Upon hearing such an unbelievably aggrieved statement, Cao Ya was utterly disgusted!
No!
Not just disgusted, he was about to puke...
He felt as if they were docile little wives who had been wronged.
Suppressing the tumultuous feeling in his stomach, Cao Ya impatiently furrowed his brows and spoke coldly, "Stop with this disgusting act! The reason I hit you before was because you were out of your minds!"
After being scolded like that, they exchanged glances and protested again, "But we were really close to hitting him at that moment!"
"Thatâs right!"
"You guys are really stubborn, arenât you!"
Cao Ya nearly went crazy and screamed furiously once more...
Cao Ya thought they should have realized by now, but it turned out they were still clueless.
"Weâre not stubborn; we really felt like we were about to win!"
"Thatâs just your feeling! And itâs an absolutely wrong feeling!"
After saying this coldly, Cao Ya sneered and questioned, "Letâs set this issue aside for now. Tell me, how does your strength compare to mine?"
"We... weâre no match for you at all!"
Although unsure why Cao Ya asked this, they obediently spoke the truth.
They knew, their strength was far inferior to Cao Yaâs.
To say the least, they were absolutely not on the same level.
Upon hearing their response, Cao Ya raised his hand...
They instinctively stepped back another dozen steps.
"Damn it!"
Seeing their panicky retreat, Cao Ya cursed under his breath.
Soon, he lowered his face and said, "Come here, I told you, I wonât hit you."
"Yes!"
They exchanged glances and awkwardly moved closer again.
Seeing them return, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "Look at my hand!"
They glanced quickly, a twitch in their eyes.
It was because they saw Cao Yaâs hand was nearly swollen.
"Whatâs going on?"
They asked in utter bewilderment.
Seeing their shocked expressions, he sneered, "This swelled up when I was fighting Hu Xiaobei earlier."
"How is this possible!"
They were full of disbelief, thinking it was surely a lie...
Hu Xiaobei couldnât possibly have the strength to do that, as his real strength was only slightly better than theirs...
Seeing their complete disbelief, Cao Ya sneered, "How is it not possible? This is the truth! I had no resistance against him at all, yet you guys almost beat him? Do you think thatâs possible? Is that possible?"
The repeated questioning made them start to doubt...
"Could it be that he was really just playing dumb before?"
"Do you count as tigers? To put it bluntly, youâre not even pigs! Even now, you still think you won. Just think, youâre really idiots!"
Being mocked like this, their eyelids twitched furiously...
They knew Cao Yaâs words were harsh, but they were true.
Previously, they had truly been messed around.
"Looks like this Hu Xiaobei is really impressive!"
They exchanged startled glances repeatedly...
Seeing their terrified expressions, Cao Ya knew they finally understood.
With a sneer, he said, "Alright, donât make such mistakes anymore in the future!"
"Big bro, what do we do now?"
"Yeah!"
Nodding anxiously, they asked nervously...
"What do we do? Of course, we go back and get reinforcements! What else can we do!"
Cao Ya sighed helplessly...
He knew neither he nor they could take on Hu Xiaobei, so to seek revenge, they had to get reinforcements.
Hearing Cao Yaâs suggestion, they fiddled with their clothes and muttered nervously, "But big bro, we previously swore we would definitely complete the task!"
"Thatâs right!"
They spoke apprehensively, knowing going back now would surely bring punishment because they had sworn an oath before.
"I know about the oath, but even if itâs sworn, we canât go off to our deaths without reason, right?"
"True!"
Upon hearing their response, Cao Ya continued, "Alright, letâs go back and properly explain. I think itâs not a big issue!"
"Okay!"
They nodded vigorously, having gained a clearer understanding of their intelligence from recent events, so now they were truly afraid to act recklessly.
Feeling their compliance, Cao Ya sighed in relief.
He was really worried these two idiots would continue spouting nonsensical ideas...
...
"How did you feel after taking a stroll earlier?"
In the gazebo, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Jing and the others, smiling as he asked.
"Great, everything was great!"
Jing responded quickly.
Upon hearing such an excited response, Hu Xiaobei turned to the others and asked, "Did you all feel great too?"
"Yes, we also felt great! To be honest, thereâs just one small downside!"
"Small downside?"
Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes, and Jing also squinted, curiously looking over, not sure what they meant by downside.
In Jingâs view, the previous trip should have scored a full ten.
"Yes, the downside is that Jingâs sense of direction is getting worse. She directly led us to get lost earlier."
"True, and she stubbornly claimed that she wasnât wrong!"
"Haha!"
Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ya laughed.
Jingâs expression became slightly awkward...
Stomping her little foot angrily, she muttered softly, "I... I just made a mistake. Normally, I really donât get lost!"
"Really?"
Everyone looked at her skeptically.
Knowing no one believed her, she stomped her foot angrily and quickly ran away...
After witnessing this, the others laughed and quickly chased after her...
Seeing almost everyone leave, Hu Xiaobei turned to Lin Ya and said calmly, "See? They are much more cheerful now than before!"
"Yes!"
She nodded lightly...
She had noticed this too!
Previously, she had tried to protect everyone by keeping them all close to her.
She thought that would safeguard them!
Now she realized it didnât; it actually suppressed them.
Seeing Lin Ya nodding, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "When thereâs time, let them go out more often."
"Yes! I will!"
Nodding lightly, she turned to Hu Xiaobei, suddenly changing the subject, "Xiaobei, you won before, but I think they definitely wonât let it go easily. So, I think you should prepare well."
"I will prepare."
Hu Xiaobei looked at Lin Ya and nodded gently!
When a lion attacks a rabbit, it goes all out...
Hu Xiaobei will never underestimate any opponent, for a single mistake could lead to lifelong regret.
