Chapter 201

Chapter 201

Dai Zhiman guessed Baili Hongzhuang’s intentions and immediately


accelerated the speed of her whip. The whip densely packed the area,
hiding the skies and covering the earth, completely blocking Baili
Hongzhuang’s charge forward.

However Baili Hongzhuang completely ignored it, directly welcoming the


whip with her sword!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The weapons were constantly colliding. Neither of them ever backing


down. Their power seemed to be the same!

Watching this, the audience was astonished.

“Wasn’t Chen Wangfei’s cultivation a stage weaker than Dai Zhiman’s?


They’re fighting hand to hand, how could they both be evenly
matched?”

“Don’t tell me Chen Wangfei broke through again?”

“I said it wasn’t certain that Baili Hongzhuang will lose. This time, you
guys are all wrong!”

One man’s face was filled with pride. Until now, everyone thought that it
was impossible for Baili Hongzhuang to succeed. Only he believed that
she would win!

Everyone looked at each other. This scene was truly far beyond what

www.asianovel.com

they anticipated.

Dai Zhiman’s heart was also in shock. She was clearly able to sense that
Baili Hongzhuang’s cultivation was only at Mysterious Eon’s early stage,
but her fighting power was equal to her own.

Thus, their strength was completely evenly matched!

No way!

Dai Zhiman felt a burst of displeasure. She wanted to easily defeat Baili
Hongzhuang in front of everybody, not fight her evenly like this!

Thinking up to here, Dai Zhiman’s eyes sharpened as the spirit power in


her body whistled, congealing inside her.

“Serpant’s Shadow Lash!”

Dai Zhiman shouted coldly. Wisps of spirit power started radiating from
the whip, its movements seeming almost as if it was a real snake!

The long whip was extremely fast. The countless strikes seemed to
change into countless snakes, biting at Baili Hongzhuang!

If she wasn’t careful for even a second, Baili Hongzhuang might lose her
life!

Seeing the whip’s stunning display, everyone gasped in surprise.


Cultivating in Azure Water School truly was something!

Just the might of the martial skill caused people to have the sense that
they could not go against it

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes turned cold, pouring all the spirit power in her
dantian into the Ice Chilling Sword!

You could only see the Ice Chilling Sword burst with brilliance, bright
blue rays of light shining into everybody’s eyes!

“Traceless Kill!”

Baili Hongzhuang shouted coldly. Her sword suddenly waved, releasing

www.asianovel.com

neon colors of light, cutting off the world!

Bang!

The snakes that covered even the sky immediately vanished. The whip
that was attacking Baili Hongzhaung was actually cut in half!

“A yellow ranked advanced martial skill!”

Dai Zhiman looked at Baili Hongzhuang, astonished.

A cultivator’s fighting strength depends on not only their cultivation, but


also merit laws (cultivation manuals), and martial skills.

Her Serpant’s Shadow Lash was a yellow ranked intermediate marital


skill, and Baili Hongzhuang’s martial skill was a yellow ranked advanced
skill!

Then as a result, her skill was broken by Baili Hongzhuang’s!

How was this possible?

Baili Hongzhuang still hadn’t started studying at Azure Water School yet,
so how could she own a yellow ranked advanced martial skill?

Although Shengxuan Continent’s martial skills were divided into four


ranks: heaven, earth, mysterious, and yellow, the most commonly seen
were yellow ranked martial skills and mysterious ranked martial skills.
Earth ranked martial skills were rarely seen, and heaven ranked martial
skills existed only in legends.

As Houtian realm cultivators, the most common ranked martial skill for
them were yellow ranked martial skills.

Even yellow ranked martial skills were very precious. Wanting to find
one that suited you was even more difficult.

She was already very pleased with her yellow ranked intermediate
Serpant’s Shadow Lash, but how could Baili Hongzhuang’s martial skill’s
rank be even higher than hers?

Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes were filled with ridicule. She ignored Dai
Zhiman’s shock and continued her attack!

She already gave Dai Zhiman a chance. Now that the life and death
duel’s begun, only one can leave alive!

Dai Zhiman was no longer arrogant, her charming face pale. Now that
her weapon was broken, how could she still make a stand and fight
against Baili Hongzhuang?

“Wait a minute!”

Dai Zhiman constantly retreated and hurriedly shouted.

“This isn’t fair! I don’t have a weapon!”

Hearing her words, Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes turned mocking, “I see. You
studied in Azure Water School for a whole year, and then actually
wanted fairness in a life and death duel. Ridiculous!”

Not only Baili Hongzhuang, but even everyone in the audience thought
that it was rather ridiculous as well.

Your weapon was chopped in half by the enemy because you weren’t
strong enough, and now, you’re actually saying it’s not fair?

At this kind of time, nobody cared if you had a weapon or not. This
wasn’t a child playing house, shouting unfair won’t change anything!

www.asianovel.com
7

But Baili Hongzhaung didn’t care, “Since you’re complaining about your
weapon, I won’t use mine. That way, I’ll let you die convinced!”

Even with the Ice Chilling sword stowed away, Baili Hongzhuang’s
offense didn’t change. Her right hand made a fist and covered it with
spirit power, striking at Dai Zhiman like a thunderbolt!

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang put away her weapon, Dai Zhiman’s face
turned a little happy. In this situation, there was no way she can’t beat
Baili Hongzhaung!

Dai Zhiman also made a fist, punching towards Baili Hongzhuang’s


chest!

Bang!

Under everyone’s shocked eyes, Baili Hongzhaung chose to neither


dodge or block. Her fist didn’t stop Dai Zhiman’s, continuing to hit her
chest!

Dai Zhiman’s face changed a little. She hadn’t expected for Baili
Hongzhuang to face it head on. It was truly beyond her expectations.

Since she had gone up on the stage until now, she was always the one
being beaten by Baili Hongzhaung. She was just completely humiliated!

Thinking about that, Dai Zhiman’s eyes boiled with rage. She wanted to
see just how much courage Baili Hongzhuang had!

Thump!

The heavy sound attracted everybody’s attention. The crowd all stared
at the two on the stage intensely, afraid that they would miss the show.

“That noise just now… I wonder who will win?”

“Dai Zhiman’s cultivation is higher, so Baili Hongzhuang probably


received more damage!”

“Sigh… Chen Wangfei really didn’t need to throw away her weapon.
Otherwise, she would’ve won for sure!”

www.asianovel.com
8

At this very moment, nobody doubted Baili Hongzhuang’s strength. Even


facing the middle staged Mysterious Eon cultivator Dai Zhiman, she still
held the advantage!

Dai Zhiman looked at Baili Hongzhuang whose face was just almost
within reach. Her beautiful face was extremely pale, her black eyes
flickering with disbelief.

“You……”

Dai Zhiman was baffled, her face as white as a sheet. She sensed a huge
force coming from her stomach, her five viscera and six bowels all
bursting with a scorching pain.

She simply didn’t dare to believe it. She actually lost the battle?

“Pu!”

Dai Zhiman spat out a mouthful of blood, her body falling limply onto the
ground.

Everybody looked under and discovered that Baili Hongzhuang’s fist had
punched the pit of Dai Zhiman’s stomach, her left hand holding Dai
Zhiman’s wrist.

Her fist was just a centimeter away from Baili Hongzhuang’s stomach.
Baili Hongzhuang was completely unharmed!

Seeing this scene, everyone carefully engraved Baili Hongzhuang into


their hearts, astonished.

Chapter 203

Chapter 203
Chapter 203

From the beginning, Baili Hongzhuang already had a plan. But none of
them had ever seen it.

Liujing Kun’s face was very ugly. Since yesterday when Baili
Hongzhuang proposed the idea of a life and death duel, he had always
felt that something was wrong. But Dai Zhiman completely ignored his
advice.

Now it seemed like Baili Hongzhuang’s combat strength was actually at


Mysterious Eon’s middle stage. Presumably, Baili Hongzhuang wasn’t far
from breaking through!

At this moment, he could finally understand why Baili Hongzhuang got


Azure Water School’s invitation!

Apart from those monsters, who else could challenge somebody beyond
their grade?

Baili Honngzhuang’s lips rose to form a beautiful smile, a thin layer of ice
covering her eyes. “Die!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s voice fell, her fist once again punching at Dai
Zhiman!

Dai Zhiman’s eyes widened, staring at Baili Hongzhuang in terror. From


that fist, she was able to sense dense, cold, killing intent. Baili
Hongzhuang really wanted to kill her!

www.asianovel.com
10

“You dare!”

Dai Tianxiong shouted loudly. Everything had gone far past his
expectations. Baili Hongzhuang was actually so strong!

But no matter what, he couldn’t let Baili Hongzhaung kill Zhiman!

Baili Hongzhaung raised her eyes, her face turning cruel as she looked at
Dai Tianxiong. Her pupils grew even colder. Completely ignoring Dai
Tianxiong’s words, her first ruthlessly punched at Dai Zhiman’s vital
areas!

Dai Tianxiong thought that Baili Hongzhuang would stop when she heard
his words, but never expected for her to not only refuse, but even turn
fiercer!

Dai Tianxiong wanted to rush out and protect Dai Zhiman, but he was
already too late!

Thump!

A loud, dull noise echoed around the stage. Dai Zhiman was sent flying
by Baili Hongzhuang’s punch and landed heavily on the ground, creating
a thick cloud of sand.

Dai Zhiman stared at the white figure standing proudly up high on the
stage, her heart surging with regret.

She couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe that she had died at Baili
Hongzhuang’s hand.

“Pu!”

She spat out another mouthful of blood, dying the cold ground crimson.
Dai Zhiman could feel the strength fading from her body, leaving her
dantian. She was about to die.

Dai Tianxiong and Liujing Kun both immediately dashed towards Dai
Zhiman’s body, their faces full of worry.

“Zhiman, are you okay?”

www.asianovel.com
11

Dai Tianxiong cradled Dai Zhiman, asking anxiously.

Dai Zhiman shook her head, “Daddy, avenge me!”

The next moment, Dai Zhiman’s neck turned crooked, no longer making
a sound.

Staring at the silent Dai Zhiman, Dai Tianxiong’s face turned extremely
unsightly. He raised his head, his pitch black eyes dyed with wisps of
scarlet red blood.

“Baili Hongzhuang! You dared to kill Zhiman!”

Dai Tianxiong’s voice was threatening. Dai Zhiman was his most beloved
daughter. Now that somebody killed her right in front of his face, how
could he possibly bear it?

Baili Hongzhuang smiled mockingly, “Since Dai Zhiman accepted the life
and death duel, so of course one would live and one would die. Why is
this ending so unexpected for you?”

“I already gave you guys a chance, and you guys didn’t take it so now
you’re blaming me. This is ridiculous!”

Baili Hongzhuang waved her sleeves, her eyes filled with a heartless ice.
Her aura was simply tyrannical!

Everyone nodded along. Before Baili Hongzhuang had indeed given


them a chance, but Dai Tianxiong and Dai Zhiman didn’t appreciate it.
Now, Baili Hongzhuang wasn’t wrong killing Dai Zhiman!

“Even if you two had different views, there was no need for you to kill
Zhiman!” Dai Tianxiong’s voice was cold.

www.asianovel.com

Chapter 204

Chapter 204
Baili Hongzhuang raised a brow, “Now that Dai Zhiman died, you’re
saying that I shouldn’t have killed her. If I had lost just now, would you
have told Dai Zhiman to start of leniently with me?”

Dai Tianxiong’s face changed. He never thought about it that way.

Why should he care if Baili Hongzhuang died or not? In short, he


absolutely could not forgive Baili Hongzhuang for killing Dai Zhiman!

Seeing Dai Tianxiong’s face change, everyone in the audience could


understand clearly.

As early as the fight began, Dai Zhiman was already plotting to kill Baili
Hongzhuang.

If Baili Hongzhuang was defeated just now, this stage would be her
grave. Dai Tianxiong obviously wouldn’t tell Dai Zhiman to start off
leniently.

Now that Baili Hongzhuang mentioned it, it really was ridiculous!

“If General Dai has nothing else to say, there’s no need to speak
anymore!” Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes glinted with killing intent, raising her
brows arrogantly, “Since you have offended I, Baili Hongzhuang, you
should be prepared to pay the price!”

Her haughty, icy clear voice echoed with incomparable power. Even

www.asianovel.com
13

facing Dai Tianxiong, Baili Honngzhuang didn’t hold the slightest speck
of fear!

“Baili Hongzhuang, are you not afraid of my revenge?!”

Dai Tianxiong’s face was extremely gloomy. He needed to avenge


Zhiman and kill Baili Hongzhuang!

“I, Baili Hongzhuang, had never been afraid of another!” Baili


Hongzhuang wasn’t afraid in the least, “But, Dai Tianxiong, if you dare to
offend me again, prepare for your whole family to be exterminated!”

Baili Hongzhuag fixed her eyes on Dai Tianxiong, “Everything I say, I will
do!”

“Ss……”

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Baili Hongzhuang and Dai Zhiman’s


life and death battle finally finished. Now, Baili Hongzhuang even dared
to threaten the general!

For a moment, Dai Tianxiong was frightened, staring into those cold
eyes, deep like a black hole.

That domineering manner, it wasn’t just something she did on the


surface, but a confidence she truly possessed inside her!

How was this possible?

Dai Tianxiong didn’t dare to believe it. How could a mere 15-year-old
little girl possibly have such an aura?

No longer caring about Dai Tianxiong and the others, Baili Hongzhuang
slowly stepped off the stage. Every step seemed to prick at everybody’s
hearts. Nobody dared to speak in such an atmosphere, just watching her
as she faded off into the distance.

Gazing at her proud, white figure walking away, everybody’s confidence


couldn’t help but shake for a long time.

Chen Wangfei was actually so domineering!

www.asianovel.com
14

In a few short sentences, even Dai Tianxiong was slightly intimidated.

Droplets of water dripped down Dai Tianxiong’s gloomy face. He wanted


to dispose of Baili Hongzhuang, but Dai Zhiman died to Baili Hongzhuang
in the life and death duel first.

If he acted now, everybody would think that he was going back on his
word. His honor and reputation as a general would be ruined.

Revenge was something he could only consider later!

“When did Baili Hongzhuang get so strong?” Xuanyuan Jing was


speechless. Her strength wasn’t any less than even Xuanyuan Huan’s.

Xuanyuan Huan shook his head sadly, “I don’t know.”

Seeing Xuanyuan Huan so frustrated and disappointed, Xuanyuan Jing


stopped talking. As his little brother, he knew clearly how much
Xuanyuan Huan liked Baili Hongzhuang.

But now, it might not ever happen.

“Trash!” Baili Haoxuan cursed angrily. He didn’t think that Dai Zhiman
couldn’t even beat Baili Hongzhuang!

A storm was once again set off in the Imperial City. Almost everyone was
talking about Baili Hongzhuang’s grade skipping battle.

Nobody could see what happened during the royal family’s hunting
competition, but everybody could see the fight that had just happened
right in front of them!

Chapter 205

Chapter 205
Chapter 205

Chen Wangfei’s fighting prowess grew even more famous and young
cultivators idolized Baili Hongzhuang even more.

On the contrary, General Dai’s household grew even more gloomy.

Originally they thought that it was impossible for them to lose the duel.
But now, not only did Dai Zhiman lose, but also lost completely. 。

Meanwhile, the centre of this was very calm. For her, defeating Dai
Zhiman wasn’t anything special.

Returning inside the house, Baili Hongzhuang handed Baishi to Little


Black and Little White to babysit before beginning to cultivate like
always.

Soon she’ll be attending Azure Water School, a school famous for it’s
strength. It would be filled with strong people, so she needed to break
through as soon as possible.

Night slowly descended, covering the imperial city in a layer of darkness,


quiet and serene.

In the middle of cultivating, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly opened her eyes,


sharply staring at the roof above her. Somebody was there!

“Master, someone came.” At the same time, Little Black cried out, “It’s

www.asianovel.com
16

not a good person!”

Baili Hongzhaung nodded faintly. Sneaking on her roof this late at night,
who else could it be but an assassin?

Could it be that Dai Tianxiong acted fast and already sent for somebody
to dispose of her?!

“Let’s go and see.” Baili Hongzhuang’s face was heavy, her voice cold.

If it really was Dai Tianxiong, then she could only say that he really
wasn’t afraid of death!

Little Black and Little White hopped on Baili Hongzhuang’s shouler,


following her outside the room.

“Since you came, show yourself! There’s no need to hide!”

Her cold, clear voice seemed to be indifferenta and arrogant. It wasn’t


the slightest bit nervous from the assassin’s appearence.

On the roof, Qiao Ming’s face was astonished when he heard Baili
Hongzhuang call for him. That woman’s bearings really weren’t simple.

At first he heistated when he found that the target was actually Chen
Wangfei, but the reward was simply too rich for him to refuse.

After he kills Baili Hongzhuang, he’ll leave the Imperial City!

After a few moments, he got off the roof and appeared in front of Baili
Hongzhuang.

Baili Hongzhuang examined the sneakily garbed man. His cultivation


was actually at Mysterious Eon late stage!

“Who sent you?” Baili Hongzhuang’s beautiful face was covered with
frost, her voice piercingly cold.

Qiao Ming sneered, “I am only responsible for killing you. As for who sent
me, I’m afraid that you won’t ever know in this lifetime!”

His voice fell. Qiao Ming struck first!

www.asianovel.com
17

He was in a heavily guarded Prince’s Palace. He needed to get the job


done quickly, or else it’d be hard to escape once all the guards come.

Ding!

Baili Hongzhuang quickly unsheathed the blue ice sword and clashed
with Qiao Ming!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sounds of metals colliding were endless. Qiao Ming was filled with
shock.

This woman’s cultivation was only at the early stage of Mysterious Eon,
so how could she still be capable to fight against him?

He could clearly sense that this woman was far weaker than him in both
strength and power. She was fighting him with exquisite swordplay and
will alone!

She was only a 15-year-old girl. How could her combat experience be so
rich?

Qiao Ming was astounded. He couldn’t believe what was happening


before him!

The palace’s guards heard the sounds and immediately ran over,
suddenly surrounding Baili Hongzhuang and Qiao Ming.

“Wangfei!”

The housekeeper was filled with fear. He didn’t expect for the other
party to be so bold and dare to try to assassinate Wangfei at Chen
palace!

If the Wangfei met with an unexpected accident, they would all be


buried in the line of duty!

Chapter 206
Chapter 206

“What are you waiting for? Quickly, capture that assassin!”

Qiao Ming’s face suddenly changed. Even now he still didn’t know how
Baili Hongzhuang found him. From that step, all of his plans had already
been ruined!

Baili Hongzhuang looked at the housekeeper and guards standing not so


far away and raised her hand, “It’s not important, I can deal with it
myself!”

Hearing her words, the body guards sluggishly moved out of the way.
Wangfei wanted to deal with the assassins herself?

Qiao Ming was losing his composure too. Never had he expected the
bodyguards to move so fast or, even more inconceivably, that Baili
Hongzhuang would be able to match him in combat for so long.

Baili Hongzhuang clearly understood her own strength and so she fought
with all of her power. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be much benefit to
fighting with Qiao Ming.

She took out a bag of poison from her bosom and directly threw some at
Qiao Ming.

Under such a situation, there was already no point continuing to fight.

She cared for not Qiao Ming, but the person behind Qiao Ming!

www.asianovel.com
19

Qiao Ming didn’t expect for Baili Hongzhuang to suddenly throw poison
at him. When he finally reacted and covered his nose and mouth, it was
too late. The spirit power in his body disappeared, changing him into an
ordinary person!

Baili Hongzhuang held the sword’s edge at Qiao Ming’s neck, “Tell me
who sent you!”

Qiao Ming looked at Baili Hongzhuang, his face stubborn, “I won’t tell
you!” ”

“Even if you don’t tell me, I have my own methods!” Baili Hongzhuang’s
eyes glinted coldly. As a famous doctor and a poison expert, she was
best at extorting confessions!

Baili Hongzhuang turned to the housekeeper and spoke, “It’s alright, you
can go now. Don’t let anyone know what happened today!”

“Yes!”

Everyone knew that their Wangfei was powerful and left one after
another. Wangfei was strong enough to handle it herself.

Baili Hongzhuang bound Qiao Ming to the door. “I’ll give you one last
chance to avoid suffering! Speak, who sent you!”

“Give up, I won’t tell you anything!”

He admitted that this was the first time he was caught, but he was a
killer for many, many years. Never saying their employer’s names was
the way to survive.

Hearing Qiao Ming’s reply, Baili Hongzhaung wasn’t surprised. Directly


pinching Qiao Ming’s chin, she forced a pill down his throat.

“What did you make me eat?” Qiao Ming asked in alarm.

“Something that will let you obediently tell the truth.” Baili
Hongzhuang’s voice was cold, “After you think for a bit, call me.”

Done speaking, Baili Hongzhuang ignored Qiao Ming’s surprise and

www.asianovel.com
20

returned to the bed to cultivate.

A little assassin wasn’t worth wasting so much of her time on.

Qiao Ming just thought that Baili Hongzhuang was deliberately trying to
make it sound mysterious. At most, it’d only be poison. There was no
way he’d reveal his employer just because of this!

But before long, Qiao Ming’s expression changed. Piercing pains burst in
his heart, twisting his face!

“What’s happening!” Qiao Ming’s face was terrified. What was that pill?
How could he have never heard about it before?

Cold sweat dripped down Qiao Ming’s forehead. The unbearable pain
was almost enough to make him collapse!

Little Black and Little White looked at Qiao Ming proudly. Their Master’s
methods were in no way comparable to an ordinary person’s!

“Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”

Qiao Ming couldn’t help but scream. The pain grew more and more
intense as if 10,000 maggots were chewing at his heart. It was a pain
worse than death.

Baili Hognzhaung’s face didn’t change, continuing to cultivate calmly.

“I’ll talk!” Qiao Ming’s willpower finally crumbled in front of the torturous
pain, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

But Baili Hongzhuang didn’t seem to hear him speak…

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything!” Qiao Ming collapsed on the ground,
“I’m begging you, let me go!”

Baili Hongzhuang opened her eyes, icy cold and ruthless. “Speak!”

“The person who hired me is the General’s Madam, Su Wanjing!”

Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought that it


was General Dai who sent the assassin, not Su Wanjing.

Su Wanjing, you really did a great move!

