“No hurry.” Ye Zhenxing held his hand up. “Miss Lu, you don’t seem to be surprised at all. Were you expecting us?”
Lu Mingshu nodded. “Wasn’t it obvious? Why would the Pure White Grace Pavilion shopkeeper suddenly tell me about the Yellow Mystic Stone mine? The same place where there was a bunch of Ye Family members in the shop? There was at least an 80% chance that you all did this.”
“You… you knew?” Ye Zhenfan looked at her with wide eyes. He thought that she was gullible since they did it so easily. “You still dared to come?”
Lu Mingshu threw him a glance. “If I didn’t, you all wouldn’t let me off. Besides, what can you do to me that I wouldn’t dare to come?”
Her attitude and tone were perfectly fine, but because she was looking at them disdainfully, she was able to suppress these few Ye Family disciples.
In White Heron State, there wasn’t anyone who dared to be so arrogant in front of a Ye Family member. The Ye Family members were the only ones who dared to be arrogant!
Ye Zhenxing couldn’t help but smile. “Miss Lu, it’s impressive that Nine Jade Palace has someone like you.”
“I just don’t have the habit of hiding when things go wrong.”
This was the Ye Family’s territory, where could I even hide? If these few Ye Family members had their eyes on me already, then what was coming would come no matter what. How long could I hide? If I hid, how was I supposed to travel?
“Ah, nice!” Ye Zhenxing smiled. “That’s for the best then. So, how will you settle things?”
“Isn’t that a question for yourself?” Lu Mingshu raised her eyebrows. “I’m not the one who can’t stop troubling people.”
“Hmph!” Ye Zhenfan snickered. “You know that this is our territory, yet you’re the one that found trouble with me first by helping Ye Mingguang. Aren’t you the one that brought yourself the trouble? If we weren’t at the Pure White Grace Pavilion, we wouldn’t have found the sneaky culprit!”
Lu Mingshu sneered. “Mr Ninth Ye, your tricks against Ye Mingguang aren’t very smart either. Preventing him from getting injury medicine? There are so many merchants in Green Hills Bank, are you even capable of informing them all? If Ye Mingguang went to the harbour and found a merchant who just reached Green Hills Bank and asked to trade, what makes you think the merchant wouldn’t trade?”
“So you’re trying to say that it’s not your fault, huh?”
“You’re the unreasonable one, yet you’re blaming me for not cooperating with you. That’s funny.”
“Ninth Brother, this slut just has a dirty mouth, why are you still talking with her?”
Lu Mingshu stared at her coldly. Suddenly, a mystic light dashed toward her.
“What are you doing!?” Ye Zhenfan yelled and blocked it with his sword.
Ye Zhenxing and the other Ye Family disciple took out their swords at the same time.
“Ah!” The girl screamed and blocked the attack.
Piak!
A clear sound could be heard.
The Ye Family members were dumbfounded.
The Ye Family girl couldn’t believe what just happened. A red-coloured palm-mark was on her face. She teared up and cried out loud.
She had never been slapped by anyone since she was born!
“Talk properly as a human,” Lu Mingshu slowly said. “Especially to girls; it doesn’t sound nice.”
“You…!” The Ye Family girl pointed at her furiously. “Tenth Brother!”
Ye Zhenxing’s smile was all gone now.
That day when he went back with Ye Zhenfan, he said nothing about Lu Mingshu because he was clear that she would have the upper hand.
When they saw her take out that box in the Pure White Grace Pavilion, he decided to show her who the boss was here, and Ye Zhenfan brought up that day immediately.
Ye Zhenxing thought that he was already overestimating her ability by tricking her into coming here and joining hands with the other Ye Family disciples. Since they were all elites, no matter how powerful Lu Mingshu was, given her sect and her age, how could they possibly lose when they joined hands?
However, the last thing that they expected was that she could slap anyone she wanted among them.
Without true ability, such a slap was impossible.
Ye Zhenxing took in a deep breath. “Eighth Sister, Miss Lu is right. A girl shouldn’t be so vulgar.”
The Ye Family girl stared at him in disbelief. “Tenth Brother!”
“However,” Ye Zhenxing said loftily, “Miss Lu, this girl of our family, no matter what wrongdoing she did, others do not have the right to punish her.”
“So?”
Ye Zhenxing fished out his sword. “Martial artists should talk with their ability. Do you agree?”
Lu Mingshu finally smiled. “Even though you’re from the Ye Family just like them, you’re much more capable. Alright. Since you wanna teach me a lesson, please do.”
“Please guide me true!” Ye Zhenxing wasted no more time. After saying that sentence, he flashed over, and the sword-light was already in front of Lu Mingshu.
Ye Zhenfan attacked at the same time. He wasn’t necessarily as smart as his younger brother, but when it came to martial arts, he still had plenty to offer.
Both of them were from the Ye Family and they practised together since they were young, so they were well-coordinated. Light blue traces could be seen from the sword-lights that were dashing toward Lu Mingshu. The sword-lights came at her continuously and even attacked from different directions, making her unable to avoid them.
Lu Mingshu’s mystic light enlarged, and with a hiss, it turned into a dragon.
She didn’t dodge either of the two sword-lights. Instead, she went against them both head-on.
Ye Zhenfan and Ye Zhenxing took a step back after her attack. They looked at her, jaws dropping.
“Physical Manifestation of Sword Intent?” Ye Zhenxing mumbled. “So, it’s true….”
He didn’t believe it when Ye Zhenfan mentioned it. How old was Lu Mingshu? She had only been in the Harmonization Realm for a year at most, right? Even if she was gifted, it wasn’t so easy to master the Physical Manifestation of Sword Intent. Most did it when they were in the Harmonization Realm, but only after practising their skills for a long time. If one’s body constitution wasn’t very good, they might only master it after reaching the Spirit Realm.
However, since they started, there was no reason for them to stop now.
Lu Mingshu’s eyes shone, and the mystic light on her sword shone brighter.
Having fought with her once already, Ye Zhenfan wasn’t surprised. “What the hell are you all doing? Mystic Water Sword!” he yelled.
This brought the other two back to reality.
If their Ninth and Tenth Brothers couldn’t do it alone, they had to fight too. How could they allow an outsider to bully Ye Family members?
The Mystic Water Sword of the Ye Family wasn’t weak. If multiple attacks were combined, the power would be multiplied!
This was something that all Beiming residents were aware of.
Four rays of light blue sword-light shot forward, looking like fish jumping out of the river and causing layers of energy to ripple.
Under the beautiful sight, endless killing moves were hidden beneath. Layer by layer, continuously.
A four-person Mystic Water Sword attack – let’s see where she can hide now!
“Interesting!” Lu Mingshu muttered, feeling the layers of force getting stronger. In no time, it had turned into a suppressive power, inundating Lu Mingshu.
The mystic light around her enlarged. Lu Mingshu didn’t dodge; instead, she went forward.
Ye Zhenfan sneered. “You really do not know where you stand!” You may have beaten me, but our Ye Family Mystic Water Sword is not that easy!
On the other hand, Ye Zhenxing was grinning from ear to ear. To him, this Miss Lu was still young, so it was expected that she would underestimate her enemy. Nice, now she’ll know how powerful our Mystic Water Sword is.
The layers of water were now one with Lu Mingshu.
Ye Zhenxing smirked, anticipating Lu Mingshu’s sorry figure. However, the next moment, he was shouting, “That’s impossible!”
