Chapter 59 : Another Type of Cultivation 8 (2/2)

Lin Yiyi jerked her head to look at the source of the voice. Her back to the light, a purple-robed woman was slowly making her way over. There seemed to be a saintly white halo around her and her every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of onlookers.

“You…” When Chu Ning saw who it was, she was stunned for a moment before ridiculing, “You still dare to come back!”

Shi Sheng helped Lin Yiyi up and caused the ice wall to vanish with a wave of her hand. Her tone was casual and relaxed, “Why wouldn’t I dare to come back?”

“You’re still unrepentant! Wait till the Sect Head comes, I’ll see how you keep up this tough act of yours!” Chu Ning humphed lightly. Naturally, she had a reason to dislike Shi Sheng. As a bro-con, would she have any goodwill towards someone who had been eyeing her brother a year ago? Now that this person had messed up, why wouldn’t she join in?

“I shan’t trouble you to care about that…” Shi Sheng paused before casting a sideways glance at Chu Ning. Suddenly, she lifted her hand and a few ice daggers few into Chu Ning’s calf.

Chu Ning hadn’t had time to see them clearly before her legs gave out and she fell to the ground. The people beside her managed to catch her in time though. Chu Ning’s mind was a blank mess. ‘She moved so quickly… Just when did her cultivation improve so much?’

“Shang Shu, what are you doing?!” One of the girls reacted at last and immediately flew into a rage.

“Punishing a disrespectful disciple. What? You want a taste too?” Shi Sheng stared at the girl and bared her teeth in a terrifying smile. Her fair hand lifted and more ice daggers formed. She made to fling them.

That girl was startled. She hadn’t even seen how the ice daggers had appeared the first time so she was clearly not a match. Her temper subsided. ‘Chu Ning has a direct disciple for a brother so she can do what she wants but I can’t! And besides, even if Chu Ye was here, he’d still have to call her Martial Aunt.’

“Shang Shu! I won’t let you off!” Chu Ning’s face was twisted in pain and she spoke through gritted teeth, “Just you wait! This time even Grandmaster Yu Xiao can’t protect you!”

“I’ll be waiting then!” Shi Sheng gave a cold snort before helping Lin Yiyi away. “The next time you come and act arrogant in front of me, don’t even think about keeping your legs.”

Chu Ning shook from rage. But even after quite a while, she hadn’t managed to get a word out, so she could only watch as the two walked away. Lin Yiyi didn’t dare to make a sound, simply allowing Shi Sheng to bring her out of the lines of sight of those people.

“Martial Aunt… Have I caused trouble for you?” The disciples of Misty Sect weren’t allowed to fight amongst themselves outside of the designated arenas. But her Martial Aunt had to break this rule because of her.

“I have more problems to deal with anyway so I don’t mind adding one more.” Shi Sheng spoke indifferently. “You, on the other hand, attacked them even though you knew you couldn’t beat them. Was your brain smashed in by a door?”

Lin Yiyi bit her lips, not daring to say a word. In her heart, she was feeling wronged though. The reason why she had attacked in the first place was because she was upset at how they talked bad about her Martial Aunt.

“When you know you can’t beat her, just tolerate it. Let her ridicule all she wants. You won’t be missing any flesh, will you? As long as she doesn’t cross your bottom line, just let her get full of herself. Then once she gets cocky, find an opportunity to pull her down. That cause the most pain to her.”

Lin Yiyi stared dumbstruck at Shi Sheng in disbelief that she would say that.

“What are you looking at? Have you really gone dumb now? You have to rein in your temper, else you’ll suffer a lot. Only people who can endure can accomplish great things.”

It was only because Lin Yiyi had protected her that Shi Sheng gave her this reminder. Whether she could gain anything or not depended on Lin Yiyi herself.

“I understand, Martial Aunt.” Lin Yiyi had always been aware that her temper was a little volatile but she had never been able to rein it in. Even after countless reminders from her Master, she could never remember.

Of course, the most important point was that her Master had always spoken so profoundly and used so many lofty principles so how would she pay attention, let alone remember?

Now that Shi Sheng had put it in such crude and simple terms for her, she immediately understood: If you want to act cool you have to have the strength to back it up. If you don’t, let other people act cool then attack them when they least expect it.
