Chapter 658 - The Scum Is Low-Profiled

Xie Lan's brow twitched in annoyance when he saw their gazes on them. "What does it got to do with us if Qi Lan is working with our disciples? It is not as if we are the ones who ordered him to cooperate with them?" he asked.

Everyone. "…" good… they really can't refute his statement again! They thought and helplessly sighed as they watched Qi Lan escaped while Qian Jue and Qian Meng just reacted.

By the time Qian Jue and Qian Meng reached the corpse of the demon that Qi Lan killed, Qi Lan already disappeared and not even a shadow of his could be seen around! If they were not just watching closely, they would think that what happened was just their imagination!

Then, how much more this is for Qian Jue and Qian Meng?

"Brother… who was that?!" Qian Meng asked, still stupefied, as they look at the direction where the figure escaped.

Qian Jue frowned. "He is too fast." He said.

Qian Meng nodded in agreement. "If I just don't know that you are here, I would have thought that it was you just now." He said.

What Qian Meng said is not a lie. Qian Jue's strength is on par with Fei Luo's and Wen Yan's. It was just that Qian Jue's priorities, like Chen Wu, is on his younger brother Qian Meng. So, Qian Jue's strength isn't well-known. He is low-profiled like Xi Bing.

"But it wasn't me." Qian Jue said.

Qian Meng sighed. "Then, who could it be?" he asked as he pondered. "It shouldn't be Wen Yan since he and Zhu Xi were by the lake earlier." He said.

"Fei Luo?" Qian Jue muttered with his brows knitted.

Sun Yu who heard that the pot (blame) was given to his disciples again. "…" what the heck! He inwardly roared as his face darkened.

The other sect leaders wanted to laugh but they held themselves back at the last second after seeing Sun Yu's stormy expression. The Sun Clan, although a clan of hermits, is an undoubtedly strong clan. It is just that they are low-profiled. So, they don't dare offend, much less provoke, Sun Yu.

Aside from Xie Lan, this daredevil who has enmity with the Shanliangde Sect. Now that Fei Huang was gone, it was Sun Yu next that he is attacking, with his disciples indirectly and unintentionally pitting Sun Yu's disciple. They can only sigh at this enmity between Xinfaxian Sect and the Shanliangde Sect.

"Huh?" You Rou muttered when she noticed something.

"What is it, You-shijie?" Lei Ling asked.

"Isn't Qi Lan always with He Shun?" You Rou spoke. "Where is He Shun now? Why is it only Qi Lan here right now?" she asked, puzzled.

The others started. They only remembered now that indeed, Qi Lan and He Shun are inseparable, especially that they have seen and heard Qi Lan confessed to He Shun! Thinking this, everyone's gazes fell on He Run, who sported an awkward expression. After all, a man has confessed to his son! Although everyone, including him, doesn't discriminate against cut-sleeves, He Run has never imagined that a man would confess to his son! So, he doesn't know how he would react or feel about this matter, until now.

But, if He Shun likes Qi Lan, too, then, he definitely wouldn't beat the mandarin ducks. He loves his son, and being a cut-sleeve isn't a crime. So, he will support his son.

"Shun-er is…" he said, about to tell them where his son is when his voice abruptly stopped after he, as well as the others, saw what happened.

He Shun was busy killing two demons. His strength has already improved so much. Then, suddenly, a figure appeared behind him. It was none other than Qi Lan.

"Hey! Qi Lan is also here!" Shan Lu exclaimed in surprise. "Will he also steal the demons from He Shun like what he did to the other participants?" he asked.

The others also thought so. After all, there are only a few days left until the third stage ends, and they all will be evaluated. The competition is extremely fierce this time, so it isn't unreasonable if Qi Lan would also steal the demons from He Shun's hands.

"Shun-er…" He Run worriedly muttered. Even if it is just two demons, mosquito meat is still meat (it counts). So, He Run feels nervous for He Shun, especially that He Shun didn't notice Qi Lan's arrival.

