It was obvious that when trouble appeared, Luo Xue would shift all the responsibility onto Xiang Tian right away, because Wang Zhan was certainly going to be angry at the two of them, it was just a matter of who would face less of his wrath. She had already decided that even if the sky was falling, she'd stick close to Wang Zhan, so she had no choice but to let Xiang Tian bear the brunt.
Since the beasts around them had all been dealt with, Xiang Tian was now free to act. He quickly walked over to Wang Zhan and then pointed at Luo Xue, speaking in a deep voice, "How can you talk like that, you little vixen? What do you an everything was my decision? Your legs are your own, did I force you to co against your will? That's hilariously absurd."
"Brother Wang, I think you know very well what his personality is like. The fact is, both of us wanted to help you out, which is why we secretly brought Han Xue here."
"But rest assured, I already regret it now. If I had another chance, I definitely wouldn't do this again; it was far too dangerous."
There's no denying that Xiang Tian is much smarter than Luo Xue; he was quick to apologize to Wang Zhan, fully understanding Wang Zhan's temperant. With the chaos on the Star War Battlefield, how could Wang Zhan possibly leave the two of them alone there? That would be like sending lambs into the tiger's den, waiting for them to die—utterly ridiculous.
Yet Luo Xue still didn't get it, even shirking responsibility.
Wang Zhan frowned slightly, his gaze becoming much colder. After glancing at the two of them, he pulled Han Xue to his side, saying, "Enough, I don't want to argue with you anymore."
"But don't forget what I said: since you refuse to follow my orders, you better hurry back to the fifth war zone."
"I don't intend to keep dragging you two along; otherwise, sooner or later sothing will happen. It's for your own safety."
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged a glance, their faces turning grim, especially Luo Xue, who was on the verge of tears, her eyes reddening.
Luo Xue quickly moved to Wang Zhan's side, grabbed his arm, and whispered, "Brother Wang, please don't make
leave you. You should know how important you are to . I want to stay by your side and keep improving my own fighting abilities. Don't worry; I won't hold you back."
Wang Zhan coldly chuckled and said irritably, "Before you left, I told you what? And what did you do?"
Recalling the recent events, Wang Zhan felt a hint of fear. If he hadn't shown up in ti, Han Xue would have been a corpse by now. They've not known Han Xue for long, but Wang Zhan already considered her a friend, or more like a sister. He couldn't believe Xiang Tian and Luo Xue nearly got Han Xue killed.
"Brother Wang, we did indeed make a mistake, but please forgive us. I promise this won't happen again. I'll follow your orders obediently from now on. If you say go east, I won't dare go west, just don't send
back to the fifth war zone, okay?"
Luo Xue looked pitifully at Wang Zhan, her pathetic expression sohow cute yet laughable.
Wang Zhan glanced at her and coldly said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Do you really think I'll believe you? You say this every ti, but what do you actually do?"
Luo Xue hung her head in silence.
Beside her, Xiang Tian was also silent, like a kid waiting for the teacher's scolding.
At this mont, Wang Zhan stood like a stern father before them, lecturing continuously.
Yet they didn't find Wang Zhan's nagging annoying; perhaps they were used to it.
Han Xue also walked over to Wang Zhan, tugging at his sleeve, and whispered, "Brother Wang, please don't be mad at them. I'm also responsible for this. If I had stayed in the hotel, none of this would have happened, so if you want to bla soone, bla ."
Rolling his eyes, Wang Zhan said irritably, "Just because you're young, don't think I won't hold you accountable. Do you know you're playing with your life? If I hadn't appeared in ti, did you think about the consequences?"
Han Xue murmured softly with her head down, "But isn't Brother Wang a superhero? So I wasn't scared at all. I believe Brother Wang would appear to help
when I'm really in trouble."
Glancing at her eyes, Wang Zhan coldly said, "Look at your eyes, still filled with tears, and you're telling
you're not scared? Are you kidding?"
Han Xue hung her head, not daring to speak.
It was the first ti Han Xue witnessed Wang Zhan's anger, and frankly, it was terrifying. Xiang Tian and Luo Xue had repeatedly warned her never to anger Wang Zhan; the consequences were unimaginable. In Han Xue's eyes, Wang Zhan was just a gentle older brother; how could he get angry? Even if he did, it wouldn't be that scary. But now that she's seen Wang Zhan's anger, her worldview was overturned; clearly, she had been mistaken.
After scolding them for a while, more beasts surrounded them again. Wang Zhan didn't hesitate to charge at the beasts, yelling as he left, "Get back to Tianxiong City imdiately! If I see you on the battlefield again, I'll send you to the fifth war zone—cry or protest all you want; I won't care. You know my speed; catching
is a near impossibility."
Wang Zhan wasn't joking about that.
The others, including Xiang Tian, knew this well, and they hung their heads, not daring to speak.
They were well aware of Wang Zhan's character; he always ant what he said, hence their concern.
In a flash, Wang Zhan returned to the battlefield, clashing with the demonic beasts while Xiang Tian glanced at Luo Xue and said, "I never understood what 'a woman's heart is the deadliest' ant until now. Since I've never had dealings with girls, I know now. Facing trouble, you imdiately blad . If anything happens again, don't co to ; I won't help."
Clearly, Luo Xue had truly upset Xiang Tian this ti.
The recent events left Xiang Tian furious, his heart racing.
Luo Xue pleaded pitifully beside him, "Oh co on, big brother, you're older than , right? Shouldn't you give way to your little sister a bit? You saw Brother Wang scold us together, right? He's bound to get angry. If you take responsibility, I can save myself so trouble, right? I wanted you to be the hero this ti."
"Hero?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian nearly swore. Following Wang Zhan required much effort and sacrifice.
Yet Luo Xue's remarks almost had him sent back to the fifth war zone. Xiang Tian cared a lot about face; returning to the fifth war zone would make him a laughingstock.
Luo Xue urged, "Enough, stop being mad. Brother Wang told us to return to Tianxiong City quickly, so let's not waste more ti. If Brother Wang sees us still here, he'll misunderstand, and we won't be able to explain."
Han Xue nodded, "Yeah, I just saw Brother Wang really angry, so let's not push his limits."
Yet Xiang Tian paid them no mind.
He realized why his father kept him from relationships; won were terrifying.
Naturally, he didn't know it was due to his naivety and youth that his father advised against mingling with girls, urging him to focus on cultivating his skills: having strong abilities was key to surviving on the Star War Battlefield. Strong n never lacked won, but if one lived only in the fifth war zone, securing a relationship wasn't easy.
However, Xiang Tian was still too young to grasp his father's well-intended advice.
After scanning the area and finding no demonic beasts, Xiang Tian headed towards Tianxiong City.
Luo Xue and Han Xue exchanged glances and quickly followed.
Carefully, Han Xue approached Luo Xue, whispering, "Sis, do you think Brother Wang is really angry and will send us back to that war zone?"
Luo Xue paused, sighing, "I believe Brother Wang wouldn't do that."
