Luo Feiyan couldn't utter a single word at this moment.
Half of her face was swollen.
Her jaw was dislocated.
Blood kept oozing out.
The long wound on her arm, even if it healed, would surely leave a long scar later.
But faced with such bullying, she could do nothing.
At this moment, Luo Feiyan hated her own cowardice and even more hated that she couldn't possess a bit of spiritual power. Now, she couldn't even resist.
"What do you think you can compete with me with?"
"Just because of your face that could topple kingdoms?"
Wu Xuan picked up the sharp sword beside her and gently tapped Luo Feiyan's face with it. The cold black iron made Luo Feiyan's body tremble involuntarily.
What was she going to do?
"If it weren't for this face, do you think Qing Yan would take a fancy to you? Let me tell you, I've been annoyed with you for a long time. If it weren't for the explicit regulations in the academy that forbid disciples from fighting and killing each other, you would have been dead the moment you stepped into my courtyard."
Luo Feiyan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
But her fists were tightly clenched.
"The Changkong Academy has strict academic discipline. I don't know what's wrong with the elders this year. A student like you who doesn't understand spiritual power or mental strength at all could actually become an inner - court disciple and live in the same courtyard as me, Wu Xuan."
"Luo Feiyan, what can you rely on in the Changkong Academy? Your proud family's influence? Or your fake kindness?"
"Here, you have to prove yourself with strength. What your parents didn't teach you, I, Wu Xuan, will teach you well today. People like you who don't understand spiritual power and mental strength only deserve to shine our shoes. Do you understand?"
Luo Feiyan's eyes were no longer gentle.
At this moment, for the first time, there was anger and hatred in her heart.
This world was completely different from what her mother had said.
It was not beautiful at all. It was full of intrigue. She was kind and friendly to others, but in their hearts, they were thinking about how to trample her under their feet.
Luo Feiyan hated.
She hated Wu Xuan.
She hated everyone present.
But she had no way to resist.
The weak were destined to be at the bottom.
"I wonder what's in that empty head of yours. Tsk, tsk, tsk - what a waste of such a beautiful face."
Wu Xuan put down her hand.
Then she wiped her hand on the part of Luo Feiyan's clothes that wasn't stained with blood.
She said in disgust, "Don't look at me with that kind of look. It would be as easy as pie for me to kill you. If it weren't for the academy's regulations, you wouldn't have lived until now."
"I - I've never done anything wrong to you."
With her jaw dislocated,
Luo Feiyan could only make a muffled sound, and her words were not very clear.
"Your mistake is that you shouldn't have dared to dream of rising to a higher position. People like you should just stay in a golden cage and be a canary. How could you still dream of seeking food among tigers? Also, Luo Feiyan, you should remember that for some things, even if you see them, you don't have to say them out. I, Wu Xuan, hate being threatened the most."
Wu Xuan stepped on Luo Feiyan's body and kept grinding her foot.
Did she really hate being threatened?
No. It was just because Luo Feiyan was too weak to resist her. Wu Xuan was afraid that her dirty secrets would be exposed, so she struck first to silence Luo Feiyan.
Luo Feiyan propped her hands on the ground.
She used all her strength but still couldn't get up.
Or every time her body just lifted a little, Wu Xuan would stomp her down heavily again.
Luo Feiyan raised her head and looked at the two girls around. There was only schadenfreude in their eyes. And Tang Qi, the heir of the Eastern Continent, just stood there silently.
"You'll regret it."
She would regret it.
If she didn't die, Luo Feiyan swore that she would make them regret it.
"Me, regret?
"What ability do you think you have to make me regret?"
"Is it because of your identity as the daughter of the Marquis of Ruoqiang? Or is it because of your weak skills? Luo Feiyan, if it weren't for the fact that the Changkong Academy is located at the border between Ruoqiang and Loulan and you have a bit of an advantage as a local, do you think the Changkong Academy would accept a fool like you?"
"Those who can become inner - court disciples of the Changkong Academy are either rich or noble. You're not the only young miss!"
"You still think you're the high - and - mighty young miss of the marquis's mansion who is respected by all. Luo Feiyan, open your eyes and see clearly. This is the Changkong Academy, not your Marquis's Mansion of Ruoqiang."
Blood trickled down from her forehead and into Luo Feiyan's eyes.
Under the blood, her eyes became dull.
A dull pain started in a place behind her.
A purple light suddenly hit her back.
Luo Feiyan let out a painful wail and then passed out.
"Hey, hey -"
Wu Xuan kicked Luo Feiyan several times in a row, but there was no reaction from her at all.
She began to get a bit anxious.
Now that the elders were not around, she could bully Luo Feiyan as she pleased. But if the elders found out that she had beaten Luo Feiyan to death, this matter would surely cause a bigger stir.
In the future, there might even be a fierce battle between Ruoqiang and Tianli.
As the princess of Tianli, Wu Xuan didn't want to get into trouble because of such a useless person.
"What bad luck."
"Sister Xuan, what should we do now?"
Wu Xuan said, "What are you panicking about? We can't just let her die here. Tang Qi, quickly carry her out of the city and throw her in the suburbs. Find a place where monsters are active, so that we won't be tainted by bad luck. Otherwise, it will be bad for the Eastern Continent and Tianli."
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment.
"Princess Xuan, Luo Feiyan should still be alive, right?"
"So what if she's alive? She's barely hanging on. If she wakes up and starts causing a ruckus, we'll all be involved."
Tang Qi murmured, "Who told you to hit her so hard."
"What did you say?"
"Princess Xuan, you knew from the start that Luo Feiyan is as weak as a kitten. You still hit her so hard. Even a spiritual pharmacist or an alchemist with some skills would be seriously injured by your palm, let alone Luo Feiyan, a weak girl who has been in poor health since childhood -"
"I didn't know that the heir of the Eastern Continent had so many words to say. Don't forget who caused this trouble today."
Tang Qi shrank his head and didn't say anything more.
"Luo Feiyan is extremely beautiful. Since this happened today, you can take her out of the city while the elders are away and even get close to her. If it weren't for this incident, no matter how useless Luo Feiyan is, she definitely wouldn't have taken a second look at you, the heir of the Eastern Continent."
Wu Xuan was well - known for her domineering nature.
Even before she came to the Changkong Academy, her bad reputation had spread far and wide.
She was in love with Xia Qingyan, the young prince of Hailing. But that gentle and elegant young man had fallen in love with the fool Luo Feiyan at first sight.
The young prince was born noble and was one of the direct disciples. But Luo Feiyan didn't even give Xia Qingyan a glance.
The person Wu Xuan held dear had been ignored like this, so naturally, she was very unhappy.
Even if this incident didn't happen today, if she found an opportunity in the future, she would surely make Luo Feiyan's life miserable.
