Chapter 189 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 5 (2/2)

Shi Sheng adjusted her position, her hand propping up her chin as she observed the assault. In those calm, black eyes, there was neither pity nor gloating, merely a calm comparable to a dead pool.

The girl’s cries became weaker and weaker, until she finally took her last breath.

Though those lowlifes appeared to have discovered the girl had died, they actually proceeded to continue raping the corpse!

Once they finally satisfied themselves, they abandoned the body of the girl, covered in bruises and filth, and escaped the scene.

Shi Sheng leapt from the tree, just so happening to come face-to-face with Qin Langyue, who had come sprinting from another path. Qin Langyue turned her head, and when she caught sight of the girl on the ground, her expression warped.

“Qin Kui!”

A youth accompanied Qin Langyue. He had a very cold aura, like an unsheathed treasure sword.

It was Jiang Mu, one of Qin Langyue’s followers. After a brief glance, Shi Sheng shifted her gaze and made to leave, but the youth blocked her path.

“Shen Yaoguang!” Qin Langyue covered up the defiled body before charging over, seething with killing intent.“Who was it?!”

‘Fuck! Well, aren’t you bold, FL-sama?! You dared to call me by name!’

Shi Sheng retreated a step before speaking in a ridiculing tone, “How would I know who did it?”

Qin Langyue grilled Shi Sheng in a loud voice, “You were here, weren’t you? How would you be unaware of who committed these atrocities?! Or were you the one who got people to do this?!?”

“I was just passing by.” Shi Sheng suddenly grinned maliciously. “If I were the one who masterminded this, I’d have made sure there wouldn’t even be a corpse left for you to find!”

Qin Langyue’s pupils contracted. ‘What’s with this Shen Yaoguang who oozes wickedness…?’

Qin Langyue glanced at where Qin Kui was before turning to stare at Shi Sheng again. She suddenly asked, “You witnessed everything?”

“Yep.” ‘Wasn’t all that appealing to look at. Wish I could scrub my eyeballs.’

“Then why didn’t you save her?!” Qin Langyue lost control of her emotions. “Since you saw it, why didn’t you save her?! She was still so young! She had her whole future ahead of her! All you had to do was speak out, and you’d be able to save her! So why didn’t you?!”

‘Who doesn’t know what kind of status Shen Yaoguang has at the academy? Would anyone have dared to disobey if she’d only just spoken up?!

Yet she chose not to do anything…’

Qin Kui was the only one who had treated her wholeheartedly since she’d arrived in this world. Qin Langyue had already begun seeing her as a family member. Yet now, this family member had been humiliated to death, and before her stood a person who had done nothing to prevent it, even going to far as to act as if it was to be expected…

Shi Sheng’s lips curved into a beautiful arc. “Why would I save her? What reason would I have for doing so?”

Who was Qin Kui to her? A stranger! So why should she have saved her?

‘Saving people is done out of kindness, while not saving them is simply acting out of self-interest. What’s wrong with that?’

To Shi Sheng, morals weren’t even worth a fart. ‘And besides, even if you put aside the fact I(bbb) wasn’t even acquainted with her, I(bbb) still wouldn’t save her since she’s on the FL’s side.’

“Shen Yaoguang, how could you be so cruel?!” Qin Langyue’s hands balled into fists as she loathingly glared at Shi Sheng. ‘Qin Kui died all because she didn’t save her!’

“So?” ‘If you’re not cruel, there’ll always be someone else who’s crueler. Then YOU’RE the one that dies.’

“As if the likes of you are worthy of being called a genius!” Qin Langyue laughed coldly. ‘I just knew that no one from the great clans was any good!’

Shi Sheng peered in seeming perplexity at Qin Langyue. After all, she was a killer who had witnessed countless filthy acts committed. Even if she was feeling a bit out of sorts after arriving in a foreign world, she should’ve already understood that this world only respected the strong.

‘What? It’s perfectly okay for YOU to go around killing people, but when other people do it, it’s immoral? On what grounds?! Don’t we all do it to further our own goals?’

“Regardless of whether or not I’m worthy, I am a genius!” Shi Sheng praised herself shamelessly, causing Qin Langyue to be at a loss for words.

[1] Is anyone unfamiliar with this term? Look here! Er, I suppose the best way to describe them is people with a bunch of money and power (or more accurately, their families do) and abuse it to languish in decadence.
