Entry 5977 Chapter 5958 回去1
5958 SL is getting ready to go back to the Blue Sky Continent in the lower worlds. Lady Nangong is fussing over her, essentially treating the lower worlds as this third world like place that’s deprived of everything. She and Nanny White work to make sure SL is well prepared for the journey.
These days, whenever SL experiences something new, she likes to talk with NL about it. SL takes out her communication jewel and calls NL. After a while, he doesn’t answer. SL wonders if NL is working on something.
Right when she’s about to hang up, he picks up and answers with a grunt.
She asks if he’s busy, wondering if she’s called at an inconvenient time because of his tone.
“Very busy.”
“Oh, then we’ll talk about it when you’re not busy.” SL suddenly feels a bit depressed.
“Fine.” NL immediately hangs up.
SL is left dazed by this. He hung up just like that?
While SL is stunned, Lady Nangong beckons towards SL, “Luo girl, come come. Let Nanny White take your measurements.”
“Ah?” SL blank faced.
Lady Nangong laughs, “What do you mean ‘Ah?’ Take your measurements.” She says they’ll take advantage of the time left since she hasn’t departed yet, and have their house tailor sew a new set of clothes for SL.
“You needn’t go through the bother.” SL smiles.
“How is this considered a bother? I’ve already discussed this with Nanny White.” Lady Nangong talks about all the colors and styles that they’re going to prepare for SL.
5959 SL finds she’s not really interested while they chatter. She wonders if NL is really busy? To show off the defeat of the Yin Clan, Lady Nangong is parading the 100 carts worth of gifts around Central Avenue back and forth three times before it enters the Longfeng Clan.
SL is still living with NL at his Star Fall Courtyard. The maids, Spring Moon and Summer Moon are serving SL well. They’ve heard SL is going back to the lower worlds and that Lady Nangong is going to choose two clever maids to go with SL and see to her needs. They hesitantly request that SL choose them.
SL feels helpless. This trip is supposed to allow her to experience returning to her origin. They’re not going back as tourists. Really, bringing servant girls? SL says she’ll discuss this later.
Sheng Yao Ri picks up SL to take her to the Imperial College, third campus, where the 5th grade is. She hasn’t had time to deal with school matters until now. They first go to the first campus where 1st and 2nd grade is, it has a portal that will take them directly to the third campus.
5960 Sheng Yao Ri greets his father, Principal Sheng of the Central branch of the Imperial College and tells him SL wishes to go to the third campus. Principal Sheng frowns when he hears SL’s name. Previously, the Assistant Principal had been sent to try and invite SL to the Central Branch, but she had scolded him and he had no choice but to withdraw. Principal Sheng had reprimanded the Asst. Principal and sent him off far away. Principal Sheng feels regret, such an amazing talent and she’s not part of their Central Branch.
The physical structure of College is roughly described. 1st and 2nd grade are at first campus. 3rd and 4th grade are at second campus. 5th and 6th grade at third campus.
SL greets him as Uncle Sheng instead of Principal Sheng. Principal Sheng faintly nods and says he will take them to the portal. He again feels regret and wishes he had personally made the entreaty to get her into the Central branch. He knows his own son. Sheng Yao Ri, has been proud since he was small. He never acknowledged anyone before, but now he acknowledges someone as boss, and what’s more, it’s a girl. Can this lady be a simple character? Principal Sheng is happy to see his son be close to SL, her future is sure to soar. It’s explained traveling by foot is long and dangerous to get to the 3rd campus. When SL asks what would’ve happened if she had not known, or not asked Sheng Yao Ri?
Principal Sheng turns towards her and very seriously answers, “Connections are also a form of strength.”
In other words, you would’ve had to walk. Sheng Yao Ri takes this moment to suck up to her.
When Principal Sheng operates the portal, SL is able to tell that it uses a formation to work and asks about it. She’s done research on them.
Principal Sheng cannot help but look at her more closely, “You can tell?”
5961 SL nods and says that it’s said this type of formation requires an Advanced level of spatial ability. If someone is only at the Advanced level, their powers will be utterly exhausted and they won’t be able to use spirit energy for several days. Sheng Yao Ri is surprised and asks his father how many days it would take for him to recover.
To be able to tell at a glance what kind of formation it is, and to infer from that so much other information, Principal Sheng’s evaluation of SL rises.
Principal Sheng nods at his son and says these next few days won’t be a problem, he’ll be staying at the College.
SL doesn’t want to owe anyone favors so she offers to activate the formation herself. Principal Sheng gives her a doubtful look. He thinks highly of her but such a dangerous task is beyond a student!
SYR recalls what SL did against that teacher on their flight back home and he asks his father how his spatial abilities compare to Teacher Ren. Principal Sheng replies that his are better than Ren’s, but not by much. SYR pats SL on the shoulder and says it was his boss, SL, that made Teacher Ren wish he was dead. [She won a bet using her spatial abilities to break the machine that sealed her world for 3rd grade. I don’t recall the teacher dying, but it keeps saying he died because of her. Maybe it’s a figurative death from having no money.]
