"No one?" Yu Shan had not turned on the light, but by the glow from the plaza beyond the window he could see clearly into the room. Cultivators had sharper eyes and ears than ordinary folk, so Yu Shan could tell at a glance that there was no one in the room at all.
What Yu Shan could see, Feng Nitian naturally could see as well. There were no cabinets or the like in the room in which to hide, and the bed frame was of closed wooden construction, so no one could be hidden beneath it.
"Is there anyone in the bathroom?" Feng Nitian asked.
Yu Shan opened the bathroom door and glanced inside, then shook his head. "No one either..."
Feng Nitian casually turned on the room light. This time he could see even more clearly. There was indeed no one at all in the room.
"Not here?" Feng Nitian was somewhat disappointed. He had gone to the trouble of circulating the mantra and the technique for nothing, and in the end had not even had the chance to unleash it.
"Could he be in Ling Yi's room next door? My cousin and Ling Yi are on very good terms. He is always going over to his place!" Yu Shan guessed.
"That is possible too." Feng Nitian nodded.
"Then... shall we go next door? In for a penny, in for a pound. Why not finish Ling Yi off as well?" A trace of viciousness flashed through Yu Shan's eyes. "Anyway, Brother Nitian, your effective range is three meters. Within three meters, no matter how many people there are, they cannot move. Let us kill Ling Yi too!"
"That won't do!" Hearing that Yu Shan wanted to kill Ling Yi as well, Feng Nitian shook his head.
"Why not?" Yu Shan was slightly taken aback.
"Ling Yi is the one Zhang Naipao named by name as his target. If I move against him, that amounts to meddling in another's business!" Feng Nitian waved his hand. "Besides, I hear Zhang Naipao does not even want to kill Ling Yi outright. He wants to keep Ling Yi alive so that a certain Brother Liang of his can finish him off with his own hands. So if I kill Ling Yi now, that would be making an enemy of Zhang Naipao!"
"We would be doing him a favor, so surely it would be fine? Besides, Brother Nitian, are you afraid of Zhang Naipao?" Yu Shan pressed him, unwilling to give up.
"It isn't fear. It is that I do not wish to offend him over this." How could Feng Nitian fail to see through Yu Shan's little provocation? But he did not take the bait at all. "We are all people of the ancient level. Making enemies among ourselves is meaningless!"
"I see..." Yu Shan was instantly overcome with disappointment. "Then we simply let it go?"
"Rest easy. During the trial, I will settle it for you! Though we cannot put anyone to death in the trial, crippling someone is no problem at all. So long as he has a breath left in him, it does not count as breaking the rules. Turning him into a cripple, isn't that just as good as removing the threat to you?" Feng Nitian laughed indifferently.
"That is true!" Yu Shan's heart was set at ease at once. "Then I will trouble you, Brother Nitian! The matter of dealing with Yu Bing is in your hands!"
"A trifle!" Feng Nitian nodded, and the two of them withdrew from Yu Bing's room...
