"Hey, Lian Shuiyin sister——"
When Lian Shuiyin was about to leave the Sword Casting Pavilion, someone suddenly grabbed her from behind.
She turned around and saw Chu Shangli's sweet smile——
"What's wrong? Sister Dongxia?"
Lian Shuiyin didn't notice that when Chu Shangli called her "sister" intimately, she didn't resist at all.
"If you are willing to trust my judgment, I think it would be useless for you to confront Ouyang Huan now—"
"Benefits?" Lian Shuiyin clicked her tongue and said, "Although I don't want to complain about you, Dongxia sister..."
"No, it's such a standard opening, you really should just complain——"
"In that case, I won't be polite—" Lian Shuiyin shrugged and smiled: "You are so capable, why bother thinking about so many meaningless things? Flattery, sophistication, etc.—I think it is simply disgusting if ability has to be entangled in these superficial things. It was obvious that they wanted to trick you just now, but ended up shooting themselves in the foot, and yet you don't feel anything at all? You have the ability but act like a saint and let others trick you for nothing? You forgave Tianning, I can understand—Tianning is still a good child after all, but if you don't forgive me, there is nothing to say... No one is holding a knife to your neck and demanding that you forgive me..."
"No one is holding a knife to my neck to force me to forgive. As for choices, if there's no freedom to refuse, there's no freedom to choose. You see, I didn't intentionally target Miss Ouyang and Viviana, but they made their own mistakes... To succeed, you need to fight, but fighting is just a supplement to ability... If you only fight blindly and your ability is weak, even if you win a position, you will only bring more shame to others..."
"You mean to say that evil will be punished by God?"
"No, I don't think so—if I hadn't won your favor today and the favor of the other Gongyi disciples, including the mistress, and hadn't rushed into the fire, then Miss Liz wouldn't be the only one pleading for Vivina. So, you can't assume I don't have the means—if I hadn't broken Young Master Gongyi's sword in public, demonstrating my abilities before you all, I wouldn't be able to remain peacefully within the Gongyi family right now, even receiving permission to return at any time. If I can win within three days, then I should be able to gain even more favor from the Gongyi family—if I can earn their favor now, at fifteen, then, as long as I don't die suddenly from some inexplicable illness, I should have the opportunity to reach heights unattainable by many..."
"To be honest—" Lian Tianning interrupted, "In my opinion, you are already at a height that many people cannot reach—"
"That's why I have to work harder so that nothing goes to waste. In other words, I was able to make Vivina suffer in public and make Ouyang Huanshi take such ruthless actions against his subordinates. All of this is based on..." She paused: "It's all based on my hard work and strength. If it was just a simple quarrel, I guess Ouyang Huanshi and Vivina's favorability might drop, but I wouldn't gain much either - maybe in the end the limelight would be snatched away by Chu Moyin... Senior Sister Chu Moyin. As you can see, Senior Sister Chu Moyin is also a rare talent - so, if I were to regard anyone as an opponent, it would definitely be Senior Sister Chu Moyin - when Ouyang Huanshi gave up on Vivina, I no longer regarded her as an opponent..."