To be able to defeat Teacher Ren using Space, her attainments must be very high. Principal Sheng’s evaluation of SL rises even higher and let’s her try.
Once SL starts, Principal Sheng’s eyes widen when he recognizes the space cultivation she’s using is from Black and White Masters, although he shakes away this conclusion since the Black and White Masters have been gone for a while. Surely she’s never met them.
SL finally opens the portal, and it is rock steady, not a waver in the portal. Principal Sheng looks on her with a complicated expression. He’s much stronger than her, but when it comes to Space, he is not her opponent.
5962 Because he could not create such a stable portal.
Sheng Yao Ri laughs and pulls SL through the portal. He’s very proud seeing the stupefied expression on his father’s face and tells SL she’s amazing for having done so.
SL answers displeased, what does that matter. SYR laughs and asks if she’s become too jaded to how amazing she is, that she can perform such acts of genius as easily as eating and drinking. SL is grumpy and asks isn’t he smart as well, and besides, she’s worked hard to be able to do this, it’s not as simple as it looks.
SYR rolls his eyes when she says she’s worked hard, and asks how come he’s never seen her cultivate, and yet her strength continues to rise.
SL outstretches a hand, “…as a matter of fact, I really do work very hard.”
“Lying ghost begone.” SYR completely doesn’t believe any of it, “I’ve long felt that when you fall asleep, after you open your eyes again, your strength will have risen a bit.”
SL starts laughing. In fact he’s right. SL is always cultivating in her space. The spirit energy in her space is richer, and time flows faster, so whenever she goes to sleep, she doesn’t waste a moment and will start cultivating. She really does become a little more powerful whenever she awakens. They travel through the portal and get attack by some local magic beast cats and SYR gets cut.
5963 SL gets rid of them and asks how Sheng Yao Ri how come he didn’t know about them since this route is something his family is knowledgeable of. SYR feels depressed, his father looked like he wanted to tell him something before leaving, but he was too busy being amused at his father’s reaction.
They attract a lot of attention going through the 3rd campus because they’re not wearing the school uniform and both their appearances are striking. SL decides to politely greet the first student she meets. Her luck is good, it’s the number 1 ranked 5th grader, Mu Zhong, someone so arrogant and proud the other students all call him, ‘No one enters his eyes.’
SL politely asks him to lead the way to Principal Zhao.
Mu arrogantly asks how dare she ask this of him.
SL: “…”
Sheng Yao Ri grabs Mu by the collar, furious, “How dare you scold my boss! You want to die that badly?!”
It must be remembered that SYR and the others from Jiale Island are already well beyond normal 4th grade level strength, they’re well into 5th grade level. The reason they stayed on Jiale Island was they wanted to challenge themselves by passing over Difficulty 25 before leaving.
5964 So Sheng Yao Ri’s strength is at the top of 5th grade. SYR is excited to fight someone in 5th grade. SL watches the fight seriously, but then after a while shakes her head. It looks like for the students who were left behind, the number 1 ranking is meaningless. SL notices SYR is going to lose soon. SYR is doing this for her, if he lost, she would feel sorry.
So when SYR is about to be beat back, SL advises him, “3rd rib.”
The others don’t understand but Mu’s face becomes serious. SL is familiar with SYR’s fighting style and SYR is accustomed to following her orders. Mu took an injury from a magic beast previously and it’s still not fully recovered. SL continues to direct SYR, telling him constantly where to strike. Eventually, she has him go back to the 3rd rib and SYR knocks Mu back hard. Mu is unsteady on his feet and can no longer continue. Mu is not only injured, but SYR’s last strike locked up his energy and blood. Mu stares at SYR, then looks at SL. He can understand being injured, but how did she lock up his energy and blood, instantly incapacitating him? Is she an evildoer?
5965 Mu holds himself in contempt. It’s just as the Principal said, there’s always someone stronger. Those who can complete 25 or more challenges are all worthy of respect.
“You guys are…you are Su Luo?” Mu Zhong suddenly shouts.
Su Luo! A month ago, no one would’ve known her name, but about 10 days ago, no one in the 3rd campus doesn’t know her name. To only take a few months to skip first grade, then advance into 5th grade. For this type of person, the word evildoer can no longer be applied. This is the Ancestor of the Evildoer ok? So when Mu Zhong thought of the word evildoer, he immediately thought of her.
“You know me?” SL looks at him blankly.
“You really are Su Luo. You really are Su Luo, the evildoer!” Mu Zhong stares at SL.
The other 5th graders start chattering and gossiping. It’s the rumored SL. She’s said to have attained Difficulty 30 on Death mode for the graduation test. A remark is made about her being the most beautiful of people. Mu Zhong shouldn’t be able to beat her right? Are you joking? The other one called her Boss Su. Obviously he’s one of her underlings. Just her words are enough to cause Mu Zhong to vomit blood. How could her strength be any worse. Mu Zhong can only be arrogant amongst the other students who were left behind. Before SL, he can only cry! SL seems to be only a 5 Star Grand Completion. 5 Star! Can a 5 Star Grand Completion pass the Death mode Graduation test? It’s called camouflage! Are you able to disguise yourself as 5 Star? No… We’re only able to talk about her. Only those who stand at the top will be discussed by others!
