They had to follow the alliance if they wanted to find the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. Only the leaders of the alliance knew where it was.
They had found a Night Amethyst, they just needed to look after the little cub. It would be safer for them to stick with the alliance too.
The group followed the markings left by Yassen and the others, who had not traveled too far away. However, when they noticed some of the mages were missing, they knew it was unlikely that those who had not regrouped with them would return.
“You guys are pretty lucky. Every one of you has returned,” Xing Hui smiled at Mo Fan and his crew.
Mo Fan’s team had done the best job at preserving its numbers compared to the other teams. The old Hunters were feeling uneasy about it.
Xing Hui purposely glanced at Mu Ningxue. He wore a strange look as he said, “I know you, I’ve heard about you. I hope you won’t trouble Mu Tingying again.”
Mu Ningxue did not even bother looking at Xing Hui. She treated his words like an insignificant breeze.
Mu Ningxue was the kind of person who did not bother arguing verbally with others. She was used to hearing distorted truths, and would not waste her time correcting them.
Mo Fan, on the other hand, turned around and stared at Xing Hui. “Some people like to think others are stronger than them because of luck. When tigers are kept in cages in a zoo for too long, they will lose the ability to hunt when they return to the wild, not to mention an old dog that only knows to obey its master’s order and bark randomly at people!”
Xing Hui was from the Mu Clan, even though his surname was not Mu.
The Mu Clan had many women with great power, thus many people had married them and lived in their clan to earn their support.
The strange thing was that Xing Hui was a typical man who had married someone from the Mu Clan for his own gains. Everyone who had spent some time in the capital knew how what kind of scum he was. He had abandoned his wife and daughter and took up with Mu Tingying’s sister, Mu Nan, instead!
Mu Tingying was Xing Hui’s sister-in-law. He had been looking down on Mu Ningxue from the beginning.
Most interestingly, the man’s eyes were brimming with lust, yet he had to talk to Mu Ningxue with an attitude, just so the others from the Mu Clan were aware that he was loyal to Mu Tingying and Mu Nan.
Mo Fan was seriously impressed. Why did every man and dog dare to jump out of nowhere and bite Mu Ningxue now? She was now the leader of Fanxue Mountain, which was currently a powerhouse in Feiniao City. They were being too respectful to a dog who was sticking his face up the Mu Clan’s ass!
“I hate it when people scold indirectly. I can ignore it if you’re referring to someone else, but if you’re referring to me, please say my name out loud. Make sure you can hold yourself responsible for your words!” Xing Hui stepped forward and snarled.
“I don’t have the time to remember a nobody’s name. Look at my finger, not my thumb, not my index, not my nameless, and not my pinky. Whoever it points at, that’s the guy I’m talking to.. .you there, those who are behind him, please step aside, or he might ask if I was pointing at you all instead. Now, you should know who I was referring to, old dog!” Mo Fan reached out his hand and raised his middle finger.
His finger was right in front of Xing Hui. The people who happened to be behind him were Kuma, Lu Xiu, Tommy, and the others. They were dumbfounded when they heard Mo Fan.
Brother, you almost stick your finger into the man’s nose. Do you seriously think he’s that retarded to think you are actually referring to someone else? We are at least ten meters away!
“Why must he always be so arrogant?” Lu Xiu complained.
“He might be arrogant, but you wouldn’t want to mess with him, either,” Kuma replied.
They had witnessed Gavin’s death in person. Even though Lu Xiu was not pleased with Mo Fan, he was too scared to provoke him!
The old dog… uh, Xing Hui, did not move. His lungs were about to explode when he saw the middle finger and the disdainful grin on Mo Fan’s face. Even the disciples of renowned clans in the capital who were going to be leaders in the future did not dare humiliate him like that. Did this Mo Fan really think he was a national hero after winning the World College Tournament?
“I can kill you right now!” Xing Hui’s eyes were almost sticking out. His Ice Magic was spreading. It solidified and turned into sharp spears before it dissipated. It felt like the place was growing full of deadly thorns.
“Xing Hui, the alliance still holds. I hope you aren’t planning to break the rules. Verbal argument is fine, but don’t cross the line. It’s not safe here,” Yassen stepped forward with a powerful aura of the Wind Element rising about him.
“I hope you aren’t going to interfere with this,” Xing Hui said coldly.
“I also don’t like it when people boast in front of me. You better stick to your words if you said you are going to kill me. It’s pretty embarrassing if you fail to achieve what you said!” Mo Fan hugged his head like he had never treated Xing Hui seriously.
How amusing, so many people wanted him dead! Xing Hui might even struggle to get a spot in the queue!
The words set the gunpowder keg in the man’s stomach on fire. Blue veins surfaced on his face as more Ice Spears appeared and surrounded Mo Fan, preparing to stab him to death.
“Enough!” Yassen snapped.
A strong pressure fell from the sky with fierce gusts of wind, surging at the area Xing Hui and Mo Fan were in.
The Ice Spears shattered into powder. The Ice Magic was blown away by the winds, making it difficult to use the Ice Element.
“Yassen!” Xing Hui yelled angrily. It seemed like he had known Yassen for some time.
“Rules are rules! I already made it clear before forming the alliance! You can settle your disputes after the alliance comes to an end, but before that, I don’t care who you are or what grudge you hold, I will stop you if you are going to place everyone in danger! Don’t force me!” Yassen declared grimly.
Xing Hui knew he was no match for Yassen, but he was infuriated when he saw the proud grin on Mo Fan’s face!
He had to withhold his anger when he was on the verge of exploding. How unbearable!
“You can’t win an argument against me, either. Just mind your mouth. I won’t be fussed about you either, since our fine leader has made it clear…” Mo Fan went on dismissively.
