This night is destined to be a sleepless night to all of them. Jin Yu wasn't interested with Chen Wu and Wu Lian's fight. But, he didn't go back to his and Wu Tie's tent and instead he went to the infirmary where Wu Tie is currently is.
He sat beside the bed of Wu Tie who is still unconscious, and he stared at his employer's face the whole night without even blinking. He is a spirit servant whose body is made of spiritual energy, so him just absorbing spiritual qi from the surroundings is enough for him to recover.
But, it is not the same for Wu Tie, who is a human. That is why he proposed to look for magic herbs with the allied participants. He just didn't expect for a disagreement to appear between Chen Wu and Wu Lian.
"I will definitely find the magic herbs so you will immediately heal… master." Jin Yu said as he held Wu Tie's hand tight.
But, like before, there was still no response from Wu Tie.
…
In Su Mi's and Sun Ri's tent, the two girls aren't sleeping despite it was already late.
"Being a woman is really hard." Sun Ri sighed as she looked at her whip that Fei Yinzi returned earlier.
"En." Su Mi nodded in agreement. "We are restricted in physical strength." She frowned.
Sun Ri lowered her head. How she wished that she was born a male…
…
In He Shun and Qi Lan's tent, He Shun saw that Qi Lan was already sleeping as if nothing Chen Wu and Wu Lian didn't argue. Even if they all left to not watch, they still have heard…
He Shun heard what Chen Wu felt and felt both hurt and guilty. He feels hurt since what Chen Wu said was true, that the weak has no strength to protect themselves. He also feels guilty, since Chen Wu's protection is making them safe, especially him who is the weakest among the sword cultivators. Even though he is not dragging everyone down, still, he feels ashamed.
"Ai…" he sighed, feeling distressed, as he laid down his bed. He closed his eyes, deciding to not think about this matter anymore since it will just make him feel depressed and make his head ache.
He didn't know that as soon as he fell asleep, Qi Lan opened his eyes and looked at him in the darkness. Qi Lan rose from his bed and walked towards him. He raised his hand and wanted to place it on He Shun's head to pat him, but he stopped before he can even touch him.
A sigh can be heard in the darkness before Qi Lan returned to his bed and slept.
…
In the Qian brothers' tent, Qian Jue is staring at Qian Meng who is now asleep. He knows that Qian Meng feel bothered by Chen Wu's words, about being weak and should be protected. But, what is good with Qian Meng's timid personality is that Qian Meng doesn't let these things bother himself for too long. Thus, Qian Meng is sleeping peacefully right now.
Among all of them, maybe only Qian Meng slept peacefully. Qian Jue's lips curled up as he planted a kiss on Qian Meng's forehead. How much he wanted to sleep beside Qian Meng now! But, he held himself back.
"No matter what happens, I will definitely protect you, Meng Meng, so that you can remain carefree in this life." Qian Jue whispered before he returned to his bed and slept.
But, Qian Meng's eyes suddenly opened and his face furiously blushed. 'Meng Meng'?! he thought and covered his face with his both hands as he suppressed the smile on his face.
Thus, this night became a sleepless night for him, too, but due to a different reason.
…
In Su Yi's and Ling Yun's tent, Su Yi was sighing, as well as Ling Yun.
"My strength is still not enough." Su Yi said and frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Same here." Ling Yun said. Then, he looked at Su Yi. "Let's keep working hard together?" he said.
"En." Su Yi nodded.
And both of them slept just like that, tactfully not asking each other about Chen Wu's and Wu Lian's argument.
…
In Tang Li and Li Yan's tent, Li Yan watches Tang Li snore with amusement in his eyes.
"Ai…" he sighed as he lied on his bed. He wonders when he can become stronger, enough to be able to catch up to that person.
…
In the Jing brothers' tent, surprisingly, Jing De is still awake.
"Will they be mad at us?" Jing De asked Jing Xu. "After all, we are so disappointing." He said and sighed in distress.
