Super Soldier Chapter 73

No one understood why Xiao Bing did this . Who were Zhang Gui and Yingzi? They all looked confused .

However, they could tell that Xiao Bing was definitely not prepared to apologize . Rather, he was here to declare… war?

Xiao Bing refilled his gla.s.s and raised his gla.s.s . He said solemnly, "Uncle Ye, Master Hou . . . forgive me for letting you two down . . . "

Ye Bancheng's face changed . Master Hou's smile disappeared as well, though he still had a face of calm . There was a faint glint in his pupils .

"Fairy, you and I can resolve all grievances with a gla.s.s of wine, but what about Zhang Gui and Yingzi's spirits? Can their lives be saved by a gla.s.s of wine?"

The Peony Fairy's voice cooled down . Behind her, Zhu Mingyu emanated a cold aura . The Peony Fairy said coldly, "I don't know who Zhang Gui and Yingzi are . "

"Of course you don't . " Xiao Bing sneered, "Your order would make countless people die for it . You don't even know who died for you . You don't know who died because of you . Zhang Gui and Yingzi were originally a pair of poor lovers, but they became scapegoats in your plan . You have heard of Zhu Liya, haven't you? The man who pretended to be her husband was Zhang Gui . His real love was Yingzi . "

"Oh . " Peony Fairy looked at Xiao Bing with disbelief in her eyes . "You're prepared to kill me for these two irrelevant people?"

"Yes . "

"Why?"

"Because they both love each other . Because I see what true love means through them . Because there are so few people who love simply and pa.s.sionately like them . " Xiao Bing stared at Peony Fairy . "I saw a hope of affection between men and women in them and you personally dashed this hope in front of me!"

"Love is a kind of unrealistic fantasy . It's just like a bubble . I have merely burst their bubble ahead of time . If they realize that their love is just a fantasy one day, I'm afraid they will suffer even more than death . " Peony Fairy stood in front of Xiao Bing, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng with inexplicable madness . "They are dead and you want to justice for them, is that right?"

"Yes!"

"How do you plan on getting that justice?"

"It's simple . " Xiao Bing looked at Ye Bancheng who had a strange expression and Master Hou whose thoughts were unfathomable . "We're fighters . We can deal with this in our way . " "In front of the two masters, I formally issue the North Heaven Queen a letter of challenge and have a fair duel with her! If I lose, I will die! If she loses, she will leave Jiang City . Peony Fairy, do you dare to agree?"

Ye Bancheng said in a deep voice, "Son, don't be ridiculous . "

They considered Xiao Bing's action stupid because smart people would never make enemies with the underground world . However, Xiao Bing thought his move was smart because this one-on-one method could at least eliminate her advantage of having a large number of people as his rival . It so happened that Peony Fairy had no excuse to refuse . Among fighters, refusing a challenge meant losing the game first . To those in the underground world, their dignity was sometimes more important than their lives .

Xiao Bing smiled and looked at Peony Fairy with burning eyes . Her chest heaved as if she was really angry . Suddenly, she giggled and said, "Very well . . . Mr . Ye, you don't have to say much . Xiao Bing, I, Peony Fairy, a woman, is named one of four Heaven Kings . Why do you think is that?"

Xiao Bing's gaze became solemn as he listened to her . "I often heard that in the circle of a.s.sa.s.sins, the most terrifying ones are women and children . That's because they must have something extraordinary up their sleeves in order to survive in that circle . I think the same can be said for the underground world . "

Her eyes sparkled with a strange light . "Do you think I'm really afraid of you? Well, I ag . . . "

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhu Mingyu, who was standing behind her, suddenly said coldly, "I am willing to accept the challenge!"

Zhu Mingyu's interruption made her frown . Xiao Bing sighed . "What is even more terrifying than women and children is someone who is physically disabled yet determined, especially a blind man . . . "

Zhu Mingyu's face was cold from beginning to end . He was unmoved and said coldly, "All your previous conditions are invalid . I am willing to give you my life if I lose . "

There was a flash of anger in Peony Fairy's eyes . Xiao Bing considered it for a moment . Zhu Mingyu seemed to be her wingman . Since he could not kill her now, it was worth killing one of her wingmen . So he agreed very generously . "I agree!"

The Peony Fairy said coldly, "That's settled then . Two days later, in the underground arena north of the city, you and Mingyu will fight to the death!"

