120,000 suo ! This might be a huge amount of money for the ordinary residents of Han City, but for a Female Warrior like Zong Ping, it was roughly equal to merely two months of her allowance. Moreover, because she had recently participated in the ranking competition and even entered the fourth round, the Saintess Hall had given her an extra 200,000 suo as a reward. Therefore, her current financial situation was not bad at all.
However, she was still in an awful mood.
This time, she ended up losing the rice which she used to lure the chicken while trying to steal it. Not only did she have to compensate Yang QiQi with money but three of her males also had to be sent to the medical building. That Xiang BuChen was really vicious, those three wouldn’t be able to come out of the medical building for at least a week.
She thought she was already really out of luck, but the next morning, when she arrived at the arena to watch the sixth round and was confronted with the whispers and gesticulations of the surrounding beastmen, her face turned so black that ink could drip from it.
Male beastman A: “Look, she is that Female Warrior Zong Ping who used to be considered our Han City’s Ladies’ Combat Court’s most popular female before. I certainly didn’t expect her to be such a person.”
Male beastman B: “To frame a participant from the same Saintess Hall as her… It’s lucky that she failed to achieve her goal.”
Male beastman C: “Going by her face, she looks like a sweet and friendly little female. However, in reality, she is actually very petty. Han City’s current ranking is possible all thanks to the great efforts of Female Warrior Lady QiQi but she actually disregarded the interests of the whole city for her own selfish reasons. I really misjudged her before…”
Female beastman A: “Bah! It’s a shame that I used to think she was an excellent person when she is not even as good as Female Warrior Qi Ye. At least, Female Warrior Qi Ye gave her utmost for the honor of Han City but this Zong Ping only knows how to harm her own city’s people. She is truly a disgrace to our Han City’s Ladies’ Combat Court!”
Female beastman B: “You should lower your voice. That person is full of evil schemes, don’t let her know you’re talking behind her back. You are a straightforward person; you neither have Female Warrior QiQi’s strength nor her brains. If she does hear you, let alone compensation, I’m afraid you won’t even know how you died.”
This female asking her companion to lower her voice spoke so loudly that Zong Ping, who was sitting two rows ahead of her, also heard her words clearly.
Since the matches had not yet commenced, all eyes were on Zong Ping, making her feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles. At this time, hearing the loud taunts of the females in the back row, she could no longer maintain a gentle expression. She stood up and swept a gloomy and cold glance over the female.
“Hehe~” That female was not an ordinary female; she was also a Female Warrior from the Ladies’ Combat Court. Although her strength was slightly inferior, she was not afraid of Zong Ping. When Zong Ping gazed at her, she raised her head and sneered: “Why? Did you think that the fine act you put on in the NuZhu Building will be settled with a little money? It is so obvious that you willingly threw your arms around our QiQi’s Guardian Beast and tried to slander him for assaulting you because once you discovered that there was a monitoring device installed, you immediately announced it was a drunken mistake on your part. Aiyo , you really got drunk in time ah~”
Zong Ping’s hands hanging by her side clenched tightly but there was no trace of it on her face. It was completely calm.
After Yang QiQi and her party left, she used her identity as a Female Warrior to threaten the two supervisors of NuZhu Building to hand over the video recording of the incident. She didn’t expect it to circulate so widely despite that. Thus, even after she spent so much money, she couldn’t escape the aftermath. Not only did the 120,000 suo not play an effective role, but it also became one of the reasons that made her become a laughingstock.
Seeing that she had become a thorn in the eyes of all the beastmen of Han City, Zong Ping lost the mood to watch the match and rushed toward the door.
“Lady…” Her three male beasts shouted from behind.
“Come with me.” She glared at them angrily, her footsteps getting quicker.
“Should have left way before. If this happened with me, I wouldn’t even have the face to come out.” That Female Warrior muttered coolly from the back.
Zong Ping’s face turned green and then red; she just wanted to get out of this arena as fast as possible.
Female A covered her mouth and chuckled: “Your mouth is really sharp! You advised me to speak lightly but condemned her yourself.”
……
Actually, Zong Ping’s way of handling the aftermath of this matter was still very appropriate. She first used 120,000 suo to calm Yang QiQi and her team’s anger, and then obtained the surveillance footage. Although she could not seal the mouths of the staff and the customers who came out to watch the scene from the sides, it was not something which could cause such a huge uproar that everyone in the city would come to know of it in less than a day. If she wanted to blame someone, she would blame Yang QiQi at once. But she forgot that among Yang QiQi’s Guardian Beasts, there were two males who were particularly short-sighted: Nian JiMo and Zheng Shou.