She originally thought that the General’s Household wouldn’t have


anything more to do with her, but it doesn’t look like others think the
same!

“Since you’ve already lost your value, die!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s voice was cold, directly stabbing Qiao Ming with her
sword!

If you can kill people, other people can also kill you.

Since Qiao Ming wanted to kill her for money, he should also be
prepared to be killed himself.

In this word, it was especially true!

“Master, this Su Wanjing is really annoying!”

www.asianovel.com
22

Little Black’s face was filled with hard-to-conceal fury. Su Wanjing was
simply too stupid. Even though Master had already put her in her place,
she still continued to make trouble!

Baili Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes. It seems like her lesson wasn’t
enough!

She never had a good opinon of Su Wanjing.

From childhood to now, Su Wanjing always looked kindhearted. But in


reality, while she and Qin Yayun both had a gentle and soft image in the
General’s Household, their hearts were actually cruel and vicious.

“Master, you should leave this to me and Little Black. From the moment
we came here, me and Little Black had never revealed our selves!” Little
White gave voice.

Hearing their words, Baili Hongzhaung fell silent for a moment. She
didn’t want to do this, but if she didn’t, Su Wanjing would only continue
her antics.

So, she could only settle it now!

Baili Hongzhuang nodded her head indifferently, “Then I’ll leave it to


you!”

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang agree, Little Black and Little White’s faces were
filled with excitement. They quickly left for the General’s Household.

Su Wanjing was constantly pacing back and forth inside her room. From
time to time she would look outside the door, trying to find the late
staged Mysterious Eon assassin. Dealing with Baili Hongzhuang
shouldn’t be a problem at all!

Only after Baili Hongzhuang’s dead, can her resentment be quelled!

At first, she hated Qin Yayun to death, and now, Qin Yayun’s daughter
even killed her own child!

How could she swallow it!

www.asianovel.com
23

That damned Qin Yayun, that wretched Baili Hongzhuang, those two
accursed bastards!

But after waiting for a long time, Su Wanjing was slowly unable to stay
calm. “Why isn’t he here yet?”

“You’re waiting for the assassin?” A voice suddenly echoed across the
room, smashing apart the room’s silence.

Su Wanjing was startled, but when she looked around the room in terror,
nobody was there.

“Damn hag, trying to kill our Master!”

In front of Su Wanjing’s shocked eyes, one black and one white fluffball
appeared before her.

In such a situation, the thought of their identities completely escaped Su


Wanjing’s mind. She could only stare blankly, asking: “Did Baili
Hongzhuang send you guys? She isn’t dead?”

“If you thought that assassin would be enough to deal with Master,
you’re dreaming!” Little Black snorted coldly.

“And this old hag is still speaking rubbish? Just kill her already!”

Little White was too lazy to deal with her nonsense. Brilliant rays of spirit
power flooded the room, sending the scrambling Su Wanjing flying out of
the room. Her body heavily hit the wall and slid down limply, dead silent.

Little Black watched as Little White quickly disposed of Su Wanjing, his


eyes filled with helplessness. “I didn’t even have a chance to do
anything.”

Little White stuck out its tounge. “I forgot~!”

“……”

The next day, the news was all over the Imperial City.

The General’s Household Madam had been mysteriously killed inside her
room late last night, and the General’s Household was unable to find any
traces of the culprit!”

This wasn’t a trivial matter. The General’s Madam was a very


distinguished identity. Now that the Madam was killed inside her own
room in her own house, the General’s Household’s face can be
considered as completely lost!

Baili Zhentao didn’t expect that just a few days after Baili Yuyan’s body
was put into the coffin, Su Wanjing would also die. And not only was her
death was a complete mystery, he didn’t even have a clue of who
could’ve killed her!

Baili Zhentao didn’t know, but Baili Haoxuan’s heart was very clear who

www.asianovel.com
25

it was.

Mother had told him that she’d sent somebody to assassinate Baili
Hongzhuang. Right now, Baili Hongzhuang was alive and his mother was
dead. Who else could’ve done it but Baili Hongzhuang?

But he couldn’t let anyone know. Otherwise, it’d turn into a huge scandal
for the General’s Household.

Father already told him to avoid Baili Hongzhuang. Even if he did tell
him, he was afraid that Father still wouldn’t do anything with Baili
Hongzhuang.

He clenched his hands under his sleeves. Baili Haoxuan’s eyes were
filled with bitter resentment. If it wasn’t for Baili Hongzhuang, how could
his family have possibly become like this!

Baili Zhentao seemed to have turned many times older in one night. He
could no longer bear the series of attacks raining down on the General’s
Household one after another.

He couldn’t understand. In such a short time, his daughter and wife had
died, leaving only him and Baili Haoxuan left.

Dai Tianxiong originally wanted to go argue with Baili Zhentao, but when
he heard about Su Wanjing’s death, he actually didn’t know what to say.

“Azure Water School’s exam is starting soon. Baili Hongzhuang will have
to leave some time in the next few days, otherwise, she’ll have no
chance of making it.” Dai Tianxiong’s voice was heavy.

Everything happened too suddenly. Finding a suitable assassin to kill


Baili Hongzhuang needed time. If it was too rushed, there might be some
holes.

At this moment, Liujing Kun suddenly spoke up, “General, it’s better to
get someone to kill Baili Hongzhuang after she enrolls in Azure Water
School!”

“Yunyang will definitely be able to avenge Zhiman!” Dai Tianxiong

www.asianovel.com
26

nodded his head slightly. Azure Water School was a place where most
cultivators learned through experience and could possibly lose their
lives. In such a situation, it wouldn’t be a problem at all if Baili
Hongzhuang died!

Dai Yunyang was his son. He entered Azure Water School a year before
Zhiman and already had a decent reputation in the school.

He was Dai Tianxiong’s pride and the Dai family’s hope!

“Right, big brother’s strength is outstanding. Killing Baili Hongzhuang


would be easy as blowing off dust!” Liujing Kun agreed.

Dai Tianxiong waved and a man immediately stepped forward,


“Immediately pass on the information about Dai Zhiman’s death and
Baili Hongzhuang to Yunyang. He’ll definitely avenge Zhiman!”

“Yes!”

~~~

3 days later, Baili Hongzhuang packed up her things and left Chen
Palace.

Azure Water School was very far away. Even hurrying there would still
take a very long time. Since she promised the two teachers that she
wouldn’t be late, she couldn’t break her word.

Shao Zifan, Xuanyuan Huan, and Jiang Hanyue had all left for Azure
Water School together. Although they invited her two days ago, she
chose to decline.

She and Xuanyuan Huan didn’t exactly have a good relationship. If they
traveled together, there was bound to be some sort of trouble. So,
traveling alone would be far more free and relaxed!

Shao Zifan was very clear about Baili Hongzhuang’s situation and
immediately agreed to meet in Azure Water School.

Chapter 209

Baili Hongzhuang placed Baishi inside the Primordial Chaos Ring. The
ring was very different from ordinary storage tools like space bags.

Space bags could only store inanimate objects, but the Primordial Chaos
Ring was capable of carrying living things.

Right now, Baishi was too small. It wasn’t good to bring him while they
were in a hurry.

But over the past through days, Baili Hongzhuang, Little Black and Little
White found that Baishi grew up very quickly.

Especially after eating the demonic cores, Baishi grew even faster. When
Baili Hongzhuang realized this, she began feeding it a demonic core
every day.

She believed that Baishi would grow up very quickly.

As for Godly Doctor Square, Baili Hongzhuang handed it over to Di


Tianshuo and Dong Sirou to manage.

The two had an innate gift for medicine. Baili Hongzhuang had actually
personally written a medical book as a gift for the two and believed that
as long as they studied it diligently, facing ordinary patients wouildn’t be

www.asianovel.com
28

hard at all for them.

Before she left, Baili Hongzhuang had also talked to Ji Wenbin. He was
the first friend she had since arriving in Shengxuan Continent.

So as such, Baili Hongzhuang saddled a good horse and left the Imperial
City, heading for her new school life!

Time slowly passed by. On their way, they inevitably encountered some
trouble, but most disputes were easily solved with Baili Hongzhuang’s
strength.

Baili Hongzhuang arrived at the border of Fenglin city. She was already
beginning to run out of rations, so she wanted to stop by and get some
more there.

The next part of the mountain road was desolate and uninhabited. It
seemed that getting her supplies wouldn’t be very easy.

But right after Baili Hongzhuang finished buying her rations, a group of
men surrounded her.

“Take out all your money!” One of them shouted.

Hearing him, Baili Hongzhuang raised a brow. The city borders were
always a bit dangerous, but she didn’t expect that today, she would be
getting robbed herself.

Baili Hongzhuang slowly turned her body, looking at the 5 men around
her, “A robbery?”

Huang Zhiqing’s eyes filled with lust when he saw her face, “Heyyy, I
didn’t expect it to be a beauty ah!”

The other 4 men also stared at Baili Hongzhuang’s body. This was the
first time they saw somebody so beautiful!

Her looks were even more stunning than Xi Shi knock offs!
*Xi Shi- One of China’s 4 legendary beauties

“Beautiful, going into the outer parts of the city alone is very dangerous.

www.asianovel.com
29

It’s better to come home with me. I guarantee that you’ll never be
unhappy! How about it?”

Huang Zhiqing laughed evilly, reaching out to feel Baili Hongzhuang’s


body.

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes, black like ink were filled with disgust as she
stepped back, coldly speaking, “I’ll give you guys 3 seconds to scram.
Otherwise, you’ll responsible for the consequences!”

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang’s threat, Huang Zhiqing was baffled for a split
second before bursting into laughter.

“Haha!” Huang Zhiqing roared with laughter, “What did I just hear? This
little beauty said we’ll be responsible for the consequences?”

“Right, the beauty looks like a hot little pepper. Huang Zhiqing, you
better be a bit more careful.” The other male teased.

Huang Zhiqing’s smile slowly vanished as he glanced at Baili Hong


Zhuang and rebutted, “I’m actually very curious, how are you going to
make me take responsibility for the aftermath?”

When the surrounding people saw that Huang Zhiqing and his group of
five surrounded Baili Hongzhuang, their faces all turned a little
sympathetic.

“How pitiful, another girl’s going to be the victim of Huang Zhiqing’s


group of scoundrels.”

“This girl’s only passing by, that’s all. Who would’ve thought that she
still couldn’t escape from misfortune.”

“Lower your voice, don’t let Huang Zhiqing hear you. Do you still want to
continue your business?”

www.asianovel.com

Chapter 210

Although everyone sympathized with Baili Hongzhuang, nobody dared to


step out and help. That scoundrel was simply too strong for them to do
anything.

Baili Hongzhuang’s lips curved into a cold smile, shouting indifferently,


“3!”

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang begin to count down, Huang Zhiqing and his
cronies’ faces turned a little bit ugly.

This woman clearly wasn’t giving them any face at all!

“2!”

“1!”

“Scram!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s voice turned cold as her eyes began to cover with
frost.

Hearing her voice, for some inexplicable reason, they all felt their hearts
turn with terror.

Huang Zhiqing was somewhat astonished. The way this woman acted
was truly different from the others!

But, this was his, Huang Zhiqing’s territory!

www.asianovel.com
31

Huang Zhiqing grabbed Baili Hongzhuang’s hands, a shameless smile


playing on his face, “I won’t go, so why don’t you hug me instead?”

“You’re courting death!”

Baili Hongzhuang gripped Huang Zhiqing’s wrist, spirit force surging


through her body, attacking like lightning!

The thing she hated most were hoodlums that did nothing but harass
others for a living.

From the crowd’s faces, she knew that this definitely wasn’t the first
time a girl almost fell into his evil schemes!

“Ka cha!”

A sharp, crisp sound echoed. Huang Zhiqing’s hand had been directly
chopped off by Baili Hongzhuang!

Blood dripped on the floor, followed by Huang Zhiqing’s scream like a


dead pig’s.

“Ah!!” Huang Zhiqing looked at Baili Hongzhuang terrified. He hadn’t


expected for this woman to act so ruthlessly. This was the first time
having such a grave injury!

“Save me!”

The four men finally reacted, charging at Baili Hongzhuang!

Baili Hongzhuang kicked Huang Zhiqing aside, her figure moving to meet
the 4 men!

The four were only at Mysterious Earth initial stage. Although it was a bit
powerful against ordinary people, it was nothing in front of a cultivator
like Baili Hongzhuang!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sounds of punches and kicks were followed by blood-curling


screams. The 5 men were thrown into a pile by Baili Hongzhuang,

www.asianovel.com
32

appearing just like a human pyramid.

He was now struggling like a turtle, no longer showing any of his former
arrogance

Everybody was stupefied.

Until now, they were all forced to act as accomplices to the tiger. Their
suffering was terribly hard to bear but there wasn’t anything else they
could do.

But nobody expected for this delicate girl that looked as if she didn’t
even have enough strength to truss a chicken, to beat Huang Zhiqing
and his men to the point where they couldn’t even fight back!

“Get lost!”

Baili Hongzhuang shouted coldly. Killing these scum would only dirty her
hands!

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang’s order, Huang Zhiqing and his men looked as
if their lives had been saved, immediately crawling up and running
away.

They glanced one last time at Baili Hongzhuang as they ran away,
making sure that she wasn’t chasing after them. Their terror of Baili
Hongzhuang was already to the extreme.

“So weak and wanting to take advantage of Master, hmph! How


brazen!” Little Black cursed angrily.

Little White curled its lips, “This kind of guy can only bully others, just
ignore him.”

Baili Hongzhuang slowly smiled. These kind of people weren’t something


she needed to care about.

Suddenly, an aunty approached Baili Hongzhuang and warned her,


“Miss, Huang Zhiqing has a very strong person behind him. Now that
you’ve beaten him, that person won’t let you off! You have to leave

www.asianovel.com
33

quickly!”

The rest of the crowd all nodded, “Miss, leave quickly! No matter what,
you mustn’t stay here!”

Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang wasn’t the least bit surprised.

For a weakling like Huang Zhiqing to dare to harass girls in broad day
light, he must’ve had a strong background or family behind him.
Otherwise, nobody would want to be just pushed around.

www.asianovel.com

“Thank you all for warning me. I’ll leave right away.”

Baili Hongzhuang smiled. Although she didn’t care about Huang Zhiqing,
if she continued to stay here, it could end up impacting the people on
the streets.

Besides, a bug like that simply wasn’t worth wasting her time for.

She mounted her horse. The sunset cast a red glow on Baili
Hongzhuang’s body, dying her a beautiful shade of rose, making her
delicate face even more beautiful.

Baili Hongzhuang urged her horse forwards, leaving Fenglin City.

When Huang Zhiqing got home, the first thing he did was assemble a
group of men for revenge. It was always him bullying others, never
others bullying him!

No matter what, he couldn’t just let it go!

But by the time he returned, Baili Hongzhuang was already gone. His
face immediately turned very ugly!

No matter how or what, he needed to catch that woman and show her
his strength!

Baili Hongzhuang slowly went forward. Azure Water School wasn’t too
far away now. If they kept up this pace, they’d be able to reach it in 7

www.asianovel.com
35

days.

Night slowly descended. Mountains and forests were always a bit eerie
in the night. Anything could happen.

Baili Hongzhuang looked at the huge valley in front of her, a small frown
on her face. “This place……”

The road was encircled by canyons, barely leaving a single channel to


get through.

If a person went in, then as long as someone was surrounded on both


ends, there was no way for that person to leave.

This kind of place was ideal for robberies!

“A passage like this is something bandits yearn for even in their dreams.
If we want to go through, it looks like trouble is unavoidable.” Little
White analyzed.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded her head slightly, “But we’ll have to go


through some time or another. Since we’re here, let’s just do it!”

It could be a blessing or a disaster. If it was a disaster, they’d just have


to avoid it.

If this place really did have bandits, she’d have to encounter them no
matter if it was day or night.

“Master, you have us, the two Black and White fiends! Mountain bandits
aren’t anything you need to worry about!” Little Black patted its chest
proudly.

With their strength, even if there were bandits, they’d be nothing!

Baili Hongzhuang’s lips curved into a smile. Although she hadn’t seen
Little Black and Little White’s strength herself, from the two’s tone, they
should both be very strong.

“Then I’ll be depending on you two.” Baili Hongzhuang grinned.

www.asianovel.com
36

“No problem!” The two fluffballs chortled.

Ta Ta Ta!

The horse’s hooves were especially clear in the still silence, but Baili
Hongzhuang just continued forward. Suddenly, there was a loud noise
about 200 meters away.

Baili Hongzhuang raised her brows. Did something happen ahead?

Slowly urging her horse forward, Baili Hongzhuang slowly started to see
what happened.

Two men were riding on horses, facing a wave of bandits that blocked
their way. Right now, the mountain bandit’s leader was shouting at
them.

“Give us all your money and we’ll let you go!”

The bandits’ leader looked greedily at the embroidered robes the two
men wore.
He knew that these two couldn’t be ordinary. They must have a lot of
treasures!

“You think you can rob us just because you have this mob with you?”
The warm alcoholic voice was tinged with laugher. Even though he was
surrounded by bandits, he wasn’t the least bit worried.

The man wore a white embroidered robe, his face smart and clear like a
pale-faced scholar. His peach eyes blinked, graceful yet bewitching.

Chapter 212

The brigade leader’s face turned gloomy, “So it looks like you won’t
cooperate?”

“Speak less nonsense.Die!”

The black robed man’s expression was the same the whole time. He
didn’t say anything else, as if talking with bandits was only wasting his
time!

“Hey! Looks like Gong Shaoqing’s impatient already!” The white robed
man teased laughingly.

“You two mad youngsters, I’ll show you us bandit’s strength!” The bandit
leader shouted furiously.

“Ta ta ta!”

The horse steps slowly grew clearer, alarming the bandit leader and the
two men.

Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads only to see a white dressed
lady on a horse, slowly approaching them.

The bandit leader looked at the far away woman, his eyes bright. His
face seemed as if he was about to drool, “There’s still another one!”

[TL Note: this was censored for some reason and I’m not sure what
****** is, so I just wrote what I thought should be there]

www.asianovel.com

They watched as a woman slowly neared them on a horse. Her dress


drifted alongside the wind as if it was in a dream.

Even though she was a bit far away, they could still see her graceful
bearing and stunning face, capable of ruining a country. A glance was
simply unforgettable.

Dongfang Yu looked at Baili Hongzhuang, astonished. His eyes that were


bright like stars had a trace of interest in them.

Usually, when women see such a situation, they would immediately run
away. Why is this one just continuing to come?

In the end, was she 100% confident, or scared stupid?

“We aren’t together with her.” Dongfang Yu stated.

The bandit chief smiled coldly. “You think you could trick me? Don’t take
me for a fool!”

These 3 people were all riding on a horse, not to mention that the
woman came here alone. Of course they wouldn’t believe it!

“Come! Let’s kill them!” The bandit leader waved as all the bandits
charged.

Baili Hongzhuang also understood the situation now, but she ignored the
brigade in front of her and instead focused on the heavy footsteps
behind her.

If she was right, that should be Huang Zhiqing and his men.

She actually didn’t expect that Huang Zhiqing would be so persistent.


She was already far from Fenglin City, but he still chased her all the way
here.

Since there was a battle both in front and behind her, it’s better to face
the easier one.

Very quickly, Dongfang Yu and that other man also noticed the
footsteps. They couldn’t help but feel a burst of suspicion.

www.asianovel.com
39

“I didn’t expect that these mountain thieves knew how to do pincer


attacks.” Dongfang Yu smiled frivolously.

The bandit chief was also startled. Something’s wrong with this, ah!

All the men under his control were already here, so how could more
people appear?

Damn it, don’t tell him that another bandit group came to steal the
prize?

“No matter. We’ll just strike first and gain the upper hand!”

The bandit leader didn’t care, leading his bandits to charge at Baili
Hongzhuang and the 2 men!

Meanwhile had also just rushed over with his men. Seeing Baili
Hongzhuang, he immediately shouted, “Kill her!”

Baili Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes. Last time she had let Huang
Zhiqing off, but now he was still making trouble. So this time, she
doesn’t mind taking care of him herself!

But, Huang Zhiqing’s men hadn’t even gotten close to Baili Hongzhuang
before they were attacked by a wave of mountain bandits.

Right now, the bandits were all looking at Huang Zhiqing with an
ominous glint in their eyes!

www.asianovel.com

Chapter 213

Chapter 213

To them, this place was their source of everything. If you cut off a


person’s resources, it’d be the same as killing their parents. They
wouldn’t be able to survive. They’ve lived in the canyon for many, many
years. Now that another group dared to covet their spot. If they didn’t
teach them a lesson now, what would they do?

Huang Zhiqing was completely stunned. Before he could understand


what was happening, he and his men were already attacked.

Seeing Huang Zhiqing’s surprise, a smile appeared in Baili Hongzhuang’s


eyes. Now, this was really getting interesting.

“Who are you guys attacking ah!” Huang Zhiqing shouted.

The bandit chief replied coldly, “The ones we’re attacking are you!”

……

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fighting broke out in the canyon. Baili Hongzhuang was part of the
battle.

Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing also attacked. The bandits seemed to


be like sheep’s for slaughter. Each time they passed by, another one
would be killed!

www.asianovel.com
41

Seeing the two’s strength, Baili Hongzhuang knew that they’ve reached
the Mysterious Heaven border!

The two seemed around 16 or 17. Achieving Mysterious Heaven


cultivation at such a young age, compared to Dai Zhiman, they were
much more talented!

The bandit leader’s face slowly changed. He also didn’t expect that the
two men that looked like had more money than sense would be so
strong!

At the same time, Baili Hongzhuang sent the bandits flying with a bang
as she slowly walked towards Huang Zhiqing.

“It seems like my earlier lesson wasn’t enough for you.”


Baili Hongzhuang’s lips raised, her eyes turning cold. She was dealing
with the bandits on one side and provoking Huang Zhiqing on the other.
“You dared to offend me, I won’t let you off!” Huang Zhiqing said angrily.

He wanted to teach Baili Hongzhuang a lesson, but he couldn’t even get


close to her and could only helplessly watch as other people attacked
him. “Why are you guys attacking us?”

The mountain bandits glanced at Huang Zhiqing, their faces turning all
the more fierce, “You guys came to steal our territory and now you’re
actually asking us why? Stupid!”

“Young Master, these are mountain bandits!” One of the men called out
to Huang Zhiqing.

Huang Zhiqing finally understood and looked at the nearby Baili


Hongzhuang, his heart secretly a bit emotional: This woman is truly out
of luck. Right after he had set out for revenge, she already managed to
get herself besieged by bandits?

“I didn’t come to fight for your territory, I came to get that woman.”
Huang Zhiqing explained.

Although he actually brought a lot of men, it was still far less than the

www.asianovel.com
42

number of bandits.

If he fought with them, he also wouldn’t leave unharmed. So, he could


only reluctantly explain.

But the mountain bandits only sneered at Huang Zhiqing’s words, “Your
words are so random, did you actually think that we’d believe you?”

The bandits looked at Huang Zhiqing loathingly. How stupid of him,


thinking that he could fool them with such an obvious trick!

“Brothers beat them to death!”

The mountain bandits roared, directly charging at Huang Zhiqing and his
men.

Originally they were only going to rob those 3, but since now another
group appeared, he might as well plunder them as well!

It was also a good way to make it clear that daring to try and steal their
territory, they needed to pay a price!

Bang bang bang!

Sounds of punching and kicking filled the air. Before Huang Zhiqing
could speak anymore, the other side had already attacked!

Huang Zhiqing’s group guarded him carefully. Their strength was just a
bit better than the mountain bandits, so even though there were far
more bandits, they were still able to fend them off.

Baili Hongzhuang’s lips curved into an indistinct smile, her eyes glaring
coldly at Huang Zhiqing. She continued to sweep the men away as she
slowly approached Huang Zhiqing.

“Young Master Huang, I didn’t expect to see you again.” Baili


Hongzhuang said mockingly.

Huang Zhiqing gnashed his teeth at Baili Hongzhuang, “Damned woman,


you think provoking these bandits would force me to let you go?”

Chapter 214
Baili Hongzhuang smiled, “In my opinon, those hired thugs of yours
already have their hands full just dealing with these bandits. Do you
really think that they could handle me on top of that?”

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang’s words, Huang Zhiqing looked around him


and the bandits. They really couldn’t deal with Baili Hongzhuang like
this.

“Since you wanted to teach me a lesson, I’ll give you a chance.”

Baili Hongzhuang’s smile widened. Suddenly Baili Hongzhuang leaped


into the air, her figure high in the sky.

In just a few short moments in the air, Baili Hongzhuang had already
grabbed Huang Zhiqing and thrown him right on top of his men!

Thump!

Huang Zhiqing fell heavily on the floor, bringing about a cloud of dust.

“Cough!” Huang Zhiqing coughed painfully. His body was just thrown on
the ground, aching with pain.

Baili Hongzhuang slowly faced Huang Zhiqing, her clear, bright eyes
shining with cold light.

Watching Baili Hongzhuang easily take down Huang Zhiqing, the bandits
knew that she wasn’t easy to handle and instead continued to attack
even more intensely at the hired thugs.

www.asianovel.com
45

Huang Zhiqing’s face was filled with panic. Baili Hongzhuang’s earlier
lesson was still very vivid in his mind. With his strength, he simply
wasn’t Baili Hongzhuang’s opponent.

“Men, come here!” Huang Zhiqing immediately yelled.

The not so far away group of hired thugs finally saw what happened and
immediately broke through layers and layers of bandits to reach him.

But there were just too many bandits. Even though they wanted to go
help, there was simply no way.

“Young Master, we can’t get there!” One man yelled helplessly.

Huang Zhiqing’s face turned pale. He originally thought that the group of
men he had brought would be more than enough to teach Baili
Hongzhuang a lesson, but he didn’t expect that he’d be caught in her
plan and fall into such an awkward situation.

Just as Dongfang Yu had said, the bandits truly were all just a mob in
front of him.

The bandits fell with every move Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing
made. The bandits simply weren’t their opponents!

Each time the two men struck, it was like a vacuum appeared, leaving
nothing but open space.

The other bandits lying on the floor were all wounded, howling in grief.

Seeing this scene, the mountain bandit leader knew that he never
should’ve provoked them. He was no match for them!

“Sire, Sire, please give mercy!” The bandit chief immediately begged for
forgiveness.

Dongfang Yu slowly glanced at the bandit leader and didn’t speak,


instead turning back to look engrossingly at Baili Hongzhuang.

From the beginning, this woman was never looking for trouble or
shocked stupid, but instead just used the bandits as an opportunity to

www.asianovel.com
46

deal with her pursuers.

Her appearance was outstanding. Even though he had seen many


beauties before, he still couldn’t help but sigh when he saw Baili
Hongzhuang.

Her delicate and exquisite face seemed like a beautiful work of art,
without the slightest flaw.

From no matter which angle you looked at, you could only see a world-
stopping beauty!

The most unique thing was her unearthly temperament. It was


unforgettable with a single glance.

For such a beautiful woman dare to go out alone at night, her strength
shouldn’t be bad. Plus, her intelligence and clever mind had already
been clearly shown.

“Gong Shaoqing, isn’t that woman interesting?” Dongfang Yu turned,


asking teasingly.

Gong Shaoqing’s face was still like an unchanging 10,000-year-old


iceberg’s. He glanced at Baili Hongzhuang, his face cold and indifferent.
“And what business do I have with her?”

Dongfang Yu helplessly shook his head, “Gong Shaoqing, you really no


fun at all.”

“There’s a lot of troublesome things in the world. If you become like me,
your cultivation would be far faster.” Gong Shaoqing’s voice was cold
and detached.

Hearing his words, Dongfang Yu curled his lips, “Strength is only for a
good, carefree life. I definitely don’t want to become like you, who only
knows how to cultivate.”

To repay gratitude and enmity, to live as he wants in the mortal world.


That was the kind of life he desired.

