84 Being Hones (1/2)

Mei Chao Bing hadn't intended anything with his words but the other three couldn't help but feel awkward after he finished. Only Yun Bei Fen looked up at him and then patted his arm. ”It's only because everyone's blind. You're obviously such a good person. I'm sure they'll see that as well in the future.”

Mei Chao Bing smiled and rubbed his little bunny's head. ”Mn, you're certainly right. It's not that I'm ungrateful. In fact, I'm very happy about today. It makes me feel that things aren't as hopeless as I thought they were for a long time.” He sighed and glanced back at the stone desert.

Looking at the other three people, there was a faint sense of hope. Even though he had always thought that he didn't need anybody else other than Yun Bei Fen and maybe his Master, that didn't mean that he wanted to be alone. No, if he could have a good relationship with the others, then he would very much prefer that.

Maybe their dealings before had been too shallow so they hadn't known him good enough to judge his character. Now, he wouldn't have those so-called friends anymore just because he was the favorite disciple of his Master. No, now that his Master wasn't in the picture anymore and was even the black stain on his life, he could make friends for his character alone. Wouldn't that be better? But if he wanted that, then he'd have to be honest from the very beginning or it'd result in problems.

Mei Chao Bing furrowed his brows and finally gave a sigh. He had originally planned to go about this in another way but seeing how these three acted, he felt that he hadn't thought far enough. Maybe it would be alright if he was just careful. Anyway, if he wanted to know, he could only take another leap of faith. Either it worked out … or he would just be with only his little bunny again. It would still be worth it.

He calmed down thinking like that and turned to look back at the others. ”I'm not sure if I should say this. Just that … Everybody already knows what happened with my Master but I don't think they want to consider that he might very well be standing on the other side this time. It could be that we'll have some run-ins while on this mission.”

Gongsun Chen slowed down until he flew next to Mei Chao Bing and Yun Bei Fen. ”You're right about that. But don't worry too much though. Today, Kui Min was with you. The next time around, she can also accompany you and Yun Bei Fen. That way, even if something happens, nobody will be able to blame you.”

Mei Chao Bing raised his brows. ”Are you sure that's a good idea? My cultivation base is higher than …” His lips twitched and he raised a hand. ”No offense. Just … I don't know if it wouldn't be better to have her go with one of you.” He cursed himself inside and cleared his throat. ”You're the head of the group. You decide.”

Gongsun Chen gave a wry smile. ”If not because you took your sweet time coming here, there's no way you wouldn't be the head of this group instead.”

Mei Chao Bing shook his head. ”I doubt it. Even if you wouldn't have anything against that, some of the people would certainly want to say something about it.”

Before Gongsun Chen could react, Yun Bei Fen gave a huff. ”It's all that Yang Wu Huang's fault!”

Mei Chao Bing almost laughed. It seemed that his little bunny had deemed Yang Wu Huang to be the only black sheep in their Teng Yong Sect. ”Well, I guess he might be one of those people but he certainly isn't the only one. It's not completely wrong of them either. If they have to fear that I might betray the sect, then I shouldn't be given a task that will require the others to put all of their trust in me. It would be better to let somebody else lead the group and just let me tag along.”
