Chapter 197 Who asked you to meddle in other people's business!
Jing Shu grasped Han Luo's hand and, in a corner where no one else could see, gently bit Han Luo's fingertip to vent his anger.
After biting it, a layer of spiritual energy was applied to it, and the fingertip, which already had only a slight red mark, instantly returned to normal.
Han Luo felt a ticklish sensation, rubbed her fingertips against Jing Shu's palm, and then grabbed Jing Shu's hand in return.
No one could have imagined that the seemingly serious master and disciple had already clasped hands beneath their sleeves...
In another private room.
"Senior Brother He, are you really alright? Why don't we go find the person who bought the pill and buy one? I can lend you some spirit stones first," Xia Qing said worriedly.
He Hao shook his head. "There's no need to go to so much trouble. It's not a serious injury. I'll recover quickly and won't delay my junior sister from doing her mission."
Xia Qing was speechless for a moment. Would this interfere with her mission? Three hundred lightning whips weren't considered serious injuries? Did they really think her body was made of iron?
"Let's go downstairs then. We can't buy high-grade pills, but we can still buy ordinary ones," Xia Qing suggested.
"it is good......"
Before He Hao could get up, the door to the private room was suddenly opened from the outside.
He Hao turned his head and looked around. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could he have run into Jing You here?
But the hallucination spoke.
"Let me see if you're dead," Jingyou said stiffly.
Not an illusion.
A smile finally appeared on He Hao's face. "Don't worry, you won't die."
Jing You's brows furrowed deeply. This was the first time he had ever seen He Hao so weak—his face was pale and bloodless, and even his spiritual energy was chaotic. He didn't need to look to know that He Hao was covered in injuries beneath his clothes!
The whipping punishment used by the Yaoyang Sect is not an ordinary whip, but a specially made thunder whip, which is carried out by the elders of the Discipline Hall. One lash can shatter the protective spiritual power of those below the Golden Core stage.
Even if He Hao is a Golden Core cultivator, three hundred lightning whips, while not necessarily fatal, would definitely cause serious injury.
Jing You walked up to He Hao and said coldly, "Who asked you to meddle in other people's business!"
He Hao's smile froze slightly. He turned to look at Xia Qing, whose guilty conscience was written all over her face. He knew who had snitched at just one glance.
While the two sides were deadlocked, Xia Qing had quietly slipped out of the room, leaving the two of them with private space.
"It's not that I'm meddling; you can think of it as me atoning for something..."
He Hao slowly lowered his head. "I didn't let any of those who bullied you back then get away with it, including my father..."
However, he is, after all, my father, and most of the wrongdoings he committed were because of me, so I took the whipping for him...
As for me, you've probably heard her say that I returned the position that wasn't mine...
"I already said we're even!" Jing You suddenly grabbed He Hao's collar and said angrily.
"Who wants you to mind your own business?"
He Hao was forced to raise his head, his face expressionless. "It doesn't count."
"What?" Jingyou was stunned.
“I said, what you say doesn’t count,” He Hao said, enunciating each word clearly.
“I treated you like that, and you just beat me up, even going so far as to show mercy, without affecting my later matches at all. What kind of settlement is that?”
Jingyou, what I'm doing now is the justice you should be seeking.
But now that I've done everything for you, we're truly even.
Seeing that Jing You was silent, He Hao assumed that he felt the punishment was too lenient and said softly.
“I know that if you hadn’t met Jing Shu, you would have been killed by my father long ago…”
My father is currently only imprisoned on the Cliff of Repentance. If you're still not satisfied, you can take my life at any time.
This was the only way He Hao could think of to make amends to Jing You.
"Snapped--"
He Hao's face was slapped hard by Jing You, so hard that his own hand started to hurt.
"Is your life so worthless? He Hao! You're really an idiot!" Jing You said through gritted teeth.
He Hao is right, he's not satisfied at all! He just wants the Grand Elder dead!
However, this has nothing to do with He Hao. He doesn't believe in the idea of children paying for their fathers' debts. If He Hao hates him or wants to kill him in the future, he doesn't care and will fight to the end.
But seeing He Hao's worthless life, which he could just take away as he pleased, Jing You became inexplicably angry.
He Hao's right cheek swelled up quickly, and even his mouth was bleeding.
However, He Hao smiled.
"Jingyou, you never intended to settle things with me."
He Hao raised his hand and grabbed Jing You's wrist, which was gripping his collar. His eyes showed a glimmer of hope, and his smile gradually brightened.
"Jingyou, you still consider me your friend, so you don't want me to pay with my life, right?"
Perhaps He Hao's smile was too dazzling, Jing You loosened his collar, and He Hao's hand also loosened.
"Stop flattering yourself..."
Outside the room, the magical artifact finally made its appearance. Bei Yan'an immediately set the price at ten times the original starting price, and no one in the room raised the bid.
"Then what's the reason you're here? Isn't it because you're worried about me?" He Hao chuckled.
He Hao's tense nerves finally relaxed. He had been planning these things even before the sect competition ended, as this was his way of giving Jing You an explanation for the past.
He never intended to tell Jingyou that Jingyou now has his own life and he didn't want to disturb him.
And now, to everyone's surprise, Jingyou doesn't hate him; in fact, he still considers him a friend!
Thinking about it this way, He Hao's persistent, throbbing wounds seemed to have eased considerably.
Just as Jing You was about to retort, an unexpected event occurred on the auction stage. The magical artifact that was about to be won by Bei Yan'an suddenly changed, bursting forth with intense purple light. The auctioneer quickly opened the barrier.
Jingyou was also drawn to this sudden situation, his expression quite solemn. "This is actually a divine artifact!"
The entire audience erupted in excitement; this was a divine artifact! The auction price soared rapidly.
Bei Yan'an frowned slightly. When that person brought it for verification, it was clearly verified to be a high-level magic artifact, the Glazed Lamp. He also claimed that it was a high-quality replica of the divine artifact, the Nine-Turn Glazed Lamp.
But now it seems that this is clearly the real Nine-Turn Glazed Lamp, no wonder... no wonder that person insisted on auctioning it off!
This was the first time Bei Yan'an had been cheated in business, but...
Bei Yan'an quickly regained his usual expression, even with a faint smile.
That's even better; with this powerful artifact, his chances of success are even greater!
