Chapter 1839 - 1834: Mixed Feelings

"Master Xiaobei may be young, but he’s really good at dealing with people! Indeed, some people succeed for a reason."

"Yeah! I think so too!"

After what just happened, the duo had utter admiration for Hu Xiaobei.

Now, even if they were killed, they would never betray Hu Xiaobei because, compared to Cao Ying, Hu Xiaobei’s charisma has soared tremendously...

One might even say that the despicable Cao Ying isn’t qualified to be compared to Hu Xiaobei...

...

"Let’s go back first!"

Soon, one of them took the initiative to suggest...

Upon hearing this suggestion, the other person nodded lightly, "Alright! But it’s a bit disappointing not to see that trash kneeling before Hu Xiaobei, begging for mercy."

"Indeed! It’s quite a pity! But honestly, that trash may not even get a chance to beg, as Hu Xiaobei probably won’t give him any opportunity to speak."

They knew Hu Xiaobei was someone who loved brightness.

Thus, Hu Xiaobei must particularly dislike the insidious Cao Ying.

Naturally, he might not give him any chance at all.

"Let’s hope Master Xiaobei doesn’t give him a chance when he asks for mercy, or else that trash might play all sorts of tricks again!"

"Yes!"

With cold sneers, they turned and walked away!

Previously, their hearts were tied to Cao Ying.

They were willing to do anything for him.

But now, their hearts were dead.

Under such circumstances, not only were they unwilling to do anything for him, but they hoped he would die.

...

"It’s done, it’s done, it’s done!"

Having run far, Cao Ying turned his head to glance back, his face full of excitement.

Earlier, he feared that those two wouldn’t be able to buy him more time.

Now it seemed he had underestimated them.

They had created absolutely enough time for him.

"Though it’s unfortunate to lose two elders, it can’t be helped, as being alive is the most important thing."

After muttering to himself, he looked up at the mountain peak and quickly moved forward.

He’s now planning to head straight to the peak to see if Hu Xiaobei has arrived...

He thought the chances of Hu Xiaobei coming were low because he might have already died from those venomous snake bites.

"Hu Xiaobei, I hope you can give me a surprise!"

Muttering to himself, he hummed a tune as he walked towards the peak.

At this moment, he was as cautious as possible...

Because he knew there were even more unknown dangers here...

"Finally reached!"

Half an hour later, he arrived at the mountain top, looking disheveled.

Scouting around, he didn’t see Hu Xiaobei.

"Indeed he didn’t come! He must be dead!"

Thinking of this, he wildly burst into laughter.

But just two seconds into his laughter, his face suddenly paled to the extreme.

Because he heard a calm and collected taunt, "What’s up? What’s so funny? Tell me so I can share the laugh."

Following the direction of the voice, he looked over and saw Hu Xiaobei lazily sitting on a flat rock.

Unscathed!

Looking Hu Xiaobei up and down, he found Hu Xiaobei was completely unharmed!

"How is this possible?"

His lips quivered as he roared madly.

He really thought everything in front of him was false.

Because in his view, there was simply no reason for Hu Xiaobei to be sitting here unharmed.

Seeing his shocked expression, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly, "What’s wrong? You seem unwilling to see me! Do you hate me that much?"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s surprised question, Cao Ying quickly waved his hand, "No! How could it be! I am just a bit surprised! When did you get here? How did you escape those venomous snakes?"

Glancing at the baffled Cao Ying, Hu Xiaobei responded naturally, "Escape? Why escape? They chased me for a bit then just left, and I came straight here. I expected you’d arrive earlier, by the way, you look quite disheveled! What’s happened?"

"Damn it! Such insane luck!"

He roared wildly in his heart.

After roaring, he calmed down and spoke expressionlessly, "Earlier, my luck wasn’t great, encircled by many venomous snakes! Those two sacrificed themselves to save me."

"That bad, huh?"

"Yes! Exactly that bad! But our family members are like this, they never back down even at the cost of their lives. Once home, I’ll ensure they’re given a proper burial."

Looking at Cao Ying’s performance, Hu Xiaobei hinted, "Forget about the funeral, maybe they’re not dead yet!"

"Not dead? That’s impossible; earlier, they were surrounded while saving me."

"Miracles happen!"

Listening to Hu Xiaobei’s continued defense, he furrowed his brows and switched topics, "Alright, Master Xiaobei, let’s carry on! We’re already here; quitting halfway is not an option, right?"

"Of course! I never give up halfway!"

"Then let’s keep going!"

Thus, the two continued forward.

Though now, they both had hidden thoughts.

...

"Are Hu Xiaobei’s previous words true? Did he really have good luck, or did he wipe out those venomous snakes!"

Leading the way, Cao Ying began to ponder!

He knew those snakes and understood their sense of smell was terrifying.

As such, he didn’t believe they’d easily lose track!

Since they wouldn’t lose track, Hu Xiaobei and the snakes must have clashed.

The possibility of Hu Xiaobei wiping them out was the largest.

With such clear speculation, he stole a glance at Hu Xiaobei...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s unharmed appearance, he began to doubt his guess.

Because Hu Xiaobei seemed entirely unscathed.

As he thought, even if Hu Xiaobei was powerful, he would look disheveled facing them, evident at least in his clothes.

But now, there wasn’t the slightest sign...

Thus, he doubted the correctness of his speculation!

"Forget it, no point pondering further; best not to keep thinking!"

He quickly shook his head!

In his view, the nature of things didn’t matter.

Once they reached the ancestral home, there were plenty of chances to scheme against him and find out his true strength.

...

"It seems he should be feeling all sorts inside now!"

Watching him shake his head quickly, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly.

Hu Xiaobei knew he had evidently shocked him earlier.

Such shock persisted, leaving him unsure of how to face him now.

"I know you want to test my strength, but you won’t get the chance, not in this lifetime."

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei continued walking forward with him.