She looked at Ye Bancheng and said indifferently, "Mr . Ye, I'll return with my man first . I hope you will spectate the battle . "

She nodded at Master Hou and then left .

Master Hou also stood up . Seeing Ye Bancheng's intention to retain him, he waved his hand and smiled . "The younger generation will surpa.s.s the previous generation, indeed . I will be at the arena that day to witness the battle with my own eyes . Mr . Ye, I will be taking my leave . Thank you for your hospitality today . "

All of them left . Ye Bancheng's eyes were slightly filled with constancy . He sighed . "Xiao Bing, why are you doing this? Do you think it's worth offending the authority of the underground world of Jiang City for the sake of two people that you don't know at all?"

"I do things only to live up to my conscience . I never care whether it is worth it . Today I'd like to apologize to you both, Uncle Ye and Yezi . I failed to live up to your kindness . But I wouldn't be Xiao Bing if I made peace with her today . "

Dumba.s.s laid down his bowl, revealing a mouth full of grease . He burped and said, "My mom said that I don't have to worry about what other people think . I just live up to my own conscience . "

He patted himself on the chest . Xiao Bing said, "That's not your conscience . That's your t.i.ts . "

Ye Bancheng heaved a small sigh and yet Yezi's eyes were sparkling . She stood up and smiled . "Brother Bing, no matter what you do, I will support you because you are my boyfriend . "

Xiao Bing looked at Yezi's playful smile and eyes that were full of firm support . It warmed his heart . After giving Yezi a look, he looked at Ye Bancheng and said, "Uncle Ye, thank you for your hospitality today . My friends and I will be taking our leave as well . "

Ye Bancheng was not in a very good mood, so he didn't continue to try and make Xiao Bing stay . He nodded and allowed Xiao Bing leave, with Yezi following suit after . Inside the dining room, the only one left was Ye Bancheng .

After leaving Ye Family's manor, a car followed after them . Yezi opened the window and flashed a smile . "Brother Bing, come in . "

Xiao Bing looked at Dumba.s.s with a smile . "What are you waiting for? Let's get in together . "

Inside the car, Xiao Bing touched his belly and laughed . "I didn't have enough to eat . Let's drop off Dumba.s.s at the store first and then you can accompany me for some food . "

"Okay . Is there a tip?"

"Tip for accompanying me to dinner?" Xiao Bing took Yezi's small hand gently and looked at her affectionately . "Your tip is a kiss from me . "

Yezi playfully rolled her eyes at him before protesting coquettishly, "You are getting more and more shameless . "

Dumba.s.s looked out of the window foolishly, allowing Xiao Bing to flirt freely with Yezi . No one knew whether he was getting smart or just happened to be looking out .

They were almost at the noodle house when Dumba.s.s spoke . "Brother Bing, are you really going to fight the blind man?"

Xiao Bing nodded . "Of course . "

"I think the blind man isn't weak . Either way, I have no chance of winning against him . "

"Oh? How do you know that?"

"Feeling . . . My mom said that one-track-minded people like me are more intuitive than others . "

Xiao Bing said curiously, "Then try and get a feeling for this: who between the two of us will have a higher chance of survival in a life-and-death battle?"

"I don't know . " Dumba.s.s shook his head like a rattle . "I only know that if it were me, I might only be beaten . Why don't I take your place and fight him?"

Xiao Bing was surprised . "Why? Since you clearly know that you're no match for him, why do you still want to fight him?"

"Because I'm resistant to beating . . . A normal fight can't kill me . "

Xiao Bing felt a strange sensation in his heart . He gave Dumba.s.s a punch on his strong chest and grinned widely at him . "You're really something . You know, from today on, you're not only my friend . "

Dumba.s.s opened his mouth in surprise . Xiao Bing laughed . "You're also my brother . "

Dumba.s.s pointed at Xiao Bing . "You . . . you . . . you're copying me . "

Xiao Bing widened his eyes . "What did I copy from you?"

Yezi covered her mouth and chuckled .

After sending Dumba.s.s back to the noodle house, Yezi said to the driver, "Take us to a decent restaurant . "

Xiao Bing gently held Yezi in his arms and said softly, "You know . . . I used to treat Dumba.s.s as a harmless friend but he's now a brother of mine . Do you know what does the word 'brother' mean to me?"

"What does it mean?"

"Someone I will treat sincerely and put my life on the line to defend for!"

No one understood why Xiao Bing did this . Who were Zhang Gui and Yingzi? They all looked confused
