Chapter 138 - It’s Just Friendly Sparring

Walking down the streets of Shi Qu Town, it was easy to tell that something had changed. There were extraordinarily few people on the streets, a stark contrast to the previous boisterousness.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen both felt their hearts sink. It was as they had thought — the Ling family really was in trouble.

They were getting ready to go to the Ling family’s ancestral court to ask about, but the moment they turned past the street entrance, they saw this scene.

A group of seven or eight young men had surrounded two people and were ridiculing them.

“Ling Xiaoting, weren’t you very upright? Directly rejecting the marriage on the spot. Tsk tsk. You should be more steady on your feet right now.”

“Just a bastard. Is there anyone in your Ling family who has a backbone?”

“Haha, there isn’t. They only have Ling Yichen. However, it doesn’t matter, we’ll deal with him sooner or later.”

“It’s such a shame to lose Ling Chuxi’s pretty face. If she doesn’t die, just destroying her cultivation and keeping her in my room as a bed warmer isn’t a bad idea either, hahaha…”

This group of young men consisted of people from both the Luo family and the Qin family. The two people who had been surrounded were Ling Xiaoting and Ling Yuanhong. Covered in wounds, the two of them seemed to be quite badly hurt. They were supporting one another, forcefully keeping themselves standing upright. Althought they looked a bit scruffy and messed up, their gazes were full of determination.

“Ptui! Is Chuxi someone people like you can dream of having?” scolded Ling Yuanhong loudly. “Stop taking the piss and look at yourselves. So ugly that even a sow would vomit.”

“What do you mean?! What have you done to Ling Yichen and Ling Chuxi?” yelled Ling Xiaoting. His face changed as his heart suddenly sank.

Ling Yichen and Ling Chuxi were the only hope the Ling family had! Could it be that the Luo family had secretly taken action against them?

A young man from the Luo family began to laugh madly. “Haha, you’ll know what has been done to them soon enough. I’m so eager to see your expressions when you all see their corpses. Hahahaha…”

This person was Luo Yaoshan, one of the Luo family members who had stronger cultivation. Too bad then, that he did not pass the assessment, and was thus unable to enter the White Stone Academy to further his studies.

He was incredibly jealous of those who managed to enter the White Stone Academy, so much so that he almost went mad. When he found out that his family clan intended to deal with Ling Yichen and Ling Chuxi, he was secretly incredibly happy.

Filled with mischievousness and mockery, a soothing voice like a silver bell rang out, “Oh, then now that all of you have seen the two of us, how do you feel?”

The group was stunned as they turned to look at the person who had spoken. When they got a good look, all their faces changed. The expressions of the Luo family and Qin family’s people turned ugly in an instant. As for Ling Xiaoting and Ling Yuanhong, naturally, they felt happy. Especially Ling Yuanhong, his eyeballs were practically glued onto Ling Chuxi.

“Tsk tsk, are all of you bullying the two of them?” Ling Chuxi raised her brow as she slowly approached step by step, with a dazzling smile on her face.

Though she was currently smiling a smile that was as beautiful as flowers, and her looks were indeed captivating, looking at her still made Lao Yaoshan and the others feel a chill in their hearts. Furthermore, they felt a strong suppression as well.

“Hehe, of course not. We were just sparring, that’s all,” said Luo Yaoshan, forcefully squeezing out the words as he smiled awkwardly.

At the same time, his feet had already subconsciously taken two steps backwards. The suppression that Ling Chuxi gave off indeed made one feel uncomfortable. It made it virtually impossible for them to have the determination to confront her.

“So, that’s the case,” said Ling Chuxi, rubbing her chin. She suddenly looked apologetic. “So, it was just sparring. I misunderstood. So sorry.”

Luo Yaoshan grinned and almost laughed out loud. “Haha, no problem, no problem. It’s just a small matter.”

He had managed to brush this aside just like that. Was there a problem with Ling Chuxi’s brain? She actually apologized to him!

However, the next moment, the smile on his face was frozen stiff.

Because the next sentence Ling Chuxi said was, “Then, let’s have a friendly sparring session!”
