Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: One Bowl of Soup Solves Everything (3)
Unless she has soone to rely on, or she’s been granted permission by others.
Everyone’s gaze subtly shifted toward Guh Siyi. Although no one spoke, certain things were crystal clear to them.
Faced with Huang Yiyi’s harsh insults, An Yiqing acted as if she hadn’t heard, daintily sipping a few more spoonfuls of soup.
Hmm, it was indeed quite tasty, if only those pesky flies would stop bothering her.
With a sigh in her heart, An Yiqing placed the spoon on the table beside her. Before Guh Siyi and Huang Yiyi could react, she suddenly lifted her left hand and dumped an entire bowl of greasy chicken soup—all of it—right onto Huang Yiyi’s head!
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, even Guh Siyi didn’t manage to react imdiately.
A mont later, Huang Yiyi’s scream pierced the roof and shot into the heavens—
"Ah—! My face! My face! An Yiqing, you bitch, I’ll fight you to the death!"
While the soup wasn’t boiling hot, the floating oil on top retained enough heat. When An Yiqing drank it, she would first blow on it, ensuring it cooled slightly. This temperature, directly poured onto Huang Yiyi’s delicate face, might not disfigure her, but it would certainly blister her skin.
Acting quickly, Guh Siyi grabbed the crazed Huang Yiyi, who was lunging at An Yiqing, and threw her toward the people behind her. She disdainfully wiped the oil stains off her hands from where they had touched Huang Yiyi. Guh Siyi’s expression was as twisted as if she had eaten sothing revolting.
Her sharp eyes locked onto An Yiqing, and only when she confird that An Yiqing’s blindness was genuine did she exhale in relief.
She had been overly apprehensive—after all, those who cultivate ancient martial arts could pour a bowl of chicken soup onto soone with effortless precision, even if they were blind.
"Miss An, what do you an by this? Yiyi is still young and immature, yet you, the esteed Daughter of the An Family, are so petty as to stoop to her level?" Guh Siyi’s tone brimd with arrogance, as though she was relishing having found An Yiqing’s weakness.
"Hmm, young and immature?" An Yiqing tilted her head slightly, her expression ponderous. "If I’m not mistaken, Miss Huang is a few years older than ..."
Guh Siyi’s chest tightened. She glared at An Yiqing but couldn’t muster a reply.
Ignoring Guh Siyi’s reaction, An Yiqing continued speaking softly, "Setting aside age, even if Miss Huang truly has the intelligence of a child, that doesn’t excuse the lack of basic etiquette. Randomly insulting soone’s parents—such vulgar words spoken by an esteed young lady—does it tarnish my reputation? Or rather, does it disgrace Mr. Huang’s na? Or perhaps it shas her dear friend, Miss Guh? My mory may be incomplete, but that doesn’t an I’ve lost my intellect or reasoning. I may not know the rules of Xuandu City well, but one principle I adhere to is that strength makes right. Since Miss Huang chose to insult, she deserves appropriate punishnt. Miss Guh, don’t you agree?"
Though An Yiqing’s words were delivered softly, as if a spring breeze had passed, they carried a chill that ran down everyone’s spines. The way they looked at her shifted—it seed they had misjudged her. Even without the Gu Family’s support, even blind and without mory, An Yiqing remained the sa formidable woman with ruthless ans.
Guh Siyi’s anger was about to explode. She wasn’t mad about An Yiqing retaliating against Huang Yiyi—she was furious because An Yiqing’s words were clearly aid at her in veiled attack!
Everyone present in the banquet hall knew perfectly well that Huang Yiyi was aligned with Guh Siyi. An Yiqing’s actions were unmistakably a bold declaration of defiance!
Rage burning like wildfire inside her, Guh Siyi’s aura turned icy cold, and an imposing pressure wordlessly spread toward An Yiqing.
