They must have come prepared this time. Leng Qingning felt an unprecedented sense of urgency in his heart.
Yan Lingxi glanced at them lightly, but when she saw Shen Youshu's timid look, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Feeling Yan Lingxi's terrifying gaze, Shen Youshu subconsciously hid in the crowd to reduce her presence.
"Junior sister, why do you look so ugly?"
Hearing Tian Feiyu's words, Lu Yan subconsciously looked at Shen Youshu's face. As expected, he saw that her face was frighteningly pale.
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and had a nightmare." She touched her cheek subconsciously. Lu Yan didn't ask any more questions after hearing that.
"Hey, isn't this Junior Sister Leng? How come you've become so listless after not seeing you for a few days? Oh, right, I almost forgot, you've always been as timid as a mouse. Could it be that you were scared by the cat demon and couldn't sleep, so you deliberately made up an excuse?"
Who else but Cheng Mingxuan could have such a sarcastic tone?
Do you want me to eat him?
Yan Ci licked Xin Zi. This guy was really an eyesore and might even cause trouble. It would be better to just eat him in one bite.
Of course Leng Qingning couldn't let him do that. Now she had no backing, no background, and no cheats. All she had was a crappy system and this stinky snake whose cultivation had just recovered to the Golden Core stage. She was not enough to compete with the deputy headmaster. Even the headmaster was helpless against him, not to mention she was just an ordinary disciple. She didn't dare to take risks easily.
If she wanted to take action, she had to find the most appropriate time, and it would be best if the other party could never get over it. Otherwise, if she didn't get rid of the root of the problem, it would only leave her with endless hidden dangers.
However, Cheng Mingxuan's face that deserves a slap is really disgusting. "Brother Cheng, you seem to know me very well. Since you know me so well, you should know that I value my life very much. Isn't it human nature to be a little timid?" Seeing Leng Qingning acting like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, Cheng Mingxuan was furious.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, Junior Sister Leng's eloquence has become much better. I hope you can continue to be so good." Cheng Mingxuan did not hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Then don't bother Brother Cheng. I will. But you should think about how to explain to the sect when you return. Escaping from prison without permission is also a serious crime." The relationship between them was extremely tense to begin with, so there was naturally no need to pretend to have a good relationship in front of others. If she did so, she would be disgusted even if they were not disgusted.
Very good, this woman has become tougher after returning from Wanguiyuan.
Seeing that the woman he had once trampled under his feet could refute him in this way, Cheng Mingxuan suddenly felt murderous.
No one noticed that Cheng Mingxuan suddenly looked ferocious, and the hand hidden under the table attacked Leng Qingning with a palm. Haha, based on this woman's cultivation level, even if she didn't die, this palm would cripple her hand.
[Be careful, that Cheng guy wants to kill you]
The other people didn't notice anything unusual under the table and each of them was enjoying the food with their bowls and chopsticks.
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingning used magic to resist, but how could she, a half-baked person who had just established his foundation, be a match for Cheng Mingxuan?
At this moment, the little black snake wrapped in the sleeve showed an icy cold look in its eyes, and released demonic power from its body. The table where several people were sitting was immediately overturned on the spot, and all the dishes on the table were knocked over and smashed to pieces. The food on the table could not be eaten.
Looking at the broken food on the ground, Dongfang Ao's face became more and more ugly. How dare these people slap him in the face like this!
I'll settle the score with them later.
Cheng Mingxuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked at Leng Qingning in disbelief: How could this happen? When did this woman become so strong?
Seeing the extremely tense atmosphere, Dongfang Ao, the city lord, naturally stepped forward to mediate, "My dear friends, could you please, for my sake, temporarily put aside your hostility and make peace?"
"What's it to you?"
He didn't take a mere old man seriously. Cheng Mingxuan ridiculed him mercilessly. Dongfang Ao's face looked extremely ugly. After all, he was the city lord. Cheng Mingxuan's words were undoubtedly a slap in his face in front of everyone.
Dongfang Ao resisted the urge to suck him dry, but when he thought about his plan, he realized that now was not the time to fall out with these people, so he had to sit down, suppressing his anger.
Leng Qingning glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. She didn't expect that Dongfang Ao was so tolerant. In front of so many people, he could choose to endure being insulted.
However, the calmer he appeared, the more uneasy Leng Qingning felt. Who knew what evil tricks this guy might come up with.
However, after this farce, Cheng Mingxuan will not attack her easily.
Cheng Mingxuan suddenly approached Leng Qingning and threatened: "You'd better be glad that these people are always by your side."
Ye Qingzhu walked over with cold eyes and said, "I don't care what grudges you have against each other. Since I am the leading sister this time, I will never let my junior sisters get hurt. Cheng Mingxuan, you two better not do anything to my junior brothers and sisters, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
"Ye Qingzhu, do you want to meddle in other people's business?" Cheng Mingxuan squinted at her.
Yan Lingxi touched the ring nonchalantly and sneered: "Mr. Ye, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
"Hmph, Cheng Mingxuan, others are afraid of offending you, but I, Ye Qingzhu, am not. Although you have a father who is the deputy sect leader, don't forget that the sect leader still has the final say in Zixia Sect!"
Bai Xichen stood up and stood with Ye Qingzhu, "Qingzhu and I will not let you hurt our junior sister."
Just because other disciples of Zixia Sect don’t know Ye Qingzhu doesn’t mean that disciples like them, who are close to the core of the sect, don’t know.
Ye Qingzhu was highly valued by the sect leader. Once, a disciple of the Cangjian Sect bullied Ye Qingzhu. The sect leader immediately broke out with her and rushed into the Cangjian Sect to cripple the disciple. So from then on, even the core disciples like them did not dare to provoke her easily.
A look of annoyance flashed in Yan Lingxi's eyes. Cheng Mingxuan was so stupid that he offended Ye Qingzhu right at the start. Now it would be even more difficult for him to kill that woman.
"Sister Qingzhu, you misunderstood. Senior brother was just joking with Junior Sister Leng. After all, we are all from the same sect. When we go out, we naturally have to take care of each other. Since you have a mission to complete, we two will not disturb you. We will take our leave first." After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Cheng Mingxuan away.
The moment the two of them stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, Yan Lingxi inexplicably felt relaxed. There was indeed something wrong with this City Lord's Mansion. It would be best if Leng Qingning could die there without anyone noticing.
In the crowd, a petite figure looked at Yan Lingxi's departing back with a look of regret on her face. Why did she leave like this?
