Chapter 186: Running All Over the Field
Si Er mourned those scattered chicken feathers for a brief moment, then voiced his confusion.
“Although I came to watch cockfighting, is this match really just chickens fighting from start to finish? Don’t they have any other soul pets?”
Guagua shook its head. “They do, but they’re all too small and not very combat-capable.”
“They both think the little soul pets still need more time to grow. They’ll bring them out in future tournaments.”
“I see.” Si Er nodded, then asked again, “Are there any other interesting matches?”
Guagua closed its eyes and swept the entire arena with its spiritual sense. When it opened them again, it asked, “Er’er, do you want to watch bullfighting?”
“Huh? Isn’t bullfighting a person fighting a bull? Is there someone fiercer than me?” Si Er’s eyes lit up. “Who’s that brave warrior?”
“Huh? Isn’t bullfighting two bulls fighting each other?”
Guagua looked at him in confusion. “When you humans say cockfighting, it’s two chickens fighting. So I thought bullfighting was two bulls.”
Si Er shook his head. “Cockfighting is two chickens, and cricket fighting is two crickets, but bullfighting is a human fighting a bull.”
“Why?” Guagua felt its brain short-circuiting.
Si Er shrugged. “I don’t know. That’s just how people named it.”
Guagua drooped its long ears. “That sounds strange. So do you want to watch two bulls fight?”
Si Er shook his head. “Not really.”
“Why?” Guagua was puzzled.
Yu Beixuan and the others also looked at Si Er curiously. They all thought two bulls fighting would be more intense.
Si Er said, “It feels like two bulls fighting would be too brutal. That kind of scene doesn’t suit me. I prefer something more chaotic—like chickens and dogs flying everywhere.”
Yu Beixuan suddenly understood. “Got it. Er’er likes lively scenes.”
“Yes, yes! Xuanxuan really understands me!” Si Er grabbed Yu Beixuan’s hand excitedly.
Yu Beixuan smiled. “Second brother will be fighting Yu Feiqing soon. That match will definitely be lively.”
Si Xu quietly took out his communicator and smiled at Yu Beixuan. “Classmate Yu, what did you just call me?”
Yu Beixuan replied calmly, “Second brother.”
“Tsk.”
Si Xu recorded the conversation and sent it off, leaving a message in Yu Beiming’s chat: Your little brother just called me second brother.
Yu Beiming, who was on his way to Central City, tapped open the recording in disbelief. The smile on his face stiffened.
For Xuanxuan’s sake, he had been lying low in Shuangqiao Town all this time. After much hardship, he had finally managed to eliminate Shameless Si and Bai Lianrou. And now Xuanxuan was calling someone else “second brother”?
Yu Beiming smiled faintly, but there was a trace of chill in it. It seemed time to have a friendly exchange with Si Xu.
Although Xuanxuan had chosen to say “second brother” himself, Si Xu deliberately recording it to stir trouble was another matter entirely.
Si Er and Yu Beixuan had no idea what Si Xu had done. The two of them were still holding hands and running all over the arena, looking for interesting matches.
Yu Beixuan felt that nowhere was particularly interesting—but as long as he was with Si Er, anything was interesting.
Si Er, meanwhile, found most spirit beast fights quite entertaining. He glanced here and there, thoroughly enjoying himself.
After running around for a while, guided by Guagua, they arrived precisely at the arena where Si Xu and Yu Feiqing were about to compete.
This time Lu Taiping hadn’t followed. He had been running behind Si Er and the others earlier, but accidentally lost track of them and was now wandering lost in the crowd.
Si Xu had already been standing on the stage waiting, but Yu Feiqing was nowhere to be seen.
When Yu Feiqing finally arrived, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glared fiercely at Si Er.
“Si Er, why did you frame Ranran and get him investigated by the academy, making him lose his competition qualification?”
“Huh?”
Si Er blinked, confused.
Is he even speaking human language? Why can’t I understand him?
But no need to understand. Talking to an idiot only lowers your own IQ, so I might as well throw him—
Just as Si Er was about to toss Yu Feiqing onto the stage, Yu Feiqing suddenly flew backward and landed heavily on the arena.
“Huh?” Si Er was startled.
Why did he suddenly get thrown back?
[Xuanxuan threw him up there. Maybe the two of you really have telepathy.]
Si Er quickly turned to look at Yu Beixuan, only to see him lowering his head and wiping his hands.
Noticing Si Er’s gaze, Yu Beixuan looked up and smiled. “The match is about to begin. I didn’t think he was suited to keep making noise below the stage.”
On Yu Beixuan’s shoulder, the Northern Eagle glanced at Si Er, then at Yu Beixuan, remaining silent but inwardly scoffing.
Spirit beasts couldn’t clearly hear Si Er’s inner thoughts, but as soul pets, they always knew what their own masters were thinking.
The Northern Eagle knew perfectly well that Xuanxuan had just heard Er’er’s thoughts and guessed what he wanted to do, so he acted in advance to win favor.
Tsk, tsk. What a scheming Xuanxuan.
Si Er, however, was unaware of all that. He felt Guagua’s explanation made perfect sense. He and Xuanxuan must truly be in sync.
Si Er beamed. “Xuanxuan’s right. That guy had no sense of public decency, yelling for no reason and even daring to be late for a match.”
“I hope second brother teaches him a good lesson and leaves him too exhausted to make trouble again.”
On the stage, Si Xu waved lightly to signal he understood.
Yu Feiqing felt utterly disregarded. Rage surged through him.
He knew he was no match for Si Er—that little monster had abnormally great strength.
But he had known Si Xu for years. How could he not know exactly how capable Si Xu was? Later, he would definitely give Si Xu a thorough beating and avenge Ranran.
Back when they were in the Si family, Ranran had often been bullied by Si Xu. If Ranran learned he had helped teach Si Xu a lesson, he would surely be delighted.
Yu Feiqing’s thoughts were beautiful, but once the match began, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
As soon as the match started, Si Xu summoned his three soul pets at top speed.
Yu Feiqing truly knew Si Xu well. The moment he saw Si Xu’s summoning motion, he understood his intent and released his own three soul pets as well.
The Yu family adored avian beasts. Like Si Xu in the past, Yu Feiqing had contracted two birds. Now that he was in Azure Dragon Academy, contracting an actual dragon was impossible, but as a loyal follower of the “male lead,” he still managed to contract a Greenwood Flood Dragon.
It even had wings. Mixed among the two birds, it looked perfectly natural—just a bit longer in body.
