"Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, step forward!"
Just as Oscar had guessed, Zhao Wuji's deep voice immediately rang out.
We're done for.
Nothing good could come of this demon singling us out.
Both men shuddered inwardly, a bad feeling rising in their hearts.
"You two will complete twice the usual training quota today. If you don't finish, you don't eat."
What?!
Huang Yuan and Jing Ling's expressions changed drastically.
A single day's training already pushed them to their limits. Twice that...
It would practically kill them.
If they really went through with it, even if they survived, they would shed a layer of skin.
"Teacher Zhao, we'd like to know why you're punishing us."
Huang Yuan mustered his courage and asked.
"Let me tell you, being cocky isn't a crime!"
"Understand? Are you still unhappy?"
Zhao Wuji's brows shot up. "If you don't put in the effort, I'll triple your training quota!"
"Don't, Teacher Zhao! Please show mercy and leave us alive!"
"We'll start our double training quota right now."
Huang Yuan and Jing Ling agreed with miserable faces.
By now, they understood that they had earned this extra training because they had run their mouths and mocked someone they should never have mocked.
What a sin.
So that man really could be that cocky.
They felt miserable, but there was no medicine for regret.
"Everyone except Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, begin today's training."
"Dai Mubai, lead them."
Zhao Wuji spoke again.
But Dai Mubai remained motionless. His thoughts had long since flown beyond the heavens.
What was Qin Xiao planning to do with Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran?
I'm falling apart here.
"Dai Mubai, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?"
Zhao Wuji's voice rang out again, finally snapping Dai Mubai out of his daze.
"Understood."
Dai Mubai