~~~

Baili Hongzhuang stepped on Huang Zhiqing’s chest, a bewitching smile


on her clear, beautiful face, “You…… wanted to teach me a lesson?”

Her gentle and soft voice seemed just like a lover’s whispers, but yet
Huang Zhiqing’s face was filled with panic.

“You……. Me…….”

Huang Zhiqing opened his mouth to explain, but the words he had said
earlier were very clear. His explanation was completely useless.

“Since you said you would send me to heaven, what do you say I should
do to you?”

Baili Hongzhuang’s smile was beautiful and alluring, but the coldness in

www.asianovel.com
48

her phoenix eyes only grew more and more.

“You……you, what are you doing?” Huang Zhiqing’s face was ashen as
he asked tentatively.

Baili Hongzhaung narrowed her eyes, a sharp look flitting pass her
pupils, “If somebody offends me, it’s best to destroy the root!”

Originally, the hatred between her and Huang Zhiqing wasn’t very deep.
Just teaching him a lesson was enough.

But Huang Zhiqing was single minded, even continuing to demand to


teach her a lesson. So naturally, she wouldn’t let Huang Zhiqing go
again.

Hearing her words, Huang Zhiqing’s face was filled with terror. “You
mustn’t kill me!”

“Who are you to me?” Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, “If I want to kill,
then I’ll kill!”

Her voice dropped. Baili Hongzhuang’s sword rested on Huang Zhiqing’s


body, causing him to scream.

“I’m begging you, let me off! I won’t ever dare to do it again!”

At the same time, Huang Zhiqing’s men were all beaten under the
bandits’ siege. All the wealth they had were already robbed away!

The bandit leader looked at the unclear situation and helplessly shook
his head. They were already defeated, but those bandits over there were
just looting other people. How did he raise such idiots!

Just as the bandit leader was about to call them, Dongfang Yu suddenly
spoke up. “Wait.”

Hearing him speak, the bandit leader immediately shut up. “As young
sire commands.”

“Let’s watch the play. There’s no need end hastily.” Dongfang Yu said
smilingly.

www.asianovel.com
49

The bandit leader was startled. Their life and death battle, in their eyes,
had turned into a play.

But the other party’s strength was too strong. They could only obey
obediently.

Baili Hongzhaung ignored Huang Zhiman, the tip of her sword drawing
blood.

“Quickly, save me!

Huang Zhiqing’s scream like a pig being slaughtered attracted


everyone’s attention. When his men saw Huang Zhiqing in crisis, their
faces changed completely.

Their assignment was to protect Huang Zhiqing. If Huang Zhiqing died,


it’d be impossible for them to continue living.

Thinking up to here, they completely burst out. If before they were only
fighting with punches and kicks, now they were truly fighting and killing
like their lives depended on it!

Ding ding ding!

Sounds of jingling gold and iron rang in the air. Their sudden desperate
attacks startled the bandits.

But that only made the bandits even more ruthless. They were fighting
for their homes. What things didn’t they see? Their amount of blood that
tainted their hands absolutely weren’t few!

Watching this battle as people placed their lives on the line, Baili
Hongzhuang wasn’t anxious, just continuing to wear a smile on her face
as she looked at the two sides fight.

Chapter 216

Chapter 216
Chapter 216

Huang Zhiqing let out a sigh of relief, but as he watched Baili


Hongzhuang continue to sway her sword, his heart couldn’t help but be
nervous.

If Baili Hongzhuang forgot and moved the sharp tip of her sword, he
would cease to exist.

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes moved, falling onto Dongfang Yu and Gong


Shaoqing’s body.

From the beginning, she already noticed the bandit leader had
surrendered. Against Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing’s strength, it was
no surprise for him to do so.

But those people didn’t stop the bandits here and instead let them
continue to deal with Huang Zhiqing’s men. It really was a bit strange.

Sensing Baili Hongzhuang’s stare, Dongfang Yu’s lips rose into a smile,
nodding at Baili Hongzhuang.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded in response.

Whatever they’re doing is just to watch a good show. At the very least,
they didn’t have malicious intentions.

For her, that was enough.

www.asianovel.com
51

In a flash, the ground was already littered with corpses.

There were mountain bandits and Huang Zhiqing’s hired men.

When the bandits saw the land thieves kill their brothers, they grew
even more angry, directly hiking up to attack.

The hired men were already completely drained. Facing the unending
cycle of bandits, they were powerless.

Finally, under the mountain bandits attacks, they all died.

At this moment, the bandit leader shouted: “We’re going!”

The bandits there finally paid attention to the other side of the battle.
Before, their eyes were filled with red and had no idea what happened
on the other side.

Although they didn’t know why they were going, since their boss ordered
it, they could only obey.

After the mountain bandit’s speedy departure, Baili Hongzhaung finally


turned to look at Huang Zhiqing.

“It seems that those men you brought were no use.” Baili Hongzhaung
said smilingly.

Huang Zhiqing’s face was extremely ugly, his heart filled with matchless
regret.

If he had known earlier that it’d be like this, he would’ve just stayed at
home and sulked. Now, it doesn’t look like he could even keep his life.

“Master, spare this one’s life! I won’t ever dare to do it again!” Huang
Zhiqing continued to beg for forgiveness, “If you release me, I’ll give you
everything I own!”

Baili Hongzhuang raised a brow, no change on her indifferent face.

She simply wasn’t interested in Huang Zhiqing’s belongings. This kind of


guy should’ve long been sent to hell!

www.asianovel.com
52

But before Baili Hongzhuang could move, a throwing knife suddenly flew
in front of her, landing accurately on Huang Zhiqing’s heart.

Huang Zhiqing’s eyes were opened wide as if he couldn’t believe that he


had died, and even more was unable to believe that his life was ended
by a stranger.

“Noisy!”

A cold and impatient voice suddenly echoed. This man actually killed
Huang Zhiqing just because he thought he was too noisy.

But it was a pity that Huang Zhiqing couldn’t hear it at all. Otherwise, he
definitely would’ve spat out at least 3 liters of blood.

Baili Hongzhuang turned to look at the black robed figure. The one who
threw the throwing knife just now was this guy.

“Idiot woman.” Gong Shaoqing spat coldly.

Baili Hongzhuang looked at Gong Shaoqing, frowning. “You’re talking to


me?”

From her past life to now, nobody had ever dared to call her an idiot!

“En.”

Gong Shaoqing only grunted, as if speaking would only be a waste of


words.

“You, that really wasn’t polite.” Baili Hongzhuang said coldly.

Dongfang Yu looked at the sparks starting to fly up between the two and


spoke up, “I’m called Dongfang Yu and this fellow here is Gong
Shaoqing. What can we call Missus?”

Baili Hongzhuang inspected Gong Shaoqing. His body was like jade and
his face was similar to a god’s. The most enchanting were his two peach
blossom eyes, flirtatious and graceful.

With just a look, it was clear that many women adored him.

“My name is Baili Hongzhaung.” Baili Hongzhuang answered.

Although she didn’t have any good opinions about the black robed man,
the white robed man had indirectly helped her earlier so she also had no
malice against him.

“So it’s Miss Baili.” Dongfang Yu’s smile was gentle, “I’m very honored to
get to know you.”

“Dongfang, let’s go!”

Gong Shaoqing only left a few words before taking the lead to mount his
horse and leave.

“Gong Shaoqing!” Dongfang Yu shouted, but Gong Shaoqing didn’t even


look back, continuing to go.

Seeing that, Dongfang Yu felt a burst of helplessness. Gong Shaoqing

www.asianovel.com
54

was always no fun!

Dongfang Yu turned, a brilliant smile on his face, “Miss Baili, we have an


important matter to attend to so we must leave early. Someday we’ll be
brought together by fate.”

Baili Hongzhaung faintly nodded, “Goodbye then.”

How could she not understand that?

That so-called important matter was only an excuse he made up, but
she also didn’t want to have contacts with him and Gong Shaoqing. The
two of them were only strangers coming together by chance, so
separating like this was excellent for her.

After Goong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu left, Baili Hongzhuang also rode
her horse forward. Azure Water School was only a few days away now.
Arriving earlier would be quite good,

Dongfang Yu quickly caught up to Gong Shaoqing, “Hey, Gong Shaoqing,


you really gave no face!”

“The school’s new student enrollment will start soon and the teachers
wanted us to prepare in advance. Do you want to arrive late?” Gong
Shaoqing asked rhetorically.

Hearing his words, Dongfang Yu’s face changed a bit. This was the first
time the two were in charge of helping the teachers with the entrance
test. If they arrived late, their punishment wouldn’t be light.

“Okay.”

Baili Hongzhaung rode along the path to Azure Water School but found
out that the two earlier weren’t far in front of her.

She pondered. Those two should be Azure Water School’s students.

“Master, those two are pretty strong. They shouldn’t be new students.”
Little Black analyzed.

Baili Hongzhuang slowly nodded her head. “They should be old students

www.asianovel.com
55

of Azure Water School.

Earlier when the two were fighting hand to hand with the mountain
bandits, she could already see their strength. With such strength, they
truly were geniuses.

Azure Water School was worthy of its fame. Inside, there was truly no
lack of talents.

Dongfang Yu looked at the not far, not close Baili Hongzhuang trailing
behind them, surprise on his clear and handsome face. “Miss Baili’s path
is actually the same as ours.” ”

Gong Shaoqing looked at Baili Hongzhuang, cold and disdainful. “You,


always attracting these sort of stalker women.”

Dongfang Yu touched his forehead, awkwardly smiling, “I think Miss Baili


just happened to go the same way as us this time.”

Dongfang Yu’s strength and beauty attracted love from all kinds of
unnormal women.

Some women were even unwilling to give up and even followed behind
Dongfang Yu. Gong Shaoqing had already seen a lot of women like that.

Gong Shaoqing sneered. He moved his hand, stopping his horse to wait
for Baili Hongzhuang to catch up.

Baili Hongzhuang saw the two suddenly stop and was a bit confused. But
she didn’t have anything to do with them, so she just continued forward.

The instant Baili Hongzhuang passed by the two, Gong Shaoqing spoke
up, “Stupid woman, even if you follow us, it’s no use.”

www.asianovel.com
56

Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Hearing him speak, Baili Hongzhuang raised a brow, a sneer on her face.
“Idiot! I was never interested in following you guys!”

Words spoken, Baili Hongzhuang continued to ride forward on her horse.


Her deep, shining phoenix eyes were filled with disdain.

Ta ta ta!

The beauty continued to ride, leaving behind a delicate fragrance.

“Idiot?”

Gong Shaoqing was startled, his mind completely occupied on how Baili
Hongzhuang had called him an idiot.

That woman, actually dared to call him an idiot?

Dongfang Yu was also startled by Baili Hongzhaung actions. After he


finally reacted, his fresh and elegant, handsome face beamed with a
brilliant smile.

“Ahaha, idiot!” Dongfang Yu held his belly in laughter, “Gong Shaoqing,


I’ve known you for so many years and this is the first time I heard a
woman call you an idiot!”

www.asianovel.com
57

Gong Shaoqing’s face was dark. That stupid woman, daring to call him
an idiot!

A crack was finally made on his 10,000-year-old iceberg face. Although


the change wasn’t really a good one, Dongfang Yu was still extremely
happy.

“That Miss Baili is really quite the personality!”

Gong Shaoqing’s detached eyes glanced at Dongfang Yu and no longer


spoke, continuing to ride his horse forward.

Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu originally still didn’t believe Baili


Hongzhuang’s words. After all, many women felt embarrassed to be
caught.

But when they saw Baili Hongzhuang continuing to ride ahead, and
moreover in the exact same direction as them, they were thoroughly
convinced.

“So Miss Baili was going to Azure Water School from the beginning.”
Dongfang Yu smiled gently.

It was rare to run into such an interesting woman, so it’d really be a pity
to separate so quickly. But since Baili Hongzhuang seems to be going to
Azure Water School, it was very likely that she’d become their junior
sister.

Dongfang Yu looked at the 10,000-year-old iceberg beside him. Perhaps


then when the time comes, he would be able to see a very interesting
show.

Azure Water School was located in a mountain range. At first, it was very
desolate and the only thing there was Azure Water School.

But for the past many years, with Azure Water School as the core, it had
already developed into a city. Azure Water City.

Azure Water City was very prosperous. Most of Azure Water School’s
students had very impressive backgrounds. After all, many cultivators

www.asianovel.com
58

needed resources to turn into successful talents.

Inside the city, it could be said to have everything. Cultivation resources


were especially abundant here.

When Baili Hongzhuang entered, the city was bustling with noise and
excitement, not losing to the Imperial Captial in the least.

The only difference was walking here, almost all the residents were
cultivators with strength and power.

Even small merchants and business owners were cultivators. Although


they weren’t very talented, compared to other places, their strength was
definitely far better.

Azure Water School’s influence stretched across the entire city. Not a
single person wasn’t a cultivator.

It was 3 days until the enrollment began. Baili Hongzhaung looked


around. It looked like she could only try to find an inn to live in until the
day came.

Sweeping a glance over her surroundings, Baili Hongzhaung headed for


an Azure Water Inn.

After Dongfang Yu saw Baili Hongzhaung go to the guest house, the


corners of his mouth rose into a faint smile. “Gong Shaoqing, we should
go report to the teachers now.”

Gong Shaoqing nodded slightly. The two urged their horses forward,
going straight into Azure Water School.

Baili Hongzhuang also saw the two moving, the tip of her brow raising. It
seemed that her judgment was correct.

The instant Baili Hongzhuang entered the inn, everybody fell quiet.

www.asianovel.com
59

Chapter 219

Chapter 219
Chapter 219

Everybody turned to stare at Baili Hongzhuang. Right now the Azure


Water Inn was very lively. All the students testing for Azure Water School
would come here to an inn to wait for the exam to begin.

Therefore, almost all the people who came to Azure Water City were
cultivators wanting to participate in the test.

Azure Water School’s enrollment had a limited quota, so every one of


the cultivators was likely to be each other’s opponents.

In this short time, some of them were very powerful. The most likely to
pass cultivators were very well known.

So when they saw another strange face enter, it was only natural
everyone paid attention.

But when everybody saw Baili Hongzhuang’s stunning appearance, their


faces all revealed surprise and admiration.

“My goodness, I never expected this time, there would be such a


beautiful woman testing for Azure Water School!”

“I heard Azure Water School’s number one beauty was Liu Qinyue, that
girl shouldn’t be her, right?”

“I was fortunate enough to see Liu Qinyue a few days ago and although
this woman isn’t Lin Qinyue, her beauty doesn’t lose out to Lin Qinyue’s

www.asianovel.com
60

in the least.”

All the men’s faces changed to reveal adoration. Such a beautiful


woman was truly a sight for their eyes!

“Miss, will you be eating or staying?” A waiter asked, smiling politely.

“Staying.”

“Miss is very lucky. Recently there were many customers and our inn
only had one room left. We’ll book the room for you.”

Baili Hongzhuang nodded her head. She also paid a bit of attention.
Right now, Azure Water City’s inns were all flourishing with business.
Managing to find a room on the first try was already very lucky.

“A hundred gold coins her night, how many nights might Miss be
staying?” The waiter inquired.

“3 nights.”

One night, one hundred coins. The price was considered to be extremely
expensive, but most of the cultivators that came had fairly impressive
backgrounds. 300 gold coins weren’t much at all.

“Okay!”

At this moment, a green dressed woman surrounded by guards suddenly


entered the inn.

“Set up 5 rooms for me.” The woman interrupted.

Hearing her, the waiter’s face was apologetic as he answered, “Miss,


we’re truly sorry but our inn is already full.”

The lady frowned, “It’s full?”

The waiter nodded again and again, “All the rooms are already booked.
Maybe it’s better for Miss to ask another inn?”

Tong Shengyi’s mood wasn’t very good. She had rushed all the way to
Azure Water City and only finally gotten a chance to rest. But now, there

www.asianovel.com
61

were actually no rooms for her?

Glancing around, Tong Shengyi spotted Baili Hongzhuang’s hand holding


a room door key. “What about her?”

“This lady came early and booked the last room.” The waiter explained.

Baili Hongzhuang held the room door key and prepared to leave. She
had been running around the entire night, and really wanted to take a
bath and freshen up a bit.

But just as Baili Hongzhuang was about to leave, Tong Shengyi suddenly
spoke, “I’ll give you 600 coins, so give me that room.”

She didn’t care where the guards would stay. Right now, she was only
thinking about herself.

“Not interested.”

Baili Hongzhuang’s voice was cold. That woman’s words were filled with
contempt and were arrogant based on her identity. It was exactly the
kind that she didn’t like.

600 gold coins?

She simply didn’t care!

The other cultivators eating also paid attention to what was happening.
600 gold coins, it was exactly double the amount.

