Everyone looked from Shan Jingfei to Lin Juncheng.
Lin Juncheng remained silent.
Ye Hongxue glared at him. “Answer the question!”
Shan Jingfei also stared at him. “Yes, answer the question! Tell them that Zeyu gave you that mission!”
She couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.
She was so confident that Lin Juncheng would say yes.
To her surprise, when Lin Juncheng spoke, he gave her a bitter smile.
“Shan Jingfei, I’m going to turn down your bribe.”
Bribe?
Did Shan Jingfei try to bribe Lin Juncheng?
Ye Hongxue and her teammates were already seeing Lin Juncheng in a different light, and his reply made them even more suspicious. Ye Hongxue asked, “What bribe? Why did she want to bribe you?”
Shan Jingfei was dumbfounded. She couldn’t understand why this was happening.
Lin Juncheng smiled bitterly. Instead of answering Ye Hongxue, he turned to Shan Jingfei and said in resignation, “I didn’t want to say it because it would affect your reputation, but you kept pushing me.”
Shan Jingfei ground her teeth and glowered at him.
He had turned her down.
Ye Hongxue asked, “What did she force you to do?”
Lin Juncheng didn’t answer, but Ye Hongxue was smart enough to deduce the truth from Shan Jingfei’s past behavior.
She asked, “Did she ask you to make up the story about a second mission?”
Lin Juncheng nodded.
Ye Hongxue said, “How dumb is she?”
Lin Juncheng said, “Very, I guess.”
Very? Furious, Shan Jingfei glared at Ye Hongxue.
Ye Hongxue only shook her head at her. “You’re such an idiot.”
Shan Jingfei’s face went scarlet red.
This wasn’t the first time that Ye Hongxue had called her an idiot.
Ye Hongxue didn’t know what to say. “Is that pretty head of yours just for decoration? Do you ever use your eyes?
“My entire team working together couldn’t hold off those Spirit Stone Worms, but Feng Wu killed hundreds of them all by herself!
“If the others hadn’t fled, she would have killed a lot more!
“Has it ever occurred to you that she can probably defeat my whole team with a single strike?”
Shan Jingfei felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
That abominable Ye Hongxue!
Her words were even more annoying than she was herself!
“You know we can’t possibly defeat Feng Wu, but you tried to send us on a suicide mission. Do you seriously think we are as dumb as you are?”
Shan Jingfei was utterly speechless.
Ye Hongxue was saying nothing but the truth, which was something Shan Jingfei hated to admit.
Ye Hongxue ground her teeth. “Was that your plan? To drag more people to their doom? If Lin Juncheng accepted your bribe and said yes, we would have died because of you!
“You think too highly of yourself!”
“You!” Shan Jingfei retorted. “You haven’t fought her! Why do you think you can’t defeat her?!”
Ye Hongxue shouted, “Everybody in my team knows that!”
