Chapter 194: Chapter 56: Vengeance
Being new to the place, Yun Sheng knew from her experience at the Royal Magic Academy that behind every glamorous thing often hides filth and immorality.
The incident Luo Qing ntioned was actually about an old matter involving an Outer Pavilion Female Warrior and Zhang Zipo from a few years ago.
Lian Xiang and Luo Qing were like sisters, and although Lian Xiang’s martial talent was slightly inferior to Luo Qing’s, she was a rare beauty among the female warriors of the Outer Pavilion, with a beauty that stood out in a crowd of won with muscles no less impressive than those of the male warriors. True to her na, she resembled a fresh lotus erging from the water.
When Lian Xiang joined the Pavilion, although only eleven years old, she imdiately received favor from many people.
However, Lian Xiang paid no heed to these lovestruck pests. Coming from a poor family, she hoped that by entering the Wu Xuan Wuji Hall, she would be able to join the Great Zhou Army in the future and pave the way for her younger brothers and sisters.
Who would have imagined that ever since Zhang Zipo beca an instructor at the Martial Arts Hall, he took a fancy to Lian Xiang after a chance encounter.
Zhang Zipo was not only a Martial Artist of the Inner Hall, but also the only son of Elder Zhang of the dicine Hall. A large part of his cultivation was attained through the hard-hitting Elixirs provided by his father.
For Martial Artists, the Elixirs from the dicine Hall were crucial. Under the protection of Elder Zhang, Zhang Zipo could act tyrannically in the Wu Xuan Wuji Hall, and even if soone suffered from his bullying, Elder Zhang would appease the situation afterward.
After encountering Lian Xiang, Zhang Zipo entangled himself with her ceaselessly, not only behaving inappropriately towards her in public but also repeatedly asking her out alone under the guise of personal instruction.
If Lian Xiang did not agree, he would make up excuses to give her a hard ti and increase her training tasks.
The burden beca too much for Lian Xiang to bear, and finally she couldn’t take it anymore and reported the matter to the Martial Arts Hall, only to go missing during an outing shortly after her report.
She disappeared for seven days. When Luo Qing and other female warriors from the Outer Pavilion found Lian Xiang after those harrowing seven days, her clothes were torn, body bruised, and she was barely conscious.
No one knew what inhumane things had happened to Lian Xiang over those seven days.
After bringing her back to the Martial Arts Hall, Luo Qing, against everyone’s objections, confronted Zhang Zipo. The affair even reached the Deputy Hall Master, but in the end, Zhang Zipo brought in several witnesses to prove that he had not left the Martial Arts Hall during the past seven days.
With multiple testimonies against her word, the Deputy Hall Master eventually had no choice but to suppress the matter, and Lian Xiang was sent back to her hotown by the Martial Arts Hall.
Not long after Lian Xiang returned ho, word spread that she had committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
Since then, Luo Qing beca hell-bent on cultivating, fully aware that the strength of won could not match that of n, and without the backing of soone like Elder Zhang and various Spiritual dicines to rely on, her only way out was to compensate through Combat Skills.
She chose the most difficult Combat Skills to cultivate, all with the aim of avenging her good friend Lian Xiang.
"Now you should understand why I didn’t leave the Outer Pavilion," Luo Qing said, finally lifting a weight off her heart.
The scene of Lian Xiang being taken away often appeared in her dreams, becoming an insurmountable inner demon for Luo Qing.
She secretly vowed in her heart that as long as she was in the Wu Xuan Wuji Hall, she would not allow such incidents to happen again; she could not stand by and watch a second Lian Xiang erge.
"So you hid your real abilities and stayed in the Outer Pavilion. But don’t you realize that this is foolish? Not only are you holding back your own future, but you can’t fundantally stop Zhang Zipo’s evil deeds. As the saying goes, to cut the grass, one must remove the roots, and a severe disease requires a strong redy. Zhang Zipo is not the real problem; Elder Zhang is the real knot in the issue," Yun Sheng comnted with increased disdain for Zhang Zipo after hearing about Lian Xiang.
