He desired to settle the score with Ziluo personally.
“It’s understandable that you’re angry. She’s just a woman. Temporarily ignore her and focus on the Anicca Race matter. We’ll address this vendetta gradually,” the First Elder advised. “There aren’t enough people left to handle it. I’ll personally handle that scoundrel Kang s.h.i.+.”
“…”
“Arrange it for tomorrow night. Also, intensify Kang Li’s medication,” the First Elder’s eyes gleamed with a murderous intent.
Kang Yan nodded.
These issues took precedence over Ziluo’s situation, prompting him to prioritize them.
News of Ziluo’s predicament swiftly circulated, leaving her somewhat apprehensive.
How did things spiral out of control like this?
Perhaps it was best to stay indoors, avoiding confrontation with Kang Yan and the First Elder.
However, her concerns proved unnecessary as she noticed that neither the First Elder nor Kang Yan took any action against her. Everything remained eerily calm.
After contemplating for a while, she surmised they probably wouldn’t dare.
Given Kang s.h.i.+’s current cultivation level, they relied on her father for additional benefits. How could they risk offending her?
With this realization, Ziluo felt no fear and confidently emerged from her house.
This time…
As she stepped outside, everyone, without exception, regarded her with peculiar glances.
After she walked away, hushed discussions commenced behind her.
Listening to the whispers fueled her fury.
The more she dwelled on it, the more incensed she became. Eventually, she decided to seek out her Little Junior Sister.
Why did Kang s.h.i.+ reject her? It must be related to this girl, right?
If that was the case, she reasoned, she didn’t matter anymore, and there shouldn’t be any obstacle.
Arrogantly, she set out to find her.
Little Junior Sister was engrossed in cultivation. When Ziluo approached, she paused her practice.
Not oblivious to the reason behind the visit, Little Junior Sister stepped forward to meet her.
To her, this was a matter of choice.
“Tell me, what do you want?” Ziluo asked contemptuously. “Someone like you isn’t worthy of Kang s.h.i.+. So be straightforward and choose something that benefits you.”
“It has nothing to do with you,” Little Junior Sister replied bluntly.
“Nothing to do with me? I’m the one who can help him. How can it have nothing to do with me?” Ziluo smirked. “It’s irrelevant for someone like you. Be sensible, take what you need, and leave, or you’ll face dire consequences. Make your choice.”
Little Junior Sister paid no attention to her provocations.
Ziluo grew infuriated at the indifference.
She initiated a forceful move, and Little Junior Sister retaliated.
During this period, Little Junior Sister’s cultivation had advanced, but she still couldn’t match Ziluo’s prowess.
Ziluo, benefiting from optimal cultivation conditions and extraordinary talent from a young age, held a significant advantage. Little Junior Sister couldn’t catch up in such a short time.
After three exchanges, Little Junior Sister gradually found herself overpowered.
After that, Little Junior Sister lay sprawled on the ground, blood streaming from the corner of her mouth.
Ziluo derived great satisfaction from witnessing this scene. Perhaps, she mused, letting Little Junior Sister perish here would erase any lingering thoughts Kang s.h.i.+ might have about her.
Such vindictive thoughts consumed Ziluo’s mind.
Fuelled by this mindset, she launched another a.s.sault.
Unable to evade, Little Junior Sister suffered severe injuries.
Attempts to intervene from bystanders were thwarted by Ziluo’s unrestrained attacks, leaving those who sought to stop her sprawled on the ground.
And in the midst of this chaos…
Kang s.h.i.+ hurriedly rushed onto the scene.
