Chapter 908 - The Sense of Gratitude

Chapter 908 The Sense of Gratitude

“Brother, I didn’t expect your medical skills to be so good!”

Tu Jiaojiao walked over and her body swayed tantalizingly. She was well aware of the severity of her injuries. Even if she had been treated by the best doctor in the academy, she would probably have to lie in bed for two or three days before making a full recovery. She might even miss the opportunity of going to the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

However, after being treated by the person in front of her, she completely recovered from her injury. It was as if she had never been injured.

She was not the only one, the others had the same experience. After Qin Haodong’s treatment, they all recovered rapidly.

When she approached him, she said again, “Thank you, brother!”

Qin Haodong said politely, “You’re welcome. The Ghost King Sect is our common enemy. You were injured because you were helping all of us.”

“Tu Jiaojiao, you don’t need to thank him.”

At this moment, a voice filled with hatred drifted over. Qin Haodong looked back and found that it belonged to You Wanjian from the South Academy.

Tu Jiaojiao’s face darkened. “What do you mean by that? Just now, Brother Qin healed you too. Shouldn’t you thank him?”

Qin Haodong also looked over. You Wanjian had also suffered serious injuries. Without his timely treatment, even if he didn’t die, he would be bedridden for a period of time. He would not have been able to go to the Seven Storeys Pagoda this time.

You Wanjian said coldly, “He did treat us but have you ever wondered why we were injured?”

Tu Jiaojiao said in surprise, “Isn’t it obvious? We were all injured by the ghost slaves of the Ghost King Sect.”

You Wanjian said, “Didn’t you see that his cultivation is very high. He could easily kill three ghost slaves. If he had helped us earlier, we wouldn’t have been injured.

“It’s because he was too cowardly that we ended up injured. Therefore, there’s no need for us to thank him.”

Tu Jiaojiao said angrily, “What are you talking about? Wasn’t Brother Qin protecting the three girls just now?”

You Wanjian said coldly, “Protect them? Are their lives more precious than ours? He protected them and left us to defend ourselves?”

“You’re right. Their lives are more precious than yours. You’re nothing in my eyes.”

Qin Haodong was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He had never seen such an ungrateful person. Just now, if it weren’t for him and the Little Witch, these people would have succumbed under the ghost slaves’ knives. Unexpectedly, he said such nonsense in the end.

He said, “If it weren’t for the fact that you were injured due to fighting against the Ghost King Sect just now, I wouldn’t care about your life at all.”

“You…”

You Wanjian had always claimed to be the top master of the South Academy. However, Qin Haodong had taken the spotlight now, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.

“Brat, do you have a sense of gratitude? If we hadn’t risked our lives to keep those ghost slaves at bay, you would have died.”

“How dare you talk about gratitude?” Qin Haodong looked at him coldly and said, “I hope you can understand one thing. Those ghost slaves are not coming for me. You were not helping me at all.

“Besides, even without you, I can still kill those ghost slaves.”

That was indeed the case. If it weren’t for these students from the South Academy and Xiao Yulong, being the unstable factors, he could directly swallow the Great Energy Explosion Pill and then kill the 12 ghost slaves with a wave of his hand. He didn’t need to go through so much trouble at all.

Tu Jiaojiao continued, “Yes, the Ghost King Sect is our common enemy. You are fighting for yourself. What does it have to do with Brother Qin?

“Don’t you know yourself? How many ghost slaves did you kill? None! Right?

“As for Brother Qin, he killed four of them on his own. The little girl summoned the Thunderhawk to save us. I wonder how you have the face to stand here and talk like that?”

“You…”

You Wanjian’s expression froze. He wanted to refute but he had nothing to say. Apart from getting injured, he did not do anything just now.

“Humph, you don’t know what’s good for you. Just wait. Even if you die in the hands of the ghost slaves in the future, I won’t help you,” he said angrily and then left with his men.

“Bah, who is it? Shameless! If I’d known he was going to do this, I would have had the Thunderhawk scratch his head!” The Little Witch looked at his back and said angrily.

“Actually, I think what he said makes sense.”

Xiao Yulong walked over from the side.

The Little Witch was immediately furious. “Xiao Yulong, what do you mean?”

At the same time, the others also looked over angrily.

“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean what that guy meant.” Sensing everyone’s anger, Xiao Yulong quickly explained, “I just think that there is no need for Zhao Xingyue to join our team.

“And also this injured girl. Since she is already healed, let her leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we meet any more people from the Ghost King Sect again, they will be a burden.”

Seeing that this guy was trying to drive her away, Zhao Xingyue quickly grabbed Qin Haodong’s arm and said, “Big Brother Qin, can you please not drive me away?”

“Don’t worry! You are a member of our team. No one can drive you away.”

Qin Haodong patted Zhao Xingyue on the shoulder to comfort her. Then, he turned to Xiao Yulong and said, “There’s one thing you need to remember. Zhao Xingyue is one of our members. She’s not a burden.”

Xiao Yulong said, “Qin Haodong, in fact, I know very well that this girl has never fought with anyone since the freshmen competition. Just now everyone was in critical danger. Everyone tried their best, except her. This girl has never done anything!

