Chapter 1040 - 1039: Absolute Protection, Complete Trust

Beaten so badly?

Qin Xin’s eyes chilled: "Who did it, where, take me there."

Those mere nine words made the surrounding students involuntarily shiver.

This Lan fellow always seems so calm and indifferent, yet when he gets angry, it’s a bit terrifying.

Ding Dou stammered: "It was those students from the Student Union, provoking Brother Si, God Ao, and Mr. Bai, then maliciously led them to the grove on the other side of the field, suspended them and beat them up. Without powers, they really suffered, nearly beaten to death, sob sob..."

Ding Dou was so nervous he was incoherent.

Jing Zhichen followed Qin Xin’s footsteps, scanned around, and then noticed that Si Moyu, Ao Xinghao, and Bai Chi were no longer in the audience.

Earlier, his attention was focused on accepting awards with Qin Xin, meeting the Dean, delaying for Qin Xin to acquire her files, unexpectedly failing to notice when they disappeared.

"They were too impulsive..." he frowned, "Knowing they couldn’t win, why still go for a solo challenge? Why not wait until after the competition to go together?"

Confronted with the trouble these three caused Qin Xin, he instinctively criticized.

Qin Xin’s pace was quick, her voice deep: "No. There must be hidden reasons. I’ve instructed Ao Chongchong, he wouldn’t act lightly."

Ao Chongchong is always smart and trustworthy, she instructed not to go halfway, to wait for her, he certainly wouldn’t act impulsively.

Jing Zhichen choked a bit.

No further rebuttal.

Then a faint melancholy rose in his heart: he knew she protected them well, but didn’t know she was protective to such an extent, completely protective, absolute trust.

For some reason, a slight sourness also emerged.

He originally thought he was the one she solely trusted, but it turns out those three are just as important.

Jing Zhichen sniffled, stopped his criticism, and quickened his pace to catch up.

Under Ding Dou’s guidance, the three arrived at the grove on the other side of the field.

From a distance, angry curses and cries were heard from the grove:

"You bastards, if you have the guts, kill me, what skill is it to whine here? What power users, I see you’re a bunch of toads just jumping around, what happened to fighting after the competition, you’re scared to fight, only tricking us saying little Qingxin was caught here, purposely leading us into a trap, you useless cowards only play dirty tricks, ahh, my leg..."

Si Moyu and Ao Xinghao didn’t speak, Bai Chi was hung up in the tree but was the one shouting the fiercest.

A fire-type power user, angry enough, conjured a fireball, aiming straight for Bai Chi’s feet!

The pain made Bai Chi cry out again.

And Si Moyu and Ao Xinghao weren’t quiet due to modesty or politeness, but because a water-type power user was gathering a water ball to block their heads, making them nearly suffocate!

Even though Ao Xinghao was skilled as a swimming team athlete, able to hold his breath well in water, being sealed by a water ball, no one could last past three minutes!

As for Si Moyu, needless to say, his lung capacity was naturally large, his nervous system unusual, under such circumstances he couldn’t even hold out for a minute.

Seeing this tragic scene, Jing Zhichen somewhat regretted speaking impulsively earlier, saying the three were too rash.

They were tricked.

They thought Qin Xin went to the Dean’s office to check files, not to duel with the Student Union seniors in the grove.

Their eagerness to protect her led them into this trap.

Honestly asking himself, if it were him, he might have had a heated rush too, completely unaware it was the opposition’s scheme, and his first instinct would be to rush here to save her.
