Lovers? Huang Sheng Hong didn't know if he was supposed to laugh or cry at his daughter's words. However, on the outside, he forced himself to maintain a stern expression. What was this daughter of his talking about? Since when did Shen Qui and Li Xian turn lovers?
"Alright. I will leave and sleep." Lyca said before leaving. She didn't need to hear her father's reaction as both of them knew that she wasn't really going to sleep. Surely, the fact about Li Xian and Shen Qui surprised her father so much to the point of being speechless. Lyca went to her room and immediately went to the secret laboratory that her father asked his people to make for her.
Looking at the various chemicals inside her laboratory, Lyca chose something that was full of colored green liquid then another one with a blue one. After a few minutes of mixing some stuff, a satisfied expression slowly blossomed in her face. If that Shen Qui was indeed planning against her family, she would not hesitate to use this liquid to make him suffer.
A sinister laugh escaped her lips. After watching the solvent for a few more minutes, Lyca immediately started crystallizing it. In case, Shen Qui won't drink the poison, Lyca was already planning to make him swallow it instead. Then she let out another sinister laughter.
This poison… ehem was designed to mess up Shen Qui's reproductive system! Just the thought of it made her giggle. After a few minutes, Lyca opened her computer and started thinking of this new poison's name.
Gentle Size. A solvent that will melt men's reproductive organs in a matter of days.
Such a silly name for a solvent that would create problems for men. Should she make someone drink this tablet as a sort of way to test it's capabilities? Lyca fell into another dilemma. Now that she thought about it… all of her poisons were untested as she couldn't really ask people to drink it- That would be problematic and would only attract attention.
Lyca also hated experimenting with animals as she found them cute and therefore couldn't hurt them. If this continued… she couldn't make antidotes for these poisons as she had no way of knowing the extent of its effects. She needed to test it on people.
Lyca raised an eyebrow as it hit her. The Long Family. The Huang Family's enemies. Should she find the time to test her newly created poisons against those people? Slowly, a smile slithered on to her face. Long Founding School of Elites.
Wasn't that a place where the elites and talented go to? Meaning, these people should be experts in martial arts and geniuses? An idea came to her mind. Maybe… going to this school was not such a bad thing after all.
...…
Days passed. Soon, the month of being grounded finally ended. Of course, this was not a very good thing for Lyca. She wanted to stay inside her house forever! Yet, she knew this was nothing but her wishful thinking.
"A week from now, you and Shen Qui will go to the Long Founding School of Elites. Inside the school a dormitory exists but you can choose to stay in an apartment inside the campus. Most of the students would actually prefer apartments than the dormitory as they hate sharing rooms. Of course, there were also people who wanted to stay with someone and build their influence." Old Man Huang said as his gaze traveled towards Lyca and Shen Qui. Then he looked at Huang Xiaoxuan and said. "Since you refused to live with Li Xian, I have set up a—"
"I want to live in the dormitories." Huang Xiaoxuan interrupted her grandfather's words. She had decided to live in a dormitory as this would broaden her network. It would allow her to socialize with more people not just in Long City but also throughout the whole country. She was sure that most people would also choose this method to build some friendships too.
After all, everyone in this school wanted to establish their influence and name in the country.
"Question." Lyca suddenly raised her hand. "Can we bring things to the school?"
"Things? If you mean weapons… no. You are not allowed to bring destructive weapons inside the school. I believe people are still allowed to carry defensive weapons. Daggers for example are quite common as these people have some daggers given to them by their ancestors."
"…" Lyca was confused. Just what kind of school was this? For some reason, this reminded her of a somewhat powerful sect that trained all future heirs. Why did a school like this exist in this world?
"That's all for now. I will personally send you to the school one week from now. You can do whatever you want. You can use this time to prepare yourself. This is an important battle not just for both of you but for the whole Huang Family's future."
"Yes Grandfather." Huang Xiaoxuan nodded. Right now, her haughty appearance was no longer there. After what happened a few weeks ago, Xiaoxuan realized something big.
She had underestimated her opponent. Since her father informed her about Lyca's achievement she had already looked down on her and thought that she was nothing but a clown who used her money to make those formulas. It seems that she was wrong. So wrong.
When Huang Xiaoxuan saw the video of how Lyca struck her, making her faint in less than two seconds, she realized that this cousin of hers was hiding her strength. She wasn't sure why Lyca did it but all she knew was the fact that this Lyca could kill her if she wasn't more careful in the future.
This woman was actually so ruthless and cunning. Moreover, Lyca was so good at acting like a stupid sheep when in fact she was a fox! However, this didn't mean that she would easily give up. In fact, she already had a plan in mind. She would gather all the influence that she could get and learn everything in six months. She would work hard and do everything she could to defeat this Lyca Huang.
