370: Bisi

Why did this person say she and Zo did it? Clearly she and Zo hadn’t done anything. Feng Wu bit her lip, aggrieved. The people she asked Xiao Chun to save where wronging her. She suddenly wanted to beat them up.

“Don’t think just because you deny it, it’s OK. You said you didn’t do it, but why are you the only two who weren’t affected? How does that make any sense?”

“If Feng Wu hadn’t saved you, you would have killed each other ages ago. The moment after you’re saved, you start attacking your savior. Really shameless.” Zo was angry. It was a waste of Feng Wu’s time to save them. Especially this woman; it would have been better to let her go crazy and get killed so she wouldn’t bother them again.

The others were shocked by Zo’s words. It was hard to imagine it was the black-haired girl who saved them. Doubt clouded their eyes.

This made Zo angry. These people were white eyed wolves, it would have been better to not save them.

“Do you know what that light just now was?” Zo asked with a cold smile.

“What was it?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.

“It was a light that magnified the negative aspects of a person’s heart, such as greed and malice. All of these things inside us were magnified because of the light. Just now, everyone lost their senses and began fighting to keep the treasure for themselves.

I had also been controlled by the greed in my heart, but Feng Wu was next to me and she rescued me in time. Otherwise I’d be like everyone else, trying to fight and kill anyone in my way. Considering my strength, had I rushed in, I would have surely died.”

“You say she saved you; how did she do it? What did she use to?” The woman spoke proudly with a face full of suspicion.

“Why should I tell you?” Zo looked at her disdainfully.

“You. . . .” She was so angry. An ordinary person dared give her such a look? She needed to kill him.

“Everyone, let’s hurry and heal our injuries. Now that the burial gate is open, we should proceed forward, not argue about someone’s guess,” spoke up a guy holding a long sword.

They came for treasure. Who had the time to listen to people argue?

The others nodded their heads in agreement. They took out healing potions for their injuries.

The woman glared and screamed in disbelief. “You want to let these two despicable people off the hook just like that?!”

Everyone else ignored her and focused on healing their wounds instead. But the man who had spoken up wasn’t patient.

“Please settle your personal agendas on your own, and don’t treat others like they’re fools to be used.”

The people watching the scene sneered as they watched the woman’s face turn from red to white. This woman, did she really think they couldn’t see through her charade? She couldn’t deal with the little girl on her own, so she wanted everyone to side with her and crush the girl.

It wasn’t a bad idea, but it relied on everyone willing to cooperate with her. However there were few idiots who made it as far who were willing to make enemies of strangers for another stranger’s benefit.

Zo was delighted to see her defeated. He found a place to sit with Feng Wu and together they enjoyed a meat bun. It tasted more delicious than usual.

The woman lowered her eyes, which were now filled with hate, once she saw no one was paying her any attention.

Go ahead, be proud of yourselves. But just you wait. Once I find my chance, you’ll all die, she thought to herself. She had been a member of the Lianye clan and Shaya,[notes] the elder Tianya killed, was her father.

In her mind, no one was allowed to kill a member of the clan and get away with it.

She was Bisi and she never had to walk behind anyone. The only ones she had to give face to were the clan’s direct descendants and the children of some of the elders.

However, all that came to an end with Shaya’s death. Without his presence, those who she’d bullied were finally given the opportunity to get revenge. They got together with the daughter of the ninth elder and surrounded her, but she was fortunate to have resources on her person.

Her father loved her a great deal and had left her with a variety of items to keep her safe. Using these, she managed to kill the ninth elder’s daughter along with the girl’s sidekick. Bisi was classified as a traitor ever since.

Bisi had no regrets though. What was the point of staying with a clan that couldn’t protect her? They wouldn’t have allowed the ninth’s daughter to give her so much trouble if they had taken any of her father’s achievements to heart. Her position had plummeted since her father died.

In reality, the Lianye clan did give her consideration. Even if her father was dead, she herself, was a rare ice magician. Not to mention she was a genius. They were willing to keep training her.

Her classes continued without disruption and her monthly allotment of potions remained the same, but she no longer received the potions and funds from her father’s personal inventory.

The whole thing about her being bullied by those seeking revenge was nonsense though. The only exception was the daughter of the ninth elder, who had wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson because of a past grievance. The others, at worst, just had a bad attitude towards her. Those who used to suck up to her were gone, having no reason to do so anymore.

The main reason for her leaving was her inability to accept the gap in her position. She had never suffered slights before; it was always other people who changed their attitude to suit her. Though some talked, no one dared offend her.

They knew her potential as an ice magician was high. As long as she didn’t do anything stupid and offend anyone high up too terribly, it was possible the elders would have a position for her in the future.

But her feelings were too delicate; she couldn’t bear even a tiny bit of grievance. This led her to killing the ninth elder’s daughter, which in turn caused her to be branded a traitor and was forced to flee.

After her escape from the clan, Bisi traveled alone trying to find her father’s killer, but unfortunately she couldn’t find Tianya, instead she found Feng Wu and Ming Xi.

The Lianye clan had thoroughly investigated the people with Tianya and had created portraits of every one, so Bisi recognized Feng Wu without difficulty.
