Yuqiu Jing was embarrassed and enraged to the point of wishing for nothing more than to find a hole to hide himself in.

It was truly a humiliation!

Just moments ago, he’d been screaming about how Chen Xi’s origins were fishy, and Chen Xi had led their group into a trap. Moreover, it was even to the extent that he’d almost refused to admit that Chen Xi was a companion of theirs.

In the next moment, it was precisely because of Chen Xi that their group was able to obtain the qualifications to enter the Ancestral Root Grounds without undergoing and passing the test!

When these two situations were compared, Yuqiu Jing simply seemed as if he’d taken the initiative to get Chen Xi to slap him in the face, and it was extremely painful.

Yuqiu Jing even felt like crying, yet he found himself to be without tears.

Before they’d arrived at the Ancestral Root Temple, he’d provoked Chen Xi repeatedly yet was crushed in one go, and he’d lost all face then.

Now, his face had been slapped forcefully in public, and this caused a genius from the Imperial Region like him to simply be furious to the point of going mad.

Why?

Why is this fellow like my unlucky star?

It was like a storm was roiling in Yuqiu Jing’s heart, yet Chen Xi couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to him....
