  The person that suddenly jumped in with with punches flying is none other than his own buddy – Gao Ke.

  Gao Ke had nothing to do at night, and was planning to find Xiao Tianyu to play card games, but overheard Zhang Zian and Xiao Tianyu’s conversations. When Xiao Tianyu admitted that he had secretly used their drinking water to wipe down his body and kept it a secret, he could no longer hold in his anger and rushed up to serve up some punches to Xiao Tianyu.

  He wasn’t just doing it for show, but really putting his energy into those moves, making Xiao Tianyu grunt like a pig on its way to slaughter.

  The horrible climate in the desert makes it heart to keep calm, and the high temperature has been grinding on everyone’s patience and sanity. There’s a bundle of explosives in everyone’s heart, waiting for just the right time to explode. Some people have greater self control, while some of them don’t, igniting at the slightest spark.

  Gao Ke was the latter.

  He had been proud of being the assistant leader of the expedition team, and he was the one that had initiated the protest against Peter Lee for having to climb sand dunes.

  Right now, seeing that Xiao Tianyu has done something so embarassing, he couldn’t hold in his anger anymore. The dynamite in his heart had found a spark and ignited.

  Zhang Zian couldn’t help but feel satisfaction seeing Xiao Tianyu getting punched, but Gao Ke gyms often and is a strong man. It’s alright if the punches only made Xiao Tianyu call out in pain, but it would be out of hand if Xiao Tianyu really got injured. The expedition team already has too many burdens, they can’t add on to it anymore.

  So, after observing for a few seconds, Zhang Zian moved to pull Gao Ke’s fist back, convincing him to let it go.

  Xiao Tianyu’s cries of agony and Gao Ke’s cursing alerted the whole camp, and everyone put down the things on their hands to rush over, not knowing what had happened.

  When Weikang saw Xiao Tianyu, his face swollen and nose bleeded, and Gao Ke, his knuckles rubbed raw, he was so overcome with anger he had to punch his own chest, nearly vomitting blood.

  “You…… You guys…… What are you guys doing!? Can’t you pick a fight in a better place? Are you trying to drive me to my grave?” Weikang pointed at them with a shaky finger, his face pale.

  Gao Ke’s eyes were red. If not for Zhang Zian holding onto him from the back, he would definitely try and continue punching Xiao Tianyu. He doesn’t even know why he’s so angry, and he knows that violence can’t solve their issues. But, the moment he punched for the first time, his entire self seemed to be overtaken by anger.

  “Ask him!” Gao Ke spat on the floor, pointing at Xiao Tianyu, jaws clenched.

  Xiao Tianyu was lying on the floor, skin covered in sand, his fat torso curled into a ball, holding onto his head. He was afraid to stand, worried that he might get beaten up again, and could only cry his eyes out, snot and tears running down his face, unable to utter a single word.

  Thank goodness he was fat and could take those punches better. Even if Gao Ke punched him, his force landed on soft meat. If it was any other person, they might not be able to handle Gao Ke’s insanity.

  With Gao Ke not willing to explain, and Xiao Tianyu unable to explain, Zhang Zian let go of Gao Ke, thinking that he wouldn’t attack anymore with everyone here. He picked up the empty mineral bottle water from the floor, explaining what had happened to everyone.

  Humans naturally pity the weak. Seeing that Xiao Tianyu was attacked so badly, they had all pitied him. They thought that the two of them had a normal argument, and they thought that Gao Ke had gone too far, throwing such hard punches.

  But, after hearing what Zhang Zian explained, everyone’s pity went up in flames and shot Xiao Tianyu disgusted looks, thinking that he deserved those punches, even that he deserved more than this.

  Weikang really was ashamed. His own team members kept having issues, and he had lost his dignity as a teacher. His members were really low in quality this time.

  The mess that He He had gotten into at Khan el-Khalili was due to her personality and her lack of knowledge for local culture. The shock she had gotten last night was due to the scare of the skeleton. Du Xuetao had gotten stuck on the sand dune due to a lack of skill. These were all understandable, but Xiao Tianyu is purposefully hiding his mistakes. If not for the fact that hey had discovered it early, this might cause the whole team to fall into danger.

  Peter Lee respected Wei Kang’s authority and stood aside, allowing Wei Kang to handle the situation himself. Weikang raised his hands, wanting nothing more than to slap Xiao Tianyu too, but he’s a teacher, and his morals didn’t allow him to put a hand on his students.

  Zhang Zian knows that it’s hard for Weikang, so he suggested, “Professor Wei, I think Xiao Tianyu has learnt his lesson. There’s no need to