SL: “…”
“May I ask how to get to Principal Zhao’s office?” SL looks around.
She’s been delayed, but she’s now in a good mood. Before, she had to go from 1st to 4th grade, slowly increasing in strength before she stood at the top of the grade. This time it’s the opposite, she only just graduated 4th grade and has not even formally entered 5th grade and she’s already ranked first. This feeling of disdaining all the world feels nice. The students say they’ll take her there. As a result, history’s largest tour guide group is formed. Only SL and SYR are asking the way, but there are hundreds of students leading.
How could Principal Zhao not notice? He just wanted to see SL’s reaction. Truly worthy of being Ancestor to the Evildoer. From entering the portal to exiting the portal, to her encounter with Mu Zhong, her performance is remarkable. It makes people confident that she will continue to advance.
5966 Principal Zhao is rumored to be very strict but he’s very polite to SL. He knows of her talent, he knows that NL got on one knee to ask her for marriage, how could he look down on her? Many students eagerly await Principal Zhao’s extortion of SL. It’s a tradition he has of every new student. The other students are listening from all angles, some outside the room, some in the trees. How will he extort her?
Principal Zhao asks SL to sit down.
Are you kidding me?
Then he personally serves her tea.
Personally? This is terrifying! Just what kind of person is Principal Zhao!? He’s Principal of the 3rd campus for both 5th and 6th grade, and at the same time, one of the Assistant Deans for all of the Imperial College! Plus he’s an Imperial. Why is he so good to SL?
SL is completely unaware of all of Principal Zhao’s identities so she accepts the tea calmly and is not flattered.
SL laughs when she sees the tea leaves, “Lady Shu is not begrudging.”
It’s SL’s own Divine Immortal Tea. Previously, SL had gifted Lady Shu some tea. Lady Shu had praised it unceasingly. Before she left Jiale Island, SL’s tea inventory had been wholly plundered by half due to Lady Shu. According to Lady Shu, SL won’t be coming back to Jiale Island and it’s inconvenient for Lady Shu to leave. Since SL’ll be gone for so long, it’s better to leave some for Lady Shu. It can be a souvenir of sorts, and so SL was persuaded.
Principal Zhao also laughs, “This tea really isn’t bad. Ah girl, you should share some.”
“Didn’t Lady Shu give you some?” SL recalls, she really had given Lady Shu a lot. Enough so that she could brew tea for tens of thousands of years.
5967 Principal Zhao oh so pitifully takes a tea bag out from the desk, and shakes it before SL, “It was received, but just this little bit.”
SL sees that the two tea bags have been used up.
Principal Zhao pulls up a chair and sits next to SL, he looks expectantly at her, “She said if I wanted more, I should personally ask you. Girl, what do you think?”
SL: “…”
The others students stare wide eyed, he’s addressing her as an equal. They can see but not hear. SL silently watches Principal Zhao.
Principal Zhao strokes his chin and smiles profoundly, “For 5th and 6th grade, this old one will be your Principal. Oh that’s right, for your 5th grade graduation, this old one will also personally be administrating.”
SL: “…”
Without a word, SL places a tea bag on the table from her space. It’s something she personally created as a ready made gift. Each bag weighs a pound. Principal Zhao takes the bag and puts it into his desk, then brightly stares at SL.
SL: “…”
SL again silently hands Principal Zhao a tea bag. Since the tea is packed like a cake and covered with a special wrapping paper, the other students don’t know what it is. All they know is Principal Zhao seems to really like this thing because after taking a bag, he would look at SL expectantly and wink at her.
Wait a minute! The serious Principal Zhao is winking at SL? This person is Principal Zhao? They must be seeing things.
SL looks at Principal Zhao grumpily, “Two bags is two pounds. That’s enough to drink for a long time. I don’t have much.”
Principal Zhao brightly smiles, “What’s this, you don’t want to know how the College will assess you when graduating 5th grade?”
SL: “I do!”
Principal stretches out a hand.
For SL, the Divine Immortal Tea is just some tea she personally planted in her space, but for Principal Zhao who loves tea, after drinking Divine Immortal Tea, all other tea can be cast aside! Drinking Divine Immortal Tea is a form of extreme love! How can you have enough! It’s never enough, alright!
SL silently takes out a third tea bag to give to the Principal. When Principal Zhao reaches to take it, SL does not let go, but instead stares at him with a questioning look. From his sleeve, Principal Zhao takes out a wristwatch like object and hands it to SL. SL finds it’s very similar to a Xiaomi Mi Band. She looks at Principal Zhao with puzzled eyes. Principal Zhao explains that when she returns to the lower worlds, everything she does will be seen and judged by the Jianan Secret Territory’s system Greater God.
“Then everything you said was recorded,” SL shallowly laughs.
Principal Zhao strokes his chin, “When it’s time for your 5th Grade graduation examination, wouldn’t this old man personally assess?”
SL: “…”
[There’s basically an artificial Greater God watching her now. No interaction, just watching.]