It seemed that the green dressed lady’s background was quite powerful.

www.asianovel.com
62

Chapter 220

Chapter 220
Chapter 220

Baili Hongzhaung’s reaction was completely in everybody’s


expectations. All of them were cultivators. If they yielded to Tong
Shengyi just for 600 gold coins, they’d really be too cowardly.

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang refuse without the slightest hesitation, Tong


Shenyi’s face was filled with displeasure,

“1000 gold coins!”

Baili Hongzhuang continued to walk forward without out stopping once.

“2000 gold coins!”

“3000 gold coins!”

Every step Baili Hongzhuang walked, Tong Shengyi raised the price
higher and higher.

Seeing her raise the price by so much, everyone’s faces turned a bit
surprised.

3000 gold coins. Even for them, it wasn’t a small number.

“5000 gold coins!”

From the beginning to end, Baili Hongzhuang wasn’t the least bit moved.

Suddenly Tong Shengyi rushed up and grabbed Baili Hongzhuang’s


shoulder, her beautiful face a bit angry, “Behave with integrity, a person

www.asianovel.com
63

cannot be too greedy!”

Baili Hongzhuang brushed her hand off her shoulder and slowly turned
around, her delicate, stunning face cold, “I said, no matter the price,
that I’m not interested!”

Her cold and beautiful voice held an unquestionable aggressiveness as


Baili Hongzhuang emphasized her words.

Clearly, Tong Shengyi’s actions had made her a bit angry.

But Tong Shengyi still didn’t seem to understand, still continuing to act
selfishly, “5000 gold coins, that’s my limit.”

The surrounding cultivators watched the scene, their eyes revealing a


hint of greed.

5000 gold coins for only a 3 night stay. Without a place to stay,
cultivators would at most just have to stay under a tree for the night, but
with their strength, it hardly mattered.

At this moment, a man approached Tong Shengyu, “How about I give


you my room for 5000 gold coins?”

Having those gold coins were enough for him to buy a lot of resources
for his cultivation.

Tong Shengyi glanced at the man, her voice cold, “No, I only want hers!”

In front of so many people, that woman gave her no face. She needed
that woman to regret it!

Now it wasn’t just a problem about the rooms, but a problem of her,
Tong Shengyi’s, face!

Baili Hongzhuang frowned. This woman was simply too unreasonable.

The man helplessly returned to his seat. Seeing this, the other people
secretly started to talk.

“The two are arguing, haha, trying to one up each other. How

www.asianovel.com
64

interesting.”

“If it was me, I would definitely agree for 5000 gold coins. It’s only a
room. 5000 gold coins are worth a lot more.

“You’re wrong. This woman is so arrogant, if you just directly give her
the room, won’t you be losing face?”

……

“I’ll give you 5000 gold coins if you stop bothering me.”

Baili Hongzhuang’s words were cold. She was only a newcomer and
didn’t want to provoke too much trouble.

The next moment, everybody was stunned. A pile of lustrous, gold coins
was left on the front desk.

And Baili Hongzhuang had already gone up the stairs.

Such a scene dazzled the eyes of everyone present on the scene!

5000 gold coins, just for Tong Shengyi to stop bothering her!

Before, they thought that Tong Shengyi was wealthy, but now it turned
out that the white dressed woman was the real rich one!

It was no wonder why whenever Tong Shengyi raised the price, she
didn’t react at all.

From the beginning, she had never even put that small amount of
money into her eyes!

Tong Shengyi was also startled by Baili Hongzhuang’s actions. She didn’t
expect for that woman to do such a thing.

www.asianovel.com
65

Chapter 221

Chapter 221
Chapter 221

Sensing everyone’s mood change, she felt as if a loud slap had just hit
her face.

She had thought that white dressed woman was only refusing to get an
even higher price. But now, it seemed that she was wrong.

“Don’t think of me as a beggar!” Tong Shengyi shouted, “Take your


money back!”

Ting ting!

Tong Shengyi in passing had pushed the coin bag off the table, causing
the gold coins to fall to the floor, issuing a crisp tinkling sound.

“So following your words, does that mean you thought of me as a


beggar earlier?”

Baili Hongzhaung’s voice was cold and gloomy. Her patience was
wearing thin!

Baili Hongzhuang’s stare was sharp and piercing as she looked at Tong
Shengyi coldly, her aura erupting from her body!

Tong Shengyi was startled. This was the first time she had met
somebody the same age as her with such a sharp gaze. It was as if she
could completely see through her, causing her to lose the courage to
respond.

www.asianovel.com
66

The surrounding cultivators had also sensed Baili Hongzhuang’s


penetrating stare. In that moment, Baili Hongzhuang’s image in their
hearts had suddenly changed.

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang’s word that seemed to sound like a question,


Tong Shengyi actually had no words to respond.

Before, she really did think Baili Hongzhuang was just somebody trying
to get more money.

Tong Shengyi turned to looked around at the guards beside her. Her fear
quickly vanished, once again turning proud and arrogant.

Even if she did treat Baili Hongzhuang like a beggar, so what?

Don’t tell her that Baili Hongzhuang would try to hurt her?

“I did in fact think of you like that. Anyways, give the room to me. If you
don’t…… you’ll still have to in the end!” Tong Shengyi raised her chin
haughty, an arrogant and willful air appearing from her body.

Facing Tong Shengyi’s rudeness, Baili Hongzhuang had gotten truly


angry.

In this world, there were always people who had no eyes!

“Who do you think you are?” Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows
coldly. Her pupils, deep like a quiet pool, blossomed with brilliant lights,
“Daring to order me into giving you my room, look at yourself first. You
are unworthy!”

Bang!

Her voice falling, Baili Hongzhuang slapped the table. It groaned and
collapsed, turning into small mountains of sawdust!

Everybody was startled. The white skirted woman from beginning to


end, had acted with excellent mannerisms, but after Tong Shengyi’s
endless pestering, she finally exploded!

From the white skirted lady’s actions, they realised that she wasn’t

www.asianovel.com
67

afraid of Tong Shengyi, but rather, just too lazy to deal with her.

The sudden movement caused Tong Shengyi to retreat a few steps back
before sneering, “Is that bit of strength amazing? Who in Azure Water
City doesn’t have that power? Do you think I can’t do that?”

Baili Hongzhuang’s lips widened into a teasing smile, but her voice was
cold like ice, “If you have the guts, come!”

6 simple words, but it was enough to make their hearts shiver.

This was a true domineering aura

Seeing this scene, everybody looked at each other. It seems like this
time, Tong Shengyi had kicked an iron plate.

This white skirted lady absolutely wasn’t one to be provoked.

At this time, a satirizing voice suddenly echoed in the room, “I was


wondering who was so unreasonable. So it’s actually the Tong family’s
Tong Shengyi, ah!”

Under everyone’s eyes, a purple skirted lady slowly walked in.

Seeing this woman, everyone was stunned.

Although this woman’s face wasn’t particularly outstanding, her figure!

Baili Hongzhaung was also a bit stunned. She had to say, this woman’s
appearance was really just too… unique!

www.asianovel.com
68

Chapter 222

Chapter 222
Chapter 222

At their age, it was very rare to see a woman with such a voluptuous
body like the one in front of her.

Her slim waist was easy to embrace, and those tall, straight, impressive
peaks seemed ready to appear at the call with every step she took,
attracting everybody’s attention.

But the woman’s face was the same as a cute, young girl’s, adorable
and delicate. Compared with her hot figure, it formed 2 entirely different
temperaments.

It was just like a fusion of ripe and unripe, but a sight hard to forget!

“Xia Zhiqing, what did you come for!”

Seeing the purple skirted lady, a trace of displeasure floated onto Tong
Shengyi’s face.

Xia Zhiqing smiled frivolously, running her eyes up and down Tong
Shengyi’s body, “I naturally couldn’t bear to see some people relying on
numbers to bully others, why? Am I not allowed to do so?”

“How could I care about what you do!”

“Just seeing you makes me unhappy. How could you want to care?”

Baili Hongzhuang watched Xia Zhiqing and Tong Shengyi’s squabble and
immediately knew that the two both held grudges against the other, so

www.asianovel.com
69

it was always like this whenever the two met.

Tong Shengyi’s face revealed rage, “Since you insist on butting in, don’t
blame me for being impolite!”

Tong Shengyi waved her hand and the 5 guards behind her immediately
strode towards Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing.
“Let me first!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s face was cold, “Since you’re courting death, don’t
blame me for being impolite!”

She had already ran out of patience for Tong Shengyi. This kind of
woman, if you don’t give them a lesson, they’ll never understand
moderation! =

Xia Zhiqing clearly wasn’t afraid. Watching the bodyguards approach,


she actually started to roll her sleeves for battle, obviously itching for a
fight.

Bang bang bang!

Sounds of punches and kicks colliding resonated in the Inn. Everyone


had already forgotten to eat, too focused on watching the show.

Baili Hongzhuang’s moves were fast, ruthless, and accurate. Each punch
left a man lying on the floor!

Xia Zhiqing’s actions were also ruthless. After the two were done, the
guards were one by one kicked out of the Inn!

“Now, it’s your turn.” Baili Hongzhuang stared at Tong Shengyi


indifferently.

Tong Shengyi was completely shocked. Her guards’ strength wasn’t


weak at all. She hadn’t thought that they would be so easily disposed of
by Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing!

Xia Zhiqing looked at Baili Hongzhuang, astonished. She actually didn’t


expect for this white skirted woman’s strength to be so powerful.

www.asianovel.com
70

Even her strength was incomparable to Baili Hongzhuang’s. She truly


didn’t know where such a talented person suddenly popped out from.

“If you dare to touch one strand of my hair, I’ll make you pay the
consequences!”

Looking at the slowly approaching Baili Hongzhuang, Tong Shengyi


hurriedly shouted.

In a flash, Baili Hongzhuang’s fist struck out, directly knocking down


Tong Shengyi. Her figure seemed as if she was flying, kicking out with
her right foot, sending Tong Shengyi flying out of the inn as well.

“I’ll be waiting.”

Her cold, clear voice didn’t have a single trace of worry. Clearly, Tong
Shengyi’s threat didn’t have the least bit use.

The weak simply didn’t have the qualifications to make the strong fear.

Baili Hongzhuang looked at the nearby waiter and then glanced at the
spilled gold coins, “Treat those gold coins as compensation for the table
I broke in the inn.”

Done speaking, Baili Hongzhuang directly went up to the second floor to


her room.

This time, nobody barred her way.

Originally the waiter was still worried about the broken table, but after
Baili Hongzhuang’s words, all his worries disappeared.

Chapter 223

This was 5000 gold coins!

Nevermind breaking such a little thing, even if the whole lobby was
destroyed, it’d be okay!

Xia Zhiqing followed after Baili Hongzhuang who was walking to the
second floor. “Miss, wait!”

Baili Hongzhuang turned her head, looking at Xia Zhiqing, “Is something
the matter?”

The reason why Xia Zhiqing had helped just now was that of a personal
grudge, so she didn’t really care about her.

Xia Zhiqing exposed a bright and beautiful smile, “Hi, I’m called Xia
Zhiqing. What can I call you, my friend?”

Looking into Xia Zhiqing’s sincere eyes, Baili Hongzhuang nodded her
head slightly, “Baili Hongzhuang.”

“I’m very happy to meet you!” Xia Zhiqing smiled brilliantly, “The way
you handle things is truly to my liking. Let’s get along in the future!”

Hearing her words, Baili Hongzhaung’s lips also widened into a smile.
This Xia Zhiqing’s strength was very strong but lacked thinking and
depth.

www.asianovel.com
72

But, Xia Zhiqing was also to her liking!

“Okay!”

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang agree, Xia Zhiqing smile grew even happier.
But then, her smile suddenly dropped, “These days, Azure Water City’s
inns are incredibly busy. I was a step late, and now all the rooms are
full.”

“I and some other cultivators are going to go rest under a tree. I’ll try to
find you on the assessment day!”

Upon seeing this, Baili Hongzhuang spoke up, “Since it’s like this, it’d be
better to live with me. Although the room isn’t very big, it’s still better
than sitting under the tree.”

Dai Zhiqing’s eyes lit up, immediately waving her hands as she replied,
“No, no, that’ll bother you too much. It doesn’t matter to me. Anyways
my skin is thick, so I’m not worried!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s smile slowly got bigger. With Xia Zhiqing’s


voluptuous figure, who knew how much trouble she’ll get from the other
cultivators. Living outside would be truly troublesome for her.

“Since you’re a friend, it’s naturally not a bother. Living together, it is!”

Between her previous life and this life, she had met a lot of people. She
could see through Xia Zhiqing’s true nature right away, so she wasn’t at
all worried that Xia Zhiqing had any other intentions.

“Then I’ll be troubling you.” Xia Zhiqing said gratefully.

Baili Hongzhuang waved her hand, “Not at all.”

Xia Zhiqing and Baili Hongzhuang went into the room. Xia Zhiqing’s
personality was very lively, and asked Baili Hongzhuang if she wanted to
walk around the city with her.

But Baili Hongzhuang wasn’t interested. For the past few days, she was
constantly on the move. Right now, she only wanted to cultivate

www.asianovel.com
73

peacefully in the room.

Xia Zhiqing didn’t force Baili Hongzhuang, going to explore the city
alone.

After waiting for Xia Zhiqing to leave, Little Black and Little White’s
enlargened bodies sat in front of Baili Hongzhuang.

“Master, we don’t know this Xia Zhiqing. Isn’t it dangerous to live with
her like this?” Little White asked.

Baili Hongzhaung slowly shook her head, “Xia Zhiqing is just an


inexperinced young girl. Her character is very pure, so you don’t have to
worry.”

Little Black and Little White looked at each other. Since Master said so,
they could only listen.

Perhaps after passing into the General’s Household which was filled with
endless plots and conspiracies, her thinking had become even more
complicated.

She even forgot that now they were only 15, 16-year-old youngsters.
There was no lack of pure people. Continuing to use that kind of
complicated thinking would only increase her worries.

So that was why she wanted to be friends with Xia Zhiqing. Having such
a sincere and true friend, she didn’t need to overly think about so many
complicated things.

Chapter 224

Baili Hongzhuang took Baishi out of the Primordial Chaos Ring. While
they were hurrying to Azure Water City, Baishi seemed to have gotten a
little bigger,

She took out another demonic core for Baishi. The little guy had an
astonishing appetite, and every day he would eat one core.

She already didn’t have many cores left and now needed to find a
chance to get some more demonic cores. Otherwise, if he didn’t have
anything to eat, he would become very clingy.

She also gave some food to Little Black and Little White. Since she and
Xia Zhiqing were now living together, it wasn’t good for the two fluffballs
to reveal themselves. As such, they could only stay inside the Primordial
Chaos Ring with Baishi.

3 days passed in the blink of an eye.

After living together for 3 days, Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing’s
relationship became a lot more familiar. Now, they were quite close to
each other.

During this time, more and more cultivators came to Azure Water City.
Some cultivators even came not to take part, but just to watch the show.
After all, this was the school all cultivators yearned to join even in their
dreams.

www.asianovel.com
75

Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing left the inn early in the morning. When
they arrived at Azure Water School’s gates, there were already several
hundred people forming a long line.

Baili Hongzhuang looked at Azure Water School’s entrance. In the middle


of the circular arched gate, a piece of bold, cursive calligraphy was
hung, full of hidden sharpness. There were only 3 words- Azure Water
School!”

It is said that these words written by the first generation Principal of


Azure Water School contained some kind of spirit power understanding.

On the first glance, everybody would feel a shock.

Baili Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes. From those 3 words alone, it was
clear that Azure Water School’s founder was very strong.

“The entrance test starts today. I really don’t know what it’ll be on.” Xia
Zhiqing’s eyes were a bit nervous and excited, “Hongzhuang, I hope we
can get into Azure Water School together.”

Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, “I believe you’re strong enough to be


accepted by Azure Water School.”

As Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing talked, a pleasantly surprised voice


came from the line, “Hongzhuang!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes turned to see- as expected, Shao Zifan waving


at Baili Hongzhuang.

Her lucid and elegant, refined face overflowed with a graceful,


bewitching smile. Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing walked towards
Shao Zifan.

Xuanyuan Huan and Jiang Hanyue were also with Shao Zifan. Jiang
Hanyue also smiled, but Xuanyuan Huan’s face was a bit awkward.

“Hongzhuang, did you just arrive at Azure Water City?: Shao Zifan asked
curiously.

www.asianovel.com
76

Baili Hongzhuang shook her head slightly, “I got here 3 days ago, and
stayed in an inn until today.”

A trace of astonishment swept past Shao Zifan’s eyes. He remembered


that Baili Hongzhuang had set off even later than they did!

“We just arrived yesterday night. I didn’t expect that you’d actually be
even faster than us.”

Baili Hongzhuang smiled and didn’t speak. It wasn’t strange at all.


Compared to traveling alone, 3 people traveling together naturally had a
lot more delays along the road.

“Azure Water School’s entrance test will start in just a few minutes. I’m
cheering for you guys!” Baili Hongzhuang grinned.

Shao Zifan nodded, “It’s very difficult to get this chance. I’ll definitely do
my best!”

“He!” A cold sneer suddenly interrupted their conversation, “Some


people really can’t see their own qualifications ah! Merely a middle
staged Mysterious Earth cultivator and wanting to pass, you’re truly
overestimating your capabilities!”

Hearing that familiar voice, Xia Zhiqing turned her body in annoyance.
Tong Shengyi’s face was filled with hatred as she glared at them.

www.asianovel.com
77

Chapter 225

Chapter 225
Chapter 225

“Tong Shengyi, you’re just like a vengeful ghost! Still not giving up!” Xia
Zhiqing said coldly.

Xia Zhiqing’s words left no face, directly treating Tong Shengyi as no


more but a ghost.

In fact, she always found Tong Shengyi somewhere around her, causing
a scene. It was truly an irksome presence!

“Xia Zhiqing, did you just call me a vengeful ghost!?”

Tong Shengyi raised her voice. Since young, she and Xia Zhiqing were
always fighting. However, Xia Zhiqing’s identity couldn’t even begin to
be compared with hers.

But after they came to Azure Water City, family backgrounds no longer
mattered. Xia Zhiqing was actually getting more and more audacious!

The original peace and quiet were suddenly interrupted, attracting many
of the cultivators’ attention.

The crowd all looked curiously at Tong Shengyi and Xia Zhiqing. Two
beauties were arguing, making it a very good show to watch.

Shao Zifan looked at Baili Hongzhuang, confused. Xia Zhiqing and Tong
Shengyi seemed to have some kind of grudge against each other, and

www.asianovel.com
78

they were caught in the cross fire.

Her eyes that were deep like ancient wells glimmered with a trace of
displeasure, “Tong Shengyi, don’t look for trouble!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s voice was ice cold. Tong Shengyi looked fearfully at
Baili Hongzhuang and couldn’t help but remember what had happened
in the Inn.

Even if it wasn’t because of Baili Hongzhaung, this was the first time she
had lost so much face!

Thinking up to here, Tong Shengyi gnashed her teeth. Right now, she
wasn’t Baili Hongzhuang’s opponent.

Wait for her strength to grow. Then, she’ll get her revenge!

Until then, Tong Shengyi could only close her mouth. Otherwise, if Baili
Hongzhuang chose to teach her a lesson today, on the examination
date, she would lose even more face.

Seeing Tong Shengyi indignantly shut up, Xia Zhiqing’s face revealed a
proud smile and in her heart, endlessly admired Baili Hongzhaung.

She had to speak so much, but Tong Shengyi still wouldn’t shut up.
When Baili Hongzhaung only said a single short sentence, Tong Shengyi
had shut up immediately.

Baili Hongzhaung turned her body and the cold look on her face
dissipated, replaced by a soft and tender smile.

“Good luck! I’m sure you guys can pass!”

Hearing her words, Shao Zifan nodded, grinning. “I’ll work hard!”

“Hongzhuang, let’s line up now!” Xia Zhiqing spoke up.

In this short time, the line had gotten even longer. If they had lined up
earlier, they’d be able to test earlier.

Baili Hongzhuang just smiled, “Zhiqing, I don’t need to line up. You can

www.asianovel.com
79

go line up first.”

After hearing Baili Hongzhuang’s words, Tong Shengyi couldn’t help but
sneer. She must be mad!

Who did she think she was, actually thinking she didn’t need to line up
for Azure Water School’s entrance exam?

“Aiyo, this stupid idiot really doesn’t know when to stop bragging! Do
you think you have an invitation letter, not needing to line up!” Tong
Shengyi ridiculed.

Xia Zhiqing sneered, “Hello? I just thought you’ve finally shut up, but
now you’re speaking rubbish again!”

“Speaking so loudly, are you afraid other people won’t know how dirty
your mouth is?” Baili Hongzhuang mocked.

Since Tong Shengyi was looking for trouble, she didn’t need to give her
any face!

Tong Shengyi was startled, “What did you say? My……. My mouth is
dirty?”

“Other people don’t dare to tell you not to interrupt somebody. You have
no self-restraint!”

Baili Hongzhuang turned her body, refusing to pay attention to the very
red Tong Shengyi and instead spoke to Xia Zhiqing, “Zhiqing, line up
first. We’ll meet in Azure Water School.”

Although Xia Zhiqing was confused, she didn’t ask. She always thought
Baili Hongzhuang was somewhat different from them.

Chapter 226

Maybe Baili Hongzhuang had some kind of special identity, or she really
did have an invitation letter to Azure Water School.

“Baili Hongzhuang, you’re really too much!” Tong Shengyi raised her
voice, “Tell everyone, how can you participate in the examination
without lining up? Saying you’re a special enrollment student, who will
believe that?”

Everyone’s faces changed a little. Special enrollment students were a


unique existence in Azure Water School.

Azure Water School’s special enrollment students’ reputations were


extremely famous. To be a special enrollment student, they had to be
especially talented.

Only a talent could become Azure Water School’s student, so to become


Azure Water School’s special enrollment student, they needed to be a
genius amongst geniuses.

She admitted that Baili Hongzhuang’s strength wasn’t bad, but she
didn’t believe that Baili Hongzhuang could possibly be a special

www.asianovel.com
81

enrollment student.

“Wanting to be Azure Water School’s special enrollment student really


isn’t easy. I heard that this year, only two people were able to be invited.
This woman probably isn’t one of them.”

“Right, ah. Which special enrollment student isn’t powerful and


overbearing. It can’t be her.”

