Chapter 604: Taking Pleasure in the Misfortune of Others
Ding!
[Cultivation: Pinnacle stage of Qi refining phase, Health: 20000, Combat power: 20,000 (+7000)!]
The Netherspirit Battlescouter immediately had an insight of Ouyang Jingxin's cultivation. This guy's combat power was higher than both Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao, but his actions speak otherwise. He was always smiling.
Under normal circumstances, Chen would have already judged him to be a peaceful scholar. However, under the current circumstances, Chen Xiaobei had to be cautious of this person!
Ouyang Jingxin came to the site, with the means and intent to fight. However, since his actions speak otherwise, it could only mean that he was there to watch the fight and reap the injured and claim the glory.
If Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao were truly his underlings, then Ouyang Jingxin was undoubtedly a hypocrite!
Since it had come to this, Chen had to be extremely wary of that man.
"Alright then, since Brother Ouyang has no opinion on the matter, then the majority wins! Kill this kid!" Wang Poqiong said coldly.
"I won't let you kill him!" Luo Puti said firmly.
Alarmed, Lin Nutao continued to pressure, "Shijie Luo, you are the chief inspector of Six Doors and you have the responsibility to listen to the opinions of the deputy chief inspectors of our three divisions !"
Six Doors was divided into four, and the central division was Hua Dong, where the position of the chief inspector was at. Hua Nan, Hua Xi, and Hua Bei were the three divisions and each one had their own deputy chief inspector. Usually, major issues will be reviewed by the four divisions and the majority vote would determine the outcome.
Luo Puti was determined to stand her ground.
"And what if I don't listen?"
Wang Poqiong licked his lips while looking at Luo Puti's perfect figure. He smiled and said, "Hey, inspector of Six Doors, when did your heart start wavering? Just for the sake of a boy, you're ignoring the rules and the judgment of the four divisions?"
Luo Puti's expression did not change and her eyes revealed her coldness and said, "The rules are nothing! People have their own lives; I know that it's not possible for my friend to be related to the Xiangxi Phantom Lord. Even if the sky falls, I will not let you all touch him!"
When her speech ended, Chen Xiaobei felt incredibly proud and happy. Although Luo Puti was cold most of the time and never was in a good mood for Chen Xiaobei, at that moment, it was obvious that Luo Puti cared most about Chen Xiaobei. As the saying goes, the truth is difficult to see! At a critical moment, even if it was only one sentence, it could also make someone happy.
Of course, some people would be irritated by this!
"Luo Puti! If you won't listen to advise, don't blame us for being hard on you!" Lin Nutao said.
"Heh, you finally said the truth." Luo Puti glared and coldly said, "Wanting to kill my friend is just an act all along, you just want to show off your strength right?"
"Since you've refused to understand..."
Wang Poqiong smiled and said, "We are the people of Jianghu and we can never go against the iron rule of 'The strongest shall be respected'! Some things are better decided with the fist!"
"Alright! Then let me test your fist!" Luo Puti was not afraid and positioned herself in front of the enemy.
Watching how she was, Lin Nutao sneered, "Luo Puti, we call you Shijie was merely a code of conduct! Do you really think that you're that great? With your strength, three of us can take you down and you won't stand a chance!"
After those words were uttered, the elites of the three major divisions in the distance laughed mockingly.
"Has Luo Puti become stupid? To rely on her cultivation and to dare challenge Wang and Lin, the two deputy chief inspectors? Shouldn't she pack up and leave already?"
"God knows what she's thinking. The three deputy chief inspectors had always rejected her position. If a battle broke out, she would definitely be beaten to the point of unable to continue her mission!"
"Heh, does it matter if she could even continue the mission? The final victory must belong to one of the three deputy chief inspectors!"
"Girls will be girls, it's only right if they stay at home to breastfeed a child, it's better than coming out to work, she's clearly asking for trouble!"
"She should at least have someone to depend on if she wants to stay at home! Having such an incompetent pretty boy, no wonder she can't help to come out and be hardworking!"
"How can Luo Puti look up to a boy, she must be blind!"
When the crowd was gossiping from a distance and mocking Luo Puti, they even brought Chen Xiaobei into it. Not only were the divisions strong, they did not respect Luo Puti!
Since it was expected that Luo Puti will renounce her position as the acting Chief Inspector, the crowd was merely trying to budge a bolder and let gravity do the rest; they were trying their hardest to provoke her.
Both Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao got excited as the crowd booed Luo Puti. They held their heads up high and waited for the moment when Luo Puti succumb to the crowd.
Ouyang Jingxin smiled wryly and tried to be persuasive. "Shijie Luo, you know what they mean. As long as you and your friend disappear, there would not be any trouble. If he stays, the only side that would be in trouble is you."
Obviously, in the eyes of Ouyang Jingxin, Luo Puti and Chen Xiaobei were the weakest. He was hoping that Luo Puti took the bait, to abandon the mission and abandon her post. Those words sounded like good intentions but he was, in fact, fanning the flames to drive a wedge between them!
The underlying meaning of the words was obviously suggested that the people that were troubling Luo Puti were Wang Poaqiong and Lin Nutao. At the same time, he was also suggesting to Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao to not let her go if she refuses to give up her stance.
As the saying goes, to see things clearly, one sometimes would need to take a step back. In this situation, those that were not involved in the quarrel were the onlookers, and they were the ones that clearly understood the situation.
Luo Puti and the other members of Six Doors Organization had the habit of not listening to others. Or rather, they were born with a nature to fight instead of understanding. Chen, on the other hand, had a calm heart. He knew what was going on. Hence, he could read the atmosphere and understood Ouyang Jingxin's true hidden intention.
Chen Xiaobei already anticipated what would happen, so his heart did not waver. He even felt like laughing!
"I will not give up this task! And I will not let my friend suffer in any harmful ways! Since you are in refusal against me, then speak with your fist!"
Luo Puti, unbudged from her stance refused to give up! Watching this, Chen Xiaobei cheerfully gave her a thumbs up, his wife was really domineering!
"That's weird! Wasn't Luo Puti known as the invincible? How can she make such a brainless decision?"
Wang Poqiong, with angry steam, said, "Since you refuse to be convinced! We don't mind letting you see the big gap between you and us!"
"You take things too easily, don't blame us if we beat someone to death!" Lin Nutao smiled disdainfully with his hands crossed, he had no intention of being involved in the fight.
"Don't worry, I know when to stop." Wang Poqiong broke into a smile and his entire body circulated with True Qi.
The thick True Qi surged, providing a boost to his power.
The crowd saw how the situation was unfolding and took the liberty to cheer. They knew that somehow, Luo Puti was doomed.
Chen Xiaobei, weirdly enough, was laughing along with the crowd. However, unlike the mass, his attention was not to Luo Puti. It was Wang Poqiong, and he knew that Wang was about to be defeated.
