Chapter 449 - Somebody Better than Him (1/2)

Leng Jin Yu stared at him, his gaze wavering. What was he supposed to do now? He had to talk to this person but never mind that the other already hated him, he wasn't in a presentable state either. ”Senior Xin …”

It would have been better had he not said anything. Xin Lan already had had trouble keeping his emotions in check. When the person he wanted to rip apart actually dared to speak to him, the thin thread of rationality he had still held onto finally snapped. His nails turned into claws and he went right for Leng Jin Yu's face.

Leng Jin Yu wanted to dodge but he had already had trouble contending with an enraged Qiu Ling. Evading Xin Lan … The wind generated by the hit reached him and he could only tense his muscles. Well, he certainly deserved this hit.

”Xin Lan!” The voice behind him had a certain urgency to it. ”I just patched him up.”

Xin Lan halted, his claws only a hair's breadth away from Leng Jin Yu's face. He gnashed his teeth and finally grabbed him by the shoulder, pushing him out of the way. ”You better leave now!” He stepped into the room, his chest undulating with heavy breaths, and slammed the door shut.

Leng Jin Yu stared at the tightly closed door and felt at a loss. Just what was happening? He didn't understand anymore. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and really left. He had no place staying here. He had already done too much.

Inside the room, Xin Lan forced himself to calm down before walking over to Jinde's side. He knelt down at his feet and took out another robe. ”Let me help you change.”

Jinde didn't say anything. He just looked at Xin Lan's taut expression. This person was also very important to him. It probably wasn't wrong to say that he was his most important person after Chun Yin. It was a pity that the two had never seen eye-to-eye.

”Master …” Xin Lan finally couldn't take the silence any longer. ”I'm sorry. I just … He hurt you. I guess I wanted to get back at him.”

”It merely stings a bit.” Jinde touched the injury on his shoulder. He could hardly believe that this would be the only thing that remained of his time with Leng Jin Yu today. It certainly wasn't what he had expected.

Xin Lan looked at Jinde's movement and his gaze darkened. ”That's not what I was talking about.”

Jinde sighed but didn't answer. He only pulled the white robe up to his shoulders again.

Xin Lan frowned. ”It ripped. Why not —”

”I don't want to. This is … He clearly liked seeing me in this. I won't change the robe.”

Xin Lan frowned even more. ”It's already like this. You should —”
