“Miss Good-for-nothing is challenging the genius maiden? Is she looking for humiliation and disgrace? This has got to be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in the twenty-plus years I’ve been alive.”

“If a 14-year-old First-stage Spiritualist cannot be called a ‘genius,’ what should we call her? A ‘no-hoper-who-can’t-even-cultivate’? Dust?”

“I heard that Feng Tianlan achieved the sixth level of Gathering Spirit when she was five years old, but she couldn’t proceed further. Otherwise, her talent would be greater than the Feng Family’s Third Miss.”

“That was years ago. Look at her now, still at the sixth level of Gathering Spirit at the age of 15. People will die laughing when they hear that, right?”

“Why did Feng Tianlan call the Feng’s Third Miss ‘Tu Xiuyu’? Why do they have different last names despite being born from the same father?”

“The original name of the Feng Family’s current head was Tu. He changed his name to Feng when he married into the Feng Family.”

…

Everyone began to gossip about the Feng Family’s past. They didn’t forget to mock Feng Tianlan’s overestimation of her abilities like she was hitting a stone with an egg.

Feng Xiuyu felt nothing but embarrassment and shame when she heard what they were saying. She wished that she could bury herself in a hole. She detested the word “Tu” and hated the fact that Feng Tianlan was still alive.

“Feng Tianlan, you’re hopeless trash. Fighting me will only bring you death. I will let bygones be bygones if you crawl along the edge of the battle ring while barking like a dog.” Feng Xiuyu grasped the sharpened sword in her hands. While her words sounded magnanimous, her expression showed disdain and ridicule.

Feng Tianlan sneered coldly, her beautiful eyes half-lidded. “Right back at you. Will you fight me or not?”

“You are the one who’s seeking death.”
