Chapter 409 Third round (5)
When Bing Lan came in, she also had a surprised look on her face.
That was because she was looking at Alex, Tammy, and Julius' group.
It was clear that she was surprised to see them here as well, especially since the one that was hurt was a member of Elementia.
After looking at them for a bit, she turned to look at me as if she was asking for an explanation.
I just calmly said, "They are friends that are visiting."
She looked at them once more before nodding with a smile and saying, "I hope that you will keep taking care of my guild members in the future."
Bing Lan as the guild master of Elementia was considered one of the large guild masters, so she had also been involved in the planning of this tournament.
She knew a few things about what would be included in the tournament, so she knew about the first round and how it required people to cooperate. So she figured that the members of her group must have worked with these people and developed bonds with them.
That was good since this was also part of the reason why they were holding this tournament.
They wanted to let the younger generation get to know each other so that they could work together in the future.
Their three groups were surprised to hear this from Bing Lan, but they quickly said that it was no trouble at all.
Tammy even tried to say something else, but she was stopped by a cough from me.
After that, Bing Lan turned to me to ask, "How is he? I've only heard that he's being looked after, but I didn't hear anything other than that."
I told her the same thing as I had told the others, but I was looking at Bing Lan with a strange look after explaining this.
After all, I didn't think that this was the only thing that Bing Lan was here for.
She was the busy guild master of Elementia…
If she could come running whenever a member of her guild got hurt, then she wouldn't have any free time at all.
There was no way that she was here just because Yun Che had gotten injured.
"So we'll just have to wait and see how it goes…" Bing Lan muttered under her breath.
But I suddenly asked, "Guild master, what are you really here for?"
It wasn't just Bing Lan who was surprised when she heard this, the others all seemed surprised by this as well.

Bing Lan looked at me with a strange look for a bit before suddenly saying, "How could you tell?"
I just shook my head with a bitter smile before saying, "Lucky guess."
Bing Lan gave a sigh before looking over at the other three groups.
When they saw this, they realized that this must be something that was private for Elementia, so they didn't stay any longer and excused themselves.
When it was just us, I looked at Bing Lan and asked, "So, what is it?"
Bing Lan didn't say anything as she just gave a sigh and sat down on one of the chairs in this waiting room.
It seemed like there was something weighing on her that stopped her from saying anything, but this wasn't useful for us since we needed to know what she wanted to say.
So I gave a cough and said, "Is there something you want to say?"
Bing Xin came over to Bing Lan's side and patted her hand.
When Bing Lan saw this, she gave Bing Xin a nod before looking up at us and saying, "This matter is partially my fault, but also Elementia's fault."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
We all looked at her with a confused look, as if we couldn't understand what she was saying.
Bing Lan gave a sigh before continuing, "William Reid, he is the son of an old member of Elementia who was with us in the beginning. But because of differing opinions, we had no choice but to let him go. However, William's father, Richard Reid couldn't let things go, so he tried to harm Elementia in the end to get revenge. We had no choice but to put him down and make him disappear."
Bing Lan paused for a bit before she continued with another sigh, "His son William is most likely here to take revenge for his father, which is why he was targeting Yun Che in that fight."
When I heard this, it was like the final puzzle piece was slotted into its position and I could see the full picture.
It was no wonder that William was so hostile towards us.
It turned out that I was right about the fact that we had never met before.
It turned out that he was only hostile towards us because we belonged to Elementia.
That meant that in the next round, if he was matched with someone from our guild…then he would most likely try the same thing.
I looked around at our group and with a sigh, I said, "If you get matched with him, fight him if you're confident. If you're not, then just forfeit the match. We shouldn't underestimate someone who irrationally is seeking vengeance."
Bing Lan nodded in agreement before saying, "The most important thing is that you're all safe."
All of them couldn't help revealing unwilling looks when they heard this.
It was as if they couldn't just let this matter rest.
They wanted to take revenge for their comrade…
But at the same time, it was also something that was decided randomly since we would have to draw for the next round.
In the end, someone did get this chance to fight William.
Since we had all come to see Yun Che, they did the drawing for us while we were gone. They understood the situation, which was why they had accepted having someone draw in our place.
The one that was matched with William in the end was…
Long Shui Ling.
