I forgot the pain in my scarWhen Bai Li arrived at the hunting grounds, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the arena. Everyone stopped practicing and naturally gathered together to discuss softly.
"She is Miss Bai, the fiancee of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Isn"t she a fool? Why are you here to partic.i.p.ate in the hunt as well? "
"I heard that she"s no longer a fool. She"s completely recovered."
"Oh, no wonder the Crown Prince brought her to hunt. I have to admit that this Miss Bai is really pretty."
"That"s right. She"s so beautiful, but too bad she"s a piece of trash who doesn"t know any martial arts."
Hearing the discussion of the crowd, Bai Li smiled coldly, walked to the side and started to lower her legs.
Seeing Bai Li"s actions, all the Madame s in the Western Corner were dumbfounded.
"What is she doing? Is she also preparing to partic.i.p.ate?"
"Isn"t she a fool? Even idiots can partic.i.p.ate in compet.i.tions? "
"That"s right. Even if she isn"t an idiot, she is still a piece of trash. Don"t be ridiculous. "
The crowd of Madame s scoffed at Bai Li in disdain, but no one noticed the tiny figure behind them that was trembling in anger.
"You guys are spouting nonsense. My Cousin Li"er is not a fool, and is not trash. She"s powerful." Murong Yuyun clenched his fists and opened his eyes wide.
When she was young, she had seen Cousin Li"er spitting fire before, but she was still very powerful.
The sudden angry voice startled all of the Madame.
All the Madame turned around, and upon seeing Murong Yuyun, they immediately bowed in fear, "Princess Yuxi."
"Humph!" Murong Yuyun pouted and snorted, then turned and ran.
Murong Yuyun was only five years old three years ago, and in her heart, Bai Lier had never been an idiot. Now that she heard these people speak ill of Bai Lier, how could she not be angry?
"matriarch." Murong Yuyun pounced into Bai Qingyan"s embrace, feeling wronged.
Bai Qingyan"s body swayed, holding Murong Yuyun, with a face full of love, she asked, "What"s wrong, this is?"
Murong Yuyun pouted and pointed to the Madame with a wronged expression, "They are saying bad things about Cousin Li"er."
Bai Qingyan frowned, she raised her head and looked at the Madame s coldly.
Sensing Bai Qingyan"s cold gaze, the Madame s trembled and immediately kneeled down in fear. "Your concubine deserves to die."
Bai Qingyan squinted her cold eyes dangerously. This group of long-tongued women, this was how they bullied the leopard when she was not around. She really wanted to go up and give them a few slaps to see if they would dare to speak carelessly.
When the Rong family saw Bai Li on the compet.i.tion grounds, their eyes widened. "Esteemed w.a.n.gfei, quickly look."
Bai Qingyan turned her eyes, and upon seeing Bai Li on the arena, she instantly exclaimed in shock, "Why did you come to the arena?"
Madam Rong frowned, "From the looks of it, our daughter is going to partic.i.p.ate in the hunt."
Bai Qingyan panicked when she heard it, "How can that be? Who allowed her to partic.i.p.ate? Wasn"t that harming? "She doesn"t know how to fight."
The hunting compet.i.tion was extremely dangerous. Although the magical beasts were not of a high rank, they were not low either. A girl who knew no martial arts would rush into the hunting grounds. Wasn"t that just courting death?
Madam Rong also had a grave expression on her face as she turned around to look at the peach next to her. "Go ahead and ask her. What exactly happened?"
"Yes." Huaizhi accepted the order and immediately went to the east side to gather information.
In the hunting grounds, Yun Shaoning moved his b.u.t.t and squatted next to Bai Li, "Junior Sister, you really want to partic.i.p.ate in the hunting compet.i.tion?"
Bai Li raised her eyebrows and shot a cold glance at Yun Shaoning, "Do I look like I"m joking?"
Yun Shaoning frowned, his expression solemn: "This hunting compet.i.tion is not a joke, the first round, second round is still okay, but the third round is about killing a true beast."
Bai Li rubbed her wrist, and then laughed sinisterly as she stood up, "Isn"t that perfect, I haven"t moved my muscles for a long time."
"Watch carefully for me later." Bai Li patted Yun Shaoning"s shoulders, then turned back.
Yun Shaoning looked at Bai Li"s confident back figure, and blinked her eyes foolishly, "Junior sister, are you sure you can do it?"
Looking at Bai Li, Xue Qingyan smiled, "Whether it works or not, we will know in a while."
He didn"t know why, but he believed that his daughter would definitely be able to do it. Perhaps the alchemy incident had shocked him too much.
"Sister-Cousin Li"er." Bai Li slowly turned around, only to see a black-clothed youth looking at her with bright eyes.
"Sister-Cousin Li"er doesn"t recognize me anymore." Seeing that Bai Li did not react, the youth creased his eyebrows in grievance.
Bai Li was startled, then smiled: "Elder Cousin Ling, long time no see."
Murong Ling, sixteen years old, Crown Prince Su, looked to be a talented person, very handsome, very similar to her aunt. He had trained for a long time in the Northwest and managed to get a good figure at such a young age.
Hearing the familiar name, Murong Ling immediately laughed.
"Yeah, we haven"t seen each other for three years. Sister-Cousin Li"er is getting more and more beautiful." Looking at Bai Li"s small and exquisite face, Murong Ling couldn"t help but blush.
Bai Li curled her lips, "Elder Cousin Ling has also grown quite a bit taller."
Three years ago, he was still a child, but now he was an elegant young man.
Murong Ling scratched his head innocently, "Come with me to see mother in a while, she probably wants to see you a lot."
"Alright." Bai Li nodded. Even if he hadn"t said it, she would have gone to see her aunt.
On the other side, Murong Lingshan led the girls that were partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion and entered the stage. Unlike the pearl hairpin from before, which was made from silk and silk, these young mistresses were all dressed in tight attire and looked very capable.
Bai Li raised her eyebrows, she did not expect the hunting grounds to be so high cla.s.s, to actually have a changing room.
"Bai Lier, what are you doing here?" Seeing Bai Li, Murong Lingshan"s eyes immediately widened in anger.
Bai Li raised her eyebrows, "Is there even a need to ask? "Naturally, we"re here to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion."
The perspicacious eyes, indifferently swept over Bai Ruoyu, Puyang Bingwei and the rest who were behind Murong Lingshan. They were all old acquaintances and really agreed with the phrase "enemies won"t meet up."
Hearing this, Murong Lingshan immediately sneered in disdain, "Just you, a useless trash who doesn"t know anything can partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. Bai Lier, are you here to make fun of me?"
Bai Li raised her eyebrow, and slowly moved closer to Murong Lingshan, "I don"t know anything, but I am better than most people. I think some people have already healed their scars and forgot about the pain. "
With that sentence, Murong Lingshan remembered the humiliation he had once suffered. The feeling of suffocation that would force a person to desperation gushed over like a surging tide. Instantly, Murong Lingshan felt it difficult to breathe, and a deep sense of fear rose from the bottom of his heart.
Bai Li sneered, and ignored Murong Lingshan, walking to the side and waiting for the start of the compet.i.tion.
Murong Lingshan"s face flushed red, he clenched his fists. Bai Lier, just you wait, I don"t believe a trash like you can be that powerful.