Hearing everyone’s words, Tong Shengyi’s face revealed a proud smile.

3 days ago, Baili Hongzhuang had humiliated her and made her lose
face in front of everybody. Today, it’s Baili Hongzhaung’s turn to be
humiliated!

“Miss Baili is Azure Water School’s special enrollment student though.”


Jiang Hanyue squeaked out.

Shao Zifan had a crafty smile on and gave Jiang Hanyue a ‘shh!’ gesture.
“Don’t tell them. In a moment, we’ll see something interesting!”

Jiang Hanyue immediately understood, a similarly sly smile appearing on


her face as well.

Baili Hongzhuang slowly walked forward. Azure Water School’s entrance


had 5 channels. Amongst those 5, 4 already had long lines. Only one
channel didn’t have a single soul in sight.

Because that particular channel was for special enrollment students


only.

Tong Shengyi watched Baili Hongzhuang unexpectedly not fear death


and walk straight to the special enrollment channel, her eyes full of
ridicule.

When Baili Hongzhuang arrived at the channel, she coincidentally saw 2


senior students recording the names of those in the examination. A
trace of light swept by her eyes.

“Miss Baili, we meet again.”

www.asianovel.com
82

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang again, a friendly smile appeared on Dongfang


Yu’s face. His originally fresh and elegant, handsome face turned even
more charming.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded humbly, “Yes. In the future, we’ll see each
other a lot.”

Gong Shaoqing was standing beside Dongfang Yu so naturally, he saw


Baili Hongzhuang as well. Only, he wasn’t as happy as Dongfang Yu to
see her.

“Stupid woman, line up at the back if you want to partake in the


examination.”

Although his words were harsh calling Baili Hongzhuang ‘stupid’, it was
impossible to deny that he was also reminding her as well.

Baili Hongzhuang ignored his words and shot a glance at Gong


Shaoqing. Just seeing this guy completely spoiled her mood.

“Idiot, I’m a special enrollment student.”

When her words came out, Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing were both
stunned. They never thought Baili Hongzhuang would turn out to be a
special enrollment student!

“Miss Baili, you’re one of this year’s two special enrollment students?”
Dongfang Yu asked, stupefied.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded faintly, “Correct.”

At this moment, Gong Shaoqing didn’t even care that Baili Hongzhuang
had called him an idiot. As far as special enrollment students were
concerned, they were not at all unfamiliar.

That was because he and Dongfang Yu were special enrollment students


themselves.

Only they never expected for the woman they just coincidentally
happened to meet on the road, to actually be one of this year’s two

www.asianovel.com
83

special enrollment students.

Tong Shengyi was waiting to watch Baili Hongzhuang make a fool of


herself but didn’t think Baili Hongzhuang would start talking to the two
male seniors.

www.asianovel.com
84

Chapter 227

Chapter 227

Chapter 227

“That’s Senior Dongfang Yu! Senior Dongfang Yu’s actually smiling at


Baili Hongzhuang. Who is this Baili Hongzhaung ah!”

“Not only Senior Dongfang Yu, but even the always grim and unfeeling
Gong Shaoqing senior knows Baili Hongzhaung.”

“I heard that Senior Gong Shaoqing never cared about others, especially
women. Apart from Azure Water School’s number one beauty, Liu
Qinyue who he had one small exchange with, he had always ignored all
the other women. What holy power does this Baili Hongzhuang have?”

“I really envy her ah. Dongfang Yu’s handsome and gentle face…. If he
was smiling at me, I’d truly be dying happy!”

Voices of admiration and jealousy sounded in the crowd. Everyone


almost even forgot the reason they were here for.

Tong Shengyi was also startled. She actually hadn’t expected for Baili
Hongzhaung to be so capable, even managing to be friends with Azure
Water School’s 2 famed seniors.

www.asianovel.com
85

But, even if it was like that, it was still impossible for Baili Hongzhuang
to cut in line!

Xia Zhiqing’s eyes widened, her face revealing a huge smile. “I knew it,
Baili Hongzhuang really wasn’t simple!”

Baili Hongzhuang pretended to take the invitation letter out of her space
pouch, while actually sneaking it out of the Primordial Chaos Ring.

If the space pouch was lost, other people could take away the things
inside. But the Primordial Chaos Ring had already recognized her as its
master, so even if it fell into someone else’s hand, they wouldn’t be able
to open it.

However, the Primordial Chaos ring was a secret that absolutely couldn’t
be revealed. Therefore, she had hung an empty space pouch by her
waist as a disguise.

She pulled out a purple scalded gold invitation letter. With a glance,
Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing could immediately tell that this really
was Azure Water School’s invitation letter.

Lu Huaiyan and Fuhong Bo also slowly walked out of the school. This
time, Azure Water School altogether had only gotten 2 special
enrollment students. They also needed to come welcome them the
special enrollment students they had found.

Just a step out of the entrance, Lu Huaiyan, and Fuhong Bo immediately


noticed Baili Hongzhuang.

After all, that pure white figure amongst a crowd of dirt was truly too
eye-catching. It’d be hard not to notice even if they didn’t want to.

“Baili Hongzhuang, you came.” Lu Huaiyan smiled.

Baili Hongzhuang bowed and performed the courtesy, “Hongzhuang


sees the two teachers.”

Fuhong Bo helped Baili Hongzhuang up. The fact that they could see
Baili Hongzhuang here made them very happy.

www.asianovel.com
86

Glancing at her, Fuhong Bo’s smile grew even larger, “You got even
stronger.”

Baili Hongzhuang lightly smiled, “I broke through by a lucky fluke.”

Earlier, she already wasn’t too far from breaking through to the middle
stage of Mysterious Eon. After the fight with Dai Zhiman, she had
suddenly came to a realization deep at night and hurriedly successfully
broke through to the next stage.

“Since you’ve come, you should first go to tidy up your things before
looking around your room to see if there’s anything you still want to buy.
Later, you can also come to watch the examinations as well.”

“Dongfang Yu, lead Baili Hongzhuang inside.” Lu Huaiyan said.

Dongfang Yu nodded, “Miss Baili, follow me!”

Baili Hongzhuang once more performed the courtesy before following


closely after Dongfang Yu and entering Azure Water School.

When Tong Shengyi, who seemed like she was just about to watch a
good play, saw this scene, she was completely stupefied. Baili
Hongzhuang actually didn’t need to line up, and went directly in!

“Tong Shengyi, did you see! Hongzhuang just walked through the
special enrollment channel!” Xia Zhiqing’s face was proud. She wanted
to see what Tong Shengyi could say now.

After Xia Zhiqing’s call, many other cultivators took note of this point as
well.

Special enrollment channel. Only the special enrollment students


possessed enough talent to pass!

Besides, Baili Hongzhuang was just personally led in by Dongfang Yu.


That alone was already a tremendous gap between her and other
cultivators!

www.asianovel.com

Chapter 228

Chapter 228
Chapter 228

“That white dressed girl actually was a special enrollment student!”

“My god, no wonder she seemed so unique!”

The cultivators that were originally mocking Baili Hongzhaung had


changed sides in the direction of the wind. Special enrollment students
were very special extances in Azure Water School.

They were people everybody wanted to fawn over and curry favor with.
Nobody wanted to offend them.

“I heard that this year’s special enrollment quota was especially small,
so the level of special enrollment students should be even higher.”

Tong Shengyi’s face paled. She never thought her luck would be so bad.

Altogether, there were only 2 special enrollment students. This random


person she had purposely provoked and offended in Azure Water City
was actually a special enrollment student?

Xia Zhiqing smiled brilliantly. She also didn’t expect that Baili
Hongzhaung would be a special enrollment student, but…… no matter
that identity Baili Hongzhuang had, they were still friends!

Seeing Xia Zhiqing’s grin, Tong Shengyi became furious, “Xia Zhiqing,
don’t be too proud!”

www.asianovel.com
88

“I am very proud, what can you do about it?”

Xia Zhiqing didn’t care about her, but Tong Shengyi’s anger had reached
an extreme.

Dongfang Yu led Baili Hongzhaung around Azure Water School. Earlier,


she was outside the entrance and couldn’t see what was inside.
Entering, she found that it really was a magnificent sight inside the
school.

Many lofty and majestic buildings towered around inside the school.
Wide training fields and fighting stages were supplied with everything
needed available. It was easy to imagine how the students cultivated
and trained every day.

“Miss Baili, special enrollment students, and ordinary students live in


separate areas. This area is the ordinary students’ residences.”
Dongfang Yu introduced to Baili Hongzhuang as he pointed at a big,
orange-yellow building in front of them.

Baili Hongzhaung’s long, shapely eyebrows raised a bit, “We live in


different areas? Why?”

“Azure Water School’s standards for special enrollment students are


always very strict. To be a special enrollment student, their strength is
bound to be many times above ordinary students.”

“If special enrollment students and ordinary students cultivated


together, it would definitely slow down a special enrollment student’s
speed.”

“So not only do they not live together, special enrollment students don’t
even cultivate together.”

Dongfang Yu explained. Baili Hongzhuang understood somewhat and


carefully thought. Azure Water School reason had a point.

If 2 different standards of cultivators cultivated together, there really


would be some problems.

www.asianovel.com
89

“But if an ordinary student has a very fast cultivation speed, they can
also cultivate alongside the special enrollment students.”

“Special enrollment students had their own room to live in alone and
most necessities are already prepared. Ordinary students like with a
roommate, so they can encourage each other and raise a competitive
spirit.”

Baili Hongzhuang nodded faintly, “I understand.”

“This year, Azure Water School only has 2 new special enrollment
students. One is you, and the other is called Bai Junyu.”

“He just came and is in the neighboring room. You can meet him
sometime.”

Under Dongfang Yu’s lead, Baili Hongzhaung became somewhat familiar


with Azure Water School’s layout. “This is Azure Water School’s famous
cultivation pagoda.”

“Cultivation pagoda?”

“There’s a type of enchantment under the cultivation pagoda that


attracts spiritual energy, letting cultivators cultivate with half the work
and twice the effect. But if you want to cultivate in the cultivation
pagoda, you need to collect points and exchange them.” ”

Hearing Dongfang Yu’s words, Baili Hongzhaung found that she truly
didn’t know enough about Azure Water School.

It seems like this cultivation pagoda was the fastest possible way for
ordinary cultivators to cultivate.

And you could only enter by exchanging points. Baili Hongzhuang


suddenly understood. It seems like her school life will be very interesting
indeed!

Chapter 229

“Here is our residence, where special enrollment students live.”


Dongfang Yu pointed at a red building and smiled.

Baili Hongzhuang looked at the red construct. From its appearance


alone, it seemed somewhat more gorgeous than the ordinary students’
residences. Every student’s room also seemed very big.

“There’s not a lot of students in special enrollment, so we all live in this


building. If you need any help, you can just directly go to the third floor
to find me. My name should be on my door. Gong Shaoqing also lives on
the third floor” Dongfang Yu said smilingly.

“Thank you, senior.”

A brilliant smile as bright as a star lit across Baili Hongzhuang’s grateful


face as she gave him her heartfelt thanks.

Dongfang Yu’s tour was very thorough and complete, saving her a lot of
trouble.

Baili Hongzhuang’s room was on the second floor. Just as she


anticipated, the special enrollment student rooms were very cozy and
snug. It could be said to even be luxurious.

Above the door to her room, hung an awe-inspiringly white wooden

www.asianovel.com
91

board, with 4 characters engraved on it– Baili Hongzhuang.

In the huge room, everything she needed was already prepared. It


seemed that somebody had specially cleaned and readied the room for
her before she came.

“Before a new student checked in, everything in the room is exchanged


so it’s brand new. If you don’t like it, you can change it yourself.”
Dongfang Yu smiled.

A smile burst forth on Baili Hongzhuang’s face, “There’s no need, this


room is already arranged very well.”

This room was already far better than what she expected. For her, who
was very used to living in the mountain ranges, this room already made
her very pleased.

“You’re satisfied.”

He looked at the happy smile revealed on Baili Hongzhuang’s face. Her


refined and touchingly delicate face instantly blossomed with unlimited
splendor, a rare and beautiful sight that could not be seen anywhere
else. Dongfang Yu could only stare at her foolishly.

Although she had seen Baili Hongzhuang smile before, it was only a
polite smile. It was impossible to compare it to the smile he saw now.

He had seen many beauties, and he was also very well acquainted with
the number one beauty of Azure Water School. But now, he didn’t think
any woman could compare to Baili Hongzhaung’s looks.

At this moment, a bright and simple, kind voice suddenly sounded.


“Senior Dongfang.”

Dongfang Yu was startled before turning to look at the speaker, “Bai


Junyu.”

Baili Hongzhuang turned and saw a man dressed in yellow robes walking
out from one of the rooms. On the door hung an impressive white
wooden board, 3 large characters engraved on it.

www.asianovel.com
92

The man was tall and his appearance was delicate and pretty,
outstandingly handsome. The corner of his mouth curved to form a
bright and sunny smile, his grin easily exposing his flawlessly white
teeth.

Only a glance and Baili Hongzhaung could instantly tell that this man’s
thinking was simple and pure, filled with laughter and sunshine.

“Bai Junyu, this girl is the other special enrollment student, Baili
Hongzhaung.” Dongfang Yu introduced her before turning to look at Baili
Hongzhuang, “Miss Baili……”

Baili Hongzhaung nodded gently, “I know.”

Bai Junyu looked at Baili Hongzhuang. For a split second, his face fell
stiff.

He really didn’t expect the other special enrollment student to be such a


beauty! This was really good luck!

“Hi, I am Bai Junyu. It’s very nice to meet you, I hope we can get along in
the future.” Bai Junyi smiled brilliantly, his teeth white enough to reflect
light.

“Baili Hongzhaung, very nice to meet you too.”

“In a while, the new student examinations will be conducted. I’m going
to go watch, are you interested in joining me?” Bai Junyu was clearly
done with his room, “If you’re interested, how about we watch
together?”

“Sure, I’m also ready to watch.”

Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly. Xia Zhiqing and Shao Zifan were all
taking the examination, so she should go and cheer for them.

Seeing the two make plans, Dongfang Yu spoke up, “Since it’s like this,
let’s all go together.”

Baili Hongzhuang already looked around and accepted her room. There
wasn’t anything she needed to prepare, so she was all ready to go.

The 3 walked to the entrance together. Golden sunshine sprinkled on


their bodies, warm and luminous.

“Miss Baili, since we’re fellow students, can I call you by your name?”
Bai Junyi asked, smiling.

“Sure.”

Baili Hongzhuang already saw that most of the students in Azure Water
School were calling each other by name. =

Because after they came to Azure Water School, they were all students.
No matter what identity you held before, none of it mattered here.

“Where did you come from? I came from Feng Bo country’s River City.”

“I came from Feng Bo’s Imperial City.” Baili Hongzhuang replied.

Bai Junyu’s eyes lit up, “You’re from the Imperial City? I never went to
the Imperial City before, is it really lively and busy there?”

“It really is lively, but Azure Water City is just as vibrant.”

“Azure Water School is a lot more lively than my River City. When I first
came here, I thought it was the Imperial City! Haha.”

“Baili Hongzhuang, you……”

Dongfang Yu watched Bai Junyu continue to chatter and couldn’t help


but interrupt, “Bai Junyu, we’ve arrived at the entrance.”

Bai Junyu heard his words and looked, “Oh, we did ah, it really is lively!”

Dongfang Yu helplessly shook his head. Everything about Bai Junyu, but
he was just too wordy.

Luckily, it was him that came with them. If it was Gong Shaoqing, this
scene…… he simply didn’t even dare to imagine it.

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes were full of smiles. This Bai Junyu was a very
characteristic person. Even Dongfang Yu was somewhat soft hearted
against him.

However, she could clearly understand why Bai Junyu was Azure Water
School’s special enrollment student.

Usually, these kinds of cultivators had very sharp minds. Whatever they
think, they’ll say, and won’t hide away anything in their heart.
Cultivating under such a state actually provide amazing results.

But although it’s simple in theory, very few cultivators can actually do it.

Bai Junyu should have been born with this nature.

Azure Water School’s new student enrollment exam wasn’t complicated


at all. First was picking through the cultivator’s age and cultivation level,

www.asianovel.com
95

then determining the cultivator’s talent.

The second part was allowing a cultivator to display one martial skill. It
wasn’t about if their martial skill was good or bad, but rather, their
degree of understanding of the martial skill.

If the first part was testing the cultivator’s potential, displaying their
martial skill was testing the cultivator’s efforts.

For cultivators, talent was important, but effort was even more valuable.

The school could use this to see the extent of a cultivator’s effort.

The third part was exchanging blows with a teacher or student. It was
light sparring, taking care not to over do it, letting Azure Water School
know about the cultivator’s fighting strength and techniques.

When the 3 walked out together, the cultivators in line turned to stare at
them.

Needless to say, they already knew that Baili Hongzhuang and Bai Junyu
were Azure Water School’s special enrollment students.

Xia Zhiqing waved her hand at Baili Hongzhuang. The first part of the
examination was already finished, and the second part was beginning
right away.

“Hongzhuang, I didn’t think that you’d be a special enrollment student!”


Xia Zhiqing walked beside Baili Hongzhaung, her eyes filled with
admiration and surprise.

Baili Hongzhuang faintly smiled, “Zhiqing, I’ll introduce you. This is the
other special enrollment student- Bai Junyu.”

“Bai Junyu, this is my friend- Xia Zhiqing.”

Bai Junyu inspected Xia Zhiqing. Her voluptuous figure combined with an
adorable face really did…… really did give people a burst of passion.

Sensing Bai Junyu’s stare, Xia Zhiqing’s face instantly turned black. She
was also very helpless about her figure. She didn’t know what food she
ate when she was a child, but her body made her so depressed that she
almost wanted to die.

“Where are you looking! Have you never seen a beautiful woman
before!?” Xia Zhiqing snapped, irritated.

Bai Junyu was still in a daze as he stared at Xia Zhiqing, shaking his
head, “I really haven’t seen such a beautiful woman like you before.”

Xia Zhiqing’s face turned startled. Could this guy not tell that she was
scolding him?

www.asianovel.com
97

Receiving such a deadly serious reply, Xia Zhiqing actually didn’t know
what to say.

“Miss Xia, it’s very nice to meet you.” Bai Junyu smiled a silly smile.

Watching such a Bai Junyu, Xia Zhiqing was speechless. This image and
the image of special enrollment students she had imagined were
completely different! It completely shattered her fantasies!

Xia Zhiqing was too lazy to talk to Bai Junyu and turned to look at Baili
Hongzhuang, “Hongzhuang, I heard that the first and second parts are
very simple. The real student selection is the third part.”

Baili Hongzhuang slightly nodded, “Showing your martial skills are also
very important. As long as you show the martial skill you’re most skilled
in, it should be fine.”

Hearing that, Xia Zhiqing pursued her brows, “But shouldn’t you show
your most powerful martial skill?”

“It isn’t like that. The martial skill display is to see your level of mastery
over the skill. The higher your understanding, the higher the score. If it
was a very powerful skill but the cultivator had very little mastery over
it, the score would not be very high.

“Baili Hongzhuang’s words are right. The martial skill display is to see
whose’s good at martial skills.” Bai Junyu added.

Xia Zhiqing glanced at Bai Junyu, “What do you know?”

“I really do know ah! My master told me this.” Bai Junyu seriously


answered, “Really, I’m not lying to you.”

Xia Zhiqing’s lips twitched. Facing this guy, she really didn’t know what
to say.

“Hongzhuang, I’ll listen to you. It’ll be my turn soon, so I’m going to go


prepare.” Xia Zhiqing said.

“Go for it!” Baili Hongzhuang grinned.

www.asianovel.com
98

Xia Zhiqing originally prepared to use her most powerful martial skill, but
after hearing Baili Hongzhuang’s words, she changed her plan.

She believed that Baili Hongzhuang wouldn’t harm her. She changed it
to her most skilled martial skill!

Baili Hongzhuang told Shao Zifan the same thing.

Xia Zhiqing was already at the initial stage of Mysterious Eon and knew
that getting into Azure Water School wouldn’t be too hard of a problem
for her. But Shao Zifan was only at the late stage of Mysterious Earth, so
he needed to use everything he’s got.

Xuanyuan Huan looked Baili Hongzhuang. Before, he had always acted


aloof and remote in front of Baili Hongzhuang. Now in Azure Water
School, Baili Hongzhuang was actually the focus and idol of many
cultivators. This was truly luck playing with him.

From beginning to end, Baili Hongzhuang never had the least bit of
contact of Xuanyuan Huan.

Even though their conflict had already come to an end, her initial bad
impression had yet to fade. Not raising any more conflicts with him was
the best situation for her right now, so it was best to just act as
strangers.

High on top of the stage, Xia Zhiqing used her most skilled martial art.
Although it’s power wasn’t very strong, it was the skill that she was most
familiar with.

Chapter 232

Tong Shengyi’s eyes were filled with ridicule as she watched Xia Zhiqing
perform her martial skill.

Wanting to get a high score with that was simply impossible.

Just now, she had displayed the most powerful martial skill she had and
got 92 points. If Xia Zhiqing could get 80, it’d already been very lucky.

Xia Zhiqing confidently finished performing her martial skill and looked
at the 3 teachers in anticipation. Her beautiful face had a smile, but her
hands were secretly seeping with sweat under her sleeves.

If the score was too low, she might not be able to pass the exam and
enter Azure Water School.

The 3 talked with each other, and soon after, one of them shouted, “98
points!”

Hearing the score, all the cultivators’ stares gathered on Xia Zhiqing.
This was the highest score yet.

Tong Shengyi’s smile froze, staring at Xia Zhiqing in disbelief.

www.asianovel.com
100

How did Xia Zhiqing’s ordinary marital skill manage to get a score of 98!

Xia Zhiqing felt a burst of ecstasy as an excited smile appeared on her


bright face. She bowed towards the 3 judges and ran straight to Baili
Hongzhuang!

Listening to Baili Hongzhuang really was right!

If she followed her previous thoughts, using her most powerful martial
skill, she’d never been able to get the highest score. She’d probably
even score less than Tong Shengyi by a few points.

She didn’t expect that after following Baili Hongzhuang’s words, her
score would actually be so high!

From the 3 teacher’s stares, she knew that they were very satisfied with
her use of the martial skill.

“Hongzhuang, you were right! I actually got such a high score! I still
can’t even believe myself.” Xia Zhiqing smiled brilliantly, endlessly
happy.

