"Heh, just because Zhu Rong and Luo Hai defeated the Xu Family, they think they are invincible? The reason why I came to you first is because of the conflict between you and Xu Shengjie. Beside him, Wu Xu was cursing angrily at Chen Yu in a low voice. Zhai Yi closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm the emotions in his heart as he tried to plan his next course of action.
Soon, he opened his eyes. His eyes were full of coldness as he spoke to Wu Xu.
"Since we cannot win over Chen Yu, let's try it out on someone else. I do not believe that other than Chen Yu, everyone else will ignore Xu Shengjie's position as leader."
Wu Xu's heart trembled when he heard the cold killing intent in Zhai Yi's voice.
It seemed that regardless of whether Chen Yu took part in it or not, Zhai Yi seemed as if he was determined to obtain the leader's position.
However, even after so much time had passed, Xu Shengjie still remained standing where he was with a haughty attitude, occasionally sweeping his gaze over the other nine martial artists.
It was as if he felt that there wouldn't be any warriors who didn't know their limits challenging him, and he just continued to persevere like this.
The thought of roping Chen Yu in had not come to his mind. The two people who had colluded with each other very quickly searched for a goal amongst the remaining people.
After a long discussion, their gazes finally fell on Wei Feng, who had luckily succeeded in his challenge.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded their heads. Then, they walked over to Wei Feng, who was standing on the other side of the stage, with light footsteps.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, still did not care about the movements of the other warriors in the stage.
Just when Chen Yu was enjoying this rare tranquility alone.
Zhai Yi and Wu Xu, who had colluded with together, gave up on Chen Yu, their preferred partner.
With unhurried and unhurried steps, the two of them arrived at Wei Feng's side, one on the left and the other on the right.
Wu Xu, who was half a step behind Zhai Yi, was like a house attendant.
Raising his head and receiving Zhai Yi's meaningful glance, he was the first to greet Wei Feng, who had his back facing the two of them:
"Brother Wei Feng...?"
"Err …" Eh? Oh, oh … It's big brother Wu, hello … "Hello …" Wei Feng, who was deep in thought, replied when he heard Wu Xu's greeting.
Wei Feng hadn't gotten used to it yet. He was now on equal footing with a genius like Zhai Yi and Wu Xu.
Wei Feng looked a little panicked at the sudden visit of Wu Xu and Zhai Yi.
"Don't be nervous, you're standing here by yourself, we just came over to say hello …" Wu Xu said politely to Wei Feng with a fake, nice smile on his face.
After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to secretly size up Zhai Yi's expression. Sensing that it was almost Zhai Yi's turn to take the stage, he also echoed:
"Yeah, Wu Xu and I accidentally saw you here alone …"
The three of them huddled together and laughed, talking about meaningless topics. After chatting for a while, Wu Xu finally started to gradually get down to business.
Hidden his eyes, Wu Xu subtly glanced at Zhai Yi, who was standing on the other side of Wei Feng, and only after seeing him nod towards him without leaving a trace behind, Wu Xu cleared his throat and slowly said:
"Cough cough …" Actually, Zhai Yi and I really do have a matter to discuss with Brother Wei Feng this time … "
Wei Feng's nervousness had already calmed down a little. When he heard Wu Xu mention official business, he immediately perked up and assumed a listening posture.
"Brother Wu, why are you being so courteous with me?" "Just say it …"
Seeing that the fish had finally taken the bait, Zhai Yi and Wu Xu looked at each other and gave a crafty smile.
"Brother Wei Feng must have had a tough time obtaining a placing in the Martial Arts Tournament …"
"Sigh, I'm just a nobody, how can I be compared with you two. Actually, even I didn't expect that I would succeed..."2
Wei Feng, who seemed to have been struck by Wu Xu's words, instantly opened his mouth.
Caught off guard, he began to narrate to Wu Xu and Zhai Yi the various grievances he had suffered up to this point in his journey.
As for the two people who didn't care about this at all, they patiently endured until Wei Feng finished what he had to say.
Wu Xu put on an act and lightly patted Wei Feng's shoulder a few times. Then, like an old man understanding his own junior, he softly said:
"Bro, it really isn't easy for you …"
However, he did not forget about the important matter at hand. After he lightly consoled Wei Feng for a moment, Wu Xu bent his head down and whispered the plan that he and Zhai Yi had come up with to Wei Feng's ears.
Wei Feng, who was still immersed in his own world, stared at Wu Xu with a flabbergasted look on his face when he heard Wu Xu's words.
"This... Can it work?! "
With such a reaction, Zhai Yi was able to tell with a glance that Wei Feng had been tempted by Wu Xu's coaxing. He stealthily signaled to Wu Xu from behind Wei Feng, indicating that he could now tell Wei Feng what the two of them had discussed in advance.
"Brother Wei Feng, don't worry. I won't put you in danger because of my character. You just need to act when we're in conflict with Xu Shengjie …"
Wu Xu, who had also seen the ambition in Wei Feng's eyes, threw the last piece of bread at Wei Feng, who had a pure heart, and said sternly:
"When the three of us defeat Xu Shengjie together, Brother Zhai and I will help you secure your position as the leader. If there are others who want to get their hands on us, I, Wu Xu, will definitely make them taste the consequences of looking down on my brother …"
Wei Feng, who had been struggling with his life on the line until now, was almost burst into tears when he heard Wu Xu call him a brother.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and agree, Wei Feng's last remaining strand of reason flashed through his mind. Xu Shengjie was a true Earthly Immortal expert, and even if the three of them teamed up, he probably wouldn't even have a fifty percent chance of defeating Xu Shengjie, right?!
Seeing the solemn expressions on Wu Xu and Zhai Yi's faces, it seemed as if they were very confident about this matter. Could it be …?
While Wei Feng was hesitating, Di Yi, who had thoroughly guessed the minds of the people, knew that everything should be done with ease. At this moment, it was no longer appropriate to force Wei Feng to make a choice right away.
Rather than asking him to express his stance now, he might as well take a step back. If there was no surprise, Wei Feng would definitely stop him and agree to the plan Wu Xu had just proposed.