5968 SL helplessly passes Zhao another paper wrapped tea bag. The other students are really curious what’s inside the bag. Why is it that Principal Zhao is smiling so brightly? Why is it when SL stands abruptly, she then quickly sits as soon as Principal Zhao speaks?
Actually, SL was about to leave, but then Zhao asked if she wanted to bring more people on the trip with her. Zhao smiles while explaining that usually when you bring someone with you that’s much stronger than you, that would be considered cheating, and would invalidate the exercise. He must’ve guessed she intended on bringing NL. Without waiting for him to speak further, SL hands over another bag of tea.
Zhao smiles and strokes his chin.
Pah Pah Pah!
SL heroically slaps three more bags of tea on the table! She refuses to believe these bags of tea cannot pry open Zhao’s mouth!
Zhao smugly explains to SL it’s not a difficult matter, she must be the one to do the work. Others can aid her, but they cannot intervene. She must understand that the test is for her, this Tour is her 5th grade graduation test.
SL grumpily asks if he’s explained everything he needs to explain.
Principal Zhao examines all the tea bags he has in hand. Logically speaking, he should be happy with what he has, but more is always better. Zhao brightly smiles, but then gravely warns her that she’s already put the testing bracelet on so it’s already started. She’ll need to leave the Capital tomorrow. SL realizes she hasn’t contacted NL yet. Doesn’t that mean she’ll leave him behind? She tries to take the bracelet off, but Zhao warns her that she’ll fail upon doing so.
SL frowns and says she’s not leaving the Capital so soon. SL takes out five tea bags. Principal Zhao beams and tells her to extend her hand. SL extends the hand with the bracelet. She doesn’t know what he did, but the time figures on the bracelet freeze. Zhao explains he’s given her a month, that should be enough right? He’s using his highest authority as Principal, he’s not allowed to give her any more time.
5969 SL and Zhao had a pleasant conversation. SL has learned what she wanted. Zhao looks at all the tea bags he has now and is grinning from ear to ear. Just where is his usual seriousness? While watching SL leave, Zhao is filled with expectation and some regret. Expectation as he knows with her talent and luck, she will very quickly graduate 5th grade. When SL graduates from 5th to 6th grade, it will be difficult to ask her for more Divine Immortal Tea. Ah, so next time they meet, he absolutely must extort this girl one more time.
Principal Zhao does not realize that smiling while watching SL leave utterly shocks the watching students. She just handed him some things over and that’s it! They’ve never seen anyone leave Zhao’s office so peacefully. Upon leaving, everyone now looks at SL differently. They already knew she was a super genius who quickly advances, but when they saw how Principal Zhao almost treated her like an equal, her status is instantly enhanced!
Even Sheng Yao Ri is shocked and stares at her wordlessly. He then asks her how she does it. SL is confused. SYR grumpily states that Lady Shu treated her the same way back on Jiale Island. How does she do it? Sharp intakes of breath from the other 5th graders. It must be known that many of those who stand there in 5th grade today, came from the 4th grade island, Jiale Island. They all hold Lady Shu in awe. How is SL not a person worthy of worship, to be able to talk to Lady Shu as an equal?! SL unhappily says she didn’t do anything. SYR doesn’t believe her.
“Perhaps…maybe it was because I gave him some tea leaves?” SL’s is at a loss.
Everyone else: “…” Please, if you’re going to lie, at least take it seriously. Treating us like idiots!
SL then takes SYR and returns to the portal they took to get here.
Mu Zhong watches SL’s departing back and clenches his fists. He will not always lose! He swears that by the time she returns from her 5th grade tour, he will reach 6th grade faster than her! SL is unaware of this, but even if she knew, she would not care.
SYR originally also wanted to see Principal Zhao, but after hearing SL’s explanation of the bracelet, his enthusiasm dies. He’s been cooped up in Jiale Island for so many years, he wants to enjoy himself in the Capital. It won’t be too late to accept the bracelet after he’s had his fun playing around. SL once again opens the portal. Even if it were SYR’s father, he would still require several days rest after opening the portal once.
5970 But SL’s power seems endless. She had just opened the portal for the first time about an hour ago. Now she’s doing so again, as easily as eating and drinking. Sheng Yao Ri’s father is still there. He’d been thinking to himself about just how incredible SL’s spatial powers are. He is incredibly shocked when he hears a knock on the door with SL and SYR right there, the open portal right behind them. He looks at SL with a complex expression and asks if she was the one who opened it. SYR answers before SL can, asking if it’s so difficult. SYR judges SL could start the process again another 8 to 10 times. SL smiles and says he exaggerates, she should be able to manage 6 or 7 more times.
Principal Sheng: “…” Evil-doer, ah an evil-doer. Why didn’t he lure this evil-doer into his Central College? Not enrolling SL into the Central College from the very start will go down in Central’s history as its greatest failure, bar none.
After saying good bye to SYR and the senior Sheng, SL leaves for the Longfeng Estate. While on the road, SL looks at her left hand with the bracelet, and feels her heart move. She reaches for the communication jewel. She waits a long time for a response. SL wonders if NL is busy.
“Hi, how are you doing?” A gentle, eager to please voice emits from the communication jewel.
SL’s heart trembles for a moment and doesn’t respond. Why is there a female voice, and it’s so pleasant sounding.
