Chapter 106: Tear Apart All Pretences

Chapter 106: Tear Apart All Pretences

As soon as Xin Ying Xuans words fell, everyones gazes fell on Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan raised her head, her eyes as indifferent as before, and her voice was cold: Young Miss Xin must have mythomania.

Starting from Shi Feng asking for pills, she had already decided on gifting pills.

With how she took out so many Spiritual Energy Replenishing Pills earlier to use, she naturally attracted the attention of the people in the Ten Distinguished Clans. Instead of hiding it and tucking it away, it was better to gift them out generously. Aside from the Xue Clan and Xin Clan, the pupils in the other Clans bore no hostility towards her, not to mention any grudges. On one hand she bought peoples hearts and on the other hand, it was a kind of intimidation.

Except for people close to her, everyone else all thought that her pills came from that mysterious Master. Being able to produce so many Grade 2 Spiritual Energy Replenishing Pills was also a way to tell everyone that the Master no one had seen before pampered her very much. Those who wanted to target her and the Lou Clan should weigh their consequences first.

She wasnt afraid of provoking anyone, but if she could use a tigers skin to be her banner¹, then she naturally wouldnt be so stupid as to tell everyone that the pills were refined by herself and that there simply wasnt any mysterious Master behind her.

Xin Ying Xuan was choked by Lou Mu Yans words, especially when she saw Ye Qing Han cast a cold and displeased look at her. Her entire chest felt ablaze with anger and jealousy almost made her lose all reason and go up to tear Lou Mu Yan apart.

If you dont look down on the Xin Clan, then why did you gift pills to the Ten Distinguished Clans, all but the Xin Clan and Xue Clan? Xin Ying Xuan was able to get along so well in the Xin Clan like fish in water not only because of her father. She was wild and arrogant but wasnt completely brainless. After thinking a little, she suppressed the anger in her chest and pulled the Xue Clan down the water together.

After hearing Xin Ying Xuans words, both the Xin Clan and the Xue Clans pupils revealed indignant expressions. By doing this, Lou Mu Yan was literally slapping the faces of their two Clans.

Thats right! I also want to know why Young Miss Lou would treat our two Clans so discriminatorily? Xue Lings beautiful and exquisite face revealed a touch of befuddlement, but she sneered inwardly that Lou Mu Yan was an idiot. If it were her, even if she disliked someone very much, she still wouldnt do such a thing such as blatantly offending two Clans.

Mu Yi stopped the steps he was taking to leave, then took a step back with great interest, wanting to see how Lou Mu Yan would deal with it.

Lou Mu Yans eyes were still indifferent, and her tone was faint, Am I familiar with the Xin Clan and Xue Clan? Why must I gift you guys pills?

Seeing the indignant gazes of the pupils of the two Clans, she sneered and said: Just how much effort your two Clans put in during the battle earlier is clear to everyone, so why must you openly discuss it and find unhappiness in it for yourselves?

Young Miss Lou, you mustve spoken incorrectly? Xue Ling brushed away the dust on her sleeves and said coldly: The group of Fire Ants besieged you, but we kindly went up to help you. Regardless of how much effort we put in, its still a show of our good will. Who wouldve thought that it was our fault now, and even made you hate us.

Young Miss Xue really is a master of inverting black and white. I am ashamed that I am inferior.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Xue Ling, the coldness in her eyes not concealed at all, Was that group of Fire Ants besieging me at first? From the very beginning, we, from Yanzhou Kingdom, were the first to help and rescue you guys from the siege. It shouldnt even be your turn if were discussing good will, right?

Furthermore, the pills are my own. Ill give it to whoever I like. I just simply think that youre not pleasing to the eye, so I dont want to gift it, so where comes the favouring someone and discriminating against another?

The situation of Xue Ling annulling the engagement between her and Ling Fei Yang was known by all. She just simply considered this woman not pleasing to her eyes and she was even less afraid to speak it out loud and offend this extremely hypocritical woman.

Lou Mu Yan, are you trying to tear apart all pretences with the Xin and Xue Clan? Xin Ying Xuan saw how clever Lou Mu Yan was with her words, and how Xue Lings skills with her mouth simply wasnt her opponent, so she didnt want to go in circles anymore, directly bringing out the Xin and Xue Clan. She just didnt believe that this woman wouldnt have any fear against them.

Seeing that Xin Ying Xuan took the initiative to take on the conversation again, Xue Lin swallowed what she wanted to say, but the killing intent in her eyes kept circulating.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled, and there werent any ripples in her eyes as she spoke gently, completely indifferent: You say tear apart all pretences, then lets tear apart all pretences, you think Ill be afraid?

