Chapter 88 - 32.2 - AhXiao is special (1/2)

A/N: Will delete this after WPC ends.

So... this author has a favour to ask from dear readers. Can you guys support my other stories which I entered in WPC? It is called Bewitched [BL] on WPC #99 and Call me Daddy! on WPC #100. Both are BL. I can't promise to give you guys mass updates right away in return, but if I do win, I will do daily release starting in March, for one whole month. I really need those coins to unlock TKA novel Q.Q I haven't finished reading it yet.

Sincerely,

Your Author.

Xue Rui once again found himself being thrown onto the matted floor. Not long after, he saw Li Xinwen crouching down above his head, a happy smile on his face. ”Rui- ge , are you done?” Li Xinwen asked as he playfully pats Xue Rui's cheek. ”How about we go for another round?” Li Xinwen suggested.

”A-another round?” Xue Rui stared at Li Xinwen with disbelief. ”Xinwen... we've been doing this for four times already... My body is feeling sore, can we have a rest?” Xue Rui asked in a pleading tone, trying to incite the pity from Li Xinwen.

”Rest? Rui- ge , in the future, when we're against the zombies... do you think you can ask them for rest?” Li Xinwen asked before he flicked Xue Rui on the forehead. ”Now hurry and get up. Let's go for another round.”

Li Xinwen stood up and went to his position. In the training hall, the rest of the students of the school was also sparring, and Li Xinwen only managed to occupy a small corner. It was just enough space for him to play around with Xue Rui. Of course, even if he was just playing around, he still earnestly give Xue Rui some pointer. It was just that, even if Xue Rui tried to use other moves, Li Xinwen has already figured out his next ten moves.

At the end of their fifth round, Xue Rui once more found himself staring at the ceiling, his back lay flat on the floor.

”Alright, looks like you are really tired now. Go and have some drink. We'll go at it again after ten minutes break,” Li Xinwen told Xue Rui, much to Xue Rui's happiness.

On the other side of the training hall, the arrogant student whom they met at the entrance from before, approached Chen Jingguo. ”Master, why is he here?”

”I don't know. He must've tricked your grandmaster or else, he wouldn't have left unscathed,” Chen Jingguo replied. When he saw the student approaching him, he had set up a barrier so that none of their conversations would be heard by Li Xinwen.

”He's strong, but that guy he brought along is too weak. Master, how about we just-”

”Hmph! If you want to cause trouble, just make sure you don't get found out. As long as there is no proof, you are innocent,” Chen Jingguo simply said before he waved his hand, dismissing the student. The arrogant student left and Chen Jingguo continued to look at Li Xinwen's direction throughout the training sessions. Soon, the morning practice is over and it was time for them to have lunch.

Li Xinwen and Xue Rui returned to Min Shaotian's personal courtyard for lunch and saw that the four people who are in closed-door seclusion have yet to come out. So they simply went back to the room where Min Shaotian brought them before. He didn't care much about Xue Jun and Min Xiaoyu. To him, they are already an a.d.u.l.t that doesn't need a lot of guidance. But Sun Xiao is different. Though he did teach the boy basic knowledge of cultivation, and even trained with him, Sun Xiao has yet to reach even the first stage of the Initial Stage in Body Transformation. 'Though I have warned him, I still feel uneasy...'

”Xinwen? What's wrong?” Xue Rui noticed that Li Xinwen's eyes were not focused and that he wasn't even touching his food.

When Li Xinwen heard Xue Rui's voice, he just sighed and poked on his food with his chopstick. ”Just worried about Ah 'Xiao...” he replied. ”Hopefully, he could handle the process of his meridian gates being opened.”

”I'm sure he could. Your brother is stronger than you think. When you were in an accident, he was the reason why your mother didn't collapse. His mental growth might be a bit slow though, but that was only due to his trauma. Today though, he seems to have changed considerably. Before, he wouldn't even talk to strangers but when I see how he acts earlier, it felt like he has become normal,” Xue Rui told Li Xinwen.

” Ah' Xiao is normal. There is nothing wrong with him, Rui- ge . He only lacked confidence and guidance,” Li Xinwen replied, his tone contains slight anger.

”You know that's not I meant, Xinwen...” Xue Rui noticed Li Xinwen's tone and quickly tried to appease him. ”Maybe that last sentence came out as rude but, that is what the PTSD specialist diagnosed him with. After that traumatic experience where he lost his parents, he had shown symptoms of autism.”

” Ah 'Xiao is not abnormal. He's special,” Li Xinwen cut off Xue Rui.

After that, Xue Rui didn't dare to say anything else and Li Xinwen also enjoys the quietness as they eat.

Meanwhile, Sun Xiao was having a painful experience. His eyes closed, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweats. His body felt as if they are being torn apart. Black fluids continued to seep out of the pores of his skins, staining his clothes. Just as he felt that he was about to pass out from the pain, he suddenly felt everything surrounding him change.
