You won't be hard on me? Yu Zeng awkwardly smiled at him. Yeah because you won't prolong my agony!
"I am hoping for a good match, Dong Fang." I should remain calm. Yu Zeng extended his hand for a handshake.
Dong Fang looked at Yu Zeng's hand and a nearly indiscernible smile crossed his lips. He shook his hand but Yu Zeng was shocked when Dong Fang didn't let go of his hand.
Yu Zeng tried to pull his hand but he couldn't. He felt the warmth coming from Dong Fang's hand slowly spreading throughout his body.
What is he doing? Yu Zeng was getting nervous; he forcefully and successfully pulled his hand from Dong Fang's hold.
"See you later." Yu Zeng didn't look at Dong Fang's face and just walked away with Wei Shun but he felt Dong Fang walking behind them.
I didn't anger him, right? Yu Zeng worriedly thought.
Yu Zeng smiled when he saw Heng Guiying and Ai Jin walking in their direction. They looked good together. I can't believe, I have the chance to witness how the protagonist and the heroine of this story fall in love with each other.
Yu Zeng looked back and saw Dong Fang two steps away from him with a slight frown on his handsome face. Maybe, he is jealous?
"I decided to help you practice Yu Zeng." Heng Guiying stopped in front of Yu Zeng and placed his arm on Yu Zeng's shoulder. Ai Jun was just standing next to the protagonist.
Heng Guiying looked at Wei Shun who was standing next to Yu Zeng and smiled at him "You should also come with us, Wei Shun."
Dong Fang frowned and walked towards them but stopped in mid-step when he heard what Yu Zeng said.
"I think that's a good idea." Yu Zeng smiled brightly at Heng Guiying. It's not every day that the protagonist would offer his time to someone like me ah.
"Shall we start with our practice?" Heng Guiying asked.
"Here?" Yu Zeng looked at Dong Fang and thought of something.
"I know a great place!" Yu Zeng happily said. It's really a good place. You can go there with the heroine. When we get there, I will leave them two alone and practice with Wei Shun. A good opportunity for them to deepen their relationship.
"Really? Okay, I want to see the place, Yu Zeng." Heng Guiying happily replied.
"Let's go." Yu Zeng was surprised when Heng Guiying didn't spare Ai Jin a single glance.
Huh? You should ask the heroine to come with us, Mr. Protagonist. He waited for the protagonist to asked Ai Jin but it didn't happen.
"Ai Jin, let's practice together." Yu Zeng looked at Ai Jin. He also wanted to invite Dong Fang but Dong Fang was not looking at him and his eyes were closed like in deep thought.
I wanted Heng Guiying to invite me but maybe he is just too shy to ask? Yu Zeng, your feelings for me are too obvious. Ai Jin smiled to herself and bit the bottom part of her lips.
"Thanks for inviting me Yu Zeng but I will stay here with Dong Fang." Ai Jin glanced at Dong Fang and smiled.
Heroine, you are playing hard to get ah. Yu Zeng thought and felt sad for the protagonist. He looked at Heng Guiying and thought that he needed some comfort. He placed his hand on Heng Guiying's shoulder.
"Okay. See you." Yu Zeng walked with Heng Guiying and Wei Shun away from the tournament grounds.
Ai Jin who was standing nearby wanted to go with Heng Guiying and accept Yu Zeng's invitation but she didn't want to be separated from Dong Fang either. I want Heng Guiying to get jealous but why does he look so happy? Ai Jin was puzzled when he remembered the smile on Heng Guiying's lips. Maybe, he was just pretending to be happy?
"I think I should practice with you, Dong Fang." Ai Jin touched Dong Fang's arm.
Dong Fang didn't answer and opened his golden eyes. He clenched his fists while looking at Yu Zeng walking away from the place.
They were about to leave the place when Mei Shu approached them.
"I will go with you, Dong Fang." Mei Shu coldly looked at Ai Jin's hand which was holding Dong Fang's arm.
"As you please." Dong Fang walked away from the tournament grounds followed by Mei Shu and Ai Jin.
I wish I went with Yu Zeng and Heng Guiying. What with this atmosphere? Ai Jin thought while looking at Mei Shu. Because she is here, Dong Fang is now shy to show his feelings for me.

"This place sure looks great." Heng Guiying was amazed to see a place full of flowers of different colors and sizes.
Maybe he likes me and wanted to have a romantic time together with me. This place sure looks romantic. Heng Guiying thought while looking at Yu Zeng who was looking up at the sky.
He looked around and saw some disciples sitting on the grass while reading books while others were cultivating. Some female disciples couldn't help but blushed when they saw Heng Guiying looking at them.
"Heng Guiying! You are here." Heng Guiying turned to look at the owner of the familiar voice and saw Bo Chang sitting cross-legged on the grass with floating leaves in front of him.
"Yes, we are also here to practice cultivation." Heng Guiying put his hand on Yu Zeng's shoulder.
"So, let's start with our practice." Heng Guiying looked at Yu Zeng and Wei Shun.
Yu Zeng just nodded. I hope it won't rain.
They distance themselves away from the flowers and the other disciples.
Heng Guiying faced Yu Zeng while Wei Shun stood at the side. Heng Guiying concentrated and sent Yu Zeng some leaves but was shocked when they were burned into ashes in midair.
"Wow! This place looks beautiful!" A soft mellow voice said loud enough for the people in the place could hear and turn in their direction.
"Ai Jin! I'm glad that you are here!" Bo Chang immediately stood up and walked towards Ai Jin.
Why is that man here? Ai Jin wanted to glare at Bo Chang but with Heng Guiying, Dong Fang, and Yu Zeng around, she couldn't.
"Yeah." She just smiled at Bo Chang. Good thing, you didn't hurt my face during our match, or else I won't spare you a glance.
"I will help you practice!" Bo Chang loudly said. The other disciples who were cultivating their elements looked at him angrily. He scratched the back of his head and laughed goofily while apologizing.
"Thank you, but I will practice with Dong Fang." Ai Jin turned to look at Dong Fang whose golden eyes were fixated on Yu Zeng.
How dare he ignored Ai Jin? Bo Chang glared at Dong Fang.
Mei Shu glanced at Ai Jin and smiled. I already told you before. She coldly looked at Yu Zeng. That Yu Zeng really wants the attention of handsome guys.
Dong Fang slowly walked towards Yu Zeng with a nonchalant expression on his face and ignored what Ai Jin said.
Why does Dong Fang look angry? Is he angry that I told Heng Guiying about the place? Sooner or later he'll know of this place. Yu Zeng was a little nervous while looking at the scattered ashes in the wind.
Mr. Villain, I'm sorry for showing this place to the protagonist ah, but please don't end my life. I already died once. Yu Zeng almost fainted when Dong Fang raised his hand and touched his hair.
Is he going to burn my hair?
Yu Zeng looked at the ashes in Dong Fang's hand. Is he showing me what will happen to my hair when he burns it?
"Let's have a practice match. I won't be hard on you." Dong Fang said, he looked at the people around. "But not here, I want it to be in a place where no one can disturb us." He whispered in Yu Zeng's ear. "I won't be hard on you."
Is big brother Dong Fang going to harm big brother Yu Zeng? Wei Shun stood nervously. I should protect my big brother.
"We will practice here." Heng Guiying went in between Dong Fang and Yu Zeng and placed his arm over Yu Zeng's shoulders.
I hope I can live after this. Yu Zeng thought.
