Chapter 468: Chapter 466

Zhuge Meiyu saw Xiao’er waving her whip over. She had already avoided it, how could the whip still hit her?! Unless there was a change of direction during the process.

Clearly her skills were inferior to hers, how could her speed be this fast!

Xiao’er ignored her look of disbelief, wielded the whip again. She needed to scare this kind of person by beating her until she conceded defeat.

Zhuge Meiyu had really good moves. This time she successfully dodged Xiao’er’s long whip and swung her own at Xiao’er.

Xiao’er was quick to react. Their whips were entwined together.

Zhuge Meiyu pulled hard, and Xiao’er felt like she was trapped. Unable to break free, she charged straight towards Zhuge Meiyu.

Then she swung hard again, trying to throw Xiao’er off.

This was the proof of their difference in strength.

Seeing herself about to be thrown away, Xiao’er, in the moment Zhuge Meiyu wanted to pull back the whip, blatantly held on and twisted the whip in her hand, entwining their whips together, pulling them closer. Then, she quickly took out another whip from her left hand and swung it at Zhuge Meiyu.

Zhuge Meiyu never expected Xiao’er to have a second whip. She was hit again and tore the skin off her flesh!

After Xiao’er finished her whip swing, she did not linger. She loosened the force on the whip, retracted it and distanced herself from Zhuge Meiyu after two flips.

Zhuge Meiyu, who was whipped twice, was really gasping in anger now.

She launched herself at Xiao’er with all her might.

Xiao’er withdrew her long whip, dodging and throwing darts and silver needles at her at the same time.

The darts and silver needles fell towards Zhuge Meiyu in a dense downpour, forcing her to stop in her tracks, loosen the cloak, and block them all with one throw and one roll.

Xiao’er didn’t care, and continued to throw, she had plenty to spare.

Zhuge Meiyu simply couldn’t defend herself fast enough! She strained to block the incoming silver needles! But there were too many of them and eventually she was pricked by a few silver needles! How many darts and silver needles does this demoness have? She’s been throwing for half the day and she’s not finished!

In the end, she could only hide in embarrassment!

Xiao’er was pleased inside, it was great to have inner strength. If she couldn’t win, she would rain silver needles with supplemented inner strength, and there was nothing the others could do about it, hahaha!

However, her hand was a bit strained for throwing too many silver needles!

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Jinquan twitched his mouth and couldn’t help but speak, "Miss, please show some mercy, my sister was behaving rashly just now."

Xiao’er stopped her hands and taunted, "When you can win you call it venting, when you’re losing it’s called mucking around. Is that your so-called justice? Everything is right for you!"

Zhuge Jinquan’s face turned red upon hearing this.

Those who were enjoying the show laughed, and someone said, "This is clearly a case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, isn’t it?"

"Obviously it is, otherwise why didn’t they stop the fight at the beginning."

"Not only are they bullying the weak and fearing the strong, they’re also being unreasonable. Earlier, I happened to be behind her and saw her trying to hurt this lady. This lady was pulled away by the purple-clothed gentleman, and only then did she bump into Gentry Zhu! And after she was taken advantage of by Gentry Zhu, she claimed that it was this lady who harmed her. Is that not being unreasonable?"

"Tut tut, there really are all kinds of people in this world!"

"A large forest harbors all kinds of birds."

"Indeed, the eyes of the masses are always sharp! I really appreciate everyone today, otherwise I would have been left speechless!" Xiao’er sincerely thanked those who couldn’t bear it and spoke the truth.

"You..." Zhuge Meiyu, hurting all over, hearing all these words, wanted to rush towards Xiao’er again.

"What’s the matter, you still want to try my silver needle rain? These aren’t ordinary silver needles, you see, the tips are all black! I’ve smeared poison on them! If you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. But if you provoke me, I can use a single needle to end you!" Xiao’er raised her hand, holding a large bundle of silver needles, the tip of which was indeed black.

Everyone’s mouths twitched. How much did this girl love silver needles!

That big bundle of silver needles, there must be at least eight or even ten thousand of them!

Zhuge Meiyu stopped, perplexed. Who was she encountering! Why would they carry so many needles on them for no reason!

"You’re harsh! Let’s wait and see!"

Xiao’er came to Shangguan Xuanyi’s side, smirked provocatively and said, "Now that you know I am harsh, you should not provoke me!"

Zhuge Meiyu huffed coldly and stormed off.

As Gong Qinghua passed by Xiao’er, he glanced at her and the large bundle of silver needles she was carrying. He found this girl exceedingly intriguing.

Xiao’er shot him a fierce glance, waving her bundle of silver needles threateningly.

Gong Qinghua chuckled. His smile was light, but dazzling like the March sunshine. Xiao’er felt a familiar sensation, assuming it must be just the sun making her head spin!

Shangguan Xuanyi’s face darkened. He pulled Xiao’er along, gave Gong Qinghua a cold stare, then turned to leave.

Lost in her own thoughts, Xiao’er let Shangguan Xuanyi guide her back to the inn.

Shangguan Xuanyi directly led Xiao’er into her room and closed the door behind them.

Jingrui followed them, his nose almost getting caught in the door!

He touched his nose, grateful it was still intact.

Remembering Xiao’er’s preoccupation and Shangguan Xuanyi’s stormy expression, he thought about knocking on the door, but then with another thought, he dropped his hand, and dejectedly walked back to his own room. Surely enough, girls were bound to leave home and join other families. Probably next year, both his younger sisters would be part of other households!

Back in her room, Xiao’er still pondered over that oddly familiar smile.

Seeing her like this, Shangguan Xuanyi sat down fuming.

Xiao’er was thinking across from him as he silently watched her, her inner spirit seemed to have left her. He felt a sourness fill his stomach.

Both of them remained silent.

Shangguan Xuanyi was drowning in his own jealousy but didn’t disturb Xiao’er’s thoughts.

Xiao’er was a woman with secrets, which he knew all along. His disappointment arose from the fact that she kept these secrets from him, but he was willing to wait until she fully trusted him to tell him.

Gong Qinghua and Xiao’er should be two people who have no intersection, and they met for the first time today. Why was Xiao’er so lost after he smiled at her? Was it related to her secret? Or was it about her senior?

Shangguan Xuanyi would absolutely not admit that he was jealous. That his smile was not as charming as Gong Qinghua’s, which had caused Xiao’er’s trance.

Xiao’er in her heart worried that another familiar face had arrived. Thinking about what certain people did in her past life gave her a headache! In her previous life, she had been haunted by past regrets, but this life had been peaceful. If she was haunted again... No, she was definitely overthinking! If that person had indeed come here, the world wouldn’t be so peaceful.

The current peace of the world showed that she was overthinking! It was just a charming smile, she was worrying excessively.

Moreover, even if he did come! He didn’t know who she was! Was she supposed to be afraid of him!

The enlightened Xiao’er snapped back to reality only to see Shangguan Xuanyi looking at her intently with a darkened face: "Why is Brother Shangguan staring at me like that?"

"Finished thinking?"

"Thinking what?" Xiao’er did not realize what he meant.

"About Gong Qinghua."
