Chapter 423 - Just Violence
“You!” Zhao Haojiang, whom Feng Tianlan implied was a fool, became so angry that his face turned red. He jabbed his finger at the newcomer’s list. “It’s clearly written First-stage Spiritual Grandmaster up there. Are you saying that you managed to break through and become a Spiritual Grandmaster in just a few days?”
Gu Nansheng watched this exchange quietly from the side. She knew about Zhao Haojiang getting beaten up, and now she grew certain about Feng Tianlan’s abilities. However, she had indeed been an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master a few days ago. When could she have made a breakthrough?
Feng Tianlan nodded calmly. “I just became a Spiritual Grandmaster yesterday.”
“…” Zhao Haojiang wanted to snatch the jade tablet Feng Tianlan held and smash it into her skull with his own hands. “You motherf*cker! Yesterday?” She’s treating him like a fool!
Gu Nansheng lifted the wisps of hair hanging in front of her forehead and raised her head to glare at him. “Zhao Haojiang, I dare you to shout one more time.”
“Eldest Senior Sister, not…” Meeting Gu Nansheng’s gaze, the furious Zhao Haojiang was instantly terrified. “Eldest Senior Sister, Feng Tianlan broke my leg and injured ten or more of my junior brothers. Please avenge us!”
Whenever Eldest Senior Sister lifted her hair from her forehead like that, it signaled her desire to beat someone up!
“A First-stage Spiritual Grandmaster—with ten or more Spiritual Masters or higher—bullied a little lady but got beaten up in the end?” Gu Nansheng raised her eyebrows. Was that even possible? She didn’t think it was possible for Feng Tianlan to defeat up to ten attackers at once.
Although it sounded shameful, Zhao Haojiang nodded his head. “Yeah! She even claimed that she was only an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master. This is simply just bullsh*t!”
After saying those words, Zhao Haojiang suddenly flew through the air in a parabola, crash-landing brutally onto the ground in a cloud of dust.
“What are you doing, swearing in front of a little lady like that?” Gu Nansheng calmly retracted her outstretched leg. Then she turned her vicious stare onto Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan looked back at her calmly.
“Why is it you again?” Xu Qiming rushed over after having heard the ruckus. He glared at Feng Tianlan angrily. Why were there always incidents occurring around her?
“Martial Uncle, I’m the one who did this. It has nothing to do with Feng Tianlan.” Gu Nansheng gave Feng Tianlan a resentful stare as she spoke. What a liar she was, cheating her feelings like that!
Feng Tianlan frowned slightly. She didn’t do or say anything but it seemed as though she had offended Gu Nansheng?
Hearing that the cause of the ruckus was Gu Nansheng, Xu Qiming just gave her a look of displeasure and let the matter drop. He turned to Feng Tianlan. “Those who are ranked among the top ten on the newcomer’s list should go up on stage to honor your master.”
When he tested her spiritual force a few days ago, she had been an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master. Did she really manage a breakthrough and become a Spiritual Grandmaster in just a few days?
Xu Qiming couldn’t believe it and tested her again. Her spiritual force was indeed that of a First-stage Spiritual Grandmaster! Moreover, it was the force of a freshly ascended Spiritual Grandmaster.
He couldn’t help but size up Feng Tianlan once more. Maybe, he thought to himself, these few days just happened to be the days where she was having a breakthrough, and it was all a coincidence.
“So, she is Feng Tianlan. Isn’t she the ultimate scum from the South Winds Nation? How did she ascend to the top rank all of a sudden?”
“I saw Eldest Senior Sister give her a Spiritual Crystal. I bet she cheated.”
“I cannot understand Eldest Senior Sister. She is kind and treats everyone well, but a nemesis like Feng Tianlan who is a curse to her parents should still be treated like trash.”
“…”
As Feng Tianlan walked up the stage, the other disciples watched her with hostile stares, discussing among themselves about her ascension up the ranks. How she was ugly and useless and how she caused Tu Xiang to be locked up in the heavenly prison and that became the reason she was attacked.
“Shut up!” Gu Nansheng scolded in a loud voice.
Hearing her admonition, the crowd turned silent. No one dared to say another word.
Feng Tianlan glanced back at Gu Nansheng, not quite understanding their relationship. A moment ago she was calling her a liar, but now she was standing up for her?
