Chapter 14: Head-to-Head Confrontation

"A little girl from the mountains. How dare you be so arrogant just because you have a bit of talent? I'm a second-rank spiritual pharmacist. What can you use to fight against me?" Zhao Xue sneered.

"Uncle, I'm just a girl from the mountains who doesn't know much about etiquette. I just want to have a match with you. Uncle, you're not scared, are you?"

These two were truly at odds with each other, head-to-head in a full confrontation.

Zhao Zheng was extremely worried. He quickly walked up to Zhao Shuning and said, "Shuning, your father doesn't know when you awakened your spiritual power. But you've just reached the first rank. It's simply impossible for you to fight against a second-rank spiritualist."

Moreover, Zhao Xue had been at the second rank for many years and even had a chance to break through to the third rank. Since Shuning had just injured Zhao Xiangxiang, Zhao Xue was just looking for a chance to teach her a lesson and would surely show no mercy.

"Father, constantly running away won't solve anything. If we don't fight for ourselves, we'll always be looked down upon." At this moment, Zhao Shuning was filled with fighting spirit, her eyes burning brightly.

"Shuning!"

"Father, you can go down. Your child will surely get justice for you and elder brother."

Looking at his child's stubborn figure, Zhao Zheng seemed to see his younger self.

When young, one always thinks life is easy; only in youth does one realize how hard it is to establish a career. If one calculates everything carefully, everything will go wrong; if one steps back and thinks, everything will seem difficult.

Now, he had actually become the most cowardly version of himself.

His daughter was only four years old, yet she had such lofty aspirations, while he only knew how to run away.

By calculating gains and losses so carefully, he had completely lost his former ambition.

Zhao Shuning's determination to fight against Zhao Xue was actually out of her love for the family.

In her previous life, the only person by her side was her master, Yan Ruyu, the imperial master, who was extremely powerful in the magical system, incredibly handsome, and of an extremely noble status.

Her master was always cold to her, which made Ye Ling's childhood lack a lot of fun. She didn't know how to get along with others, so she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the study of spiritual power and combat skills.

A person like her master, who only existed in legends, always had a cold and emotionless face; there would never be a second expression.

Now, it had been more than four years since Ye Ling died. Would her master miss her as much as she missed him?

Amidst all these thoughts, Zhao Shuning looked at her relatives below the stage, her eyes gradually growing deeper.

Now, she had an upright father, a gentle mother, and an elder brother who doted on her. Since they were her family, she would spare no effort to protect them.

At this moment, Old Master Zhao was still worried. He instructed Zhao Xue, "Xiaoning is your niece and also my granddaughter of the Zhao family. You mustn't hurt her!"

"Father, I know."

Although Zhao Xue said so, his hands under his robe were already clenched into hard fists.

He would never show mercy. If he didn't teach that girl a lesson, wouldn't the pain that Xiangxiang had suffered earlier be in vain?

In an instant, a blue light flashed in Zhao Xue's hand. Slowly, the blue light gathered into a fireball, making crackling sounds.

Even the people around could feel the power contained in the blue fireball.

Zhao Zheng was anxious. "Zhao Xue, how dare you use such a high-level magical spiritual power against a four-year-old child!"

"It's just a friendly match, elder brother. Why are you so anxious?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blue fireball was thrown towards where Zhao Shuning was standing.

Everyone took a deep breath. Some timid people even covered their eyes and didn't dare to watch.

With Zhao Shuning's agility, she should be able to dodge it.

But she just stood there, watching the fireball flying towards her without any intention of dodging.

Zhao Huai was shocked. Ignoring the pain in his chest, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "Xiaoning'er, get out of the way!"

Zhao Shuning remained expressionless and spread out her hands.

She actually wanted to face this attack head-on!
