Chapter 1367

To ensure safety during training, Fan Yi always asks the brothers to check the equipment before heading up the mountain.

If someone sabotaged the rope, they shouldn’t have missed it.

Bei Tianyou said softly, “The opponent was very careful, they probably injected strong acid into the core of the rope, making it completely undetectable from the outside.”

Only then did Fan Yi raise the broken rope to his nose and sniff it.

Indeed, there was a faint pungent smell at the break point, while other parts did not have it.

“I understand now.” Fan Yi nodded and responded.

He clenched his fist hard, turned around, and glanced at the brothers behind him, a cold look surfaced on his face.

Every day before training starts, all the brothers go to the warehouse together to collect the ropes.

Moreover, the ropes are distributed randomly.

If the target was Qin Yu, rather than anyone at random, then there are traces to investigate.

Either the person distributing the ropes has a problem, or someone who later came into contact with Qin Yu has a problem.

“Young Master, now that Qin Yu is injured, what about the selection for the competition?”

“Qin Yu is supposed to participate in the defense department competition?” Baili Xia couldn’t help but ask.

Only now did she understand why Bei Tianyou was so anxious.

If injured during training, it’s the most normal thing.

But now, someone set to compete is injured, and judging by Bei Tianyou’s words, it was clearly intentional, making the opponent’s purpose obvious.

“Yes, Miss Xiaxia.” Fan Yi replied.

“Qin Yu is scheduled to participate in the defense department competition early next year.

His skills are quite outstanding among the brothers, one could say he is the strongest among the three participants.”

“Now that Qin Yu is so severely injured, it will take at least half a year to recover.”

“He won’t make it to the competition early next year, and it’s very difficult for us to select another person as skilled as him.”

Fan Yi explained to Baili Xia about the defense department competition; Bei Tianyou had already told Baili Xia last time, so Fan Yi didn’t hide anything.

This is also what troubles Bei Tianyou the most.

Fan Yi didn’t receive an answer, and at this moment, Bei Tianyou didn’t know whom to find to replace Qin Yu.

“I’ll think about it again.”

He said lightly, then turned around to return to Bi Luo Pavilion.

Until he returned to Bi Luo Pavilion, Bei Tianyou did not speak again.

He just sat on the sofa, barely moving.

The whole person seemed suddenly much weaker.

At dinner time, when the servants came to call them to eat, Bei Tianyou was still silent, absent-minded.

With no other option, Baili Xia had the servant bring the food over.

Bei Tianyou barely ate a few bites before pushing the plate away.

After dinner, Baili Xia didn’t leave; she stayed on the sofa beside him.

Occasionally, she wanted to talk to him, but each time she spoke without anyone responding.

She had thought Nangong Xu would be at Bi Luo Pavilion, so maybe someone else could talk and comfort Bei Tianyou.

But until night, Nangong Xu didn’t return.

Late at night, Bei Tianyou showed no sign of going to sleep.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but say, “Brother You, it’s late, why not go to your room and rest?”

Seeing that Bei Tianyou still didn’t respond, she couldn’t help but call out louder, “Brother You?”

Only then did Bei Tianyou turn his head to look at her, nodded lightly, and stood up to walk to his room.

As he walked, Baili Xia noticed his steps were unsteady, quickly following to support him.

How come in just a few hours, he seems to have weakened so much?
