Zhao Shuning's provocation had truly enraged the Meng father and son.
Thanks to Fei Yang from the Extreme Cold Hall, they were able to hold the position of deacons in the Misty Rain Tower. Although their abilities were not outstanding, their positions were there, and no one dared to openly provoke them.
Unexpectedly, today, they were scolded by a five - year - old girl.
Meng Hao couldn't swallow this humiliation, so he immediately attacked.
By this time, he was blinded by his emotions and no longer cared about the difference between elder and younger.
All he knew was that at this moment, he wanted to kill that girl named Zhao Shuning.
The palm wind from the opposite side was extremely fierce. Seeing this, Zhao Shuning quickly dodged. However, she was only a second - rank elixir master at present, and there was still a huge gap in strength compared to a third - rank one.
Although she was agile and managed to avoid it barely, the fierce momentum of the palm wind still scratched a cut on her arm. Soon, the blood on her arm soaked through her clothes.
It was a pity that the armor could only protect the main organs of the body, while her arm was only covered with ordinary clothes.
When the blood gushed out, Zhao Shuning also felt the stinging pain in her nerves.
Sure enough, in terms of martial power, the level division was extremely strict. As a second - rank elixir master, if she wanted to deal with a third - rank one, she would surely suffer a great deal more than this.
"Little bitch, you dodge quite fast."
"However, let's see how you dodge my next move."
The old man put his hands in front of him and formed a spiritual seal out of thin air. The spiritual seal in front of him grew bigger and bigger, and its color kept changing between green and red.
"Deacon Meng, Shuning is still young. As an elder, how can you use such a technique on her?"
But at this moment, Meng Hao completely ignored the looks from the outside world.
Now, he just wanted to kill Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning frowned tightly. Obviously, she recognized Meng Hao's technique, the Green Glow Transformation!
It was a skill that only a third - rank elixir master could summon. Once Meng Hao released it, Zhao Shuning didn't know if her current body could withstand it.
It seemed that she could only use the mental power suppression of an alchemist.
Although Zhao Shuning didn't want to expose her identity as an alchemist prematurely for fear of arousing the envy of many people, but now, in order to save her life, she had to take a chance.
The little girl closed her eyes. During meditation, just as she was about to convert her mental power to her hands, she suddenly felt that the energy fluctuation of the oncoming Green Glow Transformation suddenly disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, she quickly put away the mental power of the alchemist.
She opened her eyes, wanting to see what had happened.
What came into view was a teenager about sixteen years old.
He was wearing a crescent - colored robe embroidered with gorgeous patterns in green silk. His long black hair was scattered on the white robe. He only tied the front part of his hair behind his head with a white ribbon. His three - dimensional facial features, as if carved by a knife, exuded a cold aura. His thin lips were pursed beautifully, and his deep eyes were unfathomable.
There was a faint luster flowing on his skin. His nose was straight, his lips were as red as cinnabar, and his skin was as smooth as coagulated fat.
For a moment, Zhao Shuning almost mistook the white - robed teenager in front of her for Zhao Huai.
The teenager turned around and smiled at Zhao Shuning. His beautiful eyes formed an arc. Zhao Shuning sincerely sighed from the bottom of her heart. How could a man be so beautiful?
If she hadn't seen the peerless beauty of her master, Zhao Shuning would have almost thought that the most beautiful people in the Eastern Ze Great Wilderness were not as good - looking as the white - robed teenager in front of her.
His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be somewhat similar to someone from the past, but Zhao Shuning couldn't think of who it was for a moment.
"Are you okay?"
Zhao Shuning shook her head. Obviously, she didn't know this teenager. But judging from the previous situation, it was this teenager who blocked Meng Hao's Green Glow Transformation for her. This teenager had helped her.
The white - robed teenager turned around with relief. When the Meng father and son saw this person, they were both shocked and knelt down in a hurry.
"Your Highness, the Young Master."
The Young Master? Who on earth was he? And why did he help her?
The teenager looked at the crowd in front of him and said gently, "Deacon Meng, go and receive your punishment."
"Your Highness?"
"Does this palace need to say it a second time?"
The Meng father and son didn't dare to say a word. The white - robed teenager in front of them was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
"Alright, everyone disperse. Go back to your own business."
Zhao Shuning was stunned. Power was of crucial importance. She had resisted desperately before, but it had no effect at all. However, this white - robed teenager in front of her had just said a few words lightly, and the whole thing had been reversed.
The crowd carried on with the registration in an orderly manner as if nothing had happened.
Those old students didn't dare to bully the new students under the teenager's nose anymore. It seemed that the little girl had a close relationship with the Young Master, and they didn't dare to provoke her anymore.
Just as Zhao Shuning was about to leave, she was called by the white - robed teenager behind her.
She turned around and looked at him puzzledly.
The teenager just said softly, "Come with me."
For some reason, Zhao Shuning, who was usually very vigilant, had no defense against this teenager at this moment. Or perhaps the teenager's smile was so gentle that she unconsciously fell into it and felt that a person like him should be kind.
She followed the white - robed teenager all the way into the inner room.
After the teenager arranged for Zhao Shuning to sit down, he took out some wound - healing medicine from behind.
"Stretch out your hand. I saw that your palm was also injured a lot."
Zhao Shuning didn't stretch out her hand. She looked at the white - robed teenager in front of her warily, "Why did you help me? Why are you so nice to me?"
The teenager just smiled, "I can't protect you for long. I just happened to pass by the Misty Rain Tower today. You'll have to walk your own path in the future."
Zhao Shuning frowned and asked again, "You haven't answered my question."
"Does it matter? Isn't it enough that I have no ill intentions towards you?"
Zhao Shuning looked into those extremely clean eyes and suddenly smiled. She believed him. With a pair of eyes like a sea of stars, Zhao Shuning believed that he wouldn't lie.
"I want to know your name."
"A name is just a code. It's not important."
"Why did you help me? This question is very important to me."
The white - robed teenager smiled and said gently, "Maybe because your personality is very similar to an old acquaintance of mine."
She was always so reckless and stubborn. As long as it wasn't her fault, she would never admit it and would never take the blame. She could have taken a step back and avoided such a severe punishment, but she never retreated. And the little girl in front of him was very much like her back then.
"Alright, you can go now."
