When Starlight Falls, When You Wake Up

Chapter 81 I Am Willing to

Xing Jie walked over from aside and said unhurriedly, still with natural breath like an immortal on his body.

After he said that, he attracted all people's eyes in the mansion. Everybody was surprised. Although the elder Xing Zhen was in charge of this test, he didn't dare to put on airs in front of the first young master, and he was at a loss for words for a moment.

The master of the Xing family, Xing Ye, broke the ice and got up slowly. He looked at Xing Jie and asked, "Jie, why did you say that?" His tone was doubtful, but there was rare gentleness. All people present knew that this master would show such an expression only in front of his first son.

Xing Jie bowed to Xing Ye respectfully and then answered, "I want to say that in fact, if Mu Yunfei and his two companions didn't help us this time, perhaps we wouldn't stay alive and show up in front of you.

"Because I am too conceited, I almost put Xing He and Xing Fan in danger. As for the final points, if Mu Yunfei didn't share the points with us out of kindness in the end, we couldn't be the final winners. So no matter what happened, logically, we have lost."

Xing Jie said a lot of words without a pause as if he was reading a prepared speech draft. But as a result, he made all people present fall into silence.

Xing He had been arrogant because they won, and he wanted to say something after hearing Xing Jie's words, yet in the end, he controlled himself and lowered his head. Although he was reluctant, he could do nothing. At least, he didn't have a say at this hour.

Mu Yunfei was shocked as he hadn't expected that Xing Jie would say something like this or give up the victory to them. They had saved Xing Jie and his siblings, but logically, the points should be halved. After all, they had defeated the murdering bear with a skirt jointly, and Xing Jie showed the decisive effect in that battle. Yet now, he...

"Young Master Jie, this..." The elder Xing Zhen looked baffled and glanced at Xing Ye sitting in the master's seat behind him. Under the situation, he had to ask the family master to decide which side had won, and he couldn't make a decision.

He had much courage to declare that the young master Xing Jie had won, but it was a difficult challenge for him to announce that Xing Jie had lost. Even though he was in the Initial Term of Grade 4 at the Top Stage of Red Bloodline, he still had scruples. This young master Xing Jie's teacher was somebody that he and even the whole Xing family didn't dare to offend, and even his father would show respect after seeing that great master.

Xing Ye stood up slowly and looked at Xing Jie and then at Mu Yunfei and his two companions once more. He seemed to have made up his mind, while it was difficult for him to speak. It was a bad feeling for him, a resolute man, and he even hated it, but it really happened to him.

He took a deep breath and his eyes became deep again. He asked coldly, "Xing Jie, it's related to our family's future. Are you sure about your choice?"

As the master of the Xing family, he needed to consider many things, and every step would decide the family's life or death, yet he still wanted to believe his son because Xing Jie's teacher once told him that this kid would be uncommon in the future and lead the Xing family to make brilliant achievements. Because of this, he was so patient and trusted his son so much.

"I am sure that Mu Yunfei and his two partners representing the Elemental Star Headquarters won this competition," Xing Jie replied, still in a peaceful tone, looking into his father Xing Ye's eyes.

Xing Ye seemed to have predicted the result, and he sighed. "Fine. Our family has a history and tradition of hundreds of years on the Soil Planet. If it's really like you said that the Soil Planet would have great changes, the Xing family absolutely can't stand by and do nothing. We will surely support the Elemental Star Headquarters."

Although he didn't express that the Xing family would join the Elemental Star Headquarters, the meaning of his words told all people that their family would make friends with the Elemental Star Headquarters.

However, next, Xing Ye continued, "But, as the future master and the successor of our family, Xing Jie will never leave here and carry out tasks with you. We agree to give a hand as our bounden duty when the Soil Planet is in crisis, yet it doesn't mean that we will be dispatched randomly by the Elemental Star Headquarters, and the future family master will never run around for your tasks."

His voice was simple and vigorous, with irresistible power. Obviously, he told Mu Yunfei and his two partners that what he said just now was the limitation that their family could accept. If they wanted to ask for more, they were just daydreaming, and it might cause the end of their cooperation.

However, the main purpose of this task was not to cooperate with the Xing family, although it was a big part. Their real goal was to ask Xing Jie to join their team and take actions with them to carry out the next task. Although they didn't say what task it would be, with his sharp intuition, Mu Yunfei could feel that the future task couldn't be finished without Xing Jie.

Mu Yunfei didn't answer in a hurry. At the moment, he was thinking quickly about how to use the advantages they already owned to gain more advantages. Under the current situation, it was dangerous inevitably to do that, and it might even challenge the Xing family's bottom line, but he had to do it.

He breathed slowly and calmed down. Then he opened his mouth, saying, "Master Xing..."

"I am willing to." The cold voice appeared again and interrupted Mu Yunfei. It was from Xing Jie.

Mu Yunfei turned his head, to find that Xing Jie was looking at him, with other emotions in his eyes, which were not as calm as water like before, yet they just showed only for seconds and then disappeared.

"What did you say?!" Xing Ye was shocked by Xing Jie's sudden voice, but soon a fit of uncontrollable anger was in his heart, and he rebuked in a rage.

Xing Jie suddenly spoke earlier, which showed his kindness and gratitude, while as he said once more, he just challenged the master's authority in Xing Ye's opinion. Even though it was his son, and his name was Xing Jie, he couldn't do it, at least now.

Great oppressive breath was released from Xing Ye's body all of a sudden and enveloped everything on the spot. All people except the elder Xing Zhen felt the unbearable oppression, as if thousands of huge rocks pressed their chests, and they could hardly breathe.

"Say it again!" Xing Ye was furious and glared at Xing Jie, roaring.

It seemed that his deep eyes could erase people from this world, which made Xing He and Xing Fan behind Xing Jie fall backward. Only Xing Jie was left standing there, and his calm expression didn't change under the horrible strength. He stated impassively, "I said that I am willing to join the Elemental Star Headquarters and carry out tasks with Mu Yunfei." His tone was unhurried and emotionless, as if he were just declaring a fact.

"Bastard!" Xing Ye reproached. "You know what you mean to the Xing family. How can you rely on the Elemental Star Headquarters and allow them to order and appoint you?" The Xing family was at the top of the other powerful families all the time in the past hundreds of years, so the family members were arrogant and unruly and wouldn't bow to any force easily, especially the master Xing Ye.

"Your thoughts are too old-fashioned and should be changed," Xing Jie still replied peacefully without hesitation.

However, that was what Xing Ye could hardly accept. He turned his rage into actions and waved his hand. The air around was boiling at once, and explosive energy showed up from Xing Ye's hand. Next second, he came over and stood in front of Xing Jie.

Mu Yunfei was familiar with such a status, which was the unique Zone Power of the members of the direct line in the Xing family, Explosion Zone, while the Explosion Zone released by Xing Ye was totally different from that of Xing Jie and Xing He. A single ordinary punch under his Explosion Zone seemed to have horrible power like explosion.

Xing Jie didn't dodge but watched as the punch got close to his face. All people closed their eyes and could hardly imagine what Xing Jie's handsome face would look like after being punched.

However, at this moment, a voice appeared unhurriedly, and it seemed to exist in the air. All people could hear the voice yet couldn't see anybody. "Master Xing, please show mercy." A wisp of invisible power enveloped Xing Jie suddenly and showed faint golden light. Next second, it resisted Xing Ye's punch.

With no energy wave, the force produced by the punch was absorbed by this magical power gradually and didn't leak at all.

Then an old man in white appeared in front of all people out of the void.
