Chapter 191

The Difference Between Cloud and Mud [2]

Huang Bei Yue lightly raised the corners of her mouth into a smile: “Concubine Xue is joking. Where has Bei Yue changed? It’s clearly because Concubine Xue’s eyes had become dull.”

“Ah, it is because my eyes had become dull. For so many years, I didn’t see that third miss has such bravery!” Concubine Xue’s anger turned into laughter.

For the first time, she truly looked at Huang Bei Yue who was standing on the flight of steps. She had never noticed that this little girl who was too weak to stand up to the wind, would actually have such this kind of noble and fierce temperament.

“You’re flattering me.” Huang Bei Yue said with a faint smile. She wasn’t arrogant or impatient as she said, “Bei Yue’s character was inherited from mother. It’s the so-called saying: like mother, like daughter. Isn’t that right, Concubine Xue?”

Saying up to here, she looked at Xiao Yun who was spitting with anger. Huang Bei Yue cynically raised the corners of her lips. Dong Ling, this little girl followed suit with a ‘puchi’[1] sound and laughed.

Like mother, like daughter.

To Concubine Xue and Xiao Yun, that sentence was completely mocking them. It reminded them of the humiliation that Xiao Yun had faced on Xiao Yao Wang’s ship. Concubine Xue and Xiao Yun’s face had all became red.

Good news doesn’t spread but bad news would spread thousands of miles.

The deeds that Xiao Yun had done, it had spread all over the streets of Lin Huai City. This formerly arrogant and talented summoner girl had become an object of ridicule in everyone’s eyes.

Before she was arrogant and annoying, now so many people loathe her.

In the morning, Xiao Yun had gone out. But she had fled home under the numerous eye of contempt. Her face was pale white. Once she had entered Bi Shui Courtyard, she threw herself on Concubine Xue’s embrace and cried loudly without end.

Since she had grown up, she had grown up in the eyes of envy and jealousy from other people. She’s a genius. She’s Nan Yi Country’s youngest female summoner.

When she was just 16 years old, she was already a three-star summoner. She was also able to summon out a rank 4 spirit beast of ice attribute, Snow Cat.

At that time, how well-regarded was she? The entire city was raining flowers for her. Whenever she went out, eyes filled with envy, worship, and adoration followed her!

She had never experienced this kind of scorn and ridicule. It seemed as if everyone in the world looked down on her. Those people were secretly talking about how she’s a woman who is unrestrained, frivolous, and doesn’t understand etiquette!

She clearly isn’t! She had always kept herself clean. She had learned from the mistakes of Concubine Qin. Since little, Concubine Xue had taught her to properly treasure her reputation.

They had always looked down on Concubine Qin. That was because she had a disgraceful history from the past. But now, all these disgraceful history were all added to Xiao Yun now!

When Xiao Yun had recalled all of that, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She stood up and pointed the ice feather in her hand at Huang Bei Yue.

“Stop talking nonsense. If that day you didn’t frame me, would I have to endure all this shame? Today I have come to settle this debt with you!”

“I framed you?” Huang Bei Yue lightly laughed, “There were so many people present that day when you had pushed me. What’s more, you had pushed me in front of everyone. You had also dressed like that. If it wasn’t out of the kindness of my heart to let Dong Ling give you my cloak to cover yourself, then I’m afraid that even more people would’ve laughed at you.”

“What you’re saying is pleasant to hear but I didn’t push you at all. You pretended to fall and made everyone believe you. That’s why I was humiliated!”

Huang Bei Yue glanced at her with contempt and coldly sneered in front of them. Dong Ling continued on Huang Bei Yue’s words: “Second miss, you can’t say that. That day there were so many experts present. Whether you had pushed her or not, a regular person wouldn’t be able to tell. But do you think that those experts wouldn’t be able to tell?”

Dong Ling’s quick-witted eyes lightly swept across Xiao Yun’s face that had turned purple due to anger as she continued to sneer.