Baili Hongzhuang’s face burst into a smile, “For the 3rd stage, you can
only rely on yourself. Use all your strength and I’m sure you’ll succeed.”

Tong Shengyi watched Xia Zhiqing enviously. So everything was all


because of Baili Hongzhuang.

Thinking up to here, her heart had a burst of unhappiness.

If it wasn’t for her, Xia Zhiqing never would’ve been able to become
friends with Baili Hongzhuang!

Acting like this, Xia Zhiqing clearly wanted to exploit her. How could she,
Tong Shengyi, let herself be exploited? She was definitely going to make
her pay for it!

Baili Hongzhuang and Bai Junyu watched the cultivators go through the
examination. Sometimes, an excited or lonesome mood would appear on
the crowd’s face.

www.asianovel.com
101

Although many cultivators came here, only a small amount could stay in
the end.

It was because Azure Water School had such a small quota, that
becoming an Azure Water School student had such a high value.

Time slowly passed by. Because of Azure Water School’s efficiency, the
examination’s speed was very fast.

The ending was just as Baili Hongzhuang had expected. Xia Zhiqing had
successfully passed and became a member of Azure Water School. After
fighting with all his strength, Shao Zifan had also managed to grab one
of the last spots and also managed to become a student!

Xuanyuan Huan passed through the test unobstructed, but Jiang Hanyue
was a bit lacking and could only leave sadly.

Baili Hongzhuang walked with Xia Zhiqing back to the dorm. 4 people
lived in one dormitory, so she had to go and sort out her stuff.

“Hongzhuang, you have a whole dorm room to yourself?”

Xia Zhiqing’s face was a little envious as she talked with Baili
Hongzhuang.

With 4 people staying in one room, of course, nobody would be


comfortable. It was very inconvenient.

“A special enrollment student’s treatment really is special. It’s truly


enviable.”

Baili Hongzhuang pulled Xia Zhiqing’s hand and replied, “Cultivate hard.
Strength is what you’ll need to depend on most. Once your performance
is enough to get the teacher’s approval, you can come live in the special
enrollment dorm too.”

Chapter 233

Xia Zhiqing’s eyes shone, her beautiful face eager as she asked,
“Really?”

Baili Hongzhuang nodded her head, “That’s what Senior Dongfang told
me, so it shouldn’t be wrong.”

“That’s great! I’ll definitely work hard and then look for you!”

Her pitch black pupils glittered with a staunch light as she waved her
two tiny fists.

“Hongzhuang, my room doesn’t have anything. Do you have time to go


buy some stuff at Azure Water City with me?” Xia Zhiqing asked.

Right now, her only friend at Azure Water School was Baili Hongzhuang
and going to shop for things alone was just too boring.

Baili Hongzhuang smiled and nodded, “I have time, but let’s go after
dinner.”

“That’s great!”

Xia Zhiqing happily closed the door, pulling Baili Hongzhuang as they
walked off campus.

Right now, a number of students rushing to buy things in Azure Water

www.asianovel.com
103

City wasn’t small at all. After all, if they didn’t but enough to live well
today, there would be no way for them to rest at night.

The merchants clearly knew what they’d be buying today, and had
already long readied their supply for the students to choose.

Baili Hongzhuang accompanied Xia Zhiqing to buy her things. By the


time everything was finished, it was already rather dark and the two
looked for a place to have dinner.

All the dining cultivators stopped to stare as Baili Hongzhaung and Xia
Zhiqing entered the restaurant, their eyes turning bright.

“That white skirted lady is one of the new special enrollment students.
Her strength is currently unknown, but her looks really are enough to
cause a downfall of a country ah.”

“I heard a lot of people secretly debating if Azure Water School’s number


one beauty was Liu Qinyue or Baili Hongzhuang.”

“Really, what a coincidence. Right after Azure Water School’s no.1


beauty Liu Qinyue comes in, Baili Hongzhuang arrives as well.”

“I think this Baili Hongzhuang came after. It doesn’t look like Liu
Qinyue’s no.1 beauty position can be saved.”

Xia Zhiqing heard everyone talk and swept a glance over the crowd,
trying to find Liu Qinyue. It seemed like she was in a private room on the
second floor.”

“Two Misses, the private rooms on the second floor is already full. Would
you two mind eating in the lobby?” The waiter asked, smiling.

Baili Hongzhuang glanced at Xia Zhiqing, who nodded. “We don’t mind.”

The two took a seat in the lobby. Xua Zhiqing poured tea for Baili
Hongzhuang, and said: “I think you’re even prettier than that Azure
Water no.1 beauty.”

“Earlier today when I was waiting in line for the examination, a lot of

www.asianovel.com
104

people were talking about you. The ones that were supporting you
weren’t few at all.”

Xia Zhiqing’s face was filled with excitement. From the first time she saw
Baili Hongzhuang, she had always felt that she was the most beautiful
woman she had ever seen.

Baili Hongzhuang smiled indifferently, “Since Liu Qinyue is praised by


everyone as Azure Water School’s number one beauty, she’d naturally
be very outstanding.”

“So what?” Xia Zhiqing curled her lips, “She’s only first because the
previous students just weren’t as beautiful as her. Now that you’re here,
the title of number one beauty would easily be passed to you.”

“My Master is the number one beauty of the Imperial City!”

A proud voice suddenly appeared, turning the happily talking Xia Zhiqing
stunned. She looked around, confused before asking astonished,
“Hongzhuang, did you hear a voice just now?”

A trace of helplessness appeared in Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes. Little Black


really wasn’t obedient!

www.asianovel.com
105

Chapter 234

Chapter 234

Chapter 234

“Nope, you must’ve misheard or something.” Baili Hongzhuang replied.

“Did I?” Xia Zhiqing frowned. She had definitely heard a clear voice call
out just now, but nobody else seemed to hear it. Really, how strange.

Little White slapped Little Black’s head and whispered, “Master told you
not to speak at will, but you still dared to talk!”

Little Black rubbed his head, annoyed. “I’m just trying to help!”

“If you guys talk again, no food for you tonight!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s voice caused Little Black and Little White to fall
silent. Food was the two’s weak spot.

“Baili Hongzhuang, what a coincidence. We meet again.”

Dongfang Yu’s voice was mellow and warm as he smiled at Baili


Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing.

Baili Hongzhuang was also a bit surprised to meet Dongfang Yu in the


restaurant, “It really is such a coincidence that Senior Dongfang would
also come here to eat.

www.asianovel.com
106

Dongfang Yu nodded slightly, “The school just started a new term so we


came here for a group dinner. Usually, we always go to this Elegant
Cloud Resturant to eat.”

“So it was like that.” Baili Hongzhuang smiled, “Senior Dongfang, this is
my friend- Xia Zhiqing.”

“Senior Dongfang, it’s very nice to meet you.”

Xia Zhiqing’s eyes twinkled with excitement. She had long heard of
Dongfang Yu’s good name.

Amongst all the students in Azure Water School, Dongfang Yu had the
highest evaluation.

Not only was he powerful, but his conduct wasn’t arrogant at all. His
character was also gentle and easy to get along with. He was truly the
Prince Charming in many women’s hearts.

She never thought there’d be a chance to meet him here!

“In the future, everybody will be friends so if you have anything you
need, don’t be afraid to find me.”

Dongfang Yu smiled charmingly, his two phoenix eyes brilliant like stars.

Xia Zhiqing secretly sighed when she heard Dongfang Yu’s words.
Everyone’s words truly weren’t wrong, this Dongfang Yu really was easy
going!

“Dongfang.”

At this moment, a delicate and soft, sweet sounding voice suddenly


sounded as a figure slowly came out from a private room on the second
floor.

The lady wore a hibiscus colored cheong sam. The originally fair skin
seemed even more striking in the red garment, creating an absolutely
captivating scene.

Her long, fine black hair was combed into a sweet, unique bun. Her

www.asianovel.com
107

refined, graceful facial features were gentle and beautiful. Each and
every move, every frown and every smile seem to invoke a tender
feeling inside the heart like water.

Even Baili Hongzhuang couldn’t help praise her when she saw Liu
Qinyue: Really a good beauty, gentle and soft as water!

“Your friends?”

Liu Qinyue slowly walked down the stairs, her dainty face filled with a
tender smile. After she came out, even the atmosphere seemed to turn
gentle and soft.

Dongfang Yu nodded with a smile, “Yep, I’ll introduce you. Baili


Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing.”

“Baili Hongzhuang, this is……”

“Liu Qinyue.” Baili Hongzhuang smiled, “I’ve long heard of Azure Water
School’s number one beauty.”

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang already knew, Dongfang Yu laughed, “Right,


Liu Qinyue’s name is just as famous as ours. I really have to wonder,
how many men decided to join Azure Water School just after a glimpse
of Liu Qinyue.”

“Miss Baili’s looks are also outstanding and temperament is very good.
My number one beauty title is better left to you.” Liu Qinyue softly
smiled.

In this moment, as Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue stood side by side,
everybody could clearly see the difference in the two’s temperaments.

Liu Qinyue’s facial features were gentle and soft. Her clothes were
exquisite and outstanding, with a temperament as graceful as water.
She was entirely worthy of being known as a water like beauty. Just a
simple single sentence was enough to make a heart go soft.

Facing such a beauty, even the most ruthless of people would find it
impossible to talk back.

Chapter 235

Chapter 235

Chapter 235

But Baili Hongzhaung was different.

Compared to Liu Qinyue’s delicate grace, Baili Hongzhuang’s clothes


were very simple. She wore a basic white cheong sam, and her long hair
was bound with only a single wooden hairpin.

But her simple style actually made Baili Hongzhuang stand out even
more amongst the dust, creating a cold, ethereal image of a woman
untouched by the secular world.

Her facial features didn’t look as soft or gentle as Liu Qinyue’s, but her
face seemed filled with life. Her two phoenix eyes were like a deep pool,
seeming as if they could pierce through a person’s heart, bright and
dazzling.

The two each had their own merits, both fully deserving of being called
beauties.

“I think between the two, it’s still Liu Qinyue that’s better. That pure,
water like beauty is truly a feast for the eyes.”

“That’s not right. I heard that in an Inn, Baili Hongzhuang and Tong
Shengyi had gotten into a fight. I think Liu Qinyue is beautiful, but only

www.asianovel.com
110

beautiful, lacking the aura of a cultivator. I actually like Baili


Hongzhuang more.”

Everybody had different opinions and both sides had their own
supporters. It was impossible to find one clear answer.

“Since we’re all friends, won’t it be better for us to all eat together?” Liu
Qinyue suggested, “Big Brother Gong is also going to come soon.”

Hearing Gong Shaoqing was also coming, Baili Hongzhuang instantly lost
interest. Just the thought of eating with that iceberg completely made
the delicious food no longer appetizing at all.

“Thank you for the kind offer, but Zhiqing and I are fine eating in the
lobby.” Baili Hongzhuang tactfully declined.

“Since we all ran into each other, then let’s stay together.” Dongfang Yu
added, “We can all be considered to be brought upon together by fate.”

At this moment, a black figure entered the restaurant. Who else could it
be apart from Gong Shaoqing?

When Gong Shaoqing came, everybody’s eyes turned envious. The


target of their envy was naturally Xia Zhiqing.

In Azure Water School, different cultivators had different social circles


and the special enrollment circle was the circle everybody wanted to be
a part of.

Many of the cultivators within the circle would definitely turn into great
and famous figures. If they could become their friend, in the future,
they’d have a relationship with a strong and knowledgeable figure. That
in itself was a great achievement for them.

Baili Hongzhuang was a special enrollment student, so she was already


a part of the circle from the beginning. But Xia Zhiqing was only an
ordinary student and managed to meet Azure Water School’s famed
figures because of Baili Hongzhuang. How could they not envy her?”

“Dongfang Yu, Gong Shaoqing, and Liu Qinyue always had a good

www.asianovel.com
111

relationship, but I didn’t expect for them to suddenly invite Baili


Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing too today. It’s really so enviable.”

Gong Shaoqing’s eyes froze for a few seconds when he saw Baili
Hongzhuang. He clearly hadn’t expected for Baili Hongzhuang to be here
as well.

“Gong Shaoqing, you came.” Dongfang Yu smiled, “I’m done with the
teacher’s assignment.”

“En.”

Gong Shaoqing still treated his words like gold and simply grunted a
reply, unwilling to spend even a single word.

“Big brother Gong, we just happened to run across junior sister Baili
here and invited them to eat with us.”

Gong Shaoqing glanced at Baili Hongzhuang and didn’t speak.

“Shall we go? The foods and drinks were already sent up.” Liu Qinyue
spoke up.

Seeing Liu Qinyue so cordial, Baili Hongzhuang couldn’t refuse and could
only go with Dongfang Yu and the others to the second-floor room.

Xia Zhiqing also knew that Baili Hongzhaung wasn’t afraid to disturb Liu
Qinyue and the others, but just simply didn’t want to go. However, she
could only keep silent.

After all, she was a stranger to them. Interrupting wouldn’t be


appropriate.

“I ordered a bit of food to accompany the wine. Junior sister Baili, you
two should take a look. If it’s not to your liking, you can order some
other dishes?”

www.asianovel.com
112

Chapter 236

Chapter 236
Chapter 236

Liu Qinyue’s voice was gentle and soft as she smiled sweetly, cordially
taking care of Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing’s needs.

Baili Hongzhuang waved her hand and replied, “These foods and drinks
are already very rich, there’s no need to trouble you all.”

“Baili Hongzhuang, I hope you won’t take Gong Shaoqing and I’s
misunderstanding earlier.”

Dongfang Yu’s face was a bit teasing as he spoke. Looking back at it


now, that situation really was ridiculous.

Baili Hongzhuang naturally understood what Dongfang Yu meant and


also laughed, “I understand, I’m afraid with Senior Dongfang’s charm, it
happens pretty often. I don’t mind.”

Hearing Dongfang Yu and Baili Hongzhuang’s conversation, Liu Qinyue


couldn’t help but be a little curious, “What happened earlier?”

Seeing how curious Liu Qinyue looked, Dongfang Yu smiled and


explained what happened earlier. Liu Qinyue and Xia Zhiqing couldn’t
help but laugh loudly.

“Haha, with our Hongzhuang’s beauty there’s was never a need to follow
you guys like that.” Xia Zhiqing looked at Baili Hongzhaung laughingly.

Dongfang Yu nodded slightly. Baili Hongzhaung’s looks so outstanding to

www.asianovel.com
113

the point that the number of pursuers she attracted couldn’t be small.

Before he had already told Gong Shaoqing, but Gong Shaoqing didn’t
believe it. For the first time, Gong Shaoqing’s judgment was finally
wrong.

Gong Shaoqing’s face was cold, “Stupid woman, it’s not strange for me
to think that.”

Baili Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes when she heard Gong Shaoqing
speak. She knew running into this guy would spoil her appetite.

“Oy, you idiot, why are you always calling me stupid!”

Baili Hongzhuang raised her brows, casting a sidelong glance at Gong


Shaoqing. The first time they talked, he had also called her ‘stupid
woman’.

She, Baili Hongzhuang had lived for a long time. People have scolded her
as useless, others call her ruthless, but no one had ever called her
stupid.

“Who did you call an idiot?” Gong Shaoqing shot back coldly, a layer of
ice seemingly appearing on his originally cold face.

Liu Qinyue and Dongfang Yu were both surprised. They hadn’t expected
for their nice chat about what had happened on that day to suddenly
change into this. Gong Shaoqing was angry.

But Baili Hongzhuang actually didn’t care and answered, “Apart from
you, who else here is an idiot?”

“Bang!” Gong Shaoqing banged the table as he stood up, “Stupid


woman, you dare to call me an idiot?”

Baili Hongzhuang also got up, not to be outdone. “You called me stupid,
so why can’t I call you an idiot?”

“Did you know that you’re the first person to have ever called me an
idiot.” Gong Shaoqing’s eyes flickered coldly, his voice like ice.

www.asianovel.com
114

“You’re also the first one to call me stupid!”

“We’re all friends, so let’s speak nicely. There’s no need to get angry
over such a small thing.”

Dongfang Yu immediately stood and tried to smooth things over but in


his heart, he was shocked at Baili Hongzhuang’s actions.

He didn’t expect that Baili Hongzhuang would even dare to face such a
cold and unfeeling Gong Shaoqing.

Young cultivators all possessed some degree of arrogance, but in Azure


Water School, he was afraid that apart from Baili Hongzhuang, nobody
else dared to challenge Gong Shaoqing.

Gong Shaoqing looked coldly at Baili Hongzhuang and Baili Hongzhuang


glared back, fighting back. Although the two didn’t continue to bicker,
their attitudes already made everything clear.

Xia Zhiqing was silent. She didn’t understand what happened for the
situation to have turned out like this.

The two of them should be considered enemies, right? But looking at this
situation, she felt that it wasn’t the case.

www.asianovel.com
115

Chapter 237

Chapter 237

Because although the words they used as they argued were harsh, there
wasn’t the least bit of force or intent behind them. Rather, it seemed
more like…… a quarrel?

A quarrel?

When that thought appeared in Xia Zhiqing’s mind, even she herself
didn’t dare to believe it.

As long as somebody was a student of Azure Water School, they’d all


know that the strongest amongst the special enrollment students, Gong
Shaoqing, always behaved coldly. There was never any ‘what if’s.

Words like ‘quarreling’ should have nothing to do with Gong Shaoqing,


right?

Liu Qinyue’s eyes that were clear as water couldn’t help but turn
astonished when she saw such a side of Gong Shaoqing.

She had never seen a Gong Shaoqing like this before, ever.

Usually, if somebody dared to talk to Gong dage like that, Gong dage
would’ve just directly attacked. And he wouldn’t be at all polite with it
either.”

She knew that as far as Gong dage was concerned, there was no
difference between men and women. All apart from her.

www.asianovel.com
116

So then why was Gong dage different with Baili Hongzhuang?

The meal ended with the awkward atmosphere still in the air. After
leaving Elegant Cloud restaurant, Baili Hongzhuang’s group and
Dongfang Yu’s left separately.

“Hongzhuang, what happened between you and Gong Shaoqing?” Xia


Zhiqing asked curiously.

Although she and Baili Hongzhuang hadn’t known each other for very
long, she knew Baili Hongzhuang’s temper very well.

Today’s argument didn’t match with Baili Hongzhuang’s usual behavior.

Baili Hongzhuang shook her head slightly, “I’m fed up with that guy,
everything I said was because he started it.”

Xia Zhiqing faintly laughed in response, “Gong Shaoqing’s famous for his
cold attitude and poisonous tongue. Everybody knows that.”

That was why even though Gong Shaoqing was Azure Water School’s
strongest student, he wasn’t very popular.

Baili Hongzhuang raised her brows. It seemed that everyone in Azure


Water School already knew about that somewhat, and she was the only
one to find out now.

“Don’t mention that stupid guy. If he’s not mentioned, I won’t be


grumpy!” Baili Hongzhuang replied.

“Hongzhuang, what’s your impression of Liu Qinyue?”

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes wandered as she slowly spoke: “Pretty good, a


gentle beauty.”

Xia Zhiqing shook her head, “She’s just too soft and gentle and it makes
me feel a bit uneasy. I still feel a lot more comfortable with you.”

The corners of Baili Hongzhuang’s mouth twitched into a bright, clear


smile. Those words really do sound like words Xia Zhiqing would say.

www.asianovel.com
117

……

The early morning sun shined through the window, lighting up the room,
sprinkling on the cultivating Baili Hongzhuang.

“Knock knock.”

A knock echoed at the door, followed by Bai Junyu’s clear voice, “Baili
Hongzhuang, we’re training behind the mountains today. Can you get
up?”

Baili Hongzhuang stopped cultivating. She already had everything


prepared. She opened the door and smiled, “Bai Junyu, let’s go to the
training area together.”

Bai Junyu smiled brightly. Today was their first day studying at Azure
Water School, so his mood was quite cheerful.

Yesterday, Dongfang Yu had already introduced the two to the training


area. Ordinary students of the school usually practiced on the fighting
stages within the school, while the special enrollment students practiced
behind the mountains.

The area behind the mountains was practically the special student’s
territory.

As they passed through the regular training area, the two of them
noticed Xia Zhiqing waving at them with a smile.

Baili Hongzhuang returned the wave and found Bai Junyu waving back in
an almost extreme manner.

“Master, why is that guy waving like this?” Little White said as he turned
around rolling his eyes.

“Maybe he’s interested in Xia Zhiqing.” Little Black rubbed his chin as he
began to ponder.

Little White’s eyes lit up, “As a matter of fact, you might acutally be
right.”

Baili Hongzhuang ignored the two fluff balls imaginations but she also
thought that Bai Junyu really was a bit too enthusiastic with Xia Zhiqing.
However, that wasn’t really a bad thing.

The other students watched in envy as Baili Hongzhuang and Bai Junyu
walked together behind the mountains.

Going into the area behind the mountains was something they dreamed
of.

Special enrollment students in Azure Water School were a special


existence.

When Baili Hongzhuang and Bai Junyu arrived behind the mountains,
Dongfang Yu was already there.

The training fields behind the mountains were far bigger than the
ordinary students’ training areas, but if one were to look around, they’d
find that almost no people were there.

Dongfang Yu, Gong Shaoqing, and Liu Qinyue were all there, and there
was also 3 people that Baili Hongzhuang didn’t know.

At this moment, Fuhong Bo appeared in front of everybody.

“Everyone’s already here. Please welcome this year’s new special

www.asianovel.com
120

enrollment students: Baili Hongzhuang and Bai Junyu.”

After Fuhong Bo’s introduction, Dongfang Yu and the others all started
clapping. The loud claps echoed behind the mountains.

“Yesterday, Dongfang Yu should’ve already told you our school’s


situation. Our special enrollment students are not confined to the school,
so many of them are currently outside.”

From Fuhong Bo’s speech, Baili Hongzhuang knew that most of Azure
Water School’s special enrollment students were situated outside of the
school.

Not all of them were here right now, and many still didn’t return from
outside training.

Today was the school’s opening day, so they’ve all gathered here. On
normal days, there was no need to come here to report.

The way many of the cultivators trained was by taking tasks from the
Mercenary Trade Union. While completing the task, they would gain
strength and experience. Once they’ve completed it, they can get
points.

Points were something everyone in Azure Water School wanted.

