Hearing this name, Hou Shengshuo clenched his fists tightly, wrinkling the bed sheet into a ball, and his eyes flashed with a cold and vicious look. Seeing this scene, He Juan's hands trembled nervously, and the fruit knife almost cut her hand.

After a while, Hou Shengshuo's expression relaxed. He looked at the empty infirmary and asked, "Where is my second brother?" Hao Lei should have been guarding his bed at this time. I wonder where he has gone?

He Juan bit her lip. She was always straightforward, but she was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she should tell Hou Shengshuo the truth. When she told him yesterday that Bai Qing and Zhou Mo had withdrawn, he was so angry that he threw his desk downstairs. If she told him again...

"Tell me." Hou Shengshuo stared into He Juan's eyes: "Is there anything I can't bear now?"

He Juan said, "Yesterday at noon, my second brother challenged Brick to a duel, and promised that whoever lost would leave Beiyuan No. 7... My second brother lost, so he withdrew from Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes yesterday and left Beiyuan No. 7 Middle School." By the end, her voice was already very weak.

Hou Shengshuo took a long, long breath. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't bear it when he really faced the reality. Hou Shengshuo gasped for air, as if he was having an asthma attack, as if this was the only way to suppress the anger in his chest. He Juan was watching very nervously. At this moment, Hou Shengshuo seemed even more terrifying than when he threw the table downstairs yesterday. After panting for more than a minute, Hou Shengshuo's breath slowly calmed down, and then he smiled bitterly: "Seven dragons and six phoenixes, there are only two of us left." He Juan said softly: "It doesn't matter, we can recruit more people, there will always be a lot of scoundrels."

"How can we make it in time?" Hou Shengshuo continued with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid that before we can recruit anyone, Wang Hao will have killed us both completely."

"We can ask for peace with him," He Juan said, "and promise never to cause trouble to him again. If he wants to be the leader of the Seven Northern Overlords, let him be. In this way, the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes can breathe a sigh of relief. Even if we have to live under Wang Hao's shadow forever, as long as we can persist and not disband, the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes will have a chance to regain their glory."

“Ask for peace?” Hou Shengshuo chewed on the words: “Ask for—peace? Haha, I, Hou Shengshuo, have actually reached the point where I need to ask for peace from others? No, I will never ask for peace. Asking for peace is the same as bowing my head. I will never bow my head to anyone!”

He Juan stared at Hou Shengshuo in a daze and sighed deeply in her heart. She had known that Hou Shengshuo had this kind of character.

"Yes, I will never bow my head." Hou Shengshuo's eyes showed a resolute light: "I would rather die on the battlefield, or be reduced to ashes. Even if the seven dragons and six phoenixes fight to the last man, they will never bow their heads to anyone!" Even though he was lying sick in bed, he still spoke with great momentum. Then he looked at He Juan: "Are you still willing to stand by my side?"

He Juan placed the apple on the bedside table next to her and said earnestly: "Of course, we swore an oath that we would never betray the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes as long as we live." Yes, they swore an oath. When they were in the third grade of elementary school, Hou Shengshuo and He Juan, just for fun, took the lead in forming an organization called "Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes". At that time, it was really popular to set up gangs and factions, with things like the Four Heavenly Kings, the Nine Handsome Young Masters, the Thirteen Guardians... But only their Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes have persisted to this day, all thanks to Hou Shengshuo and He Juan's unswerving belief!

"Yes, we swore an oath." Hou Shengshuo smiled: "As long as we are still here, the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes will not fall."

There were thirteen people who swore together at that time, promising that they would never betray the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes as long as they lived. But now only he and He Juan are left, and they are still sticking to the oath they made when they were nine years old.

Only they themselves know the ups and downs of the past ten years, and the bitterness in their hearts. Only they themselves know how deep their feelings for the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes are. Over the years, the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes have experienced frustration, glory, internal strife, and disarray, but they have never been forced to this point like now. Whether it is Hou Shengshuo's determination to burn his boats or He Juan's temporary compromise, it is all out of love for the "Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes".
