2 Chapter 2: First Face Slap (2/2)
”Ying Yue! What the hell did you do to me! Ahh! My wrist! How could you do this to my wrist! I'm telling father!” she cried, wiggling her way out of Ying Yue's tight grip and running to the door, leaving with her tail between her legs.
Throughout the whole altercation, Zhu Xinya was laying upon the bed in a daze, staring at her master in admiration and shock.
”Third eldest miss, is that really you, third eldest miss?” Zhu Xinya asked, looking at Ying Yue in disbelief, ”When did you get so formidable?”
Ying Yue looked at Zhu Xinya and smiled, ”I've always been like this Zhu-Zhu, I just finally got tired of being a push-over.”
Upon hearing the familiar form of endearment coming from Ying Yue's mouth, Zhu Xinya breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like this really was her master. After processing the events that just happened, however, that relief turned into fear.
”Third eldest miss, what are we going to do? You heard what fourth eldest miss said. She's going to tell master, and then you'll be punished. We should pack some things and leave here quickly before they arrive. Maybe we can hide somewhere for a few days.”
Ying Yue look at the young girl panicking for her well-being and smiled. It was nice to have someone care for her like this.
”There is no need to worry,” Ying Yue said, ”Father won't do anything. We can just stay here and go about our days like we normally would.”
”But why?” Zhu Xinya asked
”Think about it,” Ying Yue replied, ”The pride of my father's eyes and genius known throughout the kingdom was defeated by her sister, an absolute good-for-nothing without an ounce of spiritual power in her body. How do you think the public would react if they heard of this? Therefor, my father will do nothing, as he doesn't want word of this incident to get out. If anything, he might even punish my sister for losing to me.”
Zhu Xinya listened to Ying Yue and a smile broke out across her face. ”Wow, you're really smart third eldest miss. I never would have been able to think that far ahead. But what about fourth eldest miss? She certainly won't let this go. Won't she come back to make trouble?”
”Then, we'll simply wait for her. After all, I'm excited to see what she can come up with.”
