Chapter 317: Xian Gu Kingdom
Kill?
Her voice was not loud, but almost everyone there was Eon Energy Master Rank 3. They have excellent hearing, and naturally, they would be able to hear what Ye Jiao said very clearly. A few pairs of eyes were looking at the Wei Family with a frown, but not a single one dared to speak up.
They didn’t want to create enemies out of nowhere.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about," before Wei Cheng could reply, Wei Shang interjected. He never had any intention of killing the two of them in the past. It was only because Chen Tian ordered him to do so that he had no choice but to obey.
Ye Jiao looked at the man coldly. "Is that so? I hope you all have a good ti all these years with my presents."
Presents?
Wei Mi’s eyes widened. She seed to recall sothing as she pointed her finger at Ye Jiao’s face. "You’re that assassin back then, aren’t you?"
The figure of that young kid that fought against her brother was still so small that one would be able to guess that it must be a little kid. The only one who could fit the description would be this one person over here.
After all, S talent was not common.
Ye Jiao just smiled, but she didn’t reply. Her eyes were looking at Wei Shang coldly. She hadn’t had the chance to fight against this man directly, but there was no need for her to do that. He would surely et his own demise. She had done enough.
"Don’t bother
again. If you try to kill
again, I won’t show you any rcy," Ye Jiao said coldly and walked away.
For a split second, Wei Shang could sense the hint of threat that Ye Jiao emitted. Even though he was already Eon Energy Master Rank 4, a rank higher than Ye Jiao, he felt that fear. It was as if there was a raging storm that was about to break out. If not because Ye Jiao held back her feelings in the end, he was sure that even the others would be able to sense it.
’She’s dangerous.’
That one brief eting had told him many things. The little girl who could only hide and cover back then was no more. She had gained strength on her own to protect herself. Slowly but surely, she would be out of his reach.
Wei Shang looked at the young girl’s back with a hint of regret. He always wished to have her mother for himself, but she chose another man. Now, even her daughter had grown up and started to bare her fangs.
If only he could bring that woman into his wing, this wouldn’t have happened at all.
Wei Shang was filled with regret because of his inability to bring that woman under him. No matter how much ti had passed and even though Ye Ai Xia had died, it didn’t reduce the fla of passion within his heart in the slightest bit.
He still wanted her.
’That assassin?’
While Wei Shang was imrsed in his own thoughts, Wei Cheng’s eyes flashed dangerously. During the fight with the assassin that ca to kill him, he had inevitably used the technique that only Barbarian Kingdom people should know: Blood Berserk Enhancent. He had killed his mother because she found out about it, but now it seed that there was another one on the list.
If he wanted to keep the fact that he was acquainted with soone from the Barbarian Kingdom a secret, he needed to shut that girl’s mouth.
’Will she tell anyone?’
She did say that she no longer wanted to bother with them. Wei Cheng still felt wary, but he didn’t want to try looking for trouble anymore. If he found her to be a threat, he would just find a way to deal with her.
After all, she would be outside of his reach, not long from now.
He also had so many things that he needed to do. His current identity was at risk because of his involvent with Barbarian Kingdom. Once those with the Chen Surna heard about it, he knew that he would die.
’What should I do?’
No one followed after Ye Jiao as she entered the city. So people still looked at her with an envious gaze or even awe, but neither one tried to stop her. They had heard that she had a bad relationship with those from the Chen Kingdom, so it might be best not to get involved.
Besides, they also didn’t want to get on the wrong page of a promising young genius. She was still so young, and no one knew much about her.
As soon as she entered the city, Ye Jiao was awed by how the buildings were structured. There were nurous complicated designs that filled the wall, and so on. It was as if this place was a historical site rather than a city where people lived.
’I better hide and blend.’
She noticed a dark alleyway and entered it. Taking out a hood, she wore it quickly and changed her countenance by using a disguise thod she had learned. As soon as she had finished, she had completely changed her appearance.
Ye Jiao walked out of the alleyway and walked in the direction of the market.
"Excuse ."
"Yes?" She was surprised to hear that soone stopped her. Turning her head to look at the man’s face, she was startled to see that Qin Zheng had stood in front of her. He was wearing a light silver robe. His golden iris was looking at her with interest.
"I don’t know that you manage to learn the technique so quickly, little lass."
"Who are you?"
"Don’t pretend that you don’t know , Jiao’er," Qin Zheng chuckled. He looked at the gate where she ca just now. "I can see that you’re the one making the commotion on this side. It’s no wonder, though. With your talent, their attention is going to be put onto your head."
Ye Jiao’s face darkened. She still hasn’t forgotten how annoying this man has been during the ti they traveled together in the past. If he started to make fun of her again, she didn’t mind trying to find so way to clash against him again. That would be extrely fun to do.
Even better if she could land a hit and beat him up terribly. That would be the best situation.
"That’s not your business," Ye Jiao shrugged. "Also, what’s with these tokens? Is it true that you can directly beco Elite Disciples just because of your talent?"
"Yes, it’s true," Qin Zheng smiled. "Xian Gu Kingdom is a bit special, and they need a lot of new disciples each year. That’s why they’re generous in giving the position and resources for the disciples. You’ll naturally learn much more if you managed to get accepted into the academy."
"Can’t you tell
more?"
"It’s complicated. With your IQ, you won’t be able to understand even half of what I’m going to tell you."
"..."
Ye Jiao had the urge to hit him again. Why did he have to give her half of the information and make her curious like this? Rubbing her forehead, Ye Jiao tried to push the thoughts into the back of her head.
"What are you doing here, Qi-uh, Zheng?"
"Call
Brother Zheng," Qin Zheng corrected her at once. "I’m a disciple in one of the largest academies in the Xian Gu Kingdom and this year, I’m the one selected to greet all of you and give an example during the examination."
"...You’re already a disciple?"
Qin Zheng nodded his head nonchalantly. "Yes, I’m an Elite Disciple... why are you looking at
like that?"
Right now, Ye Jiao was looking at Qin Zheng with a gaze filled with disbelief. She knew that he must be powerful from what he showed her during his short ti in Four Kingdoms, but he shouldn’t be Eon Energy Master Rank 3 a year ago, right? At that ti, he was already 11 years old, but it was still so early!
"Brother Zheng, are you truly 11 years old?"
"I’m already 12. My birthday was a few days ago."
"Ah... Happy belated birthday then," Ye Jiao gave him her halfhearted congratulations. She truly wished he could be younger than her. That way, it would be possible for her to keep calling him short. Speaking of height, it seed that he grew taller by one or two centiters. Their height was already very similar by now.
Qin Zheng nodded.
"How co you’re already a disciple with your temper?"
"Do you doubt ?"
"I’m wondering if there’s soone who died because of your attitude and words."
"How rude," Qin Zheng retorted and shook his head.
"By the way, you say Xian Gu Kingdom? Is that the na of the mainland kingdom?" Ye Jiao decided to change the conversation.
"Yes."