“I don’t mean anything else. I just feel that it’s unnecessary for her to follow us. Why don’t we send her back to the academy? It’s better for everyone. We don’t need to have some people to protect her. In the academy, it will be safer for her, too.”

There was a flash of nervousness in Zhao Xingyue’s eyes. She didn’t know what to say. She just held Qin Haodong’s arm tightly, as if this was her best support.

Qin Haodong looked at Xiao Yulong and said, “Do you mean that weak people don’t deserve to be in our team? We should send them back to the academy?”

Xiao Yulong’s expression froze, but he still said, “Yes, we are going to the Seven Storeys Pagoda to experience, not to play. The weak are not suitable to be in our team.”

Qin Haodong smiled coldly and said, “If I remember correctly, the three of you joined forces just now but couldn’t kill a ghost slave. Finally, you were badly injured.

“From this point of view, are you the weak? Should I send you back to the Tortoise Academy?”

“This…”

Xiao Yulong wanted to say something else. Qin Haodong waved his hand and interrupted him, “Don’t say anything more. One more thing you have to understand is that Zhao Xingyue is my companion. She has nothing to do with you.

“Since we are in the same team, the only thing we need is unity, not abandonment.

“Besides, you and I are men. Men are born to protect women.”

Seeing the man standing in front of her like a mountain and defending her, Zhao Xingyue’s eyes were filled with tears and complexity.

Not only her, but also Murong Jinghong, Fang Qiong’er, and Yun Qianqian were all looking at Qin Haodong with eyes that shone.

‘Men are born to protect women.’ This was the first time they heard such righteous words.

The Little Witch said, “My Little Brother is right. Sister Xingyue is a member of our team. No one has the right to look down on her, much less drive her out.”

Fang Qiong’er, Yun Qianqian, and the others also came over. “That’s right! We are a team. We will not abandon, leave or forsake each other.!”

Xiao Yulong was embarrassed for a while. He said to Murong Jinghong, “Jinghong Fairy, we have also rested. Isn’t it time to go now?”

Murong Jinghong didn’t even look at him but said to Qin Haodong, “Doctor Qin, can I join your team?”

After being kicked in the ass by Qin Haodong the day before, she was initially full of resentment and thought that the man must be a frivolous person.

It seemed that she had misjudged him. This man was not frivolous at all. On the contrary, he was extremely steady and dignified. There was a charm about him that other men did not have, which made her heart that had been silent for a long time restless.

Qin Haodong said, “If you want to, you can join us.”

Murong Jinghong’s lips curved into a smile. “Thank you, Doctor Qin!”

Xiao Yulong and Xue Pan were dumbfounded. Originally, they were in a team of four. However, He Kaishan ran away. The strongest member Murong Jinghong joined Qin Haodong’s team. What should the two of them do?

Just now, they experienced the power of the Ghost King Sect. In this case, it would be safer for more people to unite together.

After hesitating, Xue Pan said slightly awkwardly, “Can we also join?”

Qin Haodong thought for a moment and said, “You two are not good people, so it’s not suitable for you to join our team.

“But because we are all from the same academy, I can take you but you must not make any trouble for me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Xiao Yulong and Xue Pan were unwilling. In the past, they were among the top ten masters of the academy. They were superior among the students. However, now they needed to bow to a freshman.

But there was nothing they could do but nod.

Tu Jiaojiao said, “Brother Qin, we can’t join your team but let’s go together. As everyone saw just now, the people of Ghost King Sect could appear at any time. It’s not safe to have fewer people.”

Qin Haodong nodded. After the break, they went to Pagoda Mountain together.

It was almost dusk. They chose a flat place to camp.

Before Qin Haodong could say anything, everyone caught pheasants, hares, and salted fish in the river for him to cook.

“Brother Qin, do it quickly. I did not eat enough fish for lunch. Hurry up and cook more for everyone,” Tu Jiaojiao said.

Qin Haodong nodded helplessly. It seemed that these people were addicted to eating.

After dinner, everyone took out the tents in their rings and began to set up camp.

Zhao Xingyue took Qin Haodong’s hand and said with mixed feelings, “Big Brother Qin, am I useless? I’ve caused you a lot of trouble.”

Qin Haodong said, “What’s wrong? Don’t bother about what they say. Just be the way you are. No one can replace you.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “But I’ve been bothering you ever since we met. I used your money and asked you for help. I didn’t make any contribution at all in the freshmen competition and we even won the championship…”

Qin Haodong looked into her eyes and said, “What you lack now is courage but I believe that you will definitely grow up. Sooner or later, you will become a brave person.”

“But I don’t believe it myself. I’m so timid that I’m afraid of everything.”

“It doesn’t matter. I believe you will change in the future,” Qin Haodong helped her tidy up her messy bangs and said, “go ahead. You must be tired. Go to sleep.”

He sent Zhao Xingyue to the Little Witch’s tent and then turned back to his tent. As soon as he laid down, a fragrance suddenly drifted over his face. Tu Jiaojiao, who was dressed in red, rushed in from the outside.