Youre seeking death! Xin Ying Xuan didnt expect that Lou Mu Yan would openly challenge the Xin and Xue Clan, and a flush of red appeared on her face, obviously angered.

Meanwhile Lou Mu Yan just sat there indifferently and calmly, without a trace of fear or hesitation on her face.

Even while facing Xin Ying Xuans use of the two Distinguished Clans to oppress her, her expression still didnt change. That natural, nonchalant attitude was as if she were simply discussing about the weather today with Xin Ying Xuan, and it sure made many people look at her with new eyes and increased respect.

But there were also a small number of people that disagreed with her lofty stance. Although Xin Ying Xuan provoked first, but Lou Mu Yan publicly not giving Xue Ling and Xin Ying Xuan any face was equivalent to slapping the two Clans faces. Such behaviour was a bit too insolent.

Seeking death? Young Miss Xin wants to raise your hand at me now? I know I offended you in Glacial City, so just take it directly out on me, why make a fuss about pills. Ill just accept your challenge. Lou Mu Yan said with slight dominance and boldness, and her eyes even revealed a look of come get me.

She had already offended this narrow-hearted woman when she and Xin Ying Xuan were competing for that stone in Glacial City. Not to mention the fact that Ye Qing Hans attitude towards her also made Xin Ying Xuan constantly reveal a sliver of killing intent towards her as well.

The disagreement between the Xin Clan and the Ling Clan was already known by all. The Ling Clan was her maternal clan, so they were destined to hold grudges with the Xin Clan. So why did she have to pretend to be a steamed bun² and endure it?

And towards the Xue Clan and Xue Ling, she wasnt bothered with the superficiality of it all even more. The Xue Clan and the Ling Clan were already like fire and water, and all they were lacking was actually fighting. How could she enhance other peoples spirit and diminish her prestige³, so if she lowered her head to the Xue Clan, it was the same as slapping Ling Clans face.

After hearing Lou Mu Yans words, many people revealed expressions of understanding. No wonder Xin Ying Xuan had always been hostile to Lou Mu Yan. It turned out that it wasnt only because of Ye Qing Han. If the two had already held grudges against each other, then with Xin Ying Xuans temperament, it would be difficult for her to let Lou Mu Yan go.

Meanwhile everyone knew why Lou Mu Yans attitude towards the Xue Clan wasnt good. In fact, if she deliberately bowed her head and catered to the Xue Clan, then that would make people feel contempt towards her. Although the act of not giving any face was a little arrogant, but it could be regarded as filling the Ling Clans face.

Lou Mu Yan, are you certain you want to go against me? Xin Ying Xuan asked fiercely as the rage within her was reaching the brink, only wanting to vent it out using force. As long as Lou Mu Yan dared to say yes, she would immediately handicap her.

Xin Ying Xuan, so what if I go against you? Our Ling Clan arent vegetarians⁴. Ling Fei Hao snapped the branch in his hand and looked at Xin Ying Xuan as he said coldly.

Ye Qing Le also walked to Lou Mu Yans side, staring coldly at Xin Ying Xuan and Xue Ling, revealing a rare grim expression, and said: Elder Sister Mu Yan was besieged by Fire Ants to save me. If you have any complains, you can direct it to me and our Ye Clan will accompany you at any time.

Since the two women opposite used the Xue Clan and Xin Clan to pressure Lou Mu Yan, Ye Qing Le also unconsciously mentioned the Ye Clan. Since theyre threatening, why not everyone do it together, whos afraid of who?

Ye Qing Le, this is between us and Lou Mu Yan, what do you mean by sticking a leg into this business⁵? Xin Ying Xuan had never only hated Xue Ling that one woman, but also Ye Qing Le who had never had a good attitude towards her. Now she added another Lou Mu Yan.

Ye Qing Le put her hands on her little pretty waist, raised an eyebrow and said: Elder Sister Mu Yans business will be my business from now on. If you dare bully her one bit, Ill pay you back tenfold.

After she finished speaking fiercely while glaring, she turned to Ye Qing Han to seek praise and said: Right, Elder Brother!

Ye Qing Han thought it funny as he clenched his fist, brought it to his mouth and coughed into it. Then he nodded solemnly: Lou Mu Yan is our Ye Clans benefactor. Whoever touches her is equivalent to opposing our Ye Clan.

His words were also announcing to everyone that from now on, whoever dared touch Lou Mu Yan would become an enemy of the Ye Clan.
