Lingqiao nodded, took her sword, and disappeared into the crowd.
Lingqiao was a paper spirit, but not an ordinary one. She was a paper spirit with a human touch, which even the Vice Principal hadn’t noticed before.
Thinking about the masked man, Feng Siyue felt that he might have recognized Lingqiao’s identity. So, it was better to let Lingqiao leave in advance.
It wasn’t that she feared others would discover Lingqiao’s identity, but the man gave her a mysterious and dangerous vibe. Since Lingqiao didn’t belong to the human realm, it was better to be cautious.
She still didn’t know much about this man, not even his name. Even though he was recognized by her Grandmaster as her senior brother and his figure was exactly her type, she couldn’t let her guard down.
“Wanqing, it’s her! She ruined Feng Youran’s appearance and extorted ten thousand high-grade spirit stones from me!”
Feng Siyue, who was lost in thought, suddenly heard Xiao Chuhan’s voice behind her.
Wanqing? Was it Feng Wanqing?
Had she come out of seclusion so soon?
She turned around and saw Feng Wanqing dressed in a purple gown.
Compared to five years ago, Feng Wanqing now looked more noble and unattainable, with a stunning appearance. She held her chin high, like a peacock displaying its feathers.
The man beside her acted as her protector, with a submissive and flattering demeanor, completely lacking the former prestige he once had.
The Beiyuan Kingdom was no longer as prosperous as it once was, which affected the status of Crown Prince Xiao Chuhan. The Vast Academy, however, was never short of students from noble backgrounds.
Besides Xiao Chuhan, Feng Wanqing had seven or eight other protectors around her. They all glared angrily at Feng Siyue, looking as if they wanted to kill her.
Ha, after taking her soul beast and phoenix bone, she was still only at this level of cultivation after five years? Feng Siyue couldn’t help but mock inwardly. She could see at a glance that Feng Wanqing was still only at the sixth tier of the Martial King realm, not even as high as Tangguo’s current level. Tangguo was about to break through the Martial King realm.
Clearly, not everyone had the talent for cultivation. Even with the phoenix bone and soul beast, Feng Wanqing was only slightly stronger than an average person.
Feng Wanqing, hearing Xiao Chuhan’s words, looked at Feng Siyue. She didn’t sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from Feng Siyue, as if she was standing there like a waste. This immediately filled her with a sense of disdain.
However, the two children beside her were beautifully adorned, and everything about them seemed precious. Especially the boy’s waist and the girl’s hair ornaments, which were embedded with holy-grade spirit crystals. Even she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
At that moment, her brow suddenly felt warm, and the Lunar Ghost, which had been dormant, seemed to stir uneasily.
But she didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking that Lunar Ghost was just envious of the holy-grade spirit crystals. In her heart, she thought that if she could get those crystals and feed them to Lunar Ghost, its cultivation would surely rise to a higher level.
So she walked towards Feng Siyue, adopting the demeanor of a righteous envoy. “I heard that you crippled my cousin’s cultivation, ruined her appearance, and extorted spirit stones from Brother Chuhan? You’re quite young, but your heart is so vicious!”
Feng Siyue sneered. “Tsk, tsk, are you here to stand up for them? Unfortunately, everyone at the entrance of the Vast Academy saw what happened. It was your cousin who tried to rob and kill first. How is it that in your version, I’m the one with a vicious heart?”
Hearing Feng Siyue’s voice, Feng Wanqing was completely stunned.
Although Xiao Chuhan had mentioned on the way here that this woman’s voice was very similar to Feng Siyue’s, hearing it for real still shocked her deeply.
She had taken everything from Feng Siyue to achieve her current prominence, so she felt somewhat guilty. Over the past five years, she had hated hearing anyone mention Feng Siyue. She hadn’t expected someone’s voice to be so similar to Feng Siyue’s.
Although the voice was similar, Feng Wanqing was certain that Feng Siyue was long dead, with no chance of having a soul. After all, she had removed Feng Siyue’s bones and thrown her into the Soul Severing Valley.
She had even witnessed with her own eyes as the hungry wolves devoured Feng Siyue, leaving no trace behind.
“My cousin was young and naive, led astray by her senior brothers. You’ve already killed her senior brothers, ruined her appearance, and crippled her cultivation. Isn’t that enough? You should return the ten thousand high-grade spirit stones to Brother Chuhan. That’s the right thing to do.”
She spoke with a haughty expression, though she was quite upset. Those ten thousand high-grade spirit stones were specifically prepared by Xiao Chuhan for her, intending to buy an important artifact at this auction.
That’s why she had come out of seclusion just in time for the auction.
She hadn’t expected Xiao Chuhan to give away so many spirit stones for a mere Feng Youran. What a fool!
She had never truly valued Feng Youran. The only reason she had been kind to her was to maintain her own reputation for kindness.
She had thought the spirit stones were lost, but unexpectedly, she ran into the person here. So, she was determined to get the spirit stones back.
No one could take what Feng Wanqing wanted from her!
However, the little girl opposite her scoffed. “Is she younger than me? Even I know not to rob people on the road or threaten others. If you do, you have to pay the price!”
Feng Wanqing finally looked at the little girl next to Feng Siyue and was instantly stunned. She looked seven or eight parts similar to the young Feng Siyue.
After a moment, she asked, “Who… are you?”
“I’m Mifan,” Little Mifan answered obediently, then added, “We don’t need you to teach us how to be human. After all, you haven’t learned it yourself!”
She hasn’t learned how to be human?
Feng Wanqing’s face visibly darkened!
No one had ever dared to speak to her like that. Ever since she took Feng Siyue’s soul beast five years ago, she had been the center of attention, like the moon among stars.
No one around her had ever spoken harshly to her, and men fawned over her while women flattered her. Wherever she went, she was the most dazzling presence.
And yet, this little brat dared to say she hadn’t learned how to be human? It was as if she had a death wish!
“Bold! How dare you speak to Wanqing like that, you little brat? You’re asking for death!” someone shouted, assuming an attacking stance. “Apologize to Junior Sister Wanqing immediately, or we won’t spare you!”
“Yes, apologize right now, and return the spirit stones to Senior Brother Chuhan!”
Before Feng Wanqing could even say anything, male students from Vast Academy stood up, angrily pointing at Feng Siyue.
Just moments ago, they had seen Feng Siyue’s maid leave, and Feng Siyue herself appeared to have no cultivation. So, they felt emboldened.
“Snap!”
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of scissors. People saw a finger fall to the ground, and then the hand that had been pointing at Little Mifan was cut off, accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream!