The others also suddenly feel tense, and they held their breaths, anticipating what will Qi Lan do next. And their worry seems not unwarranted since they saw Qi Lan flew towards the two demons!

"Oh, no! Qi Lan will really steal He Shun's demons, too!" Jing Hei cried and covered his eyes with his hands, doesn't want to see what is about to happen because he feels pity towards He Shun.

They can see that He Shun is very hardworking that is why they all feel happy for He Shun since He Shun's efforts weren't all in vain. He Shun's strength has increased! But, compared to Qi Lan, this is just like an adult compared to a child. They all sighed in sympathy.

"Oh! Here it comes!" Tang Teng sharply inhaled when they saw Qi Lan attacked the demons!

"Damn it!" they all cursed, suddenly feeling indignant on behalf of He Shun.

Among the participants, He Shun is the weakest, aside from Sun Ri and Cui Xiang. Even Cui Xiao is stronger than He Shun. So, they all feel pity towards the weak, that is why they feel angry that He Shun would also be stolen from of his prey!

"Ah! I can't bear to see this!" Hui Qiu, a woman, naturally feels sympathetic the most to He Shun. She closed her eyes and looked away.

"… hey?" suddenly, Feng Mo muttered when they saw what happened next.

The others also felt their minds become sluggish when they saw Qi Lan hit the demons, but the demons didn't immediately died. Instead, they all fell before He Shun's feet and are unable to move, so they can't attack He Shun.

"This…" they all looked at each other, dumbfounded.

"What? What happened?" Hui Qiu asked as she opened her eyes to look.

Jing Hei removed his hands from his eyes to also look, only to be stunned when he saw the demons sprawled before He Shun's feet. "Hey…? Qi Lan, he… gave the demons to He Shun?!" he exclaimed.

The others are still shocked, too, as they watched He Shun, who was also surprised by what Qi Lan did, then he killed the demons afterwards.

"This… this is true love!" Shan Lu, this idiot, said, which is also true.

Everyone glanced at He Run who wore a complicated expression on his face since he also didn't expect for Qi Lan to do this for He Shun. Indeed, Qi Lan really likes He Shun. Just look at the way Qi Lan looks at He Shun. His eyes are filled with adoration and doting.

Suddenly, everyone felt being fed by dog food. "…" why the hell are we watching this and still be fed dog food?! Is this a competition or a love show?! They thought, then looked at He Run whose expression looked stiff after seeing everyone's gazes are on him.

He Run. "…" life is hard as a father… he thought and inwardly sighed.

"To be able to give up points just to woo… aww…" Sun Yi said and smiled, feeling touched by Qi Lan's gesture to He Shun.

"I will give all my points to you." Wu Yuan told him.

"Aiyo! Yuan, you can't do that! Or else, you will be eliminated in the competition!" Sun Yi told Wu Yuan. But, there is a sweet smile on his lips.

Everyone who were fed dog food again. "…" you two aren't even in the competition! They thought and sighed.

…

"Qi Lan-ge!" He Shun called. "This…" he said and looked at the two demons by his feet. His gaze looked complicated.

"Let me help you." Qi Lan told He Shun.

"Uh…" He Shun lowered his gaze. He doesn't know what to answer. "How about your task?" he asked, referring to Qi Lan's task of stealing the prey of the other participants so that the attention of the other participants would be caught and they won't leave the area of the Distance Perceiving Formation while the Xinfaxian Sect disciples would hunt the demons outside the area of the Distance Perceiving Formation.

Cui Xiao is responsible for monitoring the locations of the other participants. Qi Lan was given this task since he is the fastest among them.

"Cui Xiao said that the other participants haven't left the area." Qi Lan answered. What he meant is that he has time to help He Shun farm for points.

"Well…" He Shun's face reddened. "Okay… thank you.." He said and smiled. How can he refuse? He also likes Qi Lan and he wanted to be with him, too!
