now I have to hand over half, how unlucky.” Some of the disciples from the other aristocratic families complained in a low voice.
They had originally been prepared to give in, but when they saw Zi Yin and ye Xiaoqi step out, and Jie Feiying and Zhuo fanglin arrive in time, they hesitated. They had wanted to see the results of the battle and make a decision, but who knew that before situ kuangjian and Zhuo fanglin could decide who would win, Qin shaozhong had come again and wanted to snatch half of their Jade tokens.
Even Feng lengsong didn’t dare to be Qin shaozhong’s enemy, so they didn’t have the courage to do so. Each and every one of them was secretly regretting it. If they had known this would happen, they wouldn’t have mingled with those people from the ethereal sect residence. Now, they had lost half of their spots for the experiential learning. Those who knew that their strength was inferior to their fellow disciples and would definitely lose the opportunity to gain experience looked at Zi Yin and the others with resentment.
“Actually, I didn’t want to go this far, but I have a grudge with these people from the ethereal sect residence. Since you guys want to be on the same side as them, don’t blame me.” Qin shaozhong continued.
“Young lord Qin, we have nothing to do with the ethereal sect residence. We’re just travelling along the way. We’re willing to hand over a Jade token, and we’ll follow your arrangements for this experiential learning.” The people behind Zi Yin weren’t stupid. They immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Qin shaozhong’s words and said in a flattering manner.
“Alright then, since you’ve said so, I’ll give you a chance.” Qin shaozhong nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Many thanks, young lord Qin.” The man was overjoyed and immediately stood behind Qin shaozhong with a few of his fellow disciples. The one with the lowest strength naturally handed over his Jade card and left dejectedly.
“Young lord Qin, we’re also willing to hand over a Jade token and follow your arrangements.” Immediately, the others behind Zi Yin also expressed their stance and handed over a Jade token to stand behind Qin shaozhong.
Very quickly, other than Zi Yin, Ye Xiaoqi, and that bamboo stream valley disciple called song ke, only the few martial cultivators from the Rong family remained standing. The others had all changed sides. Even Feng lengsong took a small step forward and stood beside Qin shaozhong.
“Junior Sister Zi, Junior Sister ye, it’s only you two left. Are you going to hand over half of your Jade plates, or are you going to fight me? By the way, do you still remember my suggestion? you can consider it again. ” Qin shaozhong said to Zi Yin and ye Xiaoqi, unable to hide his smug expression.
The others didn’t know what Qin shaozhong meant, but Zi Yin and ye Xiaoqi did.
“Shameless!” The two of them cursed in unison.
“Humph, I chose you because I think highly of you. Don’t be ungrateful, or else, I won’t even leave you half of the Jade plates!” Qin shaozhong said with a cold expression.
He had long harbored evil thoughts towards Zi Yin and her brother. If Ling Chuxi had not stopped him the last time, he would have long since succeeded. It just so happened that Ling Chuxi was not around today, so he would not miss this opportunity no matter what.
However, in front of so many people, he was too embarrassed to forcefully take the two away. He had to find an excuse.
“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because martial uncle Ling isn’t here. When martial uncle Ling comes, you won’t even know how you died. ” Ye Xiaoqi said angrily.
