Chapter 104: The Higher They Fly, The Harder They Fall (1/2)
While the examination continued to roll, a young girl timidly walked closer to Feng Xue, ”H-hello, Senior Sister Feng.”
A gentle smile plastered on Feng Xue's face when she saw the shy girl came over, ”Hello Xiaoyun. Here to watch the examination?”
Feeling the warm welcome, Chen Xiaoyun also broke into a smile. The truth is she was still a little bit nervous when talking with Feng Xue. However, due to Feng Xue's friendly attitude, she gradually became more relaxed.
”Y-yes. Sister Qi'er is taking the examination today, I'm here to cheer for her.”
”Hoo, that girl is not so bad.”
That was her honest opinion about Meng Qi. She was quite fond of her competitive spirit as she felt that they were quite similar in that aspect.
Chen Xiaoyun excitedly nodded and excitedly added, ”Of course! She is the most talented person in Meng Clan.”
Because she was taken care of by Third Elder, she has also had a good relationship with Meng Clan, especially Meng Qi. She was one of the people who don't ridicule her for her lack of progress in cultivation and often encouraged her and share some cultivation resources with her. Thus, they became a good friend.
”You're also not bad, maybe you're better than her to some degree,” chuckled Feng Xue.
”You jest Senior Sister Feng. I can't compare with her,” Chen Xiaoyun shook her head in reflex.
She never felt that she was better than Meng Qi. Maybe, because of her long stump in cultivation, she developed a little bit of inferiority complex toward her peer.
”Don't underestimate yourself. Maybe you're a bit weaker than her now, but you'll be much stronger than her in the future. You have Snowy's help after all,” convinced Feng Xue.
Xiaoyun had her immortal inheritance from her ancestor. What was a little Meng Clan compared to that? She has only had a late start.
Chen Xiaoyun didn't want to continue that topic because she still thought that Meng Qi was way better than her.
Instead, she changed the topic to another matter she was curious about.
”Miss Snowy…”
As if she could read what was in Chen Xiaoyoun's mind, Feng Xue smiled at her and said, ”You want to know why her talent is only showed as 3-stars talent?”
”Y-yes. I believe Miss Snowy is better than that…” said Xiaoyun with a puzzled look while her head tilted in adorable fashion.
Seeing Xiayoun's cute confused expression, Feng Xue softly laughed, ”Well you're not wrong. She was just playing there.”
”Hoho, quite interesting. Care to share your thought about it my adorable Junior Sister.”
Feng Xue and Chen Xiayoun were startled by the sudden voice and turned their head in the direction of the voice.
They saw a pair of a handsome man and a beautiful woman with elegant demeanor who could only describe as a pair of immortal couples, walked over toward them.
”First Brother Lin, Senior Sister Zi,” greeted Feng Xue cheerfully as she recognized the owner of the voice. Chen Xiaoyun, who was already timid to begin with, once again turned nervous and lowered her head behind Feng Xue's back.
”Who is this cute girl?” teased Lin Ming. He was a little bit amused by the shy girl who looks like an adorable small animal.
”You are slightly more courageous First Brother to hit a girl in front of Senior Sister Zi. Are you not afraid of getting pummelled by Senior Sister Zi?” said Feng Xue with a playful smile.
”Just kidding, just kidding. I'm only trying to be a friendly Senior Brother,” said Lin Ming quickly as he felt a sharp gaze on his back.
”What is it have to do with me?” Zi Ling's face darkened and her tone a little bit sullen.
”Serves you right, First Brother,” Feng Xue's unbridled laugh made Lin Ming's lips twitch in annoyance.
”This is Chen Xiayoun. Snowy and I get acquaintance with her recently,” explained Feng Xue after she had enough laughing. She then looked at the shy Xiaoyun and said, ”This is the First Brother of Heaven Swords Sect Lin Ming and Legacy Disciple Zi Ling, you might have heard about them before.”
”G-greeting to First Brother Lin Ming and Senior Sister Zi Ling!”
Xiaoyun of course familiar with their name but because of their vast difference in status she never dreamed to be able to meet them in person. She felt really nervous right now. If not because she was afraid that she will leave a bad impression, she would have run away and escaped.
”Don't be polite in the future. You're little Xue's friend so it means that you are also our friend,” said Zi Ling with a gentle tone while patting Xiaoyun's head. She always had a soft spot for a cute and shy girls like her.
”O-okay,” replied Chen Xiaoyun timidly.
