The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 55 - Just Chop Their Heads Off

Just as she was about to leave her courtyard, Lin Xiaofei paused in her steps and looked above.

She didn't know why but her senses told her that someone's eyes has been following her since she left the grounds of Hong Pei Lou.

However, because she was no expert or maybe, the person who has been following her was extremely skilled at hiding their presence, she was unable to confirm her suspicion.

While she was looking upward, Qu Xing Xu was lying on his side as he looked down on her figure from another courtyard's roof next to her courtyard.

After hearing her footsteps walking out of her courtyard, he decided to quickly transfer to another courtyard's roof to avoid being found.

Remembering how she had mentioned about him having someone to tail her, Qu Xing Xu knew he couldn't underestimate her. He can't recklessly make someone follow her again.

With her fiery red dress swaying along with the winter wind, the young female he was interested in didn't look like a mortal and only looked like she came out of a portrait of a goddess.

At first, he was intrigued by her brave actions that exceed what a normal high noble young lady would do, for example; her visiting the brothel where they first met. At that time, she had already captured his interest when their eyes met.

And his curiosity grew even more when they had their few exchanges of words inside the restaurant he owned. Her eyes that were filled with venom and hatred of the world made him want to know more about her. He wondered what kind of thoughts were inside her pretty little mind and even tried to predict her next actions.

But alas, she was unpredictable and formidable.

No one knows what exactly is in her mind and he never got to know what happened in the auction house. How this lady was so brave and frightening when she ordered a child to burn the auction house.

With a hand over his mouth, Qu Xing Xu's black eyes slanted like Fox's eyes as his smile widened further as he couldn't wait to see more of what kind of entertainment she would show to him.

She was too amusing to him that he wanted her to be in front of his eyes every day. Just thinking about other people seeing this side of her was making him want to gouge their eyes out and feed them to the dogs.

Behind him, a man wearing an all-black from head to toe was shivering from fear as he was an expert and he could taste the raw killing-intent oozing out from his master like it was a sharp knife grazing against his neck.

He swallowed hard and gathered what courage he had left in his bone to speak to his master, "Master."

He also didn't dare speak out of turn and waited for Qu Xing Xu to acknowledge his presence and when he did, the man clad in black said, "There are some problems that came up in the residence and urgently needed master's guidance."

"I'm quite engaged in something more important. Go and solve it yourselves, do whatever you see fit…" Said Qu Xing Xu who glanced at him and raised a brow, "Or is the problem too big for you, to not even solve it?"

The man clad in black shook his head nervously, fearing that a slip of his tongue and a wrong word said will be the end of him.

"It is not a big problem, master. However, we still need your presence back in the residence since we don't know what to do with this problem." The man clad in black said with his head lowered.

"Then, just chop their heads off. That way, that problem won't be able to disturb me from my matters.Just get rid of the nuisance" Qu Xing Xu waved his hand and turned to look down at the young female in a red dress, he found her figure no longer there and the place she was standing on was empty.

…

When Lin Xiaofei entered the main courtyard, she saw several people were already seated on either side of the hall.

The seats that were reserved for the family members of the Lin family were all occupied aside from the seat just below and to the right of Lin Xiaomeng.

The people who were sitting on their seats and was busy having a merry chat with the people nearby them stopped as soon as they laid their eyes on her and her red dress.

Like a breeze of cold winter air, they all fell silent as they couldn't keep their eyes from staring at the immortal who appeared in the main courtyard.

However, the Lin family who had seen Lin Xiaofei more often recovered quickly and covered up their strange posture by raising a cup of tea to wet their lips and avoid looking at her.

Unfortunately, the guests who came to the Lin residence did the otherwise, and with their mouths hanging open, their eyes followed her slim figure as she walked to the center of the hall.

Bowing slightly to her grandfather, Lin Xiaofei greeted him, "Good morning, Grandfather," after saying that, Lin Xiaofei didn't do what she was supposed to do as a younger person and didn't bow to the other people to greet them.

She slowly and gracefully sat on the chair that was for her to seat on and with a smile yet, not a smile on her lips, she slowly swept her eyes at the faces of the people in the hall.

As the entire hall fell into silence at her arrival, a scoff from someone made everyone turn their heads, and then, they saw a young lady from across Lin Xiaofei's chair tilting her chin up as she spoke.

"Aren't you being too rude, Fourth Young Miss? You saw my father and mother in front of you and didn't even greet them. I wonder where you learned your manners." The young lady dropped the first attack.
