The sound of a light bulb exploding and a tiger sealed vase fell on the table. There was also a sudden drop of temperature in the surrounding area.
The huge crowd ran away in panic and in just seconds the venue became a mess.
Su Ci Yi moved her hands and fresh pieces of green leaves appeared on her hand. She breathe her qi and channeled her spiritual energy. The seemingly simple leaves turn into sharp blades that could even cut a meat bone. Su Ci Yi flicked it sending to the hundreds of onlookers. Of course this action of hers, no one was paying attention 'cause everyone was in a panic, and some of them got cut by an unknown object.
Su Ci Yi's unfathomable eyes cast a glance at a certain woman and a man. They had fled so far away from her.
She controlled her 'little leaf friend' and wave a bundle towards the couple.
Xiang Mo Mo wailed as she was hit on her face, on her arms, and on her feet. Blood oozed down her skin. Huan Ro was the same. But unlike her, he seems not to mind the pain, as he hailed the woman frantically inside.
The night had become specifically useless.
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
Su Ci Yi was just a lying innocent cat on the sideline, once provoke, that harmful animal would turn into a ferocious tigress. That's the nature of the jungle. This life was just like survival of the fittest. This time in this life, she won't turn a blind eye.
She didn't want this to happen, but she was provoked.
She only took precautious action in case this situation came into worst.
However, life was not that easy as one may ponder. When you think you control the situation, try to observe and vigilant of your surroundings first. Su Ci Yi made an error in this calculation.
While everyone was busy running away from danger, someone swiftly dashed from the side and pushed Su Ci Yi to the pool. A loud splash got the people back on their attention and saw her drowning.
The sound of lights exploding stopped.
The painful wind blowing came into a halt.
The mysterious object that was flying from the air was nowhere to be found.
Only a woman's wail struggling from the water can be heard and no one was strong enough to step forward because of fear from the recent situation.
Only the look of pity and worry was plastered on their own faces.
Su Ci Yi went down...down the cold water and eventually submerge the dark abyss of nothingness.
Splash!
As the waves chaotically move and along with the movement of a man swimming towards her, Su Ci Yi's last consciousness faded again.

Qing Ling Jing Sect
"Ahhh!" The 10-year-old Su Ci Yi gasped when a black python bit her arms. She was currently following his Senior Brother to find a medicinal herb along the river. She had been pre-occupied over something that he had lost him.
The poor Su Ci Yi gloomily sat beneath the enormous rock as she looked at her swollen wound.
She caught the python snake and send it to her spiritual net. Poking its outer skin of the slumbering animal while saying " You are a bad snake. I didn't do anything to you but you bit me. Now we're fair. I caught you."
The dangerous animal received her malevolent intention and hiss at the stick that was poking its skin.
Hah! "Are you going to fight me? Just try and I won't think twice to grill you for lunch!" While saying that, she felt her whole body burn. Her inside was so hot and red spots come out from her skin.
She looked at the animal that poisoned her.
Her Senior Brother was not yet here. She had no stock of poison-cure-medicine on her sling satchel. Her body, couldn't take it as she lied on the hard rock. On her level, the python made a sound at her as it widely opened its mouth. If not for the cage it's in. It might bite her again.
"You really is a snake" despite her speeding heartbeat and pale lips she was still able to laugh at her situation.
It could be said that her Senior Brother arrived at that moment. Seeing her weakening state and poisoned arm, he immediately pulled out the clogged blood and sprinkled medicinal herb.
He also channeled his spiritual qi to cope up with her pale body. It didn't take long when she gained her natural color and her breathing stabilized.
Of course, she got an earful scolding after that.
Seeing the python still curling on the net, she took her pocket knife and pulled open the spiritual net. The black python opened its mouth in its defensive action and any moment would strike back if she decided to kill it.
But Su Ci Yi only opened the net and let it leave. Returning the knife back at her pocket again.
The snake took its opportunity to escape outside and crawled far away.
"Why didn't you kill it? It bit you and you suffered to death. Aren't you afraid it would poison anyone again?" Lu Feng felt curious about his disciple's action.
"Senior Brother, it is the snake's nature to bit whoever seize its territory. How could I judge it's way of living when it's only struggling to live? Besides I'm cured now, thank you, Senior Brother!!!" Su Ci Yi plastered a smile as it showed her two white tiger teeth.
Lu Feng looked at the path the python took with unfathomable eyes. No one could describe what was he thinking at that moment.
"Senior Brother?" Lu Feng got his attention back to her.
"Su Ci Yi, your softness will be your greatest weakness in the future. Your enemy will only take advantage of that trait of yours"
