Chapter 306 Lai Zi
Chapter 306 Lai Zi
[ Lai Yun's room ]
Seated on her bed in the lotus position, Lai Yun was cultivating the Illusory Qi from her Medium Grade Spirit Pendant when she suddenly incurred a minor backlash from it.
Wiping the blood trickling down from the corner of her lips, Lai Yun decided to stop even though she had only just started.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop thinking about Xiao Fang.
'Is he stupid or is he just trying to impress Yan Mei?' she thought.
The White Jade guild members practiced the Black Paradise sect's signature whip technique which was usually only taught to core court disciples. So it wasn't uncommon to see Tiger or even Snake-Class disciples contend against Phoenix-Class disciples. However, thinking about it now, Lai Yun was reminded of the way Xiao Fang defeated her on the first day of class despite her using the Silver Whip technique on him.
'He's strong, but going out there by himself is just stupid, right? Elder Su said there were several of them out there. Even if he was an entire realm above them, it wouldn't make a difference if he was outnumbered 10 to 1,' Lai Yun continued to think.
Lai Yun didn't think Xiao Fang was dumb, so she assumed there had to be something else she wasn't considering. However, no matter how hard she tried to think about it, she just couldn't figure it out.
After a few more seconds, Lai Yun's curiosity eventually got the better of her. Quickly dressing up, she rushed outside but to her dismay, they were already gone.
In the next moment, Lai Yun could hear several faint screams coming from several kilometers away.
'Dammit,' Lai Yun thought as she started running towards the sound.
Running through the forest, she didn't take a second to think about why she was hearing so many girls screaming. All she knew was that the battle had started so she should get there quickly.
'That crazy bastard. What does he hope to achieve by going up against them? Does he not know the reputation the White Jade guild holds?' Lai Yun thought in frustration.
Nearing the end of the forest, she began to notice something strange.
'What the hell...'
Suddenly, Lai Yun came to a stop and her eyes widened in shock.
"This..." she said under her breath while being unable to understand the situation in front of her.
Looking around, Lai Yun could see 20 or so naked White Jade guild members hiding behind the thick trees in the forest as they watched Xiao Fang and Yan Mei walk further and further away down the road.
'Are they just going to let him go? And why are they all naked?' Lai Yun thought.
Most of the girls were in the Snake-Class, but the weakest amongst them was still in the Spirit Core realm, so even if Xiao Fang was a Profound Realm cultivator, their numbers alone should've been enough to suppress him.
No limbs were lost, no blood was shed, and no skins were bruised. If it wasn't for the fact that their robes were all cut and scattered on the grass, Yan Mei would've assumed that they had stripped naked of their own volition and let him pass as if he was royalty.
'Did he really strip them all by himself?' Lai Yun thought in shock.
Looking back up at Xiao Fang and Yan Mei walking away in the distance, Lai Yun couldn't help but have complicated feelings about him now.
She already knew he was strong from when he fought her in class, but when she overheard Yan Mei say that he saved her from Gao Liwen last night, she didn't even believe it for a second.
Gao Liwen was a 1st division Phoenix-Class disciple who had mastered the Illusory whip technique to the 3rd level [ Golden Whip ], so even if there were 10 of him, she thought he still wouldn't stand a chance against her. However, seeing the scene in front of her. However, seeing the scene in front of her, she didn't know what to think.
...
To be toyed with them to such an extent, and by a man as well, this was the only thing that was worse than death to these overly prideful girls.
When Xiao Fang was far enough away, the girls finally came out of hiding, then started rummaging through all the torn up clothes on the grass, to find their spatial pouches. They wanted to grab a new set of robes from their pouches, but not long after they started looking, they quickly realized that all the spatial pouches were all gone.
"That damn pervert!!!" One of the girls screamed in frustration.
"Who the hell was that man!?"
"His name is Long Wang," someone suddenly said, but as soon as the person spoke, the other girls immediately quieted down.
The person that spoke was the only Phoenix-Class disciple amongst them, and she was the leader of this expedition.
[ 3rd Division, Phoenix-Class disciple, Lai Zi ]
Lai Zi had troubled look on her face because her guildmate, Gao Liwen, had warned her not to confront Long Wang, but after investigating his background, all she could find out was that he was new to the inner court, so she ignored her senior's warning and carried out the attack anyway.
"Everyone, listen up! No one can know what happened here, otherwise the White Jade guild will become the biggest laughing stock in the inner court," Lai Zi said in a grave tone, but the girls already knew the seriousness of the situation they were in.
Not only was their defeat in the hands of a single man an embarrassment to their prestigious guild's name, but Xiao Fang had defeated them in such a humiliating way that they didn't think they could raise their heads again if anyone ever knew what happened here.
"That's for sure," someone suddenly said before walking out of the shadows.
Seeing that she was the only woman fully dressed, the girls immediately knew she wasn't one of them. However, upon recognizing who it was, they started to have mixed feelings.
"Lai Yun, what are you doing here?" Lai Zi said coldly.
Despite how dangerous the girls were, Lai Yun still smiled warmly then said.
"Did you miss me, little sister?"
