Chapter 13

Translated by RHope Edited by RHope

The low-brow and pleasing Steward Liao was about to speak, and suddenly a loud voice came from the top of the stairs.

“New sister? Let me give you a hand.”

Seeing Su ZiShuang’s confused eyes, Steward Liao lowered his voice and said, “Fairy, the one up there is Yue HaiLan, the direct descendant of Master Yue Qin.”

Before Su ZiShuang could reply, she heard a violent shout from upstairs.

“Say something bad about me? Liao Qing, if you think you are still young and don’t want to get beaten up, then get lost to the side for this sister.” Hearing the violent shout from upstairs, Liao Qing’s whole body shivered in fear and raised his eyes, looking at Su ZiShuang with bewilderment.

Su ZiShuang had to wave her hand, and Liao Qing immediately chuckled, and he disappeared after a few breaths. It’s really an exaggeration, could it be that Yue HaiLan upstairs is so terrifying?

Su ZiShuang worries secretly in her heart. In her mind, she has already made up her own assumptions. She has made up that Yue HaiLan into an eight-foot-tall woman who can put horses on her shoulders and stand on her fists, or a giant carnivorous animal that has been extinct on the earth for hundreds of millions of years-Tyrannosaurus Rex!

“Sister quickly come up, let this sister properly introduce you to QingLian Tower.” The voice above was already eagerly greeted.

Su ZiShuang had to move forward with a determination to die, stepping on the staircase built of white jade.

Immediately, Su ZiShuang was taken aback!

Because it was not an eight-foot-tall woman who appeared in front of her, nor was it the ancient creature Tyrannosaurus, but a charming little girl, judging from her stature, she was only about ten years old, wearing aqua-green dress and a with a raven hair in a bun, wrinkled her little nose lightly, stretched out her tender palm, and grabbed Su ZiShuang’s wrist.

“ MeiMei [1] , come into the room with Jie [2] . Both Xiu Qin and Wang Can are there. Jie will introduce you to them.”

[1] 妹妹 /mèi mei – younger sister; young woman

[2] 姐 / jiě – older sister

Yue HaiLan dragged Su ZiShuang into the room as she was familiar. Su ZiShuang frowned slightly but didn’t say much. Yue HaiLan’s palm looked white and tender, but it was like an iron hoop, which firmly locked Su ZiShuang’s wrist. Even if she wants to break away, it is impossible to do so.

The room is very exquisitely decorated, the floor is covered with carpets, the walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings, not only the furniture is very well made, even the window panes above the windows are exquisite cloud brocade satin, which looks silky smooth and supple. And beside the round table in the middle, sat a man and a woman, both are young.

The young man had a round face and looked quite silly, but he was also wearing an excellent satin robe. And that young girl has a mediocre appearance, but with a lazy demeanor, she has a unique style.

“Xiu Qin, Wang Can, this younger sister is a newcomer, and I brought her up when I saw her.” Yue HaiLan said quickly, her voice was really loud, but she was not as delicate as her appearance, no wonder Su ZiShuang would misunderstand when listening to the sound below.

“MeiMei, let me introduce you…” Yue HaiLan said, and suddenly got stuck.

“MeiMei, what’s your name?” Yue HaiLan just remembered that she hasn’t figured out the origin of the other party’s identity.

“My name is Su ZiShuang, I am here for the first time, and I hope the senior sisters and brother can take care of me.” Su ZiShuang simply introduced herself.

However, after Su ZiShuang finished a sentence, Xiu Qin and Wang Can did not respond, making the situation somewhat cold, and Su ZiShuang saw a trace of indifference and reserved in both of their eyes.

“This MeiMei Su was recommended by Senior Uncle Mo. I saw Senior Uncle Mo’s Bishui beast staying outside.” Yue HaiLan said.

And after Yue HaiLan said this, Xiu Qin and Wang Can’s expressions immediately changed, the original indifference and reserved disappeared, and the expressions became more affectionate.

“MeiMei Su, I’m Wei Xiu Qin, I was a little lost just now, please bear with me.” Wei Xiu Qin stood up and spoke.

“Yeah, I am Wang Can. We were all mad at one thing before, and we were all confused, MeiMei Su, please sit down and talk.” Wang Can stretched out his hand and scratched his head, showing a childish smile.

Naturally, Su ZiShuang didn’t want to be scornful to what they had just said. She arrived for the first time and had an unsteady footing. She was still ignorant about everything. If there were a few more familiar people, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.

Yue HaiLan pulled Su ZiShuang and pressed her on a mahogany cushioned chair, and she was sitting on the other mahogany cushioned chair with a mahogany sword. Her attitude, no matter how she looked, seemed to be like a knock-off queen.

“Very good. Originally, there were only three people in our Yue Alliance. Now that we have MeiMei Su, the four Diamond Stars are all in one place. In the future, we will do a good job of refining it. Seeing that those people still laugh at us as the three big wastes.” Yue HaiLan blinked her eyes.

“Isn’t it just jealousy? Saying that we entered the QingLian Tower based on our family background, they said we will embarrass them at the Outer Disciple Conference in half a year. Grapes are sour when you can’t eat them [3] .” Wei Xiu Qin said angrily.

[3] 吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸/chī bù dào pú tao shuō pú tao suān – what you can’t get always looks a little more tempting.

“In six months, let them see how good our Yue Alliance is. I’m not angry at all. strength is not by mouth!” Yue HaiLan’s tone was full of confidence.

“Even if our qualifications are mediocre, based on our identity and background, those people will be killed by the pile of pills.” Wei Xiu Qin said with coldness in her eyes.

“But, the pills can not take more, it will affect the later progress …. Also, among those people, there are two of the three geniuses. Their talents far exceed ours, and the sect gives them more resources. Even if we have a background and powerful elders, it doesn’t mean that we can do it ourselves…” Wang Can hesitated.

As soon as Wang Can’s words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent. And hearing this, Su ZiShuang basically figured out the identities of these people. To put it bluntly, Yue HaiLan, Wei Xiu Qin, and Wang Can are the three masters who entered QingLian Tower with their family backgrounds. Their aptitudes are not good, so they were chewed and pointed behind them.

Or maybe the three of them showed some arrogance, which annoyed the other disciples, so the other disciples threatened to be in the evaluation test that give them the upper hand. This is the natural class war between the rich and poor.

Su ZiShuang cried secretly in her heart; did she just join their small team? Wasn’t that like she got taken into the fire pit?

Although these three people have backgrounds, as Wang Can said, the background can only represent the strength of the elders, not themselves. When it comes to the sect assessment, if one cannot achieve enough outstanding results, one may not be despised, let alone be “given special consideration” by others during the competition.