“Hello? Are you there?” says the voice with a gentle smile.
SL recovers, “Hi, I seem to have made a mistake.”
“He he. This isn’t my communication jewel, someone else placed it with me for temporary safekeeping. Oh right, who are you looking for? You’ll have to say so I know whether or not you’ve found the right person.” She sounds so happy, as if, ah the sky is so blue, the earth is so green, the world is so beautiful, that type of feeling.
SL pauses, then, “I’m looking for Nangong Liuyun.”
The other girl all of a sudden starts laughing, “Aiya, you’re looking for Gong2. Well that’s not wrong, this is his communication jewel. Aiya, I tell you, I’m his…”
The woman is unable to finish her words for the jewel has changed hands, SL can tell because she can hear what’s being said on the other end.
“Gong2, why did you steal my communication jewel? Give it back, give it back!”
It’s unknown what NL says to the girl, but she’s suddenly quiet.
“Hello?” NL’s voice can be heard from the jewel.
SL is silent. She has to admit, her heart doesn’t fell well right now. It’s hard to explain but she feels a heavy and uncomfortable sensation in her heart. This sense of discomfort makes SL fall silent.
5971 “Luo Luo?” NL’s voice can be heard, “You were looking for me? Is something wrong?”
Oh so only if there’s a problem is she allowed to look for him? If there’s no problem then don’t look for him? Just who is that woman? Just how close are they for him to hand over such a private thing as a communication jewel for safekeeping?
SL’s heart wavers back and forth, her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts, but in the end, she opens her mouth to say…
“When…are you coming back?” SL forces out a smile. It looks as if she were unaffected by anything before.
NL pauses before answering, “There have been many events recently. It will take at least two months to sort them out. If you’re bored at home, I’ll let Chu3 take you around the Capital to play.”
“Gong2, I am a host in the Capital. How about letting me take her around to play?” A burst of unbridled laughter can be heard from behind NL.
“I’m going to be very busy for the short term. Take care of yourself. Alright, I’m busy.”
SL then hears the busy signal.
SL: “…”
SL stares at the communication jewel for a long time, not saying anything. Just like that, he hangs up? SL suddenly feels as if she’s been caught in a illusion, overcast in depression, the world has become grey, the world in her heart becomes bleak.
For a while, she frowns and bites her lip. Her chest feels tight from stoppering her nervousness. As if before, she were extolled and pampered in the palm of his hand, but is now suddenly cast aside and seen as insignificant, dispensable in his heart. This feeling causes SL to feel panic in her heart, but also gives rise to an indescribable anger.
When SL comes to, she takes her Sun Moon Hoof Blood Qilin out to ride. Ever since going through life and death together with SL in Jianan Secret Territory, it’s experienced SL’s wisdom and strength. Its attitude towards SL is much improved, it doesn’t despise her as it once did. The Qilin senses SL’s bad mood and twists its head around to lick her hand. The absentminded SL recovers from her stupor. She’s found the Qilin has taken her back to the gates of the Longfeng Estate. The guards of the Longfeng are familiar with SL and pile out to line up and greet her. Lady Nangong had already said Miss Su is the equivalent of a Young Master of the House. In other words, it takes about 20 people lining up to form a welcoming ceremony.
When SL returns to herself, she finds herself riding on top of her Qilin while before the gate of the Longfeng Estate, the guards saluting her. This gives her a very strange feeling. What has she, Su Luo, done to deserve these people welcoming her like this? All of this is based on NL liking her. But what if NL suddenly doesn’t like her any more? What if one day NL likes someone else? Then this welcoming ceremony would be enjoyed by some other woman.
When that woman on the other end of the communication jewel comes to mind, one with a gentle voice, a brilliant smile, and appearing to be good of character…
So when SL sees the neat formation of guards, her heart self mockingly smiles. She gives the gate of the Longfeng Estate a deep look, before turning her Qilin away.
5972 The Longfeng guards notice the look and start gossiping. Some have a bad feeling. Others think they’re making too much fuss out of nothing. The guards wonder if they should tell the Lady. They talk themselves into not doing so. The guards are unaware of the consequences of not telling Lady Nangong. They just don’t want anyone angry with them right now.
The Qilin has sharp senses and can tell how upset SL is. It is well behaved out of a sense of self preservation. SL doesn’t give any orders and the Qilin is not familiar with the Capital so it just moves in the exact opposite direction of the Longfeng. SL continues immersed in her own sad world. The Qilin is affected by her mood and looks listless. They attract a lot of attention because of their appearance.
One of the people they catch the eye of is someone who serves Leng7. He’s surprised to see SL so distracted but immediately his family’s Leng7 via communication jewel. Their Leng7 only just came out of the ancestral grounds, his cultivation greatly improved, although he seems to be in a bad mood. Perhaps it has something to do with this girl?
“Su Luo? You’re sure?”
“Yes 7th Young Master.” The Leng guard looks up to give SL another glance and decides to embellish, “Not good! Miss Su is crying! Her eyes are red! Master, Miss Su wouldn’t commit suicide would she?!”
