Chapter 2715 - Critical Moment (2)

Shan Jingfei looked at Ye Hongxue in bewilderment.

Ye Hongxue snorted. “Our mission was to help you get 20 Class B crystal cores.”

Shan Jingfei wanted to retort, but Ye Hongxue glanced at her. “We’ve killed way over 20 Spirit Stone Worms for you. Our mission is complete.”

Shan Jingfei was embarrassed.

The praise she had received over the years had made her too arrogant. She couldn’t believe anyone would dare treat her this way.

Shan Jingfei ground her teeth. “Are you saying you’re not going to help us anymore?”

Ye Hongxue smirked. “I don’t know about your relationship with Qiu Zeyu, but he didn’t hire us to protect you since it would be too expensive.”

Shan Jingfei looked like she had been slapped. “He didn’t know I would be in danger. Otherwise…”

Ye Hongxue cut her off. “I don’t care, and I don’t want to know. The bottom line is that Xuecheng Team has completed the mission. Your safety is none of our business!”

Shan Jingfei said, “But you’re a Class A student and our senior…”

“As your senior, I’m going to give you a warning.” Ye Hongxue rolled her eyes at Shan Jingfei. “I’m doing you a big favor here, and I’m not obliged to help you, so keep your mouth shut! I’ll throw you to the worms if you annoy me again!”

“You!”

Shan Jingfei was furious.

Her face had turned scarlet red because she had never been humiliated like this before. However, she didn’t dare say a word.

She realized how displeased Ye Hongxue had become.

“Xue Hao…” She changed her approach and turned to Xue Hao instead.

However, Ye Hongxue glared at Xue Hao before Shan Jingfei could finish. “Xue Hao, I’ll be our team’s acting captain for a while. Agreed?”

In a critical moment like this, no one wanted to deal with Shan Jingfei’s whining, so Xue Hao immediately said, “Great! I like that idea!”

Ye Hongxue glanced at Shan Jingfei, who looked like she was about to explode.

Ye Hongxue went on, “Since I’m the captain now, I order you to come back here and take a break!”

Xue Hao said, “Who will fight off the worms?”

Ye Hongxue said, “Don’t they have the great captain Shan Jingfei? She’s supposed to be the top student in Class B. She shouldn’t hide behind us and make us protect her. She’ll be going to Peace Grassland soon, and she needs the practice. Go on!”

Xue Hao and his teammates cleared their throats. They came back, sat down next to Ye Hongxue, and started to recover their strength.

Shan Jingfei and her team were under a lot of pressure.

Ye Hongxue was right. Because Xuecheng Team had been protecting the others, Shan Jingfei and her team had the energy to stay at the back and complain.

After Xuecheng Team fell back, Shan Jingfei and the others had to face the worms on their own.

Shan Jingfei was in tears when she saw the drooling worms.

Infuriated, she shouted at Cheng Fang.

“It’s all your fault!”

Cheng Fang was dumbfounded. “What?”

He had been worried about them and had come back to help them despite the danger. Was this what he got in return?

Shan Jingfei didn’t dare criticize Ye Hongxue, so she lashed out at Cheng Fang.
