Chapter 39: Anger Hurts Oneself

  Everyone around, whether students or teachers, hastily retreated, someone whispered: "Don't you know? This woman is Miss Ling of the Ling family, Ling Wushuang. She's incredibly bold and daring. Just a few days ago, at the entrance of the academy, she even beat up the princess and noblewoman. Haven't you heard about this?"

  "Yes, yes, beaten to the point where they didn't even dare to fight back. It's said that after Imperial Concubine returned, she was so angry that she fell severely ill and is still lying in bed now." Some people gloated over her misfortune, secretly feeling pleased.

  Moreover, someone in the know stared at the two confronting each other and sneered with a sly smile, "You both haven't gotten to the point yet. Li Mei's younger brother, Li Minghui, was indeed crippled by this Ling Wushuang with one kick that day at Mingxi Tower!"

  "My god, is it true?"

  "Of course, I saw it with my own eyes, and that kick of his was really handsome, straight into the vital spot!"

  "Ah——and this matter too"

  Someone covered their mouth, afraid to make a sound, enemies meet! That must be bloody on the spot. However, looking at that little demon girl's appearance, it seems she still doesn't know about this matter.

  The people around retreated far away, and the low murmurs of conversation did not reach Li Mei's ears either.

  Li Mei'er merely glanced at the guard spitting blood in the corner, her eyes gleaming with a hint of coldness. "Speak," she said, her voice detached, "Who are you? State your name. My lady's subordinates do not kill unknown underlings."

  Her expression remained unchanged, as if the servant who had been beaten was unrelated to her. However, a single teardrop at the corner of her eye made her cold and charming face appear eerily seductive in the dim moonlight.

  "Just a big tone" However, Ling Wushuang had not spoken yet, but a male voice came from behind him, with a slight sneer and sarcasm, saying: "However, Li Mei'er, you are too arrogant"

  Ling Wushuang raised an eyebrow in surprise, wondering how this kid had come again. The crowd dispersed, and Ji Yunyang wore a long gown with a flying headscarf, looking elegant and refined, walking slowly towards him with a spirited expression.

  "Ji Yunyang?" Seeing the arrival, Li Meier's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her expression changing subtly, yet still showing no emotion, she said disdainfully: "Unexpectedly, you've also broken through."

  "That's right, Miss Li has a good eye for things" Ji Yunyang smiled brightly, but her tone was strange, revealing a row of white teeth as she spoke, and walked slowly to Ling Wushuang's side.

  Li Mei'er sneered and said with a tone of arrogance and full confidence, "Very well, I was worried that I wouldn't find an opponent."

  "You really have the leisure" Ling Wu Xuan glanced at Ji Yun Yang with a raised eyebrow, curled his lips and teased: "You actually broke through, you little brat won't swallow a whole bottle of Broken Seal Dan, will you?"

  Ji Yunyang chuckled twice, waved his hand grandly and said: "What's one bottle of Po'e Dan? This time to break through, I risked my life, almost swallowing the medicine bottle you gave me."

  Musō gave him so many Pojun Dan and some Chūki Maru, if he still can't break through the high-ranking Tianxuan, he might as well be dead.

  "Cough——" Ling Wu Shuang let out a low cough and swallowed the medicine bottle. This Ji Yun Yang was indeed a talented person.

  "Swallowed a bottle of antidote?"

  "Where did this nouveau riche come from?"

  "Alas, this prodigal son"

  The people around, listening to it is simply heart-wrenching, a single Breakthrough Pill for them is extremely precious, this young master Ji, actually swallowed an entire bottle at once, that's over ten sticks, isn't he afraid of exploding and dying?! And yet, it was actually given by Ling Wushuang, this generosity is simply enviable to the point of hatred.

  "But, Unmatched, your elixir is indeed effective." Ji Yunyang stroked his chin, with a look of relishing the aftertaste, and chuckled: "I say, why don't you give me another ten or eight bottles? Who knows, I might directly ascend to the Holy Rank."

  The peerless elixir, its effect can be called miraculous, he broke through the high-ranking seventh-grade Tianxuan, and actually jumped to eighth grade in one go. What's even more precious is that, compared to ordinary Breaking Fate Pills, there are no side effects at all, and he still has a bit of a cloudy and misty feeling until now.

  "As long as you're not afraid of being burst open" Ling Wu Xuan gave him a slanted glance.

