You’re injured by someone?
Nangong Lie seemed as if he’s heard some fairy tale and his entire body perked up to look at Baili Jia Jue’s direction with disbelief.
When had the person known as Ghost Palace’s Third Prince ever been hit?
Even if he’d lost martial qi.
Nobody dared to even make noise in front of him.
It’s not because of any other reason except that this person’s methods were too cruel!
So ruthless that even those people from the four great clans didn’t dare to act without thinking.
Moreover, he knew how to hold a grudge!
He didn’t like to immediately put things in order, but would later slowly make up for it knife by knife!
Those shadow secret guards who tried to assassinate him were a specific example.
Don’t be deceived by how calm and unhurried he seemed when he was at Armament City.
After he returned, he’d visited the palace, merely a visit like that had alarmed the four great clans and eight influential families.
He didn’t say who sent out those secret guards and only said that he’d find the evidence among these people. This made those people totally dumbstruck, but could only look on helplessly as he investigated them one by one.
Each time a family was investigated, a little something would always be revealed.
The leaders of the four great clans had no choice but to spend more money to take care of matters. What they wanted was face, especially for their offsprings. There were some things which, if people in the capitol knew, it’d undoubtedly become the common people’s laughingstock. That would be more unbearable than to suffer a beating.
Right now, none of them dared to visit the brothels, precisely because they feared that Third Prince might be unhappy and directly send people to those beds!
Forget thinking that the Third Prince was as aloof as a god and wouldn’t interfere with these matters!
By this time, there’d already been two elders who were investigated in this way, investigations which traumatized them so much, they could no longer get a hard on no matter who their partner was!
Think about it. Fundamentally, in the midst of happily performing the act was when a man felt ecstasy, also when his guard was down, yet at exactly that moment, a sword suddenly appeared at his head, also with countless numbers of shadow guards motionlessly floating in the air. Even though they haven’t touched a single hair, and they only watched with lingering gazes, merely thinking of this scene was enough. Nangong Lie’s body filled with goosebumps.
That’s why he couldn’t believe that this kind of man would take a beating.
You could kill him and he’d still feel it’s impossible!
There must be something going on!
Based on his understanding of Ah Jue, the guy must be up to something!
Nangong Lie watched his friend’s calm appearance, and was just about to open his mouth, when he was interrupted by Baili Jia Jue.
There were four of them and only one of me, is it strange that I’m injured?
Of course…:
Nangong Lie originally was going to say ‘it’s too strange’, but after he saw the look, his adam’s apple couldn’t help but shake as he stiffly changed his words.
Not strange.
God dmn it, what the heck was this tempo!
Thinking back to that time, this person took a rod and beat back over a hundred big guys.
After he finished beating them up, he even said not to bother him with these matters in the future, not to waste his sleep time, and so on.
And now, four people, and he couldn’t beat them?
Who’d believe those words!
What’s more, his martial qi had already been recovered.
Of course, he didn’t feel like filling himself up with qi, otherwise, he’d only needed to move a finger and those people would be on the ground in a flash, you know? !
What the heck’s he playing at?
Even getting himself injured?
From what Nangong Lie could see, that so-called ‘injury’, was intentional, no matter how he thought about it!
He waited until Wei Wei was in the middle of fetching something, but actually also could no longer hold it in, and asked his friend sitting next to him.
The wound on your face shouldn’t be self inflicted, right?
Playing at hurting himself in order to gain Miss Helian’s sympathy was very much what this kind of two faced guy would do!
No.
Baili Jia Jue put down the porcelain teacup that was in his hand, looking up behind him in an emotionless way.
The fist belonged to someone else.
Nangong Lie deserved to be someone who’d been with Third Prince for a long time and was able to decipher his intent within those few words. The corners of Nangong Lie’s mouth twitched quite a few times. So in other words, he indeed didn’t hit himself, but instead depended on another person’s fist bumping into his face.
Those people shouldn’t have exposed what you’ve done, right?
Nangong Lie smiled.
And when you fought them, they must’ve felt that they had eyes, but could not see. However, relatively speaking, you can no longer play make belief much longer. When the time comes, you’ll still need to move to the Superior Compound. Based on the Inferior Compound’s quality, it won’t be possible to hold off those assassins who incessantly aim for your life.
Yet Baili Jia Jue only smiled a bone piercingly cold smile.
They won’t dare.
Not ‘they won’t succeed’, it’s ‘they won’t dare’!
Apparently, Ah Jue must’ve given his enemies an unforgettable lesson.
Sigh, those pitiful young men. Clearly, there were two targets.
They should’ve chosen anyone else to target, yet they targeted Ah Jue.
Instead of choosing Ah Jue, they would’ve been better off choosing him.
At least, his methods were comparatively milder, and wouldn’t traumatize them!
He reckoned that those young lads must be crying on each other’s shoulders right about now.
Nangong Lie’s guess wasn’t wrong. Those four pampered sons of wealthy families were indeed in so much pain their tears were flowing, yet they didn’t dare to tell Yuan Ling Xuan the truth.
They’re afraid that Yuan Ling Xuan would decide that they’re useless.
Also, they couldn’t tell the truth, because they couldn’t tell Yuan Ling Xuan that the student from the Inferior Compound was awfully strong, so strong he could be as strong as him!
They reckoned that not only would Young Master Yuan be unhappy about this truth, he might even kick them out himself!
Moreover, up until now, they still couldn’t forget that guy’s look.
The kind that came from a cold demon from hell.
They only needed to experience it once to know they had enough, and really didn’t want to provoke that King of Hell again!
That’s why, when they were summoned by Young Master Yuan, most of what they reported were lies!
Originally, the four of us could’ve knocked him down, but we don’t know how Helian Wei Wei got there. We’re afraid that things would get out of hand and the principal will find out. That would affect Young Master Yuan unfavorably, so we quickly brought everything to an end and returned.
Yuan Ling Xuan coldly scanned the injuries on their faces.
These were all inflicted by him?
Yes…..
The four of them looked at each other.
Some were inflicted by Helian Wei Wei.
Yuan Ling Xuan’s brows furrowed.
That good-for-nothing actually has been somewhat surprising lately. However, based on her strength, only people from the Good Compound, like you guys, will lose to her.
Young Master Yuan’s right.
When those four guys’ heads hung down, the muscles in their arms immediately ached. Besides being scared of that guy, they also hid resentment in their hearts.
Young Master Yuan, during the competition, you must make them taste a bit of suffering! They even dared to move against us, clearly they don’t have any respect for Young Master Yuan!
Yuan Ling Xuan wasn’t someone who could be stirred up into anger with merely a few words. However, he already viewed those people from the Inferior Compound unfavorably, such that even his face expressed mockery and disdain.
If they want to compete with me, then they will have to be able to face students from the Superior Compound.
Speaking to this point, he turned around and coldly laughed.
However, they’re merely a few clowns, what do you guys think, do they have the ability?
