Chapter 2827 — Yang Qiqi Driven Away
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I wonder how she's faring. She's a girl all on her own—I hope nothing's happened to her," Zhao Qilei said with a sigh.
They were still talking when footsteps sounded outside the safe zone, and after a moment a figure walked in. Who should it be but the very Yang Qiqi they had been looking for?
Zhao Qilei was overjoyed. "Qiqi, you're here too? Wonderful—our little group is finally all together, only the leader is missing!"
But before Yang Qiqi could open her mouth to answer, Dark Night Palace Disciple A asked coldly, "This place belongs to Brother Pao, Zhang Naipao. If you want to rest here, you must hand over a trial spirit herb. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to leave!"
"A trial spirit herb?" Yang Qiqi was taken aback. "I don't have one. How did this place become Zhang Naipao's territory? Isn't this..."
"Hmph. Our Brother Pao was the first to arrive, so naturally he claimed the place. If you want to come in, hand over a trial spirit herb; if not, then get lost!" Dark Night Palace Disciple A said coldly.
"She's with us. She's just a girl—why must you make things difficult for her?" Feng Shihua could not stand by any longer. He rose to his feet and said to the two Dark Night Palace disciples, "We've already handed over the trial spirit herbs of everyone in our group. Isn't that enough?"
"Yours is yours, hers is hers." Dark Night Palace Disciple B, now that Zhang Naipao had his back, did not regard Feng Shihua in the least. "This is the rule Brother Pao laid down. No special treatment just because of a difference in sex. If you're unhappy with it, you can go argue it out with Brother Pao!" he said blandly.
"This..." Feng Shihua went livid with anger. He glanced at Zhang Naipao, wanting to fly into a rage but not daring to, and could only force himself to say patiently, "Zhang Naipao, formidable as you are, surely you needn't go this far."
"What have I done? Must I show mercy to an enemy's underling? She's not my underling!" Zhang Naipao said disdainfully. "If you were my underlings, then of course I'd make allowances. But you're not, so on what grounds do you speak to me of this? Very well—if she insists on coming in, then I'll simply have to kill her. This is the rule I set, and it cannot be changed!"
"You..." Feng Shihua was left speechless. He hesitated a moment, then said, "Then let me trade places with her, all right? I'll go, and let her come in?"
"Hey, since when is there such a thing as trading places? If I set that precedent, then the next fellow will swap with the one after him, and once they've rested their fill they'll swap again—am I running a charity here? Are you brain-dead?" Zhang Naipao rejected it outright. "Spare me the useless talk!"
"Forget it. I was planning to go elsewhere anyway, and since Wei Zhao isn't here, I'll be on my way." Yang Qiqi, seeing Zhang Naipao's true colors, was furious beyond words, but she had been taking abuse ever since she arrived, so she had grown somewhat used to it.
"Oh? You're going elsewhere?" Feng Shihua was slightly startled. "Where will you go? Won't you stay here and wait for Brother Lin—for Young Hero Lin—to arrive?"RS