  "That's settled then!" Ji Yun's mouth was about to curve into a smile, one hammer sealed the deal, afraid that Ling Wudou would regret it. However, he also knew that Master Xuan's cultivation path relied mainly on his own comprehension and understanding, with elixirs as supplements.

  "Want another ten or eight bottles?" The people around, listening to it almost vomiting blood, at the same time, they all stared at Ling Wu Shuang with burning eyes, as if they were about to spit out fire sparks. Why didn't they have this luck?

  But if they knew that Wudang's little beast was eating dan medicine like peanuts, I estimate they would be so angry that they would faint on the spot.

  "That's enough" The long-ignored Li Mei'er finally couldn't bear it and interrupted, her voice low and menacingly cold.

  Everyone's attention was focused on Ling Wushuang and Ji Yunyang, usually wherever Li Mei'er went, she was the center of attention, when had she ever received such treatment?

  "Ah——" Suddenly, one of the people beside Li Mei'er shook his hands violently and jumped up, pointing at Ling Wusuo and exclaimed: "Miss, miss, I remember now! That day at Mingxi Tower, it was this woman who injured Young Master and caused...and..."

  Li Minghui was so angry that he never raised his head again, and the attendants didn't dare say another word.

  "What did you say?!" Li Mei'er's eyes suddenly sparked with flames, she raised her hand and swung it, pulling out a whip from who-knows-where, the sharp crack of which sent the person beside her flying out, her voice as cold as ice water, piercing the eardrums, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

  "Cough——" The person who was sucked away coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, didn't even have time to say a word, and directly fainted.

  Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they retreated one after another, afraid of getting into trouble. To think that she could be so ruthless to her own people, this demoness was indeed cruel and merciless.

  "Good, very good" Li Mei's eyes were like a venomous snake, fixed on Ling Wu Shuang, her words biting and vicious, "So it was you who hurt my brother."

  Grandfather has been investigating who did it, if not for the fact that Night Cloud was secretly protecting her, the Li family would have caught her long ago. Even if they had cut off her bones and flogged her to death, it would be hard to dispel the hatred in their hearts. Unexpectedly, after searching everywhere, she finally met her today!

  "Li Mei'er? What do you want to do?" Ji Yun raised her sleeve and shielded Ling Wushuang, her expression serious. "If you dare to move against Wushuang, I guarantee that you will regret it for the rest of your life."

  Li Mei'er's profound skills are indeed mysterious and unpredictable. Even though he has already broken through to the High-Heavenly Profound Realm, it's not certain that he can easily gain the upper hand. Wu Shuang is currently at most at the Earth Profound Realm, how could he be Li Mei'er's match?

  "Ji Yunyang, the four major families and the Guardian Office have always been like well water not offending river water. If you insist on taking the lead for this woman, then don't blame me for being impolite!" Li Meier's expression was ferocious, with old and new grievances, how could she calm down?

  "Hehe" Ling Wu Shuang's tongue touched the tip of her upper teeth, and she chuckled softly. However, her words were light and casual, as if nothing was wrong, "I'm telling you, madam, don't make that face, getting angry is bad for your health. Besides, there are already many wrinkles on your face."

  The people around immediately covered their foreheads and lamented, they knew that this woman was a master who didn't fear trouble or death. Even Ji Yunyang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, he was desperately helping her out here, but this guy was actually rushing towards the muzzle, this crazy woman would surely cause loss of life.

  Ling Wushuang didn't say a word, but once he did, it was like one sentence worth ten thousand sentences, directly hitting the weak point, not easier than pouring a pot of boiling oil on Li Meier's already fuming head.

  "Detestable woman, what are you saying!" Li Mei's teeth were almost ground to dust, her whip-like fingers crackling with rage. "Are you looking for death?!"

  A woman can be indifferent to anything, but she is extremely sensitive to age and appearance, let alone Li Mei'er who has become arrogant with confidence.

  However, when everyone took a look, Li Mei'er was only in her early twenties, wearing a bright red long gown, which made her look radiant and moving at the same time, but indeed had a bit of a mature woman's temperament, not much different from Empress Jiang. On the other hand, Ling Wushuang was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender and delicate figure, wearing a pure white brocade dress that was simple and elegant, with her hair tied up high, and a face as beautiful as a rare orchid in a secluded valley. With this comparison, the difference naturally emerged.
