Chapter 16: Going Back to the Sect with Senior Sister!
Han Feng was stunned. He hadn’t expected that someone in Cold Moon City would dare to stop him.
“What are you… how dare you lecture this…” Han Feng’s words trailed off as his pupils constricted, and his entire body began to tremble and twitch violently.
Reflected in his pupils was a face of unparalleled, snow-like beauty. Luo Chuxue’s expression was weary, but the token at her waist, symbolizing her status as a personal disciple of the Snowfall Sect, was still silently emitting a faint blue light.
Han Feng’s body trembled, and his knees went weak. In front of everyone’s disbelieving eyes, he actually knelt down.
His face was filled with terror as he whispered as if seeing a ghost, “Canglan… Prin… cess.”
Before the crowd could clearly hear Han Feng’s words, Luo Chuxue had already interrupted him. “The son of a city lord, actually defrauding small vendors. What kind of behavior is this?”
Before Luo Chuxue could finish, Han Feng was already kowtowing like a pestle pounding garlic. “This lowly one knows his mistake. I didn’t know… Prin…”
Luo Chuxue: “Hmm?”
“Ah… This lowly one didn’t know… that the Snowfall Sect’s Sect Master’s personal disciple was gracing us with her presence, and I have shown such an ugly side in front of Your Excellency…”
With that, he kowtowed a few more times, his head hitting the ground, leaving Su Lingxi stunned.
Su Lingxi hadn’t expected Luo Chuxue to find her here.
And Fairy Luo was actually the Snowfall Sect’s Sect Master’s personal disciple. Was the status of a so-called personal disciple so great that it could make the son of a city lord kowtow and admit his mistake?
Han Feng’s forehead was already bleeding from the kowtowing, but he paid it no mind. In between kowtows, he continuously observed Luo Chuxue’s expression.
Seeing that her expression hadn’t changed, he gritted his teeth and said, “This lowly one is willing to compensate this young master.”
He hurriedly took off his valuable spatial ring, took out ten high-grade spiritual crystals of excellent quality, and handed them directly to Su Lingxi.
The corner of Su Lingxi’s mouth twitched. She hadn’t expected this guy’s attitude to change so quickly. Just a moment ago, he was trying to rob her, and now he was delivering his own money to her doorstep.
And he was giving ten high-grade spiritual crystals at once. Such a lavish display… it seemed he had scammed quite a few people in the past.
But Su Lingxi gently waved her hand and didn’t accept the ten high-grade spiritual crystals. “Forget it. At most, his attitude was just poor. I absolutely cannot accept compensation of this value.”
Su Lingxi was a person of principle.
Little did she know that her refusal of the money had improved her image in Luo Chuxue’s eyes even more.
But one thing at a time. Luo Chuxue unhesitatingly took the ten spiritual crystals in her hand. “Take them. This is what he deserves!”
Seeing Luo Chuxue’s serious attitude, Su Lingxi had no choice but to take one high-grade spiritual crystal, her tone calm. “If it’s compensation, this is enough.”
“The rest should be used to compensate the others!”
With a slight circulation of her spiritual energy, the remaining nine high-grade spiritual crystals landed in the hands of several different stall owners.
These were all stall owners who had been oppressed by Han Feng in the past. It was only reasonable to compensate them with some high-grade spiritual crystals now.
Su Lingxi’s actions were seen by Luo Chuxue. Young Master Su is so gentle and not greedy for money. He is truly a rarity in this world.
The stall owners watched as the high-grade spiritual crystals landed in their hands, feeling as if they were in a dream.
One high-grade spiritual crystal was equivalent to half a year’s income for them, as they were small businesses.
Several people thanked them one after another. “Thank you, Young Master and Fairy.”
With that, these people planned to pack up their stalls and leave, moving quickly for fear that Su Lingxi would change her mind.
“So… is Your Excellency satisfied?” Han Feng asked in terror.
Watching these people run off with his money, Han Feng’s heart ached. This was his entire year’s savings.
“Mm, you may go. If I ever see or hear of anything like this again… then have the city lord of Cold Moon City come to the Snowfall Sect to apologize!”
Hearing Luo Chuxue’s words, Han Feng let out a heavy sigh of relief as if a great weight had been lifted.
He quickly gave his two subordinates a look, signaling them to come and help him up.
There was no other reason; his legs had gone weak, and he couldn’t walk.
Han Feng completely ignored the stares of the people around him and went straight home.
From now on, Han Feng would be utterly disgraced in Cold Moon City, but he didn’t care… after all, it was only compensation of ten high-grade spiritual crystals, not a big deal.
“Young Master, what is that woman’s background? Why must you treat her like that?”
Hearing this, Han Feng silently closed his eyes. “You don’t understand…”
He was a profligate son, but he was also a profligate who had seen the world.
The Canglan Nation was one of the five great nations of the Mortal Realm.
That year, he had followed his father, the city lord of Cold Moon City, to the imperial capital of Canglan to attend the national assembly. At the assembly, the Canglan Emperor was all smiles. It was supposed to be a discussion of state affairs, but he had called out his precious daughter.
The Canglan Princess.
Han Feng had only glanced at her from a distance and was somewhat lost, his eyes fixed on the young girl next to the Canglan Emperor.
The young girl was slightly immature, but beneath that immaturity was a myriad of splendors. Every line of her skin and features was perfect.
She was the moon in the sky, to be looked at but never reached. Even to touch her gaze in a dream at night was an extravagant hope that was hard to realize.
Even after several years, the throbbing in the depths of his heart was still vivid.
He would not forget that figure. And today, he had actually witnessed the true face of the Canglan Princess.
For him, today’s events were either a blessing or a sorrow…
“Let’s go. This matter is not to be mentioned in front of my father!”
***
Watching Han Feng leave, Su Lingxi still felt that things had happened a bit too quickly.
“Fairy Luo, we parted ways only a few hours ago, yet we meet again. Does Fairy Luo have some other business with me?”
Su Lingxi’s expression was calm, clearly feigning ignorance.
“Come back to the sect with me!” Before Su Lingxi could react, Luo Chuxue had grabbed her wrist.
After searching for several hours, Luo Chuxue was already somewhat tired. Seeing Su Lingxi again, she had actually lost some of her composure and etiquette.
“Hey… Fairy Luo… I haven’t agreed to go back with you… and I still have to run my stall!”
Su Lingxi patted the hand that Luo Chuxue had on her wrist. Only then did Luo Chuxue react and quickly let go.
Then, Luo Chuxue took out a large handful of high-grade spiritual crystals and threw them on the ground in front of Su Lingxi. “I’ll take all of these things. You’re coming with me.”
Su Lingxi’s jaw almost dropped to the floor. Is this little miss really that rich?!
“No, no, I’m a person of principle. Even though I’ve never seen so much money, I can’t just go with someone so casually.”
Seeing that Su Lingxi was still refusing, Luo Chuxue’s beautiful eyes became misty, and a faint layer of fog covered her dreamlike pupils.
Ever since she was young, Luo Chuxue had always gotten whatever she wanted.
Now that she had gone to great lengths to find someone who piqued her curiosity, was it so difficult to get him to go back to the sect with her?
Having a sect was like having a home, a sense of belonging. Wasn’t that a good thing?
Luo Chuxue didn’t speak, her pearly white teeth biting her lower lip as she just looked at Su Lingxi.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Su Lingxi decided to stop pretending.
“Alright, Fairy Luo, take back your spiritual crystals. I’ll go with you to take a look at the Snowfall Sect.”
Seeing Su Lingxi agree, the flush on Luo Chuxue’s face finally subsided a little.