That was because if you wanted to cultivate in the cultivation padoga,


you needed to pay points. If you didn’t have points, you can’t cultivate
there.

The cultivation padoga was a place that all cultivators yearned for even
in their dreams to cultivate. The spirit power there was rich enough for
them to achieve twice the results with half the work, something nobody
could ignore.

“The two new special enrollment students don’t know very much about
the point system, so how about we do this.” Fuhong Bo looked at Gong
Shaoqing and the others, “Gong Shaoqing, you and Baili Hongzhuang
will be a group. Bai Junyu, you and Cui Haoyan will also be a group. You

www.asianovel.com
121

two will take care of the new special enrollment students, is there a
problem with that?”
When Gong Shaoqing heard that he was grouped with Baili Hongzhuang,
waves appeared in his deep, black pupils. He didn’t look at Baili
Hongzhuang and answered, “No problem.”

Cui Haoyan also nodded, “No problem! Bai Junyu, don’t worry following
us as your teachers.”

A teasing smile was in Dongfang Yu’s eyes. This was really going to be
interesting.

Baili Hongzhuang and Gong Shaoqing were the most disagreeable


couple, but now they’re forced to be a team together. It looks like this
will really be a good show to watch.

When Liu Qingyun heard this, her face went stiff. But in a flash, it was
back to normal. Nobody noticed a thing.

Dongfang Yu walked beside Baili Hongzhuang, one hand on her shoulder


as he smiled, “Have you already registered as a mercenary at the
Mercenary Trade Union?”

Baili Hongzhuang was a bit startled and shook her head, “I still haven’t.”

Hearing that, everyone was a bit surprised. The Mercenary Trade Union
was a very big organization in Shengxuan Continent.

Basically, all cultivators their age had already registered as a mercenary.


They hadn’t thought that Baili Hongzhuang actually still hadn’t
registered.

www.asianovel.com
122

Chapter 239

Chapter 239
Chapter 239

“Baili Hongzhuang, I’ve been a mercenary for 2 years now, but you
haven’t even registered yet?” Bai Junyu asked, astonished.

Baili Hongzhaung laughed a little. Back in the General’s Household, she


was never allowed to take even half a step out of the residence, so how
could she have possibly been able to register as a mercenary?

“Baili Hongzhuang, how about I go with you to register?” Dongfang Yu


asked.

“There’s no need, I’m fine with going alone.”

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang’s firm tone, Dongfang Yu just nodded, “While


you register as a mercenary, we’ll pick the first task. This is your first
mission, so us 3 will be leading. What do you think?”

“No problem!”

“We’ll tell you once we’ve chosen a mission. In the meantime, you can
go look around for some things you might want to buy and use when the
time comes.”

“I understand.”

After leaving Azure Water School through the back of the mountains,
Baili Hongzhuang went to the Mercenary Trading Union. Dongfang Yu

www.asianovel.com
123

had already told her where Azure Water City’s Mercenary Trading Union
was.

The Mercenary Trading Union was the organization with the most
members on Shengxuan Continent even though being a mercenary was
a very dangerous occupation that often bordered the line of death.

Demonic beast fur, blood, and cores possessed all kinds of good things
for humankind. With demand, there was naturally an occupation.

Some cultivators hunt demonic beasts to make a living, exchanging the


corpses of demonic beasts for gold.

Mercenary Trading Unions issued all sorts of tasks and missions. If


someone wanted a certain demonic beast, they could issue a mission in
the trade union.

Mercenaries accept the mission and upon completion, gets the reward.
The reward was often far higher than what they could get from selling
off the corpse alone.

Big shops, weapon stores, and pill masters all wanted demonic beasts
for different reasons. Under such circumstances, the Mercenary Trade
Union was able to quickly grow and strengthen.

Now, the Mercenary Trade Union had already become the biggest
organization on Shengxuan Continent. Compared to other sects, its
power was absolutely enormous.

No matter who it was, any cultivator could become a mercenary.


Furthermore, they could leave any time they wanted to. There were no
restrictions whatsoever.

Therefore, all kinds of cultivators and identities registered as


mercenaries. Rich families also wanted their juniors to learn through
experience.

Other mercenaries often accepted missions as a way to make a living,


but Azure Water Schools students did missions not for the monetary

www.asianovel.com
124

reward, but for the point reward.

This was an agreement Azure Water School and the Mercenary Trading
Union had made with each other. The students earn points for a chance
to cultivate in the cultivation padoga, and the monetary reward they
earn is given to fund the school and make it stronger.

Students enrolling in Azure Water School didn’t need to pay anything, so


by doing this, it would ease the financial burdens on the school. This
way, both sides got benefits.

The students also had no objections about this.

The Mercenary Trading Union stood out in Azure Water City. As soon as
Baili Hongzhuang saw the glaze roofed building, she knew it was the
trading union.

The Mercenary Trading Union’s summit was in the shape of a triangle.


Rays of dazzlingly bright sunlight reflected brilliantly off of the glazed
roof tiles. This pyramid also showed the Mercenary Trading Union’s
ranks.

By completing a certain amount of missions, mercenaries can raise their


ranks. The higher the rank, the fewer mercenaries there were.

The ranks were ordered as yellow, green, blue, purple, and red. 5
distinct ranks. Yellow was at the bottom, and red at the top.

When Baili Hongzhaung entered the trade union, a burst of noise


attacked her, filling her ears.

www.asianovel.com
125

Chapter 240

Chapter 240
Chapter 240

In front of them, almost all of the mercenaries were males. Amongst


them, although there was no lack of students, there were still more big,
rough, men.

Scars were faintly visible on their skin. Thier lives were lived standing on
the edge of the blade and could possibly die at any time, so they all
cared deeply about this time to enjoy the pleasures of life.

Baili Hongzhuang wasn’t at all unfamiliar with that. In her past life, she
had already seen many others like that.

The guild hall was very big, but since so many people were inside, it
appeared to be very narrow.

Various tasks and missions were hung up on the wall, waiting for
somebody to choose them.

Ther was already a long line at the front desk. If somebody were to ask
where the busiest place in Azure Water City was, the answer would
undoubtedly be the Mercenary Trading Union.

Just as Baili Hongzhuang lined up, she suddenly felt somebody staring at
her. Baili Hongzhuang frowned and turned in the direction of the stare, a
trace of disgust floating past her eyes.

www.asianovel.com
126

The person who was staring at her so loathingly wasn’t a stranger, but
the revenge and hatred filled Liu Jingkun!

On the life and death stage, Dai Zhiman had died under her hands. Liu
Jingkun liked Dai Zhiman and seemed to hate her to his bones.

“Baili Hongzhuang, I didn’t expect that you’d still dare to go to Azure


Water School. I really admire your courage!”

Liu Jingkun’s face was gloomy and cold as he stared at Baili Hongzhuang
cruelty.

Baili Hongzhuang killed his long beloved Dai Zhiman. He needed to get
revenge!

Baili Hongzhuang’s face was apathetic, indifferently glancing at Liu


Jingkun, “Even you dared to come, so don’t tell me that…… you think I’d
be afraid?”

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang’s taunt, Liu Jingkun’s face grew even colder,
“Since you’ve come to Azure Water School, your only ending is death.”

“Haha.” Baili Hongzhuang sneered and crossed her hands over her
chest, her face filled with ridicule, “Liu Jingkun, do you really think I’d be
scared of your meager strength?”

In a flash, Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes turned cold, “If you don’t want to die,
scram! Otherwise, I won’t be responsible for the consequences!”

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang not giving him any face, Liu Jingkun’s face
turned extremely ugly.

He was only a little bit stronger than Dai Zhiman. Since Baili
Hongzhuang could kill Dai Zhiman, she could probably kill him as well.

So, he didn’t dare to confront Baili Hongzhuang directly.

“Baili Hongzhuang, Dai Zhiman is Dai Yunyang’s little sister. Now that
you’ve killed Dai Zhiman, Dai Yunyang absolutely will not let you off!”
Liu Jingkun’s face was sinister, his voice icy.

www.asianovel.com
127

Although Dai Yunyang wasn’t a special enrollment student, he made a


big jump in his cultivation after joining Azure Water School and so was
allowed to cultivate alongside the special enrollment students.

Within two years, Dai Yunyang managed to earn an extremely well-


known reputation at Azure Water School. But right now, he was still
gaining experience in the outside world.

As long as he came back, he definitely wouldn’t let Baili Hongzhuang slip


by.

“You don’t have to worry about my matters.” Baili Hongzhuang’s face


was indifferent and didn’t change in the slightest after hearing Liu
Jingkun’s words, “Now, scram!”

Liu Jingkun glared resentfully at Baili Hongzhuang before angrily leaving


the Mercenary Trade Union.

Baili Hongzhuang frowned as Liu Jingkun left. She actually had no idea
that Dai Zhiman actually still had such an older brother.

Seems like another unavoidable annoyance was coming her way.

But different situations call for different actions. She, Baili Hongzhaung,
never regrets the things she’d done!

The Mercenary Trade Union was currently very noisy. Even if some sort
of conflict erupted between Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Jingkun, no one
would’ve noticed.

Pangyun Xiang was choosing a mission at the Mercenary Trade Union


when he suddenly saw Liu Jingkun and a woman arguing. At the same
time, he heard Liu Jingkun say that Dai Yunyang would never let her off!
A light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

www.asianovel.com
128

Chapter 241

Chapter 241
Chapter 241

Dai Yunyang was a very influential figure in Azure Water School, so


many students wanted to form a good relationship with him.

Dai Yunyang was the General’s son. His future is limitless.

Whenever Dai Yunyang’s followers went out with him to accept missions,
they always gained a lot of points as well. After 2 years, their originally
mediocre achievements and cultivation had made a huge improvement.

He had already stayed in Azure Water School for 2 years before going
out to learn through experience. Today, he had just returned to Azure
Water City.

Since then, he had always looked for a way to get close to Dai Yunyang.
If he could become one of his followers, there were a lot of benefits to be
reaped. unfortunately, there was no chance.

He didn’t expect an oppertunity would arise in front of him today!

Since this woman and Dai Yunyang weren’t on good terms, if he helps
him deal with this women, Dai Yunyang would definitely like him!

Then, how couldn’t he have a meteoric rise?

Baili Hongzhuang stood in line. Although it was long, the Mercenary


Trade Union was also very efficient.

Time passed quickly and soon, it was her turn.

www.asianovel.com
129

Just as she was about to speak to the young woman at the counter, a
figure suddenly butted in front of her.

Baili Hongzhuang frowned. Cutting in line?

You could cut in line any time, but why did this guy wait for her to come
up before cutting? Was this guy looking down on her strength, or
purposefully trying to start a fight?

“I said, you aren’t allowed to cut in line.” Baili Hongzhuang’s voice was
cold like ice, speaking slowly.

When Pangyun Xiang turned to see Baili Hongzhuang’s appearence, his


eyes changed a little. When did Azure Water School get such a beauty?

With such beauty, she didn’t lose to the no.1 beauty, Liu Qinyue in the
least.

But just as that thought popped into Pangyun Xiang’s head, it was
instantly erased. Right now, the most important thing was strength!

As for women, after he’s stronger, there’d be no lack of women flocking


at him.

“I am cutting in line, what can you do about it?”

Pangyun Xiang’s face suddenly revealed a rogue like smile. Even though
he wanted to curry favor with Dai Yunyang, he couldn’t make it too
obvious.

“Get lost. Now.” Baili Hongzhuang said icily.

The scene slowly attracted everyone’s attention. Fights from cutting in


line wasn’t at all unfamiliar.

All of them lived on the edge of their blades. Their temperaments were
far more violent than an ordinary person’s.

Cutting in line, if you were strong, others couldn’t say a thing. But if you
were weak, you could only be taught a lesson.

www.asianovel.com
130

This commonly seen situation was something everybody loved to watch.

This neighborhood belonged to a group of people who loved to watch


the world be in chaos and interesting shows, so naturally something like
this was very well received by them.

Pangyun Xiang actually didn’t expect for Baili Hongzhuang to be so


arrogant, speaking such words without even knowing his strength.

“You dare to tell me to get lost?” Pangyun Xiang raised his voice, “It
looks like you’re a student from Azure Water School.”

“New born calves truly don’t fear the tiger ah. I’ve studeied at Azure
Water School for 2 years. I’ve seen many new students like you!”

His voice dropped, a trace of pride appearing in Pangyun Xiang’s eyes.

He believed that after Baili Hongzhuang knew that he was a senior of


Azure Water School, she would definitely become panicked.

But Pangyun Xiang was disappointed.

Baili Hongzhuang still looked as tranquil as a passing cloud. Not only was
she not the least bit panicked, she even seemed a bit mocking.

“So?”

Baili Hongzhuang raised her brows as the corners of her mouth


stretched into a contemptuous smile. There really was a lot of people
looking for trouble with her today.

www.asianovel.com
131

Chapter 242

Chapter 242
Chapter 242

Looking at Baili Hongzhuang’s, Pangyun Xiang grew a bit irritated. Why


didn’t this woman follow common sense?

Sensing the surrounding mercenaries’ mocking stares, he knew he


absolutely couldn’t lose face and immediately ordered coldly, “Kowtow
to me in apology right now. Otherwise, you’ll have to take the
consequences!

“Kowtow in apology?” Baili Hongzhuang’s face suddenly turned icy, her


expression sharp as a knife. Together, it seemed to shoot at Pangyun
Xiang like lightning, “You think you’re worthy?

The simple question made Pangyun Xiang’s eyes light with rage.

For a long time now, other cultivators in the same grade as him would
always look at him in contempt. Now, even a new student dared to?

“You’re courting death!”

Spirit power surged in Pangyun Xiang’s body, his tightly clenched fist
shooting at Baili Hongzhuang ruthlessly without the slightest hesitation!

Seeing this scene, the other mercenaries eyes twinkled with excitement.
They didn’t expect for such a good show to watch today.

It seems like the beauty was out of luck. Pangyun Xiang’s strength had
reached the middle stage of Mysterious Eon!

www.asianovel.com
132

But the instant Pangyun Xiang’s fist was about to hit Baili Hongzhuang,
she suddenly moved, her hand directly gripping onto Pangyun Xiang’s
wrist, preventing him from attacking any further.

“Pa!”

A resounding snap echoed through the lobby. In this split second, time
seemed to have frozen.

Pangyun Xiang felt a burst of scorching hot pain. But what hurt most
wasn’t his face, but his heart!

Everyone’s eyes widened. This was really past their expectations.

They hadn’t thought that this peerlessly beautiful lady was actually so
strong. Not only that, but even her temperament was domineering!

One move, as fast as lightning!

Before they could react, Baili Hongzhaung had already strongly slapped
Pangyun Xiang!

In a flash, Baili Hongzhuang’s leg suddenly lashed out. Pangyun Xiang


had no time to defend himself and was sent flying a few meters away.

Baili Hongzhuang looked down at Pangyun Xiang, her eyes cold and
ruthless. “Wherever you scram off to, don’t let me see you again.
Otherwise, see if I won’t break you into pieces!”

Pangyun Xiang stared at Baili Hongzhuang in a daze. When they had


fought earlier, he had clearly sensed that Baili Hongzhuang was at the
middle stage of Mysterious Eon!

How was this possible!

How could a newly enrolled student from Azure Water School possibly be
at the middle stage of Mysterious Eon!

“Wow!”

A voice and whistle broke the silence. The mercenaries stared at Baili

www.asianovel.com
133

Hongzhaung, their eyes filled with interest. This beauty really made the
heart race, ah.

“Useless coward, why don’t you go scram and play in the mud!”

“Don’t come out to be a disgrace again!”

Everyone sneered, taking the initiative to taunt him. This guy who had
just been taught a lesson really was too disgusting.

The sarcastic ridicule fell into Pangyun Xiang’s ears, making his already
dark face even darker. He could only fiercely shout: “When Dai Yunyang
comes back, you’ll definitely die an ugly death!”

Hearing his words, Baili Hongzhuang sneered, “So you’re Dai Yunyang’s
dog.”

He was wondering why this guy seemed to be picking a fight with her
and it turns out that he was trying to look for trouble with her in Dai
Yunyang’s place.

“I don’t know if my death will be ugly or not, but if you stay for one more
second, I can guarantee that your death will be very ugly!”

Pangyun Xiang’s face immediately changed, not daring to linger any


longer and immediately tried frantically to escape the Mercenary
Trading Union.

From Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes, he knew that if he really didn’t leave


right then and there, Baili Hongzhuang really would have killed him!

Chapter 243
Chapter 223

Everyone sighed as their thoughts curiously wandered to Baili


Hongzhuang. With such good looks and amazing strength, how couldn’t
she attract attention?

After what had happened, nobody else dared to disturb Baili


Hongzhuang.

Baili Hongzhuang smoothly registered as a mercenary and left the trade


union.

Seeing the yellow mercenary medal in her hands, Baili Hongzhuang’s


lips curled into a faint smile.

She was looking forward to this new mercenary life.

After she was finished her business, she didn’t directly leave but instead
stayed in the city to buy some stuff she might need for the missions.

Living in the mountains was far different from living at home, it was a
place where anything could happen. She needed to take the initiative to
buy some things and prepare for a possible period of want or need.

From Dongfang Yu’s words, she knew that they’d start very soon.

Fighting demonic beasts were the fastest way to improve their strength!

After Baili Hongzhuang returned to her room, she began to concoct


some pills. Who knew what could happen during the mercenary

www.asianovel.com
135

missions, it was better to prepare some pills beforehand.

The most important pill was the Returning Qi Pill. At their current
strength, the amount of spirit power in their dantian was too small.

If they ran into a dangerous situation and all the spirit power in their
dantian was already exhausted, they would quickly fall into extremely
dangerous circumstances.

Returning Qi Pills were Azure Water City’s best selling pill, but its price
was rather expensive. Most cultivators had no way to afford it.

Returning Qi Pills were first rate pills but for Baili Hongzhuang, a pill
master, it wasn’t hard at all for her to refine them.

Right now, she was already a second-grade pill master. There was still a
gap between becoming a third-grade pill master, so making more
immortality pills was very beneficial for her.

Baili Hongzhuang removed all possible distractions and focused single-


heartedly on refining the pills.

Cocoting immortality pills was a very delicate thing. It needed you to


centralize your spirit power and pay careful attention to every tiny
change to the ingredients. IF there was the slightest problem, it would
fail.

The room was extremely quiet. Apart from the occasional crackling of
the furnace from the pill ingredients, there was nothing else.

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes were serious as she poured her spirit power
into the furnace, tightly watching over everything that happened inside.

Time slowly passed by. A ‘bang!’ sound could be heard as Baili


Hongzhuang opened the pill furnace. Inside, a perfectly round, plump pill
could be seen.

The beautiful and secluded, fascinating pill fragrance pervaded the air.
Just smelling it was already enough to sense the abundant spirit power
inside.

www.asianovel.com
136

Baili Hongzhunag directly loaded the pill into the porcelain bottle and
took out another batch of ingredients before once again beginning to
refine them……

The next day, Xia Zhiqing came to look for Baili Hongzhuang. When she
saw Baili Hongzhuang concocting the pills, her smooth and round,
adorable face was astonished, “Hongzhuang, you can also even refine
pills?”

Baili Hongzhuang nodded faintly, “A bit.”

“Really awesome!”

Xia Zhiqing’s heart sighed. The conditions to becoming a pill master


were very strict, something ordinary people were simply incapable of
accomplishing. This was also why pill masters were looked so highly
upon.

Baili Hongzhuang was already so strong, and on top of that, she was
actually also a pill master. It really makes her shocked, ah.

But since Baili Hongzhuang had such high achievements with her
cultivation, her pill refining skills probably weren’t that good.

After all, a person’s energy was limited, and could only empathize one
field.

“Oh, that’s right, Azure Water City has a pill master guild. If you want to
turn into a first-grade pill master, you can go take the pill master
examination there.” Xia Zhiqing smiled.

www.asianovel.com
137

Chapter 244

Chapter 244
Chapter 244

Baili Hongzhuang raised her brows, her phoenix eyes flashing. She
actually had no idea that there was something like a pill master guild.

After 1000 years, many new organizations and guilds have popped up in
Shengxuan, but…… authentication doesn’t sound too bad.

“I heard that Liu Qinyue is also a pill master and not only is she very
good at concocting pills but even recently passed the 2nd-grade pill
master examination, causing many more men to admire her even more.

Liu Qinyue really has the skills worthy of being looked upon so highly by
Azure Water School. She relied on her own power to become a special
enrollment student, and is even a second-grade pill master, really
great.”

Her beautiful, fresh and cute face sighed with emotion. Although Liu
Qinyue’s behavior wasn’t at all cold, her strength truly was admirable.

Baili Hongzhuang’s ink black pupils seem to twinkle with stars as her lips
stretched into a bewitchingly beautiful smile, “Azure Water School’s no.1
beauty really has both looks and power.”

At Liu Qinyue’s age, to become a second-grade pill master, her potential


was truly breath-taking.

“But it doesn’t matter.” Xia Zhiqing sat beside Baili Hongzhuang, a smile
on her small and delicate face, “I believe that with you, Hongzhuang’s

www.asianovel.com
138

ability, you can definitely overtake Liu Qinyue!”

“Go for it! I believe in you!”

Xia Zhiqing raised her tiny fists, animatedly conveying her trust in Baili
Hongzhuang.

Seeing Xia Zhiqing’s high expectations for her, Baili Hongzhuang


couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ll go for it then.”

Getting Baili Hongzhuang’s assurance, Xia Zhiqing’s smile grew even


bigger. But it then fell in a flash.

“Special enrollment students are so good. I heard that you’re going out
to learn through experience tomorrow, to complete mercenary
missions?”

Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, “Right.”

“Really enviable. I have to cultivate peacefully along with everyone in


the class. I wanna go out and kill, kill, kill!”

Baili Hongzhuang’s lips hooked into a bright smile. Xia Zhiqing’s


adorable face really didn’t match with her violent temperament.

“It won’t be long until you can start accepting missions too, so right now,
cultivate properly.”

Mercenary missions were often very dangerous, so you needed to have


enough strength if you wanted to carry it out.

Ordinary students weren’t strong enough, so Azure Water School


arranged for them to first train and cultivate to improve their strength
before organizing their missions once they were strong enough.

“I’ll definitely try hard to improve my strength so, in the future, you
must train with me!”

