"It's already dusk. Let's rest here." Fei Yin said as they reached the meadow.

"There's a small hill by the trees. We can hide behind it." Sun Yi said.

"Okay." Cheng Sheng nodded as the four of them walked towards the hill. He then threw talismans and they were pasted on the trees' trunk. When he, Fei Yin, Sun Yi and Wu Xi entered the hill, they disappeared.

Outside the secret realm, the audience were shocked. "WHA - !" they exclaimed as they watched Cheng Sheng and the three others disappeared.

"Concealment Talismans!" Qi Ling exclaimed. It is what he made. "… he's smart." He smiled.

Su Yuan nodded in appreciation. "The walking corpses can't see them, as well as the other contestants." He said as he looked at the Alliance's disciple that left Chen Han's group and went to Cheng Sheng's group after Chen Han's group had settled down in a cave and told him1 to look for Cheng Sheng's group.

They saw the Alliance's disciple entered the Concealment Formation to follow Cheng Sheng's group inside. Then, they saw Fei Yin took out a tent from his qiankun pouch for him and Cheng Sheng to share with. Sun Yi had his own tent while Wu Xi was contented to sleep above the tree and also to watch for the night.

"Da shixiong, was I wrong?" Cheng Sheng asked as he sat on the ground and hugged his legs. He watched Fei Yin arranged the bowls on the side. "I... I didn't want to fight with brother..." he said and sniffed. His shoulders are shaking and his head hung low.

"Cheng-shidi..." Fei Yin called before he sighed. He didn't answer, since he doesn't know how or what to answer.

Sun Yi frowned when he heard what Cheng Sheng said. He went to his1 and Fei Yin's tent and opened it then went inside. "Cheng-shidi." He called. "I thought you're a decisive person. I never thought you're actually a coward." he said as he glared at Cheng Sheng.

"But..." Cheng Sheng said.

"If you'll just feel guilty, why did you take her1 in the first place?" Sun Yi asked.

"I... just want to fill our number. She also wanted to come along with us." Cheng Sheng answered.

"Then why did you leave her?" Sun Yi asked.

"If she can't keep up with us, we had to keep up with her, and it'll wear everyone down." Cheng Sheng answered. "This is a competition, and at any second, it'll us be killed instead of us killing the walking corpses." he explained. "I - I don't want for everyone to die. Thus, as the leader of the group, I had to sacrifice someone." he said. "And, we left her with a choice... it's her fault... not m-mine..." his voice broke, and they saw a drop of water fell on the ground.

"Cheng-shidi..." Sun Yi said before he balled his fists. "If you can't be decisive, then I have no choice but to leave!" he said. "As you have said before, a moment of hesitation can take our life. I don't want to stake my life with someone who can't stand by his decision!" he said and left. His face is dark.

Cheng Sheng didn't answer and just lowered his head.

"Cheng-shidi..." Fei Yin called.

"Will you leave me, too, da shixiong?" Cheng Sheng asked. His voice is filled with grievance.

"I won't." Fei Yin answered and knelt beside him. "Don't worry. Your da shixiong won't leave you." he told him and hugged him from behind when he heard Cheng Sheng sobbed.

Outside, Sun Yi frowned when he saw the Alliance's disciple standing on the side. He's clearly eavesdropping. "Tch!" he clicked his tongue at him and flew away on his sword.

Outside the secret realm, everyone saw the scene and felt very conflicted. "So… he actually feels guilty…" they said and wore an expression of guilt. They easily judged Cheng Sheng.

"Cheng-shixiong!" You Rou cried as she burst into tears. Her cries echoed all around, making the guilt in the people's heart become heavier.

Lei Ling's face is filled with tears as he silently cried. "Cheng... shixiong *sniff just because you're the leader, you have to make big decisions..." he hiccupped and immediately wiped his tears, but they kept falling.

"Being a leader is tough. You have to weigh both an individual's life and of the whole team's." Lei Qing said and sadly smiled. A tear fell from her eye.

"I'm glad Cheng-shixiong still has da shixiong - " Lei Ling said as he sobbed.

In the secret realm, the Alliance's disciple, perhaps he felt guilty for eavesdropping, left. He turned to follow Sun Yi, but he saw Sun Yi already disappeared. Thus, he went back to Chen Han's group.

Wu Xi, up in the tree, saw the Alliance's disciple had left. He leaned his back on the trunk of the tree and then slept.

"Cheng-shidi..." Fei Yin called. "It's enough, right?" he asked.

