Chapter 36: Enemies Meeting
Ai Li wasnt part of the aristocracy like Alan Duo, but her familys wealth was on par with those from an aristocratic family. Alan Duo was friendly with Ai Li for one reason, and that was to benefit from Ai Lis wealth. Her younger cousin was very generous with her money and often sent her presents, which she enjoyed. She recognized Ai Lis usefulness so didnt mind treating the other as though they were equals.
Of course I know her. Remember when I told you about the girl that embarrassed me in An Lou city? Thats her! Hatred was evident in her eyes. Ai Li was pampered and coddled since she was a baby, so encountering someone dared defeat and embarrass her was unbearable, a feeling she had no experience in handling. It was fortunate her bodyguards came shortly after and freed her before any of men on the streets took advantage of her. The thought of being touched by those pigs filled her heart with explosive anger. All those people they had stood and laughed at her!
Alan Duos mood improved. It turned out they had the same enemy. She put a sound barrier up around them before speaking. The one I told you that eavesdropped on us it was her too. Not only that, but she injured all of us. Shes really vicious.
To Ai Lin, Alan Duo was a sweet tempered and dear friend. It pained her to know that her friend was abused and injured. Both of them had suffered under the hands of the same person.
Alan Duos two admirers glared at Feng Wu with undisguised hatred. Both shared the same thoughts: Now that the fire guy isnt here well punish her for hurting Alan Duo!
Alan Duo, this girl hurt you and your friends before. Why dont we take this chance to teach her a lesson! Their heart pounded with excitement, however it was quickly dashed by Alan Duo, who stopped them from attacking.
Seeing that they were reluctant to give up the opportunity she explained, Were in the middle of the assessment right now. Well be disqualified if its discovered we attacked another student candidate. Alan Duo wasnt an impulsive person and had already considered the repercussions. Although she was also reluctant to lose such a good opportunity, she wasnt willing to jeopardize her assessment. The girl in front of her had made her eat such a big slice of humiliation, of course she wanted revenge! She had to think of a way to ruin the other party.
After the reminder the two boys came back to their senses. In the half month since their arrival they only found a sword and two sword skills. That left four people unaccounted for. In fact they were heading towards the mountain in hopes of either finding more magical items or more sword skills.
Instead of finding what they needed, they ran into Feng Wu. It made them so excited that they forgot their original goal. It was fortunate Alan Duo reminded them, else they would have killed her and been disqualified.
The two boys looked at Alan Duo with gratitude. She smiled shyly at them before dropping her eyes. The two of them were so stupid. Such a simple matter and they couldnt even figure it out themselves? If it hadnt been for them being useful to her, she wouldn't have bothered with the reminder.
Then what should we do? Let her go? Ai Li was also reluctant.
Alan Duo thought for a moment before speaking. Of course not. Well follow and wait for our chance.
She was the leader of the group so everyone agreed. Because of the sound barrier, she wasnt worried about Feng Wu overhearing.
As for Feng Wu, even if she heard she wouldnt have cared. Her focus was on the meat bun in her hand. It was really delicious.
The carriage reached the mountain range marked on the old parchment map several hours later. Noticing this, Feng Wu called out to the driver to have him stop. She jumped out of carriage and pulled out the map to orient herself in the right direction before setting out.
Behind her Ai Li screamed. You saw that!? She had a treasure map!
Yeah. Yeah. It has to be a treasure map. Why else would she come all the way out here? One of the boys spoke as a fire burned in his heart at the thought of the treasure map.
Ai Li and the other three girls were also similarly excited. In total they needed four magic items. If they could steal one or two from Feng Wu they would surely all pass.
The driver looked at the lot of them standing by the door. They looked like they wanted to get off, yet they hadnt moved. You all, if you want to get off then get off. I have to keep moving.
The appearance of the treasure map made them forget where they were. With the drivers reminder all seven rushed out of the car, moving in the same direction as Feng Wu.
Hey! I said you all-- He didnt think they would jump out and run away so fast. He didnt get to finish his sentence. Ah I was going to warn them about the Ice Birds. Whyd they run out so fast? The driver sighed before driving off. He would have reminded Feng Wu too but she was also too fast.
Alan Duo and her group chased after Feng Wu, intent on their goal, while the missed reminder destined them for tragedy.
