Chapter 647: Chapter 647: The Priestess’s Charms (23)
It seed to be a case of “Speak of the devil and he shall appear.”
Fu Yu had just ntioned Liang Shuxue,
and Liang Shuxue ca over with two people in tow.
Chuzheng glanced at Fu Yu, “Jinx!”
Fu Yu: “…”
“So I hear your na is Chuzheng?” Liang Shuxue stood before her with an air of arrogance befitting a princess, her posture full of entitlent. The two from The Temple standing behind her gave her face, acting as her entourage.
“Who told you that?” Chuzheng asked earnestly.
Liang Shuxue: “…”
Is that the important part?
“What does it matter who told ?” Liang Shuxue’s expression darkened, “Don’t think I don’t know, you’re a Dark Series Magician.”
Liang Shuxue thought that by revealing this, the person she was confronting would show so restraint, allowing her to threaten Chuzheng smoothly.
However, the girl opposite her looked back with a completely calm gaze.
So calm it was as if she had just heard a joke that wasn’t very funny.
“Who told you I’m a Dark Series Magician?” The woman’s voice rose coolly.
“You can fool others but not . I saw it with my own eyes that day!” Liang Shuxue was sure she had not been mistaken; she was certain that Chuzheng was a Dark Series Magician.
It was just that she didn’t know by what ans she had managed to deceive the Priest Lord.
“Where’s the evidence?” Chuzheng asked composedly, “You accuse of being a Dark Series Magician without any evidence?”
Even if you’re a princess, beautiful to boot, you don’t have that much face!
Without evidence, it’s just hooliganism!
Don’t even think about being a hooligan with !
“Heh…” Liang Shuxue laughed out of rage, extending her delicate hand to point at Chuzheng, “Alright, you want evidence? Today, I’ll let everyone see your true face…”
Liang Shuxue quickly recited a magic curse.
“Lightning Spell!”
With an elegant cry, several flashes of lightning abruptly appeared, hurtling towards Chuzheng.
The surrounding crowd exclaid and scattered.
Chuzheng grabbed a hanging sign from a nearby shop and flung it toward the incoming lightning.
The sign was pierced by the lightning, but it slowed the bolts down. By the ti the initial lightning reached where Chuzheng had been standing, she had already dragged a bewildered Fu Yu out of the way.
But Liang Shuxue did not plan to end it there and continued reciting magic curses.
Chuzheng: “…”
You’re really getting into this, aren’t you!
Chuzheng pinched her wrist and, before the next wave of Thunder Series Magic struck, she took a small leap and darted towards Liang Shuxue.
Liang Shuxue likely did not expect Chuzheng to forgo using magic and instead opt for close-quarters combat, causing her to stumble over her magic curse and the second wave of attacks failed to materialize.
Just as Chuzheng neared Liang Shuxue, a flash of fire suddenly crossed her vision, forcing her to change direction.
The fire dragon created by the blaze turned a corner and ca at her again.
Fu Yu, having co to his senses, imdiately released a fire dragon of his own. The two fire dragons collided, exploded with a loud bang, and then vanished into thin air.
Liang Shuxue was supported by soone, “Who dares to make a move in Penghua City!”
Chuzheng turned around, her sleeve cutting through the air in an elegant and handso arc, her cool and detached eyes looking towards the person holding Liang Shuxue.
The air suddenly quieted down.
Opposite her stood a finely-dressed scion, his face handso, exuding the nobility of the scions of noble families. Standing next to Liang Shuxue, they made a strikingly attractive couple.
However, this finely-dressed scion’s expression began to sour.
“Ye Kaiying,” Chuzheng enunciated his na deliberately.
“You… you…” Ye Kaiying’s face turned ashen, “You’re actually still alive!”
Imdiately realizing he might have spoken out of turn, he fell silent.
“You’re all alive, so why wouldn’t I be?”
Chuzheng’s eyes filled with a cold intensity as she stared at Ye Kaiying, causing him to shiver; those eyes of the little girl had turned terrifying.
Yes.
Terrifying.
This was Ye Kaiying’s thought at the mont.
“What are you doing here? What do you want?” Ye Kaiying blurted out two questions in succession.
Chuzheng rubbed her fingers against her wrists a couple of tis.
The temperature in the air around seed to be dropping, eerily cold and unsettling.
Whoosh—
The sound of the wind arose.
The woman’s figure left a trail of afterimages in the air.
Ye Kaiying and Liang Shuxue were both startled, and unexpectedly, they moved to act at the sa ti in perfect unison.
–
Five minutes later.
Ye Kaiying and Liang Shuxue lay on the ground, their posture neat and matching, as if they had the potential to be from the sa family. It would’ve been perfect if Ye Shuliang were there too.
Alas.
What a pity.
Chuzheng discarded the tool she had used to commit the act, and dusted off her hands. As she turned her head, she t countless pairs of eyes that were watching the show.
Chuzheng: “…”
So many people?!
No, this isn’t good!
Chuzheng took a deep breath, composed herself, and turned to leave quickly.
“Chuzheng, you… you…” Fu Yu ca over trembling, “Why did you knock them unconscious?”
“Otherwise?” Chuzheng retorted, “Should I have killed them? In front of all these people, wouldn’t I be unable to clear my na even if I jumped into the Yellow River? That won’t do, that won’t do.
Fu Yu: “???”
What was my question again?
Seeing Chuzheng leave with an air of nonchalance, Fu Yu quickly followed.
The onlookers, who at this point wouldn’t dare to block her path, made way for her one after another.
“Isn’t that the Eldest Princess?”
“Who is the one that hit people? She actually dared to hit the only child of the Ye Family and the Eldest Princess.”
“I rember that girl, she seed very generous with her spending, very wealthy.”
“Just now I saw her spend a lot of gold coins shopping.”
“Could she be a young miss who snuck out from a great noble family?”
“The person with her is wearing the clothes of The Temple…”
The cacophony of discussions was left far behind by Chuzheng.
Fu Yu followed Chuzheng anxiously: “Are you really okay after hitting them? Once they wake up, they’ll definitely cause trouble for you. If the matter reaches Priest Lord, what will you do?”
Chuzheng didn’t seem to mind: “I’m not one of The Temple’s people. Why should I be afraid?”
Fu Yu: “…”
Right he is.
But if you hit them, they will seek revenge!!
–
Ye Kaiying was picked up by the people of the Ye Family who passed by.
Ye Shuliang had only this one precious child, treated as if they were too fragile for the world, too precious to lose. Seeing Ye Kaiying in such a state, Ye Shuliang was instantly furious.
“Who did this?”
“…Family Head, we’re not sure. By the ti we arrived, the young master was already lying there.”
The man hesitated for a mont.
“And the Eldest Princess… she was lying there with the young master.”
“What?” The Eldest Princess? Why would she be assaulted alongside his son? What is her status? She’s now a person of The Temple; who would dare to lay a hand on her?
Ye Shuliang forced himself to calm down: “Did no one around see anything?”
“We asked around, they only ntioned a girl, but nobody recognized her.”
“Cough cough…”
“Kaiying.” Upon hearing Ye Kaiying’s sound, Ye Shuliang imdiately rushed over: “How are you?”
Ye Kaiying’s chest hurt terribly, and his face was pale with no trace of color.
But he had already taken dicine and had no life-threatening injuries, though he looked quite dreadful.
Ye Shuliang’s eyes were fierce with vengeance: “Kaiying, who did this to you? Tell Dad, and I will take revenge for you.”
“Chu… Chuzheng.”