Clan Leng is currently holding a high level meeting today. Leng7 is the most outstanding member of the younger generation and today is the first time he’s been allowed to participate with all these Elders. In fact, this meeting is being used to establish Leng7’s position as successor to the family. Leng7’s father, mother, and many others have all worked hard for this day.
Leng7’s father is displeased and asks who he’s talking to, the meeting is about to begin. This could be the most important day of his life.
5973 Leng7 makes a gesture at his father to stop talking. He didn’t really hear what his father said, all his attention is on the guard’s words. Su Luo…is crying? The Su girl is actually crying? What kind of thing would cause the proud, strong, intelligent, and adorable girl to cry? Which bastard would dare offend such a glorious woman and make her cry? He won’t allow it!
The normally calm Leng7 roars at the guard to tell him where he is? The guard answers. Leng7 orders him to keep an eye on her. Leng7 gets up ready to leave, his father grabs his arm and furiously asks where he’s going?
“Apologies father, I’m going out for a while.” Leng7 removes his father’s hand from his arm.
Leng7’s father glares at his son, his eyes filled with fury, he can’t wait to slap this disobedient son dead! He starts lecturing his son about the importance of this meeting. That he should not think that because of his talent and genius, that he’s the only choice the Leng’s have. Leng7’s father is afraid, he knows his son keeps his word. If he says he’s going to do it, then he will.
Leng7’s father’s yelling draws attention. Lady Leng comes in and gives her husband a displeased look and lectures him about yelling on such an important day. Little7 is not an idiot, he knows how important this day is.
Lady Leng gives her husband a cold look, then smiles at her son, “Little7 is so obedient. What’s wrong? Let’s put it on hold shall we? It’s just an hour. The meeting will be over after an hour, then you can do whatever you want. Daddy and mother won’t stop you, ok?”
Lady Leng looks at Leng7 expectantly. Father Leng looks at Leng7 full of anger. Inside are the elders of the Leng family. Everyone is waiting for Leng7 to enter the hall. The choice is obvious to them, even an idiot would of course attend the meeting before leaving.
However, Leng7 brushes his father aside and apologizes to his parents before leaving. In the beginning, he just liked SL in a normal way and only because she was the one NL liked, that’s the only reason he wanted to steal her. A bit like a child stealing another’s toy. It’s just that after returning from the ancestral land, Leng7 calmly realized that every time he closed his eyes, the face of that girl would appear in his head. An angry expression, an adorable expression, a proud expression, a pleased expression, one by one they appear.
At first Leng7 was furious, the girl is incredibly irritating. But she kept on showing up in his mind while cultivating, even when he was asleep she would appear in his dreams. It was so annoying! Gradually, he found he liked this feeling. Gradually, he found he himself wanting to see her the more he thought of her.
5974 But in the ancestral land, it’s impossible to see her. So Leng7 desperately started to work hard to merge the ancestral land with his cultivation. Only when he finished was he allowed to leave. He had never progressed so fast before. He wanted to immediately run over to her and see her. When he heard that she was crying, his head exploded. He’s such a calm person who normally doesn’t care about the joys and sorrows of others, but when he heard that SL was crying, he suddenly realized he did not simply like her.
“Sorry, I have something more important than life to do.” Leng7 deeply bows to his mother and father, than turns around and rushes outside.
Leng7’s father angrily roars for him to stop. His mother tearfully cries what could be more important than his life? Leng7’s father yells for someone to stop him.
Patriarch Leng’s cold voice interrupts, “Since it’s his own choice, then let him go.”
“Father!” Leng7’s father shouts, his tone carries a hint of desperation.
Out on the streets, SL and her Qilin are aimlessly wandering. All of a sudden, a high shrill voice starts screaming they’ve been hit and that it hurts. This brings SL back to the present and she realizes there’s a man rolling on the ground in front of her Qilin screaming in pain. Onlookers are curious and someone shouts the magic beast killed someone.
SL and the Qilin are then surrounded by large and strong looking guards. The onlookers flee upon seeing them. Leng7’s guard sees all of this and starts to sweat. He wants to slap himself, his damned crow’s beak, SL really will start to cry now!
This is a famous silk pants in the Capital, he’s even an Imperial Prince. This is the son of the current Emperor’s younger brother, Zhao Yufei. The Imperial College’s Honorary President is actually the current Emperor. Therefore all graduates of the Imperial College are regarded as his Majesty’s students and must honor him as Teacher. The Principal Zhao SL discussed the Divine Immortal Tea with, who’s also the Imperial College Assistant Dean, just so happens to be the Emperor’s younger brother! Principal Zhao is good, but the son he raised is not. He likes cockfighting and dog fighting, he’s tyrannical, likes bullying the weak and small, and likes kidnapping women.* As the Emperor’s nephew, he dares to do whatever he wishes and no one can stop him.
* The cockfighting and dog fight seemed out of place but I can only go with what the MTL says. Maybe it’s seen as immoral in Chinese society back then?
5975 Today’s not a good day for SL. Although SL and her Qilin really are too outstanding, how can anyone not remember her? Some people have thoughts, but the majority of criminals don’t have the courage. Zhao remembers as well and he still decisively made his move.
