Chapter 896: Except Him
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When her gaze landed on Mu Feng, he felt like he was sitting on needles, but he rejected the idea of changing his words without hesitation. Jiang Wanlin’s bag had already been thrown into the water, and her name was not written on the lotus seed. It belonged to whoever got it.
Therefore, when Su Xiaolu finished asking, they fell silent and nodded. “Teacher, yes.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and said gently, “After the test, I already know who I should take as my disciple. Jiang Wanlin, Fang Lan, Wang Mingyue, prepare well when you go back and choose a day to attend the Apprentice Ceremony.”
After Su Xiaolu finished speaking, Mu Feng’s face turned completely pale. He looked up at Su Xiaolu in disbelief, his eyes filled with anger, confusion, and hatred.
Su Xiaolu looked at Mu Feng and the smile on her face disappeared. “Mu Feng, your character is shady and dark. You don’t do things properly. I’ll report what you’ve done.”
“Why? Why? What’s wrong with me? I’ve clearly plucked more than them. Why should you not accept me and slander me? Why should it be the three of them?
How am I inferior to them? This is unfair, this is not fair at all!”
The hatred in Mu Feng’s eyes surged. When Su Xiaolu said this, he knew that he had no chance. Without a chance, there was no need for him to worry about anything else. He did not care about etiquette and asked what he wanted to ask the most.
When he heard Su Xiaolu say this, he thought he had heard wrongly. He was about to go crazy.
He was already waiting happily for Su Xiaolu to say his name. He thought that Su Xiaolu had said the names of Jiang Wanlin and the others to eliminate them, but unexpectedly, Su Xiaolu had accepted all three of them except him.
“If you want an answer, when we return to the sect, I’ll invite other teachers to testify. If you think it’s unfair, let others judge if it’s fair.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Mu Feng calmly, despite his resentment.
Chen Lian’s eyes were filled with tears. She could not say a word when she looked into Su Xiaolu’s eyes. For some reason, she did not dare to say anything.
“Alright, fine. Even if I’m kicked out, I have to ask for an explanation. In the past few months, I’ve been respectful to Teacher and didn’t dare to disobey you. However, Teacher has always teased me. I’ve long sensed Teacher Su’s hostility and dislike for me. Now, I suspect from the beginning to the end, it was all a scheme. You just want to use this to deal with me and make me suffer.”
Mu Feng went all out. He had long been unwilling to lower himself in front of Su Xiaolu. Previously, he wanted to learn from her, so he endured his anger. Now, he had probably already offended her and the academy. In that case, he might as well make a scene.
Mu Feng clenched his fists and glared at Su Xiaolu angrily.
Su Xiaolu’s expression was indifferent. She did not care about his incompetence and anger at all. She looked at Mu Feng disdainfully. “Your heart is high and your life is thinner than paper. Whoever showed you kindness is unlucky. They must have killed your ancestors in their past lives to be this unlucky. You really should look in the mirror. Do you think you hid it very well?
Little do you know that I’ve seen your ugly appearance countless times.”
“Since you say that I’m deliberately punishing you, I’ll really be letting you down if I don’t do anything. You’ve been training with me for a few months, but you’re just trash who can’t even practice the sword well. You’ll never understand the trick of the way of the sword. I might as well take in a pig as a disciple.”
Su Xiaolu’s cold words were extremely sharp. Every word made Mu Feng dumbfounded. He was stunned, ashamed, and resentful. All kinds of emotions showed on his face.
Mu Feng’s hands were trembling, and his entire body was shaking uncontrollably. His eyes were red as he suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Su Xiaolu. He shouted, “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you…”
Su Xiaolu stood rooted to the ground. She closed her eyes and placed her hands behind her back. She smiled coldly. “I don’t even have to do anything to a piece of trash like you. I don’t even have to use my inner strength.”
Mu Feng’s sword could not even get close to her body. It was clearly stabbing her, but it changed direction when it touched her. Mu Feng was dazzled and thought that Su Xiaolu had cloned herself. However, when he looked carefully, Su Xiaolu had sidestepped his attack.
She didn’t even move her hand or take a step away. She avoided it so easily.
No matter how fast he was, she could dodge. She only kicked him with one foot.
She didn’t use much strength, but it made Mu Feng feel humiliated.
He blushed, straightened his neck, and waved his sword at Su Xiaolu like a madman.
Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and kicked him away.
For the last time, Su Xiaolu easily kicked his knee, causing him to fall heavily at Su Xiaolu’s feet. This time, before Mu Feng could get up, Su Xiaolu stepped on his head and rubbed his face against the ground. Mu Feng could not move at all and could not use any strength.
Su Xiaolu smiled coldly and opened her eyes. “Why? Can’t you remember what I taught you? Jiang Wanlin, tell this trash what acupuncture point I stepped on.”
“Yes, it’s the Yin acupoint, Jiao Sun acupoint, Fubai acupoint, and Tianchong acupoint, Fourth Brother acupoint.”
Jiang Wanlin replied instantly. Although she stuttered, she was clear.
Su Xiaolu’s feet were placed on these acupuncture points.
It was even possible that his other acupuncture points had also been impacted. Under the impact of multiple acupuncture points, Mu Feng was instantly stripped of all his strength and could not move. Even if his face was ferocious and his breathing was as rough as an ox, it was useless. He could only be stepped on in humiliation and could not even raise a finger.
Su Xiaolu stomped her foot a little harder. “Did you hear me clearly, trash? I’ll cripple one of your ears. This is the consequence of angering me. This is also my last lesson to you. I’m warning you to hide in your shell if you don’t have the ability in the future.”
Su Xiaolu exerted a little more force, and Mu Feng wailed.
Chen Lian immediately pounced on him. She did not dare to approach Su Xiaolu and kept kowtowing on the ground. “Teacher Su, please spare Mu Feng. Please spare him…”
Su Xiaolu looked at Chen Lian and asked coldly, “If I let him off, will you be punished for him?”
Chen Lian was speechless. She was stunned for a moment before immediately looking at Jiang Wanlin. She kowtowed and begged, “Sister Jiang, Mu Feng is your fiancé. You two grew up together. Can you bear to watch him be crippled of an ear?”
“He and I are about to break off the engagement. We’ll only be enemies in the future. How can we do something stupid for our enemies? You and Mu Feng are in cahoots and have been in love for so long. Are you unwilling to save him with just one ear? You’ll have to rely on him to enjoy life in luxury in the future.
It’s just an ear.”
Jiang Wanlin almost blurted it out. After saying it, she felt happy, especially when she saw Chen Lian’s defeated expression. She felt too good. In an instant, all the unhappiness suppressed in her heart disappeared..
