BXBX NOVEL Chapter 240 - Sparring Area
"That was some great acting skills of you, Elder Shan." Yang Wei praised her sarcastically as his hand began massaging her shoulders.
Elder Shan giggled as she felt her fatigue lowered down.
"Yang Wei, this is the treachery in the cultivation world. You can never believe what your eyes see but what the heart feels." She then said.
Her words were deep and full of hidden meaning, hoping to help Yang Wei\'s mindset.
Sometime later, Yang Wei released his hands on her shoulders.
"That should be enough massaging, right?" Yang Wei asked.
"If I said no, would you continue to massage me?" Elder Shan teased in response to his question.
Yang Wei shook his head. "If I continue massaging you then I probably won\'t be able to investigate the traitors in our sect."
Elder Shan snickered as she stood up and turned around. Looking at Yang Wei\'s solemn and calm expression, Elder Shan smiled at him.
"Remember, finding the traitors is important but nothing is more important than your own life." Elder Shan warned. "If the investigation turns deadly, make sure to relay it to me and I will make some arrangements."
"I understand, Elder Shan. I\'m not some greenhorn that would poke at a hornet\'s nest without fear." Yang Wei laughed as he bid his farewell.
A few moments later, when Elder Shan confirmed Yang Wei\'s presence was gone, she sat back down with a flushed expression.
"Ahh- that was exhausting. He didn\'t notice it, right?" Elder Shan muttered in a low tone as she touched her cheeks.
Her face was blushed in redness, and she quickly headed off to wash her face with cold water to calm herself.
With a splashing sound, Elder Shan glanced at the mirror and became dumbfounded.
"Why is my face still so red?" Elder Shan saw her face as red as a tomato.
Suddenly, she placed her hand in her heart and noticed the rapid beating pace of her own heart, something that had never happened before.
Elder Shan\'s vision blurred once again, the scene of her being kissed by Yang Wei flashed upon her.
"I better take a cold shower instead." Elder Shan staggered toward the shower as she slowly stripped her clothes down. "Just washing my face alone isn\'t going to help me."
While Elder Shan struggled to get rid of her flushed expression, Yang Wei was in the Training Area for inner disciples.
"Let\'s see, the first person on the list is Zhu Qi." Yang Wei muttered as he glanced around the Training Area.
The Training Area was a place for the disciples to use their martial techniques to the fullest without worrying about holding their strength back.
As Yang Wei walked around, he noticed many disciples were staring daggers at him, almost like they were curious about his sudden appearance.
\'Is there something wrong with my face?\' Yang Wei wondered silently as he strolled around.
Sometime later, an inner disciple walked toward Yang Wei as he cupped his fist.
"Could you be Yang Wei?" The inner disciple asked.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"Yes, how may I help you, fellow disciple?" Yang Wei then replied to him.
"My name is Gong Fan and I have heard about your duel against Xiong Hu in three weeks." Gong Fu said.
And he continued, "Would it be possible for us to have a sparring match first?"
Yang Wei was about to refuse Gong Fu\'s request for sparring because he wasn\'t here to spar. He was here to investigate the list of disciples in the list that Elder Shan made and test the validity of it.
However, the next sentence from Gong Fu made Yang Wei startled by the coincidence.
"We have a training spar just up ahead and currently, Zhu Qi is the leading person in winning." Gong Fu added.
\'Zhu Qi- the one I wanted to investigate. Could this be a trap or truly a coincidence?\' Yang Wei was doubtful by such convenience.
Nevertheless, Yang Wei nodded his head to follow Gong Fu. Whether it\'s a trap or a strand of coincidence, Yang Wei needed information.
"Then I shall trouble Brother Gong Fu to lead the way for me." Yang Wei cupped his fist as he asked him to show the direction.
"Brother Yang Wei is too polite." Gong Fu replied as he turned around and began walking.
Sometime later, Gong Fu led Yang Wei through multiple twists and turns before arriving at the sparring area.
"We have arrived, Brother Yang Wei." Gong Fu stopped as he introduced the area to Yang Wei.
Yang Wei was dumbfounded by the secretive area of this place. \'Is this really a sparring area made by the sect?\'
The sparring area was in a secretive place and Yang Wei feared that if Gong Fu hadn\'t guided him here then he would never be able to find it.
Meanwhile, Gong Fu laughed heartily when he saw Yang Wei\'s dumbfounded expression.
"Brother Yang Wei, this sparring area is kind of our inner disciples\' secret zone." Gong Fu said as he held a prideful expression. "Not even the elders of the sect know about this."
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"Is this sparring area a reserved place for specified disciples?" Yang Wei then asked him.
Although it was a sparring area, Yang Wei noticed the amount of inner disciples here was very minimal.
Gong Fu smiled as he gave a thumbs up at Yang Wei.
"As expected of a person that Xiong Hu wanted to duel against." Gong Fu praised Yang Wei for his deduction skills.
"To be able to come here, one must be invited by a person here or if they are qualified to become one of us." He added.
Yang Wei sneered inwardly at their action. \'We are all fellow disciples yet this is clearly a social ranking to divide among us.\'
