Chapter 839 - Eavesdropping on other’s little secret

Everybody was already waiting in the square. It was time for the contest, but they didn’t see any teachers coming in.

“What is happening? Are they calling off the billboard ranking match?” Fatty Qu asked.

“Maybe not. If they wanted to call off, they wouldn’t have let us wait here for so long.” said Sima You Ran.

“Then why aren’t the teachers coming?”

“Let’s wait and see.”

Sima You Yue looked around, and the others did too. They looked anxious and doubtful, and the whole square was filled with discussions.

In this lively square, there were several areas which were unusually quiet.

“Who are those people?” She asked while looking at the group of people diagonally below her.

“Those people are the top ten of the billboard.” Fatty Qu said, “The guy sitting in the middle wearing the black outfit is Wang Si Miao.

“You even know this?” asked Sima You Yu with a surprised look.

“I’m a well-informed source, what do I not know?” Fatty Qu said proudly, “The one beside Hua Piao Miao is billboard’s ranked four contestant Pang Jia Nan, also a pursuer of Hua Piao Miao. This round, I heard Wang Si Miao and Hua Piao Miao got together, and he is preparing to challenge Wang Si Miao!”

“Where did you get all this information from?” Little Seven asked.

“When I went out yesterday, I overheard it. Pang Jia Nan said it himself.” Fatty Qu answered secretly.

“How did you hear that?”

Fatty Qu looked around him, looking worried.

Sima You Yue saw his expression. Finding it strange, she deployed a spirit barrier, surrounding them inside.

“What happened?” She stared at Fatty Qu, making sure he didn’t tell lies.

“Actually, yesterday night, two of my seniors invited me to drink behind the mountain. As we were coming back, we passed by the mountain top. I felt like peeing, so I ran behind a huge stone. In order to avoid getting caught doing something indecent, I held my breath, I didn’t expect to hear Pang Jia Nan talking to another person, saying that he wanted to kill Wang Si Miao.

“Who was he talking to?” Sima You Lin asked.

“I don’t know, the other person was hiding in a cloak. He had a hoarse voice. I didn’t recognise the person.”

“Did you get caught?” Sima You Yue asked.

“At that point of time, I was too surprised, so I accidentally let out a noise. ” Fatty Qu continued, “After that I ran out hurriedly, but since I was there, if there is a beast, it can smell me.”

“Why didn’t you tell us earlier?” Wei Zi Qi stared at him.

“When I came back, I didn’t put too much thought into it, since they would match up in the contest anyway.” Fatty Qu said, “It’s nothing new if they are duelling because of a girl. Only up till just now, I noticed something wasn’t right.”

“What do you mean by something wasn’t right?” Little Seven asked.

“If he wants to kill Wang Si Miao just because of Hua Piao Miao, there’s no need to discuss it with a mysterious person.” Sima You Yue said.

“That’s right.” Fatty Qu continued, ” I’m wondering if he is planning something else, which is why he is being so secretive.”

“Most probably.” Sima You Ran lowered his voice and said, “If that is the case and he caught you, he definitely wouldn’t let you go.”

Fatty Qu nodded his head repeatedly, “That’s right. that’s right. I agree, I’m in danger now.”

“Serves you right. Who asked you to pee outside.” Little Seven didn’t think that Fatty Qu was in danger since he was no match for her. Seeing Fatty Qu’s worried expression, she wanted to tease him more.

“I needed to answer the call of nature.” said Fatty Qu.

“There isn’t any evidence as to what he is planning to do, and didnt say he wanted to kill Fatty Qu.” Sima You Yue continued, “For now, you don’t have to be so worried. Even if he wants to do something to you, he has to have the capability to do it. You have a lot of thunderbolt bullets, if anyone tries to kill you, kill them with your thunderbolt bullet.”

Fatty Qu named the iron ball ‘Thunderbolt bullet’, according to his team’s name.

Thunderbolt bullet was a rare spirit weapon. Everybody wanted to buy some, especially those with great influences. They bought it through the sect and made their alchemists imitate it, but they were not as good as Thunderbolt Bullet.

When Fatty Qu knew about this, he laughed proudly and boasted, “If my Thunderbolt Bullet was that easy to clone, would I still be at ease and let you buy it?”

“Stop being arrogant. The other’s power is only a little lower than yours.” Wei Zi Qi triggered him.

“You need to have power!”

“Back then, if You Yue didn’t help you collect that earth mine in Little Realm of WenHai, would you still be able to refine such a strong weapon like Thunderbolt Bullet?”

“That is my secret weapon! If it is a secret weapon, naturally it’s mine.”

After hearing Sima You Yue’s words, Fatty Qu laughed, “That’s right, if anybody dares to kill me, I’ll kill them with a Thunderbolt Bullet!”

At this point, Pang Jia Nan sensed something, and he turned back and took a glance at them.

He glanced over at Fatty Qu first, then Sima You Yue and smiled at them and turned back.

“What do you think?” Wei Zi Qi asked.

“I think he has confirmed that it is Fatty Qu.” Sima You Lin said.

“Even though he is good at concealing, the way he looked at Fatty Qu is different.” Sima You Yue said. “I think he’s confirmed it.”

“If he wants to come, let him come, I will kill him with Thunderbolt Bullet!” Fatty Qu said.

“Dumbass, what if he assassinates you?” Little Seven rolled her eyes at him.

“Furthermore, he’s not the only one.” Sima You Yue said, “What I’m worried about is the one that was with him yesterday.”

“That’s right. Although Pang Jia Nan’s strength is not bad, that’s the only thing we can see, if they want to fight with you, they will also be on guard against you. But the one with the cloak, we don’t know his identity, strength and background, if he wants to assassinate us, we are not prepared.

“No choice then, we have to adopt measures appropriate to the actual situations.” Fatty Qu said.

“Why are the teachers not coming?” Little Seven asked. ” If they are not coming, then we’ll go back.”

“Here they are.”

Right after Sima You Yue’s voice faded away, one of the teachers walked in exactly at the start time of the contest.

“Only one teacher? Where’s the judge?” Somebody asked.

“Sect’s leader didn’t come too.”

“Are they really calling it off?”

“Nothing happened recently, why would they cancel it?”

“Maybe the style of the contest changed. Let’s wait and see what the teacher says.”

That teacher walked up to the stage and said, ” Silence.”

Teacher’s voice was loud and clear. As it echoed throughout the whole square, the students fell silent.
