Chapter 1531 - 1426: Bombardment
After two months, upon seeing Qin Hao again, Wang Yufei’s first emotion was anger.
Yes, anger.
She didn’t know why she was angry; it was just seeing Qin Hao returning to the Inner Sect, once again appearing in front of her in such an eye-catching way, felt like such an ironic thing.
In fact, Wang Yufei had made great progress over the past two months, even comparable to Ye Ruxue.
Yet upon seeing Qin Hao, she felt as if these two months had been wasted.
Because Qin Hao’s progress seemed no less than her own.
But the point was, she was in the Inner Sect, a True Disciple, nurtured with all of Master Chu’s resources.
Qin Hao was different, he was in the chaotic Outer Courtyard, relying solely on his solitary courage.
It’s even said that Jin Ni’Er and Jin Kui, who were beside Qin Hao, also received good fortune.
In comparison, Wang Yufei’s bit of pride and sense of superiority instantly vanished.
"Think highly of you?" Wang Yufei laughed, laughing with some anger: "In your current state, you’re not worthy of me thinking highly of you!"
"The wine is about to overflow." Su Lingfeng’s voice came as Wang Yufei held the wine pot, ready to speak, Qin Hao raised his cup and proactively offered it.
"Are you worthy of me pouring you wine?" Wang Yufei showed an angry smile, then ignored Qin Hao and left with such pride.
"Brother Qin, do you have a grudge with this Wang Yufei?" Su Lingfeng couldn’t resist asking. Because it was a matter between a man and a woman, he felt inappropriate to intervene, only now did he inquire.
"Grudge?" Qin Hao put down the empty wine cup, with a trace of sadness on his face: "Initially, we could have become friends. Alas, alas."
He too hadn’t expected that in just two months, Wang Yufei would turn into such a vain woman.
Thinking about it, it was the pressure from the Inner Sect that changed her.
"Senior Sister Lei, your Sword Attendant is quite characterful. She actually didn’t pour wine for that waste!"
Wei Zhongxun had been keeping an eye on Qin Hao constantly and felt delighted when he saw Qin Hao being snubbed by Wang Yufei.
Lei Xiuzhu glanced at Wang Yufei without showing dissatisfaction, calmly said: "Those who become my Sword Attendant naturally must have some pride."
"Of course, of course! Senior Sister Lei, possessing such a celestial talent, anyone worthy of becoming your Sword Attendant must certainly have extraordinary strength!"
After giving a flattering compliment, Wei Zhongxun glanced at Qin Hao with deep disdain: "Some garbage indeed doesn’t compare. Miss Wang is so bold in love and hatred, quite fitting to be Senior Sister Lei’s Sword Attendant!"
Amid the discussions, Wang Yufei finished pouring a round of wine and returned to Lei Xiuzhu’s side.
As soon as she sat down, Lei Xiuzhu frowned and said: "I didn’t tell you to do that."
"He doesn’t deserve to drink Senior Sister Lei’s wine." Wang Yufei noticed Lei Xiuzhu’s dissatisfaction and immediately explained.
"Next time, don’t act without my instruction." Lei Xiuzhu said sternly.
"Understood." Wang Yufei lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the ensuing time, performances continued, as people were engrossed in watching, immersed in the audiovisual feast.
During this time, over seventy percent of the people present went up to perform.
Even Wang Yufei was urged to go up and perform a dance.
This girl received ethnic dance training in the Mortal World, and danced quite gracefully, attracting some male disciples’ admiration.
Hu Boyong, as the host of the banquet, was sensible enough not to hog the limelight. He recited a poem he composed himself, with quite high level, which wouldn’t have lost to the poets of ancient times.
The last person to perform was Su Lingfeng, who originally didn’t want to go on stage, but couldn’t resist Lei Xiuzhu’s and Hu Boyong’s hospitality, so he went up and wrote a piece of calligraphy.
Su Lingfeng came from a humble family, his aim before entering Huashan was to pass the imperial exam as a top scholar, and he was known for his accomplishments with calligraphy, his strokes were strong and showed a unique style, somewhat resembling Yan Zhenqing’s script.
After Su Lingfeng finished performing, people gave him a round of applause.
As the applause subsided, Wei Zhongxun stood up and said: "Everyone’s performances are so outstanding, yet some people, why are they so incompetent? Throughout the whole event, it’s either eating or eating. Even clapping is done so feebly, it’s disgusting!"
Although he didn’t name names, people instinctively looked at Qin Hao.
As Wei Zhongxun said, in this banquet, people were keen to showcase their talents, excitedly, only Qin Hao appeared extremely indifferent.
If Wei Zhongxun hadn’t brought up, people might just think he’s being modest.
But hearing Wei Zhongxun say it, they immediately felt discontent.
"This Qin Hao, indeed has something wrong."
"Right, people came to showcase their talents, and he doesn’t take it seriously, what a buzzkill!"
"Wonder why Su Lingfeng invited him here!"
Upon hearing everyone say this, Wei Zhongxun raised his face skyward in satisfaction, shouting: "Qin Hao, everyone is saying it, won’t you come out and say a few words?"
Qin Hao heard this, shook his head indifferently: "I have nothing to say!"
"Trash!" Wei Zhongxun’s expression didn’t change, he cursed out loud: "Why do you have the face to continue staying here? If you’re still a man, you better leave now!"
Having held back all night, facing an opportunity to attack, Wei Zhongxun couldn’t hold back.
In such an occasion, being kicked out would be utterly humiliating.
Su Lingfeng was quite concerned about this, he said displeased: "Wei Zhongxun, do you intend to create trouble?"
"Su Lingfeng, I’ve already given you face once! I advise you not to meddle!" Wei Zhongxun was arrogant to the extreme, not giving face even to Su Lingfeng.
"Truly incompetent!" Others seeing this, all looked contemptuously at Qin Hao.
"Su Lingfeng sees him as a friend, protects him everywhere, yet he’s so incompetent, causing Su Lingfeng so much difficulty. Alas, this Qin Hao, simply hopeless!"
Wang Yufei looked at Qin Hao, her gaze carried a hint of mockery.
Unable to resist saying: "Qin Hao, I suggest you leave first!"
With this utterance, Lei Xiuzhu gave Wang Yufei an unhappy glare, indicating not to overshadow the host.
Wang Yufei lowered her head, her gaze flickered with displeasure, yet thinking of Qin Hao’s situation, her mind somehow felt a sense of pleasure.
"Haha! Even Junior Sister Wang can’t stand this trash anymore?" Wei Zhongxun was filled with joy at Wang Yufei’s support.
He turned his head to Qin Hao, mockingly said: "You, incompetent trash, leave now, did you hear?"
Once said, someone subconsciously echoed: "Incompetent trash, leave!"
Wang Yufei also raised her head, inwardly shouting: "Qin Hao, do you think you’re excellent just by returning to the Inner Sect? Now, what will you do?"
...
Amidst growing pressure, Su Lingfeng looked at Qin Hao full of guilt: "Junior Brother Qin, this is my fault, I shouldn’t have brought you here."
"That’s not true." Finally, Qin Hao reluctantly spoke more.
He looked intensely at Su Lingfeng, "Brother Su, don’t you think these folks’ so-called talents are quite low-level?"
