Chapter 21: Dispute

The tense atmosphere in their group didn't last long because something happened today that made the situation even worse.

When they're practicing, some members won't execute properly anymore. They were more casual and would even try to chat when Shen Lou was speaking on the front.

Qin An looked at this situation and knew that things would get bad again. And as expected, when Shen Lou was instructing a dance movement, he wasn't taken seriously and the members even boldly expressed their doubts against him.

"Is this really okay? I think it doesn't seem to fit." Ren Si, a member, speaks. Shen Lou was about to answer but Ren Si turned his head away as if he was just talking about others and not him. The other members also chimed in.

"I think so too. What do you think we'll change about this?"

"I think this one is more perfect." Then that member begins executing the movements. The members also followed him and they started discussing again without facing the captain who's right in front of them.

Qin An stopped practicing and took a step back as a silent acquiescence that he will be involved for this entanglement. Shen Lou looked at him for a second before he looked away. His face turns cold and he watches the members happily discussing and even starts creating their own.

"Let's try dancing this part!"

"Yes!"

"Brother Ren, I think your suggestion is good. The movements are also not that complicated so we can cope up."

"Of course," Ren Si smiled. "Dance movements don't actually have to be that hard just for the sake of good performance."

"I agree. And Brother Ren seems to consider us too. If not, then how can he think of alternative movements? He's clearly adjusting for us!"

"Ren Si is a good teammate."

"Really?" Ren Si shows a wide grin and rubs the back of his neck. "No need to be polite since we're a team."

The members nod and someone finally couldn't help but say, "If only you're the captain, Brother Ren. I think our progress will be fast."

Qin An looks at their flamboyant attitude as they continue their own way even if Shen Lou's in front of them. From Shen Lou's reaction, it seems that he now realizes that something's wrong with his leadership. Now listening to their comments, as the captain, how will Shen Lou address this problem?

If it were another person, they might feel ashamed and start pondering what went wrong, but in Shen Lou's case, he's not.

Shen Lou's mental power seeped again and the members also stopped talking.

"What are you doing?" Shen Lou's voice had a faint anger that anyone could notice but he was gritting his teeth to stay calm. If it were in the past, the members wouldn't say anything because they are not familiar to each other but these days, they probably felt united because all of them suffered the same treatment.

Their opinions were ignored, their physical strength was drained, their mental state became unstable— all of these things that they experienced made them united and felt that this is the time to speak.

So, they look at each other and grit their teeth to encourage themselves. They also subconsciously look at Ren Si who they feel could help them.

Ren Si paused for a moment before he took a sigh and looked at Shen Lou with determination.

"Brother Shen... I think we need to discuss something."

Shen Lou sneers. "You still need to ask me that when you're already discussing that much?" He was talking sarcastically about what happened earlier. Ren Si seems to feel ashamed and he hesitatingly looks at the members behind him, but seeing them looking at him with anticipation, Ren Si looks as if he took an energy booster to be the voice.