“I’m waiting!”

“After you set off and take care of yourself, I’ll wait for you to come back

www.asianovel.com

in the courtyard.”

“Alright.”

……

It was early morning. The sun slowly rose along the horizon, the first
rays of sun splitting through the clouds to land on the earth.

Baili Hongzhuang stopped cultivating and finished tidying up her things


before leaving the room.

Dongfang Yu and the rest also came down from upstairs. Soon, everyone
gathered outside the dormitory.

Bai Junyu and Cui Haoyan had also come out. Today, their teams would
start their missions.

Cui Haoyan stared at Gong Shaoqing, “Gong Shaoqing, why don’t we


have another competition again?” ”

The last time their two teams had a competition, they had lost by a
meager amount. This time, they were going to turn the tables!

Gong Shaoqing’s face still held that unshakable indifference, his pitch
black pupils deep and reserved. “Fine.”

www.asianovel.com

Chapter 245

Chapter 245
Chapter 245

“How are we competing?” Dongfang Yu smiled a casual, calm smile. He


was also very interested in his suggestion.

“This time our main focus is showing the new students how to complete
missions. We’ll do it on who can complete the mission the fastest. But
when fighting the demonic beasts, we seniors cannot intervene. How
about it?” Cui Haoyan proposed.

Dongfang Yu turned to stare at Baili Hongzhuang, “Hongzhuang, what do


you think?”

“This time our mission is to kill Armored Rhinoceros and take its skin.”

Armored Rinoceres were at the middle stage of Mysterious Eon, the


same as Baili Hongzhuang.

Demonic beasts had more natural strength and defense so wanting to


defeat it while at the same cultivation level wasn’t very easy.

“No problem.”

Baili Hongzhuang’s voice was crisp and sweet, replying without the
slightest hesitation.

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang’s blunt reply, a trace of a smile appeared in Cui


Haoyan’s eyes.

www.asianovel.com
141

New students always underestimated the strength of a demonic beast.


Especially Baili Hongzhuang, who only registered as a mercenary after
coming to Azure Water School. Wanting to handle Armored rhinoceros
really wasn’t an easy thing to do.

“Our mission is to kill Stonecat Beasts. Their strength is very close to


Armored Rhinos.”

Cui Haoyan looked at Bai Junyu. This was something he suddenly


suggested so he hadn’t said anything to Bai Junyu beforehand.

“I also have no problems.”

His fresh and elegant, handsome face had a bright, sunny smile. Bai
Junyu grinned widely, exposing straight, white teeth.

This was a chance to demonstrate his strength. If he refused, there


wouldn’t be any more opportunities to properly assimilate into the team.

So he couldn’t refuse, and neither did he want to refuse.

A trace of satisfaction appeared in Cui Haoyan’s eyes, “So then, the


competition is set.”

Zhanyun Feng’s face turned interested as he proposed, “Since it’s a


competition, how about we spice things up a bit?”

“Speak.”

Gong Shaoqing’s face was emotionless as he stared at Zhanyun Feng.


His solid, handsome face emitted confidence.

He still cherished words like gold, but that simple word was filled with
haughtiness and arrogance as if his victory was already won.

Zhanyun Feng seemed to understand Gong Shaoqing’s temperament


and didn’t take his rude word to heart.

“The winning team will get both teams accumulated points, and…… us
senior students will all put forward 500 gold coins into the wager, how
about it?”

www.asianovel.com
142

Zhanyun Feng’s lips rose slightly, her beautiful face filled with interest
and heroic spirit. This kind of competition aroused their competitive
spirits the most.

Although they didn’t know Baili Hongzhuang’s strength, Bai Junyu was at
the late stage of Mysterious Eon. His talent was outstanding even
amongst all the previous special enrollment students.

“Okay.”

Gong Shaoqing never had the slightest bit of hesitation, his voice
confident and steady.

When Gong Shaoqing made the decision, Dongfang Yu and Liu Qinyue
didn’t give the least bit doubt. There was clearly already a tacit
understanding between the 3.

Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows. She actually didn’t know Gong
Shaoqing had such confidence in her.

From Little Black and Little White’s mouths, she already knew that Bai
Junyu was at the late stage of Mysterious Eon, one level above hers.

Dealing with Armored Rhinos at the middle stage of Mysterious Eon


wasn’t easy at all, but killing Stonecat Beasts at the late stage was far
less of a challenge.

This simply wasn’t a fair competition.

Although she didn’t exactly know how much 500 points were worth, from
Zhanyun Feng’s attitude, she knew that it wasn’t a small amount.

www.asianovel.com
143

Chapter 246

Chapter 246
Chapter 246

Except for her, the other three took out 500 points, totaling up to 1500
points. In addition to the points gained from the mission, the bet wasn’t
small at all.

“Then…. Let us separate here, we shall meet again after the mission is
completed.”

Cui Haoyan’s gaze was resplendent, his handsome yet determined face
overflowing with complete confidence.

In this competition, it’d definitely be his victory.

Luoyun Moutain Range was located behind Azure Water School, in


between Feng Bo Country and Clear Flame Country. It was like a natural
moat separating the two kingdoms.

Azure Water School was also located in between the two kingdoms. As a
result, the school was filled with students from those countries, as well
as students from the other kingdoms and countries.

The Luoyun Mountain range could be said to be the biggest mountain


range of Feng Bo Country, having great coverage. Even mercenaries
would barely enter its outskirts.

After countless years of nourishment, the ancient forest was towering


and exuberant, with demonic beasts running rampant within.

www.asianovel.com
144

Although there was danger everywhere, in the eyes of cultivators, the


forest was only a place filled with opportunities.

Cui Haoyan waited till everyone separated, then Dong Fang Yu’s peach
blossom shaped eyes rose slightly. His handsome and incomparable face
was full of doubt and confusion.

Dongfang Yu’s voice was gentle and mellow, confident but resolute.

This was never a fair competition, they never promised it’d be.

However, the most important thing was that this action of theirs would
greatly increase the pressure on Baili Hongzhuang.

“Cui Haoyan wishes to regain some face, give him a chance alright?”

Gong Shaoqing’s face was indifferent and uncaring, “Even if I didn’t


agree today, he would continue bothering me. It’s too much trouble.”

Too much trouble!

He just didn’t like the trouble!


It wasn’t because he had confidence in Baili Hongzhuang’s strength at
all!

Three black lines appeared on Baili Hongzhuang’s forehead. This sort of


iceberg faced guy simply couldn’t be argued with using common sense.

The corner of Dongfang Yu’s mouth curled into an understanding smile.


Sure enough, that was what Gong Shaoqing would think.

However this competition wasn’t just a game to him,

Liu Qinyue’s lips hooked into a soft smile as she turned to explain to Baili
Hongzhuang, “Gong dage is just afraid he would be troublesome.”

A beautiful smile blossomed on her bright, dainty face, just like a


blooming flower. Bright, colorful, and moving.

It was a simple sentence, however, the meaning was extremely clear.

It might have been extremely faint, but Baili Hongzhuang was able to

www.asianovel.com
145

perceive the hidden meaning deep within.

Evidently, Liu Qingyue admired Gong Shaoqing, because when she


spoke she had a somewhat strange tone of expectation.

Could it be that…… she considered her as a rival?

In the moment that this thought appeared, the corner of Baili


Hongzhuang’s mouth tugged up. She was indeed a funny person.

Whether it be appearance or strength, Dibei Chen had them both. Even


though they were only working together for now, but just based on
appearances they were a married couple.

Baili Hongzhuang’s phoenix shaped eyes raised in thought, spending a


few moments thinking and in concern.

That unmatched man, who knows how he’s doing……

That honorable status of his, because of his health, had degraded into
becoming the prince of Feng Bo Country. Now that he returned to take it
all back, she was afraid that it wouldn’t be easy at all.

A bewitching, sly smile appeared in front of Baili Hongzhuang. The


corners of her lips also rose into a slight smile.

“Baili Hongzhuang, we hope the bet won’t give you any psychological
burdens. It’s just that there have always been some contradictions
between us and Cui Haoyan, so don’t worry about it.”

Chapter 247

Dongfang Yu’s brilliant, starry eyes were gentle to the point that they
seemed wet, his voice deep yet graceful, appearing as if he was worried
and comforting her.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded lightly, “I understand.”

This was Gong Shaoqing and Cui Haoyan’s competition, her being able
to help should already be giving Gong Shaoqing face.

And as for who wins and loses, she was just simply unrelated to it.

However.

She never liked losing!

“Stupid woman, if you lose the competition, all you have to do is admit
that you’re a stupid woman.”

Gong Shaoqing spoke apathetically, his gaze staring ahead, just like an
exotic calling out, that was how he spoke, really don’t know who he’s
talking to.

What a mannerless bastard!

Each and every action of this bastard was stained with the stench of
arrogance and disdain. It was a stench that originated from the depths

www.asianovel.com
147

of his character.

“Seems like I’ve won already, so why don’t you admit you’re an idiot?”

His clear, yet crafty eyes were filled with ridicule. Even though the words
Gong Shaoqing said were not arrogant at all, she could hear the hidden
consolation inside his words.

Basically what he meant was: She lost the competition, but she doesn’t
need to care about it. All she had to was admit she was an idiotic woman
and that’s all.

In fact, whether she admitted it or not, Gong Shaoqing would still call her
by that.

If the situation is like this, then to her, there was no difference in either
option.

Gong Shaoqing coldly glanced at the quiet Baili Hongzhuang and then
continued walking forward.

The corner of her mouth curled into a teasing smile. It seems like this
bastard wasn’t all that repulsive. When she was bored, she could just
tease this facial nerve paralysis bastard for an interesting reaction.

Baili Hongzhuang’s crafty charm was seen by Dongfang Yu. His peach
blossom shaped eyes fluttered about, a bright smile on his face.

The entrance to the Falling Clouds Mountain Range was not far at all
from the Azure Water School because there would normally be a lot of
Azure Water School students entering the range to complete missions.
So, it was very close.

Both the east and west sides have one entrance, the entrance that Baili
Hongzhuang and company arrived at was the east entrance. On the
other hand, Bai Junyu and his team entered the west entrance.

By noon, they had arrived at the entrance to the Falling Clouds Mountain
Range.

www.asianovel.com
148

Originally, this was just a normal entrance, but as the number of people
traveling through here increased, it eventually evolved into a small
town. It sold all kinds of things cultivators might need.

At the same time, there were merchants who’d come here to buy
demonic beast hides. Everyone here lived lives in contact with demonic
beasts.

Gong Shaoqing and his company of three was clearly a frequent visitor
to the Fallen Clouds Mountain Range. When they arrived, there was a
multitude of envious yet admiring gazes upon them as they traveled
down the street.

However, there were even more gazes on Baili Hongzhuang.

“Since when did Gong Shaoqing’s group include another woman? And
her looks didn’t lose to Liu Qinyue at all.”

“Could it be one of Azure Water School’s new special enrollment


students?”

“I didn’t think that the special enrollment students had not only great
strength but even beauty.”

“If we’re able to become Azure Water School students……. How


wonderful would that be?”

Baili Hongzhuang’s line of sight swept over the crowd. No wonder Dai
Zhiman acted with such haughtiness.

This identity alone was enough to attract the envy of thousands.

“Have you already prepared everything you need? Do you need to buy
anything here?” Dongfang Yu had a smiling expression upon his face as
he gently looked at Baili Hongzhuang.

“No need, I’ve got everything I need.”

“Lets first go to the inn and eat before changing into more durable
clothing.”

Chapter 248

There were many inns near the entrance. Many cultivators would first
rest here for a night, and after they recovered their strengths, they
would head into Luo Yun Mountain.

There were also drained cultivators who came back from Luo Yun
Mountain that stayed at the inns. They would wait until they had
recovered before leaving.

Because it was a competition, Baili Hongzhuang’s group clearly wouldn’t


waste their time here.

After they ate a simple meal, the four people changed into simple
combat clothes.

Inside the mountain, there were thorns growing everywhere. Normal


long robes and clothing could easily get caught on them, which would
greatly reduce their combative abilities.

The moment that Baili Hongzhuang came out dressed, everyone’s eyes
seemed to flash with stunning colors.

They only see Baili Hongzhuang wearing a suit of skintight, bright red,
combat clothing. It revealed the perfection of her body without exposing
anything.

The bright and fresh colors paired with her beautiful face made her very
alluring and charming. Her brows revealed a trace of heroic spirit and

www.asianovel.com
151

perseverance, making her seem even more pleasing to the eye.

Her black phoenix eyes shined with light, showing her vigor and
determination.

The Baili Hongzhuang dressed up in the uniform made Dongfang Yu and


others can’t help but feel as though they were looking at an illusion.

The her like this emitted a dangerous but flirtatious charm, making
people unable to take their eyes off of her.

Even the cold Gong Shaoqing showed a slight change in his expression.
However, he recovered quickly, and no one noticed anything.

Liu Qinyue’s soft and gentle eyes flashed with amazement. Baili
Hongzhuang in her combat uniform seemed so different from when she
was in her usual outfit.

In white clothing she looked pure; in red clothing, she looked charming.
When worn by Baili Hongzhuang, the two supposedly different styles
seemed to fit together perfectly.

Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes swept over the other three’s outfits. Gong
Shaoqing was wearing a black combat uniform. His handsome face was
cold and expressionless. His eyes were as cold as ice. His hooked nose
also added a few points of sharpness to his features

Dongfang Yu was wearing a light blue combat uniform. His temperament


was kinda gentle and he looked elegant and charming.

Liu Qinyue was wearing a hibiscus pink combat uniform. With a water
like temperament, she seemed perfect. Even if she was wearing combat
uniform, she was still beautiful and charming.

After everyone had changed into their battle uniforms, it made them
look less soft and tougher, more like cultivators from Azure Water
School.

“Let’s go.”

www.asianovel.com
152

Gong Shaoqin nonchalantly said. His coldness seems to emit from his
bones.

Even if he is facing familiar teammates, his voice still carried coldness.

With that, the four people headed towards Luo Yun Mountain. Along the
way, they encountered many mercenaries and people here for training.

Originally Lou Yu Mountain didn’t have an entrance. It’s only because


there are multiple people going through the same route, so multiple
entrances then appeared.

The entrances were usually taken by human cultivators, so there were


usually no demonic beasts that appear. One would only run into those
demonic beasts deep in the mountain.

As Dongfang Yu was walking, he was also explaining things to Baili


Hongzhuang. Since this the first time that Baili Hongzhuang registered
for mercenaries, then this should also be her first time coming to Luo
Yun Mountain.

Baili Hongzhuang listened to Dongfang Yu’s explanation. This basic


knowledge was not foreign to her. However she was now the Baili
Hongzhuang of Feng Bo Country, so she naturally had to make it seem
more real.

Liu Qinyue and Gong Shaoqing were walking in front while Baili
Hongzhuang and Dongfang Yu were behind them. During the journey,
there only seemed to be Baili Hongzhuang and Dongfang Yu’s voices.

As the four people slowly headed deeper into the mountain, a number of
cultivators they encountered decreased. Finally, it was only the four of
them walking in the mountain.

Chapter 249

The towering trees seemed to be high enough to touch the clouds. The
warm sun shone through the gaps of the leaves only leaving a little bit of
light. It can be seen that Luo Yun Mountain has a lot of history.

Suddenly a subtle sound caught Baili Hongzhuang and the other’s


attention.

“Be careful!”

That handsome and cold face showed traces of alertness and


cautiousness. Gong Shaoqing observed his surroundings carefully. There
must be some type of demonic beast around.

Swish!

There was a subtle sound, but they only saw a shadow flash by. The
sword in Gong Shaoqing’s hand moved as fast as lightning. A Lightning
Racoon had been killed by his sword.

Lightning Racoon was at Mysterious Eon late stage. It was small in size,
quick in action, and had the speed of lightning. Their specialties were
sneak attacks, usually leaving their opponents unable to prevent them.

Gong Shaoqin grabbed his sword and the demonic beast’s crystal. Then
he turned around and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

www.asianovel.com
154

Baili Hongzhuang’s brows lowered slightly. Gong Shaoqing really was


worthy of the title of Asure Water school’s number one student. The
keen observation skills and incredible strength made people unable to
find any flaws in him.

“When walking inside of Luo Yun Mountain, you can be attacked anytime
by demonic beasts. That is why you must pay attention and concentrate
on your surroundings. A careless person can easily lose their life here.”
reminded Dongfang Yu

Along the way, Baili Hongzhuang’s group ran into many demonic beasts.
Gong Shaoqing, Dongfang Yu, and Liu Qinyue all took turns handling
them.

In between fights, Dongfang Yu would also carefully inform Baili


Hongzhuang on each demonic beast’s weakness and things to keep in
mind when battling them.

Baili Hongzhuang realized the demonic beasts here and the demonic
beasts thousands of years in the past had a huge difference.

After these thousands of years, these demonic beasts had evolved quite
a lot. They had become smarter and were much harder to deal with than
before.

After all this time, the Mysterious Continent has already divided all kinds
of demonic beasts into a clear system. Now, humans were very familiar
with these demonic beasts.

However, from what Baili Hongzhuang learned from Dongfang Yu, many
demonic beasts gradually disappeared throughout the long history of the
years.

The demonic beasts that could easily adapt to their surroundings then
became stronger, whereas the weaker demonic beasts got weaker and
eventually became extinct. It could be said that the demonic beasts now
were much stronger than thousands of years before.

The night slowly came around, and dense black clouds soon covered Luo

www.asianovel.com
155

Yun Mountain. This made the already dark mountain to seem even
darker and silent.

The darkness made people unable to see their fingers when the
stretched out their hands. Around them, there were roars of demonic
beasts and sounds of birds and insects.

The whole Luo Yun mountain seems to be covered in fear.

“Crackle”

Baili Hongzhuang and the others were walking inside the mountain. The
sounds of them stepping on leaves and branches could be clearly heard
in this quiet night.

“Let’s go rest in front over there” Gong Shaoqing’s star-bright eyes


seemed like a gem shining in the night. It was truly bright and beautiful.

They had been looking for a dry place to rest. It’s just that before they
were walking through a wetland and only managed to walk out of it now.

Dongfang Yu smiled and nodded his head, “The terrain up ahead is very
high. It is very suitable for resting.”

Soon the four reached the high ground. They waited for Gong Shaoqing
to carefully and cautiously inspect the area. Only after it is confirmed
that there are no demonic beasts anywhere, did they stable themselves
on a sturdy tree to sit down.

Baili Hongzhuang and the others formed a circle and then sat down.
They then start to take out dried food from their bags to eat.

“After this whole day, do you feel tired?” Dongfang Yu’s eyes were soft.
His handsome and caring face revealed a shallow smile, “When
cultivators first participate in training as mercenaries, they will always
be somewhat unused to it.

www.asianovel.com
156

Chapter 250

Chapter 250
Chapter 250

Baili Hongzhuang smiled slightly with her eyes shining brightly, “It’s fine,
I don’t feel tired.”

Compared to the difficult cultivation practices she had gone through


before, walking and running for a whole day was easy. There’s no way
she would feel exhausted from that.

The only problem was that this body’s physical strength wasn’t good
enough. She still needed to train more.

“Oh?” Dongfang Yu’s brows raised up. His peach blossom like eyes
contained surprise and laughter, “I never knew that a General
Household’s Miss can handle so much.”

Dongfang Yu and the others run around outside and play often, so they
are already used to the exhaustion.

Baili Hongzhuang was only a new student at Azure Water School. She
was also a General’s daughter. She most likely has been spoilt and
wasn’t able to handle such hard work.
In fact, Baili Hongzhuang’s behavior was already way better than what
he imagined

How many young girls would throw a fit at the thought of going into the
mountains? Such a scene wasn’t common at all, especially in the

www.asianovel.com
157

common class. They seemed to be everywhere.

Hearing that, Baili Hongzhuang’s lips pulled into a grin a grin, “That’s
because you don’t understand me well enough.”

Children from rich families are usually pampered and spoiled. However,
she was not one of those kids. She’s always lived worse than a pig or
dog.

His peach blossom eyes revealed his confusion. He hadn’t missed the
darkness flickering in Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes. Could there be a story
behind it?

Gong Shaoqing’s eyes flickered and expressionlessly said, “She has not
done anything but walk today. If she can’t even handle that, then she
should not be a cultivator.

The same cold unchanging tone. The same tone looking for a beating.
Baili Hongzhuang coldly glanced at Gong Shaoqing. Not one word from
that guy’s mouth was good.

Dongfang Yu smiled, revealing traces of curiosity, “Our Gong Shaoqing


normally never speak in such long sentences ah.”

“If you say it like that, does that mean that he was giving me face?” Baili
Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows and asked. Her eyes contained a grin.

After getting along for a while, she knew that Gong Shaoqing had a good
heart. It’s just that his words aren’t very pleasant to hear.

Dongfang Yu’s brows lifted lightly. Although he did not speak, his
laughter was very obvious.

Liu Qinyue looked at the scene in front of her. Her gentle and water like
eyes showed traces of tension and anxiousness, but that was quickly
hidden away.

“Hongzhuang, you won’t mind if I call you by that right?” Liu Qinyue
smiled softly. Her voice was like the wind, clear and pleasant to hear.

www.asianovel.com
158

“I don’t mind.” Baili Hong smiled back. Today, Liu Qinyue was walking by
Gong Shaoqin, so they didn’t speak much.

“It’s your first time doing mercenaries, so you are bound to be unused to
it. The next few days will all be like today. If you are unused to it, you
can come talk to me.”

Liu Qinyue’s smile was sweet and beautiful. Her soft looks make her
seem like a kind sister. It let people put down their guards on her.

“Thank you for your concern.” Her bright phoenix eyes flashed with
light, “I’m not one of those pampered kids. Since I have decided to come
here to cultivate, I have already gotten ready to experience hardship.
You guys don’t have to care about me.”

She was not at all new to this, so she didn’t need to receive all this
special care.

The three’s eyes all fell on Baili Hongzhuang. Those dark eyes were calm
and persistent as the sun, glowing brightly.
Dongfang Yu couldn’t help but change the way he saw her. He knew that
what Baili Hongzhuang said was true, not only words of courtesy.

She really didn’t need everyone to see her as a newbie. That kind of firm
and resolute eyes was something he recognized.

The reason was that every cultivator that has gone through tough and
hard practices, would have such eyes. Including Gong Shaoqing…
Including him…
