Chapter 787 - Not Feeling Well (1/2)

Elder Gongxi wasn't happy when the Yang Huo Sect's disciple had finished reporting what happened outside. He tightened his lips and looked towards the front door. ”The Yun Zou Sect sure is going all out to make us leave. They won't get their way with this though. I hope you all remember your tasks for today.”

The disciples nodded, making the Elder break into a bright smile. ”Well, then let's go and give these two a surprise they won't forget that fast. I'm really interested to see how that Qiu Ling's face will look when he finds out that we're a step ahead of him.”

The disciples exchanged glances and chuckled. With what the Elder was planning, they could imagine that that guy would be livid. But what could he do? They were still the honored guests of the Yun Zou Sect. Even if he wanted to complain, he would have nowhere to run to. After all, the Grandmaster might be able to show some favoritism to his disciple but he couldn't be too blatant. Otherwise, the whole Yun Zou Sect would suffer from it. Especially now that all of the other first-tier sects and even some of the second-tier sects were here.

Elder Gongxi led the disciples to the door and gave Qiu Ling and Jing Yi a smile. ”I'm sorry you had to wait. The disciples are prepared now so we can commence with the duel.”

Qiu Ling smiled. ”That would be great but …” He glanced from Elder Gongxi's face to the door behind him and narrowed his eyes. ”Didn't you forget one of your disciples inside?”

Elder Gongxi froze slightly but his smile didn't collapse. He had expected as much. As the Grandmaster's disciple, this guy certainly had the skills to determine whether there was somebody left in the house or not. ”Ah, yes, one of the disciples isn't feeling well. I'm afraid he won't be able to take part in the duel.”

Qiu Ling gave a hum. ”So it's like that. What a pity. I was really looking forward to dueling all of your disciples.”

Elder Gongxi put on a troubled expression. ”You wouldn't insist on having the duel with him today, would you?”

”Ah, how could that be? Since your disciple isn't well, there's nothing we can do. A delicate person such as this shouldn't be strained too much. That wouldn't be good for their health.”

The disciples behind Elder Gongxi grabbed onto their swords, glaring daggers at Qiu Ling. What was this guy saying again?!

Elder Gongxi shot them a warning glance. He definitely couldn't let these guys make trouble again. He turned back to Qiu Ling and nodded. ”Yes, we'll have to pay some more attention to his training after we get back to the Yang Huo Sect. He hasn't lived up to my expectations this time.”
