Martial Peak

Chapter 2798, As Good As Mine

The corridor in front of Yang Kai was the intermediate space of the fifth layer. It was a place anyone could enter, provided that they found the entrance in the fourth layer.

[No wonder Lei Ting was waiting here. It’s because he expected me to come to the fifth layer.] “Aren’t you going to go and check it out, Brother Lei?” Yang Kai asked, tilting his head and glancing at the dark and deep entrance before them.

“I’m not in a hurry,” Lei Ting replied faintly.

Yang Kai counted with his fingers, “If I remember correctly, the Five Coloured Treasure Pagoda will close in just a few days. You won’t get the chance to enter the fifth layer again if you don’t hurry.”

Lei Ting sneered, “That only applies to you.”

He was the nephew of Star Soul Palace’s Great Elder and one of the leading figures of Star Soul Palace’s younger generation. Since the Five Coloured Treasure Pagoda was opened once every three years, he could enter as many times as he wanted as long as he was willing. Therefore, he was naturally in no hurry to explore the fifth layer. On the contrary, Yang Kai only obtained this opportunity by chance. If he did not make the most of this opportunity, he might not have another chance to enter the Five Coloured Treasure Pagoda again.

“That’s true,” Yang Kai rubbed his chin and smiled brightly, “If that’s the case, I’ll be going on ahead.”

“Where are you going?!” Lei Ting roared. He securely locked Yang Kai in place, his posture seeming to indicate that Yang Kai would suffer grave consequences if he so much as dared to take another step forward.

Yang Kai frowned and said impatiently, “Brother Lei, we have nothing against each other. Why are you being so aggressive?”

Lei Ting sneered, “It’s true that we have nothing against each other, but you are such a rare opponent. How can I let this chance slip away so easily?”

Yang Kai pondered for a moment before glancing at Lei Ting solemnly, “That’s just an excuse, right? The biggest reason is the Princess, right?”

Lei Ting blushed furiously and waved his hand dismissively, “What are you talking about? Please don’t speak nonsense.”

Yang Kai grinned and said, “I can tell that you are deeply in love with the Princess, Brother Lei. You are worried that my appearance will arouse the Princess’s interest, so you want to use force to prove your strength and make the Princess look at you differently.”

Lei Ting looked embarrassed, “Is it that obvious?”

Yang Kai pointed at his eyes and retorted, “It’s not like I’m blind.”
