Chapter 22 (2/2)

”Sima You Yue! Not bad courage you have. When I saw Fatty Qu running off to tell you the news, I was sure you've gone into hiding. I'm surprised that you've not run away with your tail tucked behind your legs!” Meng Ting sneered.

”Well, there's no need for the likes of you.” Sima You Yue smiled provocatively as she gave her a contemptuous glance from head to toe.

”You!!!” Meng Ting gnashed her teeth together furiously. Since young, she had always been the object of affection and everyone fawned on her. No one had ever spoken to her in such a manner before! The people living in this courtyard had already made her very mad when no one had put her in their eyes and usually ignored her. She did not expect that a trash like Sima You Yue would dare to be so rude and even dared to give her such a condescending look, as if despising her. She felt the anger in her heart rise as she yelled out: ”Since Fatty Qu had already told you my motive, then I won't waste my breath on you. Sima You Yue, I challenge you! If you lose, you are never to ever take a step into Imperial Academy ever again!”

”You, a fifth grade Spirit Warrior wants to challenge me? Haha, alright, let's say I take you up on this challenge, tell me, what do I stand to gain if I win?” Sima You Yue did not even bother looking at Meng Ting as she looked at her nails and fiddled with them.

At this point in time, Ouyang Fei's room door swung open and he stepped out. He had on his usually cold demeanor and cast a glance at the commotion in the courtyard before he left without saying a word.

Next, Bei Gong Tang's room door also swung open and she looked at Meng Ting and frowned. ”If you want to create a ruckus, go out! Whoever was disrupting my reading, SCRAM!”

Sima You Yue looked at the departing back of Ouyang Fei and listened to Bei Gong Tang's merciless words, these two people somehow seemed to have a few common traits.

When Meng Ting heard Bei Gong Tang's words, she seemed to have momentarily lost her composure and had on a brief look of fear. She lowered her voice and glared at Sima You Yue menacingly. ”You, a trash who can't even sense Spiritual Qi, wants to win me? What a joke!”

She threw her head back in laughter as the others who followed her in all had the same look of disdain as they laughed together mockingly.

”A joke? Well, you may find it funny now but careful you may not be even able to laugh later.” Sima You Yue lips curled up, her voice laced with mirth.

”Hah! Just say what you want.” Meng Ting scoffed.

”Sima You Yue looked in the direction of Bei Gong Tang and said: ”I have no intention of disturbing my dorm mate, since you are here to challenge me, then to make me take up your challenge, you must also give me something to stake. Hmm, let's do it this way, if by a stroke of incredible luck I somehow manage to beat you, all you have to do in future is whenever you see me, you will turn have to turn tail and stay out of my sight!  If you're okay with this then I'm up for the challenge.”

”Fine! If you win, I will get out of your sight whenever I see you, and no longer stir up any trouble for you. But, if I win, then you'll have to get out of Imperial Academy!” Meng Ting declared.

”Alright, so it's set, why don't you head over to the stage first, I'll come in a while.” Saying this, Sima You Yue turned and closed her room door.

”You Yue…” Fatty Qu did not have the opportunity to continue with his words when he was shut outside.

”Let's go! We'll wait for her on the challenge stage!” Meng Ting gave a last glance at Sima You Yue's door as she left happily.

The courtyard finally regained back it's tranquility. Bei Gong Tang gave a final glance at Fatty Qu who was still standing outside of Sima You Yue's door before closing her own door.

Fatty Qu thought back on this morning's meeting with the General Residence's Fourth Young Master Sima You Le who had seeked him out and had especially asked him to look after his brother on his behalf. Never did he expect that half a day later, Sima You Yue had already embroiled himself in such trouble.

”No, I have to quickly inform Fourth Young Master!” Fatty Qu's eyes had a glint of resolve in them as he ran out.
