Chapter 47
Aside from the intense pain that he was feeling in his stomach now, Fang Lin was also feeling another thing. Confusion.
‘Why master, why?” Fang Lin thought to himself as he rolled around the floor. “Do you really have to do this to me? Did I make you angry earlier?”
While he was still in the floor, he suddenly felt the urge to let out a ‘big one’. Fang Lin paled, knowing that his reputation will be finished if he lets it out here. He then shouted to the bemused Chu Yang.
“Hey! Can I just go out of this match and go to the bathroom? I really need it please!”
But Chu Yang just replied “You can only get out of the arena once the match is finished. I will not allow anyone to get out unless the match is finished.”
“Ahhhh!!!” Fang Lin shouted in frustration. Then if he needs the match to be finished, then he will finish this match as soon as possible!
Flamemaster, upon seeing Fang Lin in severe pain, immediately rushed towards him, together with his teammates. Tang Ya and Venomshade panicked and tried to help Fang Lin. But Flamemaster’s team reached Fang Lin first.
But upon their arrival, Fang Lin let out another agonized shout.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, both of his arms tripled in size, and it looked like it has been hardened beyond recognition. Fang Lin let out one punch to Flamemaster, who immediately made his body coated in fire armor.
“But its for his safety!”
“Safety? No, I think its because you are a selfish bastard! You do not want Fang Lin to be under anyone else. That is why you do not want him to shine here. You treat him as if he was your possession!”
“Then how about you, Xiao Ya? Didn’t you just offer Fang Yu as a reward for this battle stage? How is that any different than mine?”
“How is it different? I did that because I knew that with Fang Lin’s talent, he can easily win the competition. But you? You deliberately wanted to suppress him!
“What choice do I have? Even if he gets apprenticed to an Elder, what benefit will he get from it? I am clearly a good teacher!”
“What benefit? Look around you! Have you even tried to investigate about Fang Lin’s background? I bet you did not, as you are busy playing Armor Man in the Spirit Zoo! Do you know that someone from his former family is out looking for him right now? Even I do not know the reason why they are looking for him. But if you just tried to learn more about your disciple, you could have supported him! If he gets apprenticed here, the sect can fully protect him!”
“I can protect him by myself!”
“By yourself?” Xiao Ya let out an emotionless snicker. “Fang Yu told me all about you. On how you were unparalleled under the Tenth Stage. That may be the truth in the past. But guess what? You are weak now! No matter what you can do now, that is not enough to protect Fang Lin! Wake up! We are not playing games here! Its your disciple’s life at stake!”
“…..”
“Heh, your life in the past must have granted you the privilege to do whatever you want. But look at yourself now. You have no status and no power. If you treat your life now as if everything you want will just come to you, just because you are special, your disciple will pay for that.”
“….”
“You know, Fang Lin can be considered to be my disciple too. Thus it can be also up to me to keep him safe. From what I see, you will just bring your disciple into more danger. I suggest that you keep yourself away from Fang Lin first. Try to ruminate on mistakes, Wang Hao.”
Xiao Ya then continued with a pleading voice
“Please, Wang Hao, try to change. Stop being immature and childish. You are just going to hurt a lot of people once you continue to be like this.”
But Wang Hao just cheekily replied “Separate Fang Lin from me? Do you think he will agree?”
“Why don’t you ask him yourself?”
Wang Hao then saw Fang Lin walking towards him. Wang Hao approached Fang Lin and tried to hug him.
“How do you feel, Fa-”
“Slap!”
Fang Lin slapped Wang Hao’s arms away, as if he did not want Wang Hao’s presence. He then gave Wang Hao a look that Wang Hao could never forget.
It was the look of distrust.
Fang Lin then walked past Wang Hao, who knelt down in despair.
“What do I do now?”