At this moment, Leng7’s guard has hidden in a corner of a house to take out his communication jewel to call Leng7 again, “Master! Someone is bullying Miss Su!”
“Who?”
“King Zhao’s son.”
King Zhao’s son? Wouldn’t that be the famous silk pants, Zhao Yufei?
“Keep an eye out!” Leng7 shouts, his tone poor.
It’s clear he’s speeding up, the sound of the wind can be heard. Leng7 is clear, Zhao Yufei is stupid, someone stupid but who thinks he’s smart. He dares what cannot be done.
At this time, Zhao Yufei is standing in front of SL, hands holding his chest while proudly staring at SL. Beautiful! Truly beautiful! Not only beautiful, but her disposition…there’s a sort of purity and dignity from that of a high cliff flower! So beautiful as to shake one to their core and make one keep her in captivity. Since when did the Capital have such a beautiful girl? How did he only meet her today?
Just because Zhao Yufei fancies SL, one of Zhao Yufei’s guards, Zhao Zhi Huo, voluntarily pretends to run into SL to extort her. Zhao Zhi Huo screams and rolls on the floor while holding his leg. His acting is very realistic. Others would fake hurting their leg, but he actually did fall and purposely broke his own leg. He feels it’s worth it as his master will grant him benefits for this.
Zhao Yufei strokes his jaw and very seriously says to SL, “Miss, you’ve run into someone. What do you say should be done?”
SL looks at Zhao Yufei indifferently, eyes placid.
Good! So high and lofty! So cool! Just the way I like! Zhao Yufei’s heart excitedly applauds! With his status, what woman wouldn’t want him? Normally women rush at him, it’s rare to see a woman appear unimpressed when looking at him. This girl’s lofty indifference fills him with the desire to conquer her. Zhao Yufei steps forward while repeating what he said to SL earlier.
SL frowns. She’s in a bad mood right now. Are these people really trying to extort her, do they want to die right now that badly? SL is silent but frowning. Those familiar with her know she’s about to explode.
Zhao Yufei is not one bit familiar with her and so continues to harass her.
“Miss, it seems that you do not want to offer compensation?” Zhao Yufei moves another step closer.
They are now less than a meter apart and he continues to slowly move closer.
SL’s brow wrinkles, then she finally frowns and says, “Scram!”
Zhao Yufei’s heart stirs. Such a pleasant voice! And the way she furrows her brow!
“Miss, I really like you. It would be better that you come to my home…”
5976 Zhao Yufei does not even finish before SL’s fist moves out. Her fist smashes into his nose and almost dismounts him. His men are stunned. Almost everyone knows who he is, no one has ever dared attacked him. He’s been pampered for so long and has never known such pain. Two streams of blood flow down from his broken nose.
Zhao Yufei touches nose and see the blood, startled, “Hey!” he smiles, not angry.
He smiles at SL, “Good. The right spice, the right spirit, the right flavor! Good, very good! This Young Master has come to be the bully today! Someone grab her and take her back!”
He’s used to getting what he wants. The guards protecting him were assigned by the Emperor, their strength is not normal. Two guards rush at SL at her left and right, trying to drag her down from the Qilin.
SL coldly smiles. She’s in a bad mood and has been looking for a way to vent. Now someone has given her a way to vent, if she doesn’t accept, she would feel ashamed to have received this gift from the heavens.
SL shakes her hand and a whip loosens in it. The tail is made from a beast she personally harvested and made under the guidance of Patriarch Huan. SL hasn’t had the opportunity to use the whip in addition to the fact it’s not related to the technique she cultivates. However, for this time’s group of bullies, SL feels like using the whip! The two guard are knocked away. The two guards are thrown towards Zhao Yufei but he’s not under any threat as he’s protected by twenty guards. The two thrown guards are tossed to the side and fall unconscious.
Zhao Yufei looks at SL, eyes bright, “Little girl, such flavor! I like!”
SL narrows her eyes at Zhao Yufei’s lewd gaze.
He’s not discouraged at all and instead has a fire lit within him desiring to conquer her. He orders eight of his men to attack her. Passerby’s have long left and there’s a lot of space.
5977 The number of people attacking SL grows to twelve and the pressure on her increases. Zhao Yufei’s face turns ugly. It usually only takes one or two guards to get what he wants. Even after 12, he still can’t take this city toppling, nation ruining beauty? He starts berating the guards for not even being able to capture a girl of unknown family? Why does he even bother feeding them? The remaining guards look at each other before they all charge at SL!
SL sees that she can no longer play around with the whip and takes out her Dancing Phoenix Sword, one seal undone, glowing with the prestige of the Goddess Sword Technique. SL’s strength dramatically increases and the guards start falling one by one.
The Guard Captain, seeing that there are almost no more guard left, turns with an unsightly expression to Zhao Yufei, telling him to leave immediately. Zhao doesn’t think she’ll try to kill him. The Captain is not so sure, given the girl’s enthusiasm, she really might. He tells his master to flee.
