Tian Lan sweated as she woke up from daze and felt her ears buzzing.
What the hell happened?!
This was the first thought that came into her mind as she turned sideways looking at her seniors inquisitively.
'Hey, guys! Tell me!'
Tian Lan shook her cousin hard to fill her in on the details.
However, Tian Shan just sneered and shook her off saying, " What are dreaming about? pay attention here." He strongly had a feeling that something was coming. Tian Shan stopped paying attention to his sister and continued to watch. His face was tense.
"Fourth...Fourth brother--"
" Shut up, will you?" Tian Shan was occupied watching.
However, Tian Lan's mind was in complete mess. She mouth opened a few times but she didn't have the guts to say anything.
Eh!.....
Should she tell them or let them experience for themselves?
Tian Lan was in huge dilemma.
But regardless her dilemma she knew one thing for sure: Today was going to be bloody day.
"Huh! You are all really good! Too good at lying!" Another smile bloomed on her lips causing her shallow dimples at either edge of the lips to deepen.
Those dimples were were unique. Unlike usual diples which normally appeared on the middle of the cheeks Jiang Ying Yue's dimples were unique. They hung near the edges of her beautiful lips and bloomed to their fullest whenever she smiled.
It was breathtaking.
However, Jiang Ying Yue's companions for some reason felt doom was coming... of course not on them, it would be on those poor fellows who dared to stab hornet's nest.
They were excited, they were thrilled yet they were also afraid. They clenched their fist and waited earnestly....any moment Jiang Ying Yue needed they would rush over.
This was the second time those foolish bastards forced her to smile like that. They would be doomed this time for sure. And it may also create a lot of trouble. So, they must help their friend to clean up the mess, though there were also high chances that they might get cleaned with the mess they were very willing.
Whatever it may be but the little boy was their companion and could also be considered a close friend after spending a week together. So, there was no way they would leave him be when he was in trouble.
To them, this was how a friendship should be--warm and sincere, not hypocritical and backstabbing.
" Hey! You brat, don't go spouting nonsense! Who are you calling liars?! With our strength and status do you think is there any need for us to lie? Watch your mouth!... Just because we are in Lan Quan doesn't mean we can't anything to you!!" The ugly man looked especially terrifying with those bulging eyes as he threatened Jiang Ying Yue.
From his face, clear malice and murderous intent were dripping. His gaze was menacing.
He really intended to kill Jiang Ying Yue, and he would have long done so if they weren't in Lan Quan.
Others who got scolded were also enraged and were starting to show signs of violence. They were at their breaking point.
And Jiang Ying Yue had been waiting for this. Her enchanting face held a look that seemed to say ' You want to kill me? Let's see who can kill whom first.'
She wasn't daunted by their menacing gazes nor was intimated by their threats. To her, they were just like clowns hooting about.
" You.. yes you ugly man, your woman was right to run away from you. Who can bear living with a man who's ugly in and out?.... And you...that one to the left to the first ugly guy....yes, yes, it's you...with that face and with that heart how can you woo a beautiful and kind girl? Give up already! With that black heart, you are doomed to stay single forever. And even if you marry you end up marrying a shrew..and you... the third one to the right of that first ugly man. You are a lustful man...I am giving you some kind advice--don't go wagging your tongue when your eyes are roaming all over their bodies--Oh...I forgot to mention you swing both ways..." Jiang Ying Yue continued pointing out one after another, taking out their darkest secrets in open.
At first, the crowd was quite puzzled at her muttering but they continued listening carefully and caught the reaction of a few people whom the boy was pointing at as he ranted out their darkest secrets. Soon realization struck them and they all turned speechless.
What was happening?
Was the boy speaking truth or spouting randomly?
To be honest, no one really believed Jiang Ying Yue but there are still discussions going.
They were pointing fingers and their gazes were strange and piercing. No one really cared if her statement was true.
The only thing they cared about was gossip.
Although, they were cultivators they were human after all. And it was one of their toxic traits.
Those people who had their secrets brought out in open were stunned beyond words and those who were behind in the queue waiting for their oncoming doom turned flustered.
It's over!
What sort of magic was this?!
Was that boy a devil who could read people's minds?...
This boy was too scary...Scary beyond words!
But these people were even more absurd.
Tian Lan and others who didn't know what was going on only had a look that was a mixture of pity and gloating.
These people were just reaping what they sow.
This boy's mouth was just too poisonous. He was pretty good at finding ways to get back at others.
However, these people deserved it. None of these people was a kind soul. It wasn't their face that was ugly it was their soul that was dirty.
" You know...In this world no one is perfect and no one is ugly." Jiang Ying Yue began lightly, " We are so many people living in this world, we are all different and each of us has a different taste and different way of living. So, how can there be absolute ugliness and absolute beauty? It all depends on the eyes of the beholder. To some people, you may be ugly but to those who love you--you'll be the most beautiful person in the world. And in the same way, some people may find you beautiful but to those who hate you'd be ugly as a hag. So, in conclusion, there is no absolute beauty nor absolute ugliness. And that's not all, anyone can look beautiful with the help of make-up. But what about internal beauty? Physically your looks can be mended but what about your soul? What about your heart? What about your mind?.....which is ugly and rotten to the core? How are you going to beautify them? Have you ever thought about it?" Her voice was firm and her gaze was steady as she asked.
