Chapter 216 - 216 – Dream On If You Want Me to Apologize
After dropping these words, Zhuang Yuling walked directly out of the courtyard, regardless of her feelings.
Standing in the yard, Zhuang Huanling’s face was full of despair.
Was she really that willful?
Clearly, that Hong Shixian was the one who hurt her best friend; if she didn’t teach him a lesson, how could she justify it?
Just when Zhuang Huanling was puzzled and displeased, Gong Shuier walked in with a smile.
“It’s alright, your aunt is just doing this for your own good.”
“She’s not doing it for my good, she just despises me!”
Zhuang Huanling looked at Gong Shuier with defiance and her hands on her hips, “Shuier, let me ask you, do you think I’m willful?”
“Or rather, do you think I was wrong to deal with Hong Shixian this time?”
At her words, Gong Shuier fell silent for a moment, then looked at Zhuang Huanling seriously.
“Linger, do you really want me to tell you the truth?”
“Of course, and you are not allowed to lie to me, or else, I will tickle you to death!” Zhuang Huanling made a tickling gesture, immediately reducing Gong Shuier to fits of laughter.
“Alright, alright, I’ll say it!”
Suppressing her laughter, Gong Shuier spoke earnestly, “To be honest, Linger, sometimes, you really are unreasonable and overbearing.”
“If it weren’t for your talents and strength, you would have long been spurned.”
At this, Zhuang Huanling was stunned.
“Shuier, do you despise me?”
“How could I dislike you, I just think you should change your attitude.”
Gong Shuier took Zhuang Huanling’s hand and said earnestly: “Although Hong Shixian won our contest, he did not really hurt me; I just fainted due to my own stagnant progress.”
“Even Elder Lin conceded, and duly compensated him. Why are you causing unnecessary trouble?”
“Besides, Hong Shixian has been fairly nice. After understanding my issue, he even sent medicinal pills. If it wasn’t for his medicine, I wouldn’t have broken through so soon — it would have taken me at least another three or four years.”
“So. in a wav. I should thank him.”
As Gong Shuier spoke, she kept observing Zhuang Huanling’s expression, noticing that the girl seemed a bit dazed.
“Hey, are you listening?”
“I’m listening, but you just know how to handle things.”
Zhuang Huanling propped her cheek on her hand: “But I really don’t like that kid.”
“You’re going to punish him just because you don’t like him? You really need to change your temper. If it wasn’t for your powerful family, you would have been dead a thousand times over.”
Gong Shuier looked at her with disdain.
Realizing that Gong Shuier seemed unhappy, Zhuang Huanling hurriedly spoke: “Don’t be angry, Shuier. I was just joking. Couldn’t you tell that I was worried because you were injured?”
“No matter how worried you are, you can’t act impulsively. Otherwise, who will like you with that temper?”
“You really need to change your attitude. I’ll take you to apologize to Hong Shixian today.”
Zhuang Huanling’s eyes widened in shock at her words.
“No way, Shuier! How could you do this?”
“Humph, you deserve it. It’s necessary to apologize; not only that, you must make amends.”
Gong Shuier snorted, “You really need to change your bad habits, otherwise, you’ll cause big trouble in the future.”
“Could I change it later? There’s no way I’ll apologize to Hong Shixian absolutely no way!”
“Let’s not wait for another day, let’s start now. If you don’t apologize, I won’t be your friend.” Gong Shuier pretended to be angry.
Immediately, Zhuang Huanling fell silent.
She truly valued her friendships. This was in large part because she had been willful since childhood.
She had punished all sorts of families and sect disciples in the vicinity, and no one was willing to be her friend.
But after coming here, apart from her elders, only Gong Shuier treated her as a true friend. So, Zhuang Huanling treasured it.
For Gong Shuier’s sake, she had dealt with many people.
“Humph, there’s no way I’ll apologize, absolutely impossible!” Zhuang Huanling scoffed.
“Hey, you’ve got to be kidding. Do you really want me to apologize?”
At night, at the banquet held by the Wuhai Academy, Zhuang Huanling stood alone in front of a small courtyard.
The surrounding area was filled with people, all of them watching Zhuang Huanling closely, ready to contact Zhuang Yuling via their messaging tokens if she tried any tricks.
“Lady holistic, seriously, you are the one who was wrong in this situation.”
“Yes, although Hong Shixian is a bit arrogant, he is really a nice person. Even the prince of the Sword Sea Sect was praising him today.”
“Lady holistic, you really need to change your temper….Hey! Hey! Lady holistic, these were the instructions of the holistic aunt, we were forced. You can’t vent your anger at me, otherwise, the holistic aunt will deal with you!”
Upon hearing the words ‘holistic aunt,’ Zhuang Huanling clenched her teeth in anger.
“All of you get lost! I am annoyed!”
Zhuang Huanling snorted, trying to disperse the people around her, but the disciples of Jade Top Mountain didn’t budge.
They were joking. They wouldn’t dare leave. The holistic aunt would make them regret it for the rest of their lives.
Everyone was serious about this, no one dared to mess around.
Seeing her threats did not work, Zhuang Huanling could only storm into the courtyard.
“This is damn annoying. Why is everyone else out there enjoying their food and drinks, and only I am under house arrest? They really won’t let me out if I don’t apologize?”
“What if that Hong Shixian doesn’t show up? Am I supposed to wait here until I ?die?”
A furious Zhuang Huanling sat in a chair, fiercely stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth, and began chewing vigorously.
However, soon, a mischievous light began to flash in her eyes.
She subtly used her spiritual consciousness to sense her surroundings. Discovering that the disciples were merely circling the courtyard, she smirked coldly.
“Humph, a bunch of good-for-nothings thinking they can stop holistic. They must be dreaming.”
Zhuang Huanling snorted, with a single flash, she disappeared from the courtyard. Hiding her Mid Separation Stage cultivation was quite simple.
After escaping, Zhuang Huanling looked at the bustling crowd around her. Instead of putting on her veil, she behaved like an ignorant and nave young girl fresh to the martial world.
“I finally managed to escape. I’m not stupid enough to let them find me. Let’s take a walk around and get some fresh air before returning.”
“Hey, if I don’t have money, I’ll just play!”
“They want holistic to apologize to that Hong Shixian? Dream on, not happening, no chance!”
With this in mind, Zhuang Huanling began to move around.
The place was packed with people and many delicious foods. After grabbing a piece of cake, Zhuang Huanling headed towards the entrance, planning to see what fun there was.
Just then, two people came walking towards her.
One was a picturesque scholar, the other was robust and pleasantly plain faced.
Zhuang Huanling paused, surprised to find that these two people were coming directly towards her?
