The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Qin Hao left, leaving with decisive grace, yet behind him was a scene of shock.

The four fellow sect members sat dumbfounded in place.

"Haha, this Master Qin really has character... haha..."

It wasn’t until City Lord He Xi awkwardly laughed and spoke that the group snapped back to reality.

"That little bastard! How dare he act so arrogantly! I’ll beat him to death!" Luo Yong was filled with rage, as if he were the one insulted.

Bang!

Huang Cuicui slammed the table, standing up furiously, "I’ve been in the sect for so long, and I’ve never been humiliated like this! I won’t let Chu Xi off!"

"Junior Sister, why don’t I go beat him up for you right now!" Luo Yong volunteered, looking at Lei Xiuzhu: "Senior Sister, please allow me to do so!"

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to walk out of the dining room.

But Lei Xiuzhu called out, "Stop."

Luo Yong halted, looking at Lei Xiuzhu in confusion.

The others also looked at Lei Xiuzhu in bewilderment.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lei Xiuzhu felt extremely conflicted.

As the daughter of the Sect Leader, she had been doted on by everyone from a young age.

Seniors adored her whenever they saw her.

Among her peers, who wouldn’t follow her lead?

Yet today, Chu Xi had the audacity to point at her nose and curse at her.

This was the first time Lei Xiuzhu experienced such a situation.

And because she had no experience, she was dumbfounded by the scolding earlier.

Now that she realized it, she was naturally extremely angry.

She was so enraged that she wanted to use her Thunder Skill to strike Chu Xi dead.

But upon thinking it over, she realized she and Huang Cuicui might have gone too far.

Chu Xi might be foolish, but he was still a fellow sect member.

Openly humiliating him at the dining table was inherently wrong.

He had a reason to be angry.

Realizing this, Lei Xiuzhu decided not to trouble Chu Xi, but the harsh insults still left her feeling angry.

So, Lei Xiuzhu spoke coldly, "Don’t bother with that fool. Let him stew for a few days and see. If he doesn’t come to apologize, we can ignore him. Once we complete the mission, we return to the sect without crediting his share of the task."

Upon this, Ma Ji had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Although Luo Yong was displeased, he wasn’t the one directly involved and had nothing more to say, only grumbling, "Not thrashing him seems too lenient..."

Only Huang Cuicui remained sullen, sparks of fury in her eyes, murmuring, "That ugly freak dared to humiliate me; I won’t let him off easily! I’ll deal with that ugly freak once we’re back at the sect!"

"Haha, my Immortal Masters, please don’t be upset. I’ll just have the servants prepare another meal for you..." He Xi appeared uncomfortable, seemingly brooding over the ruined banquet atmosphere.

He ordered the butler, "Hurry and call the chef to prepare another round of dishes, and make them good!"

"Yes!"

The butler responded and left.

Yet Lei Xiuzhu stood up, "City Lord He Xi, there’s no need for that now. I don’t feel like eating tonight."

"I don’t have the appetite either." Huang Cuicui and the others stood up as well.

After such a disturbance, everyone felt irritable, with no mood to eat.

"Everyone, if you don’t eat something... I feel truly sorry..." He Xi showed an expression of self-reproach.

"It’s fine, just tell me where our accommodations are; I’d like to return to my room." Lei Xiuzhu, feeling agitated, just wanted to return and rest. After all, cultivators have slight Fasting abilities, especially those in the Innate Realm; going three days without food wouldn’t affect their strength.

"Alright then..." He Xi couldn’t insist and arranged for servants to lead the way.

Led by the servants, Lei Xiuzhu and the others arrived at a relatively secluded courtyard.

In the courtyard stood a towering tree, beneath which was an ancient well. Not far away, in the flower bushes, fireflies fluttered about.

Admittedly, the ambiance of this private room was quite nice.

"Immortal Masters, these four private rooms are similar, so you can..."

The head servant slowly began to speak.

"You may leave; we’ll choose ourselves."

Lei Xiuzhu finished speaking, then looked at Huang Cuicui and the others: "I’ll choose the first room, and if there’s nothing urgent, don’t disturb me. I don’t like being bothered."

"Yes!" The three nodded in unison, and only then did Lei Xiuzhu enter the first room.

Bam, as the door closed, Huang Cuicui’s timid expression turned into one of resentment and anger: "Senior Brother Ma, I still feel uneasy!"

"Ah!" Ma Ji sighed, knowing his junior sister was harboring a grudge over the Chu Xi incident.

"Junior Sister Huang, should I go and prank him for you?" At this point, Luo Yong started scheming again.

In fact, he had admired Huang Cuicui for a long time, and now with a chance to curry favor, how could he miss it?

"What kind of prank?" Huang Cuicui’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, the senior sister instructed not to harm that fool, but did not say pranking was off-limits?

"That fool looks superstitious, definitely afraid of ghosts. Why don’t we pose as ghosts in the middle of the night to scare him?" Luo Yong revealed a wicked grin: "If we put on a good show, that guy will be scared out of his wits!"

"Great! Many thanks in advance, Senior Brother Luo!" Huang Cuicui was overjoyed, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

"Ah!" Ma Ji saw this and knew he couldn’t stop the two, so he could only pray for Qin Hao, hoping he wouldn’t be too terribly frightened.

...

Lei Xiuzhu glanced around the private room, feeling somewhat satisfied.

She kicked off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to attempt cultivation.

Nighttime.

The private room was silent.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lei Xiuzhu abruptly opened her eyes, annoyance evident in her gaze.

"With my mind in turmoil, I can’t meditate at all; what should I do!" she murmured, the irritation in her eyes more pronounced.

To meditate and cultivate requires a calm and focused mind. Currently, her mind was restless, constantly thinking about the matter with Chu Xi, unable to absorb Spiritual Qi, leaving her both frustrated and angry.

"Forget it! No cultivation today, I’ll just sleep first!" Helpless, Lei Xiuzhu decided to take a lazy day, lying down, pulling up the quilt, attempting to sleep.

But for some reason, her mind was a chaotic mess, always conjuring that ugly face of Chu Xi.

After an unknown length of time, Lei Xiuzhu sat up straight in anger.

"Damn!" The usually refined Lei Xiuzhu rarely cursed but did so now.

Unable to resist, she punched the bed, "An hour has already passed, and I still can’t sleep, what on earth should I do!"

Unable to cultivate or sleep, this awkward situation was novel to Lei Xiuzhu, leaving her feeling overwhelmed.

"Forget it, I’ll just go for a walk in the courtyard! Maybe then sleepiness will come!"

Heaving a sigh, Lei Xiuzhu got out of bed, put on her shoes, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard.

It was now midnight, the hanging moon bright, its pristine light draping the courtyard in a layer of white gauze, breathtakingly beautiful.