The 'them' he is referring to are Jing Rui, Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Jing Kang.
"Only you. Don't count me in." Jing Xu said, although he also feels depressed. "Uncle Hei won't be mad. He has always been carefree. Uncle Kang won't, too, since although he is strict, he actually doesn't have any requirement to us, the younger generation. The same with uncle Bai… uncle Bai has always been the best temper." He explained. "As for uncle Cheng and the sect leader…" he said and grimaced.
Jing De's face was covered in black lines. Jing Cheng and Jing Rui are both the strictest. "I get it." He said and pulled at his hair. "I will work harder!" he said as he inwardly cried.
Jing Xu sighed. Since his idiot younger brother is willing to work harder, how can he, the elder brother, fall behind?
…
In Wen Yan's and Zhu Xi's tent, the two are staring at each other. If anyone were to come in, they would think that the two also would fight like Chen Wu and Wu Lian earlier. But, those who have discerning eyes would see that Wen Yan's and Zhu Xi's ears are red.
The candles were also put off, and so darkness enveloped them. Who knows who did the first move, but the next second, the two are already kissing each other passionately and they fell on Wen Yan's bed. The two also peeled each other's clothes, as if they can't wait anymore to feel each other's body.
"Zhu Xi… xiao Xi – " Wen Yan called under his breath as he hugged Zhu Xi tight.
Zhu Xi gasped. "Wen Yan – " he called as he wrapped his arms around Wen Yan's neck and buried his face on the other's shoulder.
"Xiao Xi… xiao Xi…" Wen Yan murmured as he bit Zhu Xi's shoulder.
"Ah!" Zhu Xi cried, both in pain and pleasure as he felt his body's temperature rose higher.
"I love you… I love you, xiao Xi… I love you." Wen Yan repeatedly said as he rained kisses all over Zhu Xi's body, as well as love marks.
"Ngh… Wen Yan… ah… I love you, too – " Zhu Xi said, feeling feverish as Wen Yan's tongue licked his skin.
What argument? What Chen Wu? What Wu Lian? The two of them have already confirmed their relationship, so they should go to the next step!
…
In Fei Yinzi's and Wen Wen's tent, Wen Wen is yet unaware that he has already earned a sister-in-law. He still feels worried about Chen Wu and Wu Lian.
"Aren't you tired?" Fei Yinzi asked after he fixed both their beds.
"Ah, yes…" Wen Wen absent-mindedly answered. "Er Zi, you… sorry to trouble you…" he said when he saw that his bed was fixed, too.
"It is fine." Fei Yinzi answered. "Do… you want to say something?" he asked him.
"Huh? About what?" Wen Wen asked, taken aback, since he felt that the question Fei Yinzi asked is about another matter, though he doesn't know what it is.
Fei Yinzi stared at Wen Wen for a long time before he retracted his gaze. "It's nothing." He said.
"Hm?" Wen Wen was puzzled, but seeing that Fei Yinzi wanted to sleep now, he didn't ask. He put off the candle before he also went to sleep.
Fei Yinzi sighed after he heard Wen Wen's stable breathing. Was it just his imagination because he was delirious? Then, why would he imagine of Wen Wen kissing him? he thought. Could it be…? His heart thumped loudly inside his chest. … he likes Wen Wen since before this?
…
When Chen Wu entered Chen Su's and Chen Yu's tent, his brothers have already gone to sleep. Of course, he feels that he doesn't have the face to see them thus he waited for them to sleep before he went to look at them.
He looked at Chen Su, then Chen Yu, and felt a surge of guilt. He isn't stupid. He knows that Wen Yan is right. But, he also feels that he isn't wrong either. So, he has to ask his brothers, as well as the others, about their opinion. This is where he was wrong before, because he didn't ask them.
But, after what happened earlier, he feels embarrassed. He didn't have time to think about embarrassment, though, since he felt he was tugged from behind!
