Chapter 43 - 43
Ming Fan cheered, "Little apprentice-sister, great hit!"
Ning Yingying said weakly, "...no, it actually wasn't me..."
Ming Fan encouraged, "Don't be afraid—if you hit her then you hit her! Everyone saw that she started it. Even though other people haven't hurt her out of the kindness of their hearts, she still launched a sneak attack on them. Serves her right!" All of the Qing Jing Peak disciples chimed in.
Glistening teardrops glimmered in the Young Palace Mistress' eyes. "You... you guys... how dare you hit me... my dad hasn't even hit me before!"
Ning Yingying, "No, it really wasn't me..."
Ming Fan cut her off and spat, "You're the one who hit her! Remember, if the Qing Jing Peak's disciples are being bullied, we must return it twofold! If we don't, we're unworthy of Shizun's teachings!"
Shen Qingqiu cheered in his mind with the rest of the disciples: this child Ming Fan really took his teachings to heart. Right right right, it was exactly like this: an eye for an eye!
Shen Qingqiu stealthily slipped into the crowd of Huan Hua Palace disciples and finally caught that howling, shrieking old cat. No matter how stupid they were, they should still be able to tell that something wasn't right. The Young Palace Mistress cupped her big red cheeks, which looked to be extremely cumbersome, and stared at him with a surge of resentment. "Hey! Who exactly are you? You have the audacity to make fun of me like this?"
The Huan Hua Palace disciples encircled him completely and shouted, "Palace Mistress is asking you a question!"
Shen Qingqiu bent down and released the cat. When he straightened, he pointed at the disciple that was hunched over, lurking in the very back. He said, "Why aren't you guys asking who that is?"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on that person.
