Zu Lian had a terrible look on his face. Honestly speaking, anyone in his situation would be looking like this too. The two young disciples who had been standing behind Zu Lian looked back at him blankly. When they had first been selected by Zu Lian to take part in the tournament, their chests almost burst with pride. Now, they were nearly begging him to rescind his orders."Sect leader, we…" The two disciples looked at Chang Wei's fallen form and then at the bored-looking Yan Qing standing in the fighting arena. Their lips quivered as they struggled to speak their minds."You two will decide among yourselves." Zu Lian waved them away. He knew what they wanted to say."Among ourselves?""What, do you want me to choose instead?""No no no, we'll decide among ourselves. We'll do that!" The two young disciples replied quickly and turned to discuss among themselves. "Little Brother Li, I've always treated you well.""Big Brother w.a.n.g, I've always served you to the best of my abilities.""I'm getting on in age and it takes a longer time for me to recover from injuries. If I fight in this battle, I'd be at least bedridden for two to three months. Would you bear to see me end up like that?""Big Brother w.a.n.g, you make sense. But I'm young and have a bright future ahead of me. Wouldn't it pain you if I died here?""Young? You're only two months younger than I am!""I'm still younger than you are. Big Brother w.a.n.g, you should exercise some of those big brother qualities and protect your juniors!""Can't you respect your elders instead?""Stop arguing. Sort it out with a guessing game!" Zu Lian had enough of their bickering. It was irritating him to the point where he was very close to kicking them both up on stage. "No need for that. I don't mind the Xuanji Sect sending both of these two pieces of trash up on stage to fight me!" Yan Qing suddenly spoke."Both?!"This Yan Qing is a crazy man indeed!"The surrounding disciples of the various sects were astonished. At the same time, Yan Qing invoked in them a sense of visceral fear. "Yan Qing, you said it!" Zu Lian narrowed his eyes. He had been infuriated by Yan Qing's arrogance. "Yes." Yan Qing nodded. "Any objections, Wu Yuerr?" Zu Lian turned to look at Wu Yuer. "No." Wu Yuer shook her head carelessly. She did not even bother looking at Zu Lian. "Alright, Wu Yuer. You've forced my hand. I'll let you see what the Xuanji Sect is capable of!" When Zu Lian had finished speaking, two ma.s.ses of energy that were as bright as the stars appeared in his hands."
