Bai Chenxiang sat in the courtyard, still holding the mysterious ball, her worries never dissipating.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the front door.
"Who is it?"
Bai Chenxiang was slightly startled and got up to open the door.
When the door opened, it was Pei Xijun standing outside. Pei Xijun was dressed in a light blue long dress, with her long hair draped over her shoulders.
Her figure was graceful and slender, and the light blue long dress perfectly accentuated her delicate waist and long legs.
She stood there quietly, like a beautiful painting, her eyes filled with liveliness and curiosity.
"Xiangxiang, long time no see."
Pei Xijun greeted Bai Chenxiang with a smile.
Bai Chenxiang also showed a surprised expression.
"Wow! Xijun, why are you here? Come in quickly."
Bai Chenxiang happily went up and took Pei Xijun's arm.
The two walked into the courtyard and sat on the stone chairs.
Pei Xijun looked at the ball Bai Chenxiang was holding and asked curiously,
"What is that you're holding?"
Bai Chenxiang sighed slightly, placed the ball on the table beside her, and said,
"This is a troublesome thing. Xijun, you came at just the right time; I was just wishing I had someone to talk to."
Pei Xijun blinked her eyes and asked curiously,
"What's wrong, Xiang'er? What happened? You look so worried."
Bai Chenxiang was silent for a moment, then slowly said,
"Xijun, there's something I must tell you. Do you still remember that Sha Zhuge?"
Pei Xijun thought for a moment and said,
"Of course, I remember him. They defeated us in the last Speed Clan Soul Chase Battle. He's a very promising young man. What's wrong? Is there a problem with this Sha Zhuge?"
Bai Chenxiang lowered her voice and said,
"This Sha Zhuge is actually not a member of our Speed Clan!"
"What? Not one of our clan members?"
Pei Xijun's eyes widened in surprise.
"He is Tang San in disguise."
Bai Chenxiang explained.
"Who is Tang San? Why would he disguise himself as a member of the Speed Clan?"
Pei Xijun asked, puzzled.
Bai Chenxiang then told Pei Xijun the whole story, from beginning to end.
After listening, Pei Xijun's face showed a speechless expression.
She frowned slightly, seemingly recalling something, then said,
"No wonder at first, that Sha Zhuge had such deep hatred for your Zhuge Lan. At the time, we were all wondering how they seemed to have a blood feud at their first meeting. But this Tang San is really bold, to dare to disguise himself and infiltrate. So what are you planning to do now?"
Bai Chenxiang said helplessly,
"Zhuge Lan said that as long as I announce his departure on the day of the finals, Tang San will naturally leave here. But I'm still worried, what if he doesn't leave, or gets angry and does something extreme?"
Pei Xijun frowned slightly, cupped her delicate chin with her hand, and slowly said,
"It is indeed a bit worrying. But what is that ball for?"
She looked at the ball placed on the table.
Bai Chenxiang shook her head:
"I don't know either. Zhuge Lan didn't say, he just told me to hit this cotton ball if Tang San had an extreme reaction."
Pei Xijun picked up the ball and examined it carefully.
Then she gave the ball a good whack...
She looked at Bai Chenxiang curiously:
"How do I hit it? Like this?"
Bai Chenxiang spread her hands and said,
"Probably. I'm not sure either. I saw Zhuge Lan sometimes take this thing out before and hit it like you just did."
Pei Xijun pouted, nodded, and said,
"Hmm? Don't even mention it, hitting this is quite stress-relieving."
...
At this moment, Tang San, who was originally sitting quietly by the lake with his eyes closed,
was instantly blasted into the lake by this sudden air punch.
Tang San climbed out of the lake in a sorry state, his face full of anger and confusion.
He completely didn't understand where this inexplicable attack came from.
He wiped the water from his face, his eyes flashing with anger, and he thought to himself:
Who is playing tricks in the dark?
"This looks so ordinary, can it really have such a big effect?"
Pei Xijun was still studying the ball, asking doubtfully.
Bai Chenxiang sighed:
"I'm not sure either. But now I can only trust Zhuge Lan."
The two were silent for a while, then Pei Xijun suddenly said,
"Xiang'er, did Tang San, disguised as Sha Zhuge, reveal any other flaws in the clan?"
Bai Chenxiang thought for a moment and said,
"Currently, I haven't found any other obvious flaws. But the name he gave himself is really too awkward. Sha Zhuge, if you read it slowly, it's 'Kill Zhuge.' It's clearly a provocation."
Pei Xijun couldn't help but laugh:
"That name is too funny. Tang San really is creative."
Bai Chenxiang also smiled helplessly:
"Yes, at first, none of us noticed. It was only after Zhuge Lan reminded me that I discovered this secret."
Pei Xijun put down the ball and asked,
"So, do the people in the clan still not know Sha Zhuge's true identity?"
Bai Chenxiang nodded:
"Besides me and Zhuge Lan, no one else knows. He disguised himself so well that I didn't even realize it until Zhuge Lan told me. But I also didn't dare to easily tell others, for fear of causing unnecessary panic."
Pei Xijun nodded understandingly:
"Indeed, this kind of thing needs to be handled carefully. So, if Tang San really doesn't leave on the day of the finals, what do you plan to do?"
Bai Chenxiang frowned slightly:
"I don't know either. I can only take it one step at a time. I hope he doesn't do anything extreme."
Pei Xijun held Bai Chenxiang's hand and comforted her:
"Xiang'er, don't worry too much. Maybe things won't be as bad as we imagine. Besides, even if he dares to cause trouble within our Speed Clan, aren't the Elders there? If not, we're here, right? Lu Lingfeng and I will keep an eye on his movements. Don't worry, we're not afraid of him!"
Bai Chenxiang forced a smile:
"Hmm, I hope so. Xijun, what have you been busy with lately?"
Pei Xijun's face broke into a smile when she heard Bai Chenxiang's question, and she said,
"I've been studying herbs recently. You know, I've always been very interested in medicine, and this period happens to be the off-season for the competition, so I've been completely immersed in it."
Bai Chenxiang teased,
"Just, just studying herbs? Haven't you gone on any dates with Lu Lingfeng or anything?"
Pei Xijun's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard Bai Chenxiang's teasing, but her eyes were full of sweetness.
"Oh, Xiang'er, don't talk nonsense. But, I have indeed gone out a few times with Lingfeng recently, and we actually encountered something quite interesting."
Pei Xijun said.
Bai Chenxiang's interest was immediately piqued.
With an expression of eagerly awaiting gossip, she quickly urged, "Tell me, tell me!"