Yun Sheng hadn’t planned to cause trouble when she ca to Wu Xuan Wuji Hall, but sohow, troubles kept finding their way to her.
Luo Qing’s late-night visit and her story made her intentions clear; she hoped Yun Sheng would take her place and look after the female warriors of the Outer Pavilion after she entered the Inner Hall.
In Luo Qing’s eyes, Yun Sheng was the unrivaled candidate to take over her position.
Yun Sheng had no choice but to reluctantly agree. It seed that she couldn’t shake off the title of Big Sister no matter where she went.
"Rest assured, since I have promised you, I will make it happen. Tomorrow morning, have all the Outer Pavilion Female Warriors co to ," Yun Sheng was alard and ca up with a plan.
The influence of the father and son of the Zhang Family in the Hall was not so easily eradicated. There was plenty of ti ahead, but in the anti, she needed to find a way to teach Zhang Zipo a lesson.
After Luo Qing’s departure, Yun Sheng simply stopped her ditation. She took out the prescription that Doctor Fan had given her and fetched so dicinal Herbs, engrossing herself in research throughout the night.
Around midnight, Ye Beiming and Cheng Bai finally extricated themselves from that damned Combat Skills chess ga.
Cheng Bai was completely exhausted, as this kind of Combat Skills chess was far more tiring than actual combat. In terms of fighting spirit, Ye Beiming was like a demon, with inscrutable and inexhaustible fighting spirit.
Cheng Bai inwardly complained that had he known it would be like this, he would have followed Jiuxiao with the Deputy Hall Master, which would have been better than staying with Ye Beiming and enduring torture both physically and ntally.
In the past two years, Ye Beiming had killed many Blood Cloud Beasts, accumulating considerable rit, so much so that even Emperor Zhou, who had always given him the cold shoulder, now looked at him differently, and even specially granted a Beiming Royal Mansion to Ye Beiming.
However, Ye Beiming refused to live there, choosing to stay at the Wuxuan Wuji Hall instead. As for his specific intentions, Cheng Bai did not know and had no interest in pondering them.
As soon as the chess ga ended, they heard soone in the courtyard reporting everything that happened on the training field tonight to Ye Beiming and Cheng Bai without missing a single word.
Cheng Bai looked back, but didn’t spot anyone.
When he was a child and went to the Cold Palace to play with Ye Beiming, Cheng Bai had already noticed that there seed to be an unnad force secretly protecting Ye Beiming.
He and Jiuxiao had also speculated whether it could be the people left behind by the late Empress Li.
As for Empress Li, Ye Beiming’s mother, there were nurous rumors about her in the royal palace. At that ti, Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao were both very young, and the only thing they rembered was that Empress Li was said to be the greatest contributor to Emperor Zhou’s ascension to the throne. She was a legendary woman who was rumored to have Netherworld Guards that could compare to those of Emperor Zhou at the ti.
The sudden death of Empress Li brought a calamity upon Ye Beiming, and as for the Netherworld Departnt left by Empress Li, it seed...
Cheng Bai did not continue to ponder it deeply. No matter what Beiming would beco in the future, the fact that they were friends would never change.
"Are those exchange students the sa female Mage that had you going in circles this morning?" Ye Beiming played with the chess pieces.
"Indeed, it’s her. It seems the Outer Pavilion is due for a change of power. That sharp-tongued kid is not easy to provoke. The father and son of the Zhang Family are probably going to see an end to their good days at the Martial Arts Hall," Cheng Bai said with a beaming smile, feeling sowhat out of place ever since he returned to the Wuxuan Wuji Hall after experiencing the thrill of hunting Blood Cloud Beasts.
"You seem quite confident in that female Mage," Ye Beiming was no longer surprised by Cheng Bai’s attitude of enjoying chaos.
"She’s an interesting little thing. She’s soone who surprises you every ti you see her. If you’re interested, I can introduce her to you soday. She’s a real beauty," Cheng Bai acted like a lecher.
Ye Beiming paused slightly, a vague figure crossing his mind, and he said coldly, "Not interested."
In this world, apart from her, he had no interest in any other woman anymore.
