Shi Wenqing's answer stunned everyone present including Hua Longting.
"What did you say? You were plotted against by them?" Hua Longting asked in a deep voice.
"I was trapped by Wei Gujian and Xi Feiyang."
As top martial artists, Wei Gujian ranked the second and Xi Feiyang the fifth. Hua Longting and the others knew that very well.
Wu Xiong looked Shi Wenqing up and down in surprise and whispered, "You were trapped by them. But you're intact."
Shi Wenqing sneered, "I wasn't wounded by them. But they were seriously injured! Xi Feiyang's situation is unclear. But one arm of Wei Gujian used for releasing sword energy has been nearly maimed. As the saying goes, go for wool and come home shorn."
"Shi Wenqing, we're in the meeting now. Be serious!" Du Yuntian frowned and bellowed, mistaking his words as brag.
Albeit silent, the smile around Hua Longting's mouth corner revealed his thought the same as Du Yuntian's.
Everyone did not believe what Shi Wenqing said. He replied, "You guys think I'm boasting? I'll be struck by thunders if I lie!"
"Alright. Now we need to figure out the whereabouts of Ma Jinpeng. Stop kidding." Hua Longting shook hands.
"Chief, you don't even believe me? Except Lin Feidong, all of you know me for two to three years. Have I ever bragged?" Shi Wenqing was angry.
Others' smiles froze on faces after consideration. Shi Wenqing, the straightforward and silent guy, never boasted.
Hua Longting frowned, "What you said is true? You alone defeated Wei Gujian and Xi Feiyang?"
"They failed to ambush me and injured. I did not tell you they were defeated by me."
Xi Feiyang was Shi Wenqing's match. But Wei Gujian was one stage stronger than him. Nobody would believe if he beat up the two without being injured. An explanation that someone helped him was convincing.
"A master aided you?" Hua Longting' s eyes sparkled. The one defeated Wei Gujian must be a super martial artist.
Shi Wenqing was confused about what happened yesterday and did not figure out how Xi Feiyang and Wei Gujian were harmed yet.
"Master…No. Only my sister and Qin Feiyan there. One is the mid level of the primary core stage and the other primary level of the true core stage." Shi Wenqing murmured while recalling.
Hua Longting wave head, "The two combined can't deal with Xi Feiyan, let alone Wei Gujian. He reaches the peak of the true core stage."
"He?" Shi Wenqing was shocked with Qin Dong's image in mind.
"Who?" Hua Longting was impatient to ask further when realizing that Shi Wenqing remembered something.
Shi Wenqing waved head slowly and whispered, "Another person was there. It couldn't be him. He didn't show up from the beginning but blocked one trace of Wei Gujian's sword energy at critical moment…"
"Blocked Wei Gujian's sword energy for you? How's he?" Hua Longting asked.
"He would die if not saving him on time."
"The person seems not to be a master. Albeit powerful, Wei Gujian's sword energy can't take other's life. A commoner can't die even hurt by it."
Shi Wenqing agreed and judged it was not Qin Dong who harmed Wei Gujian and Xi Feiyang. He focused on fighting with Wei Gujian regardless of how Qin Dong fended off Xi Feiyang's harsh attacks for Qin Feiyan. If he had seen that, he could have sensed something weird.
Shi Wenqing was worse at lying. Wei Gujian and Xi Feiyang must be seriously wounded. But the one having injured them aroused suspense.
"Chief, how terrible!" The door was pushed open suddenly and an eager face was shown when the members were contemplating.
Hua Longting asked deeply, "What's up?"
"SiTu Qi brings the masters of Tianwu College to find us trouble!"
"What? Situ Qi comes?" Hua Longting was startled. The others all stood up with exclamations.