19 of the guards have been dealt with. Only Zhao and the Captain remain. The ground is covered in blood. A sword is sealed within a corpse’s throat. SL is caught up in the blood thirst and her snow white face has a few drops of blood on it. A few lines describing how scary she looks, both she and her sword covered in blood.
Zhao Yufei is starting to get scared, especially from the indifference in her eyes. The Captain steps forward with sword in hand. They’ve been beating sparrows all day, unexpectedly, this sparrow pokes back and has blinded them. Things are dangerous now. SL stands in front of Zhao Yufei with her sword pointed at his throat.
5978 “You dare kill me?” Zhao Yufei sneers at SL.
SL doesn’t answer, her sword moves with the wind and a scarlet line appears on Zhao’s neck. Five figures in black appear and attack SL. There’s only five of them but not a single one is weaker than SL.
Zhao Yufei touches the bloody line and coldly humphs, “Want to kill me? And yet you don’t know who this Young Master is?”
Still, he’s annoyed to have been injured. He feels that he almost had his head taken off.
“Beat her for me! Just leave her alive!” Zhao Yufei sneers while giving this order.
He always travels with twenty obvious guards, and five in the shadows. These five in black are at 8 Star Grand Completion.
SL is attacked by them, she dodges a few moves before a sword pierces her shoulder. The one stabbing is experienced and twists the blade. The pain causes SL to break out into a cold sweat. SL is stabbed by at least four swords. SL’s face turns pale from the pain.
Seeing SL’s pain, Zhao Yufei’s exposes a ferocious sneer.
SL feels despair. When she was killing those 19 guards, she was venting and did not hold back. Now these five black guards appear when she’s physically and spiritually exhausted. Now these five black guards attack al at once and SL is pierced by five swords! Poor SL sprays blood in five directions like five petals of a flower. SL is now seriously injured and her mind and body are on the edge of falling. In this moment of silence, SL is wondering in pain how she fell into this situation? Once she collapses, the silk pants will take her away. Even her toes know what will happen next. NL, do you know what I’m going through now?
SL’s right hand has been holding her communication jewel the whole time, but she doesn’t use it. In the past, she would’ve have hesitated to call for help, but now, she’s not sure what she’s afraid of. Perhaps she’s afraid she would hear the smiling voice of that other girl?
5979 Zhao Yufei seeing the wavering on her feet SL makes his mouth curve into a complacent smile.
“Contending with me? Heh heh. Someone tie her up! Bring her back to Zhao King’s Palace!” Zhao Yufei lewdly smiles at SL.
Two black guards rush up and twist SL’s arms behind her back. SL is in despair.
Not far away, the Leng guard is hiding in a corner, breaking into a cold sweat! Where are you? Why aren’t you here yet? Once they enter Zhao Palace, a rescue will be made much more difficult.
That’s when an earth shattering roar erupts. All the buildings on the street teeter. Hearing this roar, SL faintly smiles. It’s her Qilin. When SL was killing the guards before, the Qilin didn’t react and just stared at the wall in a daze. It wasn’t until SL was surrounded by the five black guards and fell under the five swords that it realized how desperate a situation its master was in.
The Qilin strength has been sealed. SL did help it unlock the first layer of the seal, but now having SL’s blood splash on it and the shock of seeing the danger she’s in angers it. The crumbling 2nd seal breaks!
More buildup but to get to the point, The Qilin expands in size to fill the square and crushes two black guards into meat patties. The others flee. The Qilin then turns its attention to Zhao Yufei and charges him.
5980 The three black guards that fled look at each other upon seeing the Qilin charging at Zhao Yufei. They charge back at the Qilin. Before they can get close, an unparalleled flame erupts from the Qilin. The black guards are caught by surprise and try to escape but how can they?
The Qilin’s hoof lashes out at Zhao Yufei and he crashes into a wall so hard his skull almost shatters. As for the three black guards, they are burned alive.
The Qilin humphs coldly as it walks towards Zhao Yufei. Unexpectedly he did not die. When the Qilin bursted forth at him, he did not die. This means he must have something nice on him. The Qilin wants to drag Zhao Yufei over to SL to gift him to her. Its master looks so weak right now. Taking five swords at the same time, she’s almost dead.
The Qilin’s footsteps all of a sudden stop. It can sense an eruption of power approaching. Many footsteps approach. With this many experts coming, its master will die if caught. The Qilin snorts at Zhao Yufei, you’re lucky this time. It glances one last time at Zhao Yufei’s bloody head and sunken belly before turning towards SL.
SL cannot stand and is sitting in a corner. She’s very weak right now and is slowly healing her wounds. The Qilin has no time to think and grabs SL who’s still cultivating, and throws her on its back. The Qilin uses the last of its burst of power to rush away to the outskirts of the city.
Watching is the Leng guard. He wants to follow but the Qilin left too quickly. At this time, a leader of the Imperial Guards, Yu Lin arrives with his men. Commander Yu Lin only came because of Zhao Yufei’s identity and how the Emperor favors him. If something happened to Zhao Yufei, it would fall on Yu Lin’s head. Yu Lin recognizes the three burnt human candles and his heart skips a beat, where’s Zhao Yufei? Yu Lin finds Zhao Yufei, but is worried he’s dead.
