Chapter 577: She Also Came Borrowing A Sword to Kill
“Hey, brat. Do you really think I don’t dare to make a move? Do you believe it or not when I say I will rip out your mouth?!” yelled Ren Youran as his suppressed anger finally erupted and he looked at Ling Chuxi viciously. He could put aside the fact that the other guardians treated him like this, but when this little brat dared to speak such rude words to him as such, it was truly intolerable.
“Great Mister Ren has such great prestige to actually want to rip my mouth out. However, these words were not originally said by me. It is he who said them. If you have the ability, then go rip out his mouth,” retorted Ling Chuxi as she pointed at Xie Wuji.
“You, you!” Ren Youran was so angry that he was trembling. He could simply scold Ling Chuxi with some of these words and forget about it, how could he dare say the same to a guardian of a country? He also knew that his words earlier on had also been a little too over the top, so he forcefully suppressed his anger and no longer dared to open his mouth to scold Ling Chuxi further.
“Mister Xie, someone said that you were talking nonsense and so he wants to rip your mouth out.” However, Ling Chuxi had no thoughts of letting Ren Youran off so easily so she shouted out his indiscretion to Xie Wuji.
Xie Wuji’s footsteps halted as he turned around to look at Ren Youran. He could tell that Ling Chuxi’s words were clearly meant to sow discord and that she was using him as a weapon, but Ling Chuxi was not wrong, those words were indeed said by him. Wasn’t Ren Youran saying that he wanted to rip Ling Chuxi’s mouth out for repeating Xie Wuji’s words, equal to saying he wanted to do the same to Xie Wuji?
What identity did he have? He was a country’s guardian. Across all countries, aside from the other guardians, even emperors had to bow and greet him when they encountered him. When had anyone ever dared to say such words to him?
“Mister Xie, I didn’t mean it like that. I was not talking about you,” said Ren Youran as his expression changed and he immediately began clarifying the matter to Xie Wuji.
“Scram!” bellowed Xie Wuji as he casually waved his hand and a surge of qi burst out of his body.
Ren Youran’s chest concaved, and his entire body was sent flying before gorgeously smashing a great hole through one of the brick walls surrounding the courtyard. His whole body was buried under a pile of rubble, leaving only his two legs which were constantly twitching visible.
Ling Chuxi lamented this and touched her own chin with an expression full of worry, but the words she said softly to herself were enough to anger people to death, “Looks like Wu Feng Hall needs to spend some money already. That wall has totally been ruined.” Frankly, at this moment, she felt delight in her heart. Her anger had been vented, oh, how her anger had been vented. It turns out that using someone else’s knife to kill another is more addictive than taking action on your own.
“Can I go in now?” asked Ling Chuxi with a smile as she looked at Feng Zitian.
Feng Zitian subconsciously took a step backwards, all his senses on guard. He was afraid of being a victim of Ling Chuxi’s swift, undetectable poisoning again. Anyway, this was the gathering between the guardians and who they were willing to bring was unrelated to him. There was no need for him to be too nosy. What happened to Ren Youran was a demonstration of this lesson right before his eyes.
“Sharp-tongued brat,” remarked Xie Wuji as he glanced at Ling Chuxi coldly and no longer bothered about anyone further, taking the lead to enter.
“You brat,” sighed Mo Kongyuan, surveying the scene before him, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
“Why does that old man have such a great prejudice against me?” asked Ling Chuxi doubtfully in a whisper.
“Because last time, in the great assessment competition, Shang Yuan Country forfeited and you got first place. He is dissatisfied about that matter in his heart,” replied Mo Kongyuan.
“It was they themselves who forfeited, so what does it have to do with me?” replied Ling Chuxi in disagreement.
“Back then, he was in seclusion and was entirely in the dark about the matter of Shang Yuan forfeiting. After he learnt the truth, of course that he hated Ding Lin Country, but as guardians, we cannot care too much about these worldly matters. He does not find you pleasing to the eye but has no malicious intent towards you, and just merely feels that your abilities do not live up to the name you have made for yourself. He thinks that you won the championship merely because you received an advantage due to Shang Yuan Country’s forfeiture,” said Mo Kongyuan as he laughed bitterly. “However, he has a straightforward and upright character, he’s not a bad person.”
