They Are More Talkative Than the Aunt Next Door

The day was over, Feng Ao Xiu was sitting down on his small bed within his dorm room.

After he revealed the real room number, the girls, Chang Miao and the others, had to move out of the room. This time his real roommate moved in. As it turns out, Wi Ke Ling and Baldy was his designated roommate.

At first, he was glad that at least it was someone he knew. However, soon he realised the truth and desperately wished to change his roommate.

Currently, the three men were having a conversation. It has already been going on for three hours.

"So, Unlike you two who already passed the test, I have to retry the test tomorrow. However, it will be an individual test, and I have to collect 15 points all by myself. And, the time limit is only 24 hours. How am I going to collect all of it within that!? Isn't that horrible?" Baldy rambled about his test tomorrow.

"Waah... That is indeed horrible!" Wi Ke Ling nodded in agreement. "There's no way that one person will be able to collect all 15 points by himself. The average will probably be four or five, and at most will be ten. There's no other choice but to fight and steal. And by this calculation, about two-thirds of the remainder will probably be eliminated. What do you think, Brother Fei?"

"Ehh... Me? Umm... Yeah, you're right." Feng Ao Xiu said. [These guys gossiped too much. They are more talkative than the aunt next door. When will this be over!?]

"See... Even Fei Bao Xing thinks so too. Oh, what am I going to do? What if I'm eliminated tomorrow!?"

"Don't worry, Baldy! Brother Fei and I will definitely think of a strategy to help you. Isn't that right, Brother Fei?"

"Ehhh... Me... A strategy..." Feng Ao Xiu was flustered at the sudden request. There was no reason for him to help Baldy. "Well, I don't have any..."

"So, how about you utilised your speed and started stealing early on. By following someone from behind and make sure to do it behind their back." Wi Ke Ling said, cutting off his reply.

"Are you sure? I thought it would be best If I just started teaming up with 2 or 3 other people. Although it was a lot of work, it was better than having your points stolen."

"I see. There are those options as well. But, if you started doing that, won't the others start forming their own teams as well. And, since this is an individual test, there is a risk of being betrayed by your own team."

"Ahh... As I thought, perhaps the team is a no go. But is it really better than doing it on your own? What do you guys think?"

"..." Fei Bao Xing eyes twitched. He could only laugh wryly in response. But there will be no end to this kind of topic. As he was too tired to follow this conversation, he changed the topic immediately. "Umm... Since when you guys were friends?"

"Oh... To tell the truth, even though we were in the same room, we never talk eye to eye before," said Wi Ke Ling.

"It was after our fight in the test earlier that we tried talking to each other. And, before we know it, we just really clicked. Hahaha!" Baldy laughed really loudly. "Now that I think about it, Fei Bao Xing and both of us were also a good match."

"Yup! I told you Brother Fei was great. It feels like the three of us were already friends for centuries."

"Yeah... It almost seems as if... We were like brothers!"

Suddenly, both Baldy and Wi Ke Ling gasped at the same time.

"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking!?" Wi Ke Ling asked in excitement.

Baldy repeatedly nodded in excitement.

"Ehh..." Feng Ao Xiu became confused. He somehow has a bad feeling about this. [What ever you are thinking of, I'm not thinking of it!]

"There's a small garden near here. Let's go there tomorrow morning and swore brotherhood to each other." Wi Ke Ling declared.

"Agreed, I'll bring the wine!" Baldy said excitedly.

"What?!" Fei Bao Xing was surprised, in a bad way. There's no way he wants to be brothers with these guys. It will just bring more trouble.

No more playing nice guy. He has to tell them that he did not want any part of this. he needed to be as strict as possible. Otherwise, they would not listen.

"Listen, I do not want to..."

*Boooooooom...*

Before Feng Ao Xiu could finish what he has to say, a large explosion occurred. It was not too close to cause them any harm, but not too far either, as the sounds were large enough to fill the entire dorm building.

***

There was a big explosion in one of the build. Big rubbles, remnants of the destroyed building were everywhere. The explosion was big enough that no trace of an entire building left.

Suddenly, the debris and rubbles near the centre of the explosion moved. A man emerged from within. The man was none other than the NUmber One Assassin, Chang Jian.

Chang Jian has received the direct impact of the explosion. Most man would already die because of the explosion, but not Chang Jian. He was an Ancient Earth Realm Cultivator. His Qi and his defensive instant have allowed him to minimize the damage.

Nevertheless, he was injured because of it. Half of his body turned red because of the burn. And, he was exhausted as his Qi was almost depleted to defend against the explosion.

It did not take him long to find out what happened. The moment he was out of the rubbles, he was surrounded by hundreds of men. He roared, "What's the meaning of this? Silver Hands Owl!"

"As expected of an Ancient Earth Realm, he did not die." One of the elders said. "Sect Master, we are awaiting your orders."

Chang Jian roared again. This time his voice was louder than before. "Are you deaf!? I'm talking to you! You better explain all of this!"

The Sect Master sighed. He took a step and said, "Chang Jian, you are surrounded! It was already over for you. Feng Ao Xiu wants you dead! Surrender now, and we might just let you live!"

"You..." Chang Jian was angry and baffled at the same time. "Silver Hands Owl. Do you understand what you are doing? Do you wish to anger him!?"

The "Him" that Chang Jian mentioned was none other than the powerful group leader in Great You Empire, Silver Hands Owl's biggest client.

Of course, they were afraid of him. If the Silver Hands Owl were truly fighting against him, they would be annihilated in matters of moment. But, they did not have a choice. Feng Ao Xiu was more fearsome.

They could only hope that by eliminating Chang Jian, they could curry favour with Feng Ao Xiu. In return, Feng Ao Xiu would defend them in case "he" attacked.

The Sect Master said back, "Didn't you hear me? I said Feng Ao Xiu wants you dead!"

"Kuh... Feng Ao Xiu. So you chose Feng Ao Xiu over him. You'll regret this!" Chang Jian said as he jumped and launched a strike.

The Sect Master roared. "He's alone and injured. There's nothing to be afraid of. Attack!"