Cheng Sheng's shoulder shook. He raised his hand and wiped his tears with the back of his hand. However, he was grinning. "... damn it - " he cursed and rolled on the floor, laughing.

Fei Yin looked at him and tiredly sighed. "You're really..." he muttered. Such a great actor. He continued in his mind.

"Alright, we're done." Cheng Sheng said as he straightened up his clothes. "Ah... that was a good one. I think that's the best acting I've done so far!" he exclaimed. "Wu Xi." he called.

Wu Xi heard Cheng Sheng's voice and he immediately woke up. He then jumped down from the tree and entered Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng's tent.

"Is this okay?" Fei Yin asked. There're only three of them left.

"Of course." Cheng Sheng said and grinned. "I have to have an assurance!" he said and turned to Wu Xi. "Get ready for tomorrow. It'll be your turn next!" he told him and patted his shoulder.

"..." Do I really have to do it like Sun Yi? Wu Xi thought.

Sun Yi, who was hiding behind a boulder, watched as the Alliance's disciple flew away to the direction of Chen Han's group.

"Are you ready?" Yu Sheng asked as he appeared behind Sun Yi.

"Yeah." Sun Yi grinned as he sheathed his sword. "As I've said, things are always lively around Cheng-shidi." he said as they looked at a figure inside the forest that was running at a fast speed and was going towards the direction of Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin and Wu Xi. Then, at a certain distance, it stopped. "Everyone has a talent to be an actor." he can't help but say as he looked at the hiding figure's face.

"I agree." Yu Sheng said as he remembered no one had guessed he's a foreign being in this world. Then, he looked at the figure behind the tree. His eyes narrowed and a smile formed on his lips.

It's someone they're very familiar with.

In Chen Han's side, everyone was gathered as they cooked dinner.

"Please leave one for Yu Sheng. He'll keep watch tonight." Chen Han told Xiao Le. Yu Sheng had left earlier to scout the area.

Xiao Le surprisingly knows how to cook. Li Tian sat on the side, feeling ashamed.

"Ah Tian." Chen Han called and smiled when he saw Li Tian's shy expression. "It's better you don't know how to cook." He said.

"Why?" Li Tian asked.

"Because I don't want to see you tired." Chen Han answered. When Li Tian's face turned red, he chuckled.

Feng Mo felt blinded and he grimaced. "I wish we could've let the Alliance's disciple send food to Cheng-shidi and da shixiong and the others." he said.

"Sun Yi knows how to cook. He's not stingy when it comes to food… huh?" Chen Han said when they saw the Alliance's disciple had already returned. When did he return? They thought. "You're back." He said.

The Alliance's disciple didn't answer. He looked like he was hesitating before he took out the Cleansing Stone and showed them what happened to Cheng Sheng's group.

"Cheng-shidi…" Li Tian cried while Feng Mo balled his fists in anger. They're mad at themselves. They should've had more faith on Cheng Sheng.

"Ah Sheng…" Chen Han's face is distorted in pain. My younger brother… he thought. "Huh? Sun-shidi?" he muttered when they saw Sun Yi argued with Cheng Sheng. "Sun-shidi, what is he… Sun-shidi!" he called when he saw Sun Yi left in anger. "What the…" he said in aghast.

"They had a disagreement, too…" Xiao Le almost dropped the ladle in shock.

Chen Han balled his fists in anger. "What is going on with everyone?" he asked as he punched the wall of the cave. "Sun-shidi… why would he…?" he asked. First, it was Cheng Sheng. Now, it was Sun Yi. It's just the first day yet everyone is already falling apart.

Li Tian and Xiao Le sobbed while Feng Mo silently cried on the side. The Alliance's disciple noticed the heavy atmosphere and was ridden with more guilt. He silently left and met Yu Sheng who had returned.

"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng asked and his eyes narrowed when he heard everyone was crying inside. "What happened?" he asked. His voice is laced with anger.

The Alliance's disciple hesitated before he showed the Cleansing Stone to Yu Sheng. He didn't expect that when Yu Sheng saw what happened, he punched the tree on the side. The Alliance's disciple was startled and almost dropped the Cleansing Stone.

"Damn it!" Yu Sheng cursed. "If I had known they were this spineless, I wouldn't have teamed up with them!" he said.

Afraid Yu Sheng would hit him, the Alliance's disciple ran away. He missed to see the evil grin on Yu Sheng's face, as well as Chen Han, Li Tian, Feng Mo and Xiao Le coming out of the cave and were laughing.
