Chapter 43

Luo Lingfei suddenly felt that Bu Ye was the most despicable person in the world. Even though he had already decided to leave, he still had to torment him before going. At the same time, Luo Lingfei felt that he himself was the biggest fool in the world, trying to drive away someone who was already leaving, only to end up exposing his own petty thoughts.

Luo Lingfei was about to go mad, wishing he could devour Bu Ye alive. However, at this moment, looking at Bu Ye's retreating back, he had no reason to rush forward. His initial goal was to drive the person away, and now that person was already leaving. What was there to chase for!

The anger in Luo Lingfei's heart was almost about to explode his heart, but he had no way to vent it.

However, he never expected that something even more unacceptable would happen.

Suddenly, Qi Yanbin pushed through the crowd and shouted loudly to Bu Ye's back, "Bu Ye, don't go yet!"

Bu Ye had not said many words to this group, most of which were to Qi Yanbin. Most importantly, he once considered Qi Yanbin a friend worth making, so when he heard Qi Yanbin calling him, he stopped and turned around.

Then, Bu Ye and everyone else saw Qi Yanbin stride towards Luo Lingfei, stopping a step away from him, and looking directly into Luo Lingfei's eyes, he asked in a low voice, "If you drive Bu Ye away like this, how are you any different from the enemy Bu Ye spoke of, who uses power to oppress ordinary people?"

Luo Lingfei had expected Qi Yanbin to speak up for Bu Ye, but he never thought Qi Yanbin would question him. He was truly stunned and didn't know what to say.

"The reason you rely on is the fear of Bu Ye from the others." After saying this, Qi Yanbin turned his head and looked at the others, "The reason Bu Ye is being ostracized by you all is because he once killed his enemy."

"But can the possibility of danger really be a reason to ostracize someone? If we talk about potential danger, who among us doesn't have potential danger?! Since we learned that the red light can be absorbed, how many people haven't had similar thoughts?! The only difference is that Bu Ye once killed someone on Earth." "But why do I not see anything bad in his actions? To be honest, his actions remind me of Wu Song. And are you all treating Wu Song with such an attitude?"

"I believe in Bu Ye's character! And I believe in him more than I believe in anyone else! I believe that when our group encounters sudden danger, Bu Ye will not be the first to run away! I also believe that those who run away first are the ones who are still only thinking about themselves!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I must say that we are not actually a group, and I have no obligation to maintain the unity of this non-group. However, since the red light has grouped us together instead of with the people a few miles away, there must be a reason. Do you all understand the environment here? Can you all handle any sudden situation? Most importantly, are you sure that studying the red light alone and creating a world alone will be faster than having discussions and validations?"

"Wake up! Before we fully understand the situation here, put all those twisted thoughts aside! Otherwise, it's likely that not even five of us will survive!"

Qi Yanbin left everyone speechless, and some even lowered their heads in deep thought, actually afraid to meet his gaze.

After about two seconds of silence, Qi Yanbin looked at Luo Lingfei again and called out, "Luo Lingfei."

Luo Lingfei looked up at Qi Yanbin, waiting for what he would say next.

But there was nothing.

In the silence, a shocking scene occurred. Qi Yanbin suddenly raised his right hand and, with lightning speed, backhanded Luo Lingfei's face.

It hit!

The force Qi Yanbin used was so great that the sound was not a "slap" but a bit muffled, as if he had been slapped and punched in the face at the same time...

Luo Lingfei, caught off guard, was completely unprepared and was slapped away, performing a difficult mid-air spin before landing heavily on the ground three meters away.

Everyone was stunned! Including Bu Ye!

Bu Ye even thought to himself, What's going on?

Then, everyone heard Qi Yanbin speak again, but at this moment, the man in his thirties with slightly dark skin seemed even more imposing: "I don't care about these trivial matters! In this group, I don't want to and don't need to make any noise! But if someone dares to make noise without my knowledge, especially those who speak to harm others for their own benefit, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

The entire scene was silent.

Those with bad intentions were intimidated by Qi Yanbin, and those without bad intentions were also stunned.

Yang Ming, at the front of the crowd, had stars in his eyes, liking Qi Yanbin more and more, shaking his head and repeatedly saying "So cool" silently.

