Chapter 101: Worship
“Aha… Master, could it be that….” gasped the fifth princess in surprise as she blinked at Ling Chuxi. One had to know that Lan Xinyu was a prominent figure in White Stone City. Her family, the Lan’s, were deemed important with a prestigious background. Now that Ling Chuxi had allowed them to keep their reputation, it would be odd if they were not grateful on some level. The question was—how would they show their gratitude?
“It is exactly as you think. The fat goat has been brought for slaughter,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile. Ling Chuxi also enjoyed looking at Lan Xinyu’s red face after her provocation just now. If things ended with Lan Xinyu doing a kowtow to her in front of everyone and left White Stone City, it would also be meaningless. It would create a grudge between her and the Lan family. If the matter affected her alone, she would be fine with it. But there were other people she cared about that could be affected—second elder and Aunt Wang back in Shi Qu Town. She didn’t want to cause them any unnecessary trouble. With this in mind, why not offhandedly sell off a favor and wait for the Lan family to come to her doorstep to be slaughtered in kind.
“Whoa, master. You are truly a genius!” exclaimed the fifth princess as she stared at Ling Chuxi with starry eyes. When many years had come to pass and the fifth princess became a female emperor who was absolutely domineering and who had successfully united the world, she would sigh as she reminisced on her time as Ling Chuxi’s disciple and say that her ascendance to such heights was inseparable from her master’s teaching and nurturing care. It was Ling Chuxi who had taught her how to be a qualified monarch! But of course, all these are matters for later on.
“Say, Chuxi, what you said earlier clearly stated that you wanted to exchange pointers and compete with her in martial arts though,” said Ling Yichen as he furrowed his brow in concern.
“That’s right. I let Lan Xinyu off the hook, but that doesn’t mean I will let her pass through this stage so easily,” sneered Ling Chuxi. “This Lan Xinyu. I will be her number one source of frustration in this lifetime. I will still give her the lesson she needs to learn!”
“Of course. Of course. When you compete in martial arts and exchange pointers, be sure to show her no mercy, master! Defeat her so completely that she cries like a ghost and howls like a wolf!” said the fifth princess triumphantly as she stood aside and happily raised her fist into the air. She had never thought of whether her master was able to defeat Lan Xinyu. In her mind, of course her master was sure to win!
“Word has it that Lan Xinyu has a strong monster beast.” Ling Yichen still had his concerns.
“Isn’t that even better? To be beaten badly by my master even though she has a strong monster beast on her side. That would be even more shameful! Hahaha, I can’t wait to watch the show!” The fifth princess became even more excited after hearing Ling Yichen’s words.
“Don’t worry about it,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile. “Lan Xinyu’s Battle Qi should be at a Level 7 Primary stage. The same as me. However, she is not my match. Even with a monster beast as her mystical pet.”
Ling Yichen stared at Ling Chuxi’s beautiful smiling face which shone with confidence in shock. In that instance, he blanked out for a bit. Battle Qi Level 7! Ling Chuxi was actually at Battle Qi Level 7. She had already surpassed him!
“That would be even more fulfilling. Think about it, master. There weren’t many people around today, but during the exchange of pointers tomorrow, the whole school will be there—all the students and teachers. If Lan Xinyu fights with a monster beast on her side but still isn’t your match, that would be shameful for her, just too shameful.” The fifth princess suddenly felt that her master was really black-bellied. Now that she had allowed Lan Xinyu to save face, she was sure the Lan family would come to her doorstep to show their appreciation. Then, she would defeat Lan Xinyu badly tomorrow. White Stone City’s peerless genius was going to lose, just like that. This was how one gains fame and obtains benefits! Just thinking about it left her feeling extremely happy and satisfied.
Ling Yichen was speechless upon seeing the worship present in the fifth princess’ eyes. The adoration the fifth princess had towards Ling Chuxi had reached a different realm.
Right then, Xia Zhuoyi and Zhong Xingkai came over.
“Fellow student Ling Chuxi, I’d like to thank you for saving Uncle Zhong. I will definitely repay the favors I owe you.” Xia Zhuoyi’s handsome and elegant face was full of tenacity and determination.
