“Very well. All of you better rember well what happened today,” spat the veiled lady in an extraordinarily gloomy and cold manner after keeping mum for a while. She had finally decided not to take action and instead give a word of warning. No need to ntion her, but even her grandmother, the palace master of Cold Moon Palace would not dare to break the rules the main sects established. Otherwise, it would invoke a group attack involving all of the great sects upon them and might even result in such a disaster as the extermination of their sect. No matter how proud and tyrannical she was, the importance of this matter’s consequences was sothing that she could still differentiate clearly.
After saying this, the veiled lady turned around and left.
“Why would I bother to rember? It’s not like I’m the one who took a loss,” giggled Ling Chuxi. Not only had she not taken a loss, she had even ridiculed her opponent to the point where her opponent was angered half to death.
Ever since her cultivation improved, Ling Chuxi was more used to using her martial arts prowess to solve problems. Now, she suddenly realized that occasionally gaining advantage by using her verbal prowess was also quite enjoyable. Either way, she had given the veiled lady a thorough face slapping.
“You better rember my na—Qing Lingyan,” said the lady suddenly, turning around and speaking to Ling Chuxi through gritted teeth.
“What a pleasant na,” replied Ling Chuxi seriously with a nod. “Since you have told your na, then I should also bear all the pain this causes and in all seriousness tell you sothing as well. Just now when you said you weren’t crazy, it was rely an act of self-comfort, wasn’t it?”
“You...” Qing Lingyan was so angry that her entire body started trembling. Her fist clenched and released, clenched and released, till she finally let out a long breath and stabilized her emotions before turning around and leaving.
“Chuxi, your tongue is too sharp, you have truly offended her,” said Su Yizhi as he shook his head with a bitter laugh. Only now did he realize that Ling Chuxi’s tongue was so venomous as he saw Qing Lingyan’s figure disappear into the distance.
“If I didn’t offend her, then would she be willing to let off Resurrection Hall?” asked Ling Chuxi.
Su Yizhi shook his head.
“Isn’t it fine, then? Either way, the outco would be the sa without my offending her.” said Ling Chuxi with a laugh. “Since the outco is the sa regardless for now, then why not discuss further only after gaining so advantage?”
“That’s true too. However, the people of Cold Moon Palace are very petty and would definitely take revenge over any small acts of offense against them. In the future, you have to be careful. They do not dare take action out in the open, but you must be on guard against malicious sches in the dark,” said Su Yizhi solemnly.
“I will be careful,” said Ling Chuxi with a nod. An open attack was easy to dodge, but a hidden, despicable attack was harder to guard against. What a bunch of loons. Who’d know what kind of things they would try to do? Therefore, she had to be careful. Very careful.
“All right, it’s not early anymore. We should all go and rest now,” instructed Su Yizhi with a wave of his hand, then everyone left to go to their own quarters respectively.
Ling Chuxi returned to her quarters and thought about the four n in black robes who had suddenly appeared to protect her, and the corners of her lips curled up into a gentle smile. So, it turns out that all of her actions were being observed by Huangfu Qingjue. Ling Chuxi laid on the bed, looking at the canopy draping down by her bedside and her heart felt warm, as if sothing was about to spill over. ‘Qingjue, Qingjue, what are you doing now?’
...
On the other side of the valley, emotions still ran turbulent. “Miss, are you really just going to let her off like this? She dared to humiliate you. If it were not for you disallowing to take action, I would have stabbed her to death in a single move,” declared one of Qing Lingyan’s handmaidens with gnashed teeth in an effort to seek credit.
“Oh, really? Just you alone could do that?” Qing Lingyan was still angry at the mont and when she heard this declaration, she felt it was rely oil being added to the flas of her fury, causing her to throw a cold glare at the handmaiden who said it. “Just now all of you were beaten until you’ve all turned out like this, yet you still have the cheek to say such words?” The four n in black robes who had appeared out of nowhere all possessed strong cultivation and their appearance alone had made her feel extrely shocked. After being thus ridiculed by Ling Chuxi, now that she heard her handmaiden speaking such words, she felt extrely embarrassed within her heart. Did the Rejuvenation Hall actually have such young mbers with such strong cultivation within their ranks?