Even Nie Ning's gaze towards Qi Yanbin changed. She felt that this was Qi Yanbin's first true appearance in the group.

Luo Lingfei seemed to be forgotten, but he couldn't pretend to be dead. After being completely stunned, he had already come to his senses.

Luo Lingfei quickly got up from the ground, with blood at the corner of his mouth, and shouted fiercely at Qi Yanbin, "You surnamed Qi!"

Qi Yanbin turned to Luo Lingfei, completely ignoring his murderous gaze, and said directly, "It's unlikely you'll apologize, but if you can promise not to cause trouble, you can stay."

Luo Lingfei felt that even now, Qi Yanbin didn't take him seriously and didn't consider him an opponent, almost making him explode with anger. He barely restrained the urge to rush forward and said, word by word, "I respect you as a god, but you treat me like a pile of shit. Very well, very well... I'm afraid you've already forgotten that this is not the starting point, nor is it the online writing circle!"

After saying this, Luo Lingfei walked away without looking back, heading in the direction of the nearest group of people.

Qi Yanbin completely ignored Luo Lingfei and, while he was still within earshot, sincerely said to Bu Ye, who had been watching from a distance, "Bu Ye, studying the red light alone is definitely not as good as staying here and discussing it with everyone. Don't go."

"Thank you for standing up for me. But the words are already out, and it would be embarrassing to go back now. I'll leave, but I won't go far. I'll come back when necessary, so I won't be breaking my word."

Bu Ye easily replied to Qi Yanbin, waved his hand, and then turned to leave, heading in the opposite direction of Luo Lingfei.

The scene was silent, second after second...

Then, a voice suddenly said, "So cool," and a figure rushed to Qi Yanbin like the wind.

Yang Ming appeared in front of Qi Yanbin, heavily patting his shoulder, and praised, "This is the style of a god! Truly impressive!"

Yang Ming's action clearly eased the atmosphere, making many people relax.

But Yang Ming wasn't done. He turned to look in Bu Ye's direction and sincerely praised, "This Wu Song is also pretty cool! But he's a bit shameless, ha ha."

Hearing Yang Ming's words, several people smiled, including the beautiful Nie Ning.

Finally, everyone saw that Bu Ye had only walked about 200 meters away and then "set up camp," clearly just for show...

After this incident, everyone had a more direct impression of Qi Yanbin and Bu Ye.

Qi Yanbin was not as domineering as the protagonist in his historical conquest novels, wanting to unify the entire group and have only his voice. However, he was not domineering but had a commanding presence. He didn't make noise, but he didn't allow others to make disharmonious noise!

This positioning made him both approachable and highly intimidating, truly living up to his reputation as a god.

And Bu Ye?

Everyone was surprised to find that Bu Ye was no less impressive than Qi Yanbin, even though Bu Ye seemed to be taking a completely different path: a path of despicability, evil, and shamelessness...

However, being able to be despicable, evil, and shameless to this extent was also a skill, and most importantly, he was at peace with it! Just look at Bu Ye, who was already sitting down in the distance, supporting his cheek, looking very relaxed.

Moreover, Bu Ye had a bit of Wu Song's shadow.

These were truly two interesting writers! Even Song Sicheng, who usually didn't think much of online writers, couldn't help but think so.

As for Luo Lingfei, few truly cared about him. Even those who originally supported him all changed their stance and fully supported Qi Yanbin.

"Let's all focus on how to use the red light well," Yang Ming broke the silence again, addressing everyone.

This was the real business!

Everyone reacted, immediately gathered their thoughts, and began to study the red light.

The red light was very mysterious, but the process of studying how to use it correctly was quite tedious, and time passed slowly in this tedium.

Unconsciously, more and more people felt drowsy, realizing that their biological clocks were at work, and it was already evening. However, in this world, there seemed to be no distinction between day and night. After a brief discussion, they cautiously decided to take turns keeping watch and then went to sleep.

Soon, a night passed, and then another day.

In total, six days had passed, and two days and one night had already gone by.

Just as everyone was further studying the red light, an unexpected event occurred. Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Look, it seems someone is coming from over there!"

When everyone turned to look, they saw a figure wrapped in a red light flying rapidly from the distance between the surging sea and the ground. Squinting to look closely, the person seemed to be in a panic!
