Chapter 172: Li Changying (1/2)

”Hello, Little sister. Who's your friend?”

”Li ChangYing, what are you doing here.”

”I came to congratulate you on becoming a tiger class disciple. We may only be half-sisters, but that doesn't make us strangers. Now, I'll ask you again, who is your friend?”

”His name is... Long-”

Pah!

Suddenly, the sound of a slap resonated through the air. Li Xiang cupped her left cheek as it started to become red.

”I was hoping it wasn't true. You haven't even been here for a week, but you still dare to break one our guild's rules. Did you think I wouldn't hear about this?”

Li Xiang couldn't even see the slap coming. She was just too weak compared to her elder sister.

”I had a reason for bringing him,” Li Xiang complained.

”Oh, you have a reason? Say it then, what is your reason for bringing him here?”

Li Xiang hesitated to say it. She promised Xiao Fang that she wouldn't tell anyone about his relationship with Li Lian, but she didn't want to be slapped in front of him.

”You think I won't embarrass you in front of your friend? Hurry up and say it,” Li ChangYing said impatiently.

Li Xiang looked up at Xiao Fang, but he didn't seem bothered by it.

The truth was, he really wasn't disturbed by it. In this cruel world of cultivation, such a harmless slap was no different than a light slap on the wrist. Xiao Fang was used to seeing much worse in the Divine Sword sect, so he thought Li Xiang was extremely lucky to have such a caring older sister.

”T-There's no reason,” Li Xiang finally replied.

Li ChangYing raised her hand to slap her again. Li Xiang braced herself, but the slap never came.

”You-”

Li Xiang opened her eyes then saw that Xiao Fang was holding Li Changying's wrist in the air.

”I hate to interfere, but could you continue this while I'm not here? As a man, my eyes can't bare to see such a pretty face get hit,” Xiao Fang said.

Li ChangYing frowned.

”Your eyes? What nonsense are you spouting,” she said as she stared at his blindfold.

She originally didn't pay any attention to him because his aura was so weak that she could hardly feel anything at all. However, the reason she couldn't feel it was because his blindfold was concealing it. Since he was able to catch her slap before it hit, she could only assume that he wasn't as weak as she first thought.

Xiao Fang finally let go of her wrist.

”Since you trespassed into my guild house, don't think that I'm going to let you go either,” Li ChangYing said.

As soon as those words came out of her mouth, she threw a punch at him.

[ Misdirection - Punch Fake ]

An illusion of her fist shot straight at his face while her real fist was aiming at his stomach.

In the next moment, her eyes widened in disbelief. Her fist didn't hit him in the gut, all she could feel was the palm of his hand. Xiao Fang had effortlessly blocked her punch.

!!!

She immediately jumped back. Although her attack was simple, it wasn't something an inner court disciple should've been able to block, especially when she was already standing so close to him.

'How is he able to see anything through that blindfold anyway?' She thought.

The more she thought about it, the more mysterious Xiao Fang seemed. She couldn't explain it, but she was getting a really bad feeling from him.

Xiao Fang didn't want to start a fight with anyone in the Li Family Clan. They were all related to Li Lian in one way or another, so even if he didn't like them, he couldn't go around beating them up. Li Xiang on the other hand thought Xiao Fang was being so cool. Not only did he perfectly defend against a sudden attack from a Dragon-Class disciple, he also made her retreat several steps back.

Li ChangYing looked down at Xiao Fang's black robes then saw the outline of a purple Phoenix embroidered onto it.

”So you're a Phoenix Class disciple. Since I've never seen you before that must mean you only got accepted into that class. Don't let it get to your head. The jump from the Phoenix Class to the Dragon Class is nothing like the jump you made from the Tiger Class. If you resist against me, your punishment will only get worse,” she threatened him not knowing that he jumped from the Outer Court straight to the Phoenix-Class of the Inner Court.

Li Changying was scared of him, but she couldn't figure out why.
