Outside Light Phantom Hall a crowd encircled around a young lady dressed in noble clothing with a arrogant demeanor accompanied by servants and a shabbily dressed young boy shielding a similarly dressed little girl of 9/10 years old.
"Xia Hen Chun, this is too far not only are you bullying my sister in broad day light, you dare to make trouble in front of Light Phantom Hall" The young boy held great idolization towards the Light Phantom Hall for its just and impartial attitude, it was rare for strong powers to not be arrogant and domineering.
"Hmph, so what? It's just some slightly powerful place but no matter what it's still not as powerful as Nan Xia Empire" From Xia Hen Chun's perspective the Four Empires were the strongest power and the Light Phantom Hall's inaction just proved her thoughts. Having been pampered from young she became an arrogant and willful *****.
When the Light Phantom Sect members heard her words they were itching to give the dumb girl a good beating, but restrained themselves due to the Light leader's orders. They can deal with being insulted for now but Xia Hen Chun's words were on the boundary of insulting their master, once she did...hehe~
People around them just spectated, watching a good show, not having any intention of interfering; as far as this dumb mob knew, although Light Phantom Hall had loads of treasures but their power is an enigma, they fear the petty General's Manor's fourth young miss more .
"What Blind Butterfly, that person is probably just putting on airs trying to be mysterious and they are too ugly to be seen" Now they've had it, that little brat dared to go insulting their master, hmph, just wait until master reveals her true appearance lets see if there will or will not be an red hand print on that 'beautiful' face of yours after getting face-slapped.
Just as they were about to intervene a pleasant voice reverberated over the arguing, stopping the enraged subordinates in their tracks.
"Oh? Where did this ignorant girl come from? It's more like she's the one putting on airs, trying to look cool"
"Just who do you think you are?" Xia Ling Chun arrogantly said not putting Zi Hua in her eyes.
Just as all hell was about to break loose, Zi Hua glanced towards them indicating for them to stop.
Zi Hua altered her appearance with the skill she got on the eighth floor, after becoming a Martial Lord it now takes more than one major breakthrough to unlock the next floor, though it's in an irregular pattern(yeah, as irregular as your updates author). Zi Hua was now a High Stage Martial Emperor, on the verge of breaking-through to Martial Honor.
But her subordinates could still tell it was her due to the spiritual imprint.
Zi Hua had thrown the three noisy spirit beasts back into Heaven-defying artifact so they wouldn't start a killing spree.
"Who am I?" Zi Hua let out a light chuckle.
"Trash like you don't deserve to know" Xia Hen Chun and Xia Wen Ya were truly full-blooded sisters: both having such horrendous personalities.
Hearing that, the haughty Xia Hen Chun almost vomited blood out of rage.
"You, you... How dare you, do you even know who I am?" Xia Hen Chun pointed a finger at Zi Hua, infuriated.
"Hmm?" Zi Hua raised an eyebrow and feigned ignorance making Xia Hen Chun more confident.
"I am General Manor's fourth young miss, Xia Hen Chun. Hmph this young lady shall be magnanimous and if you kneel down and apologize I might forgive you" After announcing her background, she expected the girl who came from who knows where would start groveling and begging for forgiveness, but alas how could Zi Hua not play around with her a bit after the stupid girl delivers herself to her doorstep, literally.
Although Xia Hen Chun wasn't the one who led Xia Fei Yan to her demise but she had done a fair bit of bullying.
"Oh, tch. From your confident tone I thought you would have a more powerful background"
Xia Hen Chun was angered speechless, having been humiliated in front of such a large crowd.
"Young Miss, please return, if madam finds out you caused trouble outside she won't be happy" A servant advised with a fearful expression.
"Hmph, let's go" Having been humiliated enough Xia Hen Chun wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, when she walked away people automatically gave way.
Seeing Xia Hen Chun leave, the crowd quickly dispersed, eager to go and tell their friends about this hilarious piece of news.
Just as Zi Hua was about to leave, the young boy and girl approached her.
"Thank you miss"
"No need" It wasn't her intention to help them in the first place, she just wanted to humiliate Xia Hen Chun.
But when she saw them with Truth's eye she found the two people's character to be exceptional and talent to be great; if they were to be honed by her, the two of them although could not compare to her, would be shocking geniuses and they might end up in bad circumstances because of today's matter.
"Actually, would you like to join Light Phantom Sect?"
"Huh?" Confused by the sudden question, they were unable to respond.
"Of course, but the two of us are still too young"
"Come with me" Although unsure of what this stranger was thinking of doing but since she was leading them into Light Phantom Hall, she wouldn't try to do anything.
